EFFICIENCY
That WASTES
The TIME
Of the PUBLIC

EFFICIENCY experts have sprung up in great num-
T. bers within the last two or three years and much
l. of their work has been of great benefit, but Just
nov there are certain sorts of socaled efficiency that
are taking up the time of the public and apparentl7 are
for the benefit Of the very few against the incon
venience OF the many.
New telephone methods, turnstiles, noreceipt rules
soda checks and perhaps of other apparently
trivial rules and regulations all started with view to
efficiency are really proving bother to the public
In the matter of the telephones for instance, in many
big cities if not in ALL the telephone girls have been
trained by various to devote less and less of
their own time to the operation of putting in calls
The res ut is a splendid justification of efficiency
from the point of view OF the telephone company but
how about the public?
You now give central a number and she repeats it
back to you shutting you off just she speaks the
last syllable of the last number. II she Heard you
correctly harm has been done, but if she did not
get the number you her, there is all sorts OF
trouble If you gave her BLANK 7O71" the chances

of impaired eyesight which in the past could
not be remedied are now actually cured by
curing the bad teeth, and thus removing the
cause.
1t is claimed that there are no special teeth
that alone affect the eyes when these teeth
become decayed, but that nearly if not every
tooth has some bad effect upon the eyesight
if the tooth is not attended to. At the same
time bad upper teeth have a much worse et-
feet upon the eyesight than bad lower teeth
Therefore, there is another reason, and most
important one, why bad teeth should be RENE
died at once, and also there is reason to be-
lieve that many more cases of impaired eye
sight will be cured now that it is known what
part the bad teeth play in the matter
Care should be taken to watch the chill
dren Sometimes their eyesight bothers
them while their teeth seem in good condi-
ton The chances are there are decaying
spots at the roots of the teeth which are not
visible, but which may be having an injuri-
)us effect upon the eye-sight.

Of the average commuters train is about as
vile as possible. The car is generally over
heated. Il is filled with men who sit there
for the purpose Of smoking. and the air is
literally thick and gray with smoke II is not
an uncommon thing TO step in such a smoking
car and be unable TO recognize a friend at
the other end because Of the dense volumes
of smoke
In the first place the smoker generally
wants his smoke right after his meal II he
dashes for the train he may or may not
smoke on the way. It is better not to do
so. Tor the lungs should be filed with as

Evidence That Shows
PHARAOH Had HOOKWORM

7 T vas not so many years ago that the So
| Jalled discovery" OF hookworm disease
set everyone talking. And while many
papers had all sorts Of fun with it because
the great symptom was a dissemination to
WORK, the fact remained that it was a very
serious matter indeed But hookworm dis
ease is still looked upon by most people as
something quite modern.
Instead of being modern it is literally
Older than the pyramids" because it has
now been discovered that Pharaoh had the
disease. It may not be possible to prove it
now, but still it is possible that Rameses,
either the first, second or third, suffered with
the disease. At any rate it was prevalent in
their days and one proof that it prevailed
i'm those days is that in some OF the very
Oldest OF the mummies found the scientists
who examined them recently discovered hook
worms

for them, but with others in their day, or
very soon after their day it was not laziness
at all but the genuine hookworm, the same
hookworm that gets into the feet OF the col
ored people down South to-day.
In some of these mummies placed in the
pyramids, bodies of members of the royal
families DR. Luce who was among those in
yestigatng the matter actually found the
hookworms i'm the mummies.
Now it is said that many physicians who
once believed in the Kneipp cure, walking
about barefooted in the morning dew, are
Directing TO it on the grounds that such pee.
pie might get hookworms into their body, as
f. is known they work into the system
through the feet
While this may be true in certain sections
Of the South and also abroad, around the
pyramids, it apparently does not hold good
everywhere. for there is scarcely a New
Highlander to-day but what went barefooted
at least three months Of every year in his
bOyhood.

Then this commuter climbs into the smoker
and sits and smokes and reads his paper or
talks or plays a couple of hands of whist
with brother commuters on the way to work.
1t has been estimated by scientists that one
puff of cigarette smoke contains 4OO,OOO00O
particles Of dust Just how many particles of
dust are contained in a smoking car full of
men 1t would be impossible to estimate. But
a share of this is breathed into the lungs
Smoking in your office is different. The air
about you is not smoke laden. il contains
only a little smoke from your cigar. Smok-
ing out OF doors is even better. You do not
as a rule inhale the smoke. You blow it out
without inhalng and inhale the fresh air.

breath until you suffoCate.

