POSTAL EMPLOYEES
HANDLE WORK WELL
First Day in Federal Building Hard One
Some Have Not Yet Learned of
Removal Of Office.

Several conditions combined to make
the first day in the new federal build
ing an unusually hard one for the
postoffice employees, but they finished
last evening with every piece of mail
received during the day and all mail
was despatched by the carriers at the
usual times.
1t was natural that the matter of
distribution in new quarters should be
slower than in the past. The clerks
were obliged to learn everything all
over again and the only opportunity
they had to accustom themselves to the
changed conditions was few hours
Sunday.
Monday is always big day with the
postotfice for there is the accumulation
of mail of two days instead of only
the carriers.
Added to this normally large mai
were the postcards issued by the no
license committee of the town, which
meant call by every carrier at prac
tically every house on his route. The
storm made the walking hard and slow
but in spite of these handicaps by
means of extra work on the part of al
concerned the business was cleaned III
for the day and Postmaster NJ. J. Nor
an had nothing but praise for all con
nected with the local postal service
In spite of all the publicity that ha'
been given about the removal of tht

yet know that it has been moved 4

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take tablespoonful of Salts if Back

forms uric acid

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
well-known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like

table, obhging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleep
lessness, acid stomach or rheumatism
in bad weather, get from your pharma
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning and in
a few days your kidneys will act fine
/ This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for gen
erations to flush and stimulate cloggeC
kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine
so il is no longer source of irritation
