Higher Pay Advocates.

The Washington Herald today
publishes in its news columns a list
of 264 members of the House of Rep
resentatfves who are on record as
favoring an increase in pay for gov
ernment employees to meet the new
demands raised by the higher cost
of living. OF the 264 Representa-
tives listed, 2o4 are on record as fav-
oring the enactment of Representa-
tive Nolan's bill providing for the
establishment of minimum wage of
s. a day for all government en-
ployes. The remaining sixty favor
salary increases, but in most cases
they advocate methods different from
that proposed by Mr.. Nolan.
This list was procured by Mr.. No
Ian in a poll of the House during the
first session of the present Congress
when the minimum wage bill was
pending. 1t is true that Mr.. Nolan
made the record prior to election
Dut II Is hardly likely the fact that
the campaign has ended will cause
any of those listed to reverse them
selves. On the contrary, the promi-
nence given to the increasing cost of
living since the election probably has
won more advocates in the House
tor higher government salaries.
Perusal of the list of Representa-
t1ves who have told Mr.. Nolan they
favor higher salaries probably will
convince many skeptics that the
higher cost of living has furnished an
argument which Congress cannot ig-
more and that there is an excellent
chance for legislation for the relief OF
the government workers during the
present short session.

Like Clockwork!
(By N. B. Cook, M. d.

The machinery of the body needs to
be oiled, kept in good condition just as
the automobile or bicycle. Why should
the human neglect his own machinery
more than that of his horse or his en-
gine? Yet most people do neglect
themselves. Their tongue has a dark
brown color, skin sallow, breath bad,
yet they fail to see that their machinery
needs attention. Everybody should take
a mild laxative at least once a week. A
pleasant way to clear the tongue and
the highly colored water noticed in the
mornings is to take a laxative which
will cure the inactive liver and bilious
ness.
A pleasant vegetable pill is made up
of May-apple. leaves of aloes, and
jalap, made into a tiny pellet and
coated with sugar. First put up by DR..
Pierce nearly so years ago. Druggists
sell these vegetable pellets in vials, sim
ply ask for DR.. Pierce's Pleasant

or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, gout or sciatica, if you
suspect that you have kidney or blad-

valids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y, send a
sample of urine, and describe symp-
toms. A physician and chemist will ex-
anime it without charge and you will

the kidneys of impurities and puts
strength into them.

Best seryiee Celnmn in Cify.

The War Department has granted per-
mission TO the enlisted men Of the Walter
Reed General Hospital at Takoma Park.
y. C.. to continue In force q plan whereby
the laundry work Is done by a local
laundry company.
The commanding officer at the hospital
recently directed to the department an
inquiry as to whether the plan violated
the post exchange regulation proyidine
that the post exchange is not authorised
to act as agent for a private laundry"
As the arrangement appeared to be
unob5ectionable to the service and In
the interest Of men at the post where
there Is no post laundry, the department
has decided that the plan may be con-
tinued In operation.
The Marine Corps has not yet decided
definitely upon a type of machine gun.
1t is awaiting the final report Of the
machine gun board recently recalled by
Secretary of War Baker to reconsider
its first recommendations for the Inn
mediate purchase of 1900 heavy Vickers
water-cooled guns instead of the light
portable type.
The organization Of the machine gun
units of the Marine Corps Is said to
differ from that of the army. The
former corps has been guided by the
reports from Europe and tntenos TO nave
thirty machine guns per thousand men
instead OF twelve to a regiment of 1.5oo
which is the army plan. The Marine
Corps has been basing all its plans on
the adoption of a light, portable gun
similar to the Lewis air-cooled weapon
Congress will be asked by the Navy
Department to appropriate funds for the
construction Of underground storage
reservoirs for the navy's fuel-oil supply
It Is believed this plan would protect the
fuel oil from attack by an enemy. Al
estimate of 81, ,0OO. 900 for additiona storage
space will provide storage at Guant'
anamo. Pearl Harbor, Puget Sound, san
Diego, Mare Island, and Melville. R.
The six stations mentioned now have
surface tank oil capacity of abou'
80. 10000 gallons, and the proposed pro.
ject will increase the supply by 5s.Ooo.oo'
gallons There has been no work done
on surface storage plants this year. az
It was desired to obtain more money ano
settle the underground storage proposi.
ton. 1t Is proposed to store 6oo.ou
gallons of oil at Guantanamo, S.o'N
gallons at Pearl Harbor, 100000 gallons
at Puget Sound. 100000 gallons at SaI
Diego, 100000 gallons at Mare Island
and 5000, 900 gallons at Melville.

