THE RICHMOND PALXADIU3I AND SUX-TEI.EGRA3I, MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 1911. PAGE THREE. WAVE Of ECONOMY HITS UNCLE SAM Departmental Heads Have Trimmed Expenses with Pleasing Results. USE MODERN METHODS Of Business in Conducting Affairs of Government for First Time. BY JONATHAN WINFIELD Washington, Jan. 0. The wave of economy which aprcad over the fed eral ndnilnlntrntlon shortly after the announcement by Senator Nelson A. Aldrloh, of Khodo Island, that the Government could be maintained for nonie $.100,000,000 lean than It now costs, has It aeetni, leen productive of sood rcmilt. The departmental heads have one and all turned In and thoroughly pruned their departments. They have for the flret time In thu history ot departmental hake-ups In Washington, made a determined effort to apply modern. business rules to the conduction of their affairs. The re suit has been the saving of millions of dollar annually. Secretary Mac Wag h of the treasury department, has perhaps made tho most startling rhangeH, not alone In the machinery of his department but In the treasury building itself. The effort to emulate the present day bus iness man has been carried so far that even the outside of the old building through Us alterrtions, takes on the tune of a modern office building. Improvements Made Four new elevators have been In stalled for the accommodation of the hundreds of clerks employed In the department and the entrance Is affect ed through doors, built where the hi torlc old stone steps led up to tho east Kirtbl of the treasury. Cloak rooms have been erected, a freight en trance has been made and a private elevator und entranc "for the use ot the secretary installed, so that the old building has gradually assumed tho appearance of a real office building. Economies that the secretary has made during the past few months have aggregated about. $.'2S.000. Of this amount $ 1 50,000 was saved in in stalling automatic scales, In place of tho old hand weighing devices. Iy doing away with the issue division $168,000 a year will be saved in tho payment of salaries, and the general combination and reduction of tho work. Tho express companies, which for meily carried all monies from various K)iiHs lu the United States to Wash ington for redemption, have been esp arated from a job which has saved $70,000 yearly to Uncle Sam. My i reduction of the size of internal reve nue stamps, the Treasury department has affected a savings of approxima tely $140,000, and if Congress during tho present session, cooperates with A plan suggested by Mr. Mae Veagh, over a million dollars will be saved an nually by reducing the siase of paper currency. An Idea of the methods In vogue lie fore the Mac Veagh regime is given by the recent adjustment of depart mental finances by expert, account ants. Several months ago. four ex pert accountants were employed by the treasury for the purpose of ver ifying the special funds of the depart ment, going over the lmoka and thor oughly investigating the accounts of the department. After weeks of in vestigation their labors were about complete and they submitted their re port, only to find that the keen eye of the secretary had discovered that the redemption fund was strangely miss ing. Nowhere could tho experts find the missing fund. They searched ev ery nook nnd cranny of the big mon ey repository and spent days In lur ing over the books. It was finally found by n $100 a month lookkeeper tucked correctly away on the proper page of the redemption bookkeeping net of books. For this expert work the government paid $20 ier day to each of the four accountants. la An Exaggeration. While Mr. Mac Veagh is one of tho most prominent economists of the Taft administration he is making It plain to his friends that he views Senator Aldlrch's assertion that $300, 000,000 yearly can be saved in the running expenses of the government, as an exaggeration. According to him the installation of modern methods, machine labor Instead of hand labor Rheumatic Poison Rheuma Drives It from the System and Cures Rheumatism. Ever since Leo H. Fihe secured the privilege of handling Rheuma In Rich mond, the sales have been very large. This Is due to the fact that Rheuma really does cure Rheumatism, and that It la guaranteed to euro Rheumatism or money back. It's a quick acting remedy, too. You don't have to wait a long while for results, for Rheuma starts at onco to act on the kidneys, liver, bowels and Mood, and before 24 hours the poison ous Uric Acid, which causes Rheuma tlam, has begun to pass out of the body through the regular channels. One 60 cent bottle will prove to any Rheumatic sufferer that Rheuma sure ly will cure Rheumatism. For quickest relief from acute indi gestion try Kngllsh Marhue, 25 cents, at Leo II. Fine's.