PAY ROLLS ARE
FULL OF employees
WASHINGTON CITY HAS MORE
THAN 100000 GOVERNMENT
SALARIED MEN. UNCLE SANS
EXPENSE ACCOUNT HEAVY.

WASHINGTON.-Uncle Sam has
handed out a lot of jobs. In Wash
ington alone he has about 100000
on his pay roll. Some of them are
needed, many only hamper efficiency
But, it seems, Uncle Sam just
can't bring himself to tell these
folks that they'll have to get out
and shift for themselves.
Five years ago Uncle Sans es-
Enlistment in Washington was run
with $1,000 employees. Today it
employs 100000. They just get in
each others way, and do little more,
according to Senator Smoot, of Utah,
who has made a special study of their
activities, than was done before the
war.
what can be expected" Smoot
asks, when to obtain the record of
some soldier for any purpose it is
necessary to go to six different files,
travelling from one bureau to an
other?
another trouble is that employ
es of the government soon ind 1t
is not the policy of the government
to keep work current. The policy
is never to finish the job until it
is absolutely necessary. Unfinished
work is the basis for demands for
larger appropriations"
The chances are Uncle Sam will
not reform his government this con-
gress or next. The cost of govern
ment is going to remain high, like
the cost Of living, till some hard eco
nomic jolt shakes things out of joint
and brings the pressure of actual
necessity. Till that time, its an
even bet that when one government
bureau fires an employee another de-
partment or bureau will take on one
or maybe two.
Last month, for instance, the war
risk force was cut by 5000 but not
Uncle Sans pay roll. For stimuli
taneously the census bureau put on
5000, and the old cost of govern
ment went merrily on.

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAISY-TRY THIS!
Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poiSons.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face. to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out, Just
try inside-bathing every morning for
one week.
Before breakfast each day. drink a
glass of real hot water with teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it as a
harmless means of washing from the
stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action OF
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in

lamentations, gases and acidity and
gives one a splendid appetite for break

A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that Just as soap and hot water
cleanses, sweetens and freshens the
skin. so hot water and limestone phos-
phate act on the blood and internal or
gans. Those who are subject to con-
atipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach,
rheumatic twinges, also those whose
skin is sallow and complexion pall1d.
are assured that one week OF inside
bathing will have them both looking
and feeling better in every way.

$l5O,OOO,OOO FOOD
RELIEF LOAN OPPOSED
REPRESENTATIVE MON D E L L
SAYS ALL SOB STORIES FROM
EUROPE NOT TRUE.

WASHINGTON. - Opposition to
the proposed $150,O00,000 food re-
lief loan to Austria, Poland and Ar
menia and to an appropriation OF
$1,0OO,0OO for additional army air
planes was expressed in the house
today by Representative Mondell, the
republican leader, who replied to
charges by Representative Kitchen,
of North Carolina, former democrat
ic leader, that the republican steer
ing committee had blocked the relief
bill before the ways and means COM
mittee.
Careful consideration should be
given before "taking the money of
the people to provide funds for Eu-
rope" Mr.. Mondell said, adding that
not all the "sob stories" about Eu-
rope were to be believed.
Referring to his opposition to the
airplane appropriation the republican
leader said someone had said Great
Britain was expanding $350,00O,O0O
on her air service.
"If England can do that" he SAID,
'then a resolution ought to be passed
by congress compelling her to pay
interest on her debt to the United
States"
Representative Garner, democrat,
Texas, suggested loan of $5O,OOO-,
600 to Europe. This amount would
represent only the profits of the
grain corporations, he said, adding
that cit is only due the poole from
whom it was made"

THIS MAN GLADDENS
THE HEART OF EDITOR
He Voluntarily Raises Rates on His
Own Advertising, Which Starts
Other Patrons Same Way.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The man who
edits this story will appreciate it more
than any one else who reads it. In
fact, he may like it so we'll that he
will print it in red ink, if he has any,
and put it on the front page next
to the United States senate news and
other matters of national import
ance.
An Alabama small town merchant
with a scowl on his face walked into
the sanctum of the editor of strug-
Cling weekly newspaper and growled
is surly voice:
"Well, I've heard the price of
paper is still going up: suppose
you'll be wanting to raise the price
of your subscription, eh?"
| II wish l could" said the editor
"but $3.50 a year is all that any
body will pay in this part of the coun-
trv and | reckon eventually I'll have
to Quit and go back to farming"
"You listen to me, snapped the
merchant. Beginning back from
January LIST, you just increase my ad-
vertising rate 10 cents an inch. That
may help a little and put you right
for increasing the rate of your other
advertisers"
That merchant may never have q
monument erected to him or grace
the hall of fame, but he is the first
man in record history who voluntarily
increased his advertising rate. AnC
he's a good business man, too, anc
attributes his success to newspaper
advertising.

