BuRDEsED wIIH VALENTINES
Postonioe Employees Are Not Advocat,

Postonioe Employees Are Not Advocates
of the Ancient Custom,
Yesterday was burdensome day TO
the employees at the local pOstoilice, and
they are not enthusiastic advocates OF
the custom Of sending out valentines in
the good, Oldfashioned way. "You have
no idea OF the amount OF extra labor II
means for the postoflice." said II. c.
kreisel, the clerk at the general delivery
window, to-day, in speaking of the mat
ter "All the carriers went out yester-
day almost covered with their large bur
dens. The packages are all light, but
the trouble lies in the fact that they
make such bulky load. Another disa
greeable feature Is that 80 many people
are under the impression that l.cent
stamp is all that Is necessary to secure
the delivery OF a valentine, although they
seal the envelope. This cOmpels us 10 20
TO the trouble of stamping these en-
yelopes and then encOuntering the
greater difficulty OF collecting the extra
cent before delivering the letter.
Then, too, many OF the Juveniles have
a habit of opening their envelopes and
when they find what IL on the inside,
paste them together again with mix
ture OF hOur and water and re-address
the old envelope in order to return the
valentine to the person whom they sus,
pect OF having sent II to them in the first
place. On the whole | am certain that
postOnlce employees would like TO see the
custom OF sending valentines die out
and as it is we thank our stars that /,
comes only once year"

Evidence OF IntlIg stion.

Z Goodness of feet and limbs is almost
invariably an evidence of indigestion.
The GOODNESS is due not to the weak
ness of the heart or feebleness of cir
culation, as is generally supposed, but
to the contraction of the small arteries,
preventing blood from entering the
parts. There is generally an irritation
Of the abdominal sympathetic nerve
centers which control the circulation
of the lower extremities. This difficulty
is not to be removed by exercise or by
any special application to the limbs,
but by removal of the causes Of irrita-
ton. This may be prolapsed stomach
or chronic Indigestion. Hot and cold
footbaths are valuable These act not
simply on the feet and limbs, but by re-
flex action affect beneticially the alb
dominal sympathetic centers, which
are in diseased condition.

COMMISSION TAKES A REST.
Observation-Disclosures Conference Ends
Trouble Over Alaska.

INSTRUMENTATION Conference Ends
Trouble Over Alaska.
The American Canadian joint high COM
mission, which has been holding sessions
in Washington, adjourned to meet at Que
bee Aug. 2 unless the chairmen of the re-
spective commissions agree upon another
date. The commission first began its la
bors nearly six months ago in Canada, and
has, with the exception Of probably
month, been earnestly at work endeavor-
ing to accomplish the object for which 1t
was appointed-the formulation OF
treaty covering the many perplexing ques-
lions Of differences affecting the business
interests Of the United States and Can
ada.
A dozen important questions were refer
red to the commission for it's considera-
ton, and the commissioners assert that
substantial progress in the settlement and
adjustment Of many of the questions has
been made. Probably those which have
given the most serious trouble and proved
stumbling blocks to a final agreement on
all have been the two relating to lumber
and the Alaskan boundary question, on
both of which the Canadians have de-
manded concessions which the Americans
felt it would be prejudicial to the best In
terests Of the United States to grant. 1t
was felt that an adjournment for few
months might result in better prospect
for harmony and a disposition on the part
of the Canadians to agree to propositions
made to them from the commissioners on
this side Of the boundary line.

Great Britain continues to be the great
est customer of the United States, despite
the fact that our purchases from her con-
tinue much below those of former years.
The figures Of the treasury bureau of sta
tistics covering the calendar year exports
and imports show that our sales to the
United Kingdom in the year 1898 were
$685., 661, 1877, against $3.50, $685. 24 in
1897, while our imports from Great Brit
ain in 1898 were but Sill 1861 ,617, against
$159, OO2, 2S6 in 1897. Thus our sales to
the United Kingdom are nearly FIVE times
as much as our purchases from her. The
imports into the United Kingdom from
the United States in the calendar year
1898 show healthy increase in the items
of bacon, lard, copper, raw cotton, leather,
hops, corn and oats.

The Attorney General has decided that
the United States is not liable for any
claims for damages arising out Of Dewey's
cutting the British cable at Manila. This
opinion is rendered in response to an init
nation from the British Government that
it would like to know the attitude of the
United States in regard to the matter. The
Attorney General holds that the cutting
of the cable was necessary as an exigency
of war.

Here are the latest directions: Use one
tablespoonful of Grain-O to two cups of
cold water. (Be sure to measure) After
the water gets to the boiling point let boil
for fifteen to twenty minutes. Use cream
and sugar to suit the taste. II you have
not cream use hot milk.

Grain-O did not like it, but after using it

days, you will not go back to coffee.
