rHURsDAY. NOVEMBER Is, 1907.
Government Underpays.

The government service is not so
attractive as formerly. The army
needs men. West Point has more
than a score of vacancies, the jobs
at Washington are not very eagerly
sought any more by those who are
familiar with them. In fact, the
time is at hand, when the govern
nent must seek men instead of be-
ing so particular as it once was.
One may ask why this is. 1t is be-
cause of the inadequacy of the pay.
AS one writer says it is caused 1y
small pay and slow promotions.
Though there are position seek
ers as usual, yet they are fewer, and
the cold facts no longer bear out
the once-prevalent idea that gov
eminent job was a snap. Perhaps,
the work may be easy. but the at
tention required is constant and
steady, and the pay not sufficient to
Justify. the time and EFFORT, nor to
cover actual living expenses, and
Outlines 1t is from hand to mouth
all the time with the army of gov
eminent clerks.
To some extent Congress in recent
years has come to the relief of the
clerks. but, there is more to do in
this respect, else the government
will not have the best and most COM
petent men. for rhe reason that they
can get better pay and lighter hours
in private enterprises.
Army pay is particularly too mad
equate and it is little wonder
there is a scarcity of recruits, nor
can some who have served the period
of their enlistment be blamed for
not continuing in the army. Patri-
otism Is commendable but not unu-
sually so flexible as to assume the
nature of starvation in time of plen-
ty.
Our soldiery should be we'll paid.
and those who do the department
work should not be forced to mig
gardly existence.

TELLS US HOW
TO MAKE MIXTURE
Splendid Remedy for Stomach and
Kidneys and rheumatism

The people here do not drink
enough water to keep healthy" ex-
claimed a well-known authority. The
numerous cases of stomach trouble,
kidney and bladder diseases and
rheumatism are mainly due to the
fact that the drinking of water, ma
lures greatest medicine. has been neg
Iectcd.
Stop loading your system with pat
emit medicines and cure-alls; but get
on the water wagon. If you are
really sick, why, of course, take the
proper medicines-plain common
vegetable treatment. which will not
shatter the nerves or ruin the stom-
ach.
When requested for such n prescrip-
ton for the cure of rheumatism and
kidney trouble the answer was: You
must make the kidneys do their
work: they are the filters of the blood
They must be made to strain out of
the blood the waste matter and acids
that cause rheumatism, the urine must
be neutralized so it viii no longer be
q source of irritation to the bladder,
and, most of all, you must keep these
acids from forming in the stomach.
This Is the cause of stomach trouble
and poor indigestion. For these con-
ditions / would suggest the following
prescription: Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one-half ounce; Compound Knr-
gon. one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla, three ounces. Mix by shal<-
ing well in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime. but don't forget the water.
Drink plenty of water
This valuable information and sim
pie prescription should be posted up
in each household and used at the
first sign OF an attack of rheumatism.

 The rules and regulations which gov erned the city primary two years ago.

 tion of Secretary Smith, With the changing of a few dates to correspond with the coming election.

 fronted the Council was the fact
 brought to their notice that It Will De almost impossible to have lists of the
 registered voters printed for the use of the election officers. City Attorney Mcintyre erendered a verbal opinion to
 the city registrars yesterday, in which
 he holds the charter is mandatory Tn directing that the registration books
 shall be opened on the third Monday
 in March and remain open for twelve
 days. It had been hoped they could
 be opened earlier, but. according to the
 City Attorneys opinion, they must be
 opened no earlier than the third Mon
 day of March, which is March 10. They will close then late Saturday night, March 30, allowing only the intervening
 Sunday for compiling lists of registered
 voters in each ward, and having the
 names printed in proper form. After considerable discussion, the motion of Henry N. Hughes was adop- ted directing President Charles r. Jones, Acting President Joe Abraham and Secretary smith to arrange for the registration lists.
 The name of Campbell Jones to suc- ceed O. c Dibble. resigned, a5 mem
 Der of the body from Ward One, was placed in nomination by Secretary Smith, and he was unanimously cleo ted.
 The resignation of Temple Seibels. as
 member of the Central Council from
 Ward Three was received. read and ac- cepted, and, on motion of Henry Hughes Robert G. Arlington was elected for the vacancy. Mir. Arlington occupied his place on the Council. The motion of Henry Hughes, 1t was decided at this election to give man agers and clerks each B and two
 meals. Heretofore. the officers have
 been receiving $2 and two meals. John Farley moved the names of candidates for the Central Council be printed on the ticket without cost to
 the candidates. The motion was adop- | ted.
 A motion of Carl Roemer was adop- | ted, instructing candidates to furnish
 the Central Cuncil. by its next meeting ! with the names f managers and clerks | for the election
