Vacation in Washington
Russell Sage doesn't believe in vacations.

Russell Sage doesn't believe in vacations

And in respects Uncle Sam goes to extreme

1t is said that 10000 employees in Washington, princi

days vacation every year.
That is all right By Of the short hours of labor
department clerk needs vacation less than other
people, perhaps but the vacation not without it's benefits
both to the department and the clerks.
/ But
In addition to the legal 80 days vacation each clerk is
entitled by law to 80 days 'sick leave' every year.
When he takes his sick leave his salary goes the
as it does during the vacation period
Now the city of Washington is frequently extoed

achievement which, I doubt not, could

This chemical was very expensive.

CryStaIized Poison

You know that hard water leaves
a deposit of lime in the bottom of
the teakettle in which it boils, and
soft water does not. That is because
soft water is filtered and contains no
lime, while hard water is not filtered
and is full of it.
You can imagine that if that de-
posit were to settle in the joint of
your knee it would be extremely pain
full. And if the deposit grew, you
could finally no longer endure the tor
ture of walking.
Yet that is the very way that
Rheumatism begins and ends. Except
that the deposit which forms is not
lime, but crystalized poison
For your blood is always full of
poiSon-the poison you eat and drink
and breathe into your system. 1t is
the purpose of the blood to absorb
and carry off this very poison. Ana
the kidneys, which are the blood fill
ters, are expected to cleanse the blood
and send it back through the system
clean to gather more poison which,
they, in turn, will eliminate.
But sometimes the kidneys fail
And sometimes, from some other
cause the blood gets so full of poison
that they can not absorb 1t all. This
is the start of Rheumatism. The
poison accumulates and crystallizes.
The blood carries the crystals and
they increase in size. Then, wnen It
can carry them no longer, II deposits
them in a joint--on bone-any-
where.
The twinge in your leg-the dull
ache in your arm on rainy day
these are the outward signs or the
unseen crystals. And the twisted
limbs and unspeakable anguish of the
sufferer who has allowed his symp-
toms to go unheeded and unattended
for years-these are the evidences of
what Rheumatism, neglected, can do.
Rheumatism includes lumbago, sci
ntica, neuralgia, gout-for all thest
are the results of rheumatic poison
In the blood.
Plainly, the first thing to do Is to
remove the poison. But this is not
enough. The formation of the poison
must be stopped, so that nature may
have chance to dissolve and elimi-
nate the crystals which have already
formed. Unless this Is done there can
be no cure-no permanent relief.

full men in the world of business.
Expert financiers have said that
young Rockefeller, as his fathers
successor, the elder having virtually
surrendered all his interests to his
son, can control something like a
thousand millions of dollars, a sum
which in a decade or two will natural
ly increase to an extent unheard of in
history, especially as it is not unusual
for Rockefeller investment to turn
out a profit of 40 per cent.
They declare he could corner the
worlds wheat supply and bring an
international war to an end; could
buy and close the greatest banks in
the United States and thus precipi.
tate a panic; could ruin thousands
by increasing the price of the COM
modify which he absolutely controls.
Precision is the keynote of his
character. He is pale, of medium
height, rather thick set, weak-eyed
and specialized and always clad in
plain black clothes. He does not
smoke and never tasted wine. When
he was married to Abby G. Aldrich,
daughter of Senator Aldrich, on Oc-
tober 3, 1901, all liquors were left
off the menu at his request.
Arising summer or winter no later
than $50 o'clock, he is at his Office
by 9, works there until 3 in the after
noon and then goes to a Broad street
cafe for luncheon. The meal never
costs him more than 80 cents. After
luncheon he goes back to the office
until about 5. and then to his home
at 10 West Fifty-fourth street, OPP
posite that of his father.
He may take a little walk in the
park or up Fifth avenue, or if his
wife happens to be entertaining
guests he will play the violin, his
favorite instrument, or turn the mu-
sic while she plays the piano. Din
ner is always plain and Mr. Rookie
Teller is usually in bed by 10 o'clock.

RURAL FREE
DELIVERY ROUTES

WASHINGTON, Dec. Thirty
two thousand rural free delivery
routes will be in operation in the
United States on July 1, 1905. This
service will cost the government a
little more than $2O,OOO,OO0. In the
next fiscal year, beginning July l..
1905, 6000 additional routes will be
established. making total of $4,000.
The cost of extending and maintain
ing rural free delivery in the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1905, is esti-
mated at s26,00O,OO0.
There are now pending, awaiting
action by the postofiice department,
1000 petitions for routes. as compared
with 1000 when Fourth Assistant
Bristow took charge of this division
of the postal service. The cost of
service is expected to decline proper
tionately from now on, due to the d.
minished available territory for rural
routes.
Up to the last six months special
attention has been given to individual
petitions, but latterly more considera-
tion has been given to county serv-
ices, especially in the northwestern
and middle western states. By the
time the next fiscal year rolls round
the officials expect to be up to date
with their work. Routes have been
established with such rapidity during
the last ID months that Fourth AS
sistant Bristow Is only 1000 behind,
and his orders are that these cases
shall be disposed Of as soon as pos
sible.
