CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION
Catarrh is as much a blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. It may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. It breaks
down the general health, weakens the
lung tissues, and leads to consumption, j
Hood's Sarsaparilla is so successful ,
in the treatment of catarrh that it is i
known as the best remedy for this dis
ease. It purifies the blood. Ask your
druggist for it.—Advertisement.

QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets
That is the joyful cry of thousands
since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tab
lets, the substitute for calomel.
Dr. Edwards, a practicing phvsician
for 17 years and calomel's old-time
enemy, discovered tlie formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers
I)r. Edwards' Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing, sooth
ing vegetable laxative.
No griping is the "keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab
lets. They cause the bowels and liver
to act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
If you have a "dark brown mquth"
now and then—a bad breath—a\iull
tired feeling—sick headache—torphi
liver and are constipated, you'll find
quick, sure and only pleasant results
from one or two little Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets at bedtime.
Thousands take one or two every
night just to keep right. Try them. 10c
and 26c per box. All druggists.

SWEEPING CKE
URGED FOR "RILL"
| Economy and Efficiency Commis
j sion Presents Numerous Sug
gestions For Government
WILL BE MUCH STUDIED
Next Legislature Will Get the Re
port and Will Decide What
to Do About It
Governor John K. Tenef will trans
mit to the Legislature, which meets a
'week from to-morrow, the report of
the State Economy and Efficiency
Commission, hut the question of legis
lation to carry Into effect the sweep
ing changes recommended by the com
mission will be left to the Incoming
administration. The report of the
commission offering a plan for improv
ing the business methods of the Penn
sylvania State government, modern
izing many things, abolishing some de
partments, consolidating others and
creating new ones, a multitude of sug
gestions, was made public by the Gov
ernor last night.
To carry into effect all of the
changes recommended by the commis
sion would require a couple of consti
tutional amendments, a couple dozens
of bills and a general overhauling of
the business system, some of which
would be highly beneficial. The re
port, which is, of course, only sugges
tive and does not authorize anything,
is the work of the Economy and Effi
ciency Commission, named as the re
sult of the flurry over dual office hold
ing in the last session. It was voted
$25,000 to make a study of the whole
State governmental system, but the
Governor cut down the funds to $lO,-
000. Harry S. McDevitt, former as
sistant executive controller and statis
tician of the State Board of Public
Charities, one of the best posted men
on Capitol affairs, was named as chair
man. Jacob Soffel, Pittsburgh, and
Henry D. Jones, Montrose, ex-cashier
of the State Treasury, were named
with him, but Mr. Jones resigned be
cause of pressure of other work, and
W. H- Fisher, Brownsville, succeeded
him. The work has been under way
for six months or more.
Legislature Not Touched
The report does not touch the Leg
islature or the judiciary, saying that
it did not have time to go beyond the
legislative branch and that the General
Assembly methods can be studied dur
ing a session. The Department of
Internal Affairs, recommended to be
abolished in 1913, and the Insurance
Department, just reorganized, the De
partment of Labor and Industry, the
Fire Marshal's office and some other
new offices are also passed by. The
Hoard of Publie Charities Is recog
nized for its work and recommenda
tions for facilitating it are given.
What will interest Harrisburg peo
ple is the recommendation for civil
service on Capitol Hill with a retire
ment fund or pension system, the
drafting of a whole new system of
bookkeeping to be uniform for the
whole State government, by the Bank
ing Commissioner, Auditor General
and State Treasurer; hours of 3 to 5
with 9 to 12 on Saturdays and whole
Saturday holidays in July and August
and semimonthly pay. Instead of
monthly, and to be paid direct by the
State Treasurer, who is recommended
to be given two new clerks and in
creases for some now in office.
The commission recommends "thaL
the next session of the Legislature
, make an appropriation for the imme
diate erection of an office building
'within the area known as Capitol
Park. The idea on the "Hill" is for
extension of the three wings toward
the extension area.
Aim of the Commission
In opening its recommendations the
report says:
"It is universally understood in the
business world that to commend abil
ity, thereby bringing into business en
terprises efficiency, it is necessary to
provide compensation commensurate
with the responsibilities and duties
imposed. This principle, however, is
not to any great extent found in the
administration of State governments.
Well regulated business enterprises in
order to prevent waste and duplication
of labor undergo a process of reor
ganization at least every decade,
eliminating unnecessary divisions and
departments and centralizing and con
solidating others. Such a system is
just as important, if not doubly im
portant, in the administration of the
affairs of a Commonwealth, the neces
sity tor which is emphasized because
of the establishment by the General
Assembly from time to time of new
departments, boards and commissions.
With this thought in mind the com
mission has recommended the consoli
dation of certain branches of the State
Government, the elimination of others
and the creation of new departments
with a view to putting State affairs
on a sound businesslike basis." <
The Recommendations Arc as Follows
Civil service is to secure efficiency
through Continued employment.
Retirement of State employes on
half pay who have served twenty-five
years or who are over seventy years
of age and have served twenty years
or more. There are 5,152 positions on
the State payroll and the annual pay
ment is given as $3,61 3,409.44, being
divided as follows: Eleven hundred
and sixty-nine positions created by
statute, paying $2,000,560; 2,752 by
legislative appropriation, paying sl,*-
152,258.90 and 1,232 created by con
tingent funds, paying $4 30,590.54.
State Board of Examiners, to take
place of all except medical board
bureau, to have authority to call in
experts and to conduct all examina
tions.
All positions to be created by legis
lative enactment; 9 to 5 office hours
for all departments; uniform ac
counting and bookkeeping; semi
monthly pay; payment through treas
ury instead of departments an office
building in Capitol Park Extension
and a branch post office and central
mailing and addressing office in the
Capitol. All payments to institutions to
be made monthly instead of quarterly,
is also suggested.
Change in the date of the Gover
nor's election so that a new adminis

