There is need he said, of reorganiza-
ton of the government departments,
Il consolidation and a wedding out of
bureaus that overlap in their work !;
scores of local Offices throughout
the country should be abolished and
hundreds of political appointees who
do hut little work should be taken off
the pay roll and there should be an
Improvement in the personnel of gov
eminent employees through the intro
duction Of the Civil Service in pfac-
tically every field, business methods
should be employed by Uncle Sam just
as big corporations use them. a mod
ern system of accounting and report
ing should be adopted and last of all
the Economy Commission should be
continued in it's work.
The Treasury Department. Mr..
Taft showed, looked after the nations
finances and the life-saving service.
The commission. he said. had recon-
mended the abolition of the Revenue
Gutter Service, which would mean
a saving of $1,000, 600 year.
"The greatest economy and efficiency
and the benefits which may accrue
from the Presidents devoting his
time to the work is most worth
whle.'' said the President, may be
assured only by treating NIL the dis
tinctly administrative officers in the
department at Washington and in the
field in the same way as inferior Of
ficers have been treated. The time
ho " al of
should be placed in the classified SER
vice. The time has also come when
those provisions of law which give to
those officers a fixed term Of years
should be repealed. So long rs fixed
term of years is provided by law the
question of reappointment of an Of
fccr, no matter how efficiently he may
have performed his duties. will in
evitably be raised periodically. So
long as appointments to these Offices
must be confirmed by the Senate. and
so long as appointments to them must
be made every four years. just so
long will it be impossible to provide
a force of employees with reason
ably permanent tenure who are quail

department it cost $5.s4 per thousand
to handle incoming mail and in an
other department Ss4.40 per thousand.
For handling outgoing mail one de-

Congress. the press and the people of

WHITE PIMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom. fn.--"The trouble started
on our baby when ne was only about
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for few months, then 1t
went to his ear shoulders, and his
whole body, 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts of his body 1t was
more like water coming out of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep. restless all night.
'The sores were horrid to look at
1t lasted until he was about two and a
half years OLD. Then we saw an &C.
zema advertisement in the paper to
use -, but 1t did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cutlcura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura ONT
ment on thick nj bed time and put a
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed 1t clean
with Cutioura Soap and warm water
twice a day. and he was completely
cured" (Signed) Mrs e. F. Sulzber.

ORIGIN or FAMOUS PHRASE
Belief that Common Political Term
Sprans From Horse Race Held
In Tennessee.

The political term dark horse" is
thought to have had its origin in the
following circumstances:
In the last century there lived in
Tennessee a character" named Flynn,
an elderly person who dealt in horses.
Flynn generally contrived to own a
speedy nag or two for racing purposes
If he could arrange for "a good thing"
during his peregrinations throughout
the state.
The best Of Flynn's flyers was a
coal black stallion named Dusky Pete,
almost thoroughbred and able to go
In the best of company.
One day Flynn visited town where
a race meeting was in progress. He
entered Pete. The people, knowing
nothing of the horses antecedents and
not being over impressed by his ap-
pearance, backed the local favorite
heavily against the stranger.
just as the beasts We're being sad
died for the race, certain Judge Nc
Minamee, who was the "oracle" of
that part of the state, arrived on the
course and was made one of the race
judges,
AS he took his place on the stand he
was told of the folly of the owner OF
the strange entry. Running his eye
over the track the judge instantly rec
ognized Pete. Gentlemen" said Nc
Minamee. there's dark horse in this
race, as yeu1l soon find out"
He was right. Pete, "the dark horse -
lay back until the three-quarter pole
was reached, when he went to the
front with a rush and won the race.

at recommending beauty doctor to

THAT is one Of the first things they
want to know Churches, theaters.
even dressmakers can wait few days,
but the beauty doctor is an immediate
necessity. Unfortunately. they do not
get much satisfaction out of me. Any
number OF beauty specialists leave
cards for distribution, but so many of
them have been mixed up in lawsuits
that feel squeamish about delivering
their cards. To satisfy my own con-
science and the women at the same
time hand out a bunch Of advertise
ments with the remark that | guess
they are about all alike.
Then they can pay their money
and take their choice, and If they lose
their hair and complexion, they can't

their tours on the stationary or peg
posts at ten o'clock at night, the dog
comes trotting from somewhere and

policeman on duty in the precinct suits
his fancy for that particular night.
Frequently he changes from one post
10 another. and remains on watch
until the stationary posts give way

Transvaal Gold.

The value of the gold output OF the
Transvaal for the year 1911 has been
reckoned at s170,000.00O. This was an
increase In value over the previous
year Of mere than s140, 1000, 900. Il Is
estimated that the gold output OF the
Transvaal for the year mentioned corr
stitutes almost. II not quite. 80 per
cent. Of the output Of the whole world
for the same year. In 1910 the pro-
portion was SO per cent, so it will be
seen that the South African gold mines
are sseadily improving. The dividend
distributed from the 1911 output reach
cd the prircely sum of s37.779.057.
