DOINGS AT
THE CAPITAL
Congressman Mitchell of
Massachusetts to Be
U. S. Marshal
POSTOFFICE
EXAMINATIONS.
President Wants More DEM
ocratic Fourth-Class
PostmaSters

Washington Dec 2S.-President viii
son is expected to send the nomination
of Representative John j. Mitchell o
Massachusetts, to the Senate this weel
as United States marshal for the district
OF Massachusetts. Attorney Genera
Gregory has written both the Massachu
sets senators asking whether the nom.
nation will be acceptable to them
Neither Senator Weeks nor Senator
Lodge it is understood, will interpose
objection.
Republicans will not be permitted to
settle down permanently in great num-
bers of fourthclass postoffces, if the
department can prevent it. In that con-
nection, recent directions for more ex-
aminations are of some moment. Or
ders have gone forth for more eligibles
and the examinations will be conducted
to that end. The department is claim
ing right to three elgibles to select
postmaster for each fourth-class Office.
1t seems the civil service commission,
after extended deliberation, will take
the departments view
Only the other day requests for re
examinations were made in 90 odd
fourth-class postoffices in Maine, scat
tered over the entire state. During the
past week First Assistant Postmaster
General Daniel c. Roper has written
Democrats in Congress from California
that denominations will be held in
their districts. 1t is understood there
are many other like cases Here is
copy of letter sent by Mr.. Roper to
one Democratic congressman:
1T is necessary for various service
reasons to seek other lists of eligibles
from which to appoint fourth-class post
masters at the offices named below
list of offices accompanies the original
letter in each easel. Notices of examina
ton or of visiting postoftice inspectors
will be posted in the offices TO which
they relate within the next few days
and examina tions will be held between
the 10th and both of January.
1T is hoped that extensive publicity
can be given these notices in order that
all who may desire to take the examine.
tons may be permitted to do so. Sub
sequent to the examinations and not lat
er than Feb. Is, 1915, the department |
will be pleased to receive from you any |
suggestions or information regarding the |
eligibles permissible under the civil serv-
ice rules and regulations which you may |
desire to submit"
The long and the short of this latest
move is that the department wishes 10
get more Democrats into the fourth-class
postofiices. There has been little local
interest in many OF these offices. particu-
larry where the salary is less than $500
a year. Often Republican encumbents
have qualified in the civil service exam
without much, if any, competi.
tion. In other instances members of L
their families have taken the examina-
lions. But with larger eligible lists, It
is feasible for the department to take
the second or the third candidate. a.
ranked in the examinations. Democratic
are being duly notified that
they may sound the word through their
districts and that Democratic constitu.
ents may govern themselves accordingly.

MANY great events have come
wi about purely by accident 1t
= was by accident that Thomas
Kingsford discovered the art of maxi
ing starch from Indian corn. 1t was
by accident that Westfeld, Mass, a
typical little New England town of
broad streets and tall elms, became
noted as the Pure Food Capital of
America-and this e how it happened.
One night, about ten years ago,
little party of Normal School girls
Westheld is the home of the Massa-
chusetts State Normal, you know
gave a midnight spread. Each girl
brought along some special article of
food to fill out the feast. Strawberry
jam was among the contributions. of
who ever heard OF
schoolgirls repast without jam?-and
all the iris ate of it.
The next day there was an unusual
absent roll" and on inquiry it was
found that every one of the girls who
had participated in the midnight
luncheon was i'll.
Now, it happened that there was

Candies, soft drinks, cakes, pies and
other varieties of bakers goods were
examined, all forming basis for in
tercsting and valuable chemical work.
The Investigations read like a ro-
nance, a romance which is true and
which has added much to the health
of this nation.
After the jam episode already re-
ferred to, the housewives of this good
old New England to yn began to de-
mani information concerning their
iellies, pickles and prese yes which
they had locally purchased. The in
formation was ven freely and soon
became the talk of the town.
The women of Westfeld were amazed
to learn of the things they had been
feeding their families as foods. The
chemical laboratory was fairly deco
rated with gay-colored banners and
streamers dyed from the fast colors"
the girls had extracted from the food
samples collected. Normal School
girls who would scorn to use paint on
their faces were surprised to learn

that they were consuming all manner
Of paints" in their foods. Some rather
neat and very substantial cabinet work
was done by Professor Allyn with the
furniture glue extracted from marsh
mallows. A butcher knife was copper
plated with the sulphate of copper
contained in can OF peas Samples

no almond extract at all, but we're

years ago.
A husband was sickened and his
wife died after partakirg from bottle
labelled Creme de Meuthe. The re-
manning contents of the bottle were
sent to the laboratory and found to
be deadly poison A woman died after
taking a headache powder, which the
resultant analysis showed to contain
acetanilid. Arsenic was found IN
candy. Cases OF blindness we're traced
to wood alcohol poisoring Alum was
found in baking powders, and all the
deadly line of chemical colorngs and
preservatives, aniline dyes, benzoate Of
soda, sulphuric acid, fannie sc.d, boric
acid, shellac, benzoic acid beading oils,
soap bark, and ethers wee discovered
in foods and beverages Analysed.
Such are some OF the things which
so aroused the people of Westfeld.
And that is how Wesiheld became
pure food town, model which many
towns and cities in many parts Of the
world are now striving to emulate.

YULE'TIDE.

The old noise festival of
Yule was held in December
in honor of the sun-wheel.
For twelve days the celebrat-
ion went on. These days
were holy; and during this
time, the Gods would often
visit the earth, it was believed
Later, when the noise were
christianized, the festival gave
way to Christmas, but with
many of the old customs re-
tanned in the Christmas cele-
bration.
The trimming with holly
and mistletoe; and the drink
ing Of wassail are old customs
which survive from pagan
times.

VALUE OF A cHILD's GIFTS
Those Made With Their Own Hands
Teach Good Lessons and
Give Inspiration.

II we stop to think about our
Christmas giving we realize that a
gift means more to the giver than it
does to him who receives. If it is
given in the proper spirit the donor
finds out to the full that it is really
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive," fact that is lost sight of in
an age of the commercial spirit.
With children there is a great edu-
cative value in their present giving
If it is encouraged to be really their
own giving. II the mother, however.
simply prepares some little remem-
brance, and says Mary, this is your
Christmas present to Aunt Ellen" the
gift has no meaning in the thoughts
OF the young giver And not only
has it no meaning, but it becomes
actually harmful for the reason it pre-
sents the idea to the child that the
gift without the giver is really a gift
And the child has put no thought or
self sacrifice into the giving of that
present.
On the other hand, II the child be
given pocket money which it may con-
slider its very own, or, better still, If
1t is enabled to earn pocket money and
Is then encouraged to set aside a por-
ton of its very own money for pres
ent making the idea of true giving is
acquired. The sacrifice, the fore
thought, the love necessary to make a
gift real gift are there.
The homemade gifts of children
have many valuable lessons to teach
the young givers. Many lessons in
sewing, raff1a, bead-work or painting
may be given under the guise of MAX
ing gift. In one family, where the
elder sister had never made gifts.
and really never learned to sew well
until she was eighteen years of age.
the younger sister, a girl of ten, in
spired by the example of a small
friend, wished to make birthday gifts
for her family. Once she asked her
mother to teach her how to crochet;
another time to scallop, and before
she was twelve years old she had be-
come as proficient a little seamstress
as one would want to see.
Thus practical lessons are learned.
while the child is inspired with the
idea that mot what we give. but
what we share; the gift without the
giver is bare"
