Fisher of Chicago, the new secretary of the interior, can be glean ed from the fact that approximately $200,000,000 is expended annually in the department of which he has Just been made the chief; 700,000,000 acres of public land is under his immediate jurisdiction, not including the terri tory of Alaska, and nearly 15,000 em ployees take their orders from him. The importance of the department to the country at large cannot be overestimated, especially at this time vhen the country is Insisting upon an administration favoring use of the na tional resources of the country on the public domain and in Alaska, which will not only permit Immediate devel opment, but conserve these resources for future generations. Establishment of the interior depart ment was the direct result of the ac cession of territory following the Mex ican war and general increase in pop ulation, wealth and business. It was made a sort of catchall for govern ment business which could not be con veniently transacted by any other de partment. At the present time the secretary of the Interior has supervision over the following offices and institutions: General land office, in charge of Commissioner Fred Dennett, which su pervises the survey, management and disposition of the public lands, the ad judication of conflicting claims re lating thereto, the granting of railroad Sun Blamed for , . gsr iBLAME FOR . o V -SlTHJhG THAT C0S AS A result of the action of congress at the last session in making a special appropriation of $5,000 for the purpose, Dr. C. G. Abbot, director of the astro-physical observatory of the Smithsonian institution, will be able to complete within the next year an investigation which was begun in 1905 and which, if it arrives at the ex pected conclusion, will result in a discovery of the first rank, such as is not often made in astronomical work. Thi3 Investigation is expected to prove that the radiation of the sun va ries and that this variation produces a corresponding variation in the tem perature of the earth. While this dis covery, if made, will have its highest value for pure science, it will also be of great benefit in its application to agriculture, to long-distance weather forecasts and other practical pur poses. To complete the tests which have Uncorseted S3JlTur oifuT i nr. iiun i PLACE FOR THOSE THINGS EALERS in corsets are not pleased with the latest fad of the Wash ington smart set. On excellent authority it is said that to be strictly swagger nowadays a woman must discard the engirdling stays a thing not impossible with the present style of empire girdled frock. The younger set promoted the "back to nature" idea. There have been many smart dances this winter, and one after another the youthful damozels have cast aside the artificial form. The lirst girl to appear at a dance uncorseted created a mild sensation. But so materially did her innovation affect her career as a belle that the subsequent dances were remarkable MacVeagh Will HILE the customs service is be- insr rehabilitated there is a dis position at the treasury department to clip off red tape wherever possible. The abuse has grown up through many years, and Secretary MacVeagh want3 to eliminate it and practical politics whenever he can. A collect or at a small port in New Jersey, who lias a record of collecting 50 cents a year and drawing $40 in salary and expenses recently was called to ac :ount for net sending certain docu mm . OF SOME OF)P-WW Faces Big Task and other rights of way, easements, the issuance of patents for lands, and with furnishing certified copies of land patents and of records, plats and papers on file In that office. In the national forests, he executes all laws relating to surveying, prospecting, lo cating, appropriating, entering, re conveying or patenting of public lands, and the granting of rights of way amounting to easements. The employees of the department are divided among the various branches of the service as follows: Office of secretary, 307; office of the assistant attorney general, 23; general land office, 1,437; office of Indian affairs,- 5,705; patent office. 934; pension office, 1,579; bureau of education, 178; geological tsurvey, 1,063; reclamation service, 1,745; bu reau of mines, 198; hospitals, 909; parks' and reservations, S6; teritorial and District of Columbia, 26; office of superintendent of the capitol, 22; to tal, 14,262. Of course, the big thing in the pub lice eye in the department of the in terior at the present time is the con servation question, involving as it does a definite policy for the adminis tration of the public domain with especial reference to Alaska, as well as the contiguous territory embracing the states. Arising under the pres ent laws, however, is the Cunningham coal claims in Alaska and the water power sites' controversy, both of which were involved in the Ballinger Pinchot embroglio, and both of which will