WASHINGTON, Feb 19.-The pro-
posed amendment revoking Postmas-
ter General Burleson's power to fix

post, as "joker' was analysed for

change. Kenyon is vigorously op-
posed.
eve are now reported to be losing
100000 a year on second class
matter, and would not be at all sur
lprised If we are losing that amount
on the parcel post, too" said Senator
Bristow
There are no distinctive stamps
any more SO that 1t is impossible to
tell accurately what we are losing.
What hope to gain Is that by keep
| ing the rate at the same place for
short time we may be able to get some
idea as to whether we are losing and
how much. Then we would know how
to act with intelligence. Besides sta
bility in freight and express rates is
an important matter to the industry
OF the country.
1 las matter of fact the Interstate
commerce commission Is no check on
the postmaster general at all on the
matter of parcel post rates. I am told
that the commissioners being busy and
regarding the parcel post as an ad-
ministration matter, merely o. X. any
proposals Burleson makes"
1T is unreasonable to assume that
the parcel post is losing money"
said Senator Kenyon Look at the
money the express companies make
out OF a like business. am Informed
that Burleson, the best man to Judge,
thinks the postoflce department is
making little money out OF the par
Gel post, but at any rate the country
wants to try out the system thoroughly
without handicapping the postmaster
general by any such proposal as for
congress to determine thu rates. What
does congress know ABOUT fixing
rates? The best authorities on that
would be the postmaster general and

The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con.
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
it Is important that the condition
