HUNDRED UNAVAILABLE

An average of from 100 tinselled
post cards Of the popular souvenir and
gift type are sent to the dead letter
Office from the local postofiice in one
single week. These large figures will
even be exceeded in the next few
weeks during the Christmas prepara-
lions, for which reason the local au-
thorlties have called attention to the
act which forbids their reception in
the mail.
This law requires that all post cards
decorated with tinsel, mica or other
glistening material, be placed I'm en-
velopes, sealed and accompanied by
two cents postage before they may be
sent through the mails. The regula-
ton was made after several railway

ture on Premature Old Ago and Its
Causes"
This change" continued DR.. Kress,
is one OF the real causes for the de-
generacy OF the present day. The
plain, simple foods OF former days no
longer satisfy, and have been gradu-
ally exchanged for highly seasoned
and complicated dishes. IL has been
observed that similar causes among
lower creatures bring about similar
results.
Hens do not lay eggs when they
are overfed and are not encouraged
to obtain food for themselves by their
own exertion. Animals that are ao-
customed to gather their own food
seldom breed when in captivity. The
history Of past nations also clearly
indicates that hard work and plain food
improve the health. and that the de.

BIG TASK FOR
COLDSBOROUCH
Collector Ready to Shake Down
Maryland and Delaware
Firms for Corpora
ton Tax

Collector Phillips Lee Goldsborough and
office in Baltimore are preparing to shake
down the corporations and firms doing
business in this district which includes
Delaware, in an effort to secure for the
Government the amounts dut It under the
recently enacted corporation tax law. IN
der this law all corporations and concerns
whose net receipts are over 5000 a year
will be required TO pay in taxes per cent.
OF such income.
While the department has been engaged
in the work Of preparing list OF the
corporations in the district for some time
it will probably be several weeks yet be-
fore the blanks 70 be filled in by the cor
poration heads will be sent out, owing to
the big territory which the Maryland
district comprises.
It is this fact that is causing the great
est delay. as the broadness of the cor
poration laws Of Delaware has resulted in
a large percentage of tho corporations Of
the country coming to this State to in
corporate While the list is not yet COM
plete, more than 10000 corporations have
been discovered that we're incorporated
under the laws Of the Blue Hen State. AS
the Collector will be required to levy toll
only on those concerns which are operat-
ing within the district, the task Of elimi-
mating the foreign concerns is an excep-
tionally huge one.
Collector Goldsborough says that mas
much as he has not yet any Of the blanks
that are to be filled out by the corpora
lions subject to the tax, he does not know
the exact question that will be asked in
an effort to arrive at the amount Of the
tax to be levied It is understood, however
that the return must show total paid UT
stock, total indebtedness, gross amount
Of income, total expenditures, total losses
interest paid on bonded or other indebted
ness and the amount paid for taxes anc
net income.
The return will be for the calendar veal

the little town of Patch Grove from de-
struction when the plant OF the A. f.

stroyed by fire. When the 5OO-odd people
