O MUD AND DOUGH The various states of the union are said to have $622,000,- 000 for the purpose of building good roads. That is, the states|| have the “dough” and the people still have the mud.

CLARK. ! Washington.—Secretary of the Navy | Edwin Denby is paying his second visit to Guantanamo, Cuba. It i§, however, I'the first visit which he has paid as |secretary of the navy. The first time he was there he was a gunner’s wmate lon board a gunboat, the Yosemite. | . The understanding in Washington Is Ithat the present cabinet is to be a itraveling cabinet, when traveling Is inecessary for the “good of the serv- {ice.” Most of the cabinet officers have {#id that they want to follow the lines (oz the activities of their departments 1in the field, and to learn at first hand | {where it is necessary to apply reme- | dies. 3 ! Secretary Denby, on his former trips | lon battleships or cruisers, swung his | (hammock and slept with the enlisted {men. He also messed with the enlist- :ed ones, and the word is that he not in- | |frequently took a hand at scrubbing | |decks. Now things are different. The flag _of the secretary of the navy flies from | the peak, and thel secretary himself | thas a cabin “all by his lonesome,” but e, like the captain of a war vessel, | frequently will invite the officers from |captain down to share his table. 1t {can be taken for granted that as for the enlisted men on board, including the murines, the secretary will have & kindly eye upon them, or an eye which will be quick to note signs of anything whieh may call for improvement, | It is the intention of Secretary of | | War Waskg to visit the various army iposts of the country. The war secre- tary has “sea legs,” but he soon will learn to keep step with the land lub- |bers. As a.matter of fact, the midship- !men at the Naval academy, where the secretary of war was educated, are | given infantry drill constantly, and so {in a way their early training in part can be classed with that of the cadets !at West Point. Get It First Hand. Will H. Hayg, before he has been In office very long, will board a train car- rying the mails. Moreover, he Wwill visit some of the greater post offices iof the country and, being a country l:bny himself, he probably will extend |ihis tour of investigation, inquiry or | “visualization” even into the lanes along which drlve the rural route car- | riers. . The secretary of the interior always {has had more or less traveling to do. Alaska comes within the purview of his department, and all the secretaries since Seward’s tlme have paid at least one visit to the Northwestern posses- {{slon. It can be taken for grauted that before long Secretary Fall will start {for the Alaska land. | fThere Is some reason for the secre- |tary to go to Alaska just about this I It is understood that congress is going to express a marked jnterest ”In the government-built, government- 4;u\me(l and government-operated rail- |iread in Alaska. This venture on the ipart of the government was fntended | to prove the entire feasibility and the | certain success of government ratiroad | operation and ownership. | Recently in congress, when the Alas- :kan railroad item came up for consid- | eration, there were several attacks on i the whole project. It was said in ef- ;fcct that, while the road was remarka- ;My well built, the line of its route was i badly .chosen and that it never can be |a paying venture. |~ Whether or not these things are true, | of course, remains to be seen, but it is 'known that the secretary of the in- i terior feels a responsibility In the case, | for the building of the road and the se- {ilection of the routes and of the ports | were placed within the department of || which he {s the new chieftain. i Hoover Will Travel. ! 1: Commerce suggests travel. Herbert | i Hoover is secretary of commetce and |i he has expressed a wish that the scope | | of the activities of his office shall be | !'much extended. Mr, Hoover always I has been a believer in the plau of look- | {1ing on the scene of actual labor. TIn his {jwork abroad, and his work in the food | || administration, he undertook to direct | 'nothing at all until he had found out | by actual personal investigation how | |'nis directing best might count. He | ‘ probably will be something of a tray-| | eler. ‘l The secretary of the treasurs, the attorney general and the secretaries of | agriculture and of labor will not have | | to do as much traveling as the other | members of the cabinet. Of course | | every cabinet officer is in demand a \ public speaker, and as a rule they are | willing to comply with the demands | unless the travel interferes with their |'public duties. Neither the secretary of the treasury nor the attorney general | !'thus far has outlined any marked de- | | parture from the lines followed by his | predecessor in office, and so far as the | } secretary of the treasury is cdneerned | !.the present taxation problems and ! ! other things are likely to keep him pretiy tightly chained to his Washing- ton_office. | Subscribe for The Dally Pioneer. | Le Ag Baromete One of the most curious of the many natural barometers consists of a half- pint glass full of water, a piece of ‘| muslin, and a leech, The leech must be put in the water, and the muslin tied over the top of the glass, so that the creature cannot get out again. When fine weatlier is to be the order of the day the leech remains at the Dbottom of the water, colled up in spiral shape, and quite motionless. If rain is to be espected it will creep to the | top of the glass, and remain there till there s a likelihood of more settled weather. 1If there is to be a storm of wind the little animal will contort it- self violently and squirm about. For some days before thunder it will keep | out of the water almost all the time, and will occasionally move its body in a convulsive fashion. ' For frosty weather it behaves in the same man- ner as for fine, and it foretells snow in the same manner as it does rain.

SUPREMACY CLAIMS WELL SUPPORTED Many of the Medicinal Ele-| ments Have Been Known and Used Since Civilization First Began. \ Tanlag, the celebrated medicine which has been accomplishing such re- markable results ° throughout - this country and Canada, is composed of the most beneficial roots and Herbs known to science. The formula is purely ethical and, camplies with all National and State ‘¢’ Food and Drug Laws. Al% « there. are ten ingredients anlac, each of which is of recognized: ‘therapeutic value. o A ; Many of these .ingredients have been individually ‘known ‘and’ used since civilization . first. began,. and some of them have been-used:and prescribed by leading physicians ev- erywhere, but until they were brought together in proper propor- tion and association, as in the Tan- lac formula, humanity had not here- tofore realized their full value and effect. In referring to one of the more im- portant ingredients of Tanlac, the Encyclopedia Brittanica says: “It has been the source of the most val- uable tonic medicines that have ever been discovered.” In referring to others of the general tonic drugs con- tained in Tanlac, the 13th Edition of Potter’s Therapeutics, a standard medical text bool, states that “They impart general tone and strength to the entire system, including all or- gans and tissues.” This same well known authority, in describing the physiological action of still another of the ingredients of Tanlac, which is of value in treating: [ what is commonly known as’“a’‘run- down condition,” usés the following expression: “It is highly esteemed in’ loss of appetite during convalgsceR from acute.diseases.” ¢ There are certain other elel Tanlac which, because of the ence upon the appetite, dig assimilation” and elimination, prove iie nutrition and vital ‘a’cl‘{ ity of the tissues and more importang or- gans of the body, and produce “that state of general tonicity whicl called Health.
