SPOILS OF OFFICE.

REPRESENTATIVE Good, Of Iowa, who has been
looking into the civil service examinations for
postmasters in presidential postofices, IS still
camping on the trail of the farce, as he calls
It, and again asserts that the appointments are
Dolitical under the guise of nonpartisanship.
One case brought to Mr.. Goods attention was
the six-thousand-do Office at Worcester,
Mass, where there were twenty-three appi-
.ants but only two examined. A post
office inspector was chiefly responsible for the
examination and an active young democrat was
named, after the assistant postmaster who had
been trained in the service for years was turned
down on the plea that he hadn't had requisite
experience.
One may well believe there is in official life
at Washington supreme adherence to the adage
t.To the victors belong the spols, civil serv-
ice or no civil service.

Three Pounds of SUGAR.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: Ameri-
cans probab bly, consume more sweets
than any other people, and the month
ly ration of three pounds of sugar per
person ordered by the food admins
tration will hit them hard. This is a
larger ration than the English, French
and Italians get, however, and it ought
to be cheerfully accepted. The effects
may not be felt so much in domestic
use, although large consumers of cake
and buildings will have to restrain
their appetites. But that peculiarly
American institution, the soda foun-
tain, will suffer greatly. The makers
of candies and soft drinks must submit
to a so per cent. cut in sugar, the max
ers Of ice cream to Is per cent. cut,
With the hot weather coming on this
will seem like a real hardship to many
people. Yet it is a very small one i'm
comparison with what the men at the
front are enduring. And it might be
consoling to reflect that we shall
really be better off If we refrain from
combating the thermometer by the in
ternal application of ice cold pallia-
tives.

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
THE SONG OF THE SEA WIND.

THE SONG OF THE SEA WIND.
How it sings, sings, SINGS
Blowing sharply from the sea line,
With an edge of salt that stings;
How it laughs aloud and passes,
AS it cuts the close cliff grasses;
How it sings again, and whistles
AS it shakes the stout sea thistles-
How it sings!
How it shrieks, shrieks, shrieks
In the crannies of the headland,
In the grasses of the creeks;
How it shrieks once more and catches
Up the yellow foam in patches;
How it whirls it over and over
To the corn field and the clover
How it shrieks!
How it roars roars, roars,
In the iron under-caverns,
In the hollows of the shores;
How it roars anew and thunders,
AS the strong hull splits and sunders;
And the spent ship, tempestdriven,
On the reef lies rent and rven-
How it roars!
How it walls, walls walls,
In the tangle Of the wreckage,
In the Tapping of the sails;
How it sobs away, subsiding,
Like a tired child after Gliding;
And across the ground swell rolling
Won can hear the bell buoy tolling-
How it walls!

METRIC SYSTEM REJECTED.

By the unanimous votes of its nineteen mem
bers the British committee on commercial and
industrial policy after the war, which has been
studying the subject for two years, has re-
ported against the adoption Of the metric sys-
tenn The arguments and reasons are as
weighty in the United States as in Great Britain
where they are held to be conclusive. 1t would
take many years and enormous cost to install the
metric system in factory equipment and instru-
ments We should be surrendering to Ger
many the advantage our manufacturers now en-
joy; and probably other news would be re-
ceived with greater satisfaction in Berlin than
that one of her greatest of commercial rivals
had thus handicapped itself on the eve of a
struggle for the trade Of the world Even the
alleged theoretical merits of the metric system
are more than doubtful and widely and strong
" denied No country has ever used it, unless
it has been forced upon it by penalties imposed
for its evasion; and even then the old units
have been persistently employed. Had the new
system been superior it would have been
adopted on it's merits; and the British commit
tee is satisfied that the practical objections to
the change decisively outrank any advantages
that are claimed in its behalf.

CAI,ORIES AND THE LIKE.

