Sensible Hints for Summer.

To the many hundreds of families who dc
not find it convenient to leave the city for
the summer months the following hints Will
be found valuable. Avoid exposure to the
sun as lar as possible; do as little cooking as
you can, thereby keeping your house and
yourself cool, and the best summer drink by
all odds is buttermilk. Cover your floors
with cool and clean mating, hang lace cur
tains to your windows, thereby letting in the
air and keeping out the flies, and where cur
tains are not used hang window shades that
will exclude the light and heat. During
the day wear a neat gingham dress and for
evening put on a cool satine wrapper, battle
every day and get your hosiery, underwear,
fans, etc., from Arthur Schondelmyer &
Co.. who have mattings at SC and 10c per
yard, lace curtains at 81 pair and upward,
window shades at 25c apiece and upward,
ginghams, percales and satines from 10c to
25c per yard. By observing the above hints
you will have no trouble getting through
the summer. Come to 68 and 20 Ohio st.
for cheapest carpets, wall paper and dry
goods in Allegheny. IT'S

BETTER FACILITIES.

The SouthsIde BraBch Postof1ce Too Small
-Posrmnster Mexican TO Apply fol
Larger Headquarters-A Large Increase
In the Business of the Office.
A move is now on foot to secure better
headquarters for the Southside branch post
office. Postmaster Mexican will go to Wash
ington soon and the matter will then bt
laid before the proper authorities. It ii
thought that the boon can be secured when
the Washington officials see the need OF
better facilities on that side Of the river.
The increase in the business of the South.
side branch Office has been phenomenal, and
the Office has outgrown its present head
quarters. The receipts for the past year
quadrupled that of three or four years
previous. Many citizens have complained
that the present Office, with a store occupy
ing half the space in front is too small and
only one or two can crowd up anywhere near
the stamp window at once.
Postmaster Mexican says that it is his
purpose to give all parts Of the city the best
postal service possible and show no favort-
ism to any section. An inspector will
shortly visit the Office and after his report is
made plans will be formulated to give the
Soutnside better postofice. The East
End branch Office now has fine new head
quarters, and the bettering of facilities on
the Southside will be another step in the re-
form going on.
