IT is not unusual to find in elective offices an individual who is not elected but who remains throughout Administration after Administration. This individual frequently becomes an expert in the work and newly elected officers rely upon that person to aid them through their first few inexperi enced months. More frequently than not It is a woman who occupies the re eponsible position. Practically every Government office from Washington to the least important state or city has euch an expert, who is little known out side of her immediate vocation, but who in reality holds the guiding lines of the office. Such a woman as this is Miss Mary SI. O'Reilly, a member of the Federal service. Miss O'Reilly is officially con fidential secretary to the Director of the Mint. The duty of the director is to prescribe the rules for the transac tion of business with all mints and assay offices in the United States. It is his duty, through his secretary, to review all accounts which are received daily, direct all expenditures and au thorize the amount of money to be coined. The tests and scales used in the manufacture of coins are also made under the direction of the director. An annual settlement is made at each of the mints and assay offices through out the country and this necessitates expert auditing. It is impossible for the director to attend to these things . personally, and Miss O'Reilly has re peatedly been chosen to Ferve upon the Kettlement committee, comprised en tirely of men, with herself as the only exception. She served In this capacity in Denver and Philadelphia mints and in many assay offices. m Miss O'Reilly is still young to have achieved such marked success in Gov ernment service. She was born In Bos ton and educated In New Orleans. She is an extremely womanly woman, not withstanding the fact that in the busi ness world she competes with men on their own footing and is viewed from exactly the same angle in the official circles In which she moves. Prior to her work in the mint Miss O'Reilly was employed in the Department of Com merce. For 10 years she has been asso ciated with the office of the Director of the Mint. In that time she has made a serious Study of all phases of the bureau of which she is an important part. She has every word of important official data at her finger ends, and is said to know more of the intimate workings of the United States Mint than any of her superiors In office. She is In charge of nil important official correspondence of the mint. She has" studied deeply the subject of standard of values and the literature of estimates on the value of foreign coins published quarterly from the office of the Director of the Mint is also a product of her Judgment. MEMBER OF WOMAN'S STATE PRESS CLUB TO PRESIDE PUBLICITY PROGRAMME NEXT WEDNESDAY. AT t ' "ffrrf njffirfift igK-iirHr r7---r-m(k?f'''t " 9 we want them to, if life is not yield ing us all we want in the way of true contentment for after all what else do we ask ,of life perhaps it is the result of muddle, of doing things "rather more or less"; with most of us, probably "less." That is, we are not, or in the past,, have not, thought clearly or truly. Our thinking has been muddled. Conse quently our actions have been muddled, and life at present is muddled. We have not perhaps thought out our business affairs clearly, and con sequently we are at present in a mud dle. We are not earning What we want to. Or we are undecided whether we are in the right position, or our day's work does not go pleasantly with those with whom we are associated. Some where in our business life there is dissatisfaction. There is a hitch in stead of smooth going. Maybe the muddle is in our house keeping. Expense overtops income. Or the work never seems to get done. The house is in disorder. We never seem to be able to catch up. Wherever the muddle may be, we mav count with fair certainty on its coming somewhere from lack of clear, true thinking. And this isn t because we can't think, but because we don't think. We drift mentally. We go along in ruts. We follow routine. When some problem comes up, we choose the easiest way to solve it. And the need is not only to think clearly but to thinltf truly, if we would avoid muddle. A man may think clear ly how to rob or murder. But this will only bring him to muddle in life. One must have a standard of truth to keep life in accord with; and then we must hold our thinking up along side this and see if we are thinking truly, if we would avoid muddle." And so during our Lenten devotions, it might be well to give some thought to the