policy of retaining these postmasters in
the service regardless of when their
commissions were issued should be put
to the test this year. The fact that
members of congress would soon be
raising the question whether fourth class
should make way for men who did party
service in the last campaign led the
president to instruct Postmaster Gen
eral Cortelyou to enforce the two-year
policy Of the department rigidly.
Cortelyou's Policy.
There will be no removals at the ex-
pirati0n OF four years servlce-that is,
there will be no removals merely be-
cause the postmaster has served four
years or any other number of years.
The four-year term for fourth class
postmasters has always been something
which members of congress have con
strued into a reality. The fourth class
postmaster is not appointed for any
definite term, So far as his appointment
as rural mail carriers, railway mail
as rural-mail carriers, railway mail
clerks, city carriers and clerks in city
postoffices. 1t is the president s idea,
and the postmaster general is in hearty
accord that there is no more reason
why a fourthclass postmaster should
be let out Of the service at the end Of
given number of years, than there is
for discharging the rural carrier, the
railway mail clerk, the city carrier or
the clerk in the city postoffce at the
expiration of four years service or
eight years service.
The congressman will not be shut
out altogether. About one seventh of
the fourth class postmasters resign an

Presidential Postmasters.
The department would like to put the
| presidential postmasters on the same
basis as the fourth-class postmasters-
It would like to be able to say that
| they shall be continued in office dur.
ing good behavior and as long as first
class service is rendered-but it has an
altogether different situation to deal
with when it comes to them.
Presidential postmasters are appoint

by the senate. The commission dates

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.
Dyspepsia Readily Yields to Myers
Pa-paY-a Tablets.

It may not be generally known among
those suffering from stomach troubles
that the stomach may be in one Of three
conditions-acid, alkaline or medium
condition. Dyspepsia Tablets fail to
cure so many people because dyspepsia
tablets are made from hog pepsin, and
hog pepsin will not act in an alkaline
or medium condition of the stomach.
Myers Pa-paya Tablets are purely
vegetable and will act perfectly in any
condition Of the stomach.
If you have been suffering from any
form of stomach trouble, do not fail
to get box of these tablets at once
and begin treatment. We will refund
your money if they fail to cure.
Myers Pa-paya Tablets are. a posi-
tive cure for Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Constipation, Bad Breath Heart Burn,
Gas on the Stomach, Palpitation and all
other diseases arising from disordered
stomach. They are 80 pleasant to take
and SO quick in their action that they
especially recommend themselves !. to
hearty eaters who are troubled with
Indigestion.
