T..e s:arcity of aprjlicants for enumerators indicates that men capable of doing this work are pretty well employed. In this connection the Director has issued to the census supervi sors a detailed statement of the classification of rates adopted for the compensation of enumerators in the Thirteenth Census, com mencing April 15 noxt. There are three general rates the per capita, the mixed, and the per diem. The first and second general rates have five subdivisions each. The per diem rates range from $3 to $3.50, $4. $4 50, $5, $5.50 and $6, and are to be paid for a day of eight hours' work. For enumerators on the per cap ita basis, which will be that most widely used, tbe pay for each in habitant is: Class A, 2 cents; rlass B, 2 cents; class C, 3 cents; class D, zVt cents; and class E, 4 cents. Such enumerators will also be paid for each farm as follows: Class A, 20 cents; class B, 22lz cents; class C, 25 cents; class D, 27 cents, and class E, 30 cents. These rates are in each case 5 cents or more higher than paid in 1900, when the range was from 15 to 20 cents. For each establishment of produc tive industry the rate for each class is 30 cents. For each barn and in closure containing livestock, not on farms, the pay is 10 cents for each class. Under the mixed rate, which is a combination cf the per capita and the per diem, there are five sub classes alphabetically arranged, and the per diem is: Class F, $1; G, $1.25; II, $1.50; I, $1.75; and J, $2. For ea.h inhabitant the pay is: Class F, 2 cents; G, 2 cents, II, 24 cents; I, 21. cents; and J, 3 cents. For each farm: Class F, 15 cents; G, 17 cents; II, 17 cents; I and J, 20 cents each. For each establishment of productive industry the rate is 20 cents for each class. Government to Print Postals. An innovation was instituted yesterday by the Government, when, for the first time in the his tory of the counsry, Uncle Saw be gan the printing of his own postal cards. The work is being done at the Government printing office. Un til all of the new presses are in stalled the issue will be approxi mately 1,500,000 a day, aud later it will aggregate 3,500,000 a day. As soon as the special equipment for printing has been established a new card, to be known as the index, or library card, will be issued. Impossible to foe Well It is impossible fo be well, simply impossible, if the bowels are constipated. You must pay attention to the laws of nature, or suffer the consequences. Undigested material, waste products, poisonous substances, must be removed from the body at least once each day, or there will be trouble. A sluggish liver is responsible for an immense amount of suffering and serious disease. Ask your doctor about Ayer's Pills. He knows why they act directly on the liver. Trust him. TJnnj.

Pro- The Court at Pottsville on Mon day handed down an unanimous opinion deciding that while a brew ery corporation may own real es tate where there is a licensed saloon yet they must have no interest in the business. The Court declares: Any arrangement by which the tenant undertakes to purchase and sell exclusively the product from the brewery of the owner would be a violation of the spirit of the stat ute, at least; the interest in the lessee's license would be direct, and not an incident. Upon the grounds of public policy it would be forbidden, would be a con'ract in restraint of trade, vicious in its tendencies and wholly illegal. We will not permit such contracts to stand, aud where such a one is proven it will appeal to our discre tion in refusing the license. To acquire property in which there is a license, in the course of their business transactions, could not be complained of so long as the purchaser has disposesed himself of the property so acquired, as soon as he possibly could after its acqui sition, without loss. There can be no doubt that the large acquisition of property in which there are licenses by these different brewing companies can only be for one purpose, and that is to control the sale of the product of their several establishments in the properties so acquired. No transparent subterfuge of transfer ing property to an employe of the firm or a holding corporation, or a purchase in the name of an employe or member of the firm will be of any avail. There is no disposition on the part of the Court, at this time, however, to revoke these licenses for the causes alleged. Courtesy In Young Girls. Young girls are apt to be some what thoughtlessly discourteous, and are quite oblivious of the irre mediable evil often wrought by want of thought. Such girls should bear in mind the lesson in courtesy given by a father t his daughter. "My child," said he, "treat everybody with politeness, even though th;y are rude to you. I'or, remember that you show courtesy to others, not because they are laJies, but because