USE CARE IN MAILING.
Postmaster Advises Patrons to Write
Addresses, and Wrap Carefully All
Christmas Packages Registration
of Packages Safeguard.

Great care in wrapping and address
sing Christmas packages is urged upon
the patrons of the local postoffice by
Postmaster &C. II. Smith, in anticipa-
ton of the big Christmas rush that is
now setting in. Unless due care is talk
en- in wrapping it is an easy matter
for articles to get loose from their
wrappings, and thus lose their identity.
1t is impossible for the clerks to
decide what Christmas presents. should
go in which wrappers after they are
jumbled in a mass.
Neglect to place return cards on the
outside of packages, to address and
stamp packa ges properly, frequently
even to name the destination in the
address, is beginning to make all sorts
of trouble.
The result will be grief to the sender
and to the disappointed recipient, as
unavailable matter has to go to the
deadletter department at Washington
and if there is nothing found to iden-
tify either sender or receiver, that is
an end to the incident.
1t does not cost much to register
packages. and if a gift you are making
to some distant friend has much value
it is a safe precaution to register it.
The registry fee now is 10 cents.

If you suffer from Indigestion, belch-
ing of gas, lump of lead on stomach

vousness, constipation, or headache,
give Mcbride & Will so cents today
for box of Mi-o-na, the celebrated

After eating would be troubled for an

ney Drug Company, which completely
cured me. That was twelve months
ago and to this day I have not been
troubled again" j. B. Haskey, Calf
ney, S. c., April 20, 1909"
Mi-o-na is the best prescription for
stomach trouble ever written; not only
does it give quick relief, but it cures
permanently because it thoroughly
cleanses, renovates, builds up and puts
elasticity into the stomach and bowels.
Mi-o-na is put up in tablet form and is
small and easy TO swallow. Sold by
leading druggists everywhere and in
Marshalltown by Mcbride & Will

them. Test sample free. Address

Denbow husked forty-five bushels

BY swapping 125 bushels in the eight

aged When Struck BY Street Car.

Miss Grace Arney and her grand

was struck by north-pound Thir-
tenth street car, near the new con-
crete bridge, about g. 80 o'clock We'd
nesday evening.
The auto was struck so hard the
body was splintered and racked, and
the machine was turned end for end,
but was not upset The street car was
in charge of o. d. Taylor, motorman,
and Guy Bates conductor. Neither of
the two occupants was thrown from
the machine.
While going up a grade, just south
Of the bridge, the autos engine died,
and left the car standing on the street
car track DR. Mghell who was driv-
ing it, had noticed when he turned on
Thirteenth street that there was no
car in sight. AS he got out to crank
the car, street car hove in sight, run
of the automobile say.
Seeing the danger DR. Mighell start
ed TO run toward the street car, waving
his arms to attract the motorman'
attention. Miss Arney said this morn
ing that the street car passed DR..
Mighell. without his evidently having
been noticed, and crashed into the rear
of the auto. While the car was being
twisted about by the street car, It was
left on the edge Of the high grade al
the edge of the street. Miss Arney
also said that the tail light of the car
was burning, and she was certain of
this because DR.. Mighell had stopped
the car before turning on Thirteenth
street to regulate all of the lights
Superintendent Hovey said this
morning that the motorrnan had told
him that the tail light was not lighted
and that he did not see either DIR
Mighell or the car until he was upor
