NO MAN is STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatost athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength Is derived from food II
man has insufficient food he loses strength.
II he has no food he dies. Food is con
verted into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on the
strength OF the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assmiated.
People can die OF starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach Is really the vital or
gan OF the body. II the stomach Is weak
the body will be weak also, because IL Is
upon the stomach the body relies for its
strength. And as the body, considered as
q whole, Is made up OF its several mem
bers and organs. so the weakness OF the
body as q consequence Of weak stOm-
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. If the
body Ia weak because II Is ill-nouriShed
that physical weakness will be found IN

The liver will be torpid and inactive

New System to be Adopted in Postal
Service. Will be Replaced by Rec
ords of Efficiency to be Put in OPP
GRAFTON Soon.

Filming employees as means of en-
forcing discipline in the postal SER
vice, system that has been in OPP
Grafton for many years is to be abol-
ished. First Assistant Postmaster
General Hitchcock, who has jurisdic-
ton over all postoffice employees, af-
ter years observation of this
means of discipline has reached the
conclusion that it is detrimental ra-
ther than helpful. He proposes to es-
tablish in its place uniform system
of efficiency records which will be
put into operation as soon as perfect
ed. To that end he has started AS
sistant Superintendent John Holmes
of his bureau on a tour Of inspection
of the largest postofices Of the Unit
ed States. DR.. Holmes will consult
with the postmasters and their assis-
tants regarding the introduction of
the proposed change. The existing
practice of subjecting $4,000 or more
employees to the liability Of being
fined for making errors in handling
mail or for misconduct is believed by
Mr.. Hitchcock to be type of punish
ment rightly termed humiliating and
degrading and which should not be
imposed on men and women. As
there is no definite schedules of
fines applicable to specific eases of
dereliction it is solely a matter of
discretion on the part of the admin
istrative officers. A wide variation
inevitably occurred in the relative
amount of fines imposed by different
officers. The system frequently led
to resentment on the part of employees
receiving the heaviest fines.
In criticism of the system Mr..
Hitchcock said that in the absence Of
an efficiency record that enables the
clerk to receive full credit for the
amount and character of work done,
the plan of fning for errors is like
ly to discourage rapid work because
Of the increased liability of mistakes
Under Mr.. Hitchcock's IS new plan,
which will be used as basis for all
increases and reductions in salary,
employees will be given to understand
that when ther become generally
careless or inefficient a reduction In
salary will follow. The periodical
promotions that are made at the be-
ginning of each fiscal year will go
only to employees who merit advance
ment on their efficiency records. The
amount Of reduction in the salary of
an inefficient or delinquent clerk will
not be lost to the department, as in
the case of fines, but will be utilized
in the promotion of the most deserv-
ing.

Petition is Granted.

The Mississippi Railroad Commis-
sion granted the petition of the citi-
zens of Columbia asking hat the New
Orleans Great Northern Railroad Co.,
otherwise known as the Goodyear line,
be required to build its road via that
place.
The petition was based on the asser-
ton that the New Orleans and Grea,
Northern is seeking to avoid the con-
stltutional section requiring that no
railroad shall be built within five
miles OF a county seat without build
ing line threto, unless prevented by
natural obstacles. The officers of the
GOodyear system contend that Pearl
river Is natural obstacle to building
a line into Columbia; that 4ley have
surveyed an air line from Sl1dell, La.
to jackson, Miss, following the west
ern bank Of Pearl river, and that the
section of the constitution in question
should not be So construed as to COM
pei railroad to bridge large stream