Who has not found the talk, OF which there
has been so much of late years, about food and
it's functions, calories, metabolism kinetlc en-
ergy of edibles and all the sounding Jargon OF
dietetics a trifle tiresome at times? Who has
not wondered if not much of it anything
more than the profitless speculations of erudite
investigators who never thought OF counting
Galleries or figuring on carbohydrates when
they were hungry but simply sat down like or
binary people and ate what they wanted, what
was set before them or what they could get?
Far be it from us to decry these learned delivers
into the availability of nutrients who know to
a fraction of unit how much of protein is to
be found in goose or squash and how much
marmalade Or macaroni, casein or myosln a
postman on sx-mile route must eat in order
to keep his muscular tissue at par. They have
discovered lot of substances that were never
known before, and have given them names that
fit them quite well, perhaps, as any others
would. But who has not suspected that their
dietary schemes worked out more beautifully IN
books than on the table and were better to
write about than to live by?
recent lecture has led to these reflections
The lecturer admitted that the caloric system OF
measuring food values has gone to the scientific
junk heap, and explained in a most convincing
manner how animal food Of some kind is abso-
lutely necessary to build up animal tissues and
how vegetable oils and fats, so-ca1led, can
never take their place. We must go, we are
told, to the COW the sheep for our vitality
and other things essential to our physical well
being. If want fat we must go after 1t
where it exists, and there is no trace of it in
corn, cabbage carrots and the like. But where,
then, does the corn-fed pig get his fat? And
where does the CRASHED COW get hers? And it
might be pertinent to inquire how Nebuchad-
nezzar kept in fair condition he did while
turned out to pasture for seven years?
It would be folly to disparage scientists who
know 50 many things the common run of us do
not. We did not know that we had carotid,
coccygeal or thy1nus bodies and twenty other
anatomical mechanisms until they told us; and
in time they might be able to make plausible
guess as to the functions these perform. Per
haps they might even find out what helps to
transmute COW food into fat. All honor to sci
ence; but human instinct and experience go for
something also; and some of the rosiest mona
genarians we ever knew never heard Of calories
but ate what their appetites craved, when
they could get it, and flourished like green bay
trees

CARTHAGE, ILL, JUNE 2e.

The first annual meeting of the
Home Improvement association proved
to be a wonderful success, being the
best body of women ever assembled
In the city, because representatives
from the different townships were
present. and the feeling of good fellow
ship existing, proved that the women
are forming a single unit in order to
best accomplish the work laid out by
The association for the conservation
of food and the furtherance of home
problems, which are not only of vital
Importance to the women of our land,
but to the whole community general
ly. The majority of the women were
present for the MONDAY luncheon.
given by the members of the c. w. B.
M, at the Christian church, which
was delightful affair. A toast pro-
gram had been arranged, but owing
to the funeral services of John Guilt
which were to be held at the church
in the early afternoon, it was neces-
sary TO carry out that part of the pro-
gram at the Lutheran church, where
the afternoon meeting was scheduled
The invitation to the dinner and meet
ing was general, there being present
many guests besides the members of
the association. The first part of the
program at the Lutheran church was
devoted to the business session, and
the perfecting Of a permanent organi-
cation, with the election of officers as
follows: Mrs. Hamil Graham of Den
yer, as president; Mrs. Samuel Talbot
OF Saint Mary's as vice president:
Miss Varrie Merrill of Carthage as
secretary: Mrs. Fred Salm Jr, Of Nau.
VOC, treasurer and Mrs. S. NJ Parr of
Carthage, director at large. These
ladies were unanimously elected, prov
ing their popularity and fitness for
the various offices. Mrs. Hamil era
ham presided at the meeting. Dr.
Eleanor Gordon of Hamilton, spoke on
The Woman Patriot, defining who the
patriotic women of this community
are and in all sections of the country,
stating that the woman patriot was
one who would deny herself and work
for the good of the cause, forgetting
herself in her work, disregarding fash
ions and fads, and entertainments, in
fact everything that was unnecessary
in these days of stress, and for the
complete success off the work, all unit
ed in the one cause, the conservation
Of food being the prime object.
The Woman Patriot in Farnce was
ably discussed by Mrs. F. z. Monnier
of Basco, who is conversant with the
modes OF life in that land, having
spent a number of years there some
time ago. Mrs. Monnier described the
different classes of women in France,
the peasant woman, who had always
worked in the field, with the oxen as
teams, and the middle class of women,
giving up their servants to step down

THREE MEN IN THE CAB.

Acceptance of G. J. McFadden's explanation
IF the wreck of a circus train, in which eighty
five persons were killed, would probably be fol-
lowed by pretty strong demand for the pres
ence of a third man in the locomotive cab. Mr..
McFadden, an attorney representing the Mlchl
gan Central railroad, is said to have declared
that the accident was unavoidable, that the
engineer of the train which caused the wreck
became i'll, fell asleep at his post and failed to
see the danger signals. The possibility that
"a frightful wreck would be brought about by
such circumstances has often been suggested.
Ihe usual answer was that safety was assured
