NEW YORK, March 21.-"Graft." as d

It has gradually been borne upon Mr.

partment. While it required no partic-

alize this. Mr.. McAdoo has gone further
and convinced himself that the process
Of eliminating graft from the force is
not as easy as it is to appreciate its ex-

Mr.. McAdOO was asked.

WARES POSITION
STIRS COMMENT
His Order Would Include
Many Active Men.
WOULD INCREASE THE ROLLS
Placing Age of O. Years as Limit of
Manual Labor Leads to Curious
Conclusions.

The position taken by the Commits
sioner of Pensions in the order issued
last Wednesday. that a man is super
animated ana unfit for manual labor al
the age OF sixty-twO, has created a
great deal of comment. 1t is pointed
out by those opposed TO the ruling that
several members OF the Supreme Court.
the President Of the Senate. and hair
the members Of that body, the Speaker
of the House. and about fifty Repre-
sentatives. Secretary Of the interior
Hitchcock. and Commissioner Ware
himself are all over that age.
1t is true that the rule applies to
those engaged in manual labor, and yet,
again. manual labor as dcnned at the
Pension ONCE is not necessarily heavy
labor, but any work the performance of
which requires physical exertion.
Will Increase the Rolls.
Those persons who look on Mr..
Wares order with disfavor say there
will be no end OF money spent to give
pensions to able-bodied men, many Of
whom are today earning good salaries
doing work they are likely TO continue
doing for ten years to come.
This argument is met by the Pension
Office officials with the statement that
men at that age would ma II ndIu 20
earn $12 a month. which is twice the
amount of the pension of S., and that
tho order merely takes care of the men
whose age acts as a stability stronger
in many cases than sickness.
Cannot Figure Cost.
AS 10 the COZ. Mr. Ware has con
fessed he does not know how much Of
an appropriation viii be necessary.
Some time ago the record and pension
division issued an estimate showing
that all but 191 ,571 of the surviving sol
diers and sailors of the civil war are
already on the pension rolls. 1t is gen
orally believed. however, that those who
are not prN-ided for number between
POO. 900 and z25. 600. and that at le;vt l00,
600 will ultimately be added 10 the rolls
under this order. Many, Of course, Will
never apply. but taking that point into
consideration many think the additional
cost will be something like S6.OO0O 600
Gen. John G. Black, commandment
chief of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lic was reticent when asked how many
he thought would be concerned in the
new rule. but said he was confident that
the number was largely exaggerated by
the ma jority of those who have given
the matter consideration.

There has been much debate from

be made Some brands OF -four will
produce a greater weight of bread than
other brands.
Il. tho earliest days of the District OF

that the lowest production from a bar

GOOD RATTLEsNAKE HUNTING.
Thirty-six Baxgei In One Week By 4

Thirty-six Baggei In One Week By a
Connecticut Man.
John @. Reeves, of Portland, Conn,
Familiarity known as "Del," and having
a national reputation as rattlesnake
hunter. has recently gained fresh
laurels. Last week thirty-six rattlers,
ranging from fifteen inches to four and
a half feet In length. were killed by
him in the Somerset Mountains. stu.
ated In the eastern part OF Portland.
Seventeen Of various lengths were
killed within space of about fifteen
square feet. Some of the large snakes
had nine or ten ratties, while some OF
the smaller had but one or two. The
snakes were beautifully striped. Ten
baby rattlers were found huddled to-
gether near their nest, which was in
a rock crevice.
A number Of handsome skins adorn
the wallis Of Mr.. Reeves home on Rose
Hill, and he also has several large
reptiles preserved in alcohol The hunt
er captures his snakes by stealing up
to them while they are basking in the
sun and pinning them to the ground
with forked stick four or five feet
in length. He then approaches ana
uses club. Mr.. Reeves finds much
sport in rattlesnake hunting, and also
finds It very profitable. One dollar an
ounce Is realized for the oil, which is
very penetrating. The skins net hin,
from Is cents to 50, and occasionally
more for an unusually large one. Mr..
Reeves makes annual visits to the
Somerset Mountains and vicinity to
capture snakes. Last season num-
Der OF rattlers were Grated by him and

CATCHING COLD.
Is the Beginning of Most Winter
Acknowledgements Protects
Against and Cures Colds.

There is no tact of medical science
better established than that teaspoon
full of Peruna before each meal during
the winter season will absolutely pro-
tect person from catching cold. Now,
if this is true (and there is no doubt of
it), thousands of lives would be saved.
and tens of thousands of cases of
chronic catarrh prevented, by this
simple precaution within reach of ey-
cry one.
After cold has been contracted a
teaspoonfull of Peruna every hour will
shortly cure it, leaving no trace of it
behind. After chronic catarrh has be-
come established, or the first stages OF
chronic bronchitis or consumption have
been reached, it will take much longer
to effect cure.
1t seems strange that as well known
and well established as these facts are
any one should neglect to profit by
them, and yet no doubt there are many
who pay little or no attention to them
