FIGURES DEFEND
RURAL SERVICE
Postofice Officials Say 1t

in Revenue.

The officials Of the Postohice Depart-
ment arc quoting figures 10 disprove
the claim that the rural delivery ser
vice has teen responsible Tor the de-
hcit in thL postal revenues l. recent
years
In 1891, Il 5 stated, when the expendi-
ture on aCcoInt of rural delivery was

All. T79. while in 1877 the expenditure for
rural delivery had increased to S26, 49,
524 and the deficit had decreased to

It IS contended that the establishment
Of a rUral delivery route brings with
IL a great influx Of mail 20 tie locality

by an increase IN the outgoing mail. II
is also said that since the Inauguration
OF rural delivery there has been a saw

ing Of small po5toftces ami the discon-
tinu0nce Of star routes
There IS a great falling or in the
number Of petit ons for the establish
ment of new routes compared with z
few years ago. due principally 10 the
fact that in the older States the terri
tory available for rural delivery has
oeeE pretty well covered
II the fast developing sections OF the
West. however, there is an increased
demand for rural service For example
I'D 10 October 10 1902. there were only
nineteen rural routes IN operation in
the Territory Of Oklahoma. while on
March I, 1908. the state OF Oklahoma
had SOC routes. with eighty-four petit

The reports tc the department OF the

CAMBRIDGE CREW DIETS;
ORANGES THE CHIEF FOOD

LONDON, March 30--It was said last
year that a daily diet OF eggs gave Cam
bridge the victory in the university boat
race. This year the eight is going strong
on oranges. The Cambridge crew. 1t is
believed, has saved itself from influenza
by the use Of oranges. and now they
form a regular feature in the diet of the
oxford men. They squeeze the juice of
the orange into tumbleTs and drink il
with or after their meals.
Some doctors have a great belief in the
hygienic virtues OF the orange. It is
