partment had ordered the civil service commission to cancel the examination for the office of Wa terbury postmaster.
 Applications for the postmaster ship according to the civil service commission announcement of last month closed in Washington yes- terday afternoon at o'clock. In addition to MT Kelley, the candi- dates were Edward A. Real; Mich ael Bergin. William T. Harrington. Charles Babin and James Neagle.
 The applications which had to be submitted included a question naire covering the life history of each /candidate. Business experi- ence had to be related in detail.
 The news from Washington last month of the examination for the postmastersilip came as a distinct surprise to most of the city, as the elevation of MT Kelley to the act ing postmastership had been con- sidered an assurance that the post mastership would be his in a short time. Speculation abounded as to the reasons for the examination, since it was understood that poli- tical leaders had conceded the post to MT Kelley.
 Similar mystery cloaks the req sons for the cancellation of the examination. Campaigning for the backing of prominent party leaders and the public had been heavy on the part of all candidates. The news comes just as the six ap- plicants and their packers were ready for a few weeks of waiting in suspense for the final decision at Washington.

WCTU FLAYS
ALCOHOL FOR
MEDICAL Use

CLEVELAND, Nov. IL. U.P1-Un-
due use of alcohol and drugs in
medical treatment was condemned
today by the Women's Christian
Temperance Union.
Meeting in the first national con
vention since the organizations so
years of temperance work was
thrown aside for prohibition repeal,
delegates turned to consideration of
the illicit drug traffic and the "haz-
ards of self preservation Of alco-
hol."
Mrs. Pearl Kendall Hess. of
Orange. Calf, head of the medical
temperance department of the w.
C. T. u. termed medicinal use of
alcohol the only respectable bull
wark Of the liquor trade" She
pointed cut that as far back as 1871
the American Medical Association
passed a resolution which read:
alcohol should be clasSed with
other powerful drugs, and when
prescribed medically it should be
done with conscientious caution and
responsibility
Mrs Kendall Hess condemned the
routine use of alcohol in medical
treatment, declaring it should be
used only for tiding a patient over
an emergency"
"a popular custom in this age of
speed is the use of narcotics to re.
lieve pressure" she said. Evidence
that a vast army of people is wooed
and won by modern salesmanship is
the fact that $525, 100000 is spent
annually for patent medicines and
remedies.
II would that faith in things Spir-
itually were as deep-seated as belief
in the power of drugs to restore
health"
A double -barreled attack on war
and booze was launched by speak
ers who pointed out that both the
World war and prohibition repeal
had 'repudiated all promises" A
five-year plan proposed by Mrs. Ida
B. Wise Smith, national w. c. T. U.
president, calling for a renewed
drive for abolition OF the liquor traf
fic, together with cooperation with
all movements for world peace, was
studied by delegates.
