SYSTEM is ABSURD.
StilIings Work in Government Print
ing Office Undone.

Washington, Feb. l5.-President
Roosevelt today approved an order re-
ducing the price of composition to be
charged by the government printing
office from $1.20 to so cents an hour for
hand composition. and from $3.50 an
hour to so cents per thousand ems for
machine composition. The order was
recommended by William 5. ROssiteT,
who is conducting an Investigation Of
the printing office as the presidents
personal representative. In support of
the recommendation, Mr.. Rossiter in
dulges in some criticism of the new
cost accounting system in operation in
the printing Office. The system, he
says, is made almost absurd by the
fact that the estimate clerks make their
estimates by fixed units as TO the cost
of work, while the bill clerk renders
his bills for work on the basis of its
actual cost, based on the system Of re-
ports.
The prices which were reduced to-
day, were raised in November last
from practically the same figure which
has been restored.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.

Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a drug
at all but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present in the stom-

of the system.

smoking drinking or after eating onions
and other OdOrOus vegetables
