100000, 600 IS TOO MUCH
Senator Aldrich Says He Could Run
the Nation and Save That
Much a Year.

WASHINGTON, D. Ex-senator
Aldrich said today that if permitted
to do so he would undertake to run
the government Of the United States
for $300,000,00O a year less than it
now costs. He was not presenting
a formal proposition, but was MAX
ing a speech to the senate on his bill
providing for the creation of a COM
mission to reform the business meth
DDS OF the government.
He pleaded earnestly for the au-
thority, saying that present methods
were obsolete and involved the an
nual loss of at least 500, 100000.
At his instance the bill was so amend
ed as to provide that the commission
should be composed entirely of mem
bers Of cOngress-fve senators and
five members Of the house.
Mr.. Aldrich spoke in response to
Senator Dolliver, who opposed the
bill, on the ground that it would Gre
ate suspicion in the mind of the pub
lie as to the methods of conducting
the governments business. There
was much discussion of the bill. The
senate did not conclude considera-
ton Of the bill.

WIFE'S WAY IN AMERICA.
Mrs. Brutker, Newly Arrived, Quick

ly Learns 1t and Shows Hubby.
George Brutker, a German, who
arrived at New York recently with
his wife and small child, was rather
disconnected when he found out how
rapidly his wife was becoming Amer
1canized. When Mr. Brutker went
to the railroad room at Ellis Island
to buy tickets he found the 700
marks he had were gone. The mon
ey, he thought, had been either lost
Of stolen on shipboard. Mrs. Brut-
ker came to his help at this embar-
RAISING moment. She produced 800
marks which she had hidden in her
clothes and paid for the tickets.
The husband expected the ticket
seller to give him the change. Mrs.
Brutker would not have it that way.
She took the money and carefully
put it away again.
I'VE are in America now" she told
her husband. Here the women hold
the purse strings. The men bring
their pay home to their wives every
pay day, and that is the way we will
do"
Then she led her husband away.

Disbursements.
Numerous small errors were found
to exist in the General Ledger" the
latter being a record of the distribu-
ton or classification of disburse-
ments. These errors are of a minor
nature, and do not affect the cor
rectness Of the cash.
The Treasurer sought to correct
them by making an entry "Errata
$160.52" at the close of the year,
but that this entry did not effect
its purpose may be evidenced by his
report of December 81, 1909, the
disbursements therein being incor-
rectly footed by 500. To prevent
such errors in future we suggest that
the General Ledger" be compared
and brought into agreement with the
cash book monthly.

Physical Experts Say She'll Soon BE

Dr. Dudley A. Sergeant, physical

of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way.

nose and splitting, and at the same time
the stomach, as internal medicines do.
II you want to test this treatment with
out cost. send your address to DR.. J. w.
Blosser, 81 Walton street, Atlanta, Ca,

COIJJAlBIA.-Because he died of pellagra, a
report was current Tuesday that Mr.. j. Perry
Glenn took this dread disease at the state hos
pltal for the insane. Of which he was regent
DR.. Babcock, in an interview, denied that such
could have been the case. Mr.. Glenn, who
died Sunday in Anderson, paid frequent visits
to Columbia, in the capacity of regent OF the
hospital.
There is absolutely ground for the sur
mise to the effect that Mr.. Glenn caught pei
legra at the state hospital for the insane,
said the superintendent of the hospital ~Dr
j. W. Babcock. in reply to question 'our
own observations have convinced that pei
Iagra Is not conta gious." DR.. Babcock continued
''and a recent letter from DR.. c. H. Lavinder
saws that after three months of hard investiga-
ton in the pellagrous districts Of Europe he is
firmly OF the same opinion. Aside from this,
Mr.. Glenn has never come in contact with cases
Of pellegra."
