Monroe Star: The fact remains that the
Governor still retains the power of ap-
pointment to several hundred positions
five hundred, it is roughly calculated
many of them places of profit or of great
and even extraordinary power, giving the
holders authority to levy taxes, to bond
and mortgage private property, although
the people have no part in their selection.
The recent tendency towards the creation
of Boards and Commissions of almost
arbitrary power is responsible for the sur
vival of this centralized system. 1t is
quite evident, therefore, that the work of
decentralization and return to Democ-
racy, so auspiciously begun, has not yet
been completed, and that there are still
many appointive positions which ought to
be made elective, if we hold that all officials
should be directly responsible to the voters,
the basic principle of true Democracy.

Importance of Good Clothes.

From the Hglenf of Adams time to the dress clothes of the present day is q pretty far cry. but that difference Is not one whit greater than that between the position which clothes occupy in social and business circles today and the com paratfvely ignominfous part which they played fin the days of long ago. Even a cen tury back good dressing was confined to small number of "Beau Brummels''- the grent majority of men did not pre- tend to dress either neatly or well Mod erD methods have changed all that. To dny man judges and is judged by his clothes to a greater extent than has ever been the case before.
 It is not sufficient for the social leader and commercial nagnate to be we'll dressed. Good clothes are just as essen tial for the young business man striving to make his way fin the world. His striv- ing Is just as hard as ever 1t was more so. If anything. but however stren- uous be his efforts, they must be made carefully, with an eye to the preserving of his apparel. that he may be always presentable md abie to meet his fellow men with a certain feeling of equality a feeling which must always be lacking in the poorly dressed.
 With some men the art of good dress ing seems to be instinctive- they know what becomes them, what to choose. what to avoid. Other men depend upon their tailors and their haberdnshers Some are initiative, with doubtful sue cess, and some depend upon a woman's knowledge of what to wear.
 But good clothes, properly worn, are not everything. There is n mans linen. his boots and his boot laces. his gloves. his hat. the style of his collar. the color and shape of his tie. the condition of his face and hands. visible things, all of

"1 should call yours a moderately soft pulse said the doctor. The man hardly knew what was meant As q matter of fact. a soft pulse In a middle-aged man Is favorable factor. As old age comes on It is the tendency of the arteries. or tubes through which the blood flows from the teart to become hard. Chalk is de posted in the walls of the arteries until by and by it Is n mass of chalk. When the pulse is so hard that you can feel the artery all the time between the beats. that means that the mans tissues are growing old. The proper way is for the arteries to be strong and vigorous and elastic, soft to the touch. One of the strong arguments for the use of distilled water and for the use of very moderate amount of meat. especially by old peokle. is that flesh diet leads to the hardening of the arteries while the wonderfully solvent qualities of distilled water are thought to do much to remove chalky de posits after they are formed, especially if the diet is regulated.
 Too Much Mcat-Eating-Too much meat-eatiDg Is responsible for the forma- ton of uric acid in disease-producing quantities. To dispose of meat satisfac- torily requires active gastric digestion. a constitution in which fluids are abundant. the organs small and actively engaged in growth and development. Such conditions usually cease to obtain after adult life is reached, and food is required. chiefly. which will supply energy, heat, vital stimulus. The construction of the human machine being completed, the principal need is fuel to run it. A small amount of meat. or rather albuminous food, will suffice to repair actual tissue waste in most instances. adds a medical contempo- rary. Particularly is this true of torpid systems. Imperfectly digested meats are not readily oxidized and eliminated, but finger and accumulate in the system in the form of uric acid. A patient should be allowed meat but once a day, should eat fresh fruits. especially apples, in abundance. Baked bananas and well done rice are acceptable substitutes for meat. In collapse of the stomach, due to sudden changes in the dietary, meat broths will help the patient adjust him self to the new conditions. Pure honey Is good for uric acid patients.

