still prefers to descend and to climb
with his own power. He trips down
the long flight of steps, which are
quite a story high, and he also runs
up those self same steps, when his talk
with the President is ended. And he
not only climbs up the outside steps
but he goes up another flight of steps
inside, as the offices of the Secretaries
OF State, of War and of the Navy are
all on the second floor of the joint
department building.
The morning visit a. the White
House sometimes lasts ten minutes and
II o'clock the Secretary is generally
back at his desk again. 1t is almost a
certainty that before another hour has
gone by he will be over in the Execu-
tive offices again Three days out Of
four he is back there again before the
President departs for luncheon, which
is about p. M, and occasionally tie

turned for a brief turn of work before
he goes out into the country for a
horseback ride or plays game of ten
mis- on the court at the rear of the
White House.
Late in the afternoon, when the
President has his play hour, the Sec
rotary, too is likely to find a little
time for leisure. But cordially as the
two men like each other, they do not
play together. The President occa-
sionally asks one of his cabinet off,
GERS, particularly Secretary Root, to
go horseback riding with him. Secre-
| tary Taft frequently goes for canter
in the country and has a specially Sc
tlected swayback horse from the South
west to carry him. But the Secretary
does not ride hard enough or fast
enough to suit the President. SO the
Secretary's most frequent riding COM
panion is Gen. Edwards, chief of the
Insular Bureau, who travelled around
/ the world with him last year and some
people think will be made chief of staff
of the army some day if Secretary
/ Taft becomes President. The Secre-
tary does not play tennis; is probably
! too heavy to play the game much any
way, and so does not have an invita-
ton to the White House court as do
Secretary of the Interior Garfield and
Postmaster General Meyer. The Secre-
tary is a pretty good walker and can
cover a lot of ground Tor one who
weighs close to 800 pounds and is not
more than five feet ten inches tall. But
he is not enough Of sprinter to go on
the long. tiresome walks the President
takes and therefore it is that the Presi~
dent and the Secretary are rarely
found together during the afternoon
play hours.
The Secretary, however, can take as
many daily doses Of hard work as can
President Roosevelt. The President
almost invariably works at the White
House evenings after dinner. Secre-
tary Taft likewise Their habits Of
industry when the lights have been
turned up are very much the same.

Be a Top-Notcher.

Why not be a top-notcher? A
top-notcher is simply an individ-
ual who works for the institution
Of which he is a part, not against
it,
He does not wear rubber boots
and stand on glass when he gets
orders from the boss. He is ii
good conductor. and thru him
plays the policy of the house.
The interests Of the house are his
he is the business and he never
separates himself from the concern
swabbing the creased shute, by
knocking on the place or manage
ment.
A top-notcher never say inward
ly. or outwardly. II wasn't hired
to do that nor does he figure to
work exactly eight hours. and wear
the face off the clock.
He works until the work is done
and does not leave his desk look
ing like a map of San Francisco
after the shake-up.
AS It general proposition, I
would say that top-notchers and
cigarettists are different persons.
A top-notcher prizes his health
more than a good time. Sore
heads and beIliakers are usually
suffering from overeating, lack Of
oxygen and loss Of sleep.
If you want to be a top-notcher
beware of the poker proclivity and
pool room habit-otherwise destiny
has you on the list.-Albert Hub
bard.

MANY WILL BE
HELPED BY IT
How to Prepare Simple Mixture to
Overcome Disease.

To relieve the worst forms of
Rheumatism, take a teaspoonful
of the following mixture after each
meal and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla, three ounces.
These harmless ingredients can
be obtained from our home drug
gists, and are easily mixed by
shaking them we'll in a bottle.
Relief is generally felt from the
first few doses.
This prescription, says a we'll
known authority in a Cleveland
morning PAPER, forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood the poison
Gus waste matter and uric acid,
which causes rheumatism.
As Rheumatism is not only the
most painful and torturous disease.
but dangerous to life, this simple
recipe will no doubt be greatly
valued by many sufferers here at
home, who should at once prepare
the mixture to get this relief.
It is said that a person who
would take this prescription regu-
larly, a dose or two daily, or even
a few times a week, would eve
have serious Kidney or Urinary
disorders or Rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it.
Good Rheumatism prescriptions
which really relieve are scarce,
indeed, and when you need it, you
want it badly. Our druggists here
say they will either supply these
ingredients or make the mixture
ready to take, if any Of our readers
so prefer.
