2 KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT EASILY RECOGNIZED Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected • •An examining: physician for one of the ’prominent .Life Insurance compa nies. in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason Why so many applicants for fr. insurance are rejected is because kid j j ney trouble is so common to the Amer lean people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.

Postoffice Department Blames Mail Delays on Congestion of Railroads Issues Statement in Reply to Criticisms, Affirming That Policy of Economy Is Not Detrimental to Good Service BY RALPH SMITH WASHINGTON. Jan. 15—The post- I office department has prepared an of ficial statement In answer to the press criticisms that have been aimed at the mail service. The statement is general In charac ter and takes no notice of individual • or special criticisms, since the depart ment appreciates the very obvious and i very well known fact that from time immemorial there have occurred occa sional instances of the miscarriage of mail, or unprecedented and Inexplicable delays in the delivery of certain letters. It seems pertinent to recall, in this connection, that some of the newspapers so violently complaining about the mail service published not so long ago a widely circulated story about the de livery at Denver, Col., of a letter that was posted before the Civil war. Where that letter had been all these years was not stated. The department emphasizes that the delay in the transmission of mail, i i general, has been due to the same causes that explained the delay in freight and express and passenger train service, viz: the unprecedented conges tion of the railroad system. The prompt and expeditious trans mission of the mails depends, of course, about railroad train schedules and rail road train connections. It is pertinent, therefore, to remark that during the I month of November, 1917, there were 87,712 failures by mail trains to make their scheduled connections. There was here in Washington an , instance where a mail car was “lost” I by the railroads through no fault of 1 the postoffice department; It was side tracked for several days in the yards, and hundreds of mall pouches, contain ing thousands of letters, were diverted from the regular channels and delay el. The postoffice department announced this fact through the press and penal ized the railroads for their careless ness. The explanation sufficed for most of the complainants, but In the case of one editor in the south the delay of an individual letter among these pouches was made the subject of a violent at tack on the postoffice department and the postmaster general. The statement of the department comprehensive and interesting. fol lows: Statement of Department Newspapers complaining editorially of delay in the mail associate this with the fact that under the administration of Mr. Burleson the postal service has been economically administered and a large surplus of postal revenues has been turned in to the general fund of the treasury. In effect the criticisms of the post office department are aimed at the pol icy of economical administration and the complaints of delay in the delivery of mail are citations in support of the antagonism toward the curtailment of unnecessary and extravagant expendi tures. The gravaman of the complaints ap pear to be that 15,000,000 or 19,000,- 000 has been saved to the government from the postal revenues and turned fnto the treasury, and that the delays in the edllvery of mail which have been occasioned by traffic conditions, like those In the delivery of all freight, ex press and In the passenger service of railroads, are chargeable to a policy of the department which has curtailed ex travagant and useless expenditures of public moneys. So far as has appeared in any edi torial criticism of this sort which has come to the attention of the department no attempt has been made to indicate how by the expenditure of more money —by the restoration of a system of prodigality of expenditure—the deliv ery of mail could be made more prompt. I Reports from all branches of the pos tal service show promptness and effi ciency in the handling of the mail at this time in so far as the postal serv- i ice is concerned, not surpassed in any period of the history of deficiency which j drew upon the taxpayers to support this branch of the government that should have been self-supporting. The records of the department do not show that efficiency has been promoted by ex travagant expenditures. Waste Avoided Under the present administration of the postoffice department the aim has been to avoid wastefulness of public money, no matter what privateor cor porate interests might be served by ex tranvagance: but no expenditure re quired for the good of the service has been cut off and not a dollar has been saved at the sacrifice of efficiency. The department welcomes criticisms and suggestions of improvement of the serv ice. and does not complain even of such criticism as is unjust. But where the public interests are equally concerned in promptness and efficiency or service and in the expenditure of money which must be drawn from the pockets of the taxpayers it is essential that an un justifiable complaint of inefficiency in the service should not be made an ex cuse for reckless expenditure of public money without resultant benefit. Reports on the daily operations of the railway mail service, the postoffices and I city delivery—all that is under the con i trol of the postoffice department—show that the mail, though presented in great er volume than before in the history of the country, is being handled more expe ' ditiously by the postal employees than lin previous years. There is no indica t tion of where by more liberal lawful ex penditure of money in any branch of the service under the control of ment of mail could be facilitated. That there has been delay, sometimes quite serious, in the transmission of the mails is a matter of public knowledge not disputed by the department. But this Is