STAND EXAMINATION
POstmasters Of Fourth Class
Must Be Examined

After conference with Presi-
dent Wilson, Postmaster General
Burleson has announced that an
executive order would be issued
requiring that all fourth-class post
masters now in office, or candidates
for prospective appointments,
should be subjected to competitive
examination, to determine their
fitness for the office.
This will give those out of Of
fee chance with those in Office,
and is a partial modification Of the
Taft ruling putting these Offices
under civil service. This ruling
Of Burleson will be sad news to
the long list of republicans holding
these offices. They, Of course,
will have a chance to hold on but
he must first show himself more
fit for the office than any of those
on the outsideseeking deposition.
Fourth-class postmasters must
be able to read, to count accurate
ly the money they receive, to
measure the oilcloth on the floors
of their Offices, and to write at
least a decipherable letter once in
a while, if they are taken under
the wing of the civil service. In
effect they must have reasonable
understanding Of "readin', ritin'
and 'rithmetic," according to reg
ulations issued by the postoffice
department.
Persons to take the civil service
examination must be a citizen of
the United States over 81 years
old and must reside in the COM
munity served by the Office he as
pires to fill. No one will be eligi-
bic who is crazy, an ex-convict
who has been dishonorably dis
charged from the army or navy,
or who is disposed, even OCCASION
ally, to reduce the visible supply
of strong drink.
All examinations will be con-
Quoted by the civil service COM
mission and will be not for APP
pointment generally, but for a
particular Office. The eligibility
for appointment after examination
will be for one year only, except
in special instances. The exami-
nations will not be severe, but will
be sufficient to test the business
capacity Of the applicant.

AS TO FAVOUR.
Found Her Favorite AGAIN.

A bright young lady tells how she
came to be acutely sensitive as to the
taste of coffee:
My health had been very poor for
several years." she says. 81 loved
coffee and drank it for breakfast. but
only learned by accident, as it we're,
that 1t was the cause of the constant.
dreadful headaches from which I suf-
fered every day, and of the nervous
ness that drove sleep from my pillow
and so deranged my stomach that
everything l ate gave me acute pain.
Tea is just as injurious, because it
contains caffeine, the same drug found
in coffee.)
My condition finally got so serious
that | was advised by my doctor to 20
to a hospital. There they gave me
what | supposed was coffee, and l
thought it was the best l ever drank.
but l have since learned 1t was
Postum. l gained rapidly and came
home in four weeks.
Somehow the coffee we used at
home didn't taste right when 1 got
back | tried various kinds, but none
tasted as good as that / drank in the
hospital, and all brought back the
dreadful headaches and the 'sick-all-
over feeling.
one day | got package of Postum,
and the first taste of 1t l took, l
said that's the good coffee we had in
the hospital l have drank it ever
since, and eat Grape-Nuts for my

Postum now comes in concentrated

1t is prepared by stirring a level tea
spoonful in cup of hot water. adding
sugar to taste, and enough cream to
bring the color to golden brown.

The warm sympathy OF the whole

terrible bereavement. She left Eng.

the heartbreaking news OF the calam.

The news of SCOTS death only
reached his relatives through the
newspapers. Lady Ellison Mccartney
the explorers sister was the first TO
learn of his fate and she telephoned
the news to Mrs. Scott, Captain
SCOTS aged mother. at Henley. Mrs
Scott had not felt any apprehension
for the fate of her son, but bore up
very bravely.

created a great sensation. The first
