LITTLE BABY
HORRIBLY BURNED
BY Boiling Grease-Skin All Came
off One Side of Face and Head
Tried an Ointment which Made 1t
All Fester-Wee Sufferer Seemed
Disfgured for Life.
CURED WITHOUT A
MARK BY CUTICURA

About year and eight months ago
my baby, aged ten months, was sitting
on the mat beside the fender and we were
preparing the breakfast when the frying
pan full of boiling grease was upset and
it went all over one side of the baby's
face and head. One of the family ran
and wiped the scald with a towel and
you may think what a mess she made,
pulling the entire skin off. We took her
to chemist who told us to get doctor,
which W did. He tended her a week
and gave me some stuff like lard to put
on. But it all festered and 1 thought
the baby was disfigured for life. A
woman close beside me told me to try
Cuticura Ointment. / used about three
boxes and it was wonderful howl healed.
In about five weeks it was better and
there wasn't a mark to tell where the
scald had been. People used to ask me
if that was the baby that was scalded
and they would hardly believe me when
told them she was and what cured her
face. Her skin is just like velvet and 1
have never been without Cuticura since.
Cuticura cured three other children of
ringworm besides, SO have good cause
to thank it for what it has done. Mrs.

Washington. OF the forty clerks in
the offices here, 81 of them are married
and have families. The rest of them
are said to be on the verge of matri-
mony and Topeka girls are the lucky
draws" Topeka has furnished enough
material to Washington society with
out sending the whole pension bureau.
Clerks Prefer Topeka.
Wilbur s. MetcaIf, the pension
agent of the Topeka district, has sent
letters to all of the clerks of Topeka
asking them if they would go to Wash
ington if the office was recommended
for removal by congress. Without an
exception all of the clerks responded
that Topeka was their choice and if it
came to a draw between Topeka and
Washington they would pick Topeka
without the least hesitation. 1t is
going to be a hard pull to remove the
Topeka office, but when it comes to
orders from headquarters everybody
has to resign to the inevitable.
The idea of the government-or
rather the secretary of the interior
and pension. commissioners that a
combination of all the pension agen-
cieS in Washington would reduce the
expenses of the department in main
tenance. All of the eighteen agencies
in the United States would be joined
in one big institution at the capital
and in this manner it is thought that
the work could be carried on much
cheaper and more economically To-
peka especially, is the aim of the gov
eminent. The Topeka agency is the
largest of all the eighteen agencies
lover the United States. This agency
Includes Colorado, Kansas, Missouri,
New Mexico, Indian Territory and
oklahoma. The payroll of the To-
peka agency among the clerks
amounts to about $4,000 annually
and there is not a clerk in the office
getting under $500 a year-and there
are but very few getting this
amount. Thus it can be seen that the
Topeka agency would be a great adj
dition to Washington in itself.
MetcaIf Isn't Worried.
In an interview with the State
Journal reporter this morning Mr..
Metcalf was not as worried about the
removal as his clerks. However, he
said that this has been the second
time that such a bill went through
the house and it was supported by a
stronger delegation this year. When
asked if he preferred Topeka to
Washington he was very enthusiastic
in answering in the affirmative. He
gave it as his personal opinion that it
separated as they were than to be
Joined at the capital.
cit costs lots more to live in
Washington than to live in Topeka, -
said Mr.. MetcaIf, fand I do not think
the government could afford to pay
the salaries that the clerks would de-
mand. Men can live on much smaller
salaries in Topeka and be satisfied.

demand more in the capital city and
still be dissatisfied on account of the

STRAW VOTE ONLY
Senate Committee Hasn't Acted
ON Pension Agencies.
Reported Consolidation Bill Had
Been Killed.
CLERKS ARE WORRIED
Feared That Measure Will Yet
Be Adopted.
Nearly All Own Their Homes in
Topeka.
CLERKS ARE WORRIED

The report spread few days ago
that the senate at Washington had
turned down the house bill to move all
of the pension agencies to Washington
is untrue. The committee to the senate
took straw vote" on the matter and
it has not been presented in formal
form before the United States senate.
More than this the rumor that all of
the agencies will be centered at the
capitol is widening and today at the
Topeka agency in the federal building
the expectation of a move to Washing
ton is stronger than ever 1t has taken
on such a serious form that through the
influence of many pension officials and
friends Representative Judge J. Jay
Buck has introduced a resolution in the
legislature asking that the Kansas
delegation in Washington do all in their
power to retain the agency at Topeka
1t means much to Kansas to nave
this immense pension agency in the
state. There are about 10000 pension
ers on the rolls of this agency and al
most 100000 is disbursed annually
to the survivors of American wars. and
mothers widows and children of ex-
soldiers. There are 40 clerks and Of
ficers employed at the Topeka office
and they occupy the second floor Of the
building-even now they are crowded
and could fill much more room. But
this is not all-twenty of the clerks in
the Topeka agency own their own
homes in Topeka and some of them
are the most beautiful residences in the
city The clerks are really in a class
by themselves, being conservative,
manly class of men-men who are
among the most prominent in the city
and fhen who are at the head of a
large number of the organizations of
Topeka. They have always taken part
in the affairs of the city and it would
be not only a loss of quantity but
quality to have these men removed to

immense increase in expense both nee
essary and unnecessary. The
offices in New York city and
Chicago can be run much more
even in these larger cities the clerks
are not called upon to part with such
large portion of their salary"
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Metcalf that
kind will be made this year by con-
gress but he thinks the change is just
as liable to help Topeka as harm her.
There is a proposition before the de-
partment to cut down the number of
agencies and double them up at the
larger offices, this being for the pur-
pose of cutting down expenses. In this
case Topeka would undoubtedly pull in
through the states of Nebraska and
Iowa. This would necessitate an in
crease in the number of clerks and
would naturally mean an addition to
the present federal building in this city.
But it is as probable for the office to
be taken away as it is for the propos-
ed addition and no one knows of the
outcome.
Need Something to Do.
There is another reason that seems
to be behind the Washington change. 1t
is well known over the country that in
Washington the pension bureau is get
ting out of work. The big work in the
pension department in that city is to
pass judgment on applications for PEN
sions. Now, the applications for pen
sions are gradually decreasing and al
though they will never end it is very
probable that they will drop to a low
ebb and this means a bunch of surplus
clerks and officials in Washington. II
the outside agencies were moved to the
capital city these clerks could jump
right into new positions and the west
ern clerks would be left in the cold
with nothing but a civil service regu-
lation pass to their credit. If the To-
peka agency was moved to Washington
it would be necessary for the local
again-but their efficiency practically
assures them their places and the bur-
den would naturally fall upon clerks Of
the smaller offices.
There is a wave of uneasiness sweep
ing over the clerks at the federal build
ing today and there will continue to
be this same wave until the last report
comes from the senate. Topeka looks
too good to the average government
employees and the average government
employee looks too good to Topeka ~
withstand any change. Topeka is salts
fed, the pension clerks are satisfied and
Mr.. Metcalf is satisfied with the con-
ditions at the present time. When the
head officials at Washington realize
that combination of pension agencies
would increase their expenses and
cause them a never ending trouble in
satisfying the pensioners and the PEN
sion employees they will send the joy
full news to Topeka that all is well and
to keep the good work going. But until
then there is going to be a bunch of
wavering pen wielders in Topeka.
