Will Be Money Maker.
DEFICIT OF DEPARTMENT LARGE
Dae la Great Part to Increase la Sal
aries Authorised by Coacresa
Receipts Exceed Year
Previous.
WASHINGTON. Nov. IS Postmaster
General Meyer announced today that ths
postal deficit for the fiscal year ended
June 80, raw, amounted to $16,10,2T9. The
receipts were $191,478,633, (being 7.S06.6i7
greater than the previous year), and ths
expenditures J20S.361.884 The deficit is ths
largest In ths history of the Postoffloe de
partment. An analvsls of the figures shows that
$9,891,321 represents the advance In the rate
of compensation authorised by congress for
employes of the railway mall service, rural
delivery service, city delivery service and
assistant postmasters and clerks In post
offices. The normal Increase in the rev.
enue for several years was about pet
cent, and In 1908 4.29 per cent; the falling
off In the rate of growth being due to the
financial depression.
The postmaster general said In his an
nual report he would call the attention of
congress to the fact that he Is "firmly
convinced that the establishment of a local
parcels post, confined to rural ' routes,
would tend to wipe out the postal deficit
and would finally make the rural service
self-sustaining, besides being of conveni
ence to the farmer and a boon to the re
tall country merchant."
There are -now in operation more than
39,000 rural routes, he said, serving a pop
ulation of about 18,000,000 people, and should
an average of fifty pounds of merchandise
be carried by the rural carriers on each
trip through the year, It Is estimated that
$15,000,000 would be realised. The rate
would be 5 cents for the first pound and 2
cents for each additional pound tip to
eleven pounds, the maximum weight of a
package. With the exception of a small
percentage paid to postmasters of tha
fourth class for Increased cancellations, he
said, all revenue from this parcel post
would be clear gain, as there would be no
railroad transportation whatever, the serv
ice being confined to packages mailed by
bona fide merchants and patrons of the
rural routes.

ered It In my practice."
When they read his will It directed tliem

Life." fpon opening It they read: "Don't
abuse the stomach." This profound
thinker after a long life of medicine knew
the stomach to be the throne of man.
Stuart's Dysepsla Tablets will help you
make a stomach healthy.
If It Is worn out and lacks the fluids of
digestion, these tablets will take the place
of such fluids.
If It Is filled with poisonous Juices, these
tablets will neutralise and remove such
poison.
If you cannot eat without agony, these
tablets will show you .how you can. If
you will eat foolishly, or drink excessively,
or If business demands abuse of stomach,
these tablets after meals will make such
abuse light, for they take the hardship
away from the stomach.
They are great digesters, filled with
more powerful agents than the system can
give. They go back Into the blcod after
they have digested a meal, thereby In
creasing tho ability of nature to take cara
of digestion without exhausting other

WATTERSQN'S DEATH MOURNED
Several Omaha Men Are Friends of
Unfortunate Man's Law
Partners.
Many local readers of the news of the
death of Harry W. Watterson, son of the
editor, in falling from a New York office
building had the tragedy deepened In their
minds because of acquaintance with the
partners In the real estate business of the
unfortunate man. Of these, Philip Russet
Is the son of W. H. Russel of Omaha. Both
he and Thomas Wing, the other partner,
were at the University of Nebraska to
gether, one graduating in the class of '98.
and the other two years earlier. Thomas
Crelgh of the Cudahy company, and W.
H. Wheeler and Harry Tukey, secretary
of the Omaha Real Estate exchange, were
also at Lincoln at the same time.
So many people scattered all over the American Continent have been cured by Dr. Pierce'i
Family Medicines that there's scarcely a hamlet where some of these grateful people are not
to be easily found ever ready to say a good word for the medicines which cured them and
which very likely may cure you, if similarly afflicted. Look them up. They are walking ad
vertisements for Dr. Pierce's medicines ever ready to pass the good news along that these
medicines cure when many athcrs fail. Little advertised NOW, Decause their record of 40
years of cures makes great displays of their merits unnecessary. The great American ptoplt
pretty generally know of their unequaled record.
