u. S. Bars Insurance
Competition in Mail
Packages Insured Otherwise Than
by Government viii Not
Be Accepted.

Outside competition in the postal
service was given a serious blow to-
day by the Government when a spe-
cial order was sent to all postmasters
barring matter that bears the mark
insured" from any but the parcel
post class, and in this the Govern
ment itself sells insurance.
According to Postmaster Mckee.
much trouble has been experienced
all over the country because outside
firms that have made a business Of
insuring persons against loss of val
uables in the mails have been stamp
ing packages Ensured"
A similar stamp is being used by
the POstofiice Department in the in
surance feature Of the parcel post
service. and much confusion has
arisen between the two classes Of
matter.
The order absolutely prohibits ac-
ceptance OF any mail matter for any
class but parcel post that bears the
word insured"

Governor Rules Experiment Sta
ton Board Member, English
Citizen Isn't Public Officer.

Governor Brown set at rest to-day
the doubt as to the eligibility Of DR..
Andrew NJ. Soule for membership on
the Board Of Directors Of the Georgia
Experiment Station.
The question arose from the fact
that DR.. Soule is not a citizen Of the
United States. a circumstance that
came to general knowledge to-day on
the publication of the news that he is
seeking citizenship in the Federal
courts.
The laws OF Georgia forbid any one
not citizen OF the State or of ;hs
United States holding a public office,
and by many it was REGARDED that the
members of the Board Of Directors
of the Experiment Station were pub
lie officers.
Expends State Funds.
The board is given authority to di-
rect for the State the expenditure Of
the annual government appropria-
ton that is made for the maintenance
Of the station. as well as to control
all Of the other receipts and disburse-
ments incidental TO the station.
The enactment establishing the
Experiment Station provided that the
Board Of Directors should be appoint
ed by the Governor. one member
from each Congressional district.
In addition. the Commissioner Of
Agriculture, the Chancellor Of the
University Of Georgia and a mem
Der Of the faculty Of the state Agri-
cultural College were to be members

DR.. Soule said to-day that he had
received his appointment from Gov
ernor Hoke Smith. it being customary
TO appoint the president of the college
as the member.

MOORE WANTS
 EXTRA SESSION
Believes Governor Hunt $ Legislature Should Be Called Together At Once to Adopt Measure Giving Relief for City Hall.

The possibility of an extraordinary session of Governor Hunts legislature being called within a short time was made known yesterday while Chief of Police A. J. Moore was surveying the mass of unclaimed bicycles stored in the basement of the city hall That an emergency measure should be passed making constitutional the adoption of an ordinance by Mayor Christy's leg islature authorizing the sale of un- claimed property recovered by the po- lice was the opinion of the executive of the city police department
 If I thought it would do any good. I would issue a call for a session of the state legislature and advocate the adoption of legislation which would open the way for me to dispose of the bicycles which have been accumuIat- ing for years and are likely to go right on accumulating indefinitely If some thing isn't done prontO we will have to build d bicycle storage addition to the city hall. Already the room devoted to the storage of stray wheels is filled to overflOwing and we have begun stack ing them up outside that room.
 When a policeman picks up a stray horse or burro, the animal is taken to corral, kept them for a few days. then advertised for five days and if not claimed within that time is sold at public auction. There is an ordinance permitting this to be done. But when it comes to wheels once they get in the clutches of the police there is no way tO get rid of them unless the owner appears and claims his property
 T put the matter up to the city council sometime ago and it was re- ferred to City Attorney Prescott for an opinion as to what relief could be offered. MT. Prescott said that there was no law permitting the city to au- thorize the sale of such property and said that it would require the passage of an act by the legislature before the city council could act. And all the time those wheels are piling up
 Some of the wheels I have stored in the basement of the city hall are about as good as new Others don't amount to much. Some have no tires, others are minus handle bars, while not a few are mere Wrecks. They would be ac- cepted as junk. But I've got to keep them in the hopes that in some sweet day bye and bye the owners will ap- pear. That's why I am for an extra ordinary sesion of the legislature.'

OSTEOPATHY AND DYSPEPSIA

If has only been within the last few years that people have come to the Knowledge that the way to help q man is to give him q chance to help himself. To give man money is to pauperize him; to give him a chance to earn money is to extend the needed help from the right point of the compass.
 Not only is this true of the man, but it is true of the indiv- idual parts of the man. I once knew of a professional beggar who carried a perfectly good arm in q sling until 1t became pale, shriveled up and was absolutely useless This is one of the laws Of Dame Nature (and there is no stay of proceedings" under the laws of this lady) that what sOever is not active, whatsoever is not being put to use. shall shrivel up and become useless. So it is with the stomach; there are certain parts of that organ which have as their duty the manufacture of pepsin So long as these cells are properly fed go long as the nerve and blood supply to them is perfect and so long as there is need for their product. these cells will supply pepsin To cause them to stop work to cause them to shriveI I'D. become pale and useless, the recipe is-take pepsin. Just ex- actly like the arm in the sling, if there is no need for work and there is none when pepsin is taken-the ability to do work is lost
 So long IS the body is physically perfect. so long as the nerve and blood supply are good, just that long will nature digest, absorb and distribute any reasonable amount of food that is put into the stomach. The osteopath looks after the blood and nerve supply
