The Most Important
Cabinet officer.

1t has happened five times In the
history of the United States that
the vice president has succeeded to
the presidency-John Tyler. Mil
lard Fillmore. Andrew johnson.
Chester A. Arthur and Theodore
Roosevelt being the vice presidents
who succeeded to the higher office
through the death of the president.
1t is generally recognized that
the first in importance of the cabi
net officers is the secretary of state.
He has in charge all business be-
tween our own and foreign gov
ernments. He is, strictly speak
ing, our minister of foreign affairs.
He is authorized (and no other
cabinet officer Isl to negotiate With
foreign governments in the name
of the president 1t is the duty Of
the secretary of state to supervise
the publication of all laws, treaties
and proclamations.
The salary of each cabinet officer
is $4,000 per year. a small sum
when one considers the importance
of the Offices to be filled and the
experience and skill necessary to fill
them properly 1t has been urged
that the services of cabinet officers
would be of greater value to the
government if they were given
seats in congress. This would tend
to loosen the restrictions by which
the officers are bound.
1t must be remembered that the
nine executive departments of our
government were created by acts
of congress; that the bringing to-
gether of these nine men to cOnsti-
tute a new organization, advisory
to the president, is sanctioned
neither by the constitution nor by
law. Custom alone mas established
the relation of this body of men to
the chief executive, and the impOs-
sibility of any one man attending
personally to all the business Of the
government makes such an adyls-

ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan.

beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura oint-
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-

the hair. 1t is well to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap

be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
