Washington wps known three-quarters
of a century ago as the City of Magnif
icent Distances. The White House
was known as the "President's Pal
ace," and the government buildings,
planned on generous lines, were con
sidered to be far and away too great
for the business of the country. Now
the national capital is over 100 years
old, and has outgrown everything that
was planned for her.-. Tremendous
wings were built to the capitol even
before the war. The White House has
been remodeled and remodeled until It
presents very small appearance of the
original. We have outgrown our beau
tiful treasury building, our state, war
and navy building, we have outgrown
two postal departments, and we lone
ago outgrew the ten miles square of
the district boundaries. In fact, the
residents of Washington have lapped
over into Maryland and Virginia, at a
great rater - ' "
The treasury building is of an
cient Greek temple design, and simply
cannot be remodeled.' To add to or
take from it a single stone would be

UNCLE SAM himself is going Into

With the authority of President Taft,
a contract has been entered into by
the government officials and a Chicago
firm for the purpose of reproducing In
moving pictures all of the various ac

will be shown In hundreds of moving

single activity of the government will
be shown on the films.
The preblem of educating the public
to the work being done by Its own
government was carefully considered
by the president and members of his
cabinet before the contract was en
tered into. Each cabinet officer was
then authorized to make his own ar
rangement with the film concern, hav
ing the right to arrange for sueh pic

reject those he does not care for.

BACK
THE United States has recovered
nearly $750,000 from the concealed
assets of Gaynor, Greene and Carter,
who defrauded the government out of
$2,000,000 in Savannah harbor im
provement contracts in 1897. The
actual amount unearthed and attached
was $630,966.69. This does not In
clude $40,000 forfeited surety of John
F. -Gaynor. This sum the government
is endeavoring o recover by civil suit
in the United States district court for
the northern district of New York.
More than half of the recovery came
from the concealed assets of Capt.
Oberlin M. Carter, the engineer officer
In charge of the work at Savannah
harbor and co-conspirator of. Greene
and Gaynor, the contractors. The
total assets of Captain Carter seized
by the government amounted to $501,-
855.39. From B. D. Greene $105,460.25
Uncle Sam Builds
A PRISON within a prison Is being
built at Leavenworth, Kan., and It
will be the first exclusive federal
prison for women In the United States.
The new Jail Is being built within the
walls of the United States peniten
tiary, but It will have a wall of Its
own and the inmates will be more se
curely shut off from the world than
the more desperate men confined in
the men's prison.
This Inside prison will have room
for about 500 women, there being now
about that number in the various
state penitentiaries In the United
States, the government paying tne
states for" their keep. These women
have been convicted mainly of viola
tions of the postal laws, smuggling,
counterfeiting or white slaving.
While the women's prison will be
under control of the warden, there
will be a woman superintendent and
raider her a corps of subordinates.
Because of being confined behind
double walls no guards. will be neces
ary. it will h a nil a that nn mart

to ruin it, architecturally speaking. It
is said to be the most perfect exam
ple of Greek art in this country, but
the treasury department had to have
more room, and so they unpinned the
roof and shoved it up some on the
sides and made a little more room sky
ward. The state, war and navy build
ing always was hideous;' being what
is called Italian renaissance, and not
at all suited to the solid, last-forever
necessities of the United States gov
ernment, and it looks as tawdry as pos
sible when brought, as It is, into jux
taposition with the White House and
the simplicity of the Greek temple of
finance.
When the building was put up which
was to house the United States postal
department and tiie city post office
some architects planned a sort of Col
ogne Cathedral building, which is a
long ways off from being big enough
for either department and doesn't
match anything in the government
building line in Washington. After this
structure was put up there was a re
form in ideas for government build
ings, and since then they have been
along the stately, substantial line. The
finest recent examples of these are
found in the splendid white marble
buildings constructed for the house and
senate office buildings, which have for
the central figure the beautiful white
marble national capitol, with the con
gressional library and its gilded dome
in the foreground.
the latter, the films will show the
farmer trying to carry loads of prod
uce over a bad road; how he became
sick; how the doctor Is unable to
reach him, and how, because of the
mud ruts, the undertaker finds It ex
ceedingly difficult to get him to his
grave. Another film will show another
farmer carrying his produce twice as
much over a model road constructed
under the supervision of the govern
ment The department of agriculture will
be able to show, in entertaining as
well as instructive style, the effects
of pure food and Impure food; the
secretary of war will be able to show
the advantages of army life, and the
secretary of the navy the advantages
of life on the bounding waves, while
the interior department will be show
ing how forest fires are fought and
entombed miners are rescued.
Assets Recovered
was recovered, and from John F. Gay
nor $29,651.05.
Most of the assets of Captain Car
ter were in trust funds. They were
traced to and corralled in the hands
of receivers for the estate of Captain
Carter. These trust funds Included
real estate, bonds, stocks and cash.
The government made attachment in
this case. Of the $501,855.39 recov
ered from the Carter concealed assets
the Supreme Court of. the United
States allowed $111,054.28 for Carter's
counsel expenses.
All the proceedings in the courts in
the Carter case have been terminated,
but all of the assets turned over to
the government have not been con
verted into cash. The total amount of
cash In the Carter assets turned in is
$227,852. The balance is in real es
tate In New York and New Jersey,
and certain securities In Georgia. They
now are In process of being sold. In
every case the assets corralled had
been transferred by Greene, -Gaynor
and Carter to other persons or held
by persons for them in concealment.
The tracing of the assets was most
difficult. '

