MERCANTILE PACKAGE CHECKS.

On April I, the Pennsylvania Railroad will inaugurate a
system of package checking in its baggage rooms at a number
of its principal stations as an especial accommodation to its
many patrons living along its lines who shop in these A1arger
cities.
Under this new system, the mercantile houses in These
cities may obtain from the Baggage Agent at their station a
suppIysof special tags for which the nominal charge of FIVE
cents per tag is made.
Patrons of the stores desiring to have their purchases
forwarded to the railroad station, to be called for at a later
hour of the day, may arrange with the store people to have
one of these special tags attached to the package, which is
then forwarded to the baggage room of the station by the
store.
The purchaser receives a duplicate check, similar to those
now in use in the regular checking of baggage, which he sur
renders when claiming the package at the station.
The storekeeper also receives a portion of the check from
the Baggage Agent as a receipt for the safe keeping of the
package, thus afording purchaser, storekeeper, and the railroad
all security possible.
These special checks are on sale by the Baggage Agent at
Newark market ST.

nursery days, April 8 and 10, will meet
with gratifying success.
The worth of the day nursery cannot
be estimated. Regarding its place and
power in the country. l would say that
the scope of The day nursery idea ON
serves the home life of the poor
mothers who must work, and it is so
valuable in It's educational influence at
the most important period of the
child's life that those who are ac-
quainted with it's beneficent work are
anxious that it shall become better
known and more fully adopted.
The primary idea of the nursery.
merely to house and feed babies, was a
sphere so limited that there was little
to attract attention from outside
workers. but the development, which
now includes many forms of manual
training, educational and n~eighborhood
work, has touched the interest of other
societies n has commanded their CO.
operation.
The day nursery claims to be an inn
portant element in civic life. Taking

other pupils who, enter the lower
grades.
