ALL SCHOOLS MUST
HAVE FREE WATER
Or All Schools Pay for the
Same Is Ruling of the
Board of Works.

"All the schools in the city, or none
of the schools in the city, shall re-
ceive free water under the provisions
of the new water works proposal con-
tract" is the decision of the board of
works. This puts the parochial schools
on an equal footing with the public
schools. The board by it's action re-
quires council to decide whether free
water shall be furnished the schools OF
the city.
''It is free for all, or all pay" stated
the mayor.
This action followed a communica.
ton from a parochial school asking
the board to include parochial institu
tons in the list of institutions receiv
ing free water
The next meeting of the water
works committee, consisting of the
city council, the board of works, and
the mayor, will be held either Monday
Sept. 2, or on the following night. The
regular meeting of the city council
falls on Labor day, and it is doubtful
if council will hold a regular session
on that date.

Aalcvon DavA-

The seven days preceding and the
seven days following the winter SOL
stice were called by the ancients "hal.
cyon days" This phrase is derived
from fable which sets forth that Hal
cyone, a princess who grieved SO deep
~ for the loss at sea Of her spouse, was
sent thither in pity in the form of a
halcyon bird or kingisher. According
to the legend, the halcyon bird had
during the time Of breeding the power
of lulling the waves. and it was be-
lieved at this time the sea was always
calm and might be navigated in per.
feet security. Experience, Of course,
dispelled this fable; but. like many an
other old world story. it has left behind
it a distorted meaning. In this case
the connection between the old and the
new significance is clear, for the term
once expressive Of peace and calm
upon the waters, is equally expressive
of tranquility upon the sea Of life.

! SUNDAY MAIL
Will Hereafter Be Distribut-
ed to Box Patrons.

There will be no distribution of mail
to boxes in the post office hereafter.
Postmaster Haas has been notified by
C. P. Granfield, first assistant post
master general, that hereafter omces
of the first and second classes shall
not open on Sundays for the purpose
of delivering mail to the general pub
lie
This ruling will prevent the local Of
fee from distributing mail to the box
es on Sundays. After the abolishing of
the window delivery of mail to patrons
On Sunday many rented boxes In
which their mail was placed. In this
way, many were able to secure their
mail even after the window delivery
had been abolished.
One feature of the new ruling will
permit persons who are expecting mail
to secure it If a citizen expects let
ter on Sunday, the deposit of spec
ial delivery stamp with the postmaster
on Saturday will assure the delivery
of the letter. Letters containing a
special delivery stamp will be deliver
ed to the address as heretofore.
The new ruling will reduce the Sun
day force at the post office to one
| man. His work will consist in dispatch
| ing mail The order of the assistant
postmaster general is appended:

Aug. "a, 1912. t.
The post Office appropriation act for
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1913,
provides:
That hereafter post Offices of the
first and second classes shall not be
open on Sunday for the purpose of de-
livering mail to the general public, but
this provision shall not prevent the
prompt delivery of special delivery
mall
Under this law you will close the
general delivery, carriers windows
, and lock boxes and discontinue all de
hveries by carriers on Sunday. YOU
will note, however, that special deliv
cry mail is excepted and you will
therefore arrange to have on duty &
sufficient force to handle this mai
matter promptly.
The Department desires to reduce
Sunday work to the minimum so tina
as many of the employees as possible
may enjoy complete day of rest OF
Sunday. You should, therefore. require
only a sufficient number of clerks tt
report for duty on that day in orde
that transit mail and the mail collect
ed for dispatch may be handled with
out delay If no mail is dispatched OF
Sunday a very early collection shoult
be made on Monday morning and thu
mail for local delivery distributed be

MONDAY SESSION.

in connection with the chautauqua, the
attendance being large.
DR.. William S. Sadler, who spoke
again at half past two this afternoon,
and who was not down for an appear
aDce this morning. gave an informal
talk on "Harmones," which is the
technical term for the newest discov-
cries in physiology bearing on the in
ter-relation Of physical and mental
functions, with special reference by
the speaker to digestion.

Sadler, going on to illustrate through
the citation of specific instances and
by detailing scientific data.
DR.. Sadler's talk was made at this

on the "Home Treatment of Pain" in.
terested, informed and entertained her
audience with sort of sublimated
"frst aid to the injured" exhibition.
Pain might be termed the physical
conscience" said Miss Kellogg, 'for
when we do violence to the body we
are made conscious of it through pain
Pain is perverted pleasure. Rest, in
| instance, is a pleasure. But long con
tinued rest becomes pain" continued
the speaker.
That the practice of hydrotherapy
or the hot and cold water treatment
be learned by amateurs-in contradis
tinction to professionals-was the
declaration of Miss Kellogg who, with
little boy, who volunteered to assist
the speaker, gave number of illustra
tons of alleviating pain through this
method.
In cases of indigestion, appendicitis
neuritis and other classes of illness
common to society, detailed descrip

it had been but a passing wave, for
again the atmosphere was heavy, and
once more there was melancholy in
his expression. We had talked per-
