We are glad to note the improvement
in the Denison postoffice as per mention
in the last issue of the REVIEW and
would suggest one more that [ think
could be arranged easily by the efficient
postmaster as it is in many postoffices
in as large or even smaller places than
Denison. That is to have the delivery
open at all times during opening OF
business hours and clerk to, hand
people their mail not keepipgt them
waiting with the door closed till the
mail is distributed, but let those who
wish have what mail there is in theil
boxes and get the rest if any when they
call again. One of the Paradise patrons
of the Denison postoffice Informed us
that he had gone to the p. o. found the
window closed and several waiting as
there generally are in such places He
went out to the stores, did some trad
ing. came back and found it closed fol-
another mail, went out again and wher
he called the third time it was again
closed np.. He waited this time to pc,
his mail, and so it is in many places be-
sides Denison. Those who live in Den
ison know when the different mails ar
rive and are distributed and can accom-
modate themselves, but the many out
side patrons do not keep track of these
times and the many mails arriving il
Denison, if the delivery window j:
closed from five to twenty minutes fol
each, it requires quite little time Of
wait from business for many.

The Watchword of Women.

Modesry is woman's watchword
Whatever threatens her delicate sense
of modesty, frightens her. For this
reason many woman permits diseases
of the delicate womanly organs to be
come aggravated because she cannot
bring herself to submit to the ordeal
of unpleasant questionings, offensive
examinations, and obnoxious local
treatments, which some physicians find
necessary. Doubtless thousands of the
women who have taken advantage of
DR.. Pierce's offer Of free consultation
by letter, have been led to do SO by
the escape thus offered from q treat.
ment repugnant to modesty Any sick
woman may write to DR.. Pierce, Buf.
falo, N. Y, in perfect confidence, all
letters being treated as strictly pri
vate and sacredly confidential, and al
answers being sent in plain envelopes
with no advertising or other printing
upon them. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has been long hailed as a
God send to women. 1t makes weak
women strong and sick women well
Favorite Prescription contains no al
cohol. neither opium. cocaine or Other
narcotic.