The Colonel is quite right when he in
sists that his friend ''the average man"
would not remain morally obtuse II he
could be shown in convincing fashion
where his duty lay" The average man
did not need to be shown where his
duty lay, and he was not morally OBJ
tuse. From his point of view the Roose-
velt-old Guard operation was just as
morally offensive in its way as the Ger
man operation in Belgium. One was a
shameless proceeding under the pretext
Of political necessity. and the other was
shameless proceeding under pretext
OF military necessity. Having obtained
his moral bearings in the matter. "The
average man" proceeded on November 2
to do the things which have produced in
Theodore Roosevelt ''the disappointment,
that "is naturally keen."-New York

nothing else would satisfy.
Tnsn n msttered not the token, once the
purchase had been bade.
It was smuggled home and hidden and
with other treasures laid.
And We placed our present proudly in her
lap ON Christnas Day,
And We smothered her with kisses and
We laughed her tears away.
It never comes to Christmas but I think

All food is now high priced, but the
highest priced of all Is the diamond
back terrapin. The Baltimore American
explains that full-grown terrapin
makes just about four good portions, but
not a meal, for other edibles are usually
served with it. The American says that
the terrapin costs in the neighborhood
Of 80. 1t is not said whether this means
so to the caterer or SO to the consumer;
but suppose 1t is the price to the con-
sumer; then this feast starts out al
$3.50 a plate, and nothing said as to wines
or other accessories. 1t must be admit
ted that terrapin travels on the ridge

Higher Salaries Asked.

After a recess of less than three
months, the final session of the Six
ty-fourth Congress was convened
yesterday and the task of enacting
a veritable mountain of legislation
was begun.
The most interesting feature of the
first day of the session was the sub
mission to Congress by Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo of the esti-
mates of the money that will be need
ed for the conduct of Federal and
District governments for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1918
For the Federal government the
great amount of $I,6548Io,654 was
asked. This sum is $4,000, 900 in
excess of the estimates for the pres
ent year. For the District govern
ment $1,000, ,oo2 was asked. This sum
is 100000 in excess of the estimates
for the current year. 1t is evident
that the high cost of living has be-
come an important factor in the
household of Uncle Sam.
Study of the estimates reveals that
a large percentage of the increases in
the estimates are due to recommenda-
tions to Congress for higher salaries.
The Commissioners of the District
are prominent among those for whom
increases are asked. The Commits
sioners now are paid $1,000 a year and
they ask for an increase in salary of
$3.50 each, which, if granted, will
raise their compensation to the level
of that received by members of the
Senate and House.
There is no doubt that it is diff
cult for a man occupying the position
of Commissioner to meet the demands
on his pocketbook on a salary of
$1,000, but the man who receives that
amount has not been as hard hit by
the increasing living cost as the man
WHO receives less. Congress prob
ably will take this fact into considera-
tion and is likely to give more atten-
ton to the recommendations for in
creases for the small-salaried employe
than to recommendations for in
creases for those whose salaries are
sufficient to guarantee them against
actual privation.
The failure of the Commissioners
to recommend a horizontal increase
in salary for all government employees
is certain to cause much disappoint-
ment, especially among those whose
salaries in connection with a much
higher living cost have been reduced
to want. The Commissioners have
recommended more pay for a large
number of District employees, but
have ignored many who are in the
greatest need and whose compensa-
tion is most inadequate for the ser
vices they render.
The same policy has been followed
by the executives in the different
branches of the Federal government,
Instead of advocating a horizontal
increase they have recommended ad-
vances in pay only in individual cases.
If all of the increases in salary that
have been asked are granted Con-
gress will do much for the relief of
the government workers, but the only
way by which full justice can be done
is to provide for horizontal increase
in salaries for all government en-
ployes.
