Men Look Tired.

Clemens Artmeier. of Barmen; Josef
Fischer. of -Rochum; Felix
Lafnpe, of Hanover; Otto Lampe, of
Osnabrueck and b. Hettlage, of Dussel-
torf, all young German business men,
merchants and manufacturers, who are
touring this country, have been in
Washington enjoying the sights, and
incidentaiiy talking about US. We
ought not to complain, for they are i'm
portuned on all sides for opinions On all
sorts of subjects, and if their opinions
are not flattering 1t is not our fault
Mr.. Artmeier. who acted as spokesman
and whose remarks Were assentea to
by the others. had a good many ideas
on all subjects. He said:
No young mans education in Ger
many to-day is regarded as complete
unless he has made thoro tour of the
United States. and has visited those
particular establishments in which he
may be interested. There are a num-
Der of things which we Germans can
learn from Americans, particularly the
practical organization of your business
establishments. Everything works
smoothly. not a minute is lost anywhere;
everything seems to be arranged for
the sole purpose of making money,
eliminating every other feature.
THE American business man appar-
emily has no other object in life than to
HdAc HioiIeyr anu tO MAKE IL as IdSt as
possible. The men. especially, in your
country have such a strained, tired
look"
They have to attend to their house,
hold duties, the children and other
things after they return to their homes
from work." interjected Herr Hettlage
in all seriousness.
ITO be perfectly frank, we have not
seen much as yet in America which we
could apply advantageously in our >es-
Establishments in Germany. One thing
struck me particularly in America, and
that is that the owners of your big
stores. with few exceptions. do not
make big efforts to make their places
attractive for their patrons. There is a
lack of comfort and beauty, and there
s an evidence of primitiveness every
where.
Your streets in the cities we visited
are execrable. Washington is about the
only place so far which has fairly good
streets. In Germany streets like those
of Chicago, st. Louis and Philadelphia
would never be tolerated; so filthy. SO
unclean and insanitary. By nature
America is the land of unlimited pos
sibilities; nature has provided plenti-
fully in every respect, and makes Amer
ica land of plenty; otherwise, how
ever. there is room for much i'm
prOvement."

Presidents Travelling Expenses.

The urgency deficiency bill carries an
appropriation of $4,000 for travelling
expenses of the President of the United
States. and passed the House. There
isn't bit of doubt that it will pass the
Senate. 1t ought to have gone thru on
the general appropriation bill months
ago. 1t was simply piece of penurious
buncOmbe that made anybody in the
House vote against it. The President
of the United States ought to see as
much of the country over which he ex-
ercises the powers vested in him by the
Constitution as 1t Is possible. He ought
not to be forced to do this at his own
expense. There was always a feeling
that the President should not accept
favors from railway or steamship COM
panies, and yet President would have
to be a mighty rich man to go very
much and pay his own way. Then all
chance for special favorS by rail or
steam were cut off by law, leaving the
President at the mercy of stingy Con-
gress. 1t finally voted s25.000 for trav-
cling expenses, but as soon as the sal
airy of the President was raised to $75,-
900 a year the travelling expenses were
left out of the bill, again making i: nee
essary for the President to violate the
law by accepting fayors from corpora
tions which would have been only too
glad to have extended them-or stay al
home. 1t was just exactly like saying
to man, Il will hire you for four years
and pay you $4,000 year. When yo,.
go about the country inspecting my
canals, visiting my new possessions, car
rying messages of unity and peace, OF
in any way representing the honor and
power of my business you must pay
your own travelling expenses" Presi-

fires or transmit other messages in
areas where there is no quick method
of communication.
The conditions of climate and lati-

CLEARS THE COMPLEXION
OVERNIGHT
Pimples, Rash, Eruptions, ETC., Quickly
Eradicated by New Skin Remedy.

Ever since its discovery, poslam, the
new skin remedy, has, in it's extraordi-
nary accomplishments, exceeded the
most sanguine expectations of the emf
nent specialist who gave it to the
world. 1t has cured thousands of cases
of eczema and eradicated facial and
other disfgurements of years stand
ing. The terrible itching attending
eczema is stopped with the first appli-
cation, giving proof of its curative
properties at the very outset.
In less serious skin affections, such
as pimples, rash herpes, blackheads,
acne, BARRIERS itch, etc, results show
after an overnight application, only
small quantity being required to eff
feet a cure. Those who use poslam
for these minor skin troubles should
Immediately secure one of the special
50-cent packages recently adopted to
meet such needs. Both the 5O-cent
package and the regular 81 jar may be

Loose Game, Ten to Four.

For some reason not yet explained
but three of the French Stars showed
up Monday afternoon on the Rcue
Williams Athletic field to play the
Plumbers in accordance with the City
League schedule. The question OF
whether the Plumbers are to b.
awarded forfeit will be decided at
the next meeting of the managers.
AS good sized crowd of spectators
had assembled on the grounds it was
decided to play a seven-inning exhibit
ton game between the Plumbers and
such a team as could be picked up on
the grounds. The exhibition game
which was not an exhibition of much
of anything except ragged ball play
ing was put on. About the only re-
deeming feature Of the game was the
pitching of Morse for the Picked
Team. He was in the box four in
nings but received no support and
Bechard went in to finish the game.
The score by innings:
Plumbers .....4 0 3 x-10-10-3
