DICKINSON MAY have PLANT
make kELs0 POISON BOTTLE

o. M. Kelso and Martin Connolly were
in from New England last Saturday, Mr..
Kelso looking over the situation as to
the possible establishment of a plant to
manufacture his already famous life
saving bottle on which he received a
United States patent only a few month
ago.
MI. Kelso. while at Fargo, recently,
had a talk with Pure Food Commissioner
Ladd who said that the invention was
something that had long been needed
and he thought that at the next legisla-

tive assembly, laws would be passed
which would require all poisons to be
put up in such bottles.
Mr.. Ladd said that a great many
times bottles containing poison had
been sent to his Office to be analysed
in plain. unlabeled bottles and that it
made a great risk for clerks in his
office. There would be absolutely no
danger from poison in bottles if there
was a law compelling the use of the
kelso ~life-saving kind.

WAS AG|IA7EO
FOR ten YEARS
Post System Has
Been Considered by Gov
efnment for a Long Time

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 2S.-
The inauguration of the parcels post
plan in the United States on Wednes-
day next, Jan. /, 1913, will mark one
OF the most important epochs in the
development of the American postal
service. The last previous step OF
importance was taken when the rural
free delivery system was put into eff
feet fifteen years ago. The introduc-
ton of the parcels post system has
been agitated for ten years without
material progress when rural free de-
livery became a fact. Since then the
demand for the introduction of a par
GELS post system in the United States
became SO urgent tnat congress final
ly, Notwithstanding the most strenu-
Gus opposition from certain interest
ed quarters, yielded to the wishes OF
the people and enacted a parcels post
law.
The framing of the law was not an
easy matter, as the whole scheme was
In the nature OF an experiment upon
q tremendous scale. 1t Is true, the
trainers of the law had for their guild
ance the laws and regulations Of a
number of foreign countries where

the parcels post has been in success
full operation for many years, but the
conditions of the postal service in
the United States are so radically diff.
ferent from those of the postal SER
vice in other countries that it was
not an easy matter to adapt their
laws to American conditions and re-
quirements.
At last the law was drafted, sub.
mitted to congress and passed, and
January /, 1918, was fixed as the date
for it's going into effect. Tine many
radical changes in the postal service
necessitated by the requirements OF
the parcels post system imposed a
tremendous burden of work upon the
postal authorities and during the last
three months several of the depart
ments worked practically day and
night to complete the preparations for
the inauguration of the new service.
An entirely ley series OF stamps
for the exclusive use of the parcels
post service had to be designed, en-
graved, printed and distributed; new
scales, with a capacity of eleven
pounds, to meet the requirements OF
the new weight limit, had to be con-
tracted for, manufactured and sent to
the various postotiices in the country;
maps showing the n into which
the country has been divided for the
purpose of fixing a graduated distance
rate. and books containing the vari-
Gus regulations and rules governing
the new branch of the postal service
had to be printed and distributed
the thousands Of postofices
throughout the country. In addition
to all this. special provisions as to
space, means of handling the parcels
post, etc, had to be made at all larg-
err offices. SO as to have everything in
readiness when the law goes into Ell.
feet next Wednesday.

SAD Case OF
DESERIlON

MINOT, Dec. 2S.-One OF. the most
pathetic cases of desertiOn ever
brought to linght in the Magic City.
was revealed today when Mrs. Mary
II. Johnson. residing on east Fourth
street called the attention of Humane
Officer Alex Scarlet, to the condition
of six young children, who. 1t is re-
ported, have been left alone by their
father, J. E. Dickey, since last week.
Dickey, it appears, is a laborer, and
is said to be a heavy drinker. AS
neal as can be learned he went out
of the city on Saturday or Sunday,
telling the children that he would re-
turn on Tuesday. On Tuesday, how
ever, he failed to put in an appear
ance, and on Christmas eve the child
ren's supply Of food had been ex.
hausted.
Mrs. Johnson, who OWL the house
occupied by the Dickey family, learn
ed the true condition of affairs and
supplied the children with food yes
terday and today called Colonel Scar

ported to the county commissioners

the assurance that the preparations
are now practically completed, but
they realize that owing to the new.
ness of the system and the lack of
previous experience as to its opera
tons, it may develop at first many de-
fects and shortcomings which will
have to be gradually corrected. The
public is expected to be patient ald
to give the postal department reason
able time to perfect the workings Of
the plan in all its details.
The Importance of the new service
can scarcely be adequately estimated
at the present time. 1t contemplates
the transportation and delivery by
the postal service of the United
States Of parcels containing matter OF
the fourth class, not exceeding eleven
pounds in weight and six feet in cir
conference from any point reached
by the present postal service to any
other point reached by that service.
The parcels post service of the gov
eminent extends far beyond the linn.
tied sphere of the various express
companies, over more than one mil
lion miles of rural routes and $4,000
miles of rail, boat and star routes,
embracing about $4,000 postoffices and
2S5, 900 employees connected with the
postal service. The rates of trans.
%portation are a great deal cheaper
than the corresponding rates of the
express companies, which means an
enormous saving to shippers, aside
the greater facilities offered to
them.
Under the new law everything will
be available that is mailable now as
fourth class rnatter. with the addition
Of thousands Of articles of a perisha-
BILE nature, ETC., which heretofore
not mailable at all. Only liquor
of an alcoholic nature, pOisons, ex-
plosives. inflammable articles, infer
nal machines. obscene matter, pistols
or r%evolvers, live or dead animals or
any substance which e:nits a bad Cd
and disease germs cannot be mail
ed by parcels post. Perishable mat
ter, like foodstuffs, fruit, ETC., will on
ly be accepted for delivery within a
fifty-mile radius from the mailing
point.