have to be dealt with by Secre tary Fisher. Even while considering these important items, however, Mr. Fisher must, ever have an eye on the general administration of tho whole department, which is one of the most comprehensive in the entire govern ment. Variable Climate been and still are being made at the observatory here in Washington (sea level), at Mount Whitney (three miles elevation) and at Mount Wil son (one mile elevation), Dr. Abbot finds it necessary to establish a sta tion in the cloudless region of south ern Mexico. Observations then will be taken at the new station, and at Mount Wilson simultaneously, and if the two sets of measurements should agree the conclusion will be proved. Congress has provided for this trip to Mexico by adding $5,000 to the ap propriation regularly made for the work of the astro-physical observa tory, to the intense gratification of Dr. Abbot and Secretary Walcott of the Smithsonian institution, as they are hopeful of success attending the un dertaking. While the expedition will not set out for Mexico until next July, when, it is hoped, peaceful conditions will be restored in the southern re public, the work of preparation al ready is under way. The appreciation of the work that Dr. Abbot is doing is shown in the fact that during the past year the Draper gold medal was awarded by the National Academy of Sciences to Dr. Abbot for his valuable research in solar radiation. Belle of Capital for tho number of girls who had sud denly taken up the dress reform sho started. The older folks didn't like It bo well, and the criticism stirred up even drowned the commotion caused by Justice Harlan's overhauling of the swagger set for its disregard of proper Sabbath observances. But it was different elsewhere, and not to be outdone by the younger cir cle a number of the smart matrons introduced some novelties into their costumes. Mrs. Huntington Wilson attracted much attention by adopting the heel less slipper. Mrs. Wilson, who is one of the most picturesque women In Washington society, "dresses to her own style." Her gowns, which follow the lines of her supple figure, are un lined and weighted by a fall of crys tal embroideries. Her hair she dresses with Grecian simplicity the wuole ensemble agree ing perfectly with the satin shod feet, guiltless of the erstwhile popular Cu ban heel. Abolish Red Tape ments in connection with the payment of his salary. He made this protest, which has been preserved among the archives of the treasury: "I was criticised because I had fail ed to make an affidavit that I had paid myself my salary. In spite of the fact that I had sworn to my monthly ac counts that I had paid myself my sal ary, I had not sworn that I had re ceived the salary which I bad sworn I had paid myself. This last affidavit cost me 25 cents. "I then had to put in a voucher for the 25 cents and make an affidavit that I had paid myself the 25 cents. This, according to a new ruling, was accompanied, by an affidavit that I had received the 25 cents. I had sworn I had paid myself. This has started an endless chain, which threatens to land me in an Insane asylum." 1 ! IS IM FRESH AIR WITHOUT DRAFTS Poultrymen Beginning to Appreciate Advantages of Open Front Typo of Buildings for Fowls. Poultrymen are beginning to learn that if biddy has a house all her ow, whose side walls are made of feath ers, the best non-conductor that she can get, and that If she is allowed to have plenty of oxygen to burn up with the carbohydrates of her focd she will very easily keep herself warm In almost any reasonable tem perature. The only practical way to give her this very necessary fuel is by giving her plenty of fresh air, but drafts always mean roup, and every poultryman knows what that means, writes Ellis Santee of Essex County, N. Y., In Farm and Home. I think all are coming more and' more to appreciate the open front for fair weather, with muslin to cover the opening during bad weather. This means that the rest of the house will have to be as tight as possible in or der that there may be no dangerous drafts. Experience has also 6hown that it is well to make the front tight for about two feet above the floor. Everyone has his own particular ideas about shape and size. I like best a square house, with the roof as low as convenience In doing the work will permit Our most satisfactory house, as shown In cut, is built on the con tinuous house plan, 20x20 feet, with the eaves 6 feet from the ground in front and no eaves at the back, the roof coming down even with the back of tho house, which ia 4 feet high. The roofing material extends to the D 34 Santee's Mode) House. bottom of the sill. This gives us a double pitched roof, with the maxi mum of head room and a minimum of air space. We are satisfied that concrete is the Ideal material for a poultry house floor if it is properly constructed. It must not be laid in close contact with the