 Anything less than II pounds in weight and 72 inches in combined length and girth may be mailed, ex- cept live animals, intoXicants and eX- plosives Vegetables and fruits which do not decay quickly will be accepted for delivery in any; zone, if so packed that they will not damage other mail matter.

 For a fee of 10 cents parcel may be insured, and if the parcel is lost in the mails an idemrity'. to the amount of its value, not to exceed $50, will be paid to the sender. 'l.
 "As long as we can send the mail carrier back to town more heavily loaded than he came, the parcel post will not do the farmer any harm, and
 it is not going to do the. country merchant any great injury because the farmer does not buy his sugar and flour, or his dry goods furniture and hardware in eleven- n-pound pack ages. The country merchant can mail an eleven pound package to his cust omer on a rural route for 15'cents whereas the Chicago, merchant has % pay 6S cents toal oha the same 'reight. That's another good thing It would be a poor parcel post system hat did not work both ways.

.LIFE'S.STRUGGLE
 WITH ILLNESS
Mrs. Stewart Tells How She Suffered from 16to45 years
 old-How Finally Cured.

Euphemia, Ohio.--" Because of total ignorance of how to care for myself when verging into womanhood, and from taking cold when going to school, suf- fered from a displacement, and each month had severe pains and nausea which always meant a lay off from work for two to four days from the time 1 was 16 years old.
 "Iwent to Kansas to live with my sis ter and while there doctor told me of the Pinkham remedies but did not use them then as my faith in patent medi- cines was limited. After my Sister died I came home to Ohio .to live and that has been my home for the last IS years.
 "The Change of Life came when was AZ years old. and about this time saw my physical condition plaifily described in one of your adveertisemefits Then I began using Lydia B. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound and l cannot tell you or any one the relief it gave me in the first three months. It put me right where I need not lay off every month and during the last IS years 1 have not paid out two dollars to doctor, and have been blest with excellent health for we-, woman of my age and can thank Lydia E. Pinkham 'sVegetableC Compound forit.
 "Since the Change of Life is over I have been maternity nurse and being wholly self-supporting I cannot, over , estimate the value of good health. l have now earned a comfortable little home just by sewing and nursing since l was 52 years old. I have recommended the Compound to many with good re-. suits, as it is excellent to take before. and after childbirth. Miss EVELYN ADEL1A STEWART, Euphemia, Ohio.

PARCEL POST. WORKS f0R GENERAL GOOD Farmer Will Profit Greatly, If He Bestirs Himself, While Country Merchant
 Can Also Gain.
PRODUCER CONSUMER
Butter. Eggs, Poultry and Light Stun Can Be Sold By Farmer Di-
 rect at City Prices.

Pointing out clearly exactly why
 Jhe farmer, the merchant ill the neighboring city and the country storekeeper should all aid in making : the parcel post a success, because all of them are destined to profit by its operation, if advan age of the oppor- tunnity is taken, the Arkansas Far mer and Homestead, in it's current sssue says:
 . Long before the present parcel post sys, em was put in operation the merchant began to devise means for extending his trade into the rural dis tricts, The same privilege wAich en- able the storekeeper to deliver his goods through the mail permits the farmer to send his products-bauter, poultry, eggs and egetables-direet to the consumer. The parcel post is a ouble-action affair, and if the farmer uses it as the merchants are sure to use it there is going 70 be big difference in the profits that the farmer gets for the things sle markets, as we'll as for the things he buys.
 In the past it has been common thing to see the farmer, his wife or some other member of his family on the country road with a basket of egGs in the buggy, or bucket Of butter on the horn of the saddle going to town to sell the produce, sometimes in such small quantities that he returns with hardly pay for the time and trouble of making the trip, especially if the roads are bad.
 With the parcel post there should be DO more of this, and the farmer need not go to town only when he has full load and can make the trip with profit. Under the new order he can bundle up his eggs and butter dressed meat and vegetables, and give them to the mail carrier who passes his front gate. In few hours the goods are delivered, not to the dealer, but to the very door of the city customer, just as the goods of the merchant are delivered to the farmer.
 "A pound of butter in Little Rock at the time this article is written, is worth 50c. The postage on a pound of butter and it wrapped would not exceed s cents from any one of the hundred postoffices in the fifty-mile zone leaving 42e for the farmer, who can sell at the prevailing city price. Eggs are worth 35c i'll the city. The farmer can pack and mail them and get 25 cents at his front gate. On dressed poultry, light vegetables and many other things of the farm there is greater profit.
 Tn town or city all parcels must be mailed at the postoifice, but along rural routes they may be given to the carriers.
 When you mail letter it requires 2 cents postage, whether the corre- spondence is going to neighboring town or to Alaska. With parcel post it is different. The fee is fixed by the distance the package will go. To points within the fifty-mile radius of the first pound and cents for each additional pound. Rates increase for

BOIL THE WATER

Owing to a scarcity of spring wa
ter in the wells at the pumping plant
it will be necessary to pump river
water into the mains.
Saafest thing for water consumers
to do is to boil it before using it for
drinking purposes. A little precau-
ton now may mean the prevention
of an epidemic. Mayor Cohen has
called up the railroads and factories
in the city and asked them to be as
sparing s possible of the city wa
ter. Every effort has been made to
avoid the pumping in Of the river
water. During the latter part of the
last administration tests were made
in certain localities and an effort
made to find some place where an AIDE
quate supply Of coed water could be
obtained Nothing further was uone
about the matter so far as is i-nS n.
There is no doubt but that the pres
ent administration will take this yer.
important matter up and a water sup
ply be secured that will be sufficient
for the needs OF the city for many
years to come. The shortage Of wa
ter last summer and this shortage nov
has shown that the present supply
can not be relied upon and that it is
very necessary to locate and addi-
tional supply of pure water for the
city.

PPARATUS IS
OUT Of ORDER

Some people have been wondering
why the fire alarms have not been
sounded on the whistle at the Con-
solidated plant. The reason is a sim
pie one. The alarm apparatus, which
consists of large gong operated from
the telephone exchange, has been out
Of order. Mayor Joseph A. Cohen
ordered an investigation, which re-
suited in, learning that the apparatus
was not in working order. The mayor
has instructed the telephone company
to make the necessary repairs and
have the alarm put in working order.
The man whose duty it was. to
sound the fire whistle at the Conso-
idated plant had no other way of
knowing that there wa~ a fire. He
certainly can not be blamed Cor the
apparatus being out of order.
