The bill to classify the rural free
delivery service and place the car
riers under the contract system,
which has been debated in the house
for over a week, was passed yester-
day, but in a form that completely
changed the purpose for which it
was framed. Before it was passed
the bill was altered radically by Its
opponents. All the provisions relat-
ing to the placing of carriers under
the contract system were stricken
out and the salary system not only
was continued but the maximum sal
AIRY of carriers was increased from
$500 to 5000 per annum. A motion
offered by Mr.. Williams, democrat,
of Illinois, to recomInt the bill with
instructions to report back an amend
ment providing for the dismissal
from the service Of carriers who
should use their influence in favor of
any particular party or for any par
ticuIar candidate was voted down
D6 to III.
As passed the bill classifcs the ru-
raj free delivery service and fixes the
compensation of employees as fol-
lows: Special agents in charge OF di-
visions, not exceeding $2,4oO per an
nun; special agents. four classes,
graded from 81 300 to $1,000; route
inspectors, four classes, from 5000
to $1,000; clerks, four classes, from
5000 TO $1,000. The compensation of
carriers is not to exceed 5000. To-
day the post Office appropriation bill
will be considered.

the mystery of nerve action
has been solved.

nerves are fat nerves-and
that it is the fat in the core Of
the nerve which is sensitive
and by hardening and soften
ing creates nerve action.
Maybe this explains why
SCOTS Emulsion has always
been such a remarkable remedy
tor nervousness.
SCOTS Emulsion feeds thin
