GRAVES TO HIDE BEHIND UNCLE SAM Fears Germany Will Try to Have New York, Nov. 2l.—Armgunard Karl Graves, alleged former confiden- tial agent of the German government, who was arrested in Washington ten days ago charged with an attempt to blackmail the Countess von Bernstorff, wife of the German ambassador, called at the naturalization office in the hall of records yesterday and made application for his first citizen- ship papers. With him was his coun- sel, John J. Halligan of 277 Broadway, who said: “Dr. Graves fears that an attempt | will be made by the German govern- ment to get possession of his person. snap, dam is to be built work should begin | he still | The mat- : ; ter would have to go through to the | | council and then to a city meeting, if | L in- | | | terrupted to say that he favored find- EW BRITAIN D CHAIR WARMERS IN - CUSTOMS SERVICE Efficiency of Some Is Rated asf Low As Zero New the York, Nov. higher 21 up” customs service —That some of in the United are at their “mien States offices only on pay day was the charge by Frank M.

They have a | combined salary of $422,000 a year. There was room for great saving to the government in the customs de- | partment, Mr. Halstead said, in spite of the fact that the operating ex- penses had been reduced $1,400,000 annually since the conference of cus- toms officers began. He said the most important matter before the present conference, which will last all week, was the taking of the customs service out of politics and putting it under the merit system. Officials should be chosen because of their fitness, he continued, and should hold office as long as they gave efficient service. “I am sorry to say there are those in the service who appear at their officés only on pay day,” said Mr. Hal- stead. “I have often wondered how a man who would not think for a min- ute of taking something from another man for which he gave no return can ! so calmly take from his state money for which he returns no service and still consider himself an honorable man.” BANKER SENTENCED.

Every organ of your body has been working in perfect accord, un- hampered by the “drag” which clog- ging always causes in any machine and esgecially in the human one. f you did not keep your home free from waste, you could not live in it; yet your physical being is affected by it in exactly the same way—by poisoning, or, as it is generally termed, “Auto-In- toxication.” Show us a person that is depressed, nervous, uncertain in judgment, who takes up the day’s work fearful of trouble that may develop, and it’s ten to one that there’s more or less waste “J.
