The difference Of S1,133, 100000 be-

by an increase in receipts of $767, 0OO,-

harder task than some Of the govern
ment employees here who hold impor-
tant positions requiring ability, but are
forced to live on almost nothing year.
Realizing that no relief Is In sight.
many who long have waited anxiously
are breaking away and finding highly
profitable positions In outside business.
Ten undersecretaries have resigned
since Harding assumed Office. A sal
airy of 100000 year with a foreign
trading company lured c. III. Houston
from the side of Hoover and an assist
ant secretaryship which paid only
$1,000. The assistant secretary of agri-
culture, G. W. Pugsley, resigned his
$1,000 job to become head of large
western agricultural college.
Many other assistant secretaryships,
which pay similarly low salaries, may
lose their incumbents. The undersec-
rotary Of state, who must have years
Of diplomatic training, receives only
$500, while the first assistant secre-
tary of state draws only $1,000 year.
Even with the small salaries, the
possibility of sudden dimissal, and the
anxiety caused by changing admins
trations, hangs always over the heads
of government employees of this type.

to insure the health Of the men will
make them prOpagandists of public
health measures when they return to
their homes at the end Of their courses.
Cooperation with the parents Of the
men is also given by the members of
the medical corps, who provide the
parents or guardians with complete
data regarding the health of their sons
or wards. Personal letters are written
the parents giving the result of the
"Schick test" and where the test shows
positive, an explanation of the throat
condition Is made and recommended
lions given for the administration Of
the treatment which will render the
men immune from diphtheria.
Daily talks on hygiene, sanitation
and first aid are given the members
Of the corps and indulgence in outdoor
sports in the afternoons Is urged.
Drill periods are from 1880 to II 80
every morning and from 1 to 3 O'clock
every afternoon. Following the daily
drill the remainder of the afternoon
Is given over to athletics.

FOUR O'CLOCK Is TEA HOUR
Almost Sacred Institution in Buenos
Aires, and Practically Observed
by All Glasses.

Tea is an institution In Buenos
Aires. All offices swear off work tenn
orarily at 4 o'clock each afternoon,
while white-coated porters bring
steaming cups around to the en-
plOyees, and employers gather up
canes and derby hats and saunter
forth for the nearest tea salon. Be
cause of the size of this fashionable
promenade, Gale Florida, the Fifth
avenue of Buenos Aires, is closed to
vehicle traffic from 4 80 to Z 80, says
the World Traveller magazine.
The city imbibes it's coffee and tea
publicly. In the mornings the streets
are congested with walters from
bars carrying nickel pots of Brazil
Ian coffee to tardy office clerks. The
Avenida is swamped with other nom
alcoholic drinkers who, by paying for
a 10-cent cup of coffee at sidewalk
table, get a post of vantage for the
purpose of ogling pretty women out
on shopping expeditions.

That it is bad form to spoon more

entirely drunk?
That when sugar and cream are
added to tea or coffee they should be
stirred with the spoon only enough to
make sure that they are mixed and
that this stirring motion should be a
gentle agitation from side to side of
the cup, and not around and around,
as if beating cake batter?

| contracts, representing actual under
takings, rather than prospective pera-
tons, increased in most cities.
Slight decreases in unemployment
have accompanied the Industrial ac-
tivity in most lines, the board reports.
The advances were most marked, how
ever, in the cotton, steel, meat packing
and sugar refining industries.
The condition of both winter and
spring wheat was regarded as less
favorable than year ago, but the cot
ton crop, as whole, was said to be
in better situation than at this time
last year.
Active distribution Of commodities
was reflected in the heavy movement
Of merchandise and miscellaneous
freight by the transportation lines.
Car loadings continued in the period
covered by the summary to exceed all
previous seasonal records.
The volume of both wholesale and
retail trade increased in May and in
the early weeks of June, as compared
with April. with wholesale dealings in
meat, hardware and shoes showing par.
tlcularly large increases.

Future Doughboys to Be Invincible

GO shots minute in the firing at
Aberdeen.
In many respects the new gun is an
exact counterpart of the 1903 Spring
field and 1t is lighter than the modified
Enfield produced In quantity for the
war. The automatic device applies
only to the breech action for the pur-
pose of ejecting shells and reloading.
1t is necessary to pull the trigger each
time to fire.
Semiautomatic guns have been used
for sporting purposes for years, but
no mechanism suitable for military
purposes has been produced.
What changes in tactics will result
have not yet been worked out. With
the infantry equipped to deliver
nearly three times its present maxi
mum volume of fire, however, and with
infantry companies relieved of the lob
of packing present day automatic rifles
to the front and being greatly slowed
down in movement thereby, 1t Is OBJ
vious that there will be radical changes
In battle tactics when the new gun is
issued.

Youths Pass Severe Physical Tests

men who are members of the
reserve officers training camp
corps now in attendance at the citizens
military training camp which is being
conducted at Fort Meade, only % were
rejected for physical defects, it was an
nOunced.
This percentage Is considered re-
markable by the camp authorities, who
subjected the men TO perhaps the most
thorough examination ever given an
outfit Of soldiers. In addition to the
physical examination other measures
to guarantee the men healthy were
taken. All of the men were vaccinated
against smallpox, inOculated against
typhoid fever, and given the "Schick
test" to determine their, susceptibility
to diphtheria.
All of the work was done under the
supervision of the camp surgeon, DR..
J. M. Coffin, in the laboratory of the
Third corps area which is under the
direction of Maj. P. F. Mcclure of the
army medical corps, assisted by Maj.

CHAKESPEARE called one of his

unpleasant significance: Portia Is
translated from the Latin to mean "of
the pigs" 1t comes from porous, the
Roman word for swine, and the Porcii
were breeders of pigs, according to the
agricultural designations of the old
Latin. But the Romans did not scorn
that particular beast and thought moth
ing of bestowing Its name on several
other clans.
Cato's daughter was called Porcia !;
or, as the Italians spelled it, Porzia
Her fame brought the name into great

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.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's 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
30 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 applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottle,
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if You wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N Y, for

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
tide"

HTIME and tide wait for no
man" is one of the oldest
proverbs in English and 1t is on
account of this antiquity that it
is misunderstood by the vast ma
jority of persons who use it-for
tide" here does not refer to the
movement Of the ocean but to
its original Specification, "oppor-
tunity" or season"
The latter of these is plainly
to be seen in the words Whitsun-
tide and Christmastide which,
though old-fashioned, still may
be found in present-day English,
while Shakespeare, in king
john" says:
What hath this day deserved,
That it in golden letters should
be set
Among the high tides of the cal
endar?
The expression, "Woe betide
you (which might De trans
posed into "Woe await your
is still another indication of the
older and almost forgotten mean
ing of tide" this time in the
sense of occasion. The word
was also long used for a certain
hour or measure of time. thus
the ebb and flow of the sea came
to be called the tide" because
it takes place at appointed sea-
sons or times.
