New Lighting And Cleaning Devices At Post Office To
 Help In Holiday Business

Much progress has been made in the. post office and custom house with the new lighting and vacuum cleaning system which is being installed. Al ready the general mail room has been equipped with the new system of light ing and great improvement is noted over the old type. Carriers, distrib- utors and stamping clerks. are given a flood of light which. has heretofore been unknown and which will greatly relieve the eyes.
 The offices throughout the building are now being equipped and are soon expected to be completed. The vacuum cleaning system will greatly facilitate the cleaning of the building.
 Though no rush is expected during the Thanksgiving period, and no adE1i- t1onal clerks or carriers will be needed, a large additional inf1ux of postal mat ter is expected for the Christmas hoI- idays, especially as the parcel post which was inaugurated this year has grown beyond the most sanguine local expectations.
 In order to anticipate the rush, cards are being posted about the city today requesting that Christmas parcels be mailed early, wrapped securely, and plainly marked. It is suggested that parcels sent before Christmas be mark ed Do Not Open Until Christmas
 PerSons who desire to mail any quantity of ''insured,' parcels may pur- chase insurance tags and take then home for preparation, but upon mail ing the packages they must be pre- sented at the registry window that record may be made. They must not be put in the regular mail boxes or ehutes. This will also apply to c. o. D. packages during the holiday sea- son.
 On Thanksgivirs oav therA will 7,e 10 carrier delivery, though it is likely that the stamp and general delivery windows may remain open. Decision in this matter will be made tomorrow

 For Visiting Nurses

In an attempt to raise g, 500 to be used principally in the treatment and care of tubercular patients, the vis- iting nurses have arranged to have Red Cross holiday seals for sale dur ing the holidays and have already blocked out their crusade. Two years ago they cleared $7OO from this proce- dure, 90 per cent. of the amount real ized became available for work local 1y and the doing of unestimated good. The headquarters for the sale will be at the nurses headquarters, in the police and charities building.
 Women and girls willing to assist them in having the seals generally sold are invited to either call or communicate with those in charge. It is pointed out that there are many suffering from tuberculosis, who are too proud to apply for assistance and treatment at the state institutions but situated so that they are unable o secure he reament hat they need.
