Government Will Hold
StenOgraphers' Examination

A civil service examination in stem
ography and typewriting will be given
on the evening of Thursday, Dec. 6
by the civil service examiner at the
rooms of the Capital business college
In order to complete the examination
in one evening the work will begin at
Z O'Clock.
Those taking the examination just
for stenography and typewriting or for
typewriting alone, need not necessarily
be examined in spelling, penmanship,
letter writing or arithmetic. One may
be rated just for stenography and
again for typewriting, or both. Those
making the average of 10 per cent are
certified on to Washington and when
help is needed, the call for service
comes from Washington with orders
where to report.
Those making a record under 20 per
cent, and even as low as 40 per cent
will be put on the list as clerks, aud
will have a chance for civil service
job If the applicant fails in typewrit-
ing, there is still chance for an ap-
pointment as stenographer. The fact is
the government needs about 10000
stenos and typists and the woman that
makes a fair average may get a job
at from $75 to 800 a month.

Start Tomorrow

Every Morning
Get In the habit of drinking a
glass Of hot water before
breakfast.

We're not here long, so let S make
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest we'll, work well, sleep
well, and look well, what a glorious
lcondidon to attain, and vet, how very
easy it is if one viii only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
Iean, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluiees Of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should. each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
anmentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases, waste and acid
ity and gives one a splendid appetite
for breakfast. While veu are enjoying
your breakfast the water and phos-
phate is quietly extracting a large vol
ume of water from the blood and get
ting ready for a thorough flushing Of
all the inside organs
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation. bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
siekly compilations are urged to get
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient TO make
anyone a pronounced crank on the
subject Of inside bathing before break

A CHEERING OMEN

While the Americans had part in the drive which
has sent the Hndenburg line smashed into the discard it
is undoubtedly true that the presence Of American troops
to the number of couple of hundred thousand hearened
the British and gave them confidence Apparently the
British have been afraid to advance and follow up their
gains they did in the latest smash Not that the in
dvidual bravery lacking for British valor has been
tested too often and found wanting permit
such thought but that the leaders feared trap
loss that would weaken their defense to the danger
point This fear the advent of the Americans has re-
moved 1t happy that with the addition of the
American troops the greatest victory has been won If
this is the result of moral aid what will happen when the
boys in khaki get into action along with their allies?

"I Just dropped book on my sore

II went to milk the cows, and sat

Saccharine is the sweetest substance
In the world. 1t is $50 times sweeter
than cane sugar, and is extensively
used in jellles and preserves, as well
as in the diet of persons who cannot
stand sugar. :

experiments In the laboratory.

sen wrote. ''would unhesitatingly have

usless, and 1 may add that some dfd

thought entertained by us that any

saccharinc was the result and 1t Is now
extensively manufactured.
This incident Is one of many an
swers TO the plea that all education

HATCHING IS "GREAT STRAIN
Lice Working Unmoiested While Her
Is Sitting Is Most Responsible
for Poor Condition.

The average poultry man will say that
Matching is great strain" on a hen,
and the condition of some of the birds
on finishing their matches seems to bear
out this statement. But the harm done
by the lice working unmolested while
her mOtherly instinct keeps the hen
busy is more responsible for her run
down condition than the energy re-
quired in the actuel work of incubating
the eggs.
The dusting with lice powder should
be done not only ut the beginning Of
the hatch, but about once week
throughout the sitting period.

That the Cossacks should have been
the first of the Russians to win through
by roads deemed impossible Is no mat
ter for surprise to anyone familiar with
the Cossack's horse. He Is small, with
short, thick head and neck and .
sloping back, but what he lacks in size
he makes up In sense. To weather and
climate he is alike Indifferent, and does
not miss farm stable, because that
is luxury he never had. lie will
thrive where any other horse would
starve, and relishes food that a goat
would scorn. His rider will tetler him
on q snow-covered plain and he will
get his own food by scraplng aside the
snow to get at the reindeer mosa. And
so docile Is he that he will form a
breastwork for his master to fire over,
or cover incredible distances on the
shortest Of commons.

laying is largely an individual char
acteristic. Many prefer the Bronze
and generally this breed by far ogt'
numbers the others on the holiday
market.
The Bronze turkeys are close de-
scendants of the American wild tlg-
key, which is still found in some parts
of our country. The young of the
domesticated birds soon show ten
dency to wander in search of food.
They can fly to an astonishing height
when IT becomes necessary.
The young turkeys do not bear con.
finement well. For anything like sat.
isfactory results they should range in
the fields and pastures. They are very
useful in keeping down insects that
destroy crops, and many farmers
wives have sold enough turkeys dur
ing the season preceding the holidays
to provide comforts and conveniences
for the home.

Uric cAcid!

Ever since the discovery Of Scheele in
1775 that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing, symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, gout, etc.
II was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent
called Anuric, a harmless remedy
that if taken before meals will carry off
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
joints and all the distressing symptoms
OF rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. You can easily prove this ycur-
self, by obtaining Anuric ut almost any
drug store. or send DIR. Pierce l0c. FOR
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than litha and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.

BRONZE TURKEY BEST KNOWN
Male Bird Of Breed Sometimes
Reaches Enormous Sire--Do Not
Bear Confinement Well.

The largest and perhaps the best
known of the domesticated turkey Is
the Bronze. sometimes called the Nam
moth Bronze. The male bird Of this
breed reaches an enormous size some
times. The standard weight for the
tom is SO pounds and for the hen 20
pounds.
Generally the heavier weights are
found among the breeding birds, and
are not for sale. As matter Of ex-
perience breeders find that the great
est demand for the holiday trade Is for
the smaller birds suitable for din
ner for an ordinary family.
The plumage Of the Bronze is very
attractive. The feathers are bronze or
dull black with bands Of white across
The bronze tint gives pleasing color
effects.
One common objection has been that
the Bronze hen Is not very good
layer. But It Is generally found that
