TUESDAY EVENING, Harrisbotig lIMAI TELEC.IXPH MAY 27, 1919.
INQUIRY ON MAIL SYSTEM
URGED BY SENIOR SENATOR
Washington. May 27.—Senator
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, believes
there should be congressional investi
gation at this session Into tho "de
plorable conditions existing in the
postal service."
Furthermore, he says, he person
ally will urge such action, and when
it Is taken Into consideration that ho
is a member of the Senate commit
tee on .post offices nnd post roads, it
is probable somo thing will be ac
complished.
Senator Penrose expressed himself
on the situation when interviewed.
Mr. Penrose said he had read with
great interest the complaints of busi
ness men, because he, himself, had
been receiving such complaints from
business men throughout tho State
for some time.
Democrats Also Angry
It was also found, In discussing
tho matter with other national law
makers, the opposition to Burleson,
and his economy methods, which
have thrown the postal service into
chaos, is assuming a nonpartisan
character. Domocrats aro found who
denounce his methods quite as
strongly ns do Republicans, and
ihey say they have been constrained
from openly fighting him simply be
cause he is a member of the Demo-i
cratic administration.
It would not be unlikely, in case
Congress should start an investiga
tion, that these men would join the
movement, becauso they realize the
complaints against him aro not
actuated by politics, and they feel
he has become a liability to their
party.
Senator Penrose feels that Con-
grcsslonal action should be thorough,
but ho expresses the belief that cor
rection of the conditions can only
come through the ousting of the men
who have virtually wrecked the ef
ficiency of the department.
Discussing the situation, Air. Pen
rose, said:
"The situation Is extrmely deplor
able and Incomprehensible, In that
human Inefficiency could porslbly bo
so great. There Is no assurance
whatever that a lotter will bo de
livered and the probabilities are it
will be delayed. Frequent Inquiries
at tho Post Office Department fall to
elicit any response giving any re
dress or promise of redress.
"The administration of the tele
graph system Is as bad, If not worse,
if that were possible, than tho postal
system. Kunntng along with this
lamentable breakdown in transmis
sion of communication Is the equal
ly serious breakdown of carriage and
delivery of express parcels as well as
parcel post packages.
Wonders How Business Exists
"I sometimes wonder how business
can be conducted at all, at least cer
tain kinds of business, anyhow. Last
j week, for Instance, I had several
J complaints from dealers In mer
chandise stating that numerous
| parrels sent to customers had fulled
'of delivery and all traces were lost.
Telegrams making inquiry of rail
road administraiton or the Post Office
Department either were not receiv
ed, remained unanswered or the
reply was unsatisfactory or indefinite.
"I can easily understand how the
business public is incensed and re
sentful. I cannot suggest any correc
[ tion that will be effective unless the
I executive heads, under the present
administration aro changed."

JOYFUL EATING
Unless your food is
digested without the after
math of painful acidity, the

'eating and living.

with over-acidity. Pleas

How Fat Folks
May Become Thin
If you are suddenly becoming stout,
or if you have been putting on flesh
for years, the cause is generally the
same —lack of oxygen carrying power
of the blood. This trouble occurs
mostly in men and women over thirty,
but it may be easily treated and with
out any of the privations most fat
people imagine necessary to reduce
their weight. Simply go to your drug
gist, and get a box of Phynola. Take
five grains after each meal and at
bedtime. Wonderful results should
be quickly accomplished by this sim
ple treatment.
Be sure however you get the genu
ine Phynola. It is put up in original
sealed packages, is pleasant to take
and gives prompt results. Gorgas. the
