WASHINGTON, d. G., March Sly
senator Shields has been made the OBJ
1ect OF what his friends deemed a very
UNJUST attack by persons and interests
in Nashville opposed to the recent APP
polntment of Charles NJ. McCabe as
postmaster in that city. Thus far Sen
ator Shields has declined to make any
reply to these attacks and he still adj
l heres 10 his determination not to dig
Pnlty the complaints by any direct an
swer. Friends Of his, however, cognA'
zant with all the facts feel that in JUS
uce to the senator there should be a
statement covering the facts Cd the
McCabe case so as to correct any mis-
apprehension which might have results
ed These facts, as borne out by let
tiers, kilograms and other documentary
evidence, are as follows;
More than year ago the postmaster-j
general determined not to recommend
Mr. Eugene shannon, the then incum-
bent, for reappointment to the office
of postmaster at Nashville, and this was
well understood at Nashville and many
good men considered applying, and die
apply for the position,
The applications begun to be made
about last May and an examination of
the several applicants by the civil SER
vice commission was ordered by the
postmaster general under an executive
order made by the president. for his
convenience.
Fourteen applicants. including four
ex-service men, submitted their claims
and took the examination in August,
1919.
In pursuance of the usual practice I'M
such cases, two postoffice inspectors
were sent to Nashville to obtain further
information in regard to the character
and qualifications of the several appli-
cants, TO DE considered along with their
examinations.
Three Upon Eligible List.
Upon all the evidence thus obtained,
the civil service commission proceeded
to grade the several applicants, and
found only three of them to come with
in the requirements and entitled to 60
upon the eligible list, to be certified to
the postmaster general.
Charles NJ McCabe received the high
est grade, John F. House the present
assistant postmaster, the second grade,
and Felix z. Wilson. the third grade.
Mr.. McCabe would then have re-
.ceived the nomination, it is said, but
Aomeone, it is understood for political
sSeasons, filed charges against him
Which, after full examination, were
found to be groundless, and dismissed

and total distance of over 2,000 miles over the other, consuming from twen- ty thirty days, while the distance over the auto stage line is 300 miles and the time consumed in making the trip is about two days.
 "In view of the facts furnished, con- petition is not deemed to exist in con- temptation of the law and regulations, on account of the great difference in the distance which is travelled over the rail and water routes and the auto stage line, and in the time consumed in making the trip.
 Tt is, therefore, held that the trans portation services rendered by the op- orators of the auto stage lines in ques- tion, in transporting persons between Fairbanks and Chitina, under the facts stated, are not subject to the tax inn posed by section 500 of the revenue act of 1918."

NO WAR TAX IMPOSED UPON
 TRAIL TRAVEL

After two years fight to get the war tax on transportation over the trail set aside, Manager Tom Gibson of the Gibson auto line, has received work that he has succeeded in his undertaking, and that there will be no more war tax paid by passengers going over the Chitina trail by auto.
 The law states that per cent of the rate charged the passengers by the stage line shall be added as a war tax, but the law also says that tax shall be levied on any form of me- chanical power on a regular estab- 1ished line when in competition with carriers by rail or water. MT Gibson held that such competition did not exist when his stage line carried pas sengers to and from Chitina, and has been carrying on a correspondence with the national revenue department ever since the law was put in force to try to have it repealed so far as it applied to trail auto transportation. The following letter received from the department by Mr. Gibson shows how he finally was successful:
 Relative to the application of the tax imposed by section 500 of the rev. enue act of 1918, the amounts paid for transportation services rendered by the Gibson auto line in carrying pas sengers by automobile stage lines be- tween Fairbanks and Chitina, Alaska, a distance of about 300 miles.
 The tax imposed by section 500, subdivision (c), of the revenue act of 1918, on motor transportation, is on the amount paid for transportation by motor power on a regularly established line when in competition with carriers by rail or water.
 Under the facts presented, it ap- pears that the only rail and water transportation furnished between Fair banks and Chitina are two indirect and roundabout routes of total dis tance of over 5000 miles over the one, consuming from thirty to forty days j;

A TIP TO EMPLOYERS.

