GOOD RESULTS ARE OBTAINED Liberal Appropriation Waa Made for Thia Work by the Illinois Legisla­ ture--Experiment Proving a Success. Springfield.--C. E. Comstock of Chi­ cago, superintendent of instruction of adult blind, was a visitor at* the of­ fice of the state board of administra­ tion. Mr. Comstock, himself deprived of sight, is employed by the board of administration, and is at the head of a corps of instructors who, under the act of the Forty-seventh general as­ sembly, visit the homes of blind persons, giving them Instruction in useful work that will tend to make them independent of state aid and not dependent on state teaching in institu­ tion*. The legislature made a liberal appro­ priation for this work, and reports show that it is meeting with pro­ nounced success. Under its provisions, persons who desire to remain in their homes rather than become a charge upon the state by reason of their dis­ ability, are taught various forms of handiwork, such as basket weaving, broom-making, carpentry, and are also being taught to operate type­ writers. The work under the present law has been such a success that when the next legislature meets requests will be made for an additional aprpoprlation of which it may be extended. Under its provisions many persons are able to earn a livelihood and are also able to enjoy the privilege and comforts of home surroundings. Dunning Employes Under Civil Service There will be a general shake-up among the employes of the Dunning institution for the insane in Cook county after the institution has pass­ ed into the control of the state board of administration. Attorney General 8tead rendered an opinion to the state board of administration, stating that ^rhen the institution passes into the control of the board all the employes will come under the civil service act, and that vacancies will exist In all positions, which must be filled accord­ ing to the provisions of the civil serv­ ice law, which means that all the em­ ployes must take the civil service ex­ amination, according to the Interpreta­ tion made by* the board of administra­ tion, and that they will take their chances of being employed according to how they grade in the examination. The attorney general also holds that the state board of administration may with the consent of the state civil service commission, reappoint the present employes temporarily for a period of thirty days and extend the term to sixty days with the consent of the civil service commission. Charter New Line Through State. . Secretary of State Doyle issued a license to incorporate to the Chi­ cago, Springfield & Cairo Railroad company to construct a line from Chi­ cago through the counties of Cook, Will, Kendall, Grundy, Livingston, Woodford, McLean, Tazewell, Logan, Sangamon, Christian, Montgomery, Bond, Clinton, Washington, Perry, Jackson, Union, Pulaski and Alexan­ der. The capital stqck is nominally $10,000, and the principal offices are In Chicago. The Incorporators and first board of directors are Delos P. Phelps, M. C. Meyers, Jasper T. Darling, Charles G. Fox and W. C. Gregory, all of Chicago. Mr. Phelps is a Chicago lawyer, Mr. Darling is a manager, ac­ cording to the Chicago directors, and Charles G. Fox is cashier of the La Balle street national bank. Woman's Ten-Hour Law Upheld. The Illinois woman's ten-hour was upheld in a decision handed down by the supreme court. The decision of the circuit court of Coles county is affirmed (Judge Vickers dissenting) in the case brought in that county against Edward Eldering, proprietor of the Charleston hotel at Charleston In which he was charged with having employed females for more than ten hours each day. In lta opinion the court makes a differentiation between hotel labor and some other classes of labor, con­ tending that the hotel Is a quasi-pub­ lic institution and that the hotel pro­ prietor is serving the public. . The opinion contends the act is general in application to all hotels or none. It concludes with the declaration that "we are of the opinion that limitation of the hours of employment of fe­ males In hours not to exceed ten hours a day was not an unauthorized exercise of the police power of the state."

