WASH FRUITS FOR CHILDREN
All Market Produce Should Be Cleaned to Remove Dirt, Bacteria
 and Residue.

Children should have fruits, also celery. tomatoes, and salads not only to give variety in their school lunches, but especially to supply the vitamines and other food clements necessary for healthy growth, agree nutrition spec ialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. When they eat any Of these uncooked foods at home 1t is probable that the mother has washed the fruit or vegetable properly before serving it. All market produce needs washing to remove dirt and dust, bac- teria. and sometimes particles of spray residue. The best fruits and usually the best-looking fruits are those from trees which have been properly sprayed while the fruit was in its early stages and sometimes the spray may not nave weathered off the fruit before harvest. Children should not be given money to buy their own fruit from hucksters or stands unless there are facilities at school for washing 1t. They should be drilled in the practice of washing what they eat of these uncooked products, as matter of ordinary cleanliness.

XII. WHY GOOD MEN QUIT

do today into the Treasury depart ment, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Commerce, or into any other establishment of the govern ment doing important technical work, and they will tell you that their chief difficulty Is to retain competent em- ployees in the supervisory and tech 1ical positions. Their turnover Is ab- normally high in these positions.
 Every day men leave the service to accept private employment at ma terialiy increased salaries, so that the departments are continuously going through process of selecting and training executives and technical em- ployees, only to lose them, as they be- come really valuable, on account of the tnadequacy of their compensation.
 The second factor which contrib uteS to the present ineffectiveness of the government as q business estab- hshment is found in the improper or gantzation of the executive branch of the government for effective service. You are familiar, at least in a general way, with the defects of the present administrative machinery.
 You know for example, that the h. terior department now has jurisdiction over q great number of bureaus of a miscellaneous character that have nothing to do with each other or with the functions which the Interior de partment was originally established to perform.
 You know that many agencies have been located in the Treasury depart ment, the great fiscal department of the government, which are purely non- fiscal in character, such as the coast guard, the public health service, the supervising architects office and the bureau of war risk insurance.
 You know that the great bulk of the civil public works of the govern ment are executed under the super vision of the War department. although the bureau of public roads is located in the Department of Agriculture, and the reclamation service in the Depart ment of the Interior.
 You know, furthermore. of the in dependent existence outside the juris- diction of any of the great executive departments of some 40-odd boards, commissions, offices and bureaus.
 These are merely examples of con- ditlon that would require volumes to describe fully, but It is generally known that the executive branch of the government is at the present time il- logically and uneconomically organ ized in many important particulars.
 IL should be remembered, however,

VIEW OF THE EMPLOYEE

The employees are recruited under a law which provides a test of qualifications, and probably ninetenths of the rank and file have satisfactorily passed the entrance test. But the better positions, say from 5000 up ward, are usually occupied by political appointees. Another considerable group of employees get their appoint ments by executive order, waiving civil-service tests of fitness.
 The newcomer in the service, there fore, finds himself up against a mini- mum Of opportunity for promotion, with the dshearteuing knowledge that the advancement which is earned by competence is all too likely to be given to tle friend or political supporter of some congressman or executive who wishes to pay a political debt. And the employee is subject to dismissal at the will of the executive of his de- pertinent, unless he can bring sufficient political influence to bear.
 In other words. the civil-service law Is not backed up by enforcing power In the Civil Service commission. It merely recruits the applicants for en- trance. Thereafter the employee 8 fate is largely matter of his own luck and negative passive merit. There fitted to the job, and no protection against dismissal, unless the employee himself can show that the reason Is political or religious. For the good of the service" as the law reads, covers every other charge which the executive official may bring. There Is no court of appeal.
 Such Is the oppressive. incentiveiess, vitiating atmosphere of the govern ment service. It stifies initiative, illustrates ambitions and reduces the mass of employees to . more or less passive state. which Is permeated by a sense of fear
 In such an atmosphere, naturally enough. the physical conditions of em- ployment are far from what they should be, and the government loses efficiency. as does any other employer where the wage scale is inadequate and unstandardlzed. where sanitary conditions are bad and hours of work too long and irregular.
 The wage scale is so low that the Civil Service commission has difficulty in securing properly qualified appli- cants. and throughout the service the turnover Is high. Employees dolns the same kind of work often receive widely different rates of pay: ex- perienced workers often receive less than beginners. and virtually every l kind of inequality and injustice sxista

OYSTER DRESSING MIXTURE
scaIloped Kind Are Preferred by Many Cooks Because Flavor Is Lost
 in Cooking.

