BOARD HOLDS NO MEETINGS
President Decides All Questions for
Members, but Never Calls Them
In for a Conference.

There Is no more familiar title
among government departments than
the board of trade. 1t seems to be res
.sponsible for all kinds of things and
all sorts of undertakings and happen
lings. 1t will find you ehairwoman or
negotiate commercial treaty. 1t con-
sists of q president and large num-
Der of members among whom are
reckoned the Archbishop of Canter-
bury and the speaker of the house Of
commons, writer In London Tit-Bits
states.
BY law these members have right
TO be called to discuss questions OF
trade and to help the president TO shape
his policy, yet the fact remains no meet
dngs are ever held The president
never dreams of calling his committee
together. He does much as he likes,
comes to his own decisions, and then
announces that "the board thinks so
and So"
One wonders what would happen IL
the archbishop or some other member
were to insist upon being consulted,
this this surprising method OF doing
business should cease.
The board of trade does not stand
alone. Every school-teacher in the
land knows TINT my lords" say this
and "my lords" rule that. Their full
title is "the lords of the committee of
the prlvy council of education;" but
they never meet, and the vice presi-
dent would probably be puzzled to
name half-dozen Of them. Mr.. Fish
er and his predecessors rule without
"my lords" but In their name. Thus
do they get credit for the good they
do and are a refuge In the day of
storm.

HIGH COST IN WASHINGTON
Houses and Apartments Rent at Fab
uIUus PrIces--one Woman Prom
lses Ordinary Wear and Tear.

Two women sat ut local theater
the other night. They were dressed
"flt to KILL" in the good old Hoosier
idlom, and wore diamonds galore,
writes Charles e. Tracewell In Wash
ington Star.
They were talking about the subject
of rents, topic of absorbing interest
in Washington just now when house
or apartment of any kind is difficult
to obtain for love or money.
1t has been a matter Of gossip that
many wealthy people have come to
Washington recently, and that many
OF these have rented furnished houses
and apartments at fabulous rates.
The two women at the theater were
discussing this very thing. What was
more, one of them was one of those
wealthy ones in question, Judging from
what she said.
"You know, my DEAR" she was say
ing to the other, II won't say I'm 60.
Ing to use an ak, but"-she smiled
slgnificantly-"when my lease Is over"
and she smiled again--''well, there

tear, my dear, there Is going to be

Diversity Of Equipment.

The first thing to be done for the
new army was to provide them with
shelter and clothing, food and
warmth. That large undertaking Is
all but accomplished. Equally great
is the task of providing arms. To arm
an infantry division in the Civil war
meant to provide as many muskets and
as many bayonets rs there were men
In the command. In the present war
the job is more complicated. There are
rifles and bayontts to be furnished
now as formerly, but there are also
grenades and gasmasks and helmets
and trench mortars to be seen to. Each
of the four infantry regiments In di-
vision must have $50 trench knives,
1912 automatic rifles and three one
FOUNDER cannon.
The 76S men OF the machine gun
battalion and the 5,t6S men OF the feid
artillery brigade mist have machine
guns and three-inch guns In numbers
that would stagger an artillerlst even
of so recent period as the war with
Spain.
Two hundred and stventy-five thou
sand troops were made ready to fight
Spain in 1898, though only 10000 OF
them were actually engaged.

PROVEN SWAMP ROOT
AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and
leave the system in a rundown condition.
The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al
most every victim complains of lame back
and urinary troubles which should not be
neglected, as these danger signals often
lead to more dangerous kidney troubles
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which, SO
many people say, soon heals and strength
ems the kidneys, is a splendid kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, and, being
an herbal compound, has a gentle heal
ing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who use it.
A trial will convince anyone who may
be in need of it. Better get bottle from
your nearest drug store, and start treat
