for what they have done. The ranks
OF the old soldiers are thinning rap

in the ranks. Death will soon have
claimed the last remaining veteran Of

A LIMITED PARCELS POST.

A LIMITED PARCELS POST.
The demand for a parcels post of
some sort will not down, no matter
what the express companies, the mail
order houses. the fourth-class post
masters or country merchants may
say. The absurdlty of being able to
send parcels to almost any part Of the
world at a less rate than The same

man who cannot see any way to en-
act a sensible parcels post law.
There is no effort that we know of

The effort is confined to securing
some sort of a limited parcels post,
something on the lines Of mat rec
commended by Postmaster Won Meyer
two years ago. By a limited parcels
posi- we mean a parcels posi- nj low
rates. starting ont from a town that
has rural routes. and limited 10 the
rural routes that cmanate from that
town.
Such a bill is now before congress.
1t is not necessary for us Ia 20 into
the details of this bill. Suffice it to
say that it con~solidates third and
fourth class matter for rural route
purposes, and limits the weight to
eleven pounds, without regard to
size. The rates are as follows: For
packages Weighing . ounces or less,
| cent; 4 ounces or less, . cents;
s ounces or less. 3 cents; IL ounces
or less, A cents; 1 pound or less, 5
cents: over ] pound, . cents plus .
cents for each additional pound in
excess of / pound.
We cannot for the life of us see
how the enactment of this law will in
any way injuriously affect the bust
ness OF merchandising in the coun-
try. Under this law the really up
to-date merchants would bring in
goods by the carload by freight, and
would be ready To supply by mail
any reasonable demand that the
farmer would make. 1t would cost
the mail order house SIG to send
an ele%ven-pound package to the
farmer by mail, and about half that
amount or a little more If sent by
express.
The persons whom it would help
are the farmers and the country
merchants who are up-to-date. The
persons who would naturally be OPP
posed to IL are those interested in
the mail order houses and express
companies. We have had reason
to believe for some time past that
funds to organize the retail merch-
ants association to oppose this bill
This is the only way that W. can
account for some suggestions that
were made to the County Life Com
mission in the way of paying it's e
penses. We have no proof of this
that we can quote, but there ore some
things of which one may be pretty
firmly convinced without having proof
that would stand in a court of justice
and this is one of them.-Wallace's

A BAND? WHY NOT?

Falls City showed its appreciation of
good music in the way the people
turned out Thursday evening to hear
the Humboldt band play. The per-
sons so constituted as not to be
able TO enjoy music and especially
band music are happily very few.
Band music, not only offers a per-
fectly harmless variety of amusement
but also bears with it what makes
for culture and refinement. 1t is
n real handicap for Falls City to be
without a good band. Outside help
is not always available when needed
and is necessarily expensive. Decora.
ton Day will suffer. because unfor-
~tunately the expense of hiring a
band has compelled the G. A. r. to
make shift without. This ought not
be. In fact it need not be. Falls
City needs a good band. She needs
a band more just now than ever be-
fore. The interests of the Greater
Falls City" must not be lost sight
of. There are competent and will
ing young men prepared to do their
part. What is needed is a capable
leader and instructor. One en-
thusiastie brother has offered a lib
eral donation for a band fund. With
the item of expense accounted for the
work will go forward. The time is
short. Who will be next 10 boost
fer a Falls City band?

TINTED GLASS CURE

Philadelphia Physicians Dis

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. March "a
discovery OF great value 20 those whose
sight has been impaired by working un-
der artificial light has recently been
made in this city.
II was learned today that amethyst
tinted lenses made from window glass
would cure blindness caused by working
on bright metals and under artificial
light.
The glass I'm question Is simply ordi-
nary window panes that have been IN
use sor over seventy-five years. In that
time IL has been turned an amethyst
tint 5y the direct Tavs Of thc sun.
Philadelphia eye specialists are 0ptl-
niStic in their claims for the glass.
which is termed by the cculists and
opticians THE Philadelphia glass.
Some Of the best-kuown physicians m
the city are using II in their practice.
and say that IL has proved wonderfully
effective. and that the eye disorders tnat
IL will relieve and cure are many.
Although the first announcement or
the good results from the use OF this
glass was made only about six months
ago, II has received widespread atten-
lion. and Philadelphia physicians who
were among the first to give Il a trial
have received letters from other doc
tors in all paris Of the globe asking
for samples OF the glass with which 10
