When the trainers of the constitution
decided that population should be the
basis of representation in the lower
house Of Congress, provision for sys-
tematic national enumeration of the
people of the country became neces-
sity. The constitution ordered that this
enumeration should be made within
three years after the first meeting of
the first Congress and within every sub
sequent term of ten years, in such
manner as Congress should direct. Po-
utical necessity thus forced upon the
new republic the first national census
of modern times.
Among the ancient peoples it is re-
corded that Moses numbered the tribes
In the wilderness and that Satan pro-
voked David TO number Israel Tho

where, long before the Christian era.
citizens and their property were regis
tered for the purposes of taxation. In
England, William the Conqueror, to
make more certain the collection of his
revenues, ordered great survey of his
new kingdom, the results of which were
embodied in the "Domesday Book" But
the census of the United States,
taken in 1870, was the first of mod
ern times. The results of the enumera-
tion were transmitted to Congress by
President Washingtt O Oct. %, 1871, in
small report containing fifty-six print
ed pages. 1t showed population Of
8929,214. 1t cost the government S44,-
81 to learn that, with one representa-
tive for every $4,000 people, its lower
house would be composed of 105 legis-
tators.
AS early as 1910 an attempt to in
clude in the census information per-
taining to the manufactures of the
country was made, though it met with
little success. The act of 1850. which
gave the census work to the newly
created Department of the Interior and
a census board composed of the Secre-
tary of State, Attorney General and
Postmaster General, increased the sub
iects of inquiry to include mines, man
ufactures and agriculture.
With each succeeding decade, writes
II. B. Chamberlain in the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald, the scope of inquiry was
enlarged until the mass of information
gathered became too large to handle
and was out of date before it became

Things to Know About Cakes.
To bake cake nicely the heat should
be uniform throughout the whole time
of baking, else a soggy streak will be
found in the cake. For light, thin
cakes a quick oven is required, and
for dark cakes, with fruit, slow
oven with even heat. Avoid as much
as possible the moving Of cake after
it begins to rise, as the motion may
cause the escape of gas, leaving the
cake heavy. Pans should always be
well creased with good, sweet lard.

requires buttered piece of white pa

whom the Sultan misused when he de-

the surrounding province. In any event,
1t is true, at least, that he cares moth

his position. Such ransoms as he has

Perpetual Youth,

The elixir of youth lies in the mind
or nowhere You cannot be young by
trying to appear so, by dressing youth
fully. You must first get rid of the
last vestige of thought, of belief, that
you are aging. AS long as that Is in
mind, cosmetics and youthful dress will
amount to very little in changing your
appearance. The conviction must first
be changed; the thought which has pro-
duced the aging condition must he rr-
versed.
If we can only establish the perpet-
ual youth mental attitude. so that we
feel young, we have won half the bat
tie against old age Be sure of this
that whatever you feel regarding your
age will ne expressed in you. body.
1t is a great aid to the porpetuation
of youth to learn to feel young, how.
ever long we may have lived, because
the body expresses habitual feeling,
habltual thought. Nothing in the world
will make us look young as long as
we are convinced that we are aging.
Nothing else more effectually retards
age than keeping in mind the bright,
cheerful, optimistic, hopeful, buoyant
picture of youth in all It's splendor
maguflcence; the alluring picture of
th glories which belong to youth
youthful dreams, ideals, hopes and all
the qualities which belong to young
life.
One great trouble with us is that
our imaginations age prematurely. The
hard, exacting conditions of our mod
ern, strenuous life tend to harden and
dry up the brain and nerve cells, and
thus seriously injure the power of the
Imagination, which should be kept
fl esh, buoyant, elastic.-Orlson SWEET
Marden, in Success Magazine.

The twelfth census was taken under
the act Of March 3, 1899, under which
the director of the census, w. X. Mer-
riam, was given entire control of the
work. When he took charge of the
work all that he inherited from the
eleventh census was a typewriter, &
horse, a wagon, a cart and some scat.
tered papers and records His was the
first census staff to be given a building
of its own. His pleadings for the pres
ervation of the plant which his work
necessitated undoubtedly helped the
passage Of the act of 1902, establishing
the census bureau as Il permanent part
of the governmental organization. A
later act, approved Feb. !, 1903, trans
ferred the census Office from the DE.
partment of the Interior to the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. July l.,
1908, by order OF Die secretary of the
latter department, the name "Burear
of the Census was adopted.
The bureau Of the census is charged
with the duty of taking the decennial
censuses, of collecting such special sta.
tistics as Congress requires, including
the collection in 1905 of the statistics
of manufacturing establishments con.
Quoted under the factory system, and
the annual collection Of birth and death
statistics, statistics of cotton production
and cotton consumption, and statistics
of cities of 10000 or more inhabitants.
Great Britain and France were the
first European countries to follow the
example of he United States. Each
took its first ensus in 1901. In many
of the European countries they have
a One-day enumeration. In Great Brit
ain and Wales schedules are left in
each house Saturday evening and are
called for Monday morning. The coun-
try is divided into permanent districts
for the purpose of registering births
and deaths and the registrar general Is
the census superintendent. In Ireland
the royal Irish constabulary and the
Dublin metropolitan police are the
agents for distributing and collecting
the schedules. In Germany the count
covers the period between sunrise and
sunset and the police are utilized as
in Ireland. In Russia the count be-
gins at midnight. The British govern
ment makes provision for the cost of
the census taking, but in France and
other European countries the expense
is borne by the municipality.

months, and then at the rate of four
million dollars per month. In Feb
ruary, 1868, Congress suspended the
Act of 1866. By that time, "A million
dollars of the greenbacks had already
been burned up. When the panic of
1873 came on, there was a popular
demand for more money, and the gov
eminent issued 26 million dollars of
greenbacks to take the place of those
that had been destroyed. This new
issue of treasury notes brought up
the amount of outstanding green
backs, and other treasury notes, to
1872 million. In 1875, Congress pro-
vided that the amount of these notes
be reduced to 800 million. Then the
process Of burning up the paper
money began again, but in 1878
President Grant put stop to it. Con-
gress, in May of that year, required
that all notes redeemed at the treas
ury be reinstated and put in circula-
ton. The amount which was then
left outstanding was 346,681, 900
dollars. But Congress has never re-
pealed the Acts of 1923, which were
mandatory and which required that
$50 millions of Treasury notes be is
sued; therefore, the government
could, at any moment, issue in green
backs the difference between the
amount now outstanding and that
which was authorized by the Acts of
1923. This amount, as you will
readily see, is more than 100 million
dollars.