you are one." "Home Notes." We endorse these sentiments of Jlome AWej, but we do not think that they need be restricted to "young girls" in their application. There are a good many other peo ple in this world who might re member this. Horses Increasing. Notwithstanding the popularity of the automobile and its growing adaptability to commercial needs the number of horses increased in the United States during the past year neany a million. The aver age price of the horses has increas ed from $95.64 to $108.19. The latter is probably accounted for in part by the fact that horse raisers everywhere have been gradually improving their strains, though economic laws teach U9 that when feed stuffs are high the price of horses and cattle should be low. WASHINGTON From our Regular Correjpondent. Washington, I). C.Jan. 29, 1910. Congress has at last awakened to the folly nnd extravagance of at Icnst one of its "junkets" and it is possible that in the investigation and scandal in which a number of Senators aud Members will have their reputatiens pretty badly marr ed, enough public indignation may be aroused to put an end to this silly waste of public funds. The public is perhaps not aware that it is a part 01 ttie business ot every session of Congress to provide for a half dozen more or less o; these junketing parties and to appropri ate the money for them. A few Senators and Representatives get together and decide that something needs investigating They are careful that the something shall l e in some interesting part of the world with a good cli:i.ae for the season selected and that the party shall be piovid ed with plrrty of money for a trip t: ken in the most luxurious man ner. If it is to be in the United States private cars with refrigera tors and buffets packed with the best of everything to eat and drink are provided. The family of each junketer is invited and Congress men who honestly shine their own boots nt home to save expense take with them Secretaries aud stenog raphers who are frequently mem bers of their own family. Accom modations are reserved in he best hotels, carriages, automobiles, champagne and cigars are part of the "necessary expense". In the particular junketing party now un der fire items for shaves, shoe shines and cigarr help to swell a fat total for a trip that included all the im portant countries of Europe, lei surely visited during one summer. it appears 10 oe a lamentaijie ne cessity that in the undertaking of any reform only a few of the guil ty are made to suffer for a general wrong in which many have shared. The Immigration Committee which has about as little excuse for existing as auy Committee in Congress is the one selected for demonstrating the enormity of this particular species of graft. Just why it should be so no one seems to know. A private grudge, per haps the still painful sting of hav ing been frozen out of the picnic or some other small spite may ex plain it, and while those who com posed it are smarting under the in justice of having been forced into the limelight for a crime of which nearly all of Congress is guilty, the public may profit to the extent of having the practice abolished forever. It will be dismal for Con gress to face a juuketless season, just as it was a cruel blow when it was called upon to pay its own rail road fares but with economy and reform the slogan of every faction these privileges and perquisites must be eliminated oue by one. It would be impossible without the records spread before one to enum erate the number, size and expense of the Congressional junkets of the last few years. One of the great est was that now famous for auoth er reason in which President, then Secretary Taft took a whole ship load ot ptople to the Fhillipines, Japan and China to investigate that part of the earth or perhaps it was just to show Alice Roos;velt to the Filipinos! This party however I think paid at least a part of its ex penses. Then there are the Pana ma junkets in which a great party composed of men who would not know a steam shovel from an ore crusher are taken with their wives and families aud lu ngers 011 to Panama just as the weather gets disagreeable at the Capital. Ev ery summer a -batch of Congress men are conveyed in princely fash ion to Alaska. Once you will re member the Speaker of the House was one of the party and when he arrived at the Alaskan destination he could not be pried loose frcm a poker game to go ashore. At least that is the story. The denial fol lowed later and a mystic hush fell on the gossipers. There are al ways things requiriug investigation in Southern California, in Cuba, sometimes even in Mexico. They are good winter climates. One member has beeu three times to the Orient, once to Alaska, pretty well all over the United States and if he ever drew a check during one of the