BUSINESS MEN

Nation's Prosperity Depends on
His Re-election.
EVERY SECTION FAVORS HIM.
Men of Substance, With Interests of
Country at Heart, Placo Republican
Candidate Above Bull Moose Wrecker
and Democratio Free Trader Good
Times In Sight.
Tlio Evening Post of Now York,
which profpsses nn Independent atti
tude townrd tlio presidential contest,
litis been taking the views of rcprcscnt
ntlve business men In various parts
of the United Stnte on the Improve
ment In business conditions and the
probable lnllnence of that Improvement
oa the national election.
Anions conditions pointing to Increas
ing prosperity and better times for all
branches of trade nnd Industry nro a
wheat crop estimated by the dcixirt
uicnt of nKrlculture In Its report for An
gust nt 5S.000.000 bushels more than
the crop of 1011 nnd exceeded in mag
nitude only in three preceding years;
a corn crop, If not Injured by early
frosts, estimated to bo the third largest
of our yields and 10 per cent larger
than in 1011 nnd n cotton crop re
cently estimated as high as 1-1,000,000
bales, which would bo exceeded only
by tho extraordinary 10.000,000 bales
crop 0 last year. The country's Iron
production of July (usually a "ban)'
meter" of trade) surpassed all records
for the month. Orders on tho books
of tho United States Steel corporation
at the beginning of August were the
largest reported in any month since
tho panic of 1907 and showed the
most rapid ratio of increase, as com
pared with n year ngo, that had over
been recorded. Tho total weekly value
of checks drawn on nil tho country's
banks nnd passed through the clear
ing houses has increased 14 per cent
over 1011, nnd In largo sections of the
west n 20 per cent recovery was re
ported. Along with tills, tho reports
of the railway nssoclntion on the num
ber of railway freight cars idlo in the
United States have lately shown tho
smallest total for this time of year
since 1007.
INTELLIGENT EATING,
BY HARVEY W. WILEY.
Don'4 Eat Moro Than 1 Per Cent of
Your Weight Per Day.
Harvey V. Wiley, formerly chief of
the United State bureau of chemistry,
writes nn Interesting article untitled
"Intelligent Eating" In the October
Woman's Homo Companion. Ho snys
In part:
"Every pound of useless fat which
tho humnu Ix'lng carries is nn impedi
ment to proper activity. A mnn six
feet tail should weigh npproximntcly
00 iwunds. If by strict attention to
his diet nnd excrclso ho can reduce this
weight to 100 or 1S5 jomid3 it would
probably prove beneficial, Imt if his
weight is allowed to rlso to 210, 220,
2.10 or oven 240 pounds ho unllts him
pelf to that oxtcnt for his duties.
"Let any ono who is accustomed to
physical exercise and suited thereto
climb n long, steep hill. If his weight
is normal nnd his health good no can
do this without nny very great fntlffuo.
Let hira then legin at tlio foot of tlio
hill nnd enrry n weight of forty pounds
and note tlio effect that this -will havo.
Tho man who wcighH forty pounds
more tlinn ho should nnd there nro
thousands of them in this land of ours
is forced constantly to carry tills
quite unnecessary handicap.
"Food for special activities or special
I public or private duties is a matter
! which has not received nny very great
scientific attention. No sot nmount of
food can bo arbitrarily chosen for tho
brain worker or other professional man.
' In general it may bo said that n man of
little exercise will eat loss than 1 per
, cent of his weight of dry food per day.
1 Any marked excess of food or oxcos
1 fdvely starchy or sugary food must nlso
! bo avoided by tho man nnd woman of
Rcdentnry habits."
ARMY SIMPLIFIES LETTERS.
HONORS TO LABOR MEN. I
Positions of Public Trust Filled
by Members of Trados Unions.
Washington. Tho Trade Un
ionist, the oQlcInl publication of
organized labor in the District
of Columbia, says:
"Representatives of labor aro
taking high place in public af
fairsofficial, commercial, pro
fessional and civic. Fifteen
members of the house of repre
sentatives Republicans, Demo
crats and one Socialist are
proud possessors of "working
cards" In the craft union which
claimed their efforts beforo en
tering upon tho larger duties of
a wider Held of endeavor. Re
cently tho president of tho Uni
ted States, desiring a wise, keen,
sagacious, practical private sec
retary, found his ideal In Mr.
Carral A. Thompson of Ohio.
"Mr. Thompson comes of a
family of unionists, his father
and six uncles being members
of tho minors' union of his na
tive state. Carml as a boy and
man working beside his father
In the bituminous coal veins of
tho Hocking valley. In his early
manhood Mr. Thompson attract
ed the attention of tho leading
public men of tho state because
of his wide knowledge of work
ingmcn and rare Judgment In
matters pertaining to industrial
conditions. His advance in pub- '
He life was rapid, keeping pneo 1
with his developing popularity. ',
Ho was elected to local and city ;
offices, held Important posts by '.
appointment of tho governor, ;
and was necrotary of state of
Ohio. When appointed secretary '
to the president, ho was assist
ant secretary of the interior.
"Mr. Thompson Is genial,
kindly, sympathetic, and has lost
none of his Interest in tho labor
c-tiu.st' by promotion to command
ing positions In tho public serv
ice, w. n. n."

