with which to carry forward the in
quiry. The Anal plans were not ap-
proved by the president until he had
consulted with large number Of
business men and had received writ
ten suggestions from numerous audit
companies.
The central staff, of which Mr..
Cleveland is to be the chief, will be
composed of four men in addition to
the chief. It's function will be to keep
the president informed as to condi-
tons in the several departments. It
might properly be called bureau Of
inspection. The economy and eff
cheney commissions to be organized
in each department will undertake to
ascertain If greater efficiency can be
obtained without increasing the cost
of the service.
1t is explained at the White House
that the general movement does not
contemplate the dismissal of govern
ment clerks, but the gaining of great
er efficiency. The president has come
to believe that the departments work
at cross purposes in some instances
and that it is frequently the case that
in a particular department money ia
wasted because the service is not or
ganized or centered as it should be.

itching had gone to my chest and dur

I was in continual agony from the
itching. I could neither lie down nor

cura Remedies, and l thought would
give them a trial. took a good bath
with the Cuticura Soap and used the
Cuticura Ointment. I put it on from

went to bed. On the first of April I
felt like new man. The itching was

of the country, at the present time
exerting salutary influences upon
every important national activity, has
embraced new field. A safe, sane
and successful method of conserving
and finding method of caring for our
ex-presidents is the latest idea in the
conserving line. A provision in the
constitution of the national conserva-
ton congress is responsible for the
proposal, and serious consideration is
being given it, not by the political
dreamer or theorist, but by the great
public figures of the country.
Bernard N. Baker, retiring presi-
dent of the congress, by virtue of a
clause in the constitution, becomes a

WASHINGTON estimates OF

kXIASHINGTON.-T estimates of

for next year show that the postoff1ce
department promises fair to pay it's
own way. The mail service comes
nearer to the people than any other
branch of the government, for 1t
reaches every home as we'll as shops
and Offices. It costs a lot of money.
Mr.. Hitchcock asks for $250,733,943,
and the appropriation for the depart
ment always is set forth in the ex-
penditures for each year, but the earn
ings from the mails bring back the
outlay to the treasury. This business
is not reported in the current daily
statement of the treasury which set
forth only the deficit paid. This
amounted last year to $17,000.000, and
will be 100000 less for the current
twelve months, while it is predicted
that it will disappear in the next
fiscal year. The department gets no
pay for the vast tons Of matter which
it carries for other branches of the
government. If it did the offset
against the deficit would be very
large. The rent of offices in Wash
ington and in public buildings else
where does not cover this traffic.

ganized sentiment, to adopt the same
method with the president of the
United States, make him, for life, an
advisory member Of the presidents
cabinet and give him a competence
sufficient to make him independent.
Speaking of this proposal, Mr.. Baker
said that it was really surprising how
many men there were in the west who
thought that this method furnished
the solution of the perpetual perplex-
ing question as to what disposition to
make of our ex-presidents.
"On it's face the proposition is GER
tainly a plausible one. 1t stands to
reason that after man has been
president for four or eight years he
knows the problems and difficulties
which confront the man at the helm
of the ship of state better than does
his successor. If the ex-presidents
could be made advisory members of
the cabinet of the president, the lat
ter would get the benefit of the ad'
vice of the former No matter II
there should be change in the ad-
ministration, this would make no diff
ference to broNd-minded men.
"Of course, there would have 60 be
legislation providing that when man
is elected to the presidency his sue
cession to the cabinet position neces
sarily follows. All this is not mere
theory. It is Endorsed by some of the
political thinkers of the country

and in extent Of territory covered
there is nothing to be compared with
it. The reduction in rates since the
days when rs cents was charged for
a letter from New York to Columbus,

The system which for two cents de-
livers a message in writing weighing
an ounce from Maine to San Fran
cisco not only but to the Philippines,
or from the southern point of Florida
TO the northern extremity of Alaska,
is a model of efficiency at the mini

are the same with our domestic

world presents no parallel to the
economy and to the achievement.
Europe is compact in population
with distances measured by hundreds
of miles only. This is especially true
of Great Britain. There penny post
age is proclaimed as triumph and
an example. Americans forget that
the British penny is the equal In cur
rent value of two cents of our money.
The cent is often called penny, but
it is only half penny, and thus the
term is a misnomer. Our postal rates
on letters are now Just those of Great

Klinger to wives who want wealth to
come to their husbands. Mrs. Killing;
er is the wise, general manager and
treasurer of the Klinger family. By
baking bread and darning socks and
practicing other housewifery arts and
economies she has helped her husband
become the richest policeman in Chi
cago, with an income of 5000 a month
from his houses.
Mrs. Klinger says it Is all due to the
study and practice of household econ
omy, which includes everything from
building a kitchen fire to managing a
husband
Not the least important detail of
managing a husband, Mrs. Klinger
says, is keeping him home evenings.
"The way to keep man home" she
says, us to keep him busy. If you
don't he will get tired of his home and
get in the habit of passing his eve
to have odd jobs for Mr.. Klinger about
the house, and when he wasn't working
he was reading.
