Signs of Activity.

The House committee on expenditures in
the Agricultural Department showed signs
today of an unwonted activity. On the
floor the other day Representative Little
field of Maine who is chairman of this
committee. was talking of the increase OF
expenditures in the various departments
and OF the creation of unnecessary posi-
lions and the payment OF high salaries and
that sort of thing. Various members OF
the House were prompt TO call Mr.. Little
fields attention TO the fact that he was
chairman of the committee on expenditures
In the Agricultural Department and to ask
him If his committee had held q meeting
In the last four years, and other imperti-
nent queries OF like nature. Mr.. Little
field replied good-naturedly TO all these as
saults, but he evidently took them TO heart,
for today he asked unanimous consent that
his committee be permitted to have done
certain printing and binding.

BUREAU OF NAVIGATION.

The next important appointment in the
navy is that of chief of the bureau of nav
igation, which office Is to be vacated In
few weeks by the statutory retirement of
Rear Admiral G. A. Converse This office
is analogous to that of the military secre-
tary of the army. and as 1t has to do with
the affairs Of the personnel and the move
ments of warships. the prospective detail
is a matter of more than ordinary interest
to the service generally.
Among the officers most talked about in
connection with the appointment are Rear
Admiral W. s. Cowles, the Presidents
brotAer-in-law, now chief OF the bureau OF
equipment. and formerly assistant chief of
the bureau of navigation; Capt. Richardson
Clover, formerly chief intelligence officer, ard

navigation and now chief of staff of Rear
Admiral Evans, commanding the Atlantic
fleet: Capt William J. Barnette, on duty
in this city a member of the general

bureau to considerable extent of late by
reason of the frequent absence of Admiral

School Children's Health
FROM the New York World.

Erom the New York World.
Proper attention to the health of chill
dren Is an excellent civic investment. A
great part OF the diseases which develop
as chronic In after life could be obviated
by closer medical supervision or children's
health. Especially defects In hearing, eye
sight or teeth can be checked in early life.
while in later years they become too con
firmed TO yield to treatment.
The investigations OF the board Of educa-
lion have shown that a majority of the
school children have either defective eve
sight or tendency TO bad vision 1t is
now proposed 10 examine the school chill
drens teeth also This experiment has
been tried In Germany. where attention TO
the teeth has improved the eyesight and
the hearing by improving the digestion of
the children treated
1T is as necessary for a child to have
sound senses and good bodily health as
mental development In the majority of
the occupations at which the present
school children of New York will in future
years earn their livelihood sound health
and good physique will be of more
value than education frills.

DIME NOVEL READING.
Two Boys Arrested for Alleged Horse

Having read stories of horse stealing and
exciting life on the frontier, Edward White
and Paul Clement, each fifteen years Of
age, decided to enjoy taste of such ex-
element yesterday and took two horses
from stable In Southeast Washington
and rode them to Alexandria. Arriving in
the latter city they proceeded to the livery
stable Of z. I. Harrington on North Wash

sale. Mr.. Harrington was satisfied that
all was not right, he called upon the
police to assist him in making an invesIiga-
ton. The result was that the boys We're

The horses referred to belong to George A.
Griswold and Bernard Rosenthal.
When they stopped at the stable of Mr..
Harrington the boys were anxious to dis
pose of the animals for $40 each. Dest,inS
to detain the boys at the stable for short
time, Mr.. Harrington told them he Eodld
buy for a smaller price. 1t was finally
agreed that 81 should be paid for each
horse The lads were surprised to find
that they were under arrest just about the
time they thought they were to receive the
money. Policemen Roberts and Smith
placed them under arrest the officers hav-
ing been summoned by telephone.

petite. which will be satisfied with plain
bread and butter.
2. Chew all solid food until It is liquid
and practically swallows itself
3. Sip and taste all liquids that have taste.
such as soups and lemonade. Water has no
taste. and can be swallowed Immediately.
4. Never take food while angry or wor-
ried and only when calm. Waiting for the
mood In connection with the appetite is q
speedy cure for both anger and worry.