"Respectfully" and Other Useless
Words Are Barred.
Tho word "respectfully" Is drummed
out of the United States army, togeth
er with "I havo the honor," etc., and
other similar expressions by a now
system of correspondence which is be
ing put Into effect
To reduce as far as possible tho
enormous amount of red tapo In the
army all ceremonials in correspondence
and all sorts of unnecessary nnd su
perfluous expressions havo been barred
from all official letters to bo written
hereafter. In tho list aro included
"Sir," "I have tho honor," "I would
respectfully," "Very respectfully," "Ro
spectfully transmitted," "Respectfully
forwarded" and "Respectfully re
turned." At tho head of each letter It will bo
stated by whom nnd to whom tho let
ter Is written and tho subject theroof.
Officers signing will put only their
names, without titles, etc., as all thoso
aro given in tho heading.
Other radical short cuts nnd reduc
tions In the army's letter writing havo
been effected by tho now system,
which is expected to prove a great
economy of tho time of officers and
clerks as well as a saving of a consid
erable sum of money each year.
CARRY MAIL BY MOTORCYCLE.
Big Citios Will Use It For Collection
if Test Works Well.
Motorcycles are about to bo Intro
duced Into the postal servlco. An ex
perimental route will bo established
in Washington. If it works woll mo
torcycles will be used for collection In
Now York and other largo cities.
Automobiles havo been used In tho
postal servlco for many years. Aero
planes aro also under consideration.
Postmaster Gonernl nitchcock is seek
ing for speed in the collection and de
livery of tlio malls in cities, and ho
has his eyo open for new devices.
WORLD CONVENTION.
Big Meeting of Chambers of Com
merce at Chicago.
By means of a canvass by telegraph,
cable nnd mall It has been ascertained
that moro than 400 business men, rep
resenting everj civilized country in tho
world, with tho exception of Poru nnd
Persia, will attend tho fifth interna
tional congress of chambers of com
merce, to opon In Chicago Oct. 4.
A $25,000 fund Is being raised to
flnanco tho convention.
Under free trade the man who earns
$20 n week now would bo forced to ac
cept either $15 or $12. Tho difference
of $5 or $8. which now goes for cloth
ing, rent, an occasional cigar or a the
ater ticket, possibly a delicacy for tho
homo table, will not bo nt his disposal.
Think of tho several lines of trade
that will lose millions of dollars every
week by such enforced economy!

Reform In Cactus Center.

