WINE AND BEER
 ISSUE BEFORE
 LEGION SESSION

New Orleans, Oct. Il (By tne A. P.)-Light wine and beer will in all probability be made an issue be- fore the fourth national convention of the American Legion. which opens here Oct. 16, and continues until the doth. This information came today from sources in close touch with the convention plans.
 National officials Of the Legion, here in advance of the convention, expressed doubt as to whether the light wine and beer issue would reach the floor of the convention, declaring 1t to be their opinion that any resolu- tion on the subject would not go further than the resolutions commit tee. Delegates already here, however, were inclined to think that the pos sibility of a resolution on the subject being brought before the convention was more favorable than 1t had been at any previous convention.
 It is conceded generally that po- 1itical issues will be made sharper at this convention than at any previous session.
 Criticism of Brig. c. E. Sawyer. personal physician to the President, and acting as co-ordinator of the ac- tivities of the Veterans Bureau Tn us disqualification work for tie benefit of wounded veterans, is generally ex- pected. Gen. Sawyer's attitude has been sharply criticised by national of- ficials of the Legion.

IF KIDNEYS ACT,
 BAD TAKE SALTS

When you wake up with backa che and dull misery in the kidney region 1t may mean you have been eating too much meat, says well-known au- thority. An excess of meat may form uric acid, which overworks the kid neys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kid neys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them like you relieve your bowels, removing all the bodys urin- ous waste, else you have backache sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine Is cloudy, full of sediment, channels off, ten get sore, water sca1ds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable phy- s1clan at once or get from your phar- mac1st about four ounces of lad Salt; take tablespoonful in a glass of wa ter before breakfast for few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This fam ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with Ethia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irri- tates, thus often. ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in jure and makes a delightful, efferves- cent 1ithia water drink. Drink lots of soft water.-Adv.

IRELAND CHAMPION
 RUM0R. DISPENSER
Helsingfors Losing Ground As Foremost Factory of Baseless Reports.
BY DANIEL O'CONNELL. International News Service Staff
 COrreSpOndent

Correspondent.
 Dublin, Oct. 11.-Helsingfors has tory ever since Russia revolted Now Dublin bids fair to displace Helsing- fors and garner the honors for num- Der and quality of rumors.
 There are Eumors of every sort in Dublin. and the whispering circles spread these irresponsible reports with the greatest avidity.
 One of the choicest rumors recent was spending several days as the guest of Erskine Childers, leader of the irregulars, in the ire gular head quarters in the Galtee Mountains. No came, but since Childers is regard ed as a tool of English die-hards who are striving to wreck the Free State, the rumor probably came from sources desiring to discredit faith in England.
 De Valera has been killed innu- merable times by rumor. He has been wounded by rumor and put in his death bed by rumor.
 Childers has also been made the subject of interesting rumors among which are stories of his escape to England and his escape to America.
 The story that Arthur Griffith died from poisoning was was circulated for eventually printed in America and subsequently, denied.
 Tales of all sorts of atrocities are circulated by sympathizers of both sides in the Civil War. A nervous na- tion seizes upon these reports and rumors with consequent inf1amed ha tired.
 The killing of Michael Collins is still the subject of Dame Rumor's machinations and all sorts of tales may be heard as to the manner in which he met death, who his assail ants were and what has happened to them.
 Ireland has very bad case of war nerves After seven years of alrn constant warfare the Irish people are prepared for almost any event, and even the widest tales are met with credulity.
 The Irish censorship has been lift ed and many of these wild rumors trickle out to the rest of the world, but the good sense of the newspaper in Ireland checks many more.

> Turning to America we find thai
prior to 1889 there was no establish,
ed postal service. In that year
Massachusetts decreed that the house
of Richard Fairbanks in Boston was
to be post office for receipt and
dispatch of ships mail.
"The first regular mail was estab-
lished in the colonies between New
York and Boston in 1872 and offered
a monthly service. Until Franklin
in 1877, was appointed postmaster OF
Philadelphia, the Crown received lit
tie financial return from the colonial
postal service.
1.-THE number of post offices in
1776 wa s28, postage was high, and
the average days progress of let
ter was something between thirty
and fifty miles. When the Constitu-
ton was adopted in 1888, however,
exclusive control of post offices was
placed upon the federal government y
Abe Lincoln Postmaster.
The postmaster general said it was
not generally known that Abraham
Lincoln's first public office was that
of postmaster, in 1888, under the
Jackson administration at New Sa-
lem, Illinois.
During Lincoln's term as Presi-
dent" the postmaster general con-
tinues, "two great postal advances
were instituted, the introduction Of
the money order system, and a con.
vention with foreign countries to
make arrangements for more sys-
tematic and equitable handling Of
foreign mail"

"This indicates that to care for the
extra load an ever increasing stand
ard of efficiency of the individual
employe as well as in the methods
of administration and mechanical
equipment has to be maintained"
Pays Tribute to Workers
The postmaster general paid a
high tribute to the American postal
worker, saying that he considered
him "as one of the most important
units in the country's business. l do
not believe any other public or pri-
vate employment demands such high
deree of faithfulness, loyalty and eff
ficiency as we require of those who
handle the mail"
GAS we turn back the pages of his
tory, we find the romance of the
mails running through the story of
mans progress" said the postmaster
general. "For even in the dawn of
history man learned to entrust his
message to others for delivery.

B. c., ancient Assyrian and Persian
monorchs could boast of postal sta
tions days journey apart. The In
cas- were able to transmit knotted
string messages at the rate of $50
miles a day.