no more due to the inefficiency In the administration of the postal service than is delay, which is much greater than that of the mails, in the delivery of freight and express carrying the neces sities of life to merchants for dlstribu- • tion. Congestion Brings Delay The congestion of the railroad system of the country, which has resulted in de privation and suffering to the public • through fuel and fobd shortage, has re -1 cently made necessary the taking over of the entire system by the governnxent The postoffice department is no more re sponsible for the delay in the delivery of a letter than it is for the delay in the delivery .n coal and sugar, and. were additional sums expended much In ex cess of the surplus of the past ten years, the mail could in no wise be expedited. The postoffice department has regular ly received telegraphic reports from all branches of the service, and these re ports show that, notwithstanding an in crease of above 25 per cent in first class matter and approximately 40 per cent In parcel post, there was a marked improve ment in the service during 1917, as com oared with that of other years. A large volume of packages heretofore handled by express companies has been diverted to parcel post by the public to facili tate its deliver. The reports on the THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA, GA.. FRIDAY, JANUARY 18. 1918. holiday season show that with this enor 'mous increase in the volume of mail the only point where a congestion occurred in a postoffice was at Washington, D. C., and the congestion there was due to fail ure on the part of the railroads to fur nish sufficient cars, the mall matter through this office, by reason of its be ing the gateway to army cantonments and mobilization camps, having been in creased to at least ten times the normal amount. The delay in the transmission of the mail, like that of freight, express and passenger service, is due to the conges tion of the railroad system. During the month of November, 1917, there were 86.- 712 failures by mail’trains to make their scheduled connections. One of the most important mail trains carrying mail of i Washington. Philadelphia, Baltimore and j points west failed Sully 70 per cent of the time during the past four months, and the principal train between New York and Chicago failed 71 times of its southwest connection during three months and 57 times of its northwest connection. • Handling Mail Prompt The distribution and handling of mail at all post offices is on a defin ite and prompt schedule. The failure of a train to make its connection oper ates to delay the handling of that mail until the next delivery', which in some cases means the next day. It also pilese up the load of mall of the delayed train with that of trains to follow, enormously increasing the work to be done by the postal clerks** within the limited time between deliveries. Yet these deliveries have not been delayed nor schedule of deliveries changed. As rapidly as the mail has been delivered to the postoffices by the railroads it has been distributed and delivered at its destination. The department is not criticising the railroads for the exis tence of conditions, but in all fairness, it is felt bythe perpartment, that the delay in mails, it should be known by the public, is due entirely to railroad congestion, and should be measured up against the delay in other railroad traf fic. The result of such a comparison would disclose marvelous efficiency on the part of the postal service. The postal service has delivered its mail as rapidly as it received it and made a better record in 1917 under more ad verse conditions, than any previous year. The fact that in addition to improv ing the service, |9.000p00 has been paid into the general fund of the treasury by the postoffice department should not be made a subject of com plaint. Nor should inconvenience to the public resulting from war conditions which are felt with respect to all forms of traffic, should not be made an excuse for demanding the unneces sary expenditure of postal service revenues, when benefit could not re sult from such additional expenditure. Foetal Employes’ Pay The implication in some criticism that inefficiency has resulted from poor pay to the postal employes, is not jus tified by the records of the department or testimony of employes before the committee of congress. The economy accomplished by the department has not Involved a reduc tion of the salary of any of the em ployes. These salaries are fixed by law. In the report for the year ending June 30, 1916, Postmaster General Bulreson said: “It has been the earnest effort of the department to fix the standard rates of pay for the different classes of work at from 15 to 30 per cent above the average rates paid for similar services by the leading commercial institutions of the country. The same rule has been followed throughout the postal service in fixing salaries that are not fixed by law. Whenever an employe or a group of employes is found to be receiving salaries below the standard, the depart ment will make an effort to secure ap propriate Increases. It is the depart ment’s desire to maintain not only a living wage for all its employes, but by the adoption of every safety appliance possible to establish sanitary and com fortable working conditions for both de partmental and postal service employes and in no case to require of any postal employe more than eight hours’ work in any one day.” Mr. Burleson adheres to this policy in dealing with the employes of the de partment. Mother Burned Saving Child From Flames Mrs. A. E. Nelson, 18 West Ormond street, was painfully burned about the hands and arms Wednesday morning, while extinguishing the flames which seriously burned her son, A. E. Nelson. Jr. The child caught fire near an open grate and his life was probably saved by the quickness with which Mrs. Nel son rolled him in the bed clothes. Mother and son were taken to Grady hospital where the announcement was made that Mrs. Nelson’s burns were not serious and that the boy would recover.