A large number of businesses fail
Lot because of the lack of brains or
capital Of the employer. but because
he puts too high value upon his CAP
ital and too low a value upon his en-
rloyes.
It's tho employees that make every
business successful.
OF course they must have guidance
and leadership. hut not foolish domin-
ance. From the office boy up, every
employee is a possible employer.
Leave your employees alone as much
az possible. Trust them.. Give them
reigns. If they make blunders, do not
discharge them, but teach them. Every
time a blunder is made by anyone, it
acts as a lesson in betterment.
Enlist the Intelligence of those
whom you employ in the service of
your business. 1t means a great deal
to them, because it is as much proper
tionately to them as to you.
Many a merchant prince is running
errands today.
Teach every one of your helpers to
! cooperate. It is the law of business
success. Every business is an individ-
ual machine and each worker vital
and necessary part. And no machine
should ever be driven-it should be
handled, and that with care and con-
sideration.
Listen to the suggestions of. those
who work in your organization. %Adapt
them-and remember to give full
credit.
We all work for a certain kind of
fine compersation-and that mostly
packed into the word appreciation"
1t is not for money alone-or even
foremost-that we strive, but for the
simple thing of adequate service to the
height of our ability.
Your employees are each one Of
you,

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Neutraize irritating
Acids

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid. says a noted authority
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder
where it often remains to irritate and
lnflame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation. or setting up an irritation at
the neck of the bladder, obliging you to
seek relief two or three times during
the night. The sufferer is in constant
dread, the water passes sometimes
with a scalding sensation and is very
prOfuse; again, there is difficulty in
avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
| bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
splendid for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here YOU have a pleasant, efferves.

Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises
Tells Safe, Simple Way to Treat and
Relieve at Home

If you have catarrh. catarrhal deaf
ness or head noises caused by catarrh,
or if phlegm drops in your throat and
has caused catarrh of the stomach or
bowels, you will be glad to know that
these distressing symptoms may be
entirely overcome in many instances
by the following treatment which you
can easily prepare at your own home
at little cost. Secure from your drug
gist l ounce Of Parmint Double
Strength. Take this home and add
to it Il pint of hot water and add a
little granulated sugar; stir until dis
solved. Take one tablespoonful four
times day. An improvement is some
times noted after the first days treat
ment. Breathing should become easy,
while the distressing head noises,
headaches, dullness, cloudy thinking,
etc, should gradually disappear under
the tonic action of the treatment. Loss
of smell taste. defective hearing and
mucus dropping in the back of the
throat are other symptoms which sug-
gest the presence of catarrh which
may often be overcome by this eff
caciouS treatment. 1t is said that
nearly ninety per cent of all ear

fields will be required to satisfy the hunger of
millions.
If the war taught us the value of home gar
dens, the reconstruction period, with its high
prices here and it's starvation abroad, Imperative
ly drives home the lesson of cultivatng them
anew. The home garden is not whm silly
notion, Pigment of the fancy, the outcrop of a
theorists foolish falacy, but practical and
sensible way to produce foodstuffs to offset
want. The war gardens saved the nation thous-
ands of dollars. The gardens of the reconstruc-
ton period will be equally as valuable and equally
as potent in diminishing the demand for food.
The world is crying for bread to eat. If the home
gardens keep thousands out of the market, the
surplus will tend to lower prices and create the
surplus which will feed the thousands who have
been unable to grow crops.
Richmond held enviable position a few
years ago for its record as city of home gar
dens. Few, if any city in the United States, could
boast so many gardens in comparison with it's
population and the number of it's school children.
This record can be approached this year, if
the thrifty family head cultivates his back yard
and a vacant lot Every idle spot in Richmond
should be made to produce If the world needs
accelerated production, Richmond may do it's
share in small way by putting in gardens by
the hundreds. War gardens, responding to in
te]ligent cultivation, carefully cared for during
the summer months, will be commendable res
ponse to the demand for production.
