"A Civil Service Lesson.

There is no uncertain tone in the
order of Postmaster General Cortel-
you to the Postmaster at Louisville
relatives TO the enforcement of civil
service regulations in his Office.
The words leave no loophole for the
employees in question. They must
quit active politics or quit the
Government.
Ibis determination on the part of
the Postmaster Gen. to divorce his
department effectually from politl-
cal entanglements and annoying
alliances, rs far as les within his
power, may be taken as the kew.
note of his administration. While
he acts on the recommendation of
the Civil Service Commission hs

select the paths they are to travel
but adds that the order is to he car.
ried into effect without DELAY.
1t is also the spirit of the admin
istration of which the Postmaster
General is part, and may have a
salutary influence in other direc.
tions. In spite of stringent laws
dealing with the political activity
of Government employees and the
many lessons that have been taught
in the punishment of offenders there
are times when men who occupy
important positions in the service
and the communities where they
reside forget the existence OF the
regulations under which they work.
1t is on such occasions as these that

HAY FEVER FOR 81 YEARS.
WELL KNOWN NEW ENGLAND WOMAN
CURED OF HAY FEvER-cURE WAS
rAaTyuQ

WELL KNOWN NEW ENGLAND WOMAN
CURED OF HAY FEvER-cURE WAS
LASTING.
The thousands of discouraged people
who dread the approach of summer be-
cause they have hay fever and cannot
find any relief from 1t, will read with In
terest and gratitude the following state
ment from Helen s. Williams OF Mans
field, Mass.
"For 81 years, from the month OF
August until heavy frost, have been
afflicted with hay fever, growing worse
and worse each year, until OF late years
have been unable to attend to my work
during that period.
"Last summer I fortunately gave by.
omei trial, and am happy to say that
it entirely cured me, and l have had no
occurrence of the disease SINCE"
This letter is only one OF many that
have come to the proprietors OF Hyomei,
and the results following this treatment
have been so remarkable that 1t Is pro-
posed at the annual convention OF hay
fever sufferers to recommend Hyomei.
By breathing the germ-killing and
healing balsams of Hyomei, anyone can
have at any moment of the day, either In
their home or Office, climate like that
of the White Mountains.
The complete outfit costs but one 81,
extra bottles so cents. F. A. Shurtleff
& Co. agree to refund the money to any
hay fever sufferer who uses Hyomei
without benefit.

Base Ball.
OXFORD WINS THE TOURNAMENT AT
THE FAIR GROUNDS SATURDAY.

The base ball tournament held at the
fair grounds Saturday was great sue
cess. The weather was fine, and fail
sized crowd came out in the forenoon
and large crowd in the afternoon. The
four teams, with the exception of Bry-
ants Pond, were strengthened for the
occasion, and although the playing in
the afternoon games was very loose at
times, the teams were all good ones and
capable of playing fine ball. In the
drawing the teams were paired Bryant's
Pond and Radcliffe in the forenoon,
Hebron and Oxford in the afternoon and
then the two winners. The surprise OF
the day was the good showing made by
the Hebron team and the poor showing
made by Bryant's Pond in the last game.
The crowd had expected hot contest
between the two winning teams, but
such was not the case, the last game
being about as one sided contest as has
been played here this year.
BRYANT's POND 8; RADCLIFFE l.
The first game Of the day was very
late in starting and although called at
ten o'clock it was nearly eleven before
play was called. The teams we're very
evenly matched and no better ball play
ing has been seen on the grounds this
season. The opposing pitchers were
Shaw for Radcliffe, and Currier for
Bryant's Pond. Shaw is the former
Hebron pitcher now pitching for the
Seaside team at Old Orchard. He pitch
ed nice game, allowing Bryant's Pond
only 8 hits, but errors behind him were
very costly and although Radcliffe was
charged with only 8, the same number
as Bryant's Pond made, they were
responsible for their defeat. Currier
also did we'll in the box and although
hit harder than Shaw he kept his hits
we'll scattered and received fine support
at critical times. Neither pitcher passed
a batter or hit man during the game.
The fielding of both teams was, on
whole, very fast and clean, and one
could tell by their playing that each
was doing its utmost to win. F.
Farnum led both teams in batting
with 8 hits out of times at the bat.
Cole of Radcliffe was the only other
man to make 2 hits during the game.
