Omaha, March 16. To the Editor
of The Bee: A few days ago several
articles appeared in your paper in re
gard to the demoralization 61 the Rail
way Mail service, only facts and fig
ures were not strong enough. The
order to cut all lines has gone into
effect in spite of protest of the Com
mercial club and Congressman Lo
beck. In this week's order we find
that three more "one-man. runs" are
discontinued and closed pouch serv
ice established, taking oft these clerks
and reducing them to the surplus list.
As far as the Council Bluffs terminal
is concerned, the public has no con
ception of the delay of mails. Dailv
papers destined for Oregon pointj
from Omaha, including your papers,
have been worked there twenty-four
hours after they were mailed, and
which should have been in Green
River, Wyo., by the time they got
started. It is a matter of getting a
sack full before it is sent, causing
delays of twenty-four to forty-eight
hours, "Outside" packages for news
dealers have been found in sacks am!
have been delayed twenty-four to forty-eight
hours, being taken direc-l
from-one mail train and left behind
when another train was started west
and supposed to take all this mail.
The following are some other con
ditions pf our economical mail serv
ice: - Last week a sack of circulars
was chopped out of ice and sleet
that had been there since December
25, when trucks of mail were left in
the open without guarding against
exposure. Some circulars mailed by
an Omaha firm quoting prices good
for' two weeks were worked there
three weeks after the prices were no
good anymore. Some circulars that
were worked up and ready to go were
left four days, simply waiting for
some one to get tired of seeing them
lying around and putting them on the
truck. A sack of seeds, bulbs, etc.,
was found to be seven days old and
after found it was sent to Kansas
City terminal to be rehandled. These
bulbs and seed were exposed to snow,
frost and rain in the open.
There are a lot of more cases I
can cite, but unless the mail serv
ive, rotten as it is, is advertised in
its present deplorable state, the peo
ple who pay, their good money for
service they are getting are being de
frauded by their own government.
I have been in the service nearly
ten years. Its present state of af
fairs is the worst in history and it
will take several years to bring it
back to an efficient and speedy system.
1 He present administration gag
rule" prevents us mail clerks from sav
ing what is rigat, consequently we
have not the right and power of a
unucu oiaics cuircn.

P. S. Publish this if you like, and
which 1 rather expect, but tear pre

are bona fide names and must be
treated confidential.

Mamfoin Your Health!
r
r.
Look well to the foods that enter your body. See that they are not harmful in
any way. Impure air and harmful food will weaken anybody's health. You may breathe
the purest of air and eat the most beneficial food and still poison your body if the nutrition
has to pass through diseased membranes. The mucojis membrane protects every part of
your body exposed to the air. Through it you breathe and through it you absorb your food.
When it is unhealthy the air is unhealthy, and the food is poisoned by your own body.
An unhealthy membrane has catarrh, which is stagnation of the blood, sometimes called
inflammation. When jour food and the very air ydu breathe go through a diseased mem-,
brane, how can they be healthful? ,
Ask Yourself If It Isn't the Truth
Hundreds of people suffer from systemic catarrh. Nature makes a frreat straggle to throw off this disease, bat she cannot do it un
aided. PERUNA is a reliable remedy for such conditions, tested by 44 years. Read what some of the restored have to say about it.
CATARRH OF WHOLE SYSTEM
Mrs. James A. Hall. Box 36, Norris City, His.,
writes: "About twelve years ago .my health
began fail. I couldn't eat anything without
suffering for it I had heart burn, sour stom
ach, palpitation of the heart, smothering spells,
pains in my sides and back.
"Doctors failed to relieve me. I continued
to grow worse until I was able to sit up only
a part of the time.
''Peruna books described my feeling so truly
I sent at once and got a bottle and began tak
ing it
. "When I had taken two and one-half bottles
I began to eat without suffering. I continued
to improve. When I had taken eight I was like
a new person. That waa nine years ago.
"I think Plruna the greatest family remedy
there is, for so many ailments are due to
catarrhal trouble."
w TONIC FOR WOMEN
Mrs. Mary E. Barlow, 4709 Champlain Ave.,
Flat 1, Chicago, III, writes:
"I can recommend Peruna as a good medi
cine for chronic catarrh of the bowels and
stomach, I have been troubled severely with
it for over three years. I consulted two of Chi
cago's best doctors, but none seemed to make
any improvements whatever. One year ago I
began to take Peruna, the wonderful tonic for
women, and I noticed a wonderful improvement
at once. I took six bottles in succession and I
always have it on hand to take some now and
then when my cough is bad. . Words cannot ex
press my praise for your tonic I weighed
only ninety pounds before taking Peruna, now
one hundred nineteen pounds. Anyone who has
chronic catarrh should try Peruna. It will help
anyone,"
PERUNA BROUGHT STRENGTH
Mrs. H. D. Amoss, White Plains, Ga,, writes:
"I feel like a new woman.
"When I commenced taking Peruna I could
hardly walk across my room; now I am doing
my own work; can walk a mile and a half to
church.
"I shall never cease to thank you for pre
scribing for me. I have been under the treat
ment of two doctors, but never received any
benefit until I commenced taking your med
icine. "I am now well and able to do my own work."
PERUNA-Strengthens the Weak
It is a real tonic, containing the elements that will enable your body to build itself tip to
perfect strength. It removes all catarrhal conditions, no matter where located. It restores
your Dreaming apparatus io penecr neaiio. it givea use your ainsoon, overcomes
all inflammation and sets your feet firmly upon the highway to health. Many thous
ands have used it with safety and advantage. Their letters furnish the strongest proof
of its excellence. Since it has helped them, why shouldn't it help yout Don't drag
about half sick. Take PERUNA and be well. ,
: Remember that PERUNA b also put up in tablet form.
