1895. or .2s per cent.
It has developed that electric street
railway companies In some cities de
mand extortionate rates for carry
Ing the mails. Concerning this sit
uation Mr.. Stewart says:
In view OF the demands made Is
feiectric car companies for higher
rates for service 1t is found desira-
Bile in some cases to substitute motor
wagon service"
| As the appropriation made by con-
gress for the railway mall service
can not be used for u motor wagon
service, it is recommended that
100000 be appropriated for the lat
ter service.
The total expense Of the foreign
mail service for the year was ST.
734665. The rates payable to the
steamship companies for the safe
conveyance of letter mail were 80
cents a pound to American steamers
and 4 francs a kilogram to foreign
steamers. During the year 355, S59,-
2S3 pieces of mail were sent from
the United States to foreign coun-
tries and 27O,2OO,32O pieces were re-
ceived. The amount collected by this
country in postage on mails sent
abroad was $S,627,095.
In a general discussion Of the for,
eign mail situation Mr.. Stewart says:
"OVer 20 per cent of the vessels

"Our shipping to South Americs

USEFULNESS AND LONG LIFE.

a doctor in ST. Louis holds out the
hope TO mankind that any one may
live to reach 120 years. or even a
greater age. il ne will observe certain
health rules. Foremost among his
suggestions is that patronage Of
quacks and unprincipled physicians
must be cut out" No one Of inIclli-
gence will question the soundnrss OF
this admonition And along with this
advice against the quack might be
included, with equal truth, proscrip-
ton OF the indiscrininate use Of
patent medicines, which are at work
every hour OF the twenty-foUr in filling
the cemeteries OF the land. Here are
other rules laid down Tor assuring
longevity to the human race:
The abolition OF poorly -cquipied hos
pitfalls and medical schools.
The enforcement OF the pure food
and drugs act.
Cold-storage regulation.
Municipal sanitation under govern
ment inspection.
Closer inspection of ali Immigrants
The main thread Of these rules, it
will be observed, is Improvement i'll
social sanitary and hygienic condi
tions, rather than directions by which
the individual may attain long life.
The desire for heightened years
ought to have a broader foundation 4
higher aim, than simply To live. The
days OF our years are three-scure wears
and ten; and il by reason OF strength
they be four-score years, yet is their
strength, labor and sorrow, for it is
soon cut eff, and We fly away"
Unless the admonition OF Solomon
is to be disproved, the added years
which may come by reason OF ad-
vancement in sanitation and hygiene
are a doubtful blessing. Usefulness
to ones sell and to society should be
dominant in the desire for long life
To proIong existence beyond this
point may hardly be classed as OF
benefit either to the individual or to
society.

LIBERAL PARTY IS

No Sign That Present Election

Stirring Up Great
Britain.

London, Dec. 5.-There has been a
steady decline in the stock exchange
price of liberal coalition stocks since
the opening of the electoral campaign
Starting at 100 as the probable
majority for tho coalition of par
ties, the figure gradually has dropped
until it now ranges in the neighbor-
hood of 60.
If the brokers are well inspired the
chances that the present struggle will
settle the great constitutional questions
now before the country seem remote.
Should Premier ASquith and his ma
tionalist and laborite allies be re-
turned to power with anything like so
reduced a majority as here Indicated,
it is predicted that the premier will
resign.
Would Mean More Conflict
In that case, A. J.. Balfour, the OPP
position leader and prime minister in
1929, presumably would be invited by
King George to form a new cabinet,
and everything would be again thrown
into the melting pot as the only
course open to Balfour would be an
other appeal to the country.
