600, according to his best iudg-

that 1t strengthens and regulates
your stomach so you. can eat your
favorite foods without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some

You feel different as soon as "Pape's
Diapepsin" comes in contact with the

belching, no eructations Of undigested
food, your head clears and you feel
fine.

the thought Is that IL Is the way

who have the little. None Of US can
predict with certainty the period Of

bill is about $500. .ood. 900.

SAYS POSTAL CLERKS
ARE DENIED HOLIDAY
Thomas Flaherty Criticises Depart
ment-Burleson to Reply Today.

That the Postoffice Department is
violating the law which guarantees
postofflce clerks and city carriers a
weekly day OF rest and imposing ex-
cessive overtime requirements upon
the clerks in the Washington ONCE,
was the statement made to the Sem
ate Postoffice Committee yesterday by
Thomas F. Flaherty, secretary of the
National Federation OF Postal EN-
ployes.
Right here in the Washington
office" said Mr.. Flaherty, distributors

Postmaster Chance has complained of
the large number OF designations from
the service of experienced men. Can
you blame them for resigning? Not
only must they work overtime, but
they are deprived Of their weekly day
Of rest in plain violation Of the statu-
tory law"
Mr.. Fiaherty asked the committee to
place an amendment in the postal ap-
preparation bill fixing a rate of time
and a half for overtime. He argued
also for an immediate wage increase
for postofflce clerks and city carriers
Of not less than 20 per cent.

Senator Cummins Declares
Appropriation Is 200
Million Above Mark.

The government intends to pay the

of Iowa, declared to his fellow
Senators yesterday.
And this assertion led to the dis
covery that the Senate OF the United
States was without a Bible.
THE first section of the railroad
bill has but one precedent in all

Return from Tournament

The members of the Boomers Ferry
high school basket ball team returned
Sunday from Moscow where they
took part in the first annual state
high school basketball tournament at
the Universitu of Idaho.
The local team played the first
game of the tournament on Thurs
day afternoon and lost to the Post
Falls team. The floOr of the uni
versity gymnasium is about four
times as large as the floor of the
local gymnasium and the home team
did remarkably we'll considering the
disadvantage at which it was placed.
Thomas Gleed, forward for the home
team was the star player of the
game.
The final game of the tournament
was played Friday night between the
Nez Perez and Moscow teams. The
Moscow team won.
Coach Dennam accompanied the
home team to Moscow but remained
in Spokane over Sunday to visit with
relatives.
The local boys speak very highly
of the good time shown them al
Moscow and the efforts made by the
university faculty and students tc
entertain them and make their stay
a pleasant one.

War Savings Stamps

Take the life experiences of 100
average American men at the age
of 25, healthy, vigorous, of good
mental and physical capacity, but
with no means except their own abil-
ity to support themselves, and follow
them through life.
After all have passed away you
will find that three only left estates
Of $4,000 each. Fifteen others from
$4,000 to $4,000 each, and the re-
naming 50 of every 100 who die
leave no income producing estate
The result is that out of every 100
widows only Is are left in good or
comfortable circumstances; AZ others
are obliged to go to work and often
lack the barest comforts of life, and
80 are left in absolute want and
must largely depend upon charity
to live.
This should not be in country as
prosperous as ours, and comes large
ly from our habit of spending for
non-essentials, as will be seen in a
few of our expenditures as a nation
in 1914: For tobacco $520,00O,000;
alcoholic beverages $1,720,00O, 900
candy $200,000,00O; picture shows
$450,000,000 jewelry $200,000,000;
millinery STA, 100000. 1t was large
ly in the hope of reducing or correct
ing some of these extravagant ex-
penditures for non-essentials, at least
during the period of the war, that in
duced the government to adopt the
War Savings Stamps plan.

SERGEANT FRIESE WRITES FROM LANGLEY FIELD, VA.

This week Mr.. and Mrs. o. S.
Davis received letter from John F.
Friese,- who is now a sergeant of a
company stationed at Langley Field,
Hampton, Va. Mr.. Friese was the
manual training teacher of the Bon
ners Ferry high school until he re
ceived his orders into active service
last December. Mr.. Friese writes in
part as follows:
NV dear Mr.. and Mrs. Davis:
| have been wanting to write you
a letter for several weeks but seem
to have been unable to get at it until
tonight.
You will recall that when l left
Boomers Ferry my destination was
Jacksonville, Florida. | eventually
reached the "sunny south" much to
my disgust. / was only in Camp
Johnston a month but in that time
we had no real weather, only sam
pies. The impression that is left
indelibly on my mind of my expert
ence there is the mess | was most
unfortunately assigned to. Most of
the companies were well taken care
of along that line but mine was an
exception and if anyone mu1mured
about it he got 3 days kitchen police.
| have always believed in the OAR
winian theory but | must modify it
a little now for / believe we are des-
cended from goats. Otherwise | can
not account for my stomach standing
the strain. And on top of it all to
date / have increased in weight about
10 pounds. / guess it is the regular
hours, fresh air, plenty of sleep and