Wo grab each now thins, pronto, as It

We'ro hardened to tho muckrako, nnd we

Wo ktn post up Billy Bryan on this refer

But It saddens us a trlflo, and wo think
It's costln' dear,
When our ballot so they tell u will be
six feet In tho clear.
Wo love to hear tho roastln' that tho Ina
git from tho outs.
Tlio moro hard names is bandied tho more
tho bis crowd shouts.
We like to sign petitions till wo git tbo
writer's cramp
For turnln' out each rascal and a-pun-
Ishln' each scamp.
But It kinder makes us wonder if It's
worth the heavy cost
When we find our ballot measures some-
thin' like two feet acrost.
We llko to havo things soethln' and
"Llarl" flyln' fast.
We like to hear tho bullots and sea jkjw-
der smoke drift past.
Wo llko to road of ffrillln' and. .of probes

When tho wolves of Kraft aro snarttn' and

Dut wo dread to face that hour when wo

And rouale with a ballot that is six feet

In conformity with legislation onact
cd nt tho last session of congress tho
qunrtormnfiter's, subsistence and pny

volldnted Nov. 1 into one general sup
ply depnrtmont, to bo known ns "tho
quartermaster corps." Major General
James 11. Alcslilre, now quartermaster
general, will bo In charge, with Briga
dier General Henry G. Sharpo, now
commissary general, nnd Hrigndler
General George R. Smith, now paymas
ter general, as his chief assistants.
Active preparations nro In progress
nt the war department for the merging
of tho three stuff departments with a
viow to putting the now law Into ef
fect In tlio United States by Nov. 1
and in the Philippines by Jan. 1, 1013.
In the consolidation It Is proposed to
reorganize the clerical forces of tlio
thrco departments for business pur
poses on tlio following basis:
Ono chief clerk $3,000, flvo chiefs of
division nt $2,-100 each, six principal
clerks nt $2,000 ench, ten clerks class -1
nt $1,800 each, twenty clerks class 3 nt