The Easiest WAY for a COMMUTER to SPOIL His DAYS WORK

TN every large city il the country there are
from hundreds 10 thousands OF men who
1 deliberately spoil their days work before
they begin it, That is. they put themselves

lungs, weaken their heart action, injure their
ewes and slightly daze their brains and there
10y are in such shape that they cannot per
form their days work as well as they could
when they left their home in the morning.
These people are commuters. and they
spoil their days work, or at least lessen its
uality and their own efficiency by riding 10

"CHISANA,' "SHUSHANA," AND
 "SHUSHANNA."
O-O

THE name of the new placer gold
 strike near the headwaters of
 the Panama rivey has caused the same confusion in nomenclature that has usually resulted after the dis. covery of a new district in Alaska The prospectors and the newspapers have used three names for the latest Northern strike - rather they have used two names. one of which they have spelled in two different ways. The new district takes it's name from the Chisana river. and the newspapers at first called it the "Chisana." As news continued coming from the dis trict it was discovered that the pros pectors on the ground had adopted the name "Shushana, or "Shushanna,' undoubtedly a corruption of the name of the river and the newspapers ac- cepted that. However, those that are in that district and the newspapers closest Co the country have, apparent ly. discarded the corruptiOns, and are now using the name of the river from which their district got its name - "Chisana." That is probably the name that the district should have. and that it shall be hereafter in the columns of The Empire unless usuage should de- cree that it be otherwise.

THE LEGAL STATUS OF THE SUL-
 FER IMPEACHMENT
O-O

THE contest between Gov. Sulzer
 l and Lieut-Gov. Glynn over the
 Governorship in New York in wolves the validity of the impeach- ment of the former by the Legislature The question as to which of them is entitled to exercise the functions of the executive office is purely one of law. Two mooted points have been raised.
 The constitution of New York pro- vides that the Legislature can impeach a Governor, and that when he is i'm peached. the Ljeutenant-Gov be- comes the acting Governor, pending the trial of the impeachment charges.
 However, the provision in the New York State constitution, providing for an extra session of the Legislature, re stricts the powers of that branch of the Government when in extra ses- sion to the consideration of such things as the Governor shall request it to consider.
 The Legislature of New York was called together for the purpose of con- sidering the direct primary law Af- ter defeating the administration pri- mary bill, it, while in extra session, appointed the Frawley committee that investigated Gov. Sulzer's report of his campaign expenses, and, acting on
The Alaska daily empire., 1913-08-25

! the recommendation of the committee, the House of Representatives i'm peach the Governor.
 The attorneys for Gov. Sulzer, among them eX-Judge D. Cady Her. rick, one of the greatest lawyers of the Empire State, contend that the Legislature could exercise no func- tions at the extra session except to consider those things the Governor had recommended that it consider.
 The other point made in Gov. SulZer's defense to the charges that have been preferred against him is that the constitution of the State pro- yides that the Governor can be inn peached for malfeasance, misfeasance and misdemeanors committed while in
 flee. The charges against him relate to his campaign expenditures and crimes alleged to have been committed before he became Governor.
 Those are the points that Gov. Sul-  Fer and Judge Herrick proposed should be presented to the Court of Appeals. Of course, if the Court of Appeals should decide the case in favor of Gov. Sulzer. the Legislature could, at it's regular session next winter, impeach the Governor, and his guilt or innO- cence of the charges against him could them be determined.
 In the meantime, however, New York will elect, in November, a new assembly, and fusion of all the op- pOnents of Tammany is being per fected in New York that makes it eX- tremely doubtful if Tammany will be in control of the Legislature after the present year.

GOV. TOSS AND HIS POLITICS

~ OV. EUGENE N. TOSS, of Mas M sachusetts, who quit the Repub-
 lican party because he did not like it's attitude on the tariff question: and was then elected to Congress and three times to the Governorship of his State as a Democrat, has now left the Democratic party because he does not like it's attitude on the tariff question. He says now that he will become a Republican again, and will be candidate for the Republican nom inatiOn for Governor.
 Gov. FOss' objections to the Demo cratic tariff bill are that it reduces du- ty on manufactured articles as we'll as on the raw materials that manufactur- CTS use. He is a firm believer in free trade for articles that he buys and a high tariff on products that he sells He goes further than that-just a lit bAC Aul t44CA AC icLf UT 1o 1GClDIOCAly Mllu Canada-a reciprocity that will give 1 Canada the right tn coll in the United orates, duty free, products that do not compete with those things that Mir. Foss makes and sells, and that will give the things that he does make and sell the right of free entry into Can ada.
 All of which means that Mir. Floss made a mistake when he thought he had become a Democrat just because the Republicans were not doing for him those things that he wanted them to do. He is not, after all, a tariff re- former. He is just the same kind of special privilege seeker that most of the other protected barons are. only very much more so. Most of the other protected barons are willing to pay duty on the things they have to buy in exchange for the privilege of levy ing tribute on those that buy from NANAi' AhCJ iAC WILLIE IO lSL Olucf pigs put their feet in the trough, as long as they get what they want.
 But Mir. Foss is a different kind of pig. He wants the whole trough to himself, and he turned Democrat to help drive the other pigs out, hoping thereby to get all the protection for | himself.
 1 It is a good thing for the Democrat ic party that MT. Foss has quit it. It would be splendid for it if all the high tariff men would depart from its consels. Then it would not consume so much of the Presidents energy and time in fighting to keep the Democratic party democratic.