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR. com SYRUP To make this excellent cough syrup take one pound of granulated sugar, one-half pint of water and one bottle (2 ozh.) of LOGOS cough remedy (the extract for making cough syrup i this will make one pint of exceedingly good cough syrup, free from opiates, at a very small cost, good for every member of the famly. The next time you have a cough, try this, make It yourself, see if you don't say It is the best cough syrup you ev ct used. The LOGOS extracts are for sale at all First Class Drug Stores. and kindred business reforms will serve to scale down the govern men t expenditures many millions of dollars yearly but that the figure will ever deems utterly Impossible. "The total ordinary expenditures of the government last year," said a prominent treasury official, "were less than $000,000,000, a greater part of which is not reducable, as, for ex ample Interest on tlie public debt and $:500.000,000 is left on which to run the government and on which to save $300,000,000 as proposed by Senator Aldilch. "Now If the public has In mind a saving or $300,000,000 a year during the present administration. It will find fault with the amount which will eventually be cut from the expenses. Such a misconception is harmful and steps should be taken to set the mat ter of departmental economy before the people in Its true light." Mcsldes the reforms already accom plished Secretary Mac Veagh advo cates tlic elimination of a large num ber of customs ports that are of no use, and some of the assay offices and mints that perform no service. In Secretary Mac Veagh's opinion mcst cf the assay offices arc super fluous and the mints in Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco aro not fully employed. While, a great saving has been ef fected by past reforms and will be af fected In the future, the considera tion of economy does not especially mean that t'lere will be a reduction In appropriation for there are many in stances where the best Interests of the government require increases, but wherever efficiency and economy go hand In hand the Secretary will ap ply the pruning knife.

"We Cant Mo As Mad as All That," the new offer ing at tho Hazimova theater, can cer tainly be called one of the cleverest works produced by Henry Arthur Jones. This, according to Mr. Jones' own calculation is his seventieth play fncluding, of course, one act sketches, etc. It has much of the strength of tho celebrated "Mrs. Dane's Defense," and shows that Mr. Jones' skill Is in no way diminished and his wit by no means impaired. He haa taken for his subject a certain phase of English society, the picture of which he believes will lead many to exclaim with George Meredith, "We can't be as bad as all that." Lulu Glaser continues her eminently successful engagement In "The Girl and the Kaiser" at the Herald Square theater under the management of the Messrs. Shubert. The operetta Is an American version of one of the most sensational German musical successes of the century. Miss Glaser has a splendid supporting company and the play will no doubt have a long run in New York. The tenth week of the indefinite en gagement of "The Gamblers" at Max Ine Elliott's theater has begun. The Authors' Producing company is enti tled to the credit of supplying one of the season's strongest plays. This or ganization is also responsible for the new work by Henry Arthur Jones at the Hazimova theater. Mr. Sam Bernard has entered upon his last week at the Casino theater in "He Came From Milwaukee," a play that has kept New York laughing since last September. It is one of the best vehicles Bernard ever had and leaves the Casino because it is impossible to extend the engagement longer. Jules Ecketr Goodman's home play "Mother." which is continuing its suc cessful run at the Circle theater, seems to have a monopoly on heart interest. No other play now running in New York appeals in the same way to the heart sympathies of its audiences. It is, good to see Dustin Farnum again, though the Sothern-Marlowe engagement at the Broadway theater was all too short. Mr. Farnum's new vehicle is "The Silent Call," and the response by New York audiences has been "you are a success." It is likely that Mr. Farnura will be the attraction at the Broadway for several weeks to come. The New theater, following its pol icy of occasionally presenting plays in which stars may appear as "guest art ists" with the regular company, has through its directors Invited Miss Marie Tempest, the English artist to play the role of Becky Sharp in a re vival of "Vanity Fair." Miss Tempest haa accepted the invitation and the play