tiik PENROSE WINS FIGHT FOR POSTAL SERVICE Continued from First Page. practiced at the expense of efficient and necessary postal service. The fight against the town mail delivery service was conducted by Bryan, of Florida, and Hoke Smith, of Goorgia. Senator Bryan moved to strike the appropriation from the bill, asserting that the administration did not ask for the service, and did not approve of the extension of the I mail delivery facilities. Senator Smith quoted Fourth Assistant Blakeslee as unfavorable to the continuance of the appropriation 'under which village mail delivery service has been established in the, following Pennsylvania towns: Freeland, Ephrata, White Haven, Palmerton, Peclnille, Spring Tunkhannoek and Wrishtsville.

Had the motion to strike out the item prevailed, the mail carrier service would have been discontinued June 30 in nearly 150 towns throughout the United States. Rural Men Victorious So far as the post office apropria tions bill is concerned the rural carriers, ynumbering in all 43,000 men, scored olg victory when the Senate agreed to a graduated increase in their salaries arter Mr, Burleson and his fourth assistant, James I. Blakslee, of sought to wipe out many rural routes and return to the old star route system of letting contracts for carrying the malls to the lowest bidder. Senator Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania, led the fight for the carriers who hereafter will receive the following compensation for their services: Carriers with routes of 24 miles and over and who deliver mail six days a week $1,200 per annum and payable monthly. Routes 22 miles in length and less than 24 miles, $1,152.

Routes 20 miles in length $1,080. Routes of 18 miles, $960. Routes of 16 miles, $840. Routes of 14 miles. $720.

Rural carriers serving tri weekly routes will be paid on the basis for a route one half the length of the route served by him, while carriers serving iwo tn weeKiy routes will receive pay on the basis for a route one half of the combined length of the two routes. The Postmaster General Is given authority to pay a salary not to exceed $1,800 per year to carriers who furnish and maintain their own motor vehicles and who serve routes not less than 50 miles in length. Under the provisions of the bill about 2,250 rural carriers in Pennsylvania, 2,540 in Ohio and 400 in West Virginia will receive increases in pay. Kctain Assistant Postmasters The attempt of Postmaster Gen eral Burleson to legislate out of office assistant postmasters in cities such as Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and in fact assistants in every Presidential office failed when the Senate agreed to an amendment of Senator George T.

Oliver, of Pennsvlvnnia. restorinc then officials after the House had followed me wisnes of Mr. Burleson and elim! nated them. These assistants, most of whom are Republicans, and are under me protection of the civil service, can not be reached by the Democratic ad miiusirauon unless provisions were maae in tiie post office appropriation bill for their removal. The ndnntmn of the Oliver amendment means that aimost i.ivv men who are trained in the postal service by reason of lnno ex perience will be retained in the employ of the government unless the House conferees refuse to accept the action of the Senate, which is not considered probable.

A total of $3,000, 000 is paid these officials annually. A determined fight to discontinue the experimental village delivery service in towns and villages having second and third class offices failed by a vote of 36 to 29. For the next fiscal year an appropriation of $150,000 will be allowed to further test the svstem. Senator Penrose, in supporting the project, told the Senate that the new system, inaugurated two years nco through, the efforts of Representative W. W.

Griest, of Pennsylvania, was a success in the Keystone State end that many towns not having the free delivery service have benefited and the receipts or the post office affected larged increased. The proposal of the postal officials to promote railway mail clerks only every two years instead of annually, as is now done, was overwhelmingly defeated.

U. S. PROPOSALS ARE BEFORE AUTHORITIES Continued from First Page. try and in Germany In this delicate diplomatic situation. The British press in general is re strained in tone but the average Englishman plainly resents what he considers a hint at an attempt to interfere with the absolute blockade of Germany should Great Britain care to enforce this with her sea power.

In the meanwhile and in spite of the sinking of four more British merchantmen involving thev loss of four lives. Great Britain still holds off from declaring food destined to Germany to be contraband. It is believed if this step will be taken It will be postponed until the American proposal has been discussed at length. Just what this proposal is the public both here and in Berlin Is unaware. Its only infor mation has been 'gleaned from the meager and qualified dispatches from Washington.

There would seem to be no doubt, however, that Great Britain will heserve the right to declare food contraband at any time she deems it necessary especially as Germany's so called blockade has been enforced with all the power Germany has at her command for a week past. How the British cabinet feels about the matter would appear to have been plainly indicated by the statements made by Foreign Secretary Grey, Premier Asquith and First Lord of the Admiralty Churchill, all of whom have more than hinted that drastic retaliatory measures might be expected at any moment.

Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good.

There was no operation, no lost' time, no: troublej': I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation, if you write to me. Eugene M.

To Put On Flesh And Increase Weight A Physician's Advice Most thin people eat from four to six pounds of good solid fat making food every day and still do not, increase in weight ions ounce, while oh the other hand many of the plump, chunky folks eat very lightly and keep gaining all the time. It's all bosh to say that this Is the nature of the individual. It Isn't Nature's way at all. Thin folks stay thin becausn thi powers of assimilation are defective They absorb just enough of the food they eat to maintain life and a semblance of health and strength.

Stuffing won't help them. A dozen meals a day won't make them gain a single "stay there" pound. All the fat Dnodurinv elements of their food just stay in the intestines unui iney pass Irom the body as waste. What such people need is something that will prepare these fatty food elements so that their blood can absorb them and deposit them all about the body something, too, that will multiply their red bKood corpuscles and increase their blood's carrying power. For such a condition I always recommend eating a Sargol tablet with every meal.

Sargol is not. as some believe, a patented drug, but is a scientific combination of six of the most effective and powerful flesh building elements known' to chemistry. It is absolutely harmless, yet wonderfully effective and a single tablet eaten with each meal often has the effect increasing the weight of a thin man or woman from three to five pounds a week. is sold by Geo.
