admirable qualities of experience

"torse sense."

Oup of he youngest officials of
the Wilson administration is at the
head of the oldest scientific depart
ment of the government, and his ap
pointment was not the result of luck,
accident or political influence, but the
recognition of remarkable qualifica
tions which fitted him for the posi
-tion.
It was on the fifteenth of April,
the day following his thirty-ninth
birthday, that Dr. E. Lester Jones be
came superintendent of the coast and
geodetic survey, the service which,
according to Secretary Redfield, "deaL:
first with humanity and second with
commerce."
Perhaps no one In the survey, no
matter how long he has been in the
service, has spent more of his life
m the open than has Doctor Jones.
Indeed. It would seem, that by en
vironment. training, education and
temperament, he had been qualifying
for the suoerintendency of the coast
and geodetic survey all his life. He was born in Orange. N. J.. and as a
small boy was the companion of his father, himself a scientist and a student
of nature.
Doctor Jones was educated at Princeton and Heidelberg; in Germany he
hunted, fished and studied in the Black forest and specialized in zoology.
For five years he was connected with the New Jersey fish and game com
mission. and his first service in the national government was as deputy com- !
missioner of the bureau of fisheries. It was while he was deputy commis
sioner that he was sent to Alaska to investigate the seal and fish industries,
and the report he submitted was not only proof of his tireless, unflagging
energy as a workman, but what Secretary Redfield pronounced 'a remarkable
document.”

As a barefooted lad in Texas,
where he was born thirty-two years
ago. Louis Ford made up his mind to
enter the navy, but his parents were
not able to send him to college and
the influence to obtain an appointment
to the naval academy was lacking. So
at the age of fourteen Louis went to
work on a Sabine river tugboat, and
three years later became an appren
tice in a machine shop. In two years
more he was a full-fledged machinist
and enlisted as such in the navy

One of the residents, the story runs,

saloon and beheld four bewhiskered.
rough-looking individuals.
They were deeply dejected. They
sat far back in their chairs, hands in
pockets. Occasionally one of them
sighed or swore. In front of them
were stacks of chips representing
several thousand dollars in gold.
"What’s the matter?" asked the
visitor.
“This here poker game is busted
up!” was the reply.
"Busted up?” repeated the visitor,
in astonishment "Why. you’ve got
enough money there to play for a

INFANT MORTALITY is somethin* frightful. We can hardly realise that
of ail the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent.,
or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; tkrrtr-eeven
percent., or more than one third, before they are five, and one-half before
they are fifteen l
We do not hesitate to say that a time’.v use of Castoria would save a
majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many
of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic "preparations.
Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain
more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities,
deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead
to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria d-e rates exactly the reverse, but
yon must see that it bears the signature of Chas. ZL Fletcher. Castoria
causes the hloixi to circulate properly, opens the

some do, and miss it ever so much
when they don't but 1 am learning that
it is really a great inconvenience
"You know usually in summer good
servants are not nearly so hard t. get.
but now so many people are staying
home and keeping their servants that
it is almost impossible to get a good
one. One agent 1 saw yesterday told
me she had had 12 calls in the morn

of one kind or another and she had ab
solutely nothing to offer, I understand
that 200,000 people will not be going
abroad this year and every one of
them, or their families, are exhausting

did think war was dreadful, and now
I think it is worse than ever.”
