meat Is poison: that vegetables are
the only food. A third declares meat

Dr.Parkhurst
Says There Is Tendency to ReversOn to Former Types

" HIS is the time Of the year when
good many people are leaving
home, or. it had better be said,
are leaving the place where they are
accustomed TO stay
And even those who are so clrcum-
stanced as TO be unable to absent them
selves for any considerable time, stay
away as long as they can and do not
return till they have to.
By constitution we are all trampS
Even people who have elegant homes
to live in and comfortable beds to
sleep on viii lock their doors, forsake
their beds and go rushing out into the
woods for the fun Of camping out
Our Inherited Impulses.
It is a reversion to the original mode
OF living when our ancestors roamed
through the forests and dWelt in tents,
huts and caves. 1t is difficult to live
down the impulses that have descended
to US from the habits Of centuries ago
The original savage Keeps creeping
out in US. We are constantly on the
verge of becoming wild men Of the
woods again.
A few centuries of civilization have
hard work battling against the hum
dreds Of thousands Of years that our
race lived through before it struck
civilization.
1t takes old momentum a long time
to wear out. It requires constant
struggle to keep from dropping back
into the hole that mankind has craWled
out Of and that IL is homesick to fall
back into again.
People Like Beasts.
It is the same with man as with
brute beasts. 1 met the other day
man who had along with him Sibe-
rian dog. The animal was gentle and
could be safely played with by a little
child. but" said the man, there are
spots of wolf in him, and were I to let
him run wild in the woods for six
months, all the savageness belonging
to his ancestry would break out in him,
and he would have to be shot or
Gagged.
In man or beast civilization is not a
permanent quality. It is against ma
ture and becomes extinct unless con-
stantly renewed. We are kept respect
able by restraints.
1t is for that reason that going off

PARCELS POST IS
LIKELY TO PISS
Postmaster General Thinks
1t Would Solve problem
of High Prices.

Washington, d. c., June 10.-Legisla-
tiOn providing for a general parcels post
throughout the United States and its
possessions except the Philippine Islands,
is practically certain TO be enacted oY
the present congress, perhaps before the
conclusion of this session, in the opinion
of postmaster general Hitchcock
He has urged upon congress the de-
STABILITY of a domestic parcels post be-
cause he believes it viii aid substan-
TALLY in the solution Of the problem OF
the high cost of living.
In a statement yesterday he eX-
pressed the hope that the measure re-
Gently introduced by senator Bourne,
chairman Of the committee Of pOstOfflces
and post roads, might become a law.
In the judgment Of the officers of the
postal service, the Bourne bill repre-
sents the most scientific plan vet devised
for a parcels post. 1t provides for a
parcels service throughout the country
both on rural routes and city carrier
routes It cOnsoidates the country both
on rural routes and city carrier routes.
It consOlidates the third and fourth
classes Of mail matter and raises The
weight limit OF parcels to II pounds,
which is the limit of the international
parcels post.
Rates Are LoF.
The rate to be charged for articles
carried in the rural route service and
city carrier service is cents for the
first pound or fraction of a pound and
cent for each additional pound OF frac-
ton of a pound For the general par
cells post service, which covers all mail
transported other than local delivery BY
rural or city carriers, graduated rates
would be fixed based on distance.
Six zones of distance would be es-
tabhshed- The first would have a radial
distance of so miles from the point of
mailing; the second would include the
area lying between 50 and 200 miles.
the third that between 200 and 500
niles the fourth that between 500 and
1000 miles; the fifth that between loco
and 1000 miles, and the sixth distance
beyond 1000 miles. The rate for delivery
within the first zone Is cents for the
tTst pound OF fraction thereof and
cents Tor each additional pound or frac-
ton thereof. The rates would increase
Tor each additional zone until the sixth.
then reach a maNinUm Of y cents a
pound. the rate now charged in the IN
ternational parcels post. The rate on the
consolidated third and fourth class mail
matter IS fixed at 1 cent an ounce for
not more than four ounces. Distinctive
parcels post stamps VIII be provided.
In formal report forwarded TO the
senate postoffice committee, postmaster
general Hitchcock urges the passage Of
the Bourne measure.