them. to be taken Into account. And of invisible things there Is a mans under wear. and, to certain extent, hIs shirt and his hose. Not one of these many items should be overlooked or dIsregarded by the man who would, in his own es- teem, of his acquaintanees- and friends. deserve the encomium of being q we'll dressed, well-groomed man.
 The wearing of q collar may seem a simple thing, but 1t Is a matter that can be regarded too lightly. Height should be the first consideration, and the height must depend somewhat upon the build of the wearer. Neckwear should be chosen with particular reference to the suit with which 1t is to be worn. Not every man Is aware of the effect which may be created by the form of his col lar or craYat. stout hen who want to look slim should wear high collars and closed ones and narrow ties. Any collar that opens In front makes one look stout CT In nearly every case. Such collars are more becoming to thin men. The fiat man should avoid tie that has hori- zontal effect. Such q tie will add pounds to his appearance-in his face. at least. On the other hand, this cross effect will add to the thin han an appearance Of weight.
 So It Is with hats. No matter whether or not 1t should happen to be the fashion of the moment q nian of small head and delicate features cannot possibly look well In a large. heavy hat with full crown and broad. curling brim; nor can q man of large head and strong build look well in a small, light. low-crowned. narrow brimmed shape. One head may require a distinctly dipped brim, another just the reverse. one more or less square or fat-top crown, another with a crown well rounded.

Hints for Health.

How to Live LonE-Miss Agnes Weston. the sailors friend. has given q recipe in Good Health for the attainment of long life. Its simplicity places IL within the range of everyone It Is sim. ply this: Hard work and plenty of it. Yes, and q sufficient amount of sleep. with an open bedroom window Sleep quite eight hours and sometimes a little more. By using reasonable care and avoiding undue strain it is wonderful how much work you can get out of yourself Keep on with what you have begun in life and never retire.
 Damp ROoms-TO ascertain whether or not q room Is damp. abont couple of pounds of fresh lime should be placed therein after dramatically closing doors and windows. In twenty-four hours it should be weighed, and If the lime has absorbed more than about per cent. of water, the room should be considered camp. and cIassed as unhealthy. The question of dampness of dwellings is a frequent cause of disTnte between land lord and tenant. and is naturally solved in the negative by the former. The ques- ton can be settled in the future by the test of the hyd-ation of lime, which will give irrefutable proof of the validity of such complsint.
 Exercises for SIeeplessness-In Hellth C7ltnre Dr. Latson mentions cer- tain bed exercises to those suffering from insomnia. Here Is one: Lying fat on the back, raise the arms and extend them on a level with the body. straight out beyond the head. Now simply take a full breath ard stretch, easily and com fortably. as thougn trying to make the entire body longer. After few moments of gentle stretching. let the breath out and relax the muscles. This may be done three Or four times. Another is the fol lowing: Lying on the back, legs together and arms at the side, simply stretch out first one leg and then the other. Each leg should be extended from eight to twelve times.
 Soft and Hard Pulse-Some time ago physician was examining q middle aged man for life insurance. A table was furnished on which 1t was necessary for him to put down the replies. There was question as to the character of the pulse.

Our Exhibit at the Japanese Exposition

For several reasons the United States can afford to be liberal, and cannot afford to be otherwise, in its appropriation for the Japanese international exhibition. The original plan in Congress involved a mod est appropriation of S2OO.0OO or S25O. GOO. After considering the Senate passed bill providing for an expenditure of S3jO. 900. The House proposed S5OO,0O0. and pres sure was exerted to extract even more.
 The House finally approved an appro- priation of S1.5O0.OO0. a far more fit ting allowance. Japan has been gener- ous in its appropriations for expositions in this country and it's displays at va
 riOus fairs have added much to the inter est of the visitors. The Japanese ex. hibit at Chicago in 1893 was excellent. and the display at St. Louis in 1904 was elaborate. II will doubtless be helpful

Such a house is better adapt ed to short lot, and it gives each fam Fly the advantage of a separate house, being built with q center division wall.
