SAYS TRACK ISN'T LAID RIGHT.
East Side Resident Complains About
City Railway.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
1t is shame the way the city rail-
way is relaying their track on East
Sixth avenue.
The taxpayers called a meeting some
time back, and invited the officials of
the road to be present, and at that
meeting the officials pledged to the tax
payers that they would replace the
track in better shape than it was be-
fore" But according to my idea they
failed to comply with their agreement.
Especially the west approach to the
East Sixth avenue bridge where they
have filled their track above the grade
with crushed rock, making it almost
impossible for teams to approach west
end of bridge.
L think it is a matter our city officials
should look into at once, as it is a
shame and disgrace to the public at
large as well as the taxpayers and resi-

made by members of the association
to embarraSS Representative Over
street, of Indiana, chairman of the
postoffice and post roads committee of
the house, because, it is alleged he
had not done for the rural carriers
what they thought he ought to have
done. President Cunningham, of the
association, is said to have been one
of those who made demands upon can
didates for congress-, of course, on be-
half of the members of the aSSocia-
ton. The complaints filed with the
president and postmaster general
mentioned President Cunningham as
one of those responsible for the at
tempted hold up" as it was termed
by the victims.
By direction of the president an in
veStigation of the matter was insti-
tuted by the postmaster general.
If the charges are maintained as
now is expected there probably will
be a general overhauling of the rural
free delivery carrier service.

The important thing to a man with a

a nervous, broken-down system, is to
get well. The next most important
thing is that the medicine be pure,
that it contain no opium or narcotics
of any kind, that people with delicate

what do you care about who made it,
