DON'T SAY YOU'RE old.
You Can Feel Younger by Keeping
Up Your Strength.

Z 1t is a mistake for elderly people
to let themselves think they are
getting old.
What If you have had 60 or 20
birthdays? You can keep your mind
young and active, and you can also
feel younger than your age if you
guard your bodily strength
Mr.. George B. Smithv aged II,
of Smithville, Ont, says that Vinol
cured him of case of stomach
trouble of long standing, and that
he now feels as strong and can do
as good a days work as he did
thirty years ago, which he owes
to Vinol. 81 think it is worth its
weight in gold for any ailment
of aged people" says Mr.. Smith.
This delicious cod liver and iron
preparation without oil strengthens
and inHigorates all feeble, rundown

speeches throughout this state in

lively refuses to do. The governor

noon to prepare for his speaking

WALL Street MAY
SOON CLAMOR FOR
The WHITE METAL

1t is a curious condition that now
prevails in Wall street and which
those VINO followed the banner of
Bryan in the memorable 1906 cam
paign are watching with keen in
terest and complacent satisfaction.
There is movement there,
which is gaining force all the time,
for a substitution of silver for the
gold standard. 1t has progressed
SO far that articles in favor of it are
printed in the Wall Street Journal
One correspondent whose letter is
printed in the first page of that
paper, declares that:
THE flood-tide of gold has only
begun to sweep over the world. 1t
must go on and wages must ad-
vance under it. 1t is the gold
output which is at the bottom OF
the trouble. in the labor world on
both sides of the ocean Minimum
wage in England and Wales is
about $1.25 per day and in some
district SITS. Wages in England
are rather better for the working
man today than they are in the
United States, Germany and England
have felt the fiood-tide sooner than
the United States.
This writer declares that the
Rand district is good for 5000, 0OO,-
600 of gold every year for fifty
years, and in ten years the Rand
and other South African districts
will be producing 100000, tc
say nothing of Canada, Alaska, the
United States, Mexico, Peru, Chill
Brazil and Columbia. He estimates
the production of new gold in g
few years at 81 900, 900, 900 year
and then asked if "the financia
interests of the world will combine
to substitute the silver standard fol
the gold Standard"
Now as stability of prices de
pend upon the quantity of money il
circulation, it would seem to b,
much easier to curtail coinage thar
to undertake to change the stand
ards again. 1t is often said tina
in the campaign of 1896 that |
gold became plentiful, Wall stree
would be calling out for the silve,
standard, and the prediction hal
come true.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE ON
ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY

devote all their time to public
service, the annual savings would
amount to about s4.5OO.OOO."
Further and similar savings. the
message declared, could be effect
ed by the abolition of assistant
postmasters.
An annual saving of nearly s62.-
900, 900 could be made, Taft asserts,
if pension agents were put on a
civil service list. More efficient
work coupled with an economical
administration would result if the
post of receiver at the land offices
were abolished and the register CIV
en- those duties in addition to his
own. and put on the classified list.
The message adds:
I'm the internal revenue and
customs service the direct saving
of salaries and indirect economy
through increased efficiency would
follow and result in the transfer of
such Offices to the classified service.
In other fields of services the saw
ing which would result from CLASH
fication of local officers under the
different departments is not as
marked. but undoubtedly substantial
saving would follow"
Other officers, the placing of whic"
upon the civil service lists is urged
by the president, are;
Steamboat inspectors, field agents
and the bureaus attached to the
fisheries. The consolidation of the
lighthouse and life-saving services
is also urged. Other changes urged
in the messages are, as follows:
Consolidation of the revenue cut
ter service with the department OF
commerce and labor
Consolidation of the different de-
partments in the auditing offices.
Unification of the travelling ex
penses of government officials.
Simplification of correspondence
filing systems.
Establishment of central dis
tributing offices for mailing pub
lie document.
Simplification in the present sys
tenn of estimating appropriations.
The message also asked for al
additional appropriation of $3.50,
600 for the economy commission.

AUTO MAN SAYS
CAMP WILL BOOM

j. c. Durham of Reno, the Ne
vada agent for the REQ automobiles,
arrived on this mornings train and
will look over the local field with
the idea of appointing local agent
for the REQ cars.
Mr.. Durham, who was employed
in the mines at Virginia City for
number of years before entering
the automobile business, in talking
with representative of the Be-
nanza, said
sHaving been interested in min
ing for number of years, nat
urally have kept in touch with
Tonopah and its progress, and 1
can say, without exaggeration. that
Tonopah is holding the attention of
the public in manner that shows
how anxious the public are to
get in on some of the good things
that it appears Tonopah possesses.
When the first part of the boom
was noticed there were some who
thought that it might be manipu-
lation, but as the different prop
critics kept making strikes and the
bullion shipments kept coming, the
public realized that the boom was "a
result Of legitimate mining and
they have at this time the high
est regard for Tonopah, herr mines
and prospects.
Il expect to stay here for sew
eral days and will appoint an agent
for the car handle.
The people in Reno realize that
Tonopah is live camp and l look
for many to come down here be-

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Aboli-
ton of the patronage sytem regard
ing first and second-elass postmas-
ters. pension agents, employees of
the land Offices, the internal revenue
ord customs service and the trans
fer of such position to the CLASH
fed civil service lists are recon-
rleEded to congress by President
Taft today in a second chapter
message on economy and efficiency.
Fhe message said:
lin the interests of an enicient
and economical administration of the
business of the government l urge
the necessity for the Inauguration
of this important reform, and rec
ommend as necessary, amendments
to the laws governing such appoint
ments, such amendments to take
effect nots later than July /, 1918,
so that there may be secured to
: the people the benefits to be de-
rived from the conduct of their
affairs by officers selected on the
basis of merit and devoting their
time and talents solely to the du-
ties of their offices.
I'm my opinion each of the fore
going recommendations, il acted on
will largely increase efficiency. Di.
rectly and indirectly, the changes
proposed will result in saving mil.
lions of dollars
This will leave congress free
to determine whether the amount
thus saved may be utilized to re
duce taxation or provide funds will
which to extend activities already
carried on and enter into bene
fetal projects which heretofor,
could not be undertaken for lacl
of funds"
In the postoffice department tn,
president declared that the investi
cations of the economy commission
indicated that in many cases TIVE
persons were doing the work o
one. In this connection the mes
sage said:
AS the annual operating expenses
of first and second-class postoffice
aggregate over $4,000, 900, Their
is no doubt that II the postmaster
