Under the authority of the execu- tive order of President Wilson issued last March, the civil service commis-

Salaries range from 5000 to $500 in these offices To the eligible for ap- pointment, applicants must be citizens Of the United States, must actually eside within the delivery of the of
 ice for which the application is made and must have been such resident at -ae time of the occurrence of the pres ent vacancy, and must be at least twenty-one years of age. Competitors will be tested in the following lines: arithmetic and accounts, penmanship. and letter writing. The grade at tained when considered with the busi- ness training and experience, will de-
 mine which of the competitors will he certified to the president for ap- pointment Maximum age limit, 65 aus. Inquiries directed 70 Clarence F. Craig, local secretary, 260 Federal building, this city, will receive prompt reply and application blanks will be furnished to all who desire them.

work, which will be the establishment of a rigid censorship of such publica- tions
 There are in the United States up- ward of fifteen hundred foreign lan- guage newspapers. Under the new law the publisher of each, before send ing his papers to the postoffice, will be required to file with the postmaster a complete translation of all the articles published These will be com pared with the originals by experts and the mails will be barred to those publications which contain articles that are regarded as against the in terests of the administration in con- ducting the war.
 Conferences are in progress between officials of the war department and the postoffice department with view of applying a mail censorship, to pre- vent information from reaching the enemy by this channel.
 Because the information which the government desires to cut off is of necessity of a military character it has about been agreed that the war department should have control of this censorship. The war department already has control of the telegraph wires over the Mexican border; the navy department is censoring the cable lines.

rice and tropical fruits chiefly the banana While the nations of Latin America are largely meat eaters and perhaps the heaviest consumers of meat in the world, their meals are fairly well balanced by liberal use of the banana and it's first cousin, the plantain, which is always served in those countries at breakfast and din ner The average American hardly realizes what q role this food plays in feeding the masses. It's continued use never jades the appetite. l recall talk ing a trip up the Orinoco river of Venezuela, until we came to the mighty Amazon, in Brazil. Due to the upsetting of our canoe, the supplies and cooking utensils taken aboard at Cindad Bolivar were lost, and for the remainder Of the voyage, occupying several weeks, the five Indians and myself comprising the party, sub sisted entirely on boiled monkey or boiled fish, with boiied wild plantains or boiled bananas When I think of the multitudes in Africa, Asia the East Indies, the West Indies, Mexico and Latin America, whose chief arti- cle of diet is this fruit, to say nothing of those of Europe and this country who are eating it more freely now, am certain that had he estimated the number at 300000,000 he would not have been in error Americans ate 1,S00, ,000, 900 pounds of bananas last year, or about 5,000,000 pounds a day
 Many truthful claims may be made in urging the more liberal use of this genuine food delicacy." Bananas are always wholesome, nutritious cheap easily digested, always in season, all meat, easy to handle. good cooked or raw Nature herme::c.-'y seals them in a dust and germ proof package And, showing all, they are produced without drawing on the nations re- sources, and their importation from our Latin American cousins aids in developing a reciprocal market for our goods.
