oped into the conclusion of a fiat, di-
rect retirement system.
I'm the early days of retirement
systems, inaugurated originally, l sup
pose, by the railroads of the country,
we had the relief system and the sys-
tenn of periodical payments on the
part of the employe. Those systems
have been quite deliberately worked
out, and l have no doubt have been
benefcient in their results. But we
and the most recent systems adopted
by the great corporations of the coun-
try, have evolved beyond this contri-
butory plan and embody program of
fiat retirement
1.-The United States government is
the only government of all the leading
civilized governments in the world that
has no system of retirement for its
superannuated civil service employees.
The custom of practice of all govern
ments, whether National, State or mu-
nicipal, in their dealings with their
people and employees certainly should
furnish some precedent and example
for the Federal government of the
United States. Instead of having the
distinction of taking the lead in this
kind of legislation and setting the eX-
ample to States and municipalities, to
school boards and corporations, we
have invited much harsh criticism and
have not in any way taken the initia-
tive in this kind of legislation for the
relief of the vast army of the employees
under the civil service in the govern
ment."

To be possessed of head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is mere
ly a matter of using little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of 1t. Just
get a rs cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine now-all drug stores rec
ommend it-apply a little as directed
and within ten minutes there will be
an appearance of abundance, fresh
ness, fluffiness and an Incompatible
gloss and lustre, and try as you will
you can not find trace of dandruff or
falling hair; but your real surprise will
be after about two weeks use, when
you will see new hair-fine and downy
at first-yes-but really new hair -
sprouting out all over your scalp -
Danderine is, we believe, the only sure
hair grower, destroyer of dandruff and
cure for itchy scalp and it never falls
to stop falling hair at once.
II you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in Just
a few mom1nts-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this.-Ad-

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incombus-
tible material in the form of ashes, so
the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the ailmentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible mate
rial, which if not completely elimi-
mated each day, becomes food for the
millions of bacteria which infest the
bowels. From this mass of leftover
waste material, toxins and ptomaine-
like poisons, called uric acid, is
formed and then sucked into the
blood where it continues to circulate,
collecting grain by grain in the joints
OF the body much like rust collects on
the hinge as shown above.
Men and women who suffer from
1umbago, rheumatism or sore, stiff,
aching joints should begin drinking
phosphated hot water not as a
means to magic relief from pain, but
to prevent more uric acid forming in
the system. Before eating breakfast
each morning, drink a glass of real
hot water with a teaspoonful of lime

PENROSE HAS
PENSION BILL
Superannuated Employees of
Government Would Be Re-
tired With Annuity

A new form of pension retirement
Tor civilian employees of the govern
ment is provided in a bill which Sem
ator Penrose has just reintroduced in
the Senate. The bill provides that the
Postmaster General shall grant an in
definite leave of absence together with
an allowance of $500 per annum to
any persons employed in the railway
mail service. rural free delivery, city
Tree dellVery service, post office clerks
and other employees of the post office
VINO are in the classified civil service
ana VINO have become incapacitated
from performing their duties on ac-
count of superannuation.
The proposal of Senator Penrose last
year was tackled on the Post Office APP
preparation bill, but was eliminated on
a point of order The bill as now in
troduced provides that should it be
necessary to appoint a substitute to fill
the place OF an employees who has been
granted a leave of absence, he shall
be paid at the rate allowed for vaca-
ton work.
Boards of retirement would be ap-
pointed to examine all applications for
the granting of indefinite leaves of alb
sence, which are virtually equivalent to
retirement program
In discussing his plan in the Senate,
Senator Penrose said:
In the beginning L was opposed to
this proposition. 1t did not seem to
me that the government ought to go
into the business of what has been de-
scribed in term of opprobrium as a
civil pension list Then, after looked
into the matter a little further it SEEM
ed to me that If the government did
adopt a retirement system, accompa-
MED by some half pay or some proper
ton OF pay, the fund should be made
up byscontributions in the nature of a
relief fund or pension fund made by
monthly or periodical payments by the
employees.
Then l got little further. in the
lapse OF years, and l suppose with wise
men 1t is not an evidence of lack of
wisdom to develop and progress and
change ones mind, until | became con-
vinced that the only practical system
was system of fiat, straight direct

the previous days accumulation of
toxins and poisons; thus, cleansing,
sweetening, and freshening the en-
tire alimentary canal, each morning,
before putting more food into the
stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug
store but Is sufficient to make any
rheumatic or lumbago sufferer an en-
thusiast on the morning inside bath.
Millions of people keep their joints
free from these rheumatic acids by
practicing this daily internal SANTA
ton. A glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful OF limestone phosphate,
drank before breakfast, Is wonder
fully invigorating; besides. It is an
excellent health measure because it
cleanses the alimentary organs of all
the waste, gases and sour fern enta-
tions, making one look and feel clean,
sweet and fresh all day.
Those who try this for one week
may find themselves free from sick
headaches, constipation, bilious at
tacks, sallowness, nasty breath and
stomach acidity.