trips it was to pay perhaps for the fine lace which his family wears and which be brought in duty free. Some of our Representatives need travel. That no one aware of their provincial limitations and views can deny. They need contact with other peoples, the enlargement of their mental horizon, the extension of their sympathies but if Congress is going to educate its members by travel kindergartens it should be done openly and the money should be appropriated for the en lightenment of provincial states men. To put the matter under the guise of "investigations" with each man empowered to elect him. Music by Collins Wireless Telephone at Electrical Show. In the electrical world, the new est thing is opera by wireless tele phone. At the Coliseum, Chicago where tha Fifth Annual E'ectrica Show was held, it was demonstrat ed beyond a doubt that the day has come for the transmission of in atrumental or vocal .nusic over dis tances without wires A small party of electrical men, guests of A Frederick Collies, inventor of the wireless telephone, Had an opera party, "via wireless,' in which they heard and enjoyed the first act of II Trovntore, by the Na tional Opera Company, at the great Northern Theatre, by means of a portable transmission set. Every body in the party distinctly heard the vciccs of the opera singers in ensemble aud solos. The Grst test along these lines waj made with the assistance of Maurice Levi at Rockaway Beach, in the summer of 1909, in which band music was transmitted from the stage of the American Theatr to receiving instruments with meg aphonic attachments doivu th Boardwalk, several blocks away Scientists anticipate wireless con tiection witn music in t lie neir future briuging into homes the best works of the maste:s in all parts of the world. A Tuberculosis Experiment. A very interesting experiment was .started by a friend of nunc Doctor Pratt, of Boston the tu berculosis class in connection with a church," savs Dr. WillUm Osier in Woman's J fame Companion for February. It is a nice sort of practical religion for any church to undertake. Doctor Pratt's first class consisted of fifteen or twenty persons, clriely young clerks, all in the early stage of the disease, and and all still at work. He met them once a week in a room off the school room of the church, and there they discussed their cases with him. They were weighed every week, a careful analysis was made of their symptoms how much they had gained, or how much they had lost. Each oue took his own tempera ture, aud brought his note book, tnd it is a remarkable record of several years' work that has been carried on. A number of these young persons, some with quite well-marked symptoms of the dis eas?, h .ve been completely cured without going to a sanatorium, without going away and while con tinuing their work. I kuow of no more encouraging feature in con nection with this disease than this practical experiment, which has oeeu carried out so successfully." The Meat"Boycott The meat abstainers in Cleveland have succeeded in forcing down the price of pork chops from 19 to 17 cents per pound, aud are much encouraged. Their plan of a to day boycott has found imitators in other Ohio towns and in Omaha aud Milwaukee. It will, no doubt, if followed up, lead the Meat Trust to enlarge its facilities for cold stor age and to send larger shipments of surplus stock to outside markets. Concessions are mainly obtained from local dealers who are com pelled to get rid of stocks on hand. A saner method of compulsion upon t'.e part of meat eaters,, which would result in benefit to their health no less than their pockets, would be to resolutely abstain from eating moat more thin once a day irom this time on, and to band to gether to procure the free entry in to the country of cattle from Cau adaand Mexico. In both of these neighboring couutries not only beef, pork, mutton and dairy pro ducts but other food stuffs, are selling at moderate prices as com pared with cold storage rates in the United States. To successfully ooycott our Trusts we must carry the war into the ballof-box. Phil adelphia Record felf to the junket which best suits the taste of his family is a clumsy attempt to deceive the ultimate tax payer. ' ' The Pinchot-Balliuger investiga tion has begun and the room in which it is conducted is crowded with interested listeners. Mean while, it is said the Senate com mittee on public lands will not re port favorably Secretary Ballin ger's bill authorizing him to make withdrawals of public lands at his discretion. Mr. Garfield, former Secretary of the interior, appeared before the committee urging the ooj action that this power is already lodged in the president and that to agitate the subject won would only raise the question as to the legality of the withdrawals made by Presi dent Roosevelt.
