THE great movement for the con-
i servation of the natural resources
of the country, at the present time
exerttng salutary influences upon
every important national activity, has
embraced a 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
clause in the constitution, becomes
member for life of the executive COM

Expert to Head the Economy Bureau

proved by the president until he had
consulted with a 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 tic
the chief. Its function will be to keep
the president informed as to condi
lions in the several departments 1t

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 is
wasted because the service is not or

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
It grew steadily worse until, when l
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
In a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, If deep, will Itch

heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. 1 was
In despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was SO great
that, when partially awake, I would
scratch the worst places SO that my
finger-tips would be bloody. I could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then L would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, 1 now decided to
order a set OF the Cutfcura Remedies

for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. l COM
menced the Cuttcura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp I used about one half a cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time took six or seven bottles of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or te-
dious treatment. Since then I have
had no scalp trouble of any kind.

XTASHINGTON.-T estimates of
w Postmaster General Hitchcock
for next year show that the postoffice
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 it
reaches every home as well as shops
and Offices 1t costs a lot of money.
Mr.. Hitchcock asks for $3.50, 733, 943,
and the appropriation for the depart
ment always is set forth in the ex-
pendftures 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 $4,000, 900, 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

where does not cover this traffic.

Just how general the use of the
poppy Juice has become is not esti-
mated, but it is admitted to be more
alarming than ever before in the his
tory of the army. Acting Commander
Col. c. Deems said that in all his
career he had never encountered such
a general addiction to the drug. and
that at worst his observation had
never disclosed a higher percentage
of opium using than two to three per
cent 1t was at first estimated that
forty per cent of the men at he
Preside were using the drug, but this
was declared excessive, a more prob
able figure after company and hos
pital statistics had been compiled, be-
ing ten per cent
Alarmed at this high percentage,
appeals were directed by Colonel
Lundeen, commandant at the post, to
the district attorneys office and to
the office of the chief of police, with
the result that raids ON opium dens
by the civil authorities are being
made.

Has Plan to Care for Ex-Presidents

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 we're 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.
ION it's face the proposition is GER
tainly a plausible one. 1t stands to
reason that after a 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 if
there should be change in the ad-
ministration, this would make no diff
ference to broad-minded men.
"'Of course, there would have to be
legislation providing that when a man
is elected to the presidency his sue
cession to the cabinet position neces-
sarily follows. All this is not mere
theory. 1t is Endorsed by some of the
political thinkers of the country"

a marvel of cheapness. In volume
and in extent of territory covered
there is nothing to be compared with
it The reduction in rates since the
days when 25 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
mum of cost. When we consider also
the burden of malls oversee to GER
tain countries where the foreign rates
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

an example. Americans forget that
the British penny is the equal in cur

The cent is often called a penny, but
it is only half a penny, and thus the
term is a misnofner. Our postal rates

Latest Kansas Events.
Tobacco in Leavenworth County.


Leavenworth farmers have discov-
cred a new crop. For several years
tobacco has been grown at Weston,
Mo-, which is just across the river
from Leavenworth. Last year some of
the farmers came to the conclusion
that the soil on the Leavenworth side
of the river was just the same as the
soil at Weston, and several put in
small patches of tobacco. One farm
er put in two acres and the crop was
a success, averaging about 1000
pounds to the acre and selling for IA
cents per pound. The man who plant
ed the two acres received $3.50 for the
crop. This year some of the most
successful farmers have raised tobac-
co in patches of from FIVE to ten
acres and the crop will average again
about 1000 pounds to the acre. To-
bacco has been raised on about 200
acres SO there will be about 200 tons
for sale. Warden Codding, of the
state penitentiary at Lansing, after in
specting the tobacco crop of this coun-
ty, has decided to plant about II acres
of tobacco on the prison farm next
year for the use of the convicts. The
prison pays about $4,000 a year for
leaf tobacco and makes it into plug
tobacco. He can save this money by
growing the tobacco on the farm. The
tobacco crop has been so much of a
success this year that it is estimated
that at least 1000 acres will be plant
ed in tobacco next year. The men
who have grown tobacco this year
have called meeting for the purpose
of perfecting an organization and they
also will work for tobacco warehouse
in Leavenworth.
