SOME POSTAL COMPARISONS.

Pending the investigation of gov
ernmental departments in general
that the new congress in Inaugural
ting, it is interesting to compare the
finances of the United States post
office with those of the Dominion of
Canada. The comparison may not
be particularly significant, since the
conditions in the two countries are
not . identical, Canada having
to transport mail over greater unin-
habted districts than does the
United States, and also since Canada
has the 1 cent rate on drop letters,
and a parcels post system. But
comparison is interesting anyway.
For the year 1910 the revenues of
the Canadian postoffice were SILL
068,753; those of the United States
postof1ice $224,128,657. Out of it's
revenue the Canadian postoffice end
eel the year with net gain of $NS-
211; the United States postof;ca
closed the year with deficit of some
thing more than $5,OOO,0OO
1t cost Canada $3,646,59S to have
the mails transported; the United
States paid $S4,S73,6S7 for trans
portation of mails. That is, the
transportation of the mails cost each
Canadian As cents and each Ameri-
can 81 cents.
Canada had 1887 postotfices, and
the United States $3.50. The Can
adam postoffice during the year
handled sol, $4,000 letters and post
cards; the United States office
handled 4,577,271 pieces of
mail matter of all kinds.
Most of these figures, of course are
of no significance as far as COM
pairing the work of the two depart
ments is concerned, but they show
rather emphaticaly the comparative
size of the two countries, and in view
of the surplus on one side on small
amount of business, and the deficit
on the other on an immense amount
Of business, there may be something
deep in the matter than is shown
on the surface. 1t reminds one of
the storekeeper who assured GUS
tomer that he sold certain line of
goods below cost and explained
that he could afford to do so because
he sold so many articles of that line
that he made profit on the whole
transaction.-Duluth Herald.

cultural papers, whose advertising
columns are filled by the manufac-
turing trusts of the country, are
using cartoons sent out by the Pro-
tective Tariff league in their fight
against Canadian reciprocity The
policy of the tariff league, said to be
supported by the big interests, is to
let the tariff alone. The approval
of the Canadian pact would be the
first step to downward revision,
and the manufacturing interests
are trying to head off that step be-
ing taken. If the people are salts
fled with the present tariff law, they
should certainly oppose reciprocity
with Canada.-St Cloud Journal

Saving Ten Cents a Day

A novel experiment in the matter of teaching it's employees economi- cal methods is being undertaken by the Pennsylvania railroad. Realiz ing that the way to add to the dol. lars is to look after the pennies, the railroad has appealed to it's men to save at least 10 cents a day for the company. Small as is this amount for each individual, the az gregate i" something enormous.
 For instance, if the 123 GOO em- ployes on lines east of Pittsburg and Buffalo will act on the sugges. ton it would mean the saving of $l2.300 a day, or more than $4,- 900, GOO year. The men are told that il is within their power to do this by cutting down in the reck less use of supplies of various kinds --enginemen in the use of oil, fire men in the consumption of coal, shopmen by the exercise of care in making repairs and in the use of material; trackmen in the use of spikes and bolts, and to see that character is no: wasted. Clerks and office employees are reminded that they can conserve the stationery that passes through their hands, and. in fact. every branch of the service is to be taken into the com pany's confidence in the matter of cutting down the operating ex- penses.-Exchange.

Smidt Got The Idea

"You see, Mir. Smidt," said the bank cashier, "there is plenty of money in the bank, but all the banks have agreed in order to pre- vent panic to pay out only part of the actual currency demanded by depositors. Your money is here alright, and you can have it as soon as it is safe to let you have it. In the meantime we will give you instead of actual cash, clearing house certificates, which will serve the same purpose. This is the third time I hsve explained this matter to you. have gone into it thoroughly because I want you to explain the conditions to the rest of your fellow countrymen who are our depositors. Do you think you understand now?"
 "Yees, yees," replied Smidt, "I explain it shust like dis, Mr Cash fer: Matilda and I haf leetle baby. The leetle baby she cry for milk in de middle ob de night; ve get up and ve say to dat leetle baby-yees, baby, der iss plendy milk in der kitchen, but ve cannot give it to you now, but ve will give you somedings shust as good.

Money and War

Uncle Sam has definitely adopted a policy of storing his gold treasure as far from the coast cities as pos sible. The idea is to keep any possible enemy or invader from seizing the gold of the country which forms the basis of the cur rency and of the national credit. In the Denver mint today there are $500, ,000, ,000 in gold coin and gold bars. A heavy guard is kept over the gold at all times, and plenty of troops are within reach to prevent anybody carrying off more than a few tons of the glitter.
 Coin and metal in the vaults of the San Francisco. Philadelphia, and New Orleans hints will be transferred to Denver. The treasury at Washington, which holds several
 hundred millions in gold all the
 time. is deemed safe from possible capture, although the city fell into the hands of the British a century ago with scarcely any resistance. and was in grave danger several
 times during the civil war.
 Denver is 1860 miles from the
 nearest point on the Atlantic ocean, and 1877 miles from the closest
 Pacific port-She is tolerably safe from foreign invasion.

Republican National Convention

The call of the republican na- tional convention will provide for 1O64 delegates to be increased to 1O72 if Arizona and New Mexico become states before the conven- tion is held. The increase from 9SO delegates, which comprised the Chicago convention in 1908, is the result of the reapportionment by congress. increasing the house from 391 to 433 members, or 435 with the new. states
 Francis Curtis, head of the pub licity bureau, has prepared table showing the apportionment which it is expected will be adopted without change. California gets 26, equaling Wisconsin and exceed ing Tennessee, Virginia and sev- other older states. Nevada is given six. Arizona is not mentioned. The basis for the delegates to the convention is four at large from each state and two for each con- gressional district, Large gains in the delegations will be New York, 12, Pennsylvania 8. Oklahoma, Cal ifornia each; Illinois, Massachu- setts, New Jersey, Texas and Wash ington, 4 each.

Plan to Avoid Pneumonia

The season is at hand for pneu monia to begin striking it's victims In bulletin just issued by the health department of Chicago, the whole problem of avoiding pneu. monia is set forth so clearly and so briefly that we reproduce it:
 Gold weather ooes not directly ciuse pneumonia, but it is an indi- rect cause. It causes injudicious people to shut themselves up in- doors. .closinr windows and doors, so that they may be comforta bly warm Closed windows means lack of proper ventilation, the indoor air soon becoming very feul When this foul air is taken into the lungs 1t fails tO Inpart the necessary health sustaining elements that inhaled air should; rather it phi sons the body, lowers the natural resisting powers and creates fertile soil for the invasion and develop. ment of the pneumonia germ.
 The thing to do is to stop lower ing your resisting power. Quit poisoning yourself with foul air. Breathe good, pure air all the time especially while sleeping Keep your windows open day and night. Don't be afraid of cold air. Pure cold air does not cause pneumonia. It is dirty, foul air that causes the trouble"
 Not only is fresh air the best preventative os pneumonia. but it is a patent aid in cure. In some of the New York hospitals pneumonia patients are placed on open air porches during their illness. with most excellent results.

New Arizona Railroad Rates

Sometime during the summer the interstate commerce mission made rate on freight to Arizona points from the Missouri river points to take effect the 18th of November. This rating cuts out the back haul from the Pacific coast points, giving this territory direct rates with a small added percentage. From this ruling the railroads appealed to the court of commerce and that court has just confirmed the ruling of the com meroe commission. In consequence of this ruling the railroads now have nothing to do but put into effect the rate ordered. which means a great victory for the Arizona shippers.
