ALASKA STORIES
 USED IN SCHOOL

Among the outside neWspa- pers running Frank c. Carpen- .ter's serial story of Alaska is the New Orleans Time-sPica- yune. That paper tells of a Louisiana teacher who has adopted Carpenters writing in der school work, says the Ruby Record Citizen.
 In the school geography, . says the Times-Picayune, "very little is told about the great pen insula extending into the north | 'acihc ocean. The history oi the purchase of the territory in the far north is told in brief in the geographies, but real, live stories eatured by details are lacking. The means of supply ing the needed material is now afforded.
 Miss Carrie Leslie, teacher of the seventh grade of the Caren' cro Central school in Lafayette parish, was an experienced read CT of Carpenters travels. She noticed the many points that he brought out, and the exactness and all around excellence pleased her. Therefore, having found that the geography did not teach all that was essential, Miss Les lie quickly adopted Carpenters stories in her school work and now the Alaska travels of the explorer are being used as a sup plement to the study of geog- raphy.

MAKING CHILDREN EAT

Nothing is ever gained by forcing &
child to eat when it refuses food. Make
Hurethat nothing is being eaten between
meals to destroy the natural appetite
and if your growing child does nothave
a healthful craving for good, honest
food at mealtimes there is something
the matter. Threats of punishment if
the child does not eat will not correct
the difficulty.
A fitful appetite in a growing child,
especially if the patient is pale, Ianguid,
nervous, irritable, and without ambi-
tion, usually means that the blood is
thin. A non-alcoholic tonic such as
DR.. Williams Pink Pills is demanded.
During her teens girl lays the foun-
dation for her future health. Lack of
blood at this time may rob her of
robust, healthy womanhood. It is of
the greatest Importance to administer
to girls who grow pale and weak safe
tonic and DIR. Williams Pink Pills
meet every requirement of the most
careful mother. They make the blood
rich and red and it carries renewed
health and strength to every part of the
body.
Your own druggist sells DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. Send today to the
DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec-
tady, N. Y, for the book, "Building
Up the Blood" 1t is free.

counts, a resolution was adopted recon-
mending a general reduction in Inter-

During the afternoon session the
bankers heard from various prominent

could aid in the good roads movement

that good roads for the farmers is

An Ideal Remedy
for Nursing Mothers
Compound of Simple Laxative
Herbs Safe For Baby
and Mother.

Constipation is condition that af-
fects the old, young and middle-aged,
and most people at one time or an
other need help in regulating the action
of the bowels. Harsh cathartics and
purgatives should not be employed to
relieve constipation, as their effect Is
only temporary while they shock the
system unnecessarily.
A remedy that can be used with per-
feet safety for the tiniest babe and
that is equally effective for the strong
est constitution is found in the conf
bination of simple laxative herbs
known as DIR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin
and sold in drug stores everywhere
for fifty cents a bottle. This is an
ideal household remedy and should be

WILSON KILLING
CIVIL SERVICE
Declares He Is Wrecking Merit
System to Establish
Spoils
SReeiaI TO the Telegraph

Washington, May 10. Charges
that the Democratic party under the
Wilson administration has wrecked the
merit system of government service
and prostituted the federal civil 'serv-
ice commission to the demands of
spoils politics was made in the House
to-day by Representative Fess of
Ohio.
During the years from 1883 to
1913" said Mr.. Fess, the civil serv-
ice commission gained real place as
one of the government bureaus. It
was the one commission that stood for
efficiency rather than partisan ad-
ministration. The commission itself
in its personnel was so created Roose-
velt, to avoid partisanship, made it
Democratic, and Taft continued 1t so.
''The advance of the merit system
was constantly supported by the party
in power by legislative enactment. 1t
was loudly proclaimed in the Demo-
cratic platforms every four years.
Gives Wilson's Record
This administration must be judged
by the record it makes. Up to date
it's record on the civil service is as
follows:
June 90, 1913: Technical services
in the office of the supervising archi-
tect exempted from the classified SER
vice. This was rider on an appro-
priation bill.
October 8. 1918: Agents, deputy
collector, inspectors and other en-
ployes in connection with the income
tax exempted from civil service rules.
October %. 1918: Deputy collectors
of internal revenue and deputy United
States marshals exempted from civil
service rules This was a rider upon
an appropriation bill.
December %, 1918: Employees un-
der the federal reserve act, are not in
cluded in the civil service regulations.
July 16, 1914: Commercial at
taches, department of commerce, eX-
empted from regulations of the merit
system, by a rider to an appropriation
bill.
August 1. 1914: Commissioner of
immigration, New Orleans. by a rider
upon an appropriation bill was eX-
empted from the operation of the
merit system.
August l, 1915: Commissioner to
five civilized tribes taken out of the
civil service regulations"
Representative Fess also pointed
out that the entire lists of officers un-
der the rural credits bill, just passed
by the House, are outside the civil
service and that the same tactics are
pursued in the shipping bill.
