The use OF the travels post il primar'
lily for the shipment Of small packages
between private individuals. and mol
between the farmer and dealer or com.
mission man.
Herein is another advantage of the
parcels post: It offers the city man an
opportunity of dealing directly with the
farmer. If the products are not salts
factory, he can make his complaint di-
rect to the man who produces them, in
stead Of to dealer. The farmer, on
the other hand, has the chance to sell
his goods direct to the consumer on their
merits. and, If he makes high grade Of
butter. to get the benefit-of it, instead
of selling It to dealer who mixes il
in with an inferior article in order to
make the latter sell.
Afarmer can ship his goods through
the post and have collection made for
them when delivered and RENTED to
him for very small sum, and. of
course, the merchant can do the same
in shipping his goods to the farmer.
This affords an ideal way for the city
man to deal with the farmer, as he need
not accept the products unless they
come in satisfactory condition, and the
farmer knows that his products will not
be delivered until they are paid for.
The convenience of the system is one
of its good FEATURES. Parcels are taken
up and delivered in the country as we'll
as in the city. Every part Of Germany
has at least one mail delivery day,
and the greater part of it two.
Many remedies are proposed in Amer
lea for reducing the cost Of distribution,
such as cooperative buying from the
farmers by city people, and having the
goods distributed from common point.
But here is service that is general,
It Is part of the Government mail, and
can be utilized any place by one person
or by a thousand. We may theorize
about how the profits Of the middleman
can be reduced, and the expense of dis
tribution decreased, and the distance be-
tween producer and consumer shortened;
but where are we to get,a more simple
and effective solution than by establish
ing parcels post ? What will do more
to reduce the cost of living to the men
in the city and to increase the income OF
the farmer than to have them deal d.
rectly with each other through the par
cells post?
When one sees what convenience
the parcels post is. and how much it
means to the economic prosperity and
welfare of both the man in the city and
the man on the farm, it is hard to realize
how any interests have been strong
enough to hold back legislation estab-
fishing it in our own country.

Output Will Exceed that Of Last Year
II Weather Is Good -Peach Buds in
Lowlands Only Killed
Advices received regarding the con-
dition Of the growing peach and apple
crops in northwestern Virginia and the
Eastern Panhandle and South Branch
Valley-convince the experts that all
signs point to good crop of apples.
They also believe that. while in the
lowlands peach buds, and in some in
stances the trees themselves. were kill
ed by the zero weather last winter, only
q comparatively small portion of the
buds in the uplands were killed, and
that the number will not exceed that
which would have to be thinnpd out
later in the season.
This conclusion has been arrived at
after careful examination of the trees.
all of which, otherwise present an un-
usually healthy and thrifty appearance
with the soil in splendid condition.
Owing to many new apple orchards
coming into bearing, barring unfavor-
able weather from now on, the apple
yield will considerably exceed that of
last year. Spraying has been started,
and it is believed that mere thinning
will be done this season than ever be-
fore, as result of the comparatively
low prices received last year for all
but fancy stock.
The mountain orchards in the Hamp-
shire Mineral peach belt, came through
the winter unhurt. The t'Knobley
Mountain" orchard and others belong
ing to the Miller interests, as well as

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining OF the Eusta-
chan Tube When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result. and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inilamed condi-
ton Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
