THE GERMAN POST OFFICE

The post offices in Germany are peculiar institutions. says F. Harris Deans in the August Wide World Magazine They are far-sighted people, the Germans, and they allow for expansion. If there are any post offices in the country of less than three stories, I must have overlooked them. Every floor is divided into about four departments. and every department has about a dozen of fees.
 In some of the smaller towns, where business is not very brisk, the staff consists of one official. You have to make an appointment with him if you want to be served En- tering on the ground floor, you run around and tap with your money at every pigeon-hole until he answers. You then ask him for stamp, whereupon he orders you to go to No. 1 pigeon-hole and wait there till he comes You wait patiently for about five minutes, and then he pops his head out of No 3 and wants to know if you've gone to sleep. When you ask for a fiVe-cent stamp, he

 MT. Kellogg makes no claim that any human voice can sing to quie- tude the vibrations of a conflagra- ton. The eXtinguishing vibrations must be of Volume commensurate with those to be controlled, but he does maintain that the fire fighting operation in the future will be based upon these principles.
 According to this theory, one may live to see giant tuning forks or mu- sical instruments taking the place of the fire engines.
 Kellogg was born in the California mountains where he grew up in close touch with nature. His ability to reproduce unsteady all sounds Of Mother Earth is phenomenal

Hold an empty cigar box i'll your hands in the room where some one is playing the piano and every now and then you will feel that box vibrate Try singing in a room where there are several small stringed in struments and you will be pleased sometimes to hear a string sing with yCu.

 By this time you are getting quite friendly. and when you ask him where the telegraph office is, he will prob ably get out his guide book and hunt the place out for you. He may even offer to take you there himself, as he's the telegraph clerk as well, and has got to get there anyhow, in order to attend to you
 The Germans themselves, when they go to buy a stamp, make day of it and take their lunch with them. It is quite a pretty sight to see the mother and group of children sit ting on the stairs, eating their bread and sausage and wondering whether father will remember them when he comes back with the stamp.

MUSIC TO ExTINGUisH FIRE
San Francisco Man Bases Claim on
 Vibration Theory

When Charles Kellogg, of San Francisco, announced that he could sing a fire out, there was scoffing among the unbelieVers. They had heard of this man before and knew he had done remarkable things. They knew he could inmitate any bird he admired in the woodland; that he had been able to procure wonderful pictures of wild animals through the Sierra mountains, because he made them completely unafraid by his sing ing; they knew that serpents had absolutely no terrors for him. But a fire. they argued, has no life, no mind. therefore it cannot be hypno- tiZed tanned or lulled'

CAUSE OF THE HIGH PRICES
MlddIeren Produce Nothing, but Wax
Fat on Labor Of Producer and
Ultimate Consumer.

1t makes US tired to hear some peo-
pie blame the farmer for the high
prices Of food products. Such people
do not know anything about the sub.
ject they attempt to discuss. Because
they are obliged to pay 40 cents for
water melon they are certain that
the farmer gets at least 35 cents for
the melon. Such people have no
reasoning powers at all. They live
In little world OF about ten miles In
diameter and are wholly unacquainted
with the problems Of the world at
large. The fact is that the Indiana
farmer gets about ten cents for the
melon TINT the consumer in Racine
pays 40 cents for. Go into any city
restaurant and ask for a cut OF water
melon. You will get a slice which Is
one-sixth or one-seventh OF a whole
melon and you will pay ten cents for
1t. the price the farmer receives for
the whole melon. Where does the
other 40 or so cents 90 to?
A melon grown by the Indiana
farmer passes through the hands OF
two or three commission men before
1t reaches the Wisconsin consumer,
says the Wisconsin AgrIculturist.
Two different railroad companies get
whack at It and finally the grocery.
man gets his profit out OF IT, So that
from the time the Indiana farmer
unloads the melon at his railway sta.
tion, and 1t is placed on the table In
Wisconsin. five different kinds OF busi.
ness get a commission out OF It. Five
middlemen get a profit out OF that
melon and each one gets about as
much as the farmer got for the whole
melon.
These middlemen are parasites.
They produce nothing. but wax fat of
the labor OF the producer and consum.
er. They are the cause OF high prices,
they pay the farmer as little as DOS.
sible and charge the consumer as
much rs he will stand.
THIS story OF the melon Is true OF
all food products. The farmer does
not get enough for his products and
the consumer pays too much for them.
The difference goes into the pockets
OF commission men. railroads. express
companies. grocers. butchers. packing
houses. etc.

the farmer and the consumer can be
brought closer together. thus eliminat

COMMON SENSE IN CORSETS
Stout Woman Must senslbIy Adapt
Herself to Increasing Lines
Of Her Figure.

"Of course It goes without saying
that It is the fat woman who has the
most troubles. This much-harassed
woman must learn that flesh has got
to be accepted. She cannot push It
aside, because that only makes 1t the
more prominent In place where 1t
ought not to be. However, there real.
ly Is a place for all flesh, but all flesh
must be kept in Its place. Be sure to
remember this when you start to re.
duce your figure. Don't try to move
your abdomen up and then compress

place, but It Is moro than perverse
and obstinate where 1t does not be-

woman must stop thinking that she
can wear corset two or three sizes
smaller than she needs by actual
measurement. What earthly difference
does It make whether large, well.
built wouan's waist measures 26 or
30 inches? 1t Is how she looks In her
corset. and how she feels in 1t, that
counts. Let me tell you that the fat
woman looks much better IN corset
an inch or so too large for her. where
her fat can sink down into IT. rather
than in n corset two or three inches
too small which presses her fat up
and out until It appears in many un'
slightly bulges and bumps. A safe
rule to follow Is TO wear corset In
a size three inches smaller than the
waistband OF your dress. For instance.
II your walstband measures 80 Inches,
you can safely and correctly wear a

see, to the stout woman."-Woman's

tones which are extremely delicate.
The vogue for tulle has not abated

Cow That VIII Give Profitable Amount

When farmer has decided to make
COWS his moneymaking stock. the
question arises what breed shall be

list. In the first place. no farmer need
have two or more breeds OF cattle on
the same farm. Let him select the
breed that suits him best and start in
with o pedigreed herd. small or large
as circumstances may dictate. or II he
cannot afford the pedigreed females
use a pedigreed bull on good cross
Of the breed desired: then. having
made his start. stay with the breed as
long as he farms. There is no great
difference among the breeds. Each one
fills Its own place and locality to a
large degree will determine the breed
to be selected. There can be no doubt
OF the value OF the general purpose
COW. and as long as farmers make
money breeding them the type will
not be abandoned.
A COW that will give profitable