This was determined when the supreme court In an opinion held that the automobile law which requires that chauffeurs be licensed Is valid. The opinion was issued in the case of the People vs. Sargent. The constitutional objection to the law urged that It embraces more subjects than are enumerated in the title. The court holds the objection not well tak­ en. Another objection entered against the law is that it is "special legisla­ tion" In that it provides that fees shall *be paid into the state treasury for a "road fund." Civil Service Board Report. About 80 per cent, of the employes of the state are under civil service and the civil service commission has examined 2,896 applicants for posi­ tions up to Januacy 1, according to a report presented by the civil service commission to Governor Deneen. The report also praises Governor Deneen for his efforts in securing the passage of the civil service act and his co-op* eration in its enforcement. 'The amendments to the act made by the legislature of 1911 placed un­ der the jurisdiction of the commission about 2,700 additional employes," the report to the governor says, "bringing the total up to about 80 per cent, of the entire state service. The amount and importance of the work of the commission thereby has been greatly Increased. "Without your active and Intelligent support this important step In placing the service of the state on a business­ like basis could never have been ac­ complished. The enactment of the civil service legislation during your ad­ ministration will mark that period as one of the most important in the his­ tory of the state for the advancement of good government." The added responsibilities of the civil sen-ice department are explained in the report. One hundred and two separate payrolls pass through the of­ fice of the commission, most of them monthly. For the month of December, 1911, the payrolls contained 4,477 civil service employes and 144 exempt em­ ployes, with salaries totaling $246,- 810.81. The commission had examined 2,896 applicants for various positions, up to January 1. Of these 654 failed to pass. The total number of appointments made from the eligible list by the commission to January 1 was 1,476. 0FCEP1L1IE Writer Tells Editors to Work for Parcels Post--Killing the Pussy Cat.

Brummitt, newly elected editor of the Epworth Herald; at the Christian, ex-State President James L. Loar, Bloomington. Ask Mors School Funds. "Illinois Is far behind her stster states in her educational system." This statement was made by Fran­ cis O. Blair, state superintendent of public instruction at the weekly meeting of the ways and means com­ mittee of the Chicago Association of Commerce at the Hotel La Salle in Chicago. "There are many leaks in the great wall that confines the school system," said Mr. Blair. "It requires legislative and administrative fingers to stop these leaks." Hundreds Witness Event. Fifteen hundred gunners and others iaterested in the popular sport gath­ ered at the grounds of the Illinois Gun club in Springfield to witness the ex­ hibition given by Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Topperweln of San Antonio, Tex. Not a disappointed spectator left the grounds, as the exhibition was one of the most marvelous ever given by two gunners in central Illinois. Almost im­ possible feats with rifles, pistols and shotguns were accomplished with great ease by the Topperwelns. A writer of national importance baa actually had the self poise to advise the country newspaper man to work for the undesirable parcels post bfll. If your newspaper were a cat and had nine lives and the adviser had banded you an old-fashioned hlunder- buss with the admonition, "Go out and shoot the cat--the gun scatters!" he could not more effectively have ad­ vised you to injure yourself. But it isn't necessary to grow caus­ tic on this score--for the country newspaper man, of all business men, knows what grand things the parcels post and the mail order bouse, In dou­ ble harness, will do for him. And as he rides around in that new $3,000 automobile made from easy business given him by the catalog houses, he already feels his waistband tighten­ ing and his chest swelling like a pouter pigeon's--NOT! If the parcels post bill and the mall order houses ever walk down the business aisle together while the or­ gan peals the wedding march from Lohengrin, the country editor can go away back in the cool, umbrageous wood and sit down with his sorrow. He can go over again in his fancy the days when he landed with a shirt-tail full of type and a head full of en­ thusiasm. He can recall the days of struggle when he lived on dried ap­ ples and water, when he worked all day and half the night trying to make the pay end of his financial belt meet the buckle end of his hunger. He can live once more the days of promise and denial, of struggle and endeavor, during which the weakling newspaper child grew lusty and healthy. He can conjure the story of his small begin­ ning and his humble success--hard- earned success, deserving success. And then he can begin to think down hill again, dating the lofty heights from the day the mail order houses began ruining the home mer­ chants, the mall order houses that ad­ vertise by catalog and fill the orders with dispatch and substitution, un- qfght and unseen. He can look In on the wedding ceremony of the parcels post and the mall order houses, and as he gazes on into futurity, he can move his blistered feet out of the drip of his scalding tears--for his heart will be of stone if he doesn't weep In remorse at being a plnhead for letting the peo­ ple of his community go to bed un­ mindful of their danger the night of the