NAUGHTY POST CARDS.
Department After Souvenirs-Belles
in Bathing Suits too Much.

Washington, August 1.-THE post
office department. ig going after the
souvenir postal card fad. Orders
have been issued 70 stop all such
cards which are offensive to decency
and good taste. There are plenty of
these cards which are not generally
regarded as indecent, and are no
worse than many of the pictures i'll
illustrated weeklies, but which are en-
tirely too "skittish' to suit the post
Office department Hereafter pictures
of girls in bathing suits will not
reach the addresses, nor will pictures
of red devils, accompanied by the leg
end I'm having devil of a time
The amount of such souvenir stuff
coming daily to the dead letter Office,
said James Rankin Young, the chief
of the dead letter Office, would amaze
any one on the outside. We have
three men who do nothing but handle
these postal cards.
1.-The worst come from abroad,
chiefly France. The German souven-
ir cards are for the most part inoffen-
sive, although some of them are
broad in their humor. 1t is only of
late that the American cards have
aoproached the indicate stage.
"The souvenir fad is a pretty one
If confined to reasonable bounds, but,
as wee see it, it Is dangerous bust
ness"

Soy Beans and Corn Make Fat Pigs.

The Purdue agricultural station
gives out the result of some interest
ing experiments in feeding soy beans,
middlings and tankage to pigs
Soy beans proved to be very val
liable adjunct to corn, being the most
efficient feed tested
Pigs fed ration of one part soy
beans to two parts of corn produced
two and one-hfth times as much gain
in the same length of time as did
those receiving corn only.
1t required 31O6 pounds of feed per
100 pounds of gain where one-third
of the ration was soy beans, while it
took 557.1 pounds per 100 pounds gain
where corn alone was fed.
Comparing the soy bean ration
with the middlings and tankage ra-
tons the amount of feed required
per 100 pounds gain stands: Soy
beans and corn 31O6 middlings and
corn 343.4; tankage and corn, 1906
pounds
Corn meal alone was shown to be
very inefficient as pork producer
The pigs receiving ration of one
third soy bean meal and two-thirds
corn meal produced 4O2 pounds gain
A ration of one-half middlings and
one-half corn meal produced 36s
pounds gain. One-sixth tankage and
ive-sixth corn meal produced 34s:
pounds gain while ration of corn
meal alone produced only 1873 pounds
gain.

CORTELYOU OPPOSED AS

Opposition TO the selection of Post

Among financial men the proposal to
elevate Mr.. Cortelyou 10 the second

urged that the Secretary of the Treas

WATCHING EFFECT
OF PURER WATER
Work Of Filtration Plant
Noted by Health Officer.

Believing that filtered water will soon
begin to have its effect upon the spread
of typhoid fever, DR.. Woodward, the
health officer, has prepared a nea chart
which will show how the various sec
tons OF the city where the outbreak is
most serious are benefited
While the Water Department OF the
District has made no effort 10 turn the
filtered water into any particular sec
ton OF the city, DR.. Woodward believes
that some parts of the District OF Col
umbia will receive more benefits at the
present time than others
To illustrate: On account of the prox-
unity 10 the pumps. it necessarily fol-
lows that these sections near the source
OF pressure viii get more of the filter
ed water than parts of the city far re-
moved from the filtration plant
The filtered water from all the
beds is stored in a common cham
Der, and from there passes under the
general reservoir of unfiltered water 20
the pumps on TrumbuIl street, where
both are mixed There are two pumps
one supplying Brightwood, and that
Wnlch supplies the greater portion Of
the Northwest and Capitol Hill
The present map kept by the Health
once shows that the typhoid fever area
starts at the river and goes up the
CITY, keeping between South and North
capitol streets on the east. and Four
teenth street on the west. The boundary
on the north is Florida avenue.
4 ne mains from the filtration plant
follow Florida avenue to Twenty-second
and streets. and then down L and 2
streets 10 New Jersey avenue TO Capt.
toI Hill, supplying all of Southeast
Washington and a part of the North
east and Southwest. A large part of
the area in which there are the greatest
number of typhoid fever cases lies
right along the big main pipe.
Dr. Woodward believes that on ac-
count OF the pressure the water now
supplied in that section contains a much
greater portion of filtered water than
parts of the city some distance from
the plant Therefore. il follows that the
effects of filtered water VIII begin to be-
corne manifest there first and the
health officer intends to show its pro-
gress.

LACEY IS SUGGESTED
AS HITCHc0CK'S SUCCESSOR

An interesting report has been I'm
circulation in department circles that
Representative John r. Lacey of Iowa
may become Secretary of the Interior
some time early next year, succeeding
Secretary Hitchcock
Representative Lacey is chairman of
the House Committee on Public Lands.
through which service he has come
into close contact with the business
and routine of the Interior Department.
1t is not apparent how Mr. Lacey
could conveniently be appointed a Cab
met member until after the retirement
OF Secretary Shaw, as the State now
has two members. The emba rrassment
about putting three Cabinet places into
Iowa, 1t is thought, would not especial
~ concern iowa, whose absorptiye ca
pacity has heretofore stood severe
strains without breaking. The report
is that the President would like the
services and knowledge of Mr.. Lacey
IT the Interior Department after the
retirement Of Mr. Hitchcock. The inn
pression that the latter is to retire has
recently subSided, however, until it's
revival in connection with this Lacey
rumOr.
