Taft Battles the Secret Service Men

ing any announcement of his inten-
tons, he left the White House and
started out for a walk. Generally he
has been accompanied by some cabi-
net official, but none of Wilkes men
was along.
On his last walk the president was
accompanied by his brother, Charles
p. Taft, the millionaire Cincinnatian.
They walked up to the capitol and
strolled through its wide halls.
So far as runs the memory of Alon-
20 Stewart, deputy sergeant at arms
of the senate, and that is a full gen
Grafton, it was the first time that a
president has visited the capitol on
the Sabbath day.
On another occasion the president
walked through Pennsylvania avenue.
Washington's most prominent bust
ness street. He was wearing a sack
coat and a gray sweater.
That looks like President Taft" re-
marked one man as President Taft
passed the five-cent theaters on the
avenue. Brig. Gen. Clarence Edwards,
who was with the president, giggled
and the president smiled. Mr.. Taft
did not look much like himself in his
sack coat with sweater underneath.

Nagel's Department Caused Commotion

that his department had decide to let
the ships plying between the United
States and Central and South Ameri-
car ports clear for their destinations.
Tones of international law were
brought forth and diplomatic etiquette
produced and quoted to show that it
invited grave international compiled
tons ii American ships should sail
from our ports during internecine con-
ficts and insurgent movements in the
Central American states.
1hen McHarg brought out the stat
utes of the United States and showed
that the collectors of customs would
be subject to damages if they held
these ships when there was no state
of wal existing in any of the u
tries, but simply little Instructions.
He told the Off Gals of the state de-
partment that he didn't want to en-
barrass thier diplomacy, but the de-
partment of commerce and labor had
decided to let the ships have their
clearance papers. That vas what hap
pened.
Up to the present time no n has
heard of the wreck or ruin of the dip
lomacy that exists between the gov
eminent of the United States and
those of the Central American States.

MOntanan in Chester. Chester. you
know, is walled. It's wide walls, on
which you could drive a horse, are
famous. You can circle the town on
them.
But the Montanan knew nothing
about Chester. He had only arrived
in Liverpool that afternoon. And as
soon as he finished his quaint dinner,
he said to the waiter in the quaint
Chester inn:
What is the best way for me to
amuse myself here for an hour or two
before bedtime?'
well, sir said the waiter. it's a
fine evening, the moon is full, and |
think you'd find a stroll on the walls
most enjoyable
THE Montanan, ignorant of the pop
ular promenade upon the wide walls
of Chester, thought he was being
guyed. He frowned at the waiter and
said bitterly:
What do you take me for? A tom
cat?'"

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and We tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
Finally l got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. |
used them in the morning and that
evening, before I put my boy to bed,
l used them again and the improve
ment even in those few hours was sur
prising, the Inflammation seemed to
be SO much less. l used two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cured. My son is now in his sew
enteenth year and he has never had
q return OF the eczema.
Il took care of a friends child that
had eczema on its face and limbs and
l used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
They acted on the child just as they
did on my son and it has never re-
turned. l would recommend the Cuti-
cura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J.

Observation-Disclosures people on
w coming to Washington for the
first time and about to meet a public
official are greatly perplexed as to the
form in which they shall address him.
Naturally uniformity is desired in this
respect by all government officials
and for that reason there is an estab-
lished manner in which to greet pub
lie officials with whom one may come
In contact. The social code which
governs social intercourse in the off,
cial set in the national capital sup
plies a prescribed form which it Is
necessary to follow if one would be
correct in his dealings with officials,
whether of a social or a business ma.
ture.
Their are some titled officials in the
army and navy who are granted a
higher rank socially by courtesy than
they are actually entitled to. For in.
stance, lieutenant commanders in the
navy are, by courtesy, in social life
called commanders, while those below
that rank lose thier Off title and
are addressed as plain Mister"
The same rule applies to the staff
officers of the navy. Likewise the as
sistant secretaries of executive depart
ments are called Mister" and the
reason for this Is obvious. 1t is not
an easy matter to introduce a naval
officer by the long and Understanding

to refer to the first lieutenant of an