will be presented tomorrow even ing. The other parts in the long ami important cast of this play will be as- sumed by the regular members of the New theater company. Miss Millie Burke occupies the stage of the Lyceum theater in "Suzanne" a play that been written by C. Haddon Chambers from its French original. It tells the tale of a father who deals In bottled beer, an ambitious mother and their manipulations to have their daughter Suzanne make a "desirable" marriage. Mrs. Leslie Carter begins the last week of her six weeks engagement at the Lyric theater in "Two Women" next Monday night. Mrs. Carter has never had a play that gave her better opportunities for showing her emo tional powers, and there is no reason why she should not meet with the same success on her coming tour of the road that she has enjoyed in New York. Annie Itussell, still as charmingly appealing as cvrr, is appearing in the comedy "The Imposter," at Garrick's theater. There are thousands of Mary Fentons in America as well as in Europe, who have found themselves suddenly without relatives, friends, food or shelter and with no better prospect before them than the streets. What Is to become of all such is the story of "The Imposter." Miss Klsie Janis would be a suc cess for her beauty and sprightliness even without a dainty play to help along. In the "Slim Princess" her latest production, however, she has a play that is better suited to her tal ents than anything in which she has appeared in some years. She suc ceeds Mmc. Bernhardt at the Globe theater. "Pomander Walk." the dainty Eng lish comedy with its stage setting of six little houses and its splendid com- pany of London players has settled down for a successful season at Wal lack's theater. At the Hippodrome, the new circus and the three spectacles. "The Earth quake," "The Ballet of Niagara," and "The International Cup" are still drawing record crowds. Zelda Sear3 is appearing at the Bi jou theater in "The Nest Egg," a comedy in which she takes the part of an ecentric spinster whose search for a husband forms the basis of the plot. "The Aviator," James Montgomery's comedy of aeroplane flight, with Wal lace Eddinger in thetitle role, is amus ing Astor theater audiences. The noisy motor is working so well on the stage that will be a long time before it "goes cold." A bill of twenty-two acts comprise the bill at the American music hall this week. Consul, the famous edu cated chimpanzee, has returned to amuse anew with hl3 antics and shares favor with other big acts that can command places as headlincrs. For Sale Cheap.

Mr. Smith is a clever down and his drool sayings and ludicrous antics add spice and interest to an otherwise good bill.

Keen witted and sharp tongued celtie wyman, mar ried, bossed by her husband, husband dies and she marries a i.ian wiiom she can boss. Her description of thi3 r.ewly found mate is humorous, in that she has "picked the cream of the waiting list." Her scenes with him are too funny for words and when he attempts to make love to her married daughter there is near a riot. Other good acts are "Rutan's Song Birds," pretty girls in a singing and piano act. Richard Hanlin, the Medley Man in Brown. Motion pictures open and close this splendid bill. Ita, the Mentalist. The management of the Gennett has secured for three nights commenc ing Thursday, Jan. 12, the 16 year old girl mentalist and her own company of 14 people, and in bringing this clever attraction here, present to their pa trons one of the best and most talked of attractions now touring the middle west. Although still in her teens, Ita has mystified thousands by her clever 'presentation of mental telepathy, or as it is better known, mind reading, and an art of which she is a master, and the subject of wonder to all who see it. Ita's support consists of seven big acts chosen from what is known as the larger vaudeville circuits, with the intent of pleasing all young and old, even the most exacting theater WHAT CLEAN BLOOD MEANS They used to aecu?? Dr. A. B. Simp son, one of the famous physicians of Indiana, of having a cure-all because his great reputation was established largely on one prescription, the most effective alterative or blood-purifier known. "No," he would remark, "it will not cure consumption, nor typhoid, nor any one of a hundred common dis eases. It simply purifies the blood, but it does that very thoroughly." What are the symptoms of poisoned, impure blood? They range all the way from the dreadful syphilis to a muddy complexion. They include inflamma tory rheumatism, catarrh, scrofula, ec zema, erysipelas, pimples, boils, run ning sores, erysipelas. plruples. boils, and a number of simi lar afflictions. All these yielded readily to Dr. Simpson's