KEEP OUT WHAT is CUT OUT

Both the administrative and the legis-
lative branches of the national Govern
ment are now showing more speed In
cutting dead wood out of the depart.
ments, reorganizing them on a business
basis and choking out squander.
With some $500, OOO,O 600 taken out of
the army and navy estimates and $500, :
100000 due to come off the overloaded
departments while all costs of materials
and supplies are dropping, those in con-
troll of the Government are fairly on the
road to economizing in ten figures, which
is the only measure of economizing that
will fulfill the pledges of the Republican
party and satisfy the American people.
With the broadaxe getting in such
work on the old spendings, the thing to
do now is to see that new spendings are
not struggled into this, that and the 9TH
er legislative measure under DISCUSSES
tnat, no matter what they pretend to do,
are designed to break into the national
treasury.
The money savel by plugging up one
leak In the dam must not be allowed to
run away through auger holes newly
bored in another spot. This must be
guarded against, whether it is military,
bonus or any other squander making for
national bankruptcy.-New York Herald.

II used to get up in the morning so stiff,
tired and worn out could hardly move:
but since taking Tanlac wake up feeling
Just fine and can get around as well as /
could when boy of sixteen and it ac-
tually seems that feel better than ever
did before in my life," was the enthusi
astic statement made by Fred Thompson
OF US Cumberland avenue, Portland, Me.
Mr.. Thompson is lifelong resident of
Portland and has been connected with
Kundlett& Company, wholesale fish deal
ers, for many years.
AT the time began taking Tanlac my
stomach had been in miserable condition
for over two years. l had no appetite at
all and my breakfast was generally half a
cup OF coffee and half doughnut Ny
1000 soured and many nights suffered so
with gas bloatIng Just could not stay in
bed and often got SO sick couldn't retain
anything l ate. My legs ached terribly.
l could hardly stind up at times, and
many mo- nlngs it was Just all.I,could do
TO get out of bed Often while at work
l was SO tired and suffered so much
Just felt like dropping in my tracks.
but Ianlac has changed everything
right around for me. My stomach seems
to be IN the best OF condition, as Pm eat
ing Just anything | want and as much as
| want without the least pain or distress
| sleep well, haven't any ache or pain in
my body and feel perfectly strong and

NEWS GIVEN BY RADIOPHONE
Farmers and Others interested Able
to Learn Market Conditions
md Prices.

Agricultural market reports by ra-
diophone is the latest innovation an
nOunced by the bureau of markets,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture This service was launched re-
Gently at East Pittsburgh, and with the
necessary radiophone apparatus, farm
ers and others within a few hundred
miles of Pittsburgh will be able to
learn agricultural market conditions
and prices Immediately after the close
of the markets. The reports are sent
from radio station KDkA over a wave
length of $50 meters.
The departments experimental radi-
ophone service follows shortly the in
auguration of sending agricultural
market reports by wireless. Sending
the reports by radiophone would great
ly simplify their receipt by farmers
and others direct, inasmuch as the op-
GRAFTON of a radiophone set does not
require a knowledge of wireless codes.
Instead of coming in dots and dashes
the market news would be received in
English, the same as conversation over
an ordinary telephone.

WARNING 70 CLIMBERS

Speaking of the Mount Everest expe-
dition, Sir Francis Younghusband says:
Eat great heights men get very nervous
and irritable. AT 10000 feet they begin
to lose patience with one another, and
the higher they climb the deeper they
hate"
There is moral in that for men SEEK
ing high attitudes in our common human
life.
May it never be said of them with
truth, 1.-The higher they climb the deeper
they hate"
1t is a fine thing to find a man who
goes upward to great heights without
losing his head, his nervous equipoise, his
self-control. 1t is an inspiration to US
who plod and drudge along at the lower
levels to find him generous, amiabe,
affable, ready to meet all corners and
faithful to his friends.
On the other hand, it is deplorable to
come upon a man who wins his way to
eminence of any sort. and in that lofty
station, instead of looking to the sky and
a superior Power, looks down upon "the
common herd" ana thinks-and tells
how great he is in comparison with them.

CUNTHER COLLECTION
By T.T.MAxEY

MANY great and good men, pos
wi sessed of hobby for collecting
curious and other things, have left
heritages of untold monetary value
and far-reaching educational value.
The recent death of Mr.. Charles F.
Gunther, Chicago philanthropist
who possessed a consuming passion
for collecting, released to permanent
quarters in that city the greatest
known collection of historical docu-
ments and autographs letters in Am
erica, and enables the lOoker-on to
visualize the westward shifting of the
frontier from the colonies on the At
lantic to the slope of the Pacific.
A stroll through these wonders re-
veals such relics as-the compass
used by General George Washington
in his soldier days; the first edition
(1507) of the first book in which Am
erica was mentioned; the first news
paper, The Gazette. Oxford, England
Q665); the table upon which Gen
eral Grant wrote the terms Of Lees
surrender at Appomattox court house
(1865); the silk hat and umbrella of
Abraham Lincoln and the carriage in
which he rode about in the CITY of
Washington; the document transfer
ring the Territory of Louisiana from
Spain to France QS03), and another
covering conveyance from France to
the United States; the instruments
used in plating Chicago (1829).
Mr.. Gunther is said to have hunted
with intense eagerness for forty years,
spending one million dollars.

INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
sbIe After Matching Season, or
Separate Them.

The poultry flock can get along per-
fectly well without the rooster just as
soon as you are through saving hatch
ing eggs. The sooner the male birds
are taken from the flock and marketed,
or killed, or placed in separate runs,
the better. Infertile eggs are always
best for market; for the summer mar
ket this holds doubly true. The infer
tile eggs keep better than the fertile
ones. One more thing: The male
birds will not increase egg production
one whit; they are that many extra
mouths to feed while the hens are
hustling to pay their own keep.

THE HOOKER OAK
BY TT. MAXEY

TN BEAUTIFUL 2,3OO-acre Bidwell
i park which, by the way, is one of the
largest natural-wooded parks in the
country, in the little city of Chico,
California-some $50 miles northeast
Of San Francisco, there is a giant
white-oak tree which is believed to
be the largest of its kind in the world.
This ponderous monarch of the for
est was named after Sir Joseph
Hooker, the noted English naturalist,
who, in 1877, after close examination
and considerable study, pronounced it
to be larger than any of the wondrous
oaks for which England was famed.
This great tree is more than 100
feet high and it's circumference eight
feet above the ground is % 4-1Oth
feet Its longest branch extends away
from the trunk for 105 feet. From
north to south its branches spread
an even 200 feet. The greatest cir
conference of it's outside branches
reaches the astonishing figure of al
most 400 feet.
Students of freedom from near and
far have come and tried every means
known to science to coax this mas
sive oak to whisper the secret of its
tremendous size and unusual age, but
it merely waves its branches in the
gentle breeze and seems tU laugh at
them. SO, the best they can do is to
estimate its age. The consensus of
opinion is that it has been on earth
well nigh 1000 years.
General William Tecumseh Sher-
man. of Civil war fame, gave it as
his opinion that an army of 1000
men could stand within its shade at
high noon.
