LIVING CHICKENS u
MAY Be DELIVERED
BY PARCELS POST.
Eggs, Too, Likely to Be
Handled by u. S. Let
a ter Carriers.

Live chickens, "day-old chickens -
eggs and other fragile objects, as
well as general farm and garden prod
ucts will be admitted to the parcels
post along with other merchandise,
when 1t is instituted the first of jan
uary. Admissio nof these things has
practically been determined by the
special commission drawing the regu-
lations for the parcels post.
The schedule is to be so arranged
that city dwellers may get fresh eggs,
and butter, chickens, and other pro-
duce direct from the farms by mail.
This will be an important feature Of
the parcels post. Eggs and chickens
and produce are carried by the posts
of European nations, and the same
conditions will apply here. Not only
will the Government carry these
things, but an indemnity will be pro-
vided for their loss or damage in
transit.
Farmers living in the counties con-
tiguous to, or within an easy range
of Washington will be able to supply
their trade in the city direct without
ever hitching up a team and making
the long journey to town. This will
save them the major expense of mar
keting goods, as well as saving time
and money both to consumer and pro-
ducer. 1t is possible the parcels post
Will prove to be a novel means of cut
ting the high living cost.
Country folks coming to the Saturday
market have to leave home Friday.
They have to provide board and lodging
for themselves as we'll as for teams, and
this is a heavy expense.
various big poultry dealers have al
ready sent statistics to the department
showing how eggs and chickens may be
handled and and carried car This is pertisu-
tributors who run the biggest hatch
cries in the country A big business in
these day-old chicks has sprung up
throughout the country Eggs are set
much as 100000 eggs. The day the
chicks are hatched they are shipped.
In this condition they can go four days
in transit without food or drink, and
poultry dealers ship chicks now instead
OF eggs to the fanciers and small
raisers
The receipts Of country butter and
eggs bv mail will no doubt prove an
interesting novelty for housewives In
addition they may send to gardeners a
card order early in the week, and get
on Saturday in return mail their supply
OF vegetables and other table stun.
Not only is provision being made for
the handling of these things. but 1t is
expected a c. o. ID. system will be ar
ranged for the collection by carrier of
the merchants cost as we'll as the mail
charges. thereby furnishing a cash col
lection agency for the farmers.
These provisions will. of course. work
in the opposite direction, and urban
business houses NAV do mail order
business heretofore impossible.
The commission planning the parcels
post is in daily session at the Postoffice
Department. working out the changes
that will come about with the innova-
tion of this system.

Vanderbilt RACE
WILL BE DECIDED
ON FAST COURSE
Milwaukee Stretch Is Being
Put in Excellent
Condition.

Finishing touches are now being put
to the Milwaukee race course, over
which will be run the contests for the
Vanderbilt cup, Grand Prize. Wisconsin
and Pabst trophies. September 17-H.
The circuit, which Is So miles in
length, has been improved at cost Of
more than $25, 900, and is judged by ex-
perts to be the speediest OF any road
course In America. e. G. Williams, an
expert road builder who was sent to
Milwaukee to inspect the construction
of the'road for william X. Vanderbilt,
jr., chairman of the contest committee
OF the Automobile Club OF America, and
donor of the Vanderbilt cup, when
asked his opinion of the couse, said:
New records are almost certain to
be made on 1t. The course is both
speedy and safe, with long straight
aways. and Just enough roll to provide
a thrilling tinge. Wide curves will per-
init great speed without adding to the
danger materially"
Teddy Tetzlaff, who broke the worlds 8
record at Santa Monica, Cal, recently,
had this to say OF the course: Race
enthusiasts who attend the Milwaukee
races will see the greatest speed events
ever run. The long straightaways, with
wide, fast turns, permit of record
breaking speed hope to make some
new records myself or provide the spec
tators with some thrillers in the at
tempt" . '..
The course will be ready for practice
next week and the drivers will begin
work in earnest. David Bruce Brown,
Tetzlahf. Hughes, Bragg. Mulford. Wis
hart and other drivers who are COM
peting today at Elgin, will locate their
camps along the course and begin tun-
ing up their machines for the big events.

Balance in Cars demands
Makers Attention.

Balance is scientific principle
which is demanding the greatest at
tention rom all builders of motto"
cars SAYS Howard Marmon. secre-
tary of Nordyke & Marmoa Company,
makers of the Marmon car. Upon
this quality in building depends not
only the case and comfort of driving,
but also the life and service OF the
entire car"
There is one infallible means of de-
termining whether or not a car Is in
perfect balance. and that Is in lis ease
on tires. Good springs and shocK-ab-
sorbers often countaract defects in bal
ance that would be apparent to the
passengers, and. therefore, tire tires are
the one means by which balance can
be absolutely demonstrated Several in
tercsting examples OF the desrability
of having a perfectly balanced car have
come to my notice recently. They all
occurred in the course OF touring, when
ordinary tires were used, over ordinary
country roads and they give a real
test.

, FOR PRESIDENT

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 49,
When the members of the Texas Cat
tie Raisers association, meeting in an
nual convention in Fort Worth the
latter part Of this month. elect presi.
dent to succeed Ed G. Lasater, who
has served so efficiently during the
year just closing. it is probable the
choice will fall upon A. N. McFaddin
OF Victoria, one of the best known
cattlemen Of southwest Texas.
Mr. MoFadddn has grown up with
the livestock business. Since he was
old enough to sit on a horse he has
ridden over the ranges, he has studied
the art Of improving the grade of his
cattle and the science Of marketing
and every other condition pertaining
to the industry. and it is said no man
in Texas would be better qualified
to perform the duties of president Of
the ssociation. Mr.. McFadddn also
served in the state legislature and
has made record as an advocate Of
good roads which shows how useful
he can be along varied lines.

Some Advice That Will Save Time
and Money.
Strong drink and quinine may re-
lieve cold, but it usually does more
harm than good.
To break up hard cold in either
head or chest thousands are using
this sensible treatment.
First of all look after your bowels;
if they need attention use any reliable
cathartic. Then pour a scant tea
spoonful of HYOMM INTO a bowl of
boiling water, cover head and bowl
with a towel and breathe for 5 Or 10
minutes the pleasant, eothing. heal
ing vapor.
Do this just before going to bed:
your head will feel fine and clear
and you'll awake from q refreshing
sleep minus a cold in the morning.
For colds, coughs, catarrh, asthma
and Group HYOMEI is guaranteed. A
fifty cent bottle is all you need to
break up cold and this can be OBJ
tanned at Lenhart's and druggists
everywhere.

A feeling of sadness accompanies the

undertake and accomplish things. So
why suffer the handicap of looking old
on account of gray hairs, when simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty in few days. time?
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as color restorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothcrs

We have an ideal preparation of Sage,
