A NEW RULING,

The postoffice department has
made the following new ruling,
which says that mail contractors
must reside on or near their
routes:
The large number Of failures to
properly carry the mails, as re-
quired by contracts, on the part
OF speculative contractors who do
not reside upon the routes on
which the service is to be per-
formed, having demonstrated to
the satisfaction Of the Department
that proposals for carrying the
mails from that class Of bidders
90 not provide the Sufficient
guarantees for faithful perform
ance" which are contemplated by
law, it is ordered that no bid sub
mitted under an advertisement
hereafter issued for carrying the
mails on a star route, or on a
screen-wagon route, shall be CON-
sidered unless the bidder resides
on or contiguous to the route on
which the service is to be per-
formed, or shall file with his bid
an agreement that IN event of the
service being awarded to him he
will reside on or contiguous to
said route and give his personal
supervision to the performance of
the service,

Golffor Chronic Conditions.


Every physician recognizes the difficulty
of providing suitable out-of-door exer-

tons. The prescription Of a certain dis
lance that q patient is to walk is dill
ficult for him to follow. because
the mere walking without pur-
noses is. for the majority of people.
irksome. The more active exercises, such
as horseback riding, tennis, baseball or
cricket, are beyond the physical capaci-
ty of many patients, even when so vio-
lent an exercise is not absolutely con-
tra-indicated by their physical condition
Golf, as a physical exercise. presents
many distinct advanta ges which me- Ike it
especially adapted to those having. chron-
ic diseases in which moderate exercises
carried to the point of tiredness is trdf-
Gated. It's chief advantages are that it is
an out-of-door sport and that lt.oan be
carried on all of the year, with the e:scep-
tion Of the coolest months III the winter,
or when the ground is very mu Idly il, the
early spring.> It can be played nearly
as well upon a wet as a dry day The
exercise is for both the upper and lower
extremities and need. never be so vio-
lent as to overtax the cart. The sport
itself is sufficiently interesting to engage
the attention and to afford some enter
talnmeat. Taken all IL all. this latest
fad may prove great boon to many
chronic invalids, as 1t is temptation to
out-of-door exercise of a moderate sort,
free from harmful consequences.-Medt-

OSTRAClsE TRUST MAGNATES.
Col. Bryan Thinks the idea Should b.

NOl. DIy Stti An1 NJ : ~ A>AS'-
Encouraged.
ST. LOUIS, MO-. jar. 15.-Colonel w: J.
BRYAN and President Arthur I. Hadley,
Of Yale University, were interviewed to-
day relative to the 1atter.:s proposal to
ostracize trust magnates. Both are
agreed on the idea that social recognition
should be denied to any man engaged In
a trust.or other business enterprise mimi
cal to the public welfare. and that the
public mind should be educated to see
those evils that exist in the trust system.
Colonel Bryan said:
..The idea is a good one and should
be encouraged A man who tries to rob
the public by means Of trust or by
wrecking q bank or railroad shouiu.
no more be countenanced by society than
a plain highwayman. The thing needed
is to awaken and educate the public mind
and conscious on such matters.
..when the people understand the harm
that there really is in trusts they will
be ready to apply remedy. There are
things which were permitted In society
twenty-five years ago which are not toll
Grated at all to-day. The change has
been wrought through education a.
similar change will take place when the
people learn the true moral status OF the
trust question.
