DESERVE BETTER PAY

The overworked letter carriers and
postofflcc clerks will have to sigh
In vain for more money.
No more deserving class of men can
be found in the country.
More than that, because Of insufii.
cient funds the postal service is far
from being efficient.
More men and better paid men are
needed.
II necessary the rate of letter pos.
tage should be raised.
No one complained when the letter
postage was raised from 2 cents to
3 cents for letters outside the city.
This temporary raise Melted Uncle
Sam $149,O0O,0OO in one year.
No one was pleased when the rate
was reduced to cents.

are to have their work increased be.

Discrimination.

Home owners and owners of realty
outside of the loop are loud in their
protest against what they consider un.

They are raised over 81 per cent
on their valuation while the loop dis.

NEED HOUSE NUMBERS
Over Half the Residences, Stores,
Apartment Buildings and Other
Structures in Chicago Are
Without Them.

The casual observer cannot fail to
notice that one Of the crying needs
OF Chicago is street numbers on the
buildings.
Since the passage OF the new street
car ordinance. which provides for
the stopping Of the cars at even
numbered corners only, the absence
OF the numbers Is painfully notice
able, and much annoyance is felt In
consequence.
Letter carriers and others who have
long suffered from this fragrant dis
regard Of the law requiring numbers
on every house, have grown tired Of
uttering complaints. No attention
was paid to them.
Whole blocks all over Chicago are
without numbers, and no one in au.
thority appears to care about the
fact.
The mention Of Alderman William
r. Fetzer for higher honors has
started boom for that popular man.
His thousands Of friends would like
to see him elected States Attorney.

EXERCISE MAY BE OVERCOME
Natures Signals to Desist Should Be
Needed by Those Who Would
Preserve Health.

Pursued ostensibly to promote per-
sonal welfare, physical exercise is not
infrequently carried to point Of over
doing, which results in injury rather
than benefit" says the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
Commenting on some observations
made on ayiators, it says the test Of
the value Of an exercise lies IN the
physiological adjustments that it in
duces IF the heart reduces lis rate
Of heating and Is less sensitive 10 eXer-
else. the training is commendabe.
Trimming should make the heart and
other muscles better and endure fa-
tiguing exercises better than the I'M
trained heart does. Consequently, if
the heart reacts excessively as re-
suit of work; If there is a rapid rise
in pulse rate, which returns to its nor
mai only after long interval, the
fundamental aim of exercise for health
has not been accomplished. The symp-
toms of an overworked mechanism are
ut hand. However advantageous Wig
orous training may be in the great ma
lority Of cases, failure to adjust to