SUNFLOWER SEEDS AS FEED
Value It Not Fully Appreciated by All
poultrymen With Grain Make
. Excellent Ration.
The fact that sunflower seeds make
eood poultry feed is not fully appre
ciated ; by all. With any grain they
make a . well balanced ration. These
flowers grow well upon all irrigated
tracts.- The growth is very rapid and
:he large broad leaves afford excellent
shade ffor the young chicks. It is al-.
ways a wise policy, to plant the seeds
sn that they can be conveniently used.
Tlie falling seeds are thus saved and
the shade afforded is very valuable.
Sunflowers grow and produce the
largest heads whe. planted in rows
and cared for like corn. It is always
advisable to allow the heads to be
come thoroughly ripe before harvest-
ng. Cut as little of the stalk off with
he heads as possible. The heads are
conveniently fed whule, especially
during the winter months. When fed
,n this way it will be found that the
Leeds fare relished by the fowls.
When th poultry is molting there
millet re sometimes fed with the
Bunflafwer ieed. . This makes a ration
very v2luable, not only because of
ts affording a variety but bocause of
the valuable feed constituents that
these grains contain. This ration,
withr an occasional feed of fresh meat,
wilK make the hens lay. Corn should
never be fed more than once a week
or egg production, but it is very val
uable as a fat producer.
EXCELLENT BREEDS FOR EGGS
.eg horns, Minorcas, Andaluslans,
Houdans and Hamburg Will Prove
. I Profitable on Any Farm.
If eggs alone are wanted, it will be
best to keep only non-sitting breeds,
of which Leghorns, Minorcas, Andalu
slans, Houdans, or Hamburgs will do
well on the farm. If necessary, the
eggs I may be hatched in incubators,
which, in careful hands, now do good
work;; or a few may also be kept of

purchasing every 'year merely one or
twof young cocks of the breed select
ed. I Thus, if the cocks are Minorcas,
the farm stock will gradually be con
verted into hardy black fowls which
seldom or never sit, near the Minorca
type; while if Dorkings be used, there
will saan be a fine race of table
fowls. Often, when there is any one
on the farm who cares about it, it
will be best to make up every year a
special breeding lot of fine birds. No
farmer would expect to make his oth
er jive stock pay unless he saw to
such things; and he cannot expect
fowls to pay either, unless he will
give the same ordinary thought and
care to them.
Whey seems like pretty thin diet,
but it is really better than nothing

When your birds get big enough for

the worry about hawks, crows and
diseases.

It is not wise to change breeds
every spring. All the standard breeds
are good. Make the one you already
have do its best. ;
It is a mistake to wash eggs or to

have the nests clean so that the eggs

HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN
"About two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed, the
skin would scale off, and the good
flesh would burn and itch dreadfully.
When my hands first started to get
sore, there were small blisters like wa
ter blisters which formed. They
itched dreadfully, it Just seemed as
though I could tear the skin all off. I
would scratch them and the skin would
peel off, and the flesh would be all
red and crack, open and bleed. It wor
ried me very much, as I had never
had anything the matter with my skin.
I was so afraid I would have to give
up my employment.
"My doctor said he didn't think it
would amount to anything. But it kept
getting worse. One day I saw a piece
In one of the papers about a lady who
had the same trouble with her hands.
