Scientists answer:
When horses lived in forests, their
five-toed feet were handy in run
ming over underbrush, and III turn
ing quickly
Later the climate became drier.
Trees died for lack of moisture.
Prairies replaced forests.
In the new surroundings, the
horse found the four extra toes
uesless. Nature always tined to get
rid of useless things, and the extra
toes slowly withered away until all
that was left was the one very big
toe-the hoof!
While this was happening, other
changes took place in the horses
body. It's legs grew longer, as did
also its neck and head. 1t began
to look like the modern horse.

THE HORSE AND HIS LOST
TOES
CHAPTER SIS
CHAPTER 90


Ono beloved animal is the horse.
It's history has been traced back 70
~ time when there were no people
ON earthl Horse skeletons have
been found hundreds of feet under
the surface of the ground-tar
deeper than the bones Of any hu-
man being.
The earliest members of the horse
family lived two or three million
wears ago in forests. Instead oil
such hoofs as we see nowadays
they had feet with five toes.
Another thing proved by Skele-
tons is that the first horses were
very small-about the size of dogs
or foxes. How would pet horse
of such size appeal to you?
When the horse was the SIZE OIL a
fox. il had Al teeth, much like the
teeth of pigs or monkeys. Today
there are only 36 teeth in horses
mouth. These are better fitted Tor
grinding grain and grass.
The five-toed feet of horses did
not suddenly change to one-toed
hoofs. Look at the sketches under
the little three-toed horse pictured.
You see the bones of horses feet
during different periods.
First there were toes of full size.
Then two of the toes began to
wither away. The third sketch
shows the foot with only three toes
left. The fourth sketch shows two
or more toe bones getting small
Finally you see a single bone-tH
kind that is now inside a horses
hoof.
The question comes, "Why did the
horses toes wither in this man

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists,
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose appica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer 4 Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

SYSTEM is ALL WRONG

The great difficulty that stands in
the way of discussing Uncle Sam as
an employer is that there is no such
person. The men who stand in the
relation of employer to their subOrdi-
mates are>nothing but employees them
selves, and temporary ones at that,
with a very fleeing tenure Of office.
Cabinet officers and members of con-
gress, to whom the rank and file of
employees look for guidance for
solution of their problems, are simply
fleeing figures that come and go, with
their own interests to serve. They
testify freely enough as to conditions
of government employment. Senator
Carter Glass, recently secretary of the
treasury, for exampIe:'
"The largely multiplied business of
the government cannot be conducted
with efficiency, and economy. unless
there be attracted to and retained in
the public service a group of highly
trained, well-paid and permanent Off
Gals of supervisory grades. Uncer-
tainty of tenure in some instances and
inadequaCy of compensation have
closed the public service to many men
of the best type or forced them out of
government employ at the moment of
their greatest usefulness.
THE war has increased the public
debt more than twenty-five fold and
has augmented the functions and ac-
tivities of the government in many
ways. The duties are greater and the
responsibilities are larger than those
Of other days, to the standards of
which it Is not to be expected that
the government will ever return. The
conditions are such that failure to take
the necessary action to invite and
hold in the public service men of eX-
ceptional ability and of real distinc-
ton in their fields can result only in
grave burdens to the taxpayers of the.
country and in possible disaster.
ALREADY the transaction of the
business Of the government Is ham,
pered by deficiencies Of personnel due
| to the return to private life of many
men Of large capacity who during the
period Of active warfare were willing
| and glad to serve their country at
great personal sacrifice. I have come
| to learn that there are heroes in the
| civil establishments as well as in the
military services, self-sacrificing pa
trots who toll year in and year out for
n bare plttance when they could COM
mand salaries double or treble the
amounts they receive from the govern
ment, but who, for the love of their
country and for tile love of their
work, have rejected aluring offers in
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1922-01-26

