Government Printing office scandal.

President Roosevelt does not temporize
with dereIiction in public Office. This is
one of the finest phases Of his administra-
tion. He has given no better example of
Il than in his prompt, not TO say sum

Here was AN official whom the Presi-
dent, through stress and turmoil, trusted
and supported nwayeriagiy under the
belief that outcrios against him were
prompted by the unpleasant and unp0pU-
lar duties he was set TO perform; but
finally confronted with damaging facts
pointing almost conelusively 10 official

dent lost no time in displacing him.
This displacement comes none too soon.

alton as told by people who had be-

human stomach.
Cooper believes that the human
stomach in civilized races has become
greatly weakened. He claims that
most Ill health of the present genera

Is as follows:
ID. T. Cooper is meeting with the

days many thousands of Pittsburg
people have called at his headquarters

Cooper's prophecy, made upon his
arrival, to the effect that before he left
Pittsburg thousands would realize
that his theory is correct and would
come and thank him for what his
medicine had done, is rapidly being
borne out.

Lillian Russell, in a new racing

The play takes its title from a race
horse, Wildfre, left to the heroine by
her late husband. For various rea-
sons, important among which is the
engagement of her sister to the son
of a reformer, she must not let ii be
known that she is the owner of a
racing stable, and from this ensues
the complications. With the help of
a trainer she gains a new fortune.
All of her winnings are staked on

There's vigor in a cold bath.
But not all can endure a cold bath.
The cold plunge is especially dras

The cold sponge is too severe foi
some persons.
Warm baths are best taken just
before retiring.
The cold sponge in the morning
and the warm dip at night suits

The hot bath should not be taken
oftener than once a week, as 1t Is

Every bath should be taken in a
