PosroFF1cE NEEDS MORE ROOM.

The local postoffice needs more room and proposals to lease premises for poStoffice purposes for term of either five or 10 years, as can be agreed upon, have been posted in the postoffice de- partment. The postmaster will fur nish plans and specifications on re- quest. The proposition to lease prem iSeS must include the furnishing of light, heat and water, also a complete pOstoffice outfit, consisting of boxes, fixtures and furnishings, sufficient to properly conduct the business, includ- ing fire and burglar-proOf safe. It is said that the reason for posting this notice is because the business has out grown it's present quarters; it IS also fnconveDient as there is lack of light. There has been steady increase of the business transacted at the post office, much of this owing to the better times, the increase of population and also largely to the establishment of the rural free delivery system, for as 1t is now the majority of the mail for Bedding people passes through the Bethel office. All this means more work for the postoff1ce employees and conseq uently more room needed.

BOY HAD NOT UNDERSTOOD.
Pretty Phrase That Was Most Woe
fully Misunderstood.

That the effect of a choice and ap-

and ofttimes woefully misinterpreted
is well Illustrated in an incident con-
nected with the death of Virginia
lawyer.
During the mans illness the wires
were disconnected which attached the
bell to the old-fashioned pull knob
on the front door.
A messenger boy came to the house
one morning and began pulling at
the bell. There was no response.
He continued to jerk the ancient knob
vigorously. A white-haired gentlc an
finally appeared. who raised his hand
warnipgly and said:
MY boy, the silver cord has been
severed"

HEALER LOOKS LIKE CHRIST.
American Millionaire Said to Be Pa
tient of Mysterious Carpenter.

Erfuart, Germany.-Among the re
cent patients of Ausmeier, a carpenter
of this town who claims to have mir.
aculous healing powers. is an Ameri
can millionaire, according to a local
newspaper, who has brought his fami
ly with him to be cured of a heredi
tary ailment. The paper does not give
the Americans name and Ausmeier is
dumb on the subject.
Ausmeier is a remarkable looking
man, with face and head strikingly
resembling those which Christian art
generally subscribes to Jesus Christ.
These are resemblances he has cul-
tivated to such an extent that people
who see him for the first time are said
to be struck with awe at the majesty
of his appearance.
He uses simple and harmless In
gradients in his healing. maintaining
that 1t is not the medicine that cures
but the words he utters and the
prayers he offers. The remarkable
thing about it is that many cures have
been wrought and people from far and
near are streaming to him for assist.
ance. He has now taken to wearing
an oriental looking robe which he has
embroidered with curious cabalistic
signs.

A BILLION FOR EQUIPMENT.
Railroads Striving to Meet Demands
Made Upon Them.

Chicago railways will
spend close to billion dollars in the
present year in an extraordinary eff
fort to secure equipment. power and
track. including new road, to make it
possible to handle the great amount
of traffic being offered to them.
If the car and locomotive builders
and the steel railmakers do their part
the year will be record one in the
three Industries mentioned.
1t Is estimated that if the manufac.
turers are equal to the test, between
34O,60 and $4,000 freight cars will
be added to the total equipment of the
railways of the United States, fully
5000 passenger cars will be built and
more than 5000 locomotives will be
added to the steam power which Is
now available.
1t is estimated that the railroads
will pay full 100000 for steel rails
in the present year. If this proves
true the steel mills will have turned
out about 100000 tons of that prod
uct. The output last year was about
3A million tons. 1t is said the west
ern roads will use fully 1000. 900 tons
of rails and that nearly 100000 tons
of this will be rolled in the eastern
mills.

BED SHEETS MUST BE LONG.
Texas Law Applying to Hotels and
sIeepers Effective July IL.

Austin. Tex-The nine-foot beo
sheet bill which was passed at the
regular session of the Legislature has
been approved by Gov. Campbell and
win become effective July II. On that
date all top sheets on beds in hotels
and lodging houses and on all sleep
ing berths In this state must be nine
feet long.
The point has been raised that
there Is no requirement in the bill as
to the width of the sheet and that II
is possible that those who are not dis
posed to live up to the spirit of the
law may make the sheets nine feet
long and only nine inches wide.
Senator George b. Griggs, of Hous-
ton, is the author of this new law. He
says that there is nothing freakish
about the measure; that it should not
be made the butt OF jokes.
This state has made much advance
ment in sanitary matters during the
last few years. All sleeping cars are
required to be fumigated at the end OF
each trip and at all terminal points in
the state. This applies also TO blan-
kets and other bedding of the cars.
All public buildings. such as school
houses, court houses. jails, railroad
depots. etc. must be disinfected under
direction of the state health depart
ment at stated intervals. All railroad
passenger coaches must also be dis.
infected and kept clean and provided
with cuspidors, one for every other
seat Each cuspidor must contain a
liquid disinfectant

Laundry work at home would be

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