question of muddle. For muddle thinking does give us disorder dis order in our own life, disorder in our National life. We need to do some clear, true thinking at present Nation ally, or we will come to muddle. The present frightful muddle abroad is due not only to lack of clear thinking but lack of true thinking. There was not among the nations a standard of justice and humanity to measure thought up to. Selfishness, personal ambition, greed crept Into muddle thinking. Waste of life limitation, unemploy ment, inefficiency, discontent, all come from muddle. There Is muddle some where to cause these things. We can all help to remove them by thinking clearly and truly. It pays to take time to think. DOUGHHUT KING SETTLES MOTHEH-I.V-LAW TO BE PAID -u OX CONTRACT FOR LIFE. Snapshots. By Barbka E oyd. Lenten Philosophy Muddle. TT7E hear a good bit these days of VV muddle and the effects of muddle. A well-known writer says "M'iddle is the enemy. Clearness and order, light and foresight, these things I know for good. Muddle gives us vis ibly sprawling disorder of our cities, muddle gives us the waste of life, the limitations, wretchedness and unem ployment of thepoor." And Kipling yces the same thought in . All alonr o' dirtiness, all alonor o' mens. All along o doin' things rather more or less. There is quite a bit of truth in it all. Isn't there? And in these quiet Lenten days when some of us give thought to subjects not usually considered, we might profit by turning our attention to this Idea of muddle. " If our affairs are not going just as HIT WILL BE TERCENTENARY OF SHAKESPEARE TO BE REMEMBERED. Failure of Proposed Pantry TniHt on Pacific Coast la Reraled by Testimony fn Action. On the agreement of A. A.' Hoover, "the doughnut king," to p-y his mother-in-law $350 down and J25 a month for the rest of her life, her suit against him was settled in the court of Circuit Judge Gantenbein yesterday. Mrs. Lucy C Lesher. the plaintiff, asked for $75 a month, alleged to be due on a former contract, for life. The failure of a coast-wide doughnut trust was Involved in the action. Mr. Hoover established himself in business jn Portland in 1908, and set up his father-in-law in business, giving him the southwest part of the city as ter ritory for doughnut and pastry orders. In May of 1912 Mr. Hoover conceived the idea of a doughnut "trust" and branched out in Sjeattle, Sacramento and other Coast cities. Instead of giving his parents-ln-law stock in the new corporation. Mr. Hoo ver promised to pay them $75 a month for life. In September of the same year the "trust" broke, and the parents of Mrs. Hoover were offered three al- ternatives: one, $75 a month for life. or. secona, re-estaolishment In busi ness, or, third. $100 a month as long as Mr. Lesher lived and a home for Mrs. Lesher in case she survived. The lat ter plan was agreed to. Mr. Lesher died In 1914, and Mrs. Lesher then wished to return to the $75 a month arrangement, and suit fol lowed. "Hoyt, the pastry king," of Seattle, was a co-defendant because of business connections with Mr. Hoover. CITY TO PROBE AUTO USE Reports of Misuse of Cars in Service Reach Mr. Bigelow.

Very few remedies have advanced as rapidly in the eyes of the public as has Plant Juice, the new herbal system tonic, which Is being introduced throughout the country. It has only been on the market for a short time, but already there are a great many who have been benefited in health by means of Its use. Wishing to give others who are suf fering like he did the benefit of his ex perience. Mr. George Mitchell, who re sides at Carnegie, Pa., where he lives in the old homestead of his grand father, built in 1794, said: "For years I was afflicted with stom ach trouble. My mother, nearly 80 years of age, and an uncle and aunt were also afflicted in the same way. Their ad vanced age made them feel the need of a good medicine, whan they found Plant Juice and have been taking it for the past year, and they cannot speak too highly of its beneficial effect, as they have found it a splendid tonic. I have only used it for a short time and found it a splendid tonio for my trouble; in fact, I can truthfully say I am entirely cured and have no more aches or pains. I will gladly recommend it to all of my friends." There are numerous symptoms of this trouble that Plant Juice can relieve. In fact, any of the following may denote affection of the stomach: Indigestion, dyspepsia, belching of wind, bad breath, sick, throbbing headache, poor circula tion, night sweats, that tired feeling, costivenees, coated tongue or a poor complexion.
