At last a Cuban lady came into the

Bismarck has a man who tries to
exist on oatmeal and kirared foods.
The doctors have told him that he
must not eat real food such as corn
cakes and bacon for breakfast, corn
beef and cabbage for dinner and pot
roast for supper. This man is miser-
able in the belief that no living person
has the cause for complaint that he
has and all on account of nervous
dyspepsia superinduced by gluttonery.
The following fines were not written

write poetry and even Jimmy Foley

He often dons plain overalls.
And yet the man Of vast estate

No phantom mists bedim his eyes.

'.These are some of the big features of the

tioning the cost for carrying second

zation of the whole postal system. The
commission unanimously recommended the
passage of the projected bill. Personally
j have been very much interested in all
the details and of course am heartily in
favor of the changes to be made"
Senator Carter said last March: But
i must forego further pursuit of details.
The bill is cordially approved by Post
master General Meyer and his assistants,
and likewise has the approval of Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock. 1t failed of pas

will increase efficiency but that after the
expense of installation is absorbed it will
result in such economies in the administra-
ton of the department and service as will
ere long wipe out the deficiency in operat-
ing under it. The department will be
able with almost unerring certainty to de-
termine the actual cost of each service per-
formed, thereby reaching a sound basis, for
legislation such as is neither available nor
obtainable under the present system.
Il deeply sympathize with the earnest
desire of the department officials to get rid
of the deficiency they are fated to encoun-

movement toward that end must begin with
the substitution of a modern, up-to-date
business organization for the existing an

sections of law enacted in 1885, supple

time to time since that veal"
John Wanamaker said recently:
"With Mr.. Hitchcock suggestion,
however, there will be no general
agreement. The magazines are sup
ported not by the price paid for the
magazine by the readers, but by the
advertisers. La a sense, magazines are
private concerns, but they have a public
function to perform, an educational func-
ton. To tax the advertisements is to tax
the quality of the educational matter con
tanned in the pages. For the advertise
ments enable the publishers to pay, high
prices for literature and educational ar
ticles. The price paid for magazine does
not pay for the printing and the paper.
If Mr.. Hitchcock suggestion should be
come part of the presidents plan it would
mean that the public would suffer in the
loss of much educational material that the
publishers then would be unable to
buy"
