A hat-lron has been invented that is
designed to be both labor and fuel saw
ing to the busy housewife. They are,
by very ingenious continuance, self
heating, and the fuel only costs one
cent for three hours. Think Of 1t, you
housewives who have done the family
ironing beside bright fire all these
long, hot summer daysl 1t is also
claimed that the irons keep very per-
feet heat, will never scorch, and give a
much better gloss.

The growth of the post office business
of the country has been amazing. At
the close of the revolutionary war
there were only 70 post offices in the
United States. At the close of the war
of 1912 there were $1,000 AT the be-
ginning of the civil war there were
2s, $3.50, and five years after its close, in
1870, there were 9s,492, or about 100
fewer, the only step backward during
the history of the post Office depart
ment. BY 1880 the upward rise had
started again and in full force, and the
number of the post Offices in the coun-
try reached AZ, 1000. There are now TO-
900 post offices in the United States,
and the number is constantly being
increased.
