Useless Government Employes Secretary of Agriculture Meredith has set himself the task of abolishing useless offices and

useless employes. He believes that too many government employes are drawing pay without giving in return an honest day's work. Their resignations are to be demanded, he says. The work of many offices, he believes, can be consolidated with others, thereby both improving the service and reducing its expense. His ambition to cut down expenses in the department of agriculture is a laudable one, very patriotic, and assuredly worthy of our support. But the feeling will not down that the secretary will have a much harder job to cut down the list of employes than,he imagines. It is easy to announce a program of retrenchment, but a mighty difficult thing to dismiss federal employes. Secretary Meredith has overlooked the influential part which politicians play when their friends are to be ousted from their jobs. Friends, politicians and special interests get busy without delay, so that usually the intention of the head cf a department to oust incompetents is frustrated effectively before his plans are well under way.

It is easy to create new public jobs and ap-

backing of a strong public opinion to help him win his fight. Usually public opinion is slow to arouse and often its enthusiasm for retrenchment soon cools off. The apathy which the people show toward extravagance is best illus

trated by their unconcern over the amazing disclosures of waste in the conduct of war. Millions of dollars are involved in these reve

lations of an . extravagant waste of the public

funds, but the people do not seem to care. For instance, Chairman Graham, of the house war investigation committee, has shown that the town and plant of Nitro, which cost the government $70,000,000, about 100 per cent more than it was worth, will be sold for $8,500,000. This project cost $35,000,000 more Jhan it was worth in the first place, and now the government intends to sell it for $8,500,000 and throw in for nothing material estimated to be worth $9,000,000. One would believe that the people would demand that the government obtain at least a fair salvage price for the plant, but somehow we permit this waste to go on without clamor and opposition. And while federal officers tolerate these conditions, the government tells us that the high cost of living is attributable to extravagance in our households and to our desire to live beyond cur means. It is perfectly clear to some of us that if the public money is squandered by the hundreds of millions some one will have to pay the bills. And that some one is the taxpayer. When

ever a dollar is wasted in the administration of the government, we pay for it in taxes. The greater our taxation, the less money we have for investments, savings, and other purposes. All the advice of the government about the necessity of hard work and of thrift 'is almost

an insult in comparison with the reckless man-

Dinner Stories

"Does the crowing of our rooster annoy you?" inquired the considerate neighbor. "No." said Mr. Crossllots. "When food is so scarce. I'm proud to be reminded that there is poultry In the neighborhood." An Irishman was leaning against a post when a funeral procession passed. "Who's dead?" some one asked. "I don't know." answered the Irishman., "but I presume it's the person in

me ironi carriage. .

Mr. Brown has a girl who is willing.

active and obedient, and gives her

master and mistress every satisfaction. But Mary has one fault she is very

forgetful. Whenever the family sit

cown to dinner the bell has to be

rung, as something is Invariably dis

covered to ce missing say, a spoon,

the bread, the salt, etc. The other day the bell was rung as usual. The girl hurried to the rlning room. "Mary," said Mr. Brown, "just run nnd fetch the big stepladder down from the attic and bring it here." Mary, who had been disturbed at her dinner, gave a grunt of dissatisfaction and ran up the three flights of fctairs to fetch down the heavy ladder. In about five minutes she returned to the. room, panting with her exertions. "And now," said Mr. Brown, "put it up at the end of the table and climb to the top." Mary did as she was told, and when she was at the top Mr. Brown quietly observed: "Mary, you have now got a better view than we have; Just look round and tell us if you can see the salt on

the table. Your mistress and I cannot find it." That did it.

Today's Talk By Georgs Matthew Adams

V WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH AMERICA? The biggest trouble with America is that it needs to get to work! Money is coming too easily to thousands who have no understanding of money value. Their idea Is to see how little they can do for the largtst price The other day there was a call for 10,000 men to shovel snow in New York. A dollar an hour was t.-ftered. But only 3.000 reported! The farmer than whom there is

no better citizen of any country is gel ting discouraged. He is thinking i'f cutiir.i; down his crops and stock or of selling out and moving to the city cr somewhere where he can sit cn thu front porch and watch the crowd go by, himself. He can't get help. Easy work and big pay is the motto of the hour! It isn'i th1 fashion to milk cows and feed pigs and plough corn. Work has taken on "stylo," and these things are now acclaimed as "old fashioned!"

The backbone of the prosperity of any country lies in its railroads and farms. And not. for a half century has there been so little progress in railroad -building as at the present time in America. Aa for the tainia-- i;i y are crying out Cor workers to move fruit that is rotting on the ground and to till soil for tin; coming crops. And unless those things are done, the cost of living will soar until it can't be reached at all. What's the matter? Old fashioned WORK has Rone out of style! America faces one of two things its greatest prosperity, or its greatest panic! It can't have both. If the panic comes, there will be no prosperity. If prosperity comes in all its reality folks have got to work. And this means everybody, both in low and hih estate. Big production means low costs. The good wage, hard work and everybody working because they like to work, go together. When there aro enough folks planting the seeds for the food for hens, the hens will lay plenty of eggs and they won't cost a dollar a dozen cither!

When two Wives Meet A

Secretly, every wife is fiercely ambitious for her husband his success, appearance, strength his standing among his fellow men. Be worthy of that wife of yours. Keep healthy I Strength, appearance, success depend on health. Living habits today are largely artificial indoor sedentary. To be healthy, we must regard Nature's laws. And one of the first of her laws is "Avoid Constipation. Keep the poisons of intestinal matter moving out of your body." By an entirely new principle Nujol will keep the poisonous waste moving out of the body. Every other form of treatment either irritates or forces the system. Nujol works on the waste matter instead of on the system. , Nujol prevents constipation by keeping the food waste soft, thus helping Nature establish easy, thorough bowel evacuation at regular intervals the healthiest habit in the world. It is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take try it. Nujol j told by all drugfUts in sealed bott!- only bearing Nujol trade mark. Write Nujol Laboratories, Standard Oil Co.

