Inspector Stewart Will Recon-.
mend More Carrier Help
for the City.

Postoffice Inspector c. q. Stewart, OF
Iowa CITY, who spent Tuesday in the
city for the purpose of investigating
the application of Postmaster Saint for
additional carrier help, departed in the
evening, after making careful inspec-
ton. Mr.. Stewart will recommend at
least one additional carrier, but he will
insist that patrons who now receive the
benefit of the free delivery service
comply with the rules of the depart
partment. II they do not there are sew
eral sections of the city that may be cut
off from the routes of the carriers.
The rules of the department demand
that patrons of the free delivery serv-
ice shall provide good sidewalks in
front of their premises, shall number
their houses and provide suitable re-
ceptacles for the deposit of their mails
at their doors-in other words, mail
boxes. Il was greatly surprised in
driving over some of the routes of your
city today said Inspector Stewart
Tuesday evening ito find some of the
oldest sections of the city unprovided
with sidewalks. This is especially true
Of the southwest part of town, where
there are stretches of several blocks
where one side of the street is not pro-
vided with sidewalks. In other places
loose boards have been thrown down
and in others cinders answer as an ex-
cuse for walk. All over the city pat
rons have failed to provide house num-
bers and receptacles. Where there are
no boxes the carriers are compelled to
throw the mail on the porch, and IL a
letter is lost either the department or
postmaster is blamed. Patrons conf
plain, and the postmaster is placed In
an embarrassing position. If the de-
partment helps your city out at ALL it
will be chance, as the people haven't
done their part"
Mr.. Stewart said the service in Mar
shalltown certainly needed at least one
carrier and he will recommend that one
he allowed. AT the same time he init
mated that parties who have not COM
piled with the rules referred to might
soon find themselves excluded from the
benefits of the free delivery service,
and that it would be we'll for them to
comply at the earliest possible time.
Mr.. Stewart says that in the southwest
portion of the city there are stretches
where no walks are laid. and that in
muddy weather in the spring of the
year carrier with fifty or seventy-f1ve
pounds of mail on his back would go
into the mud to his ankles.
Those who appreciate the convent
ence of mall delivery twice day
should hasten to comply with the de-
partment's rules otherwise they may
find themselves cut out from the routes
Mr.. Stewart Went from Marshalltown
to Boone where he will look after mat
tiers connected with his department.

nor graciously complied. To those who
had never heard him he made an ex-
icellent impression from the start. Mr..
Cummins said he had talked so much
of late that he was getting tired of the
sound of his own Voice-that the men
who wore the little bronze buttons on
the lapels of their coats were the ones
who ought to speak on an occasion of
this kind. He said he was born too late
to participate in the war of the rebel
lion, and he told an amusing story of his
first attempt to address a gathering of
veterans back in Pennsylvania, starting
out Enthusiastically With the declaration
that he was born too young to fight.
This was as far as he could get, for the
reason that his carefully prepared
speech was forgotten. After repeating
of the veterans leaned over and re-
marked that 1t was too damn bad he
was ever born at all" The governor
said he always enjoyed associating with
the old soldiers, because he could take
profit from their experiences. There is
the badge of the Legion of Honor of
France, the iron cross of Germany and
the badge of bravery of England, but
there is none that so moves every emo
ton as that little bronze button that
rises and falls with the heart beats of

They still remain in your throat OF

thru your own fault.
Had you kept abreast of the times
and read the opinion of the best lnedi-
cal authority in the land, published
regularly, you would have known that
coughs are caused by germs and that
all the stomach medicines in the world
can not reach them. If you had read
the United States health reports, and
looked up government statistics. as
every man and woman ought, you
would have known that there is but one
remedy which will destroy these germs,
and that this remedy has reduced the
death rate from such diseases "a per
cent during the past year. This is not

highest authorities in the land.