USE OF SLATE BY ANc1ENrs.
Introduced Into Schools as Writing
Table at Very Early Period.
From the London Globe

Nfoib the LONDON GLOBE.
1t is not easy to tell exactly for how
long period states have been used by
school boys; but they were used as writ
ing tablets as far back as the middle ages,
and probably. therefore. they were intro
duced into the schools of Europe at very
early period in the history of education in
this part Of the world
And. indeed, 1t would be hard to find a
more suitable substance for the purpose
than the easily faxed stone which yields a
smooth surface with a minimum of trou-
bic on the part of the workman The an
clients, as we know, frequently employed
waXen tablets for the purpose of writing
letters or making calculations which were
not intended to be permanent. and could
easily be erased or smeared out of all rec
ognitfon with the finger. Diligent house
Keepers and clandestipe lovers found these
means of reckoning or communication
equally Indispensable, while, for the man
of letters, whether orator or lyric poet, the
tablets on which were iotted down the
heads of great speech or passionate
stanza to some fair lady were almost as
necessary as pockets (of which the ancient
world knew nothing) to the modern man
or boy.

enough to stand the shock. 1t is not sur

once introduced into school and domestic
life, soon became popular.

eight centuries at least. Thing. which still

of 1900 the winning candidate for Romford
returned his expenses at Ell 1925, and his de-
feated opponents bill was even larger 1t
amounted to G2, 1873.
The lowest cost per vote recorded at the
last general election was about q shilling.
Keir Hardies expenses at Merthyr Tydyil
did not exceed that average, and Mr.. La
bouchere's at Northampton Were about the
same.
Even where there Is no contest this does
not mean that the unopposed candidate
gets off scot free. His expenses amount to
from &2 to G400. Take Dulwich for in
stance, where In 1900 there was no fight.
Yet the expenses were ESQ., including a bill
of over e2o0 for printing, advertising and
the like, and the returning officers charge
of E67.
There Is no doubt that parliamentary cleo
ton expenses, though now strictly limited
by law, are far higher than they need be,
or than In justice to the candidates they
should be- For instance, ballot papers are
still printed at a cost of 30s. per thousand,
exactly as though the old Caxton press was
still being employed for the purpose.

wish to control the movements Of automo-

those of the other cities. The automobilists
complain particularly of the Imprisonment

Looking Forward With Hope.

From the Boston Transcript.
There Is more trouble ahead for the auto
mobilists. In five years or Whereabouts the
question of fuel may become for them a
very serious one. Gasoline, for which there
has been such remarkable demand in the
last ten years, is much higher in price than
1t was when the demand began, but that
isn't the worst feature of the case. In q
few years there may be no gasoline or there
will be so little of 1t in proportion to the
amount wanted that the price will be pro-
hibitive. Alcohol, it is suggested, may come
to the rescue, but in order to get II at as
low a figure as we now get gasoline 1t will
be necessary for many persons to change
their minds The internal revenue tax on
spirits must be taken off II alcohol is to
be pur on the list of automobile fuels. And

Suggestions In Consumption.
rom the Medical Record

L. Barkan points out the necessity for
paying more attention to matters of hygiene
and sanitation in planning the establish
ment of cities and towns, systems OF
water works and sewerage, health resorts,
etc. There is also room for improvement
In domestic and personal hygiene. and the
author suggests the use of match boxes
lined with paper for the reception Of
sputun, and the substitution of Chinese
paper or newspaper in place of the hand
kerchief for receiving the nasal seeretions.
Roof sanatoria for one or more tubercu-
lous patients are advocated and details OF
their installation are described. Much bene-
fit is said to accrue to convalescent con-
sumptives by employing system of bed
calisthenics. which are also of value in
other conditions, such as neurasthenia
rheumatism, govt, diabetes. ETC. The ALL
thor calls attention to the value of per-
nanganate of potassium in the treatment
of tuberculosis. and says that by It's means
he has been able to cure thirty-one cases
out of thirty-seven.
