June 5-Dr Krulish, head of the department of health and sanitation for the Indian bureau in Alaska. who was recently at Sit ka. looked over the buildings lately vacated bv the marines. for the purpose Of locating another hospi- tai for natives. The hospital at Juneau has been filled to its capa- city ever since it was instituted, and last fall extensive additions were made. but the new rooms were al most immediately filled.
 Before his departure for Sitka, pr. KruIish said that the navy de- Partment was very anxious to turn the building at Sitka over to the department of the interior, and if the buildings were found suitable for a hospital for the Indians, the interior department would accept them.

 That Neglect is Dangerous.
 The slightest symptom of kidney trouble is far too serious to be oyer- looked. It's the small, neglected troubles that lead to serious kidney ailments. That pain In the "smalP' of your back; that urinary irregularity; those headaches and dizzy spells; that weak, weary, worn-out feeling, may be natures warning of coming dropsy or fatal BTights disease. Why risk your life by neglecting these symptoms? Reach the cause of the trouble while there Is yet ume-be- gin treating your kidneys at once with a tried and proven kidney rem edy. No need to eXperiment-Doan's Kidney Pills have been curing kid ney trouble for over 75 years. Deans Kidney Pills are used and recommend cd throughout the civilized world. Convincing testimony follows:
 Mrs. E. A. Husk, 1901 Union St, Olympia, Wash, says: Although I have never used Deans Kidney Pills myself, they have been taken by other members of my family with excellent results. They have no equal for pain and weakness in the back. The persons who used Doan s Kidney Pills in my family are now entirely free from kidney trouble"

RULES GOVERNING MAILING OF
PACKAGES UNDER new SYSTEM
After an One May Mail Anything Weighing Not More Than II
Pounds by Parcel Post-Perishabe Articles May Be
Sent Under Specific Restrictions.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
just approved the regulations which
cover in detail the articles which may
or may not be sent by parcel post.
The rules as to what can be sent
and what cannot be sent and the In
structions for the preparation Of mail
able articles with other official ad-
vice" are given here as they have just
been prepared by the postotfice de-
partment in Washington.
The minimum rate will be five cents
for the first pound and three cents for
each additional pound to any point not
exceeding fifty miles from the office of
mailing; the local rate, which Is five
cents for the first pound and one cent
for additional pound, applies to all
parcels the delivery Of which does not
involve their transportation on rail-
way lines. The rates increase for
each successive one of the eight zones,
the maximum rate being twelve cents
a pound which will carry a parcel
across th4 continent or to any Of our
possessions. Parcels will be limited
to eleven pounds in weight and six
feet in length and girth combined.
MaiIabIe PerlshabIe Articles.
Butter, lard and perishable articles
such as fish, fresh meats, dressed
fowls, vegetables, fruits, berries and
articles of similar nature that decay
quickly when so packed or wrapped
as to prevent damage to other mail
matter will be accepted for local de-
livery either at the office Of mailing or
on any rural route starting therefrom.
When inclosed in an inner cover and
a strong outer cover Of wood, met
al. heavy corrugated pasteboard or
other suitable material and wrapped
so that nothing can escape from the
package, they will be accepted for
zone or within radius of so miles
Butter, lard, or any greasy or oily sub
stance intended for delivery at offices
beyond the first zone must be suitably
packed. Vegetables and fruit that do
not decay quickly will be accepted for
mailing to any zone If packed so as
to prevent damage to other mail mat
ter. Eggs will be accepted for local
delivery when securely packed in a
basket or other container. Eggs will
be accepted for mailing regardless Of
distance when each egg is wrapped
separately and packed in a container.
There is no restriction on salted,
dried, smoked or cured meats and
other meat products, but fresh meat
in any form will be transported only
within the first zone.
Parcels containing perishable arti'
cles must be marked "PERISHABLE,"
and articles likely to spoil within the
time reasonably required for trans
portation and delivery will not be ac-
cepted for mailing,