A New Method of Treating an Old Complaint

Rev. Dudley B. Ashford, Noted Preacher and Lecturer, Well Known on Three Continents, Was Ordered to Give Up Work. Revernd Dudley B. Aphford Is an extraordinary man. Although still on the sunny side of forty, he has crowded more service to humanity into a few years than most men accomplish in a life-time. Soon after his graduation from Harley college, London, England, he was ordained minister at the famous New Court Congregational church, London. A short time thereafter he was selected to present the cause of Coneo Reform and African Missions before the people of Nodway. and toured that land with such success that he was greeted by enormous crowds at every meeting. In 190S. under the auspices ot the Colonial Missionary Society, he was sent to New Zealand, and for three years labored as a missionary among the Maoris, where his experiences were novel and thrilling. In 1916 he returned to England and served for three years at Wood street Congregational church, Cardiff. South Wales, the biggest Congregational church in the British Empire. It was while here that he fellone of the early victims of the great 1918 flu epidemic, an attack from which he had not fully recovered when he accepted a call to the Queen's Road Congregational church. St. John's, Newfoundland, where his forceful preach

ing soon attracted record congrega- J

tions. The strain of this work upon his undermined constitution proved too severe and he suffered a nervous breakdown, from which now, however, he has completely recovered. Moved by a desire to serve his fellow men,

he has recently written a letter that tells how he was restored to health and strength. Moved by Gratitude. This letter, addressed to the Tanlac Co., Atlanta, Ga., is an eloquent expression of gratitude and is as follows: "Gentlemen: Your medicine, known aa 'Tanlac,' has been such an inestimable blessing to me that I feel constrained to write and tell you so. In October, 1918, while a minister of the Wood Street Congregational church, Cardiff, South Wales. I had a severe attack of the Spanish influenza, from the effects of which I never fully recovered. I lost twenty-eight pounds in weight and was unable to recover my usual energy. "Then in February, 1919, I became the minister of the Queen's Road Congregational church at St. John's, Newfoundland. My ministry was attended with great success, but the strain proved too great for me and I had a serious breakdown. My nerves seemed to go all to pieces and my digestion became so deranged that I could

A PROCLAMATION Whereas, the people of our city have been led to pur- i chase so-called remediesfrom which they have received .-: no benefit whatever, and having thus wasted so much hard-earned money, it has come to pass that they know ", not what to believe. Inasmuch as this unsatisfactory state of affairs exists, KNOW, THEREFORE, ALL PERSONS who are : in need of such a medicine that we will supply them with VINOL on a POSITIVE GUARANTEE that ; if it does not succeed in benefiting them we will refund .? the entire amount of money paid us for it. There is no one medicine that will cure everything, but there are some we know to be honest, reliable, and of great curative value. Such is VINOL; it is not a secret medicine, just peptonate of iron and all the curative extractives of cod liver oil, combined with other bodybuilding and strength-creating ingredients. The com plete formula is on each label. We KNOW, that it should benefit every one who uses it. Could any olTer be more fair than this? You are ill; we offer you medicine which we believe will help you, and if it does not we will return your money. Is there - . anyone foolish enough not to accept this offer? YouvV owe it to your family, to your friends, and yourself to try this medicine which we give you our pledge is a genuine cod liver and iron preparation of great merit. We unhesitatingly recommend Vinol as a Body Builder and Strength Creator for Feeble Old People, . Delicate Children, Frail Women. AU Run Down Persons, and Those Needing a Good Tonic after any Severe Illness, and for Coughs and Colds. Do you think we could afford to lend our name to its praises, as we have been doing in ihe newspapers, if we did not know VINOL to be an honest and unusually valuable remedy for the ills for which it is prescribed? We certainly could not ; we therefore ask you, our neighbors, friends and acquaintances to accept our assurances that this is a genuine offer, and that any and all persons who need a medicine of this character should feel a sense of security in accepting it Call and get a bottle to-day. You won't be sorry. Clem Thistlethwaite, Druggist, Richmond You can get Vinol at the Leading Drug Store in every Town and City in this State.

Rev. Dudley B. Ashford, Noted ,

Preacher, Lecturer and Missionary. eat scarcely anything. My heart gave me a lot of trouble; it was an effort ;, to walk upstairs and at night I used j to lie awake in continual dread lest j

my heart should stop beating altogether. "Then, as a result of exposure one winter's night, in a small boat, while in the execution of my duties. I was seized with violent pains in the right shoulder and arm, which nearly drove me to distraction. I consulted doctors and specialists and underwent masEage and electrical treatment, without getting much relief. I was ordered to :give up preaching and public work gor at least three months, and I began to fear that my health was permanently affected. He Had Been Skeptical. "I had always been rather skeptical of the testimonials concerning the merits of any medicine, but one day I read the statement of a man whose symptoms seemed to be identical with my own, and his praise of Tanlac rang so true I decided to give it a trial myself. I bought a botlte and its effect was almost immediate. My nervous condition began to disappear and I began to sleep at night. My appetite so increased that I could scarcely satisfy it, and I found myself puting on weight rapidly. vBy the time I had taken the fourth bottle, the pains In my arm and shoulder disappeared and I am feeling better today than for a long time past. "I feel that I should be guilty of base ingratitude if I did not write and tell you what a boon Tanlac has been to me, and I give you this unsolicited testimonial to use as you may think best, in the hope that others may find in your wonderful medicine the means to restored health and strength." Tanlac is sold in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite, and by' the leading druggists in every town. Advertisement. -
