of more than $500, which is
81 900 less than he now is getting
from the Government under the title
of prohibition commissioner.
Should he be made commissioner
by permanent appointment ne would
receive the salary of $4,000. The
positions of deputy commissioners
were placed by the classification board
in the class with salary range from
5000 to $4,000.

Given Temporary Status.
All officers and employees in the pro-
hibition unit, including Mr.. Haynes
himself, have been given certain
temporary civil service status, and as
soon as possible examinations will be
held by the Civil Service Commission,
and priority list will be set up, from
which appointments are to be made
regularly. If Mr.. Haynes is given
a permanent appointment as prohlDi.
ton commissioner, however, he would
be without the provisions Of the civll
service, as that one post is exempted
by law. j.
Mr.. Haynes has held the title OF
prohibition commissioner since June
II, 1921, when he was appointed by
President Harding from Hillsboro,
Ohio. where he had been editor Of
newspaper. His first post with the
Federal Government was the one
whose title he now holds. Mr.. Haynes
was a prominent worker in prohibition
campaigns before his appointment.
For years he held the actual as
well as the nominal reins Of the pro-
hibition unit, of which he was the
head, although he was under the au-
thority of the commissioner OF in
ternal revenue.

trate all authority in one head for
the more effective prosecution of the
prohibition war along all fronts. Mr..
Haynes was gradually relegated to
less and less authority. although he

velopment and the intricacies Of the
prohibition machine.

In a statement approving the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Haynes. Mr. Wheel

consistent thing for Secretary Mellon
to do"
His record merits the confidence
placed In him." he added.
On the contrary, Senator Edwards
Democrat, of New Jersey. a wet, de-
clared the appointment would be a
distinct shock to prohibitionists and
anti-prohibitionists," and that he was
confident that Secretary Mellon ap-
pointed Haynes against his own wishes
and convictions and against the advice
of Gen. Andrews"
Gen. Andrews can do nothing but
resign If he wishes to continue the
high standards Of enforcement which
he has set UP and followed" he said.

Occa. sionAlly also the disease appeared to be especially favored by fatigue, chill. exposure. improper food. or tho excessive use of alcohol or to- bacco. During the war the disease spread widely among the soldiers and was given the common name of ''trench-mouth."
 Many physicians are convinced that the disease is increasing in extent because of the general com- plexity of civilization. Much of the prevention of the disease lies in proper care of the mouth and of the general nutrition.
 When the disease is once estab- blished. it may be controlled by the repeated use of solutions of hydro gen peroxide or by the application of . paste of sodium perborate. as the physician or dentist may ad- wise. In severe cases internal treatment may be necessary, as well as the local application of drugs.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 geia, the Health Magazine
 In 1898 French physician named Vincent described an infec- tion of the mouth and throat due to a peculiar spiral organism.
 Apparently the disease occurred only in man, was accompanied by slight general disturbances with but a small increase in tempera- ture, but there was pain on swal- lowing. enlargement of the glands and yellowish gray membrane in the mouth and throat. Because of this membrane, the disease was often mistaken for diphtheria until the differences were clearly estab- lished.

Never will that first night of the circus be forgotten on. the Greer Meadows. Never had there been such fright Even Johnny Chuck way down in his snug bedroom underground, heard the. voice ot slmba the Lion when he roared, and Johnny and Polly both felt that never again would they dare to poke their noses outside their own doorway. Far over in the Old Past ure. Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy. who had just started out hunting, turned tail and forgot they were hungry. Down into their home they crept as far as they could go.
 Old Man Coyote fled like gray shadow and he. too, crept as far down into his home as he could get. Over in the Green Forest, Chatterer the Red Squirrel and Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel were awakened from sound sleep, shivered and shook, and shook and shivered. Buster Bear lost his appetite. Yes, sir, great big Buster Bear lost his appetite. He crawled under great windfall and lay there. as badly frightened as any of the other lit tie people. Even Hooty the Owl forgot to boot.
 Over in the Old Briar-patch timid little Mrs.. Peter Rabbit orouched down as close to the ground as she could get at the sound or that dreadful voice. She vas so frightened that she lost CT own voice. Peter Rabbit himself was no better off. Those who usu- ally spend their nights at home sleeping. on this night spent it at home wide awake and shivering. inose who usually spend their nights out hunting lost all desire 10 hunt. Never in the history Of the Green Meadows did so many little people lose their appetites all at the same time.
 t was the same way lib in the Old Orchard. IL was the same way just as far as that great voice could be heard. Fear was evervwhere. and the worst Of il was they had no idea what 1t was they feared.
 Not one of them ever before had heard that great voice.
 So it was that fear stalked abroad over the land and none know what 1t was that was feared. There was no hunting at all that night. save on the part Of Hooty the Owl. and Hooty went over to the Great Mountain. It seemed as if that night would never end. When daylight came, the great fear re- mained but it was not as great as in the night. The featherea folk began to fly about. for they must eat. Thatterer the Red Squirrel, Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel. Striped Chipmunk. and Rusty the Fox Squirrel. all came out and tried to think they had dreamed that dreadful voice of the night before.
 Did you hear it"" asked Happy Jack of Chatterer.
 '.Do you think I have no hear ing:' replied Chattorer. "Of course heard it. What was it?"
 But this question Happy Jack | couldn't answer. Nor could any one | else 10 whom the question was put. | And now, while there was still the great fear. there was with it great | curiosity.