the field of private enterprise. They
were too fine and too patriotic to leave
their posts.
Under the compelling force of pa
triOtiSm they made willing sacrifices
during the war, but with the return of
peace the government cannot expect
to retain these employees indefinitely,
because in justice to themselves and
their families they will sooner or later
accept the larger opportunities that are
open to them in the world of business
and industry unless the government
proposes to pay them salaries that at
least reasonably approach the value of
their services.
"Only prompt action by the congress
to build up a permanent and dignifed
civil service which will include men
of great ability and high attachments
can prevent mistakes and failures in
the transaction Of the public business,
the consequences of which may be
calamitous."
EX-Representative Good, who was
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee of the house, is equally frank:
To-day duplication in the govern.
ment service abounds on every hand.
For example, eight different depart
ments of the government, with large
overhead organizations are engaged
in engineering work, in navigation, ir-
a. : to, n, 4
bureaus are engaged in engineering
research; twelve different organiza-
lions are engaged in road con-
struction, while twelve, with large
overhead organizations, are engaged
in hydraulic construction and sixteen
are engaged In surveying and map
ping. Sixteen different bureaus exer-
else jurisdiction over water-power de-
velopment. Nine different organiza.
lions are collecting information on the
consumption of coal. Forty-two differ
ent organizations, with overhead ex-
penses, are dealing with the question
of public health.
"The Treasury department, the War
department, the Interior department
and the Labor department each has
bureau dealing with the question of
general education. These departments
operate independently; instances of CO.
operation between them are excep.
tional Each of these departments is
manned at all times with an organiza.
ton prepared to carry the peak of the
load and maintains an expensive
ready-to-serye personnel. A lack of
cooperation in the executive depart.
ments necessarily leads to gross ex.
trdvagance. The system is wrong, ard
| congress alone can change the SYSTEM

WHY GOOD MEN DODGE

The government service must look
largely to the graduates from colleges
and universities in recruiting for its
technical work. Replies to an inquiry
addressed to some forty of the leading
colleges and universities of the coun-
try to discover what class of men took
civil service examinations, whether
the number is decreasing and, if so,
the reasons, disclose wildly what the
training schools of technical and scien-
tific men think about the government
as an employer. They warn their
graduates against government service,
and the graduates heed the warning.
Carnegie Institute of Technology
at Pittsburgh, reports:
1t is certainly true that the best Of our
graduates are not interested in govern
ment employment because they feel that,
| first of all, it does not pay adequate sal
aries nor does it offer opportunity for
advancement that private enterprise does.
| This spring l interviewed all the men,
bers of the graduating class except the
women, and none of them would consider
government employment, although there
were many positions open. There
are now about $500 male graduates of the
| institute, and | will venture to state that
| not more than ten are employed by the
government
Replies of similar tenor and import
were received from the University of
| Chicago, Leland Stanford university,
Massachusetts Institute Of Technology,
Princeton university, Indiana univer
| sity, and The University of Wisconsin,
| inequality of compensation is one
| of the chief reasons that deter Scien-
titic men from going into the govern
ment service. Congress fixes the sal
aries Of most of the government EN-
! ployees. l can give a concrete Illus
tration of how it determines the sal
aries Of scientific men.
DR.. Leland o. Howard and DR.. Ed
ward w. Nelson are two scientists in
the employ of the government who
have national regulations.
The appropriation bill for the De-
partment Of Agriculture was under
consideration in the house on January
3Oth, 1920. The secretary of agricul-
ture had been recommending for five
or six years that Doctor Towards
salary be increased from 81 800 to 3d.
600. He proposed it again in that
years bill. When the item was reached
in the discussion on the floor, this col
! lOquy ensued:
Mr.. Stafford-Mister Chairman, I re-
! serve point of order on the paragraph.
Is the entomologist whose salary you
propose to increase the same person rec
commended for an increase last year?
Mr.. Lever-Yes; he has been in the gov
! eminent service many, many years.
The Chairman-I make the point of or
der.