An oyster dressing is made by add ing to a highly seasoned bread stuff- ing, oysters equal in bulk to the breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly one quart of soft breadcrumbs, q .cupful of butter, melted in two-thirds cupful hot milk or water, one-half teaspoon full salt, one teaspoonful of spiced poultry seasoning, and beaten egg. Omit the egg if the dressing is to be when the egg is used. Add oysters and stuff the turkey. As long cock ing detracts from the flavor of oysters many cooks prefer scalloped oysters served with turkey.

that even with an ideal personnel and a perfect organization it is doubtful if the high degree of economy and efficiency that characterizes private business can ever be attained in the government offices. This is so because economies made by government off cialS are not transformed into divi- dends for themselves Us they are in private business.
 There is an impression in congress and throughout the country that men of great ability are not found in gov ernment service; that the salaries are not sufficient to attract and hold them. On the contrary, there are great many people of distinguished ability in the government service. One is more and more impressed by that fact, especially since the war sent to Wash ington so many men of large means and famous names with whom the government employees could be com pared. The comparison was time and again to the advantage of the govern ment employee. But the salaries are not the attraction; it is the work It. self. This is well understood by some eminent observers of public life Sec retary of State Hughes declared him self as follows before the advisory committees of the war risk insurance bureau:
 It has been my experience that with the higher officers, the officers of greater institutions, where efficiency is rewarded by public representation-while the field is a limited one because of the great op- portunity to men Of abidty-it IS still en- tirely possible to draw to the public serN- ice men of great ability and distinction, because of the desire to render public service, and the number of men who are available for that purpose. while rela- lively small. is still sufficient if the ap- pointing officer wants men of that class. In order to obtain them, however, he must give a free field. He must not in- terfere as to political action to control administration tendencies and must per init them to be given the reward which a well-conducted office or importance will give to its incumbent in the public esti- nation.
 Now the difficulty increases when you pass those heads that get the credit and come to the technical expert who has got to do the regluar work and upon whose efficiency the operation of the de. partment finally depends. These men ars little known. The public hasn't time even to learn their names They are interested in work to a degree of being willing to make sacrifices.
 There is active competition for men oi brains and great ability of that sort. and the government will never be served un. less it pays the price for those men. Now think that Is a plain situation. Yot may be able to get a director in the bu reau of war risk insurance for 5000 6 year, or for nothing al all, but you can not get an actuary. You cannot get in. surance men. You cannot get superin tendents. That would be my judgment

 Of Agriculture.)

(Pxopzrod by the United States Department
 Of Agrieulture)
 For generations housekeepers have taken pride in their orderly linen closets, well-stocked preserve and jel- ly closets, and their neat kitchen cup boards. While not so attractive to look at, the cleaning closet is just as important. By grouping together brooms, brushes, dusters, mops and all the many things needed in cleaning, and keeping the closet ip order, the housekeeper need not waste time or take extra steps in collecting these It is more sanitary and tidy practice to store cleaning tools in a place by themselves than to leave them in corner of the kitchen or pantry, as Is often done, the United States Depart ment of Agriculture points out.
 The cleaning closet should be con venient to the whole house. Some times. especially in large houses, good arrangement is to have a clean ing closet on each floor with supply of the things most frequently used. If built-in closet is not available, an old wardrobe may be fitted up. Some times the cleaning closet opens off the back hall or the combination laundry and washroom, which is found an al- most indispensable room in many farmhouses. This, also, is good place for 1t.
 The cleaning closet should be ven- tilated by cutting holes in the door or by means of transom. Shelves should be arranged for the cans and bottles of cleaning materials and oth- CT small articles, and there should be plenty of hooks at proper heights for brushes, brooms and mops. These should be hung so that the weight does not rest on the straws, bristles, or strings. The carpet sweeper, also. should be set or hung so that the weight does not come on the brushes.
 Good Tools More Economical.
 Well-made, durable tools are gen. orally most economical in the end, though they may cost more at the out set. It is well, of course, to have a complete set of tools and materials for cleaning the many kinds of materials in the house, but this does not mean that q large collection should be bought haphazard. Some cleaning de
