RIO GRANDE HAS NOT LET
CONTRACT FOR DOUBLE TRACK

A contractor who has bid in for
Grande. from Adobe through Florence
to Canon City. says that the contract
has not yet been awarded by the COM
pany, and owing to the high prices of
labor and feed for horses, it may not
be until spring. The price of labor in
Colorado is about as high as it has
,een since the early days and men ex-
perience but little trouble in finding
work None of the bids for this work
is what might be called cheap. and it
is thought the Rio Grande prefers to
walt until spring so that more work
can be accomplished in a day.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY
MAN SwAMPED WITH NAIL

J. c. Lawrence. driver OF the rural
free delivery mail route. was unable
to make his rounds on Monday on ac-
count of the exceptionally heavy mail
he had
Starting In as he did n short time
before the holidays, Mr.. Lawrence has
had many obstacles TO overcome and
to meet owing to the
increased number of pieces OF mail he
has had to handle by reason of the
approach OF the Christmas season. He
has one of the most populous and
difficult rural routes in the United
States, having something like four
hundred and seventy families to serve
daily. and people who are accommo-
dated by him should make his task as
light as possible by placing their mail
boxes where they will be most CON
venient.
II is probably understood by most
people living along the line OF rural
free delivery route that they are en-
titled to have their mail brought to
them unless they have a properly con-
structed mail box and have 1t so
placed that all postal matter address,
ed to them can be put into 1t by the
carrier without getting out of his
wagon.

Nerve pillow.

A nerve" pillow is something
which physicians are said to recon-
mend and which can easily be made
at home. One needs only to gather
or buy a quantity of dried soporific
herbs, such as hops and catnip leaves,
bayberry and sweet fern, adding to
them sweet grass, balsam pine and
as many sweet smelling, sleepy
things as one can think of.
Dry, and powder, and mix all to-
gether. Then fill your nerve" pillow
with the Summerwood sachet powder
thus formed. STUFF the pillow with
down or cotton batting or feathers,
and either scatter the powder thick
through the filing, or, what is bet
ter, make sachet bags and fasten
them securely to the inner sides of

Quite recently there has been more
or less discussion as to the origin OF
the postage stamp.
Perhaps the most authentic story is
that which comes from the Post OF
fee Department at Washington.
1t appears that about siXty-five
years ago Rowland Hill was travelling
through one of the northern districts
OF England, and for a time was So
journing ut an inn where the post
man came with letter for young
daughter OF the inn-keeper. The
young miss turned the letter over and
over In her hand and after eXamin-
ing the envelope minutely, inquired
the price of the postage, which was
shilling, She sighed sadly ana re.
turned the letter to the postman, say
ing that Il was from her brother, but
that she had no money.
Mr.. Hill was an onlooker and was
touched with pity He paid the post
age, and his action seemed to embar-
rass the girl When the postman had
gone she stated to Mr.. Hill that some
signs marked on the envelope con-
veyed to her all she wanted to know,
and that as a fact there was no writ
ing enclosed In extenuation she
said that she and her brother had
contriyed code system of commune
eating, as neither of them were able
to pay post charges.
Mr.. Hill thought Of the results of
system which made such frauds pos
sible Before another day he had
planned a postal system upon the
present basis.-Harper's Weekly.

About the latter part Of July my whole
body began to itch. / did not take much
notice Of it at first, but it began to get
worse all the time, and then l began to
get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and
other remedies that were recommended
for skin humors, but l became worse all
the time. My hair began to fall out and
my scalp itched ali the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as l would get in
bed aud get warm, my whole body would
begin TO itch, and my finger nails would
keep it irritated and it was not long be-
fore | could not rest night or day. A
friend asked me to try the Cuticura Rene
dies, and / did, and the first application
helped me wonderfully. For about four
weeks ! would take hot bath every night
and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to
my whole body, and kept getting better,