wedding! What makes the country editor prosperous? Is it tho money that goes to Seesaw & Fiddlebeck in Chi­ cago for prunes and felt boots and dyed rooster feathers for millinery de­ bauches, or is it the money that Is paid over the counter right at home, the money that permits the merchant to live and advertise in the newspaper man's publication. In the home news­ paper that Is and always will be. If not choked to death, the greatest fac­ tor in the upbuilding of a community? Why, I lived in a suburb once where there wasn't a newspaper. We couldn't notify each other of a whist party or a town meeting without spending a lot of money for stamps and station* ery. The people always were In a wrangle over something they might have agreed upon had there been a newspaper to explain. The civic life of the place was as lqnocuous as a dead rat and the business of the town wouldn't have kept a real live Chicago dude in cigarettes. The town didn't amount to a whoop--and that's the truth And the reason was--no news­ paper! I moved away. Life Is too short to live in communities that , haven't sense enough to have news­ papers. But when the parcels post and the mall order houses walk hand in hand, making deliveries easy and as satis­ factory as the mail order houses are honest, the,local merchant will begin to feel that business pinch he knows so well since the disease of mallor- deritis got abroad in the land. He has felt it coming on for months. He has had night sweats and night wor­ ries. He has stood around behind his counters until he has gotten the wood­ en leg and feels that pip is none too good for him! And now the big thing in diseases strikes him. It hits him in the vital concentric of his cash register, which is always located In the region of the heart and a very dangerous spot to trifle with, and lands him In the arms of the sheriff In no time at all. Among the liabilities is a big bill owed the newspaper man, less a few items of merchandise purchased by the editor's wife for the kids. But the editor isn't shocked. He is a wise and tried man. He has met disappointment so many times that its javelin doesn't percolate. He is Just like the man who takes one kind of physic too long--he loses the ef­ fect. And so the editor braces him­ self and goes merrily back to his hum­ ming job-press to feed handbills Into Its cavernous craw and think of home and family ties and how Jamie needs shoes and Mary must be sent away to school and wife isn't any too strong and should have a girl, and--but may­ be you're married yourself, and if you are, you will understand. If you are a bachelor, it isnt my fault and you haven't any right to understand any­ thing. 'One by one the shadows fall across the path of the editor. The merchants hang on and then hang on some more. They do their best, but their best isn't much when In the jaws of the mall-order-parcelB-post monster, they get "chawnked" In time. As the vacant store rooms appear on the main street, as the mechanics begin to wander aimlessly about and' kick because nobody is building houses, as the tax collector wonders why he doesn't collect, as the pebool teacher notes that the attendance Is falling off because families are mov­ ing out of town and the stork is afraid to drop Into the place with an on* coming crop, as everybody begins to take on a funereal aspect and the gay traveling man forgets to get off the 2:40 accommodation train, the editor is figuring--and he is figuring hard. And he can keep right on figuring hard. He is done for--he is IT. The editor can Btick until nothing remains but a suburban ticket and a shooting stick slightly battered at the business end, or he can go into the city and get famous! I did the lat­ ter--and I want to say to you that the man with one arm and the hives didn't go any faster than I did to keep out of the discard. Getting famous in the city is all right and a newspaper man who has gone down with the mall order houses at his heels ought to make good if anybody does, because he can live so long on strap ends and gasoline fumes--but, it's a long ahot and the bull's eye Isn't worth a clean little newspaper In the country with a home and a family being reared in the atmosphere of a good, thriving town. I'm not going to preach a ser­ mon on it, but you can take it from me that I'm in the immediate neigh­ borhood of truth when I tell you this--• and I know. I've had the newspaper and the country and I've had soma tltlllations of fame and the city. But if the people of this country are going to be goats enough to let the parcels post bill pass, I'm making an Allegretti bet with myself that the editors--the rural editors--are going to get most awfully butted! They tell you how it will help busi­ ness and cite what a wonderful thing the parcels post has been for foreign countries. We know that! All we have to do to prove it Is to go down to Castle Square garden In New York city and see the poor devils come in from the home of the parcels post! See them staggering In with their earthly possessions on theiHbacks and the downtrodden essence of cloddish- ness in their eyes. Look at their blank faces and their bent bodies, see that woman staggering under her coarse luggage and clung to by a half- dozen children! Just look at them! And then go back home and boost for the parcels post bill--the bill that makes life in their countries so beau­ tiful and so easy and so charming, they run away from it and come to America while there is still a drop ot hope in their hearts! And the villages of the old coun­ tries. Possibly you've never been there and you don't know that the vil­ lages are a Joke, for the most part. Farmers do not live on their farms, as do the