“THE MAN FOR THE AGES.”
By W. H. Faust
The above is the title of Iving Bach
cller's latest and one of his best, books.
Every person should read at least
a half dozen of the latest books of fic- 1
tion a year. It will give him a line
on the present day thought, and a per
usal of the best sellers shows what the
people like and believe in.
■ This novel is wonderfully well writ
ten. The story of the great middle j
west, its wealth of soil and resources,
its original and manly men, its true
and beautiful women catch and grip
* the attention.
The story centers about Abe Lin
coln, his love affairs with beautiful
Anne Rutledge, and finally his mar
riage to Mary Todd. Other equally in
teresting love stories are woven thru
* the wisdom and philosophy of its pages.
The reader readily falls in love with
“Bim” one of the finest characters of
fiction, and is vitally interested in
cultured and gallant Harry Meek,
whose love story closes so appropriate
ly and timely.
To pass a couple of hours away so
pleasantly, to get a closer and re
freshingly new view of America's great
est Democrat—Lincoln—to thrill afresh
with the glorious faith in the masses
of common people, one has only to
read carefully this really influential
and worth-w r hile novel.

grip and had taken a lot of trash of
<o account. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the only thing that has done
me any good whatever. I have used
/)fie bottle of it and the cold and grip
have left me.”

WEEDING OFT DEADWOOD
IN THE DEPARTMENTS
Not so many years ago. when it was
a case of "to the victor belongs the
spoils,” Senators and Representatives
were lavish in their efforts to place as
many people as came their way in
soft jobs in the government depart
ments, not caring much whether the
appointees earned their salt or not. just
so they were on the rolls to draw some
i comparatively easy money from Uncle
1 Sam. But the tables are turned now
and government employees are quaking
in their boots. Congress has developed
a streak of economy that is bound to
weed out and drop all the deadwood in
government employees who cannot
show that they are an essential part
of Uncle Sum's big working machine.
Senator Smoot of Utah started the
ball rolling when he played the part
of detective, going through the War
.Risks Bureau with its ten thousand
employees and observing that hundreds
! of them had only enough work to keep
them busy a portion of each day. He
| kicked up a hornet’s nest by recom
mending that the work of the bureau
'be divided among other government
I departments, which would result in
! saving the government several million
dollars yearly in salaries.
