The public desires parcels-post

panies do not desire such a system,
and up to the moment they have
been too strong for both the peo-
pie and the administration. Post
master General Meyers announce
ment of his plans for an early extern
sion of the parcels-mail service is
to be regarded with interest and
hope.
Four pounds is the present mas,
limit of weight in the United States.
Mr.. Meyer suggests an increase to
eight or 10 pounds. This is progress
In moderation. The limit in Great
Britain is II pounds, being held
down by railway influence in parlia-
ment. France carries parcels up to
% pounds and Germany stops at
10 pounds, packages to that weight
being transportable between the
home country, Austria and Switzer-
land.
When It comes to the question of
rates liberaly also balances for the
old world. To carry a four-pound
package anywhere within its limits
the United States charges Ga cents.
Great Britain will carry a parcel to
Shanghai by way of Egypt, the Suez
canal, India and Hongkong for IL
cents a pound And anywhere in
the United Kingdom parcels travel at
rates from " cents for one pound
to 25 cents for II pounds.
In Germany, Switzerland, France,
England, all about Europe, the tour
ist may send and receive promptly

gage; the people may effect their
minor transfers of commodities safe
ly and quickly and cheaply by mail.
In a long list of world powers the
United States alone, greatest and

How often do you hear these signi-

Is q cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
e. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Woman's Ills"
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found In the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression OF spirits, reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane OF woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia q. Pink

from native roots and herbs holds
the record for greater number OF
absolute cures of female ills than any