American tillers of the soil. They reside in neighborhood communi­ ties and this community will have a half-way house with a bar in it and a government tobacconist who also sells stamps. The supplies are purchased, say from Paris, by parcels post! And that community will be the same a hundred years from now, except that there may be smaller farms and more farmers. There is nothing In that community to make a boy ambitious or to give him his inspiration. He will be raised like the clod be Is and the national life will never know of him unless he commits some crime of great interest. How would you like to run a news­ paper in a community like that? And yet this very movement is tending to give the United States the same conditions, In time. Naturally, the American people will be slower in becoming clods, but Just as surely as the sun shines, posterity will become bo if the villages of this land are al­ lowed to retrograde, for the good folks mostly come from the country-- the able, healthy, hearty, do-Bomethlng people. I wouldn't trade a live, ambi­ tious, healthy country boy who has an inspiration to get there for a half- dozen city bred fellows who know so much they never concentrate on any­ thing or get anywhere. Who is run­ ning the big business in the New York city today? Country boys! 1 can take you out on a pretty fair road near my home--and I can take you in my own automobile If the durned thing doesn't get a coughing fit--and show you two farm houses, al­ most directly across the street from each other. Here two country boys were raised. They were about the same age, they went to school to­ gether, they enjoyed the privileges of the average country boy of America. Who are they today? They went to the city and when ths stuff that was in them came out the world knew them as John Gates and Elbert Gary. That's all. Just two country boys who made good on the milk and inspiration and the advan­ tages of the country. -Suppose they had been raised in one of those par­ cels post countries? Well, maybe. Just about now, we might go down to Castle Square gar­ den and see them come In with a blank void on their faces and a car­ petbag on their backs! Mr. Newspaper man, don't you let them fool you. Strike out from the shoulder and do a nice, clean job of polishing off. It will help some! BYRON WILLIAMS. Industry Coming Into Its Own.

At St. Andrews some years ago an old farmer and his plowman were carting sand from the seashore. They were behind the target on the rifle- range, but hidden by a bank of sand from a party of volunteers, who were then on foot, at practice. A stray bul­ let struck the plowman on the leg, and he immediately dropped, exclaim­ ing: "I'm shot!" Without more ado the farmer scrambled up the bank and, waving his hands to the volunteers, shouted: "Hey, lads, stop that, will ye? You've shot a man, and It micht ha* been the horse!"--London Tit-Bits. DURING THE DISCUSSION. Crowning Inault to His Beloved Books Was More Than the Professor Could Stand. Perhaps the bitterest moment in the life of a lover of books is when he finds that his treasures are valued by no one but himself. The late Prof. Churton Collins onoe tried to weed out hie books, after he had become convinced that either the surplus or their owner would have to move out of the library. The weeding was a painful process, but at last the second-hand book-deal­ er was invited to name his price for the uprooted "weeds." "They're no good to me," was the disconcerting re­ ply. "What, none of them." "No, not one." Some one suggested that as the books had to go, the dealer had bet* ter have them for nothing. It waa a bitter moment for Mr. Collins, but Anally he assented. The man then re­ marked: "That'll be half a dollar." "What do you mean? What for?" exclaimed the victim in a restrained tone of voice. "To take them away," said the man. That was too much for Mr. Collins. The dealer was driven forth with ob­ jurgations. after which, with a sigh of relief, the owner replaced the books upon his shelves.--Youth's Companion. lout iLsver Is Clogged Up That's Why You're Ti --Have No Appetite CARTER'S LITTLE, LIVER.

A physician says: "Until last fall I used to eat meat for my breakfast and suffered with indigestion until the meat had passed from the stomach. "Last fall I began the use of Grape- Nuts for breakfast and very soon found I could do without meat, for my body got all the nourishment neces­ sary from the Grape-Nuts and since then I have not had any Indigestion and am feeling better and have in­ creased in weight. "Since finding the benefit I derived from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed the food for all my patients suffering from indigestion or over-feeding and also for those recovering from disease where I want a food easy to take and certain to digest and which will not overtax the stomach. "I always find the results I look for when I prescribe Grape Nuts. For ; ethical reasons please omit my name." Name given by mail by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich. The reason for the wonderful ; amount of nutriment, and the easy j digestion of Grape-Nuts Is not hard to . find. In the first place, th« starchy part of the wheat and barley goes through , various processes of cooking, to per- ( fectly change the starch into dextrose ; or grape-sugar, in which state It Is 1 ready to be easily absorbed by the 1 blood. I The parts In the wheat and barley j which Nature can make use of for re­ building brain and nerve centers are retained hi this remarkable food, and thus the human body is supplied with the powerful strength producers, so easily noticed after one has eaten Grape-Nuta each day for a week or ten days.
