 Never in the memory of the old .najl carrier was there such a flood of mail matter at one time. De- spite the fact that it was Christmas. ;tlaii carriers worked all day Sun day sorting and preparing their mail fer delivery Monday. Many of them postponed their Christmas din- nors until o'clock in the evening.

FENN BOUND OVER
 UNDER Sl,000 BOND
Alleged Rhode Island Bootlegger
 to Face Superior Court

Probable cause was found by Judge H. P. Roche in police court today. in the case of Reuben Fenn, aged 32, of Lakewood. R. l., charg- ed with transporting liquor by means of motor vehicle. and he was bound over to the March term of su- perior court in s1.000 bonds.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods said he felt a case in which the charge is of serious nature such as trans porting liquor by means of a motor vehicle. should be sent to superior court for disposition.
 Judge Roche said he took juris- diction in case of this nature last week after state and defense counsel had como 10 an agreement before hand, but in this instance he would not do so.
 Special Compartment In Auto
 Sergeant P. J. O'Mara testified that he and Sergeant Flynp arrested Tenn on Hartford avenue last Thursday evening about 8 o'clock. They found 36 bottles of liquor in a special compartment in a roadster parked in front of store into which Fem had gone, followed by Ser gcants Flynn and McCue while Ser geant O'Mara watched the car. Tenn admitted that he was transporting the liquor, according to Sergeant O'Mara.
 Attorney David L. Dunn, repre- senting Tenn, asked the sergeant if any of the officers had q search war. rant and the reply was negative. We were looking for him, but we had no warrant for him. the ser geant said.
 Attorney Dunn called Judge Roche's attention 10 the fact that Fem has no police record of any kind and he was frank with the po- lice about the transporting charge. The attorney did not consider 1t a fragrant case of transporting and he asked that Judge Roche take juris- diction and dispose of 1t at once. Fenn. he said, is under a heavy bond and is desrous of having the case disposed of. He is married and has two small children.

meath the meZzanlne floor where the mail carriers were working, were thousands of letters technically known as ''mark-ups."
 These are. letters address as fol- lows: Miss Jennie Jones, Stanley street. New Britain. Conn.," They are not unbelievable but are de- layed by the nature of their ad- dress. When a mail carrier comes across letter of this kind while busy sorting mail he can do nothing with it but lay 1t aside. since he has no time to look up the address.
 While the sender of the letter be- lieves that the mail carrier knows where Jennie Jones lives, there IS no assurance that he does Besides that Stanley street is the longest street in the city and is served by from SIX to 10 mail carriers, depending upon the time of the year. These letters later are gone over by a clerk or carrier who marks the addresses on as many as can be found and eventually they are delivered
 Seasoning for Soup
 Then there are the letters which form the class known as soup" They consist of mail incorrectly ad- dressed. lacking address or postage, or letters which must so to the dead letter office. Sunday evening the Herald representative found the postmaster, when other people were home enjoying Christmas with their families, almost buried in hundreds If not thousands of letters on his desk which had gone into the soup These letters were gone over carefully in an effort to ascer- tain their correct addresses,
 A sample of the type Of letter which goes into the soup was the following: MT. Jim X, 5S Vitmont street, New Britain, Conn.," There is no Vitmont street in this city, and unless MT. Jim x can establish his identity to the satls1acron of the postmaster, his letter will go to the burial grounds of deceased epistles in Washington. Another letter was addressed to party at "276 Alice street, The party was found at 172 Ellis street. A letter which occa- stoned much thought, but which finally must go to the dead letter office, was addressed to "Mr. Gil- roy. care of Mrs. Brown, New Brit ain.' If, inside the envelope. there is anything that will reveal who Mr. GiIroy is, or what Mrs. Brown of the many Mrs. Browns in the city is meant, possibly the dead letter office at Washington will be able to ascertain and Mir. Gilroy may get his letter some day.
 on to the Nort,lary
 One of the periodic problems con fronting the post office is caused by letters addressed to Mir. Anderson or MT. Johnson.' There are many Andersons and many Johnsons in New Britain, a number of them re- siding on the same street In several cases, In the section where many of the families of this name reside are a number of mail carriers. Six men serve Stanley street in normal times, and four men serve East street. Others serve Park, Pleasant, Fairview and other streets in that section. On Christmas week the number is greatly augmented. There is no choice but the dead letter of fee for these letters.
 But of those letters correctly al- post office made yesterday, accord ing 10 Postmaster II. E. Erwin. what would be considered a clean up in any post office in the coun- try"

GAMERS BILL
BEFORE HOUSE
Committee Against Optional
Inspection Plan.

A bill now before the House of
Representatives and bearing the rec
ommendation of the House commit
tee on State Medicine provides in
spection of cannery food products.
This measure known as the Storen
bill, aroused much opposition on the
committee hearing on the part of a
number of cannerymen. although it
has support of the Indiana Gamers
Association.
Opponents submitted a substitute
measure, making inspection optional
and calling for use of a State stamp
of approval. This was opposed by
the committee.
Object of the Storen bill is to give
the industry an inspection service
that will overcome the bad reputa-
ton created by the States unin-

health, in the following letter:

FLUSH THE KIDNEYS
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Drink Lots of Water, Also
Take a Little Salts if
Back Hurts

No man or woman can make a
mistake by flushing the kidneys &C.
casionally, says well-known author
ity. Eating too much rich food Gre
ates acids, which excite the kidneys.
They become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the
blood. Then we get sick. Rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders often come from
sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys, or your back hurts,
begin drinking quart of water each
day, also get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy, take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast, and in a few days
your kidneys may act fine.
This famous salts is made from
the acid OF grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to flush and stimulate
the kidneys; also to help neutralize
the acids in the system, so they no
longer cause irritation, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water
drink which everyone should take
now and then to help keep the kid
neys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby often avoiding serious
kidney complications.-Adv
