“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. A Good Medicine for the Grip. George W. Waitt, South Gardiner, Me., relates his experience with the grip. “I had the worst cough, cold and 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.

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.
