Thee English Fancies

The attendants AT a recent English
wedding carried ebony sticks having
their handles or tops covered with
sheaves OF pink roses.
At n welsh wedding I'm London the
bride had her SATIN wedding gown trim

HaPpIeSt TLnreof a GrI'S Life

There should be no happier time in a
girls life than the years from fourteen
TO twenty.
She should have no serious respons.-
bllities during those years, though she
should not be permitted 20 give up her
time entirely to friyolity
She has much 70 learn. and her char
scter IS usually ia such a formative
state that these years may be the max
ing OF the marring Of her whole life
There can be no laying down OF hard
and East rules for this age.
Individual needs must be considered
always, and s0liCitlous parents must
remember that something must be left
10 the girl herself and that too close
supervision Is as bad as too little.

MR.. STILLINGS DENIES
DID NOT MAKE STATEMENTS At
TRIBUTED TO HIM.

The charge made public today that Mr..
Charles A. Stillings. the public printer, had
been on the rack recently while testifying
before the House committee on appropria-
tons was shown to him this forenoon by a
star reporter. After reading the story he
declared that some parts of II We're untrue,
while the other parts were "garbled He
denied with emphasis that ne had ever rec
commended or even suggested to Congress
the alleged ACCESSIBILITY OF reducing the pay
or tile employees of the printing office or of
increasing the working hours from eight to
ten and the abolition of the annual leaves
OF absence.
When asked by members OF the appro-
priatOns committee why certain Items Of
printing cost the government more money
when executed at the government printing
Office than they could be done by CONNER
cial printeries said the public printer. IT
simply told the truth. as 1 had sworn to do.
II informed the appropriations committee
that the employees at the official printery re-
Celved more pay than those in private eS
Establishments: that they worked shorter
hours and that they were given annual
leaves OF absence. All OF these things, of
course. weighed in the balance and were
hAndiCapS when applied TO the relative cost
of printing between this office and private
establishments. | said; These are things
which make the government printing office
prices higher
viii Be No Reduction in Pay.
II viii say In all candor tina. Congress
will not. Ia my Judgment cu- down the rate
OF salaries paid here Neither will II in
crease the hours of daily labor. nor abolish
the annual leave system. / VIII add that !
have never requested Congress 20 do So
Mr.. Stilings said the tendency of the cx-
ocutIve departments is 10 cut down their
printing bills, and this Will OF necessity
sooner or later result in n moro or less re-
duction IN the force OF workers In the gcv-
crnment printing office. 1t was added shat
when Mr.. Stllings explained to the COM
mlttee his methods for conducting the Of
flee on a fair and up-to-date basis he was
Informed that his reversal of some OF the
obsolete methods at the printery was -as
refreshing as a cool shower of rain"
Inquiry was made this afternoon at the
rooms OF the House committee on appro-
priations as 10 what was said by Mr. Still
lngs when he appeared before that body In
regard TO the expenditures OF money at the
government printing Office during the recent
hearing on the legislative. judicial and ex-
ecutive appropriation bill. and what was
said TO him by members of the committee
One of the secretaries of the committee re-
piled that the testimony given under the
circumstances Is regarded as confidential
until after action has been taken on the
bill, and then It may be given out and the
statements of Mr.. Stillings shown. II any
statement was given out by member of
the committee It was against the rules of
the committee, II Is said.

Keep
Your Nerve

1t is nerve energy that runs
the organs OF your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system Of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty Of nerve force: If
YOU have not. the organs work
imperfectly. the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad. appe-
tite poor, kidneys inactive. and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with DR.. Miles Nervinc.

energy: it strengthens the