Eagan tract, immediately south of and adjoining the Fort McPherson gov ernment reservation. The contract for the construction of the shops was awarded in Washington on Tuesday to the Mackie Construction company, of Atlanta. Colonel Edgar B. Stayer, of the quar termaster department, who severa' weeks ago was sent to Atlanta to recommend a site, has opened offices a -605 Forsyth building, and will supervise >the work of construction. Wlien com plete the plant will have cost between J 1,500,000 and >2,000,000 and will em ploy enlisted men, in addition to fifty four officers. The completion of the repair shops will make Atlanta the center of all th< automobile, motorcycle, harness, cloth ing and tentage repairs in the south eastern section. Equipment of all kinds from the twenty or more army camps in the southeast will constantly be sent to the Atlanta shops for repairs. Ac cording to Colonel Stayer Wednesday there will not be a single day’s time lost in beginning construction work. The shop will be 510 by 312 feet and will have a capacity of 150 motor trucks at a time. The repair of other equip ment, such as touring cars, motorcycles, soldiers’ clothing and shoes, can be looked after at the same time. The non-commissioned officers and en listee! men will Be quartered in twenty barracks buildings, and in this connec tion there will be erected also five mess halls, five baths, one hospital, one store house, one administration building, of ficers’ quarters and garage. According to Colonel Stayer, the re pair shop unit will need of many skilled mechanics, such as auto repairmen wheelwrights, plumbers, carriage pel nt' ers, magno-electric men, storage battery men and car testers. He declares that the commissioned officers of the uni will be made up of the personnel of the unit, and In view of this inducement it is expected that a large number of skilled workmen will gather for induc tion into the unit. Colonel Stayer will gladly give in formation at his offices in the Forsyth building to any persons desiring to en list in this unit. He says there has been an erroneous report that men of selective service age could not enlist for the repair units. Those of selctive service age who desire to enlist in this unit are urged to pall upon Colonel Stayer. Particularly are skilled mechanics urged to see <Tolonel Stayer. One Million Net Is Cleared by Convicts (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 16.—The trus tees ot the penitentiary have paid into tne state treasury the sum of >520,000 on account of sales of cotton and cotton seel a few weeks ago. This makes about >750,000 already paid in on this account, and the trustees state that they have 2,- 000 mere bales to sell, as well as several carloads, of seed. It Is also stated that the convict farms have produced and housed about 100,000 bushels of corn in excess of what they need to run the big plantations on this year. It has been predicted all along that the Mississippi convict farms of 25,000 acres will place >1,000,000 net, over and above all expenses, in the state treasury on account of last year’s crop of cotton.

Wilkinson, of Atlanta, assistant sec- | retary of agriculture, in charge of the distribution of fertilizers, has informed Congressman Charles R. Crisp that the federal government finally has perfect ed arrangement for supplying southern cotton farmers with adequate fertilizer ! for next year’s crop. The announce- ; ment will be read with interest not j alone by the farmers of Georgia, but 1 all branches of industrial and commer- ' cial activity whose prosperity and sue- I cess depends upon the cotton crop. According to Mr. Wilkinson, a ship , from Chile will dock a»t fjavannah on , or about February 1, with 18,000 tons I of nitrate of soda for distribution to the ' farmers of Georgia. The fertilizer will | be sold to the farmers at cost, plus I freight from South America to Savan- I nah. The price will be >76 per ton F. ■ O. B. Savannah, which is considerably cheaper than the farmers could buy it from fertilizer manufacturers. The price of nitrates from private manufac turers, one-ton lots, is about >125 per ton. Thus the government will lessen the cost to the farmer by nearly >SO per ton. Mr. Wilkinson explained to Congress man Crisp that the fertilizers for Geor gia would be distributed by the govern- ■ ment, through an agency at Savannah, only to individual farmers at the price quoted on the written order of the local county farm demonstrators in each county. He emphasized that each order must be accompanied by cash, certified check or New York exchange, since the government can’t open any charge ac counts where there are no local farm demonstrators. The government has purchased, all told, 100,000 tons of Chilean nitrates for the use of American fanners in the production of their next crop. While it is probable that in ordinary times the farmers use In excess of this quantity of fertilizer, the government hopes to make the 100,000 tons meet the require ment by rigidly regulating its distribu tion. That is one of the reasons why the government’s nitrate importation will be sold only to individual farmers on the recommendation of county agents. Tn no circumstances wtll the government permit any one farmer to secure a larger quantity of fertilizer than he actually requires. Senators and members of congress, especially from cotton producing states, recently have been deluged with letters and telegrams from farmers making in quiries about the distribution of the Chilean nitrate. On that account the statement of Mr. Wilkinson to Congress man Crisp will be read with widespread; interest in Georgia. Kt the last session of congress an ap- i propriatlon of >10,000.000 was made for I the purpose of purchase and distribution j of nitrates by the government, in an- j ticipation of the shortage in America.

New York, N T. —In a recent discourse Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who ba* studied wide ly both In thi* country and in great European medical institutions, sstd: “If yon were to make an sctnal blood test on all people who are ill you would probably be greatly astonished at the exceedingly large number who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of iron. The moment iron is supplied a multitude of dangerous symptoms disappear. Without iron the blood at onee loses the power to change food into living tissue and therefore i.otbing you eat does you any good; you don’t get the strength out of it. Your food merely passes through your system like corn through a mill with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can't grind. As a result of this continu ous blood and nerve starvation, people become generally weakened, nervous and all run down and frequently develop all sorts of conditions. One is too tbfn; another is burdened with un healthy fat: some are so weak they ean hardly walk; some think they have dyspepsia, kidney or liver trouble; some can’t sleep at night, others are sleepy and tired all day; some fussy a.->d irritable; some skinny and bloodless, but all lack physical power and endurance.
