Tanlac is a powerful reconstructive
tonic and quickly overcomes this con-
dition by aiding Nature to eliminate
the impurities from the system in
natural way and enable the vital or
gans to properly perform their func-
tions. That is why it is called Ma
ture's Medicine.
In fact, there is not single por-
tion of the body that is not benefited
by the helpful action of Tanlac which
begins its work by stimulating the di-
gestive and assimilative organs, there
by enriching the blood and invigorat-
ing the entire system. Next, it en-
ahes the weak, worn-out stomach to
thoroughly digest its food and convert
the nourishing elements into bone.

The food people eat does them alb

through his influence an appropriation
of $1,000 was made for the purpose Of
procuring and distributing seeds of
new plants, carrying agricultural in
vestigatiOns and collecting agricultural
statistics. This was the historic be-
ginning of the much talked-about free
seed distribution.
By an act of congress in May 1862,
since generally called the organic act,
| the activities of the government affect
ing agriculture were placed under
separate and distinct organization
known as the Department of Agricul-
ture, in charge of commissioner Of
agriculture. 1t did not rank, how
ever, with the other executive depart
ments, and the commissioner was not
entitled to a seat in the Presidents
cabinet. Isaac Newton. chief of the
agricultural section in the patent office,
was appointed the first commissioner
of agriculture. Other officers provided
by the organic act included q statis-
tician, chemist, an entomologist and
n superintendent of the propagating
garden and experimental farm.
| The chrysalis was now ready to be
broken. In 1889 the Department of Ag-
riculture was elevated to the rank of
| the other executive departments and
its commissioner was made secretary
of agriculture with a seat in the Presi-
dents cabinet. This was in Grover
| Cleveland's administration. In honor
of its new rank few more functions
were taken on.
But that's enough detail. 1t kept on
! growing. Beginning with an appro-
priation of $1,000 and two or three
clerks, the department had. in 1910,
| employees to the number of 124S0, and
an appropriation of Sl2,995, ,036. Five
years later the appropriation had
grown to s19,s65,S32 and the en-
ployees to 1929. The employees in
May. 1920, numbered 1S,09S and the
appropriation given by congress for
the fiscal year 1921 was S31 ,475,36S.
The department has increased its
cost of living in 80 years from mere
$1,O0O-that is, SS3.33 month-to
more than 31,00O,00O a years.. .622,-
947.3S every month. That shows as
clearly and as sharply as it can be
shown how the high cost of govern
ment living affects your own cost of
living.
We, you and ], paid out of our saw
ings and earnings every red cent of
that increase from $1,000 year to more
than S31.OOO,OOO. 1t may have been
we'll spent. We probably got Il run
for our money; but nobody knows, ex-
cept in general way. We have a
| right to know. 1t is simply fatheaded-
ness on our part not to find out.

JUST KEPT GROWING

The origins of these antiquated, cum
bersome, costly, inefficient pieces of the
national machinery that we call the
executive departments show how any
establishment If well watered with
government money will expand and
hold together, no matter how conflict
ing and incongruous its functions.
Hardly one of these great business es-
tablishments-for that is what they
are-was planned. AS they are today
they just happened.
Take the Department of Agriculture
for example, one of the greatest and
most complex and widespreading of all
the departments. 1t is in closer touch
and more directly affects the greatest
number of people in the United States
than any other branch of the govern
inent with the possible exception Of
the post office. 1t began in 1899 with
an appropriation of $1,000, taken from
the patent funds for the distrlbu-
tion of free seeds and the collection
of agricultural statistics by the patent
office, then bureau in the State de-
partment. Now look at the darned
thing. 1t is all over the place.
The title of the department indicates
its most important field of activities. but
its functions have been extended to In
clude the whole range of rural indus
try and some branches of administra-
tion only very indirectly related to
agricultural interests. For about 60
years subsequent to the Revolution the
general interests of agriculture We're
left almost entirely to individual initia-
tive Federal activity was confined to
relatively narrow limits and was mere
ly sporadic. Soon after the national
government was organized some at
tempts were made to establish board
of agriculture; but neither the first
proposal In 1896 nor second effort in
1917 was successful.
Shortly after the Revolution, follow
ing the example of Benjamin Frank
lin while in England, as agent of the
colony of Pennsylvania during the
years 1854 to 1775. American consuls
and naval officers began the practice
of sending home foreign seeds and cut
tlngs for new crops, and of aiding in
the introduction into the United States
of new breeds of domestic animals.
Even such small governmental partici-
patton was, in the beginning, rather
extra official.
In 1886 the commissioner of pat
ents, one H. l.. Ellsworth, began the
distribution of considerable quantities
of seeds and plants received from gov
ernment representatives in foreign
countries; and three years later

The Department of Agriculture is
one instance of how governmental es-
Establishments grow and spread and ex-
tend their activities, once they get
started. The bureau of fisheries, In
the Department of Commerce, is an
other 1t had modest beginning, and
not so very long ago. Prior to 1871
there was no branch of the federal
government especially charged with
the consideration of fishery affairs.
Several of the states had established
fish commissions and these state au-
thorities, supported by private inter-
ests, began to agitate for national
bureau devoted to fishery interests.
So 1t came about that by 1871 con-
gress was ready to yield and begin to
make appropriations. The first one
was for $1,000 and provided for a
commissioner of fish and fisheries to
prosecute Investigations and inquiries
with the view of ascertaining wheth-
er any and what diminutiOn in the
number of food fishes of the coast
land in the lakes of the United States
has taken place; and also whether
any and what protective, prohibitory
.or precautionary measures should be
adopted in the premises; and shall re-
port upon the same to congress"
!: The commissioner was to draw no
pay, for it was provided by congress
In the same joint resolution that lie
should be civil officer of the govern
ment, of proved scientific and prac-
tical acquaintance with the fishes of
the coast, who should serve without
additional compensation. The then as
sistant secretary of the Smithsonian in
stitution, by name. Spencer Fullerton
Baird, was chosen as the best man for
the job, and so he proved to be. He
made the little acorn grow. He was
industrious and competent and knew
how to get along with congress. He
was diligent and he stood before kings.
See what happened.
RemembeS he started out with
$1,000 to discover whether there had
been any diminution of the supply of
food fishes along the coasts or in the
lakes. He was at the head Of an in
dependent investigation and reported
directly to congress. The thing was
kept alive by annual appropriations
as an Independent institution until
1903, when 1t was incorporated Into
the newly formed Department of Com
merce and Labor as the bureau OF
fisheries.
BY 1909 the annual appropriation had
grown to $SOS, ,920. and the bureau had
permanent personnel of 32o. At
that time the land owned and occupied
