r. r. D. NOTES.
A Few tems That Will Be of Interest
To the Rural Patrons and Others

A-fcw items that are Of special in
terest TO rural carriers and to patrons
OF the rural routes were contained in
the last issue of the n F. d. News,
the official organ of the National
Rural Letter Carriers Association,
published in Chicago.
According to the news and as pre-
ViOusly announced through Associated
Press dispatches, the move for an in
crease in salary for carriers. failed
but move was made that helps them
out little in the matter of holidays.
This was included in a paragraph in
the postal bill which was agreed upon
in conference. This provides. that af
ter July LIST, next, the leave of absence
authorized by law to postal employees,
Shall be construed exclusive Of Sun
days and holidays II is possible by
this provision for carriers to secure
twenty days annual leave if said
leave is arranged to include certain
Sundays and holidays. For instance.
it would be possible during the first of
July to take nineteen days off The
leave Of absence is fifteen days. but
between the first and the 10th of the
month there are three SUNDAYS hnd
one holiday. The fact that this au-
nual leave of absence is granted 10
carriers on full pay, makes it double
appreciated and welcome.
An effort is being made by CON
gresham Victor Murdoch of Kansas,
to have a unique plan adopted for
taking the census. He proposes that
congress authorize the carriers to
take the 1910 census and future cen
suses of the population along their re-
spective routes in counties where there
is a complete county system of rural
free delivery, the compensation for
such services to be the same amount
as now allowed appointees under the

DOAN,S KIDNEY PILLS

the early tenets of Orpheus and Ply
thagoras. But flax. that cleanest and
best production Of the field. is used
not only for the inner and outer cloth
ing of the most holy priests Of the
Egyptians. but also for covering sa-
cred objects"
Plutarch tells us that the priests of
Isis wore linen on account of its pu
rity. and he remarks how absurd and
inconsistent would have been their
conduct if they had carefully plucked
the hairs from their own bodies. and
yet clothed themselves in WOOL which
is the hair OF sheep. The same writ
er also mentions the opinion Of those
who thought that flax was used for
clothing because the color of its bios

suppOsing that the persons concerned

they would choose linen as most suit

The headaches and dizzy feelings
that trouble so many persons. are
often but symptoms of kidney com
plant.
Kidney diseases are very treacher-
Gus. They come on silently, gain
ground rapidly, and cause thousands
of deaths that could have been pre-
vented by treatment in the beginning.
Nature gives early warnings of
every disease, if you would but note
and heed them. Backache, twinges of
pain when STOPPING or lifting head
aches, faint spells and urinary dis
orders are among the first warnings
of kidney trouble. ..f a~
If these signals are unheeded, there
comes a steady, dull, heavy aching
in the back and l0ins.. a noticeable
weakness and loss of flesh, rheumatic
attacks, weakening of the sight, irreg-

HIGHLAND CANAL MEETING

large number Of the water users
of the Highland canal were present at
the meeting in the Opera house on
Saturday afternoon last, which was
for the purpose of discussing the
problem of digging a new canal with
the feed canal.
r.. w. Wilbur was appointed a chair
man of the meeting and George w.
Silverthorn acted as secretary While
the session was an enthusiastic one,
and it was evident that each holder in
the canal desired the building Of the
new ditch, still no definite plan was
arrived at because of the fact that
none of the government engineers who
We're expected to be present, failed to,
appear. Consequently those present
had no data upon which to base imme-
date action.
A motion was made that the land
owners interested in this proposition,
assume the expense of building the
new canal, providing the government
will. furnish the engineers necessary to
superintend the undertaking. This
motion met the favor of all i'm attend
ance, and was readily carried. There

The cooling quality of linen as
compared to cotton is due TO the fact
that the structure of the flax fibre
makes linen Il good conductor of heat,
and one that freely condenses the va

the fact that the cooling quality of lin

well known, it is only lately that an

: BARBACUED MEAT.

VIM. Underwood, who for several
months past conducted a successful
furniture and second hand business, is
making arrangements to handle bar
bacured meats. Mr.. Underwood els
now busily engaged in erecting a suit
able building for this purpose or the
lot just east of his present place Of
business.
All arrangements for preparing diff
ferent kinds of meats i'm this delicious
form are being perfecter.
The new structure will comprise two
rooms, one to he used for the prepara-
ton of the meat, and the front one
for salesroom. The meats treated
in this manner are desirable at all
seasons of the year. and more especi-
ally so during, the warm summer
months.

The one reason why linen fibre
has never been made in this country
is that the European process would
be impossibly expensive unless car
ried ont by labor of the very lowest
cost. There is no labor in the Unit
ed States cheap enough for this pur-
pose and for this reason Americans
have been sending over $200O0.0 900 a
year to Europe for linen New mills
have been built in Massachusetts to
operate the Nudge process. and there
is AIN assured market for the millions
of dollars worth of flax straw that
we have been burning uD for years,
and a chance to get linens for little
if any more than the present cost of
fine cotton fabrics"

census bureau. The pay for this
work would, of course, be in addition
to the regular salary drawn by the
carrier.
1t is Mr. MurdOck's belief that rural
carriers are better posted regarding
the people and their property, and
would accomplish the task by arriving
at more accurate conclusions than
those generally selected by the cen
sus bneau to do the work. The gath
ering of census statistics by the car
riers would in no way interfere with
their present duties.
The following very important ruling
on the delivery Of registered mail has
recently been made by the department.
The increasing frequency of com
plant from the public charging failure
on the part of postmasters and their
employees to observe and comply with
Endorsements on registered mall re-
stricting delivery Of the same to the
addresses in person, makes it neces-
sary to direct attention to the re-
quirements governing the delivery of
registered matter so Endorsed. and to
remind employees of the necessity of
strictly complying with the reguIa-
tions relative thereto.
Registered mail Endorsed for deliv-
cry to the addressee in person must be
delivered to no one but him. not even
upon his written order: and if it can
not be so delivered. it must be re-
turned, after the expiration of the
proper period, to the sender. 1t should
be noted that the word personal is
not to be continued to restrict delivery
to the addressee in person, but only
such Endorsements as indicate de-
mand to deliver to the addressee in
person
Considerable space is devoted in the
News to the matter of better roads
and the following is an extract from
one article.
Generally speaking, the Postoffice
Department estimates that so per cent
of the public highways in states where
rural delivery is generally in operation
are covered by rural routes, and as
rural service cannot be efficiently adj
ministered on roads that are not kept
in good order, road officials and rural
patrons are giving more attention to
this work than ever before in the hope
of maintaining their mail delivery
