Director Joseph E. Ralph of the bu-

presses his hope that those employed
under him will be given the benefit of

this in spite Of economic difficulties,
the prospect of reduced production or
increased expense due to the fact that
the bureau is a manufacturing plant
on different pay basis than are other
government Offices.

opinion, he comments, ARE required
to perform more arduous duties than
in any of the clerical departments. and

Director Ralph explains that the pro-

provide for this he would regard 1t as

MR.. LANSING |SOUT
FOR HALF HOLIDAY
Recommends Short Saturday
All Year in Report Sent
to President.
PRAISES HIS SuB0RDINATES

Secretary Lansing has adopted the
Recommendation of Chief Clerk Davis
of the Department of State In favor Of
halliday Saturday holiday all the
f, year round, and has sent a report to
/ that effect to the President at Shadow
Lawn.
{ The Secretary's letter was not made
! public, but it is understood he based
, his recommendation for the Saturday
half holiday. mainly on the ground that
! the clerks and messengers in the State
Department were faithful and efficient
and always met the frequent calls for
extra work after hours without COM
. plant. and needed short holiday once
, a week, for recreation and health.
Secretaries Baker and Daniels are out
| of the city taking part in the political
campaign and have not yet replied to
the Presidents request for their views
on the advisability Of applying the
legal half holiday in the District to
the War and Navy Departments
throughout the year.
But Two Dissenting Views.
In advance Of the transmission yes
terday of Secretary McAdoo's letter to
the White House favoring the year
round Saturday half holiday for fed
eral employees. every bureau and di-
vision chief of the Treasury Depart
ment. save two, had gone on record as
favoring the half holiday extension.
The exceptions are the controller of the
currency. John Shelton Williams. and the
director Of the mint. F. H. ]. Won Engel-
ken.
Controller Williams does not favor
the idea, in view of the fact that he
has asked for additional clerks in the
estimates for this year. and that the
working time of his Office would be re-
duced per cent by the operation Of a
year-round Saturday half holiday.
Il do not see how could consistently
recommend the granting Of the Satur
day half holiday" he says. 1T seems
to me that seven hours day, with a
half holiday on Saturday for three
months in the summer, is not an un-
reasona BILE working schedule, especially
IN view of the numerous other holidays
allowed during the year. ;
The director of the mint Is opposed to
an extension Of the Saturday half holi- |
days unless those who benefit thereby |
compensate the government by making up |
the time during the other days OF the |
week He Is conscientiously opposed to |
ment clerks He cites the long hours Of
labor that were exacted Of him in the |
past to establish a contention that the |
government clerks are most leniently |
treated in this respect.

PAINLESS ELECTRICITY

ITO hold piece of steel which
mets like butter upon touching an
other piece of metal caused BY thou
sands of volts OF electricity going
through the body without even being
felt is astonishing. This and many
other wonderful demonstrations are
shown at The Electro Medical lnStl-
tute in proof of the fact that modern
electrical treatments are painless and
harmless. These are the wonderful!
machines that are accomplishing such
wonderful results for patients, OF The

MODERN METHODS
FOR AILING MEN
SEEKING RELIEF

II is estimated that one Of every
eieh, men suffers from Hernia tRup-
ture)-a vast majority Of these 60
ing through life so afflicted in dread
of the knife, which they have been
so often told is their only means Of
relief.
The Electro-Me Doctors do
not operate for this affliction. for
they have had exceptional success
by a non-sursical method of treat
ment which not only is practically
painless, but does not require the de-
tention from business of the patient,
and this method does not comprise in
jecting a semi-solid or paraffine injec-
ton, which has long since proven un-
satisfactory. Not all ruptures are cur
able, but such percentage that this
modern treatment method is worthy
the attention Of such sufferers who
are always welcomed at the Electro
Medical offices for personal. private
consultation regarding their condition.
Rectal troubles, including hemor-
rhoids and other painful and distress
ing conditions, yield readily TO The
ElectroMedical Treatment, and the
cost for treatment is so moderate that
no ailing man should hesitate TO visit
them for treatment.
Kidney, bladder and such troubles
may have more complications than are
presented. by other diseased organs,
but under careful, proper treatment
these conditions are seldom as serious
as they appear to the one afflicted.
Another source of distress 10 the
sufferer is-blood poison. Blood pois-
oning requires not only knowledge Of
the disease-but the ability TO proper
~ administer the treatments which in
some cases require the famous sos
and "91t" treatment originated by DR..
Paul Ehrlich, the deceased European
Scientist, winner of the Nobel prize.
These remedies are also known as
"Salvarsan" and "Neo Salvarsan.'
The ills of men are too numerous
to mention-but whatever the attllc-
ton, modern treatment awaits the
sufferer at The Electro-Medical lnstl--
tute comprising the entire second
floor at 112I Market ST.. which has
practically every modern electrical
treatment device for the benefit OF
| the sick, in addition TO a special drug
la oora1ory maintained at the institute
for the special benefit OF patients.

The Flectro-M Medical Doctors agree
to accept one dollar as payment IN
ful for their regular $40 medical eX-
animation, which includes where re-
ouired the X-Ray. Blood-pressure test
and chemical analysis. This Will give
every sufferer a chance 10 obtain a
scientific diagnosis Of his or her con-
dition, after which the sick person
can really know what can be done
with the modern Electro Medical sys-
tenn of treatment in their own par
ticular case. 1t does not mean that
every case will be accepted for treat
ment, as only cases that are curaDle
or those that can be greatly beneht'
ted are accepted for treatment. Inc
doctors desire. however. those many
who have never quite understood the
wonderful efficiency OF electrical
treatment combined with amedicines
TO unhesitalingly call upon them re-
eardless Of their own personal feel
ings OF the durability or their case. as
few cases are as hopeless as they
seem.
Tn examination is the most imnor-
tant part of the proceedings when Il
sufferer calls at the Electro. Medical
Doctors Institute. While il costs
but one dollar to those calling al tho
institute during the next seven days,
vet the examination is. made as thor
ough and as accurate as if Inc pa
tient had paid the regular nxamina-
ton charges in full. After tho dag
nosis is made the mode nf treatment
is determind 1t is never aarSh drugs
or dangerous poiso1s. That IS the old
way. but science has proven that cleo.
tricity, serums, antitoXins and mild
medicines are best. The great physi-
clans of today are learning the trend
of medicine is away from drugs. The
most delicate man. woman or child
need have no fear either OF having
an N-Ray examination made or Of TAX
ing electrical treatments. The N-Ray
and electrical treatments are harm
less painless and safe in the hands
OF experts. They are totally unlike
the old shocking currents used in the
; old days.