assistant mnrlno engineer $1,800; total
personnel. 203; total pay, $370,070 per
annum.
Classified Force Undisturbed.
This arrangement contemplates pro
vision for all tho classified employees
In tho existing bureaus with slight
change In classification, but -wltbcut
chnngo in compensation.
With the consolidation, all the ex
isting designations in the quartermas
ter's, subsistence nnd pay departments
will bo discontinued, nnd tho designa
tion "quartermaster corps" alone will
be used for officers of thoso depart
ments. In order, however, to avoid
delay all correspondence until Nov. 1
will bo nddrcssed as in tho past, thus
continuing until that (Into tho desig
nations of commissary general, pay
master general, chief commissary and
chief pnymaster. Thereafter all com
munications concerning the business of
tho throo departments will bo nd
drcssed to the chief of tho quarter
master corps or to tho depot, trans
port or constructing quartermaster, ns
the case may bo.
From now until Nov. 1 nnd so long
after as the accounts, returns and cor
respondence concerning the officers of
commissaries and paymasters require
it for the purpose of elucidation tho
designation of position -will be placed in
parentheses below tho signature nnd
rank, according to tlio following gen
eral form: "Colonel Q. M. Corps, U. S.
A. (Chief Commissary)," or "Major,
Q. M. Corps, U. S. A. (Paymaster)."
Similarly the designations of tho post
commissary nnd tho post quartermas
ter sergeant nro changed to "quarter
master sergeant" and the designation
of nrmy paymaster's clerks is changed
to "pay clerks."
Age Limit For Enlistments.
Tentativo plans subject to tho ap
proval of tho secretary of war fix tho
ngo limit for original enlistments in
tho new qunrtermnster corps at from
eighteen to thlrty-flvo years. That
will apply to thoso who havo not been
employed In either of tho three de
partments. Tho maximum ago limit
of enlistments In the case of unclassi
fied civilian employees probably will
bo extended to forty-flvo years. Va
cancies in tho classified servlco In tho
now department will bo filled by en
listed men only ns they occur, nnd no
classified civilian cmployeo will bo
removed.
Thoso who deslro to resign from their
present position in tho classified serv
ice will bo given nn opportunity to
enlist for tho sarao position. It Is stat
ed, however, thnt ns tho classified em.
ployees in tho Washington offices of
tho three departments como under tho
executlvo departments, they cannot bo
replaced by enlisted men. It Is plan
ned to fill the positions now held by
extra duty men in offices outsldo of
Washington under regulations llko
thoso governing tho transfer of en
listed men of tho llno to tho hospital
corps of tho nrmy. Such employees
will receive credit for past servlco In
tbo lino,
Whllo the enlistment of men for the
quartermaster corps will begin Nov,
1, tho work probably will not bo com
pleted within the following year.
Whence arid Hither?
A sublime passage Is Cnrlylo's vision
of history as n stupendous procession
forth-Issuing from Cimmerian night
and vanishing Into pathetic nnd fath
omless sllctico, which is given no fol
lows In "Surtor Resnrtus:"
"I.Ike some wild flaming, wild thun
doring train of heaven's nrnlllery does
this mysterious mankind thunder and
flame In long drawn, quick succeeding
grandeur through tlio unknown deep.
Llko n God-crentcd, lire breathing spir
it host, wo emerge from the Inane,
hasto stormfully across tho astonished
tnrtli, then plunge again Rito tho inane.
Earth's mountains aro leveled and her
seas filled up In our passago. Can the
earth, which is but dead and n vision,
resist spirits which havo reality nnd
aro nllve? On tho hardest ndamant
some footprint of us Is stamped In; the
last rear of tho host will read traces of
tho earliest van. Hut whence? O heav
en, -whlthor? Senso knows not, faith
knows not, only that it Is through mys
tery to myBtery, from God to God."
Cruel but Necessary,
Tho Eskimos dread tlio winter and
take early precautions to provide
against famlno. As tho season ap
proaches the great herds of reindeer
migrate southward, and tho walrus or
the seal aro nil that remain for food.
When an in wind is blowing tho wal
rus Is easily found on tho outer edge
of tho Ico packs. When It is blowing
off tho shore, however, tlio lco packs
sail out to sea with tho walruses ou
them. The nntives then class their
numbers In a list from the strongest to
tho weakest Tho food that 1r In store
Is divided up, tlio weakest having the
smnllcst quantity, tho strongest tho
largest. Thus tho mightiest hunters
have strength to provide for tho oth
ers. It Is a cruel system, but never
theless a necessary ono. If nil were
wenk, all would die; If some nre strong,
they will save many of the weak.
The Sea Lifts the Grindstones.
From tho bottom of tlio Bay of
Fundy come somo of tho finest grind
stones In the world, and tho manner In
which they nro procured Is simple and
Ingenious, the stonecutters making tho
exceptional tido perform tho hardest
part of tho work. When the tide is
out which happens twice every day,
tho workmen quarry tlio stones from
the solid rock and fasten them to n
big flatboat. Then In comes the tide,
a mighty flood rushing In, as though
the Kreat ocean had suddenly chnnged
Its mind. A wonderful sight It Is
rising often ns high as a housel And
now tho men have nothing more to do.
The tide lifts tlio bont, nnd up comes
tho stono with it Boat and stone nro
then brought close inshore, where the
stono is removed nt leisure when the
tido is out Argonaut.
A Fitting Reply.
Major Lomnx of the United States
nrmy was visiting in Canada soon
after tho war of 1812. Ho was enter
tained In Quebec' by tho officers of ono
of tho royal reglmonts. After dinner,
speeches and toasts being in order,
ono of tho British officers, having im
bibed too generously of tho champagne,
gave as a toast "Tho President of tho
United States, Dead or Alive!" Tho
toast was accepted with laughter.
Major Loinax roso to respond, say
ing, "Permit mo to give as my toast,
'Tho Prince Regent, Drunk or Sober!' "
Tho British officer sprang Instantly
to his feot nnd in angry tones de
manded, "Sir, do you intend that re
mark as an insult?"
To which Major Lomax; calmly an
swered, "No. sir; as tho reply to ono."
