In our style of climate with its sudden
changes of temperature rain, wind and
sunshine often intermingled in q single
day-it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, half

cause. A bottleof Boschee's German
Syrup kept about your home for imme-
date use will prevent serious sickness,
a large doctors bill, and perhaps death,
by the use Of three or four doees. For

A Just Tribute

,Waltcr Wclman in the Chicago cor,l-Iierall> J
VT Is NOT too high praise to say
that Charles Emory Smith has
u made the best postmaster gem
eral the United States has ever
had, and that the years of his admin
istrution are epochal in the history of
the Postotiice department. The McKir-
ley administration. in some respects the
most remarkable the country has
known, left it's impress upon every de-
partment of the government, for all Of
them shared in the history that Was
made so amazingly and so fast in those
days. The state department did Won
darful things in diplomacy, the treas
,ry in finance. the War department in
military matters, and what the Navy
department did made the whole world
wonder. II wns the same in the Post :
Office department. For the first time
in the history of the United States tho
seas. To Cuba, to Porto Rico, to Ha,
wuii, 10 Guam and to the Philippines
went the American postotlice and its
methods, giving those islands for the
first time in their existence modern,
cheap and efficient postal service.
Three things make memorable Mr..
Smiths administration of the Postoilice
Department.. He extended the postal SER
vice beyond the seas ana made the do
mestiC letter rate embrace the new pos
sessions so that Il letter goes from
Boston 10 Manila as cheaply as it does
from Boston to Worcester. The eflici-
ency of the colonial postal service is
the admiration of postal administra-
tors throughout the world, When the
allied forces occupied Peking, following
the soldier came the United States mail
carrier, and for a long time the allies
hai to depend upon the United States
for their n!ail, The efficiency displayed
aroused the enthusiasm of Sir Robert
Hart. who WAS generous in his praise
of American methods.
Not less important has been the es-
