Star Route Contracts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l.-PrOposals
are being received today by the post
Office department for carrying the
United States mails by the Star and
steamboat route in the States of North
Carolina, Georgia Florida and
Alabama. There are 1000 routes to
be let, and a copy of the
advertisement was sent out several
weeks ago to every postmaster in
terested. At the postOffice depart
ment it is urged that local mail
carriers should put in bids for these
routes instead OF allowing them to
fall IN a lump into the hands of a
contractor. 1t is averTed that if there
is money to be made in suhletting
these contracts there should be
enough profit IN carrying the United
States mails to justify it being done
by first hands.

The innovation of having the brides

DRESSING IN A COLD ROOM.

Some Suggestions About Getting Up for
Those who Sleep In Cold Rooms.
If there's anything wretched it's tum-
bling out of bed on freezing winters
morning, with the windows adorned
with frost pictures and your flesh adorned
with goose pimples all the time you are
dressing. It's unhealthy, too believe
that if properly collected the statistics of
those who have received lasting injury
from dressing in cold rooms would show
them to outnumber the. grip sufferers
two to one. Ifpossible, one should have
warm room in which to dress. Sleep
ing in cold room no one minds, unless
it is very little children. When one lives
at home it is often possible for several
members Of the family to dress in the
family sitting room by relays Without
any extra expense everybody is made
comfortable.
You can. put on dressing gown and
slippers, throw your clothes over. your
arm and run down to the warm room,
lock the doors and dress. By pinning
towel over your shoulders to protect
your dress, you can comb your hair
afterward in your own room, where,
fully dressed, you won't mind the cold
know family of ten members who
used this plan of making the family sit
ting room the dressing room for several
years. Each member of the family had
his or her own particular ten minutes to
use the room, everybody was comfort
able, and there was considerable money
saving, for before adoption of this plan
good deal of wood was used up in
making fires in the chambers on very
cold mornings.
If you are boarding, however, and can
not afford or do not wish to waste time
making a fire just coddle yourself on
cold mornings and keep out of the cold
as much as you can. Take your stock
ings into bed with you, and when they
are wssm put them on. Dress yourself
as 9sdckly as possible, moving rapidly
to make the blood circulate. Always
put ON shoes and stockings before step
ping on the floor. Your shoes may be
cold, but they won't give you such
sudden chill as contact with the floor.
Besides, you have got to get into them
some time, and you are not obliged to
wear the floor.
Get some warm water to wash in if
possible. know there is great deal
said against washing in warm water,
but it is better evil than making your
hands numb and your nose red in water
over which an ice film has formed You
have no idea, either, unless you've tried
it, how nicely warm water will make
you feel on q cold morning. Home
