CONGRESSMAN MUDD
IN ROLE OF REFORNER
Thinks Rural Free Delivery Car
rierS Ought to Eschew Politics.

II all Congressional districts were
like mine there wouldn't be so much ru-
raj delivery and the Postofice Depart
ment wouldn't have had a Machen." !"
Representative Sydney l. Mudd remarked
yesterday, after calling on Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow and other
officials in the Postofice Department.
Down In my district the men want to
go to the postofIlce so they can see their
neighbors and have a little visit Con-
sequently we are not worrying over the
report that the department is about to
lop off some of the routes which Macben
and other officials created for political
reasons rather than because the mail
business justified their creation
Rural free delivery never struck me
as a good political proposition. POST
masters are always friends of Congress
men. Every rural route cuts of several
postmasters and gives jobs to mail car
riers. who Immediately go under civil
service rules. Then as soon as they get
where they are safe they begin to knock
the Congressman who got them their
jobs.
The ingratitude which can be dis
played by rural free delivery carriers Is
amazing Just as soon as they get be-
hind the civil service wall they seem 10
think II is their duty to do everything
in their power TO injure the man who got
them their jobs. There ought to be some
law which would make 1t possible to re-
move carriers who spend half of their
Carriers are not supposed to be in poll
tics, and they certainly should not be
permitted TO use the Government mail
routes as a means of fighting man who
has no opportunity to strike back"

TYPEWRITING COMPANIES

The scheme charged against these
companies was extremely aged, and has
been stopped time and again by the de-
partment. The companies advertised
that they would pay 500 or s25 per
thousand for letters written at home.
An answer to the advertisement was
met Sith request for $3.50 as payment
for the material.
When the $3.50 was sent the sender

"SUMMER FOOD"
Has Other Advantages.

Many people have tried the food
GrapeNuts simply with the idea Of
avoiding the trouble OF cooking food in
the hot months.
All Of these have found something
besides the ready cooked food idea. for
Grape Nuts is a scientific food that
tones up and restored a sick stomach
as we'll as repairs the waste tissue in
brain and nerve centers.
For two years I had been a sufferer
from catarrh OF the stomach due TO i'm
proper food and TO relieve this condition
had tried nearly every prepared food
on the market without any success un-
til six months ago my wife purchased
box OF Grape Nuts. thinking IL would
be a desirable cereal for the summer
months.
I'VE soon made a discovery. we were
enchanted with the delightful flavor of
the food. and 20 NV surprise l began TO
get we'll. My breakfast now consists OF
little fruit. four teaspoonfuls os
Crane Nuts. a cup of Postum. which |
prefer TO coffee; graham bread or toast
and two boiled eggs. I never suffer
the least distress after eating this. and
my stomach is perfect and genera
health fine. Grape-Nuts Is a wonderful
preparation. II was only a little time
after starting on IL that wife and I botf
felt younger. more vigorous. aud in all
ways stronger. This has been our ex-
perience.
