SIDELIGHTS
National Department of Public Works

At present these functions are per-
formed by 80 separate and distinct
agencies In nine out of the ten de-
partme1ts, which in many cases do ex-
actly the same kind of work and are
not correlated and co-ordinated except
through congress.
In the regrouping of functions
among the departments the interior
department would transfer the patent
Office to the department of commerce;
the bureau Of pensions to the treasury
department; the bureau Of education
to the department of labor the Freed
mans hospital to the public health
service, and so on.
Into the new department Of public
works would be taken the supervising
architects office from the treasury de-
partment; the corps of engineers, riv-
ers and harbors, from the war depart
ment; the coast and geodetic survey
from the department of commerce; the
bureaus of good roads and Of forest
service from the agricultural depart
ment, and so on.
Of course every department-except
perhaps the interior-will fight the bill
to tie last ditch.

Recess Appointments of President Wilson

FAILURE of congress to act on near
i ly 200 executive appointments be-
fore adjournment, combined with a
number of vacancies now existing, or
expected to occur soon in government
al departments and the diplomatic
service, is expected to lead to a num-
Der of recess appointments by Presi-
dent Wilson. While the larger portion
of the unconfirmed nominations are
postmasters of the lower grades, ap-
pointments to number of important
offices were not acted on by the
senate.

ated welfare organizations, the Amer
lean Legion, the navy department, the

The war department will neither
propose nor oppose the bringing of

their decision. Points in the plans in

That Romagne, Belleau and Sures-

That those bodies not requested to

That headstones and markers be
vigorously uniform and erected by the

permanent plots there be no segrega-
ton into distinctive locations on the

Tries to Give Away Plat National Park

DLATT National park in Oklahoma
was established in 1902. 1t con-
tains but S48 acres. 1t has sulphur
and bromide springs of medical value.
Last year it attracted about $4,000 Wis
itors, most Of them from the adjacent
city Of Sulphur. So Plat is hardly
up to the standard of the national
parks. 1t is slated to be reduced to
"a national monument.
In 1913 Plat got an appropriation
of $1,000, which has gradually been
decreased to $4,000 for fiscal year
1920 While the national park items
in the sundry civil bill were being con-
sidered in the house just before ad-
Journment, Harreld of Oklahoma Of
fered an amendment increasing the
appropriation from $4,000 to $4,000.
Then Good of Iowa, chairman of the
appropriations committee, offered a
substitute amendment which provided
for transfer of the park to the state
OF Oklahoma and, in case of the failure
or refusal of Oklahoma to accept the
park, for the sale of the park either
by sealed proposals or by public auc-
ton, the proceeds to go to the treas
ury.

Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex.
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy il
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says sTake for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-R Root, a
preparation have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
50 many people claim, that it fulfIls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri.
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

saw the red light at the rear of the
wagon and shaped his course to avoid
it. In doing so he ran into the cow,
which had no rear lights exposed.
Quite mixup followed.
1.-THE driver of the automobile has
now applied to me and requested a

was moving on the highway without

Mann Of Illinois made a point Of
order, holding that the Good amend
ment was legislation. Good replied
that it was legislation under the Hol-
man rule and to the surprise of every
one read from the act creating the
park section providing that the fed
eral government was not committed
to the expenditure of money on the
park, as 1t was the intention to convey
the park to whatever state should be
formed out of the then Indian terri
tory.
Mann's point of order was sustained
and Harreld's amendment was passed.

who at one stage of his progress had
been leading COW attached to a rope
at the rear of the wagon. The wag-

Don't Pay a Long Profit

In the second place, how much profit is
the dealer taking on your transaction?
There is nothing to stop his taking a
good, long one if you'll buy. That's
why some dealers would rather sell pri-
vate brands than Certain-teed.
Any responsible dealer can sell Certain
teed if he plays the game squarely. He
gets fair profit, but he cannot stretch
it because SO many dealers handle it and
everybody knows the price.
Of course, you know what to expect
from Certain-teed. It is highest quail
ity, guaranteed for S, 10 or Is years, ac-
cording to weight, and completely
shelters your property. That's real buy.
Any reliable dealer can get Certain
teed for you quickly from a nearby
Certain-teed warehouse or jobber. He
gets it when he wants it and he gets
what he wants. He can afford to sell
you at a fair price.

In the first place, how do you know
what quality of roofing you are buying?
He may say that it is hrst-grade, be-
cause even an expert cannot tell the
grade by just looking at it. Our third
grade roofing looks as good as any.
The chances are that you will get me-
dunn or poor grade of roofing and pay
first-grade price for it. At least, an

private brand of roofing can work that
on you if he wants to.
