ABOUT THE PARCELS POST.

The Herald is glad to note that the
regulations governing Parcels Post
just approved by Postmaster Gener-
al Hitchcock include among the
UNAVAILABLE articles. Spurious,
vinous matted, termented or other
intoxicating liquors of any kind as
well as pistols or revolvers, wheth-
er in detached parts or otherwise. .
This is victory for progressive re-
form sentiment now coming more
and more to domineer and that just
ly the affairs of government of the
government of the land. It was
thought a short while back that the
liquor forces would succeed in hay-
ing their good transmitted by the
Parcels Post when inaugurated, for
its understood that it's gradually to
supplant the robber express com
panies with its service. Happy it is
that our post-ofices are not to be
forced like the local depots, to be-
come regular distributing stations
for wet goods. whether or not the
community so favors or the agent
himself likes the task. We foresee
that this will be an entering wedge
for control IN an easier way OF the
transmission of 'intoxicants" in
years to come, and on this wise:
when the parcels post rate is reduc-
ed after the experimental period is
past, SO much so that it will gradu-
ally destroy the express companies,
or at least their business in certain
portions of the country, then the
people can force Uncle Sam by prop
er pressure to forbid through this
method of carriage SO directly under
his control, the hauling of liquors bv
fast service only to those legitimate
ly entitled by evidence to such priv
llege, such as habitual tOappers and
physicians, and church officials for
sacramental purposes. Then the re-
strlction can be better drawn and
enforced. Meantime the express
companies can go on having their
sweet time OF hauling this part of the
quick transportation goods, while
the postal dept. will haul the cleaner
class of commodities.

Press Doing Much For Mississippi.

Forest Register.
Sometimes it is permissible for the
press to pause In its altrustic labors
for the uplift of humanity and be-
stow upon itself a few words of well
deserved appreciation. At some
time in the future Mississippi will
appreciate the great obligation she
is under to the newspapers of the
state. They have been answering
friends, and boosters, 1t is through
their efforts almost entirely that she
has become known TO world. To
them is due the great credit of set
ting the tide of immigration to the
state and her future growth depends
largely on the support of the men of
the rem whose answering loyalty
has been proven and whose future
loyalty is assured.

ALCOHOL BRINGS ONLY HARM
German Ministry of Education DIE
courages Use OF Wine, Beer and
Brandy by Children.


The German ministry OF education
recently approved the following notice
to be distributed by the board OF
health:
Give your children not drop OF
wine! Not a drop of beer! Not a
drop of brandy
Why! Because alcohol of any kind,
even in the smallest quantity. brings
only harm.
l. Alcohol checks bodily and mem
tai development.
e. Alcohol leads quickly to exhaus-
ton and makes heaviness and mat
tention in school.
8. Alcohol causes disobedience to
parents.
4. Alcohol develops sleeplessness
and early nervousness.
5. Alcohol endangers the mortality
of children
6. Alcohol weakens the resisting
power of the body and thereby leads
to the development of all kinds of dis
eases.
I. Alcohol prolongs the duration OF
every illness.
8. Alcohol continually awakens re-
newed thirst, and on that account
leads easily to habits of drinking.

INJURY WROUGHT BY ALCOHOL
Same Effects and Conditions as Pro
duced by Initiated Air-lnterferes
With Repair OF Tissues

Many OF you have been in close
room, and after time you have felt
sense of suffocation; your face has
got flushed and you have felt head
ache coming on, and you have felt a
lassitude which is very characteristic
of the want Of fresh air. or the condi-
ton produced by fresh air In room.
Alcohol produces exactly the same
conditions, exactly the same effects;
it produces exactly the same lassi-
tude. First of all it produces a feel
ing of well-being because 1t impairs
sensation, but after time it induces
a condition of lassitude, the face be-
comes flushed, the head very often
aches simply because alcohol is act
ing In the same way that the bad air
in a room acts. 1t inkrferes with the
repair of the tissues, thus getting rid
of the waste of the tissues and the
work of the tissues.-Dr. Sims Wood

