RURAL DELIVERY PATRONS,
Are Expected to Work For
Good Roads.
PostOffice Department Says Routes May
Be Abolished on Account OF
Bad Roads.
WASHINGTON, Dec. II, 1902.

WASHINGTON, Dec. II, 1902.
To Patrons OF the Rural Free Delivery.
l. The Department looks to the
patrons of the Rural Free Delivery
service, who are receiving the bene-
fits OF the service, to use their utmost
personal endeavors, and also to ex-
ert their influence with Road Super
visors, or with those officials who are
responsible for the condition of the
highways, to the end that the roads
Travelled by rural carriers may be al
ways kept open and in such passable
shape that the service can be regular
ly punctually performed.
,. Should the regularity of the
service be needlessly destroyed as the
result of inattention and lack OF care
bestowed on the highways, the per-
manent withdrawal OF the delivery
will very likely result.
3. Rural letter carriers are requir-
ed to serve their routes regularly at
all seasons of the year and in every
kind Of weather when it can be done
without seriously imperiling their
lives or the U. s. mail which is in
their custody.
4. Patrons should clear away the
snow drifts, so that carriers can drive
up to and reach boxes from their
vehicles without dismounting.
.. 1t is not part OF the carriers
duty to break out the roads after a
severe snow storm.
6. Rural carriers are expected to
theoretically try to serve theirroutes
even though the conditions may be
extremely adverse, and any undue
lack OF zeal on their part should be
promptly brought to the attention
of this office for such action as the
merits of the case require.
Respectfully,
A. W. MACHEy,
Gen'l Superintendent.

Skin, Scalp and Blood
Humours
Speedily Cured by Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills
When the Best Physicians and

The agonizing itching and burning

scaling, as in psoriasis ; the loss of hair
and crusting Of the scalp, as in scaled
head; the facial disfigurements, as in
pimples and ringworm ; the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety Of worm
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and

almost superhuman virtues to success
FULLY cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
Is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers aud humour
remedies of the civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales, and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take the Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood.
This complete treatment, costing but
one dollar, affords instant relief, per-
mits rest and sleep In the severest
forms of eczema and other itching,
burning and scaly humours of the skin,
scalp and blood, and points to a speedy,
permanent and economical cure when
all other remedies and the best physi.
clans fail.

New York, Ian 4 According to
figures compiled by Uncle Sam farm
ers of the United States have taken
from the soil this year crops having
value of S2,567, S95, 416. The
crops are the largest ever gathered
in the history OF this country, accord
ing to the experts at the produce ex-
change, and their value is unpreced-
ented in the annals of trade.
When the official and final crop
figures OF the government were post
ed on the bulletin board telling of a
two and a hall billion corn crop, a
bumper wheat yield and an unex-
ampled harvest Of potatoes, barley,
hay and oats, old time brokers dis.
cussed the marvellous growth Of the
country.
The crop of oats breaks all records
with 9S7 ,S42, ZIP bushels. Potatoes
one OF the household necessities, also
breaks records with a crop OF
2S4 ,632,TS bushels, more than
double the crop OF last year. The
same thing can be said OF barley, rye
and buck wheat.

the farm value of wheat, for which
the farmers have disposed OF half
holdings, is 60 cents a bushel. Oats
have netted the farmer about -