cessor declared that coffee, if not
roasted black, was then certainly not
coal, and therefore the drinkers OF
coffee made from good known ber-
ries was not contrary to the Koran.
Up the coast of Europe the rich
odor of the coffee pot crept, and the
English shifted it from afar and with
relish. 1t was being served in Lon
don inns in Shapespeare's time, not
in cups, but in shallow bowls, so
that one asked for "dish" of coffee.
Evidently the students at Oxford
University needed something to slim
ulate them in their studies, for it
was in that old town, in 1919, that
the first genuine English coffee
house was established.
What a world of romance and lit
erary history hovers about those En-
glish coffee houses! They spread all
over the island London alone is
said to have had 5000 in Dryden's
time. Some, such as Wills Coffee
House, will go down in the annals OF
letters as the gathering places OF
the most brilliant wits and dramatists
and poets the British empire ever
produced. -,
In these cafes, with their open
fronts in summer and their huge log
fires in winter, one might have found
DRYDEN. Pope, Gay, Shadwey, all the
celebrities of the day. Here jokes
and puns and epigrams bombarded
the air; here new dramas were plan
ned; here satires were written that
drove authors back to Grub street
in disgrace and poverty.
Was For Men Only.
At first no woman thought of en-
tering such a place; it was sanctu-
ary for men only. But at length
the ladies began to come-probably
to see if their husbands were there
and as the feminine mind of the
seventeenth century was not interest
ed intensely in playwright and similar
literary feats cards were introduced
for their benefit.
Then came rampage OF gampllhg'

wagered the very clothing off her
back. and had to retire to an upper
chamber while considerate friends
went out and borrowed garments for
her.
incidentally Charles II. ordered
every British coffee house closed and
even imprisoned several of the pro-
prietors, but the institutions soon
returned to life, and continued their
downward career until at least the
close of the seventeenth century
And thereby hangs a tale.
The more respectable writers and
intellectuants wishing a quiet season
fell into the practice of renting eX-
clusively coffee house for night
and then for a week or month, un-
til unwittingly certain of such gath
ering places became almost private,
and all who were not of the elect
learned to stay away.
And thus originated the famous
London clubs, those assemblies Of
eighteenth century master minds.

AMERICANS IMBIBE
The MOST OF COFFEE
PROBABLE SUCCESSOR TO LATE
J. BARLEYCoRN HAD HARD
TIME BECOMING POPULAR.

Three hundred and sixty five years
ago the first coffee house in the world
was opened at Constantinople, and
PTS years ago the first English coffee
house sent forth its aroma at Oxford.
And in the brief space of three cen
turtles how the coffee-drinking habit
has spread! The whole world drinks
it now-enormous quantities of it.
says a writer in american Cookery
The year before the great war Ger
many drank ASP, 100000 pounds OF
coffee, while France consumed in the
coal-black form that a Frenchman
loves over 220,000,000 pounds. But
the United States surpassed them all,
as usual, by gulping down in true
American fashion nearly 99O,000,O0O
pounds.
For at least a half century, how
ever, the habit of coffee drinking had
a struggle for existence. 1t seems
that the custom of using the bever-
age had its origin in Abyssinla
About year 1900 a Mutt of Alden,
named Gemaledie, requested those
fanatic churchmen of the East, the
dervishes, to drink it in order that
they might relax in the lond and
weird ceremonies of their faith.
Popularity Was Sudden.
The dervishes took to it like cat
to cream, and recommended the con-
coction so heartily and widely that
within a decade the habit had spread
to Mecca and Cairo. In fact, t grew
so dangerously popular that in 1911
an assembly of Mahomedap theolo-
gians condemned it on the ground
that it led to intoxication, and was,
therefore, contrary to the Koran.
But these wise guardians of the
faith struck snag. The Sultan OF
Egypt had become "coffee fiend"
and when he called together another
council of theologians these gentle
men knew exactly what to do. They
recommended coffee as a gift from
Allah. And the people gladly ac-
copied Allah's gift; everybody want
ed a cup. Thus it happened that
some enterprising Turk opened the
worlds first coffee house in Con-
stantinople in the fall of 1854.
Evidently, however, IheSe reSorIS
became entirely too popular, for the
riff-raff of the town as well as the
-Four Hundred" congregated in
them, and loud was the cry of the
Mahometan churchmen against the
places. Late in the sixteenth CEN
fury the Cologians once more de-
manded the determination of the bev-
erage, because the Koran condemned
the use of Coal" This proves that
the Turks took their coffee black.
The Mufti of Constantinople saw the
logic of the theologians' argument
and closed every shop and hotel dis
pensing coffee.
Was Not Against Koran.
What happened? The Mutt
promptly lost his job, and his sue
