Bath Tub Cleanliness

Whether the bath tub be made Of
porcelain, enamel, iron or zinc, it should
be kept bright and smooth. Al solution
of Gold Dust washing powder and
warm water will quickly remove any
vestige of dirt and If any rough places
or dark spots appear, these can be
easily removed by sprinkling a little of
the Gold Dust powder on a cloth and
rubbing briskly. The water basin and
water closets may be kept perfectly
white il thoroughly washed with. Gold
Dust once a week. The use of Gold
Dust washing powder is protection
against disease and odors. It cleans the
drain pipes thoroughly.

RURAL CARRIERS ID GET INCREASES Over 10000 Will Profit By An Order Issued By
 Hitchcock

Washington, July 9-The 40,000 odd ru- ral free delivery carriers in the United States are to receive salary increases as d result of an order issued today by Postmaster General Hitchcock. The or ,der provides for the disbursement dur ing the current fiscal year of A,000, ,000, which will mean an increase of S100 over the present salary of 800 for all carriers on standard routes. with proportonate increases on the shorter routes.
 Congress provided last session for the expenditure of this extra $4,000,000, but left it to the discretion of the Postmas- ter General as to how much of it should be expended. MT. Hitchcock decided to- day to authorize the expenditure of the full amount.
 His desire to compensate the carriers for any additional burden which may be placed on them, if the parcels post sys- tenn he has recommended for rural routes is approved by Congress, was the i'm portant consideration, Mir. Hitchcock de- clared today, which led him to make the authorization.
 The rural delivery system was started 15 years ago, with S3 carriers, who were paid only S200 a year. On July 1 there were H,562 carriers, their aggregate sal aries being $35, ,793, ,000
