ANNUAL WEI6nIn6
and COUNTING. OF MAIL
is ON THIS WEEK


In conformity with an order from
the postoffice department at Wash
ington, d. c., the postal employees all
over the United States are bnsy this
week weighing and counting the va
! rious pieces of mail matter passing
thru their hands in order that the
government may be able to obtain a
fairly accurate estimate of the vol
ume of business done by the various
! postoffices of the country. One week
every year the mail is weighed and
counted and upon its result the au-
thorities can predicate with a good
deal of certainty the amount of busi-
ness transacted during the twelve
months The order to weigh and
count the mail is usually issued in
the spring. but the exact time when it
will be required is never known in
advance by the postmasters of the
country.
The work began last Monday morn
ing and by Saturday night every mail
carrier in Canon City will know just
how many steps he takes In a block
every day while on duty; how many
he takes in half mile; how many he
takes in a mile and how many he
takes in going over his entire route.
He will know how many receptacles
there are for mail ;how many Sits
.. in dcors for letters and just how
! many minutes 1t takes him to cover a
block; half mile, or his whole route.
He will count the letters and papers
he delivers during the week anil
strike AN average for the year.
At the postoffice he will check ap
other records He will count every
piece OF first class mail he handles
for his patrons and he will keep a
J record of the actual time II takes TO
case the mail. Then there will be an
! average for the carrier to strike so he
J can give his superiors the actual time
! IL takes to case and deliver all the
! mail handled
This process will include every
kind OF mail he handles and will In
clude the four classes. from post
card to large package. Every time a
mail carrier makes stop he will re-
| cord 1t In a little book. for among
other things in this exhaustive report
is a record of the number Of actual
stops a carrier is forced to make dur
ing the six days from March 10
March 9. inclusive. Not only that. but
he has to give the possible number OF
stops.
On many routes there are houses
and business concerns where a car
rier will leave dozen or fifty letters
in one week and perhaps but hand
full in the next week. At such places
he is supposed to be familiar enough
with HIS route and the business done
by each customer to give a good aver
age for the week. two weeks or a
month.

Puzzle of Living.

Religionists chided about their ina
bility TO agree on points of faith might
point out that they differ only in Incl
dentals. and not essentials, whereas
the scientists differ on everything.
Take the science OF living. A week
ago you would have died if you drank
water with your meals" Now they
say it doesn't do any harm atall. One
variety says: Eat meat. lots of 1t. to
build good, rich blood" Another says
meat is poison; that vegetables are
the only food. A third declares meat
and vegetables both increase debility,
and that you will live twice as long
on raw fruits and nuts. Some say
Talk with your meals, laugh 1t
makes the food digest" Others insist
silence is never so golden as at the
table.

Americans Asked to Quit Mexico.

President Taft and cabinet are pre-
pairing proclamation urging all Am
orleans TO stay out of Mexico during
the present revolt The real signifi-
canoe of the proclamation is the Off
cial recognition of the fact that the
insurrectionary movement in Mexico
has attained to such proportions as
to cause it to be regarded as fairly
balancing power and influence with
the Madero government. For that
reason its issue is likely to be re-
garded with strong disfavor in the
City Of Mexico. No such proclama-
ton was issued during the Madero
