RURAL ROUTE RULES.
What Might Be Done to Help s.

/ R vice. aih
Here is q set Of rules. compiled BY {
rural mail carrier In South Dickinson
1t is a pretty good bunch:
DIDO moi stamp letters, especial
ly in winter, as the carrier has taken
of his mitten and will spend some
time anyway in looking for pennies.
"2-Avoid placing the correct
change in the box, as the carrier al
ways carries a national bank in his
vest pocket.
"S II you desire two-cent stamp,
a postal card or three stamped en-
velopes, do not write your needs on a
slip of paper and thus annoy the car
rier. Just drop half dollar in the
box; the carrier is mind reader and
will know what you want.
Dive most earnestly advise buy
ing postal cards one at a time, re-
questing the carrier to wait while you
write-it is so pleasant when the Their
mometer is about zero. 1t is also
restful to the horse.
"5-Please attach your mail box to
tree or the fence, as these serve to
guide the carrier in storms and deep
snow.
"6-Report the carrier every time
you are not otherwise occupied. 1t
will make him alert and happy.
T-In telephoning to a carrier to
bring out couple of pillow points and
a twenty-five pound sack Of -four, just
drop a couple Of apples in the box
not dime, mind-as apples help to
make a horses hair look slick and
shiny. Never under any circum-
stances place spare rib in the box,
as the only record of a rural carrier
eating meat was made five years ago,
when farmer who had slaughtered
twenty-five pigs gave carrier liver
for his Thanksgiving dinner"

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medital fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
uuires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter-
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces Of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much

Sendinu Preserves

Often one wishes to send some pre-
serves. buffers or jellies to friends at
a distance, yet the very thought of
broken jars, etc, reminds one of
wreckage equal to sending explosives.
by mail. And yet it is the easiest
matter in the world to send one or
two quarts or gallons if desired by
placing the fruit in tin lard buckets
and sealing around the edge OF the
rim with passepartout paper binding.
In this manner fruit can be sent
from coast to coast and no damage
done. When it arrives it can be placed
in jars and properly sealed. Toma-
toes can be canned and passepartout
placed over the sealing wax and they
will not need to be taken from the
cans; in fact they could not, for they
would spoil This is a good idea for
country parents who wonder how they
can send their children different kinds
of fruits from home-and is anything
more appreciated?
