$S4.i0 per thousand For handling
outgoing mail one department. ex-
pended 1874 per thousand; another
$69.s9. Either one department paid
too much or the other not enough,
he said.
In travel alone the government
exrends about $12,000,000 year.

cent mile probably could be eff
fected.

pint of witch hazel an original package of
mayatone and gently rub a, little on face,
neck and arms. and you will be delighted
with results Use this daily instead of
powder or other cosmestic and the skin
will be smooth, soft and satinlike Maya

When a woman does not care to risk
catching cold washing her head she can
get splendid results by dry shampooing.
Put a cupful of corn meal Cor four ounces
of powdered orris roof in a fruit Jar,
add the contents of a small original
package of therox and shake well to-
gether Sprinkle a little on the head and
brush thoroughly. Therox encourages
the growth of hair and makes it beauu-
