USE OF AUTOMOBILES
EMPLOYED IN THE COLLECTION
OF LETTERS.

Two subjects of general Importance are
treated at length in the annual report OF
Frank II. Hitchcock, first assistant post
master general, which has just been made
public. They are the proposition for the in
crease of the salaries Of clerks in pos.
Offices and the proposed abandonment OF
the back stamp on letters and postal
cards. Prior to the publication of the re-
port Mr.. Hitchcock authorized the use OF
the parts of his report respecting those
questions, and they have been covered fully
by The Star.
Mr.. Hitchcock reports that the use OF
specially equipped automobiles in the col
lection service in Baltimore has proved 81
successful that the department now is plan
ming for a similar collection service in sew
eral other cities. 1t is believed that in
large cities automobiles can be advanta-
geousiy substituted to a considerable ex-
tent for the horse carts now employed sc
generally in collecting mail BY the use OF
automobile vehicles u much speedier col
lection service can be organized without
added expense. Plans are being considere
also for the introd of the automo-
bileS in other branches of the city postal
system, with the purpose of quickening as
far as possible the handling of the mails
PROFESSIONALLY, the motor vehicle can be
made an important factor in the postal
enterprises"
The report shows that at the close of the
fiscal year $3.50 post offices We're in opera
ton, and that the total number of en-
ployes, not including rostmasters ana as
SStant poStmaSterS. was nearly 1JJ0f0.
The total personnel of post offices of all
classes aggregated 2)5, 2SS.
Great Gain in Revenue.
The gain in revenue from the post Offices
during the year-about SO OOJ,00)-was I'M
expectedly large. and the returns FOR the
first four months of the present fiscal year
indicate that the unprecedented gain is
Mr.. Hitchcock points out that the adui-
tional appropriations requested of Congress
scarcely will be sufficient to maintain the
service. Should any considerable extern
sion of postal facinties become necessary -
he says, ''stiil larger apI ropriations will be
necessary"
In view of the large increase of the bust
ness of the department, Mr.. Hitchcock says
a larger administrative organization is i'm
perative. He urges that the present force
of his bureau be strengthened by the APP
pointment of additional high-grade men nd
the appointment of a larger force of field
agents to keep the department in closer
touch with the postal needs of the country
Mr.. Hitchcock says that while the gross
receipts of city delivery Offices were 1906
per cent greater in 1906 than in the pre-
ceding year. the cost of the service was but
5.07 per cent more than in 1905, and the av-
erage per cent of cost of service to gross
receipts was but 1873, as against 1905 IN
1870

Pierce's Favorite Prescription, as is
amply attested by thousands of un-
solicited testimonials contributed by
grateful patients who have been
cured by it of leucorrhea. painful

other dlsplacements, liberation of

cines had failed.

found in our American forests. The
processes employed in their manu-
tacture were original with DR..
Pierce, and they are carried on BY
skilled chemists and pharmacists
with the aid of apparatus and appli-
ances specially designed and built for
this purpose. Both medicines are
entirely free from alcohol and all
other harmful, habit-forming drugs.
A full list of their ingredients is
printed on each of their wrappers.
They are both made of such native
medicinal roots as have received the
strongest endorsement and praise
tor their curative virtues from the
most prominent writer's on NATE
RlA MEDlCA in this country.
What is said of their power to cure
the several diseases for which thew
are advised may be easily learned by
sending your name and address to
DR.. K. V. Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y, for
a little booklet which he has COM
piled, containing copious extracts
from numerous standard medical
books, which are consulted as au-
thorities by physicians of the several
schools of practice for their guild
ance in prescribing. 1t is FREE
TO ALL. A postal card request
will bring it.
You don't have to rely solely upon
the manufacturers say-so as TO the
power of Dir. Pierce's medicines to
cure, as with other medicines sold
through druggists. You have the
disinterested testimony of host of
the leading medical writers and
teachers. Send for this copious tes-
timony. 1t can be relied upon to be
truthful because it is entirely disin-
terested.

Even in the chronic or Lucrative
stages of these affections it is gen

In fact, the Golden Medical Dis

successful constitutional remedy for
all forms of catarrhal diseases
known to modern medical science.
In chronic Nasal Catarrh DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy fluid should be used
for washing and cleansing out the

mucous lining membranes. This
combined local and general treat
ment will cure very large percent

AS to the "Favorite Prescription"

DR.. Pierce believes that our Ameri-
can forests abound in most valuable
medicinal roots for the cure of most
of our obstinate and most fatal dis
eases, if we would properly investi-
gate them; and, in confirmation of
this firm conviction, he points with
pride to the almost marvellous cures

Demand for Farmers Bulletins.

There has been a decided falling off in the
number of farmers bulletins available for
congressional distribution. This fact is
brought out in the report of Mr.. George w.
Hill, the editor of the Department of Agri-
culture, just submitted. MIR. Hill says there
has been a marked increase in the demand
among congressman for the bulletins with
out any corresponding increase IN the ap-
propria ton for them. Most of the members
of Congress now draw their full quota of
bulletins, and there is not, as in former
years, anything left over to be added TO
the RI serve allotment.
