Barnum Was Right American People looked
Be Humbugged.

1t is not surprising that so many
people have to be lead around be-
cause of being blind when anyone
with few specs can pass off success
fully as an oculist or eye specialist,
representing himself as some noted
oculist or specialist, nephew or son
of specialist.
We are trying to impress on your
mind that specialists do not run
about over the country from house
to house or otherwise, but you will
find their professional card in a repu-

CARRIERS NOT TO BLAME.
Have Orders Not to Take Loose Coins
Placed in Mail Boxes.


Numerous complaints have been
made to Postmaster Lewis because
rural carriers leave mail in the boxes
when pennies are left loose to pay
the postage
The carriers are working under or
ders from the office of the postmaster
general, and if patrons along their
routes are obliged to put coins in
their boxes they should either place
them in a small box or wrap them in
paper. Rural patrons are urged to
keep supply of stamps or stamped
envelopes on hand, and deposit their
mail in their respective boxes before
the carrier is due, so as not to delay
him. This would insure prompt and
efficient service.

Congress finally passed the state

the president credit for their enact
ment. While the railroad bill is not

ton, IL contains its best features,

there was no dissenting vote. Henry
Clews. the Wall street authority,
says: "A few years ago such a law
would have caused CONSERVATION, but
It's passage has been discounted
thoroughly. and as railroad officials
and investors become accustomed to
It's provisions, its restrictions will be-

time anticipated. II is certainly the
best bill that could have been pass

roads; in fact 1t may prove benefit

say there has never been a congress
where the president has secured the
