At an early age, Eugene Fullen was al

trunk on an upper floor he felt a palm II
the right groin. The suffering increased
and 1t wes not long before the young mar
noticed the swelling.
The doctor told young Pullen that ne
was ruptured and that he must elthci

a drastic operation. All surgeons know
that hernia operations. with anaesthetics
ETC., arc dangerous; they may end fatally

Afraid of Operation.
Like most others. Mr. Fulien declined
to take the risks OF an operation, the
expense and loss OF time had TO be con-
sidered. too. Hoping he might get 1T
tie better encouragement, he went TO an
other physician, who, to his sorrow, gave
him even less hope. II was pointed out
TO the young man that unless the rupture
wero perfectly held all the time or the
surgeons knife successfully used, he
might expect an increase or doubling in

Victim Of Trusses.
Tho victim bought a truss. a hard,
spring like affair, the best he could get

Ills express business. The hard tasks OF
ordinary men were forbidden him. He
became an insurance agent. In which po-
sition he did not need to do bodily work.
For six years Mr.. Pullen dragged
around, using various trusses. hard, elas-
tic, etc, with never any contentment.
One day his mother told him something
she had just found out, It was simple
and easy thing for him to do. He lost
no time.
Discarded His Truss.
Relief came at once; he almost forgot
that he had any rupture Afterward
came cure-a complete healing-an nd

civil SERVICE
STARTS SCANDAL
Postmaster Examinations Taken
Under Assumed
Names.

Washington, March ga civil SER
vice scandal of large proportions that
probably will engage ultimately the
attention of several branches of the
Administration. is now being inves-
tigated by the Civil Service Com
nilsson.
The scene of the revelations that
have come to the Commission are in
Indiana and the persons alleged to
be implicated are residents OF the Se,.
ond Congressional District. The
charges in brief are that there has
been a systematic and carefully-plan-
ned violation of the civil service
law by which certain persons have
taken examinations under the names
OF other persons. Those passing the
examination, it is alleged, have been
well qualified to answer the ques-
tions and after having secured salts
factory ratings they give way and
allow the persons whose names They
have assumed to take the jobs.
Details of the said charges are be-
ing carefully guarded here pending
action. The examinations were held
at New Albany. Ind, and, 1t is al
legged. the frauds were perpetrated
there.

the Civil Service Commission re-
turned 10 WASHINGTON from Indiana

DATE EFFECTIVE OF CHANGES.
The proposed reductions win be
made effective as soon as the tariffs
can be compiled and issued giving
the notice required by law. 1t is now
estimated that the new interstate
tariffs will be made effective about
April Is or shortly thereafter lce-r
tainly not later than May 1, 1910,
and that the interstate tariffs will
be published Immediately thereafter
to be effective not later than July /,
1914. The great majority of inter
state fares are joint with other rail-
roads and such cannot be compiled;
the interstate tariffs require the CO.
operation of all connections, and as
the fares in these are far more nu-
merous, involving many thousands of
figures which have to be calculated.
there is naturally some delay. The
legal notice required in connection
with interstate fares is 80 days.

IN CUSTOMS
Have Fallen Over Ten Mil
lions in February.
Treasury Officials Hopeful Some
thing Will Happen To
Stop the Hole.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Customs re-
ceipts for the entire United States
for February fell off slightly more
than $1O,OOO.OOO as compared with the
same month of 1913. This is by far
the most marked discrepancy in such
receipts from the months of 1913 that
has been noticed since the new tar
iff became law,
Although no official explanation
was forthcoming, It was pointed out
that millions of dollars worth of SUI
gar is in bond in New York, New
Orleans and other ports, held for
weeks to take advantage of the %
per cent reduction in duties in force
today.
Customs officials here, too, called
attention to the fact that, despite
this falling off, the administration
counts upon about $4,000. 900 a year
from the income tax. They are hope
full that the income tax and the in
crease expected from the new cor
poration tax will more than offset
the reduction in customs.
ALI receipts for the current month
of February amounted to $43,633, S57,
compared to $54,SO3,419 in February,

month excea1ed tn receipts by about
