SIDE LIGHTS IN
 POSTAL MEN

Washington, D. C., October 9l .-Thomas F. Flaherty, Secratary Of the National Federation of Post office Clerks, which is affiliated with the American Federation of La ,or, in a statement today de- clare ai Postmaster General Burle- sons claims that the Postoffice De- partment has instituted reforms beneficial to the postal employees lis not true.
 "Mr. Burleson in his report to the 64th Congress, after stating that the service was permanently sef-sustaining, asked Congress 10 nullify all of the employees princi- pal legislative reforms, declared Flaherty.
 "Our eight-hOur law, our week lv rest law, our salary classifica- ion law should have been nullified -iF Congress had hee9ed the Tecom- endations of the Postmaster Gener- al. He also asked that the rate of pay for substitute service be re dGced 7espite the fact that these men earn less than $40 per month.
 "DaElel c. Cooper, former First Assistant Postmaster General, and now one If the campaign managers for the Democratic party in New I ork, told the House PostOffice an Postroads Committee on December 8, 1913, that it cost the Depart ment $160,0OO to give the clerks O. the New York postoffice a weekly day of rest. Roper asked that the law beameneded to enable the De- partment to work all postoffice clerks through the winter months without any regular rest day.
 "In view of the eight-hour day Issue the recommendation of the Postmaster General in his report to Congress November 13, 1914, is significant. He asked Congress to alter our eight-hour law to make possible the spreading of the days work oYsr twelve hours.
 "At no time in the history of the service have the men in the Post office Deoartment been subject to such spreading, such harrassing and sucb petty interferences with their TigEts.
 "In the boasted postal surplus accumulated during the present ad- ministratIon will be found the mon- ey wrung from the aged mail col lectors who were denoted from $12O0 to 5000, old men who have given a life time to the service. There will also be found in that surplus the $3,2OO,OOO withheld from the pay of the rural carriers and which Congress ordered return ed to them.

And He Doesn't Build Nest, but Livsr
 In a Sand Tunnel.
 The belted kinglsher has a great taste for fish. Every day is Friday with him. because no matter how hun gry he gets, he will cat nothing except fish. Wherever there are creeks, riv. CTS, ponds or lakes the kinghshers are to be found.
 His principal business in life seems to be diving into the water for fish. From his perch on a dead branch or us he hOvers over the water this unusual bird spies a small fish. With swoop and a splash and a dive he goes into the water and is out as quickly with the fish firmly held in his stout beak, As he emergCs from the water quick shake of the body sends the water flying from his oily feathers. and he is dry in short order The fish is tossed into the air caught again in the beak and swallowed head first.
 Unlike most other birds, the king fisher dCCs not build his nest in trees, but seeks q sand bank, in which he digs q tunnel several feet straight in. At the far enI little room is hol- lowed out. and tLcrc on the sand the glossy egCs are bid.

A New Back for an Old One

The back aches at times with a dull, iEdescribable feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kidneys, and again the Joins are so lame that to stoop ls- agony. No use to rub or apply plaster to the back if the kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. Alaskan residents would do we'll to prof8t by the following example:
 Mrs. G. G. Fosdick, 6015 S. wIence St., Tacoma, w ash, says: My back was SO sore and painful that if l wanted to take up any ethiug from the floor, I had to get down on my knees. Thera was a lump about the size of a dollar over each of my kidneys and this made my back SO tender and sore that could hardly bear to have my clothes touch me. At night I could scarcely turn in bed and moruinss was so lame and sore that could hardly get around. These troubles were brought on by a cold setting in my kidneys. Deans Kid ne~ Pills cured me-" 1~

How the Artist Rl?heeI Settled His
 Bill at an Inn.

Bill at an Inn.
 Raphael the great Italian painter, whose celebrated Biblical pictures are worth fabulous sums of money, was not q rich man when young and en- countered some of the viciSsitudes of life like many another genius.
 Once when traveiing he put up at an inn and remained there. unable to get away through lack of funds to settle his bill. The lardlGrl grew suspicious that such was the ease, and his re- quests for Sc;tlCi..eIt grew more and more pressing. Finally young Raphael in desperation re5ortcd to the following device:
 He carefully painted upon table top in his room number of gold coins, and, placing the table in certain light that gave q startling effect, he packed his few belongings and summoned his host.
 "There." he exclaimed, with a lordly wave of his hand toward the table, "is enough to settle my bill and more. Now kindly show the way to the door,"
 The innkeeper, with many smiles and bows, ushered his guest out and then hastened back 10 gather up his gold His rage and coIsternation when he discovered the fraud knew no bounds until wealthy English trayeier, recog, nizing the value of the art put ill the work, gladly paid him $50 for the table.

has been brutal.
 At a time when the Department was seeking to reduce the wage scale of the substitute clerks and carriers. men whose earnings are woefully inadequate. Postmaster General BurIeson. asked the House Appropr aaons Committee to in- crease f Q salaries of his four as- sigtants om $5OO0 to $72OO.
 "The 'inistration's boast of an improl q service will not stand the test (. a close anaylsis. Be- cause of it's refusal to fill vacan- cies in the railway mail service the clerks ale overworked. The car rier force has not been recruited to an efficient working standard and in many cities deliveries have been curtaiIed.
 "In m st of the larger first-class postoffices the eight-hour day is misnomer; the employees are fore ed to toI ten and eleven hours to the impairment of their health. ~ "WhilA the administrators cam paigu figured and statistics may fool the unhnowing the men in the service arc too well acquainted with actual working conditions not to know that the claims of an improved service and an efficient administra- ton are not founded on facts"
 MT. Flaherty in a letter to Presi- dent Wilson on october 9th de- cIared that: "The responsible de- partment officials are seemingly irs- different to the plight of the clerks.
 "The rostal department officials have placed you in the unterable position of advocating a principle in private emyloyment-the eight-hour day-which is not in effect in gov eInment employment"
