An Important Postal Reform.

That there are today serious
abuses of the second class mail
rate is manifest to everybody. That
until very recently the Government
transported great mass of printed
matter as periodicals which have
not held the least relationship TO
bona fide newspapers or magazines
is undeniable
Much progress has been made by
the present Third Assistant Post
master General in compelling pub
fishers to conform with the pres
ent law. The saving accomplished
by that means is enormous. For
example, at the New York city post
Office alone last year, over 100000
600 pounds of printed matter not
properly classed with newspapers
and periodicals was charged the
regular rate for printed matter.
Three or four years ago that vast
bulk would have gone through the
mails at a cent a pound. Last year
it was paid for at the rate of four
cents a pound.
The law as it stands, however, is
out of date. 1t imposes too many
restrictions on publishers of every
class. There is too mucn confusion
in applying it. There is altogether
too much dissatisfaction with its
operation among responsible and
trustworthy business men. What
the department officials and pub
fishers all seek is a simpler law
which shall be easier for 4he pub
Usher to understand and the de-
partment to execute.
The plan now is to divide all mail
matter into three cIasses-letters.
printed matter, and merchandise.
with a special rate for newspapers
and periodicals.. As there is no
such abuse of the franking priv
Siege as the sending of safes, Iaund-
ry and live stock through the mails
by congressman, there is clearly
no need to reform such a misuse
of the mails.
To fix upon a new law which
shall correct the shortcomings of
the present law along the lines in
dicated, the Postmaster General
proposes a commission of seven
members-one each to represent
the Senate, the House, the depart
ment, the daily newspapers, the
weekly newspapers and similar pub
locations, and the magazines, with
a seventh member TO be chosen bv
the first six If the commission is
authorized these gentlemen will
find their task difficult. But il is a
task of the first Importance alike
TO the Government and the busi-
ness which three of the seven will
represent There is no disposition
on the part of the Administration
to lessen the legitimate privileges
OF real newspapers and real maya
zines-and as long as that is true
and the rate now established for
their benefit is put to an undesira-
bic use by The shippers of other
publications the publishers of
newspapers and magazines owe it
TO themselves as well as TO the
Government to help in the cause.

on all the fundamentals Of genuine
Christianity. Christian Science is in full
accord with the teachings Of Christ.
Christian Science not only discloses
the falsity OF ascribing to God the re
sponsibility for sickness and sin, but
II declares that sin. fear, and ignorance
are the prolific sources Of human ills.
II successfully teaches that all healing
is to be accomplished, not by an appeal
10 the supposed material power Of an
inert drug. but by reliance upon the
spiritual dynamics Of the Omnipotent
Mind, our Father in heaven.
All well know of the ravages made
upon the human system because Of sin.
Well has James said: Sin bringeth
forth death" Drunkenness. ucentiOus-
ness, hatred, and revenge induce a train
OF evils resulting in sickness and death.
II is not unreasonable, in view of the
wrong mental states involved 10 hold
that when those false conditions OF the
human mind nrc replaced by the MinG
Of the Lord, harmony will be restored
Minds Supremacy.
Christian Science next makes God
available as humanity's Helper by awak-
ening mortals 10 the Transforming pow
er. OF good thoughts. The Psalmist
knew the value Of right thinking when
he declared OF his Creator, How pre-
cious also are thy thoughts unto me.

example OF the transformations wrought

And even stronger is the promise Of

All Of the healing In Christian Sci

Therefore, priceless are the benefits

Reason for eack.suttoninq Waists.

Reason for Back-Buttoning Waists.
The waist fastened at the back has
taught women the use of their arms,
and has really done more for them
than Swedish gymnastic exercises.
In fact, it was asserted at a club
meeting the other day, so | am told,
that a young woman rather too
"dumpy" to suit her ideas of style"
had added half an inch TO her height
by manipulating the buttons between
her shoulders.
This only proves that every mode
must have some good reason for its
origin, and if we look carefully it will
be discovered that this manner OF
fastening waists was designed to-
lengthen the form divine and improve
lines that make for beauty and slen.
