drinking coffee and drink Postum in
it's place, as he and his family had
used Postum and found it a powerful
rebuilder and delicious food-drink
Il hesitated for time, disliking the
idea of having to give up my coffee, but
finally got package and found it to
be all the doctor said.
"Since drinking Postum in place OF
coffee my dizziness, blindness and
nervousness are all gone, my bowels

Petty Graft.

The Senate conferees have declined
to accept the House proposal to pare
congressional mileage from 20 cents
TO cents mile. On their part, the
House conferees refuse to recede
from their opposition to private
automobiles for the Speaker OF the
House and the President of the SEN
ate
While it is not essential that the
presiding officers of the two branches
OF Congress enjoy automobiles at the
public's expense. there can be no
vital objection if this governm ent
wants further to dignity these dig
nitarles. 1t gives them finer offices
than the garden variety of Congress
men. Why not autos?
The question of mileage is a diff
ferent one. There is no sound rea-
son TO support the present 90 cents
graciously handed congressman. This
government is rich and does not need
TO be niggardly. Neither does il eed
to be extravagant. A mileage of 5
cents would provide the Representa-
fare. Pullman fare, meals en- route
and all other ordinary comforts. even
to tips. Then he would save money.
The 2O-cent mileage is graft pure
and simple, none the less SO for its
pettiness.
better plan would be to require
congressman to turn in expense ac-
counts when they reached the CAPT.
tai. Then each mans individual ex-
penses could be carefully audited.
liberal allowance made for margin.
and the government not imposed
upon. Even at that, some Congress-
men would find a way to pad the ex-
pense account. But il is likely. if
the publicity feature was added. they
would be more circumspect. and hold
down expenses. as assuredly they
would do if the money came from
their own pockets.