ground unless it is insulated by putting in a thickness of roofing material to keep down the dampness. Tar felt is the most economical and Is effective. A foot of small stone is best. It is important that the partitions be made solid at least as far front as the door, and at least two feet high the balance of the way to prevent irafts. If possible to have the yards in the rear it is well to have the windows made in one sash, extending from tho roof to near the floor, hinged at the side next the partition, to be used as, a clean-out door for taking litter in, and droppings out. It is important1 that there be some glass In eachj room, even though muslin be used. This window should always be In the.' southeast corner of the room, so that ! you get the greatest amount of sun light early in the morning. The walls of the house should be' not over one inch thick and covered: with some kind of roofing material to make them tight. Matched lumber1 will shrink and make a chance for1 drafts that must be avoided. Roofing, boards, planed on one side, put on with the planed side inside and cov ered over on the outside back and ends with the roofing material are economical and satisfactory. We like tar felt some object to Its color. Whatever is used, the three walls, roof and floor should be tight. The old idea of making the walls double thick with sawdust or building paper between made a fine condensing chamber and a damp place that is unprofitable for poultry. Dry cold is far preferable to damp warmth. The tendency all along the line seems to be toward larger flocks on account of the labor problem. One man will take care of as many hens in a large flock as two will in small flocks. Thus far we have not gotten beyond pens holding 125. The ques tion of free range will largely influ ence the size of the pens. We prefer to fence the garden rather than to confine the hens except during a very short breeding season. Even 'then It is better to confine the ones not in the breeding pen and give the breed ers free range. Of course, where, ore breeds more than one variety this Is out of the question. To sum up, then, make the rooms square, large, tight on every side ex cept above two feet from the floor on the south side. Make the floor of concrete and get It up off the ground. Rat-Proof Poultry Houses. Poultry houses may be made rat proof by placing dirt or sand floors on a good concrete foundation, and then can be readily cleaned. In stables wooden floors on concrete, while costing more than the ordinary floor, will keep out the rats. Galvanized wire netting with a half-inch mesh will prevent rats from gnawing the wood beneath granaries, poultry houses and small buildings, but the whole structure will need to be cov ered. Cellar windows should be pro tected in the same manner. Do not place poison where fowls, other birds or domestic animate can get at it. Felt by so many upon the return of warm weather Is due to the impure, impoverished, devitalized condition of the blood which causes that tired feeling and loss of appetite as weli as the pimples, boils and other eruptions 90 common at this season. It is cured by the great constitutional remedy Hood s which effects its wonderful cures, not simply because it contains sarsaparil la, but because it combines the utmost remedial values of more than twenty different ingredients. There is no real substitute for Hood's Sarsaparilla. If urged to buy any preparation said to be "just as. good," you may be sure it is inferior, costs less to make, and yields the dealer & larger profit. Absent-Minded Suffragette.

FREE SAMPLE CURED OLD PERSON'S BOWEL TROUBLE One of .the most remarkable proofs of the unusual laxative merit contained In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is that It is effective not only in people in the prime of life, but at the extremes of ages. As many letters are received from mothers regarding the cures of children, as from men and women of sSxty, seventy and eighty j'ears of age. It must be truly a wonderful . laxative. In the cure of constipation and bowel trouble in old people It has no equal. It jorrects the constipation, dispels the head ache, biliousness, gas. drowsiness after eating, etc. People advancing In years should see to it that their bowels move freely, and if they do not to take Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

One day, while I was reading what other suffering women said it had done for them, I decided to try Cardui. Now I am on my third bottle, and I don't feel like the same person. I feel so much stronger and better! I recommend Cardui to all suffering women." This is just a single one of the thousands of letters we receive from grateful ladies, who want to thank us for the benefit they have received from Cardui. All these ladies are glad now that they took it If you suffer from pains in head, back, or side, are nervous and worn out, take Cardui.
