CEORCIANS NOT
AFTER CIVIL
SERVICE JOBS
State Is Allowed 936 Employees
and Has Only 434 On
The kolIS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 21.-
That Georgians do not care particu-
larry for government positions, or if
they do they do not wish to go away
from home to get them, is indicated
IN report made by the Civil Serv-
ice Commission to Senator VIM. ].
Harris. Looking out for the inter-
est of Georglans Senator Harris has
had the Commission to delve into its
records and it has been ascertained
chat while Georgia is entitled to
have $50 classified employees in the
departmental service in Washington
there are only 434 on the rolls.
Demonstrating Senator Harris re-
Quested detailed data on the subject
and the Commission sets forth that
Georgians do not qualify for the po-
sitions.. There is little response TO
the appeal through the civil serv-
ice examinations and of those taking
the examination only small per-
centage pass. The demand in Wash
mgton for stenographers and typists
IS especially heavy and it is in this
class that the large per centage must
go. The departments stand ready to
certify eligibles from Georgia for
these percentages if they can be OBJ
aimed, says the Commission.
Illustrating the situation the Civil
Commission says that during the past
year only 10 people in Georgia took
the examination for stenographer
and typist in Georgia and of those
My six passed. This examination
was recently changed in Georgia to
include junior stenographer and typ

Alice proved to be the most eff

number of occasions that the rela-
lions between H. Hedge and his Sec
'etary were of the most cordial char
acter. ,awswK.g
Alice was impatient at repeated
evidences of amicable hours between
the chief plotter and the victim. She
still had confidence in her sister, wha

HOW TO GET RID
Of MUSCLE-LAMENESS
Beach Patrolman Advises
this Treatment

After exposure to dampness and cold,
and after hard exercise, muscles will
stiffen up and get lame.
A beach patrolman at Atlantic City
writes that he has found this treat
ment the quickest and most effective
way to take out the stiffness and pain:
"Just pat on little of Sloan's
Liniment. Don't rub. It's the lini-
ment-not the rubbing-that helps.
You'll get relief right away. I've tried
all sorts of other things, but nothing
gets results like Sloan's."
Hundreds of letters like this tell of
the wonderful relief from muscular
pain that Sloan's gives.
Sloan's gets results because it
doesn't Just deaden pain, it gets at the
cause. Right to the place that hurts
it brings a healing stream of fresh,
new blood. Quickly and surely it
carries off the "fatigue-poisons, takes
out stiffness and drives away the aches
and pains.
Get bottle today and have it on
hand. All druggists-35 cents.

A most extraordinary day came
when Constance, having been excess

radiant smile went with the pernnis-

The occasion, being of moment
