STRANGER THAN FICTION. A Remedy Which Has Revolutionized tho Troatmont of Stomach Troubles. X-RAYS I ' SCOTT'S 'EMULSION We don't put Scott's Emul sion in the class of advertised cure-alls; it doesn't belong there. We hardly like j:o use the word "cure'' at all, but we are bound to say that it can be used for a great many troubles with great satisfaction. Its special function is to repair the waste of the body when the ordinary food does not nourish, and this means that it is useful in many cases which are indicated by wast ing.

Tho largest nggrogation of govern ment employes is found in tho ranks of postmasters of tho fourth class of fices hat is, ofilcos paying salaries of loss than $1000 por annum. Thoro aro 70,000 of them, a greater ,army than that cnrollod in tho regular military sorvico of tho United States. On theso postmasters, constituting tho primary department, so to spenk, of that vast educational institution called tho poital system, much of its efllcloncy depends. Anything which concerns thorn is, thoroforo, of practic al importance not ouly to tho rural communities and small towns where they do their work, but to tho business nnd professional men and all tho people of our largo citlos. Those servants of tho Government have claims to consideration. Somo of the demands put forward In tholr nnmo lire extravagant, but others aro, in the Sentry's opinion, worthy the attention of all thoso bcllovers In postnl roform who rcnlizo that any genulno Improve ment must begin nt tho fountain head. Tlio two-fold appoal of theso post masters Is for a moro pormnnont touuro of ofllco nud n more adoquato compen sation for services porformed. Under tho prosont system, a post master of this class Is commissioned to hold ofllco " during tho plensuro of tho Postmnater-aouerjil." This tonuro may last ono month or ten yeurs, boing govomed entirely by tho oxigencles of local politics. Since appointments are mado almost wholly upon tho recom mendation of Congressmen of tho dom- l..n..t .nwt am .1 tmliflnni rtmtimittAfifl I mum. jmiij, ,.u....v... v I mail orten appoiniou posi-iiiasicrn, grcuwy to the damago of tho service. An os tonslon of tho civil servlco rules to cover theso positions, would Involvo no dltllcult probloms nnd would bondfit tho public as well us tho post-masters. Tho request for additional compensa tion is founded on nn equally roason nblo basis, as to ninny of tho Incum bents of thoso positions. Postmasters receiving from $15 to $25 a month nro obliged by tho postal regulations or by local custom to keep "opon shop" from 5 0, in. to 8 p. m., a day's work manifestly too strenuous for tho' pay Involved. No allowance Is mndo to them for rent, fuel, stationery or othor expenses Incident to their ofllcial dut ies. Thero Is nlso just complaint ns to tho Insufficient pay allowed for Issuing money orders. Tho feo Is throe cents for wich order, which covers tho entire duty of helping tho purchasor fill out his application, writing out the order nnd "advloo" to paying postmaster, handling tho money, prepnrlng all tho complicated reports required by tho Department and tho accounting ofllco nnd remitting the -surplus funds to tho doslgnated place of depos.lt. An able bodied man enu otirn more money saw ing cord wood thnn by doing this work for tho pay now granted by the law. Thoso postmustors must givo bonds for tho faithful performance of duty, keep voluminous records of all ordqrs Issued and paid, and carefully preserve nil flies for a period of four years. Three cents being tho minimum tea charged by tho government to patrons for orders loss than $2.50 each in amount, has bono arbitrarily fixed, as tho compensation of issuing postmas ters. By the Introduction of tho post oheek tho number of suoh small orders Issued (uow nearly 85,000,000 per an num) would bo greatly rdlueed-. Thus movement for increasing the amount paid to postmasters would be appre ciably expedited.

Forty thousand postmasters recoivo less than $100 a pear, twenty thousand recoivo less thnn $."30 a year. Theso last re coivo tho entiro valuo of all stamps nfllxod to mall mntter leaving their of fices. This compensation has beon regarded as being all that tho government could nfTord, nnd If that principlo wero os- tnhlishcd in nil other branches of tho servlco there could bo no com plaint, but there aro innumerable stnr routes which cost far moro thnn tho entire receipts for postage on nil mat tter carried by them. There aro nu morons othor unprofitable postal fea tures, and it seems hnrd that tho moSt poorly paid class of postmasters should alone bo held down to tho basis of ac tual rovenue. If tho postnl business woro n prlvato business institution, it would not ox tend boyoud tho bound whero it could bo made profitable. Tho government does not got on that principle. It enrrios tho' mall to many romoto points at a heavy loss, and if an ofllco Is deemed necessary for tho development of tho service, tho man who holds it should bo reasonably compensated, evou if tho "earnings" of that ofllco do not equal tho amount required. Ilonoaty is tho host policy, and tho best principle, always aud everywhere. Doth principle nnd policy demand that all faithful workers for tho public bo reasonably paid for their work. Our mail system will never bo entirely healthy until tho postmasters of tho fourth olass who touch tho peoplo directly and intimately, are phioed on a sound basis, both ns to touuro of of. lice and fair compensation for work perforin!.