daughter, In order TO help her mother,
who was practically without an In
come, obtained place az clerk In
dry goods store. Her beauty attracted
much attention, and through friend
she procured money to go to New
York and study for the stage.
A wealthy woman whom Miss Davis
met in New York hired her to go to
Europe with her as companion for two
years. In a hotel in Vichy, Signor
Moschini, then on vacation tour,
caught sight of the western girl and
fell in love with her. He sought an
introduction, and, passionate Latin
that he Is, proposed marriage at once.
Captivated by his graceful manners
and blinded by the glamor of wealth
and visions of high court life, Olga
Davis accepted. He bundled his pref
ty fiancee to Rome, where the mayor
performed a marriage ceremony.
Signora Moschini became at once
one of the most brilliant figures at the
Quirinal functions. Her social sue
cess was remarkable. She became a
friend of Senator Crepe. dean of the
worlds diplomatists; Prince Casaffa
and the Marquis Rudini, and rode in
the exclusive Roman fox hunt. Then
gradually the horrible fact was re
vealed to her that 1t was only an or
nament-not a wife-that the wealthy
deputy had sought.
II
In letter to the local press Signor
Moschini says:
Il purposely remained silent while
that person called Lulu Davis re
manned in prison. l now ask that a
check be put on the stories circulat-
ed till justice has spoken.
Without departing from necessary
reserve / will merely state that the
reasons for my action are not none
tary. have something / value a
thousand times more. namely, the pur-
ity of my name.
My legitimate desire would be rem
dered useless did l not seek with
proofs that which justice will know
how to deal with-to annul tie which
was a consequence Of error and de
ceit."
Signora Moschini was released from
jail on November IT through a court
order Moschini sued for an annul.
ment of marriage last March, but the
case was thrown out of court. and he
was ordered to pay his wife $500 all
mony monthly.

KEEP THE CLERK GUESSING
Patrons Of Hotel Make Odd Requests
Of the Man in Charge of the
Desk.

Nothing with a seven in IT, was
a remark made to clerk at the
Raleigh by a stylishly gowned woman
who had registered and been assigned
room 723. The clerk, of course,
changed the lady to another room,
says the Washington Post.
BET she's an actress remarked
the clerk to William Gunnell, an old
time hotel man of Virginia, who was
at the desk.
That's a good bet" remarked Mr..
Gunnell. I'm my experience in the
hotel business I have run up against
many peculiar superstitions In this
case the woman undoubtedly Is super
stitious about the number T. Why, /
am sure do not know, for never
heard anything unlucky connected
with Z. I used to have more trouble
with persons who objected to occupy
Ing room with the number Is In it,
and we found SO many persons who
would not take such room that we
finally had to cut out the number al
together In most of the larger hotels
now you win find that there are no
thirteens.
Perhaps the most annoying thing
to the clerk of hotel is the man who
wants room high up or low down.
Generally it is a person with generous
avoirdupois who desires to be given
top story room, where the windows
can be thrown open and the air al.
lowed to circulate The lower floors
are the ones wanted by timid persons,
or persons who have some time or
another been in an accident or a fire.

people who patronize hotels are more
prosperous or because the populace is
getting cleaner. In Europe, you know,
there are few hotels that are provided
with a great number of rooms with
private baths. Over there the people
don't seem to care so much for bath

Certain short draped coats of sup

A model of this type usually is loosely

not all around, and the model, while
Eood-looking if well worn, is becoming
only to the exceptional woman.
Many Of the new fur coats are made
without collars for greater convenience

Injurious garments these Innings are

Have WIDE CHOICE IN COATS Nav VOGUE IN cAMDLEsTcKs
Those of Glass or Delicate chinaware
Have Replaced the More Elaborate
Silver Ones.

The newest candlesticks are of iri-
descent glass, and their effect is
charmingly festive, though they are
not so dignif1ed as the handsome, we'll
cared-for silver ones Of tradition.
Sometimes these glass candlesticks
have shades OF deeper tinted glass
also. Dresden candlesticks that have
long been treasured for their dainty
beauty alone are also being brought
out into action by some smart hos
tesses. Now that we no longer crowd
our tables with flowers these precious
things have chance of being seen to
advantage. They are most effective
when no large tablecloth, but only
lace and linen mats are used on
beautifully polished table. White
candles, unshaded or with white or
pale pink shades, should be used with
them.
The fortunate chatelaine who pos
sesses Canton china is now searching
for candlesticks of the same ware
and shades painted in water color
with designs to match the china.
The prospective bride, instead of
having set after set of silver candle
sticks, will be delighted to receive
carved ivory ones instead. This hint.
of course, is only for wealthy friends.
for ivory candlesticks are not cheap.
Shades should be made for them o.
