had more or less embittered his entire

RULE TO GOVERN CHANGES
PENSION SYSTEM PROVIDED

A bill providing a system of retirement
for the civil employees of the government
very similar to that already established
for the military and naval branches of
the government. drafted by the Balti-
more Branch of the United States Civil
Service Retirement Association, is being
sent broadcast over the country in an ef-
fort to obtain popular support. Charles
+. Hanna. president of the Baltimore
branch, is sending letter along with the
bill, declaring the belief of the organiza-
ton that the enactment into law of this
measure will be of inestimable benefit
not only to the employees. but also to the
government service. He expresses the
hope that at the coming session of Con-
gress the bill will be Introduced by some
member and will be passed by Senate and
House.
Now is certainly the cpportune time
to establish permanent system for the
complete reorganization of the entire civil
service, thereby placing it on .the exact
plane with the military branches of the
government, in tenure. compensation and
retirement" Mr. Hanna says:
Questions Propounded.
The question involved is not the pres
emf enigency, but show shall the .stupen-
dous and increasing business of our gov
eminent be best conducted? How shall
the government make its civil service
efficient, dignified and respected? How
shall the service be made more attractive
to the most honest, Intelligent and indus
triouS of our citizens? How shall be
promoted zeal n the civil service that
will create esprit de corps-the cyno-
sure of all enlightened nations?
The civil service, in its jurisdiction.
certainly is as essential to the welfare
of the country as are the other branches,
and, as our government primarily a
civil one, and the military branches mere
Iy auxiliary ones, necessary to enforce
the mandates of the law as enacted and
provided by our congressional bodies. it is
evident that the executive and admins
trative officers of the law should possess
the highest standard of intelligence and

There is nothing new about the

Whenever their hair fell out or took
on a dull, faded or streaked oppear'
ance they made brew of sage leaves
and applied it to their hair, with won
derfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to old-time, tiresome methods of gath.

This is done by sk;llful chemists bet.
