Men Engaged in Building I-ocks for Uncle Sam Tnke Smallpox Engl niM'r Isolates Them, Thereby Sating Government Tliousand of Dollars, Yet Treasury Officials Refuse to Pay Kill. Washington. The well known fact that government red tape sometimes runs to extremes Is well established In a flagrant case Just decided by the comptroller of the treasury. Congress appropriated a good sum of money to build locks In the Oua chita river, Louisiana, and JUBt when the water was at a low stage at Lock 4, an(j the work could be pushed most rapidly, two of the employes were stricken with smallpox. There was no time to appeal to Washington for advice. Neither of the men were res idents of Monroe, two miles away, and the parish of Ouachita refused to bear the expense of caring for them. But from the nature of the disease It was absolutely necessary that Immediate steps be taken to Isolate the men, give them proper medical attention, and prevent the spread of the Infec tion, or the work which would have to be stopped. So the engineer in charge took the matter upon him self. He hired a nurse and a doctor for the smallpox patients and after about a month 27 days, to be exact they recovered. Then be put in the bill, and a very moderate one at that. Board for the two was charged at only 80 cents per day; the nurse was paid $44 and the doctor's fees amounted to $30. The total bill was $95.60 and the engineer asked that this expense. Incurred in saving the lives of the two men, and. Incidentally, saving thousands of dol lars to both the federal and Louisiana state governments, should be charg ed against the appropriations made by congress for the Improvement of tbe river. Did the argus-eyed treasury audi tors see the matter in that light? Not by a darn sight! Secretary of War Dickinson wrote an appealing letter setting forth the facts, but the comp troller of the treasury refused to pay the bill on the ground that there was nothing In the contract of employ ment of the two men that entitled them to medical attendance or to sub sistence when they were not actually working. The engineer Is now wondering whether he will have to pay the bill out of his own pocket, and Secretary Dickinson is scratching his head to find some method by which this self sacrifice to red tape may be avoided. Of course the treasury officials were acting strictly within the law In mak ing their decision. But other some what cases are constantly arising in the various departments of the gov ernment and they form a strong ar gument In favor of the appropriation by congress of a special emergency fund from which claims of this char acter couid be paid.

PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE. John Barrett Plans to Make Notable Occasion of Big Affair. Washington. Under the Initiative of John Barrett, director of the bu reau of American republics and the most successful international impres sarlo that Institution has known in its variegated career, the United states is preparing to make the Pan-American conference which is to be held In Rio de Janeiro next summer one of the most notable gatherings on this side of the Atlantic. The dele gates will go down on a warship if congress can be prevailed upon to provide an appropriation In time. Be sides, Secretary Meyer is planning a special cruise of the cruiser squadron of the Atlantic flet which will take the ships to Rio for the opening cf the conference. In the meantime Sec retary Knox and President Taft are arranging a tenatlve list of delegates to represent the United States in or der that there may be no delay after congress has provided the funds. The Pan-American conference of 1910 will have many Important sub jects to discuss, the first of which Is the preparation for the celebration of the opening of the Panama canal in 19i3. Although this Is the project of the United States It is to be an oc casion for mutual congratulation among all the North and South Am erican countries, and it is expected to be another means of linking the In terests of the United States with all of Latin America, The diplomatic significance of the ovent Is the more Important In the eyes of the world. President Taft and Secretary Knox will have an opportu nity not only of giving evidence of the friendship n the United States for the Latin American republics, but of boosting the commercial program of the United States when In the the countries concerned. With this this event in view it Is desirable that there may be no uncomfortable enmi ties to mar the success of the Inter national function. Albania Congressman Tells Lawmak ers os Little Pest. Washington. Congressman Heflin, of Alnbama, spoke, or sang, In the house of representatives of tbe boll weevil and its deadly execution, and this was his refrain: He has told you how long he Is and how big round he is, and one gen tleman says: 'He's too -little to fool with.' One thing Is certain, I take It, and that is, you gentlemen on that side are not acquainted with the de structive power of this insignificant looking Insect. "Mr. Chairman, if the boll weevil were bigger than he now 1b, and the mischief that he can do now should Increase with his size, and he should multiply and move as fast aa he now does, he would not only destroy the cotton boll in the morning of Its youth and promise, but he would also 'eat up' the cotton stalk. If the chlgger were bigger. As big as a cow. And his digger Had vigor. Like a subsoil plow, Can you flggcr, Plcknicker, Where you'd, be now? "The boll weevil is a cold and cruel calculator. He watches and waits, and when the time arrives for his work of destruction he ruthlessly slaughters the young hopeful of the cotton plant. He looks upon the cot bursts, lily white from the heart of the 'square,' and be gazes upon it when It turns rosy red in the after noon, and he laughs with ghoulish glee when it finally fades and falls. Now is his feast time and now his work of destruction begins. The tiny green boll glistening in the sun, preg nant with the white fiber on which millions of spindles wait and for which millions of human beings yearn, Is the proud citadel that he now at tacks, and from one end of the cot ton row to the other the ground Is covered with dead and dying bolls." The pure food law is designed by the goverment to protect the public from Injurious ingredients In both foods and drugs. It is beneficial both to the public and to the conscientious manufacturer. Ely's Cream Balm, a successful remedy for cold In the head, nasal catarrh, hay fever, etc, containing no injurious drugs meets fully the requirements of the new law and that fact is prominently stated on every package. It contains none of the Injurious drugs which are requir ed by the law to be mentioned on the label. Hence you can use It safely. A MILLION DOLLARS FOR ADVERTISING For Sale.
