The Best Remedy for Group

From the Atchison 0Hans.) Daily
Globe: This is the season when the
woman who knows the best remedies
for Group is in demand in every
neighbOrhoOd. One of the most terri
bic things in the world is to be awak-
ened in the middle of the night by a
whoop from one of the children. The
Group remedies are almost as sure to
be lost, in case of Group, as a revolver
is sure to be lost in case of burglars.
There used to be an old-fashioned
remedy for Group, known as hive syr-
up and tolu, but some modern moth
ers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost
so much. Itscauses the patient to

POSTAL REGULATIONS SHOULD
BE BETTER UNDERSTOOD

The Importance of better under
standing, on the part of the public n
general, of how the postal service is
conducted, and the rules and regula-
tiOns governing the same, is best
shown by the great number of letters
and parcels which find their desti-
nation in the dead letter office at
Washington, due almost entirely to
lack of care and ignorance on the
part of the senders. Almost nine mill
lion letters are annually sent to the
dead letter offise, and but small
portion can be delivered or returned
to the writer's. Before depositing a
letter or package in the mails, the
sender should see that the address
on the envelope or wrapper Is cor
rect; that the proper postage is
placed thereon; and that the send
er's name and address is placed on
the upper left hand corner. with n re-
quest for the return of the matter if
not delivered in certain time. Very
frequently persons neglect to sign
their names to their communications.
so that when they are opened by the
dead letter officials in Washington
there Is no means of aScertaining
TO whom the matter should be return
ed. The National Association of POST
masters. for the past few years. has
advocated the plan of having instruc-
tions given in the public schools on
the proper observance of the postal
regulations. This is being done now
in some of the larger cities OF the
country and is found to be an admir-
able plan. The annual report of the
commissioner of education, for the
year ending June so, 1902. states that
there were 1928, 23O pupils attending
the various schools of the country
If the postal system were made n
part of the regular instruction in the
public schools, there would be yer,
little work for the dead letter office
to perform.-PostaI News.

no cost could possibly be too great
in its carrying out.
She had given forth her edict con-
cerning the burying alive OF Nais. and
