Other With Misconduct. Roper
Notified Months Ago.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Charges and coun-
ter charges of misconduct were made

Congress Alarmed at Big Expense
Of Government Clerks in Capital
Uncle Sam Has Planned to Re-
duce Size of Civilian Army
and to Cut Big Payroll.

The civilian army of government
workers in Washington has reached
such a size that congress is not only
amazed, but is alarmed over the in
creasing expenses. A demand al
ready has been made that the gov
eminent payroll should be cut and
the number of clerks reduced.
There are 100000 government en-
ployers in the District of Columbia.
At an average annual salary of ST.
500 each they draw $126,000,000
yearly from the United States treas
ury department. AS the population
of Washington is approximately 500,-
900, every fifth person there is on
the government payroll.
When the armistice was signed
there was temporarily great exodus
of war workers, but it was soon
checked. Bureaus began to expand
again, and an army of civilian en-
ployes steadily grew as the army OF
soldiers steadily demobilized.
Senator Smoot, of Utah, said bu-
reau chiefs have so constantly In
creased their forces of assistants,
clerks, stenographers and messengers
that they have far exceeded their
needs. The senator asserted at least
one-third of the 100000 employees
should be separated from the public
payroll.

TEETH KICKED OUT
BY A MISSOURI MULE
Farmer Will Remember to Speak
Politely Next Time.

Farmer Will Remember to Speak
Politely Next Time.
FULTON, Mo.-The rear end of a
Missouri mule is a peculiar PROPOSE
ton and you best leave it alone, at
least do not make too close an inspec-
ton, is the opinion of well-known
farmer near here, who met an unus-
ual accident as a result.
This stockman went to the stall of
one of the Missouri comets without
making his presence known and the
next thing he knew he was seeing the
entire stellar constellation and he is
still wondering that he is alive.
When he came to he made a minute
inspection of himself, and according
to his deduction he was all together
and 100 per cent. perfect. AS he
arose to go he noticed something pc
culiar lying on the ground. 1t was in
two pieces. A closer inspection prov
ed it was his set of false teeth that
had been knocked out of his mouth
by the impact and had been broken
in two. The dentist to whom he took
them said it would cost SO to make
the repairs and the stockman sees a
slicing of the profit that he will make
when he sells the hybrid.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