drawn from Keokuk is the same
length as the radius of the circles
drawn from Washington, Keokuk's
zone Six will be just as far from its
center as Washington's Zone Six is.
How Rates Are Fixed.
1t can be seen from this readily
enough that the postal rates from
Washington to it's particular zone will
be the same as the postal rates from
keokuk to its particular zones. Each
unit being about thirty miles square
will of course contain in most cases a
number of postofflces. but each office
m the same unit Is considered as be-
ing the center of the circles from
which the zones are drawn. The
rates Of postage are fixed from the
unit In which the sending postoffice is
situated, but the price to every place
in any zone is just the same. To IL
lustrate, 1t will cost exactly the same
amount to send parcel from Wash
ington to Erie, Pa, that it costs to
send it to Atlanta Ca, because Erie
and Atlanta with reference to Wash
ington are situated in the fourth
zone. The rates therefore are fixed
from the unit in which the postoffice
is located, but they are the same
from that office to any point in any
one zone.
1t will be seen by reference to the
table of rates of postage that it will
cost more per pound to send a pack
age long distance than it does to
send it a short distance. The rate in
creases for a package weighing one
pound at the rate of one cent for
each zone. No package weighing
more than II pounds can be sent un-
der the new parcel post law. 1t
should be said right here that on the
long hauls the parcel post may not
be able to compete with the express
companies, but that on shorter hauls
it can so compete. 1t was the ex-
pressed desire of the legislators and
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1912-12-26

OF the postoffice officials that the par
Gel post system should be made of
particular use to persons having farm
and factory products to transmit to
customers. 1t can be said in a general
way that anything can be sent which
is properly wrapped and which will
not injure other mail matter with
which it may come in contact.
Copy Foreign Countries.
1t is probable that the government
will adopt a means of transportation
for certain kinds of its merchandise
much like those which have been
adopted in parcel post countries
abroad. What the English call ham,
pers, basket-like arrangements, prob
ably will be adopted, and as these can
be kept separate from the ordinary
mail matter it is believed that the
regulations as finally adopted will al
low the sending Of eggs, butter, dress
ed poultry, live poultry, honey, fruit,
and other products Of the country.
The 11-pound limit for single pack
age may work at first against any
very extended use of the parcel post
for some of the articles which have
been named OF course, more weight
can be sent if it is sent in different
parcels, but the cost in that case
would be heavier, because the in
crease per pound on a single package

probably 1t would increase at no great
er rate if the government were to
raise the limit of weight which Is now
fixed.
Every postmaster in the United
States will have parcel post map
like the one which is here reproduced
except that the zone lines will be
shown with the unit of his postoftice
as a center. All that a postmaster
will have to do when percel is pre-
sented for transportation is to find out
in what zone the destination of the
package dies. His table will show
him instantly the rate per pound
from the unit in which his postoffice
lies to the zone Of the packages des-
tination, the price, as has been eX-
planned before, to every postoffice in
any one zone being the same. The
parcel post will take nothing but
fourth-class matter. Printed matter
is still in the third-class designation
Therefore books cannot be sent by the
parcel post system.
Rate on Seeds Not Affected.
1t should be said that the act Of
congress which puts parcel post
plan into operation does not in any
way affect the postage rate on seeds,
cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and
plants as fixed by section 4S2 Of the
postal laws and regulations.

BY EDWARD q. CLARK.

With the coming of the New Year
the United States government will en-
ter into a new field of enterprise
the transmittal of merchandise by what
is known as the parcel post.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands of inquir-
les have been made of the postmaster
general as to just what the parcel
post will mean to the people. 1t was
the law of congress establishing the
system which made provision for a
division of the country in zones
and into $4,000 units which are to be
used as centers in describing the cir
cles which mark the boundaries Of
the zones. There has been no clear
understanding, apparently, Of this
zone system. but really 1t is very
simple matter.
The accompanying map shows the
country divided into zones from the
unit in which Washington is sit
uated, as the center. Accompanying
the map is table showing the rate
of postage per pound for parcels from
Washington to places within all the
zones.
Each unit contains an area thirty
miles square. Now each unit is a
center from which the zones are
drawn and so every unit in the coun-
try no matter where it is situated will
have zones drawn from it just exactly
as Washington has them drawn from
it. For instance, take Keokuk, Ia,
which is in unit in the fifth zone.
From that will be drawn circles ex-
actly as they are drawn from Wash
ington and they will be numbered from
Keokuk as number one, just as they
are numbered from Washington as
number one. OF course, however,
Zone Six will have a different geo.
graphical position as related to Keo-
kuk than it has as related to Wash
ington, but as the radius of the circles