treatment. And during the forty years this prep aration has been on the market as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound it has never failed in a single case. The very worst cases of syphillis have been cured as well as all the other blood diseases named above and the same compound has always given clear, clean complexions to those, oth erwise in good health. It is sold at $1.00 a bottle at all drug stores. Don't Experiment You WiM Make No Mistake if You Follow Thi-5 Richmond Citizen's Advice Never neglect your kidneys. If you have pain in the back, uri nary disorders, d!zzine3s and nervous ness, its time to act and no time to experiment. They are all symptoms of kidney trouble, and you whould seek a remedy which is known to act on the kidneys. . Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy to use. No need to experiment. It has cured many stubborn cases in Richmond. Follow the example of a Richmond citizen and be cured your self. David Hershey, 316 S. Thirteenth street. R'hemond. Ind., says: "I was troubled for some time by kidney com plaint and the remedies I tried did not help me. Often I was hardly able to straighten on account of sharp, cutting paina across the small of my back and the least exertion or any cold I contracted caused the kidney secretions to pass too frequently. Doan's Kidney Pills, obtained at A. G. Luken & Co.'s Drug Store, cured me and at that time, I publicly recom mended them. I now gladly confirm all I then said, as I still firmly be believe that Doan's Kidney Pills are a splendid remedy for kidney disor ders. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents Foster-Milburn Co..

Old lady-Sorry, but I have no teeth. A man went into a studio and ask ed the artist if he could paint a pic ture of his father. "Yes," said the artist. "When can your father sit for me?" "Why, father's dead!" "Well, can't you give me a photo graph of him?" The man who wanted the picture said he had no photograph, so he de scribed his father as well as he could to the artist. When the picture was done he came to look at it. "Yes, yes," he said excitedly, "that's father all right." Then he started to cry and the artist asked him what he was crying about. "Nothing," he said between his sobs, "but father has changed so." "Yes, you can say what you please about our American girls, but when it comes to a showdown, they have it on any other girls on earth for good looks. Why dukes and earls from all over the world, when they see our American girls race aver them, and fall in love with them and marry them for their pretty faces." "For their pretty faces, eh? Well, I should say not." "Well, then, what for?" "Their green backs." The girl of the present day has really a remarkably good time, as in deed have the youth of both sexes. There is a positive cult for the young person at the present time. London Hearth and Home. Piles! Piles! Piles! Williams' Indian Pile Ointment will cure Blind, Bleedins and Itching Piles.

AUTOMOBILE NOTES Fifty attendants at the Madison Square Auto Show which opens in New York on Saturday next will be attired in the complete costume of the Swiss Guard of the Vatican. Two odd looking cars may be seen at Grand Central Palace, New York, this week, both of them three wheel ers. One of these is made in Germany and is called the Cyklonette. The car is driven from the front wheel above w hich the motor is placed. The other is an American machine called the Motorette which has a maximum speed of twenty-five miles an hour and is said to be an excellent hill climber. The two Abernathy boys, Louis and Temple, w ho came to town to see Cel. Roosevelt last June when he arrived in New York. liding horseback, have returned to Gotham and will be a feat ure of the Brush machine exhibit at the Licensed Automobile Manufactur ers' Show which opens at Madison Square Garden. January 14. The fam ous kids will probably remain in the East for some time, as it is said they have developed a healthy liking for metropolitan life. One sees a very different type of salesmen at the automobile shows this year. Once upon a time the auto mobile salesman did not know even the full details of the car he was try ing to sell, let alone points about oth er cars. The increased education of the motor buying public has changed this materially. A man who knows enough to call attention to some spec ial feature in another car that he no ticed and wants to know how it com pares with the like thing in the ma chine before iflm, puts it up to the seller to know something of other au tomobiles than his own. So it has come about that the salesman's educa tion has grown in proportion to that of the car buying public. He can't get away with generalities.
