HOW FRENCH PEOPLE
CURE STOMACH TROUBLE

A household remedy of the French
peasantry, consisting of pure vegetable
oil, and said to possess wonderful
merit in the treatment of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles, has been
introduced in this country by George
H. Mayr, who for twenty years has
been one of the leading downtown
druggists of Chicago and who himself
was cured by its use. So quick and
effective is its action that single
dose is usually enough to bring pro-
nounced relief in the most stubborn
cases, and many people who have tried
it declare they never heard of any
thing to produce such remarkable re-
suits in so short time. 1t is known
as Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and can
now be had at all leading drug stores.
1t is sold with the positive understand
ing that your money will be refunded
without question or bubble If ONE
bottle fails to give you absolute salts

Advertising In BeIoJum.

Poster advertising on boardings in
England are often bad enough, and the
boards stuck up In fields by our rail-
way lines are an abomination. But
the apotheosis Of the blatant in adver-
tisement is surely to be found in Bel.
GUM. Practically the end of every
house within view of the line at sta
tions between. say, Antwerp and Ma.
mur. and even on as far as Luxem.
burg. Is plastered over with lettering
In the vilest coloSs. Personally. | would
never touch the thing advertised in
this abominable way. but one can i'm
agine ones self going into a cafe and
the subconscious memory sending to
the lips the name of some insistent
Schiedam or liqueur. Belgium is Ger.
tainly the most industrial country in
Europe and the most advertising. One
mas the feeling that the entire nation
is run as commercial concern.

American Medal Of Honor.

Americans of average information
know about the Victoria cross, the
Iron cross, the Cross OF the Legion OF
Honor. These are rewards of heroism
which would mark a man above his
fellows even in this foreign land.
But how many Americans know
what medal of honor is?
How many Americans know that
the modest American soldiers who
wear the medal of honor wear dec
Grafton that is among the rarest and
most difficult to win among military
honors?
The Cross Of the Legion OF Honor.
established by Napoleon in 1902, and
while founded to signalize deeds of
special daring in war, was after given
freely for civil distinction. Nearly
forty thousand German soldiers were
decorated with the Iron cross In the
seven months of the Franco-Prussian
war, while In the more than half oen.
tury since the creation Of our honor
roll only 3.Os8 have been granted, in.
cluding Civil war grants, and of these
nearly nine hundred were given under
a mistaken reading OF the law.
The holder OF the medal of honor
must have distinguished himself con.
spicuously by gallantry and intrepid.
ity, at the risk OF his life, beyond the
call OF duty. This standard. which
bars out action, however brave, in the
course Of duty, and includes only acts
OF daring which man might refuse
or avoid without rebuke, is said to
be unequaled.

These are big figures for big
business, and while they are grow
ing bigger every year, no one COM
plains. l expect to live to see the
annual appropriations for the post
Office department exceed billion
dollars.
Then we will have what Con-
gressman "Davy" Lewis has 30
graphically described as five
fingered" postoffice-a department
which will carry the mails, look
after the parcel post, conduct
vast system of savings banks and
manage the telegraph and tele-
phone lines of the nation-all under
one roof, Europe is doing just
that, and we can do what Europe
has done.
Before we tackle the job, how
ever, we must eliminate every sug-
gestion of politics from the post
office. All postmasters should be
under the merit system, and it
should be possible for young men
to find satisfactory career in the
postal service. Much has been ac-
complished along these lines, but
much remains to be done.

Washington, D. C.-For the first
time in seventy eight years the
postal establishment has paid into
the treasury of the United States
funds to be used for general pur-
poses. Putting the proposition in
different language, for the first
time in three quarters of a century
Uncle Sam is making money out
of his postoffioe. He received a
very tidy dividend last year-about
$3, OO,0OO-and Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson says that is only a
beginning.
The wiping out of the postal de-
ticit is one of the substantial
achievements of the Wilson ad-
ministration. In 1909, under the
Taft regime, congress had to ap-
propriate almost $2O,OOO,OOO to
make good the deficiency for that
year.
The marvellous development. of
the parcel post under Democratic
direction is largely responsible for
the prosperity of the postal service.
AS an example of this growth, the
postmaster general points out that
at the fifty leading postoffioes of
the country the number of pack
ages handled in the first fifteen
days of April, 1914, showed an in
crease of l46 per cent over the
number handled in the first fifteen
days of October, 1918.
And yet the parcel post is in the
infancy of its development. When
the railroads are compelled to give
it the same treatment they accord
the express companies it will pro-
duce profit of 100000 year,
in addition to cutting rates in two
and materially increasing efficiency
of service.
Largest Appropriation Bill
The postotfioe appropriation bill
is one of the most interesting
measures brought before congress,
and always provokes extended dis
cussion. 1t is the largest of the
appropriation bills. This year it
provided for expenditures approx
mating $30O,OOO,OOO. Ten years
ago the department got along on
$150,OOO,OOO. Twenty years ago
its outlay totaled $s3, 100000. Ru-
raj free delivery and parcel post
are responsible for a large part Of
the increase.
The American people insist that
their mail must follow them, even
when they move out on the desert
or ascend to the submits of snow
capped peaks, and the government
bows to public opinion, frequently
spending dollar to deliver letter
bearing two-cent stamp.
A few years ago congress appro-
priated $4,000 for rural free de-
livery. This year the appropria.
tions for carriers on star and rural
routes total $641 100000.
The railroads receive about $780,
100000 for transporting the mails.

UNCLE SANS P0STOFFlCE
DEPARTMENT MAKING MONEY
By Congressman Edward keatins

They are always complaining, but
it can be demonstrated that they
make more money out of carrying
the mails than they do out of their
passenger business. The fact is,
the railroads are whining not 30
much because of the damage they
are sustaining, but because their
friends, the express companies, are
being put out of business.
The Monte Vista journal., 1915-01-23
Some Big Pay Rolls

Some conception of the size of
the postoffice department may be
secured from an examination of
the various items which make up
the annual appropriation bill.
Uncle Sam pays his postmasters
$50, 10000 year. The clerks and
other employees in the Offices draw
down $4S $4,000 and the carriers
who deliver the mail in the cities
and towns receive $42,O00,0OO.
The messengers who see that
you get your special delivery let
ters have a salary allowance of
81, ,225 600, and the letter carriers
are given horse hire appropria-
ton of s2,30O,OOO.
Rent, light and fuel cost S., AGO.
600, and $4,000 is expended in
printing postage stamps, 1886, 900
for postal cards and Sl,650,OOO for
stamped envelopes.

being put out of business.
Our Postal Army
A mighty army is required to
conduct the postoffice department,
and in the main it is hard work
ing, intelligent and rather poorly
paid army.
The postmaster general gets $l2,
600 year. The president of an
express company would sniff at
that salary.
The men who manage the parcel
post receive $3 900 to S., 900 year.
They are all worth three or four
times those sums.
Men must be great executives in
order to properly conduct the post
Offices in our large cities. They
receive from 5000 to $4,000 a
year-fair salaries but their as
sistants, all experts in their re
spective lines, get from $1,000 to
SO, 800. These salaries seem small
when compared with the salaries
received from private employers
by men of equal capacity and who
assume equal responsibilities.
There is a general impression
that the postmasters in the smaller
Offices have soft snaps AS a
rule that is not true, and an inves-
tigation in any typical town will
show that the postotfice is as eco
nomically and efficiently managed
as are the express, telephone, rail-
road and other public utility offices
in the same town.