Reorganizing the Attorney General's

Justice whereby all departments will

or traveling advisor service and estab
lishment of experimental farms in

Legislation to give Bunking Com
■ mlssioner authority to close up all de
! funct or insolvent concerns, doing:
•uway with receiverships,
i Charts showing the relationship of
j officials and employes in the depart
! ments are submitted for the first
time.
In addition to the forty-three rec
ommendations the report says in re
gard to dual office holding, "We rec
ommend that legislation be enacted
combining offices wherever duties are
compatible and providing one salary
for all services." It is held that the
system of making subordinates clerks
has been in the main an economical
one as to provide one clerk to give
sole time to each board would be too
expensive.
It is also stated, "the commission
disapproves of the practice of using
the contingent fund to increase the
compensation of positions created by
statute at a fixed salary. If, present
salaries are inadequate they should be
referred to the General Assembly for
readjustment."
The report commends a number of
the departments, notably the Depart
ment of Health, which is commended
as conducted on strictly business prin
ciples. It is recommended that this
department be given the Livestock
Sanitary Board, whose inspectors
should have powers enlarged so as to
be able to inspect retail meatshops,
the dairy and food division with an
increase of six inspectors and thatUhe
inspection of bakeshops and ice cream
plants should be transferred to the
Department of Health from Labor
and Industry. A liberal appropriation
to establish the Bureau of Housing, a
larger appropriation for the medical
inspection of schools: funds to extend
the dispensaries from tuberculosis to
other communicable diseases and in
crease of the sanitoria at Cresson and
Hamburg.
The plan for the Department of
Conservation calls for a commissioner
at $7,500 and chief*, of forestry, game
and fish at $3,000 each.
The reorganization of the Attorney
General's Department interested the
Capitol to-day, as such a recommen
dation had been anticipated. The re
port disapproves of the practice of
each department having its own coun
sel and says all legal work should be
in a department of justice as the out
side service has cost as much in a
year as the whole Attorney General's
office. The staff would be under the
proposed plan: Attorney General at
$12,000; solicitor general at $7,500;
five deputies at $5,000 each, five as
sistants at $3,000 each, five stenog
raphers, three law clerks, one clerk
and a messenger. In the Department
of tho Secretary of the Common
wealth recommendations for increases
of salaries for the corporation bureau
are recommended because of the char
acter of the work. The Adjutant Gen
eral is recommended for some more
of the clerical force so badly needed.
The Taxation Commission to have
charge of all settlement and collec
tion of taxes is an old idea. The mem
bership would be three, the selections
to be made by the Attorney General,
State Treasurer and Auditor General.
The plan is proposed that the nurs
ery inspectors be transferred in win
ter to the farmers' Institutes bureau
and that thejP be used in place of im
ported lecturers. The reason for wip
ing out tho farm advisors is that the
State College is doing some of the
same work. Incidentally, the report
while recommending liberality In ap
propriations to State College, warns
It to devote more attention to agricul
' tural work. The new penitentiary
and Warden Francies are highly
praised.
