To Shake Plums Slowly.

Washington, March 14.-AnXious office seekers are beginning to feel that there is something in the re- port circulated just before the in- auguration that President Wilson does not intend to rush into official changes for the sake of providing the members of his party with fat appointments. His declaration that he would consider applications made only through department heads, unless he especially invited the applicants to the White House, was the first jar.
 Now hundreds of job-seekers are getting discouraged because they cannot get interviews with the de- partment heads as promptly as they feel they should. Dissensions and rumors of dissensions between President Wilson and some of the big men of the party are delaying the plans of office seekers in a most distressing manner.

INTERESTING STUDY,
 SAYS BRUNDIDCE
Governor Oldham's Interpretation of Immediately" Is Unique, He Thinks The Politicians
 Unsettled.

Little Rock, March ll.-Former Congressman Brunddge of Searcy, who is expected to be one of the leading candidates for governor should a special election be called, arrived in Little Rock last night Mir. Brundidge grew slightly sar- castle in commenting upon the fail ure of Acting Governor Oldham to call an election.s
 ''It is a unique and interesting study to contemplate the rapid strides we are making in the poli- tics of the state just now," said MT. Brundidge. "A few years ago, in the days of men like Senators Gar land, Jones and Berry, the word immediately was used in our con- stitutions to mean without delay, in stantly, but now we find this was all wrong; that the word does not mean that at all, but as defined now is rapidly synonymous with 'indefl- nitely postponed
 T cannot tell what I will do about the race for the governorship until it is determined that an election will be called. 1 have never thought that one would be called, although l see in the evening paper that Act ing Governor Oldham says he will call such an election as soon as conditions are more settled If there should result such a state of turmoil and excitement over the state that the people cannot be trusted to vote for a governor, then 1t will be regretlable that the legis- lature failed to provide a fund for the state militia for we would need them. However, my judgment is that this great state of excitement exists only with the politicians themselves, who are trying to pre- vent free government and no such condition has existed in this state since the days of reconstruction"

VOTESFOR WOMEN
 A NATIONAL ISSUE
Constitutional Amendment Giving Fair Sex the Ballot to Be Pro- posed u. s. Senate
 Takes Action.

Washington, March 16.-A consti- tutional amendment giving women the right to vote for president and vice president probably will be brought formally before congress with the endorsement of a Senate committee before the end of the present year. In the reorganiza- ton of its committees yesterday the Senate took it's woman suffrage committee out of the list of inac- tive committees, where it has re- mained for many years, increased it's membership from five to nine, the majority of whom are advo- cates of suffrage for women, and gave it's chairmanship to Senator Thomas of Colorado, suffrage state.
 Senator Thomas said last night he had accepted the chairmanship with the understanding that there would be active steps taken in this con- gress to submit a suffrage amend ment.
 Senator Thomas will confer with national leaders in the suffrage movement to determine what steps they desire to take. It is expected the committee will begin considera- ton of the question soon after the extra session convenes in April.
 Conference With President.
 Representatives of the National American Woman Suffrage Associa- ton made arrangements yesterday for a conference with President Wilson at 1O:30 o'clock Monday forenoon, when they will urge him to recommend in a message to con- gress an amendment to the federal entitling women to the ballot.
 Whether or not President Wilson makes such recommendation, ac- tivity in congress will begin at an early date.
 The Senate committee on woman suffrage had heretofore been known as minority committee" It has not met for many years. Democratic leaders notified the Republicans early yesterday that they proposed 70 enlarge the committee and take over the chairmanship. As finally organized by the Senate, the com nittee includes the following: Senator Thomas. Colorado, chair man: Senators Owens, Oklahoma; Ashurst, Arizona; Ransdell, Louisi- ana; Hollis, New Hampshire; Clapp, Sutherland, Utah; Jones, Washington; Cathron, New Mexico. |
 Questions Importance Grows.
 Senator Jones is chairman of the special committee now investigat- ing the failure of the police to pro- 9ect. properly the great suffrage pa rade in Washington March 3.
 "The proposal to give women the right of suffrage through a consti- lutional amendment is becoming question of constantly growing inn portance," said Chairman Thomas.
 "I have taken the chairmanship of this committee because l believe l can do some effective work for Ihe extension of suffrage to the women of the country"

A Correct Watch and
 Good Work

Some one has said that If you keep in a good humor uR- til ten o'clock in the morning that you will be cheerful and happy all day.
 Likewise the man who is on time until ten o'clock in the morning is pretty sure to he on time throughout the day. No- thing will help you toward success so much as an accurate watch. Nothing will hinder you so much as one too fast or too slow. If your watch needs repairing or regulating, and all watches do at least once year, bring it to us, the charge is nothing compared to the satisfaction it means to you and the time it saves.

HIS LESSON
BY WILLIAM F. KIRK

THE rich man trudged along the road.
His car had broken down;
: And through the Summer heat he strods
To reach the nearest town.
A fat, old farmer came along
And, with a CHEEKY grin,
Said he: ''This rig is plenty strong
Git in, stranger, git in!'
He drove the rich man to the town
AS one might help child
And when the rich man sought to pay
He shook his head and smiled
You mean it right thar amt no doubt,
And | amt rich" said he,
But helpin' of feller out
Is pay enough for me-"
Back to his home the rich man went
AS one who knows his faults,
And never put another cent
In safe deposit vaults.
He learned to help his fellow men.
And help them with a grim
And how he chuckles, now and then,
Git in, stranger, git in!' -

On One Man S
Diet and What
1t Did for Him
A Menu Which
Calls for Great
Self-Denial,
but .SaUed Him
ByELLA WHEELER WILCOX

a Ii about us are people
II complaining of the high
: cost of living, and of the
ills which assail their bodily
structures.
Philanthropists, reformers and
economists are endeavoring to
set right the wrongs of inflated
prices for food.
Physicians and metaphysicians
are trying to set right the human
body. If the annoyances of both
of the evils which disturb human
peace can be avoided by the in
dividual himself. through the law
of self-control and scientific diet,
all the world should know the
method.
In an exchange a man writes
an account of how he keeps his
family in health and with appe-
tites satisfied on an incredibly
small sum of money. Three
people live on 81 week, and en-
joy the best of vigor There has
been no physician called in the
last seven years, and the bank
account has grown steadily.
WILL POWER REQUIRED
The diet prescribed by this
man would call for great will
power and continual self-denial
on the part of most human be-
ings.
i t is a curious fact that even
those men and women who be-
lieve themselves to be quite
spiritual in their ideals of life,
and who would be horrihed to
think that any one regarded
them IS carpal or gross in their
tastes, are yet unable to elini-
nate from their diet for any
length of time the foods which
they know to be injurious Cor at
least unnecessary to the sus-
tanning of strength and health).
A very charming young woman,
who IS filled with high ideals of
life, declared she would rather
die and be done with it than
force herself TO give up her
favorite foods and beverages
(coffee in particularly in order to
benefit her health.
It is the belief OF many people
that various kinds of foods are
necessary to the building up of a
vigorous body, and that change
of diet should be made fre-
quently Certainly a monoto-
nous menu pals upon the appe-
tite, and unless the following
list of eatables could be changed
and augmented not many of us
would be happy in our repasts
for any length of time.
Nevertheless, when a man
makes such positive statements
regarding the benefits resulting
from such diet. benefits to body
