A Civil Service "Residence" Puzzle.
To the Editor Of The Star:

While only the United States Supreme
Court can decide the matter finally. it
looks on its face as though the Constitu-
tion has been overstepped in the provision
of the new census law providing that no
person shall take a civil service examine
tion hereafter unless actually domiciled
for one year previous to the date of such
examination in the state claimed as his
legal residence
A popularity arises here: for example.

in Pennsylvania. At the age of thirty he

Not a Half-Mil

When you taste your first milk dish made with
Van Camps, you'll be surprised at the richness
and favor
You'll wonder what we have added.
But we add nothing at all
You have been used to half-milk because
milkman's milk separates. The butter fat rises
and the solids fall, before and after you get it.
In Van Camps for the first time you get
whole, rich milk. And you learn what milk
should be.
You'll never be content with mikman's milk
after cooking one dish with Van Camps.

Cheaper Than Raw Milk

Van Camps is as thick as thick cream-so
thick that you add one part water for coffee.
Yet it doesn't cost half what you pay your milk
man for cream
Add two parts water and you have rich milk
The cost of such milk, when you buy Van Camps
by the case, is but six cents per quart.
Then you have no waste-no milk left over
That saving, in itself, is enormous.
So you have cow in your kitchen-rich milk
or cream whenever YOU want it. Yet it costs
less than day-to-day buying
You have pure rich milk for less than you
pay for half-milk laden with germs

REPORTS ON INEBRIATES ACT
INSPECTOR FOR SCOTLAND
MAKES AN EXPLANATION.
Admissions Into Reformatories Again
Show a Decline-Increase
Noted As Regards Retreats.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. July 12.-In his report for
1908 the inspector for Scotland under the
fnebriates act states that the admissions
into reformatories again showed a de-
cline, being only 10. as against AZ in 1907,
while the admissions into retreats num-
bered Is, as against 6S.
AS a means Of reformation of police
court drunkards the Inspector says that
inebriate reformatories must be described
as only very moderately successful. OF
172 such cases whose subsequent history
has been traced only u can be described
as completely reformed-a recovery rate
of rather less than : per cent. On the
other hand, as a means of saving others
from contamination these institutions are
Of great service.
When describing inebriate reforma-
tories as only moderately successful as a
means of curing Drunkenness he con-
tinues. Il in no way desire to imply that
they are useless in that respect.
Reformation q Success.
'"The number of reformations may be
small, but each of them may be accepted
as distinct success, and as the reforma- :
ton or cure of an Individual who by
no other known means would have been
saved from the miseries of the existence
of an habitual police court drunkard
THE treatment of drunkenness by pun
ishment is of undoubted value when the
habit is neither extreme nor of long
standing. More than 90 per cent of first
offenders never come back TO prison, but
the treatment by punishment of the worst
cases OF inebriety. cases in which the
habit is extreme and cf long standing, is
allowed to be failure, and it is to such
cases that these reformatories give a
chance; small chance certainly. but
nevertheless d genuine chance. A recov-
cry rate of from Z to 10 per cent cannot
be disregarded when dealing with cases
insusceptible Of cure by other known
means.

SEA WALL SAVES GALVESTON.
Texan Seaport Weathers Terrible
Tidal Wave and hurricane
Damage Not Very Great.

Galveston. Texas, July 21.-Man S
strength and skill were pitted against
the fury Of the elements to-day and
man won, when the city Of Galveston,
safely entrenched behind her impreg-
nable 17-foot sea wall, withstood,
with comparatively triaing loss,a tidal
wave and huricane equal in intensity
and destructive force to the one
which destroyed the city on Septem-
Der 8, 1900.
In Galveston and vicinity not SIN
gle life is believed to have been sac
rifced but the material loss is thought
to be quite extensive. The hurricane
swept the entire Gulf coast with an
intensity and viciousness that has sell
dom been equalled in country where
destructive storms are not unusual.
Il had its origin on the Atlantic coast
and, swinging westward and south
ward. devastated the entire Gulf coast
even as far South as Matagorda Bay.
That some lives were lost and that
much property was destroyed is the
general belief tonight. The exact loss
is impossible to estimate.
The hurricane struck Galveston
about II o'clock this morning. The
wind, attaining a velocity of nearly
seventy miles an hour, whipped the
treacherous waters of the Mexican
Gulf into a fury Of destruction. With
the pent-up anger of ten years of hate
the waves blindly assaulted the grim
parapets Of stone which man had
builded to restrain its attacks. In vain
it hurled it's thousands Of tons OF
water upon the splendid breastworks.
Only a feeble burst of spray and a
little water reached its objective and
tile beleaguered city lay calm and safe
behind the wall.

Has Wife and Children.
Mr.. Holleman is native Of Wal
halla. and has lived in Anderson
about twenty years.
He has wife and several children.
He has held several responsible pO-
sitions in the city and has been with
the Bank Of Anderson about six years.
He was frugal in his habits, steady
and Industrious, and had always lived
within his income. He was just about
the last man in the city that would
have been suspected Of being short IN
his accounts. The announcement Of
his trouble will be received with the
greatest surprise throughout the city
and county and State. and there will
be the deepest sympathy for him.
He was universally liked. It is not
known here where he has gone and no
statement was made to-day as to what
steps would be taken to apprehend
him. All Of his friends and the bank
directors were too stunned to-day to
map out any course Of action.
In the midst Of the grief over his
downfall about the only comfort is
that the solidity Of the bank was not
impaired in the slightest degree, and,
of course, it does not affect any OF
the banks in the city.
Mr.. Holleman's s popularity is shown
by the fact that several Of his friends
said to-day that, if he had told them
of his trouble, they would have fur
nished the money to cover his short
age and given him new start.

ILLINOIS MAY FOLLOW
OREGON SENATORIAL PLAN

Chicago, July 22.-Plans are being
developed foT a strong fight to effect
the adoption of the oregon plan for
election Of United States senators
when the Illinois legislature meets
next fall to draft a new primary cleo
ton law All over Illinois there is a
conviction that steps must be taken
to prevent a repetition of the sena-
torial deadlock which demoralized the
legislature last session.
While a revision of the national
constitution is necessary to obtain
direct popular election of senator's,
the Oregon play may be adopted by
Illinois and put into effect at once,
without any constitutional tinkering.
The politicians are beginning to real
ize that the voters having known the
benefits of direct nomination of par
ty candidates. will not consent to re-
turn to the old caucus and convention
system.
Among those supporting the move
ment here are: George NJ. Reynolds,
president Continental National bank;
John p. McGoorty, former member of
the legislature; George f. Hooker,
secretary City club; Anton Cormak,
state representative; Louis NJ. Gree
ley, professor of law Northwestern
university.
