PIONEER IN LOCAL POSTOFFICE QUITS

Charles G. Keiser Retire' After Fourteen-Year Fight for Job. After fighting fourteen years to get his job back, Charles G. Keiser, reinstated in the Governmcr t postal service more than a year ago, was retired from Uk service today after celebrating bin sixty-fifth birthday Thursday. Keiser's career as a postal employe ended at 4:30 p. m.'Wednesday, when he “rang out’’ on the time clock at the Illinois an . South Sts. station. Keiser began his work for the Government “way back when —’’ there was only one short electric car line in Indianapolis, and that was on Illinois St. Mule Cars “Then they had mule-drawn cars, too,” Keiser said. “I very seldom rode the mule cars, because they were so slow and I could make better time walking.” He was first a canceling clerk in the old postoffice building near Pennsylvania and Market Sts. Four clerks then did all the canceling of mail by hand. Now they use machines which cancel about 100 letters a minute. Fo.ir “horse carriers” collected the mail in Indianapolis at that , time, Keiser said. Today sixteen motor cars are used. Taught School Prior to the beginning of his service with the Government he taught school in Champaign, 111., and in Indiana rural schools. He is president of the McGuffeyites of Indiana. After serving from Oct. 14, 1892, until Feb. 6, 1910, Keiser was dismissed from the postal service. He immediately began a fight to be reinstated and on March 25, 1924, President Coolidge signed the order than gave him back his position. The President stated in a

Dragging, Tired Feeling rpHE portrait above Ls of Mrs. Mary Alice Larrison, who lives near Casey, Illinois. Women who suffer from different female troubles should be very interested in what Mrs. Larrison has to say about her long experience in the use of Cardui, the well known tonic medicine for women. “About 20 years ago I was in very bad health,” says Mrs. Larrison. “I had some nervous trouble. I was weak. I couldn’t rest. I was never hungry, but always tired; couldn’t sit down contented ar.d still not able to go about —a dragging, tired feeling, like I had weights on my feet, and I would give out. “I heard of Cardui and what a help it was for weak women. I sent for six bottles. I had not taken it long, till I felt stronger. I would eat and it seemed to help the nervous, tired feeling. I grew stronger. I took twelve bottles in all and for a long time I never knew what it was to feel bad. “When change of life began with me, down I went again—nervous, depressed, sick all over. I was so weak. I hurt in the lower part of my body. I felt sore across the sides. My family was very uneasy about me when I was down in bed, not able to get up. I tried medicines . . . still 1 lay there. “I then remembered Cardui. I sent for it, and when I had taken half a bottle I felt better. The family insisted, seeing it was doing me good, so I took it right along. Soon I was out of bed, able to go about. I was much benefited.” Made from purely vegetable ingredients, Cardui is absolutely harmless. The relief derived from its use by many thousands of women pr u ves its value. Get a bottle today.

letter to him that Keiser’s dismissal had been because of political reasons. "It was a long fight,” said Keiser, “but I whipped them at every turn. Whenever the question lodged some place I got someone big enough to kick it out in the open again. When Will Hays was postmaster he recommended my . reinstatement to President Harding, but the President died before the matter came to him. When President Coolidge took office he soon signed the order.” Iri the fourteen years Keiser was out of the Government service he worked for the Interstate Public Service Company as a salesman. Promoted Often While in the Government service he was promoted six times in the first fourteen years for fitness and merit. In 1904 he was superintendent of Station B, then at 1527 Roosevelt Ave., but now abolished. Keiser lives at 612 N. Hamilton Ave. lie was born Sept. 24. 1860, at Newcastle, Ind. He came to Indianapolis in 1890. “It will be thir-ty-three years Oct. 14, since I first hung up my hat in the old postoffice building,” he said. He had not decided what work he would take up next, but he dl dnot intend to quit, he said.
