one of the eight zones, into which the Post Office Department, has divided the country, the maximum rate being twelve cents a pound, which will car ry a parcel across the continent or to any of the possessions of this country Ali parcels must not be more than feet long or feet in girth- A rnailab1e parcel may be insured against loss in an amount equivalent to it's actual value, but not to exceed $50.
 The United States has been divided into units, thirty minutes square There are eight zones surroundine each unit, the last zone including the Philippine Islands and the farthermost pound package to the islands will cost $1.32
 The parcels post is far more com prehensive than the average person thinks. It is possible under it to send almost any kind of package other than explosives, poisons, fire arms 1ntox- icating beverages or obscene matter Among the mailabie matter are: Butter, eggs, vegeta b1es,- lard. fresh meats, groceries, medicines, pastes, sa1ves, seeds of fruit, nursery stock. soap, flour, meal, millinery, toys, musi- cal instruments, salted, dried and smoked meats; ink powders, pepper, snuff and paper.
 ages, the Post Office Department puts particular stress on the shipment of eggs Each egg must be wrapped sep arate1y and surrounded with excelsior, cotton or other suitable material, and packed in a container made of double corrugated pasteboards metal or wood in such manner as to place each egg on its end and to prevent them from striking together or against the side or top of the conta1ner- They must be so closely wrapped that even in case one should break there would be no leakage out in the other mail.
 Parcels post packages are stamped and mailed just other mail matter the only difference being that special stamps must be used Packages pre- ried at regular mail rates, any differ ence being collected from the address eS The parcels post stamps are all green and measure one by one and half inches-a new size in government stamps They are obtainable in near ly ali denominations up to $1-the sub- tects of the engrayings being:
 1c "Postoffice Clerk
 2c 'tCity Carrier
 Sc Railway Postal Clerk
 4c Plural Carrier
 5c Mail Train"
 10c "Steamsh1p and Mail Tender"
 15c Automobile Service.''
 2oc "Aerop1ane Carrying Mail
 25c Manufacturing.
 soc ''Dairying."
 75c "HarVest1ng.''
 $1 tfFruit-growing.''
 In order that the postmaster in ev- cry city and his patrons may see ex- actly what the charges are for pack ages, every pOstOffice has been. fur nished with special zone" and sunit'' charges for packages sent to any des- tination from that particular office. Preparation of these maps has kept the Department busy for months.

A mean stuffy cold, with hoarse wheezy breathing is just the kind that runs into bronchitis or pneumonia. Don't trifie with such serious condi- tions but take Foley's Honey and Tar Compound promptly.

CHEAP DAYS FOR CONGRESS.

One of the things that Congress got from very
questionable person whom summoned to give it in
formation about the wiles and wickedness Of Wall
Street that the person. testifyng with sort
of pride as to his niquties told Congress he had
prepared resolutions for Congress itself to pass and
had otherwise inspired and promoted Of pro-
cedure for Congress itself to follow in crusading
against financial evils precious to that witness as
food and drink.
That's one of the things Congress learned, with a
stunning shock TO its membership.
A baser, more disgusting, more loathsome condi-
ton of affairs in low politics and low money-snatch-
ing than has been revealed in this nasty busi-
ness the American public has never known
perhaps has never dreamed of. No decent man
could possibly think lightly of the vileness of
that sort of politics and that sort of finance,
vulture-like preying politics and finance. About
that side of it decent man could fail to have a
sensation that is sickening
Nevertheless in spite of the unspeakable moral
degradation and filth there is bound to rise before the
American people the vivid truth that after the story
is told of that turpitude and infamy, it still must be
said that out of it came great big joke-the joke
on Congress.

MUNICIPAL ICE PLANTS.

nonsense thing when he sent few patrol wagons

town and set them at work.

suffering through the worst part of the heated term
Stubbornness based on both sides upon the firm
yicton that the acute necessities of the public would
force settlement, and that the most stubborn side
would win most, brought the town to calamity
There was nothing to be done except what the mayor
did ..
This case illumnes better than most strikes the
fact that the public is the chief sufferer by such per-
formances, and that the publics suferngs are made

lies goatship is 40 longer calmly accepted as dis

Too Hot to Celebrate.
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
1t seems a pity that. IL a reunion
was desired at Gettysburg. some other
date could not have been selected for
1t. The associations would have been
Just the same, and the conditions
thousand times more pleasant. IL it
had not been held at the height of the
summers heat. / am afraid this thing
will be the finish of a good many OF
the veterans The journey, the ex-
citement, the change of food and
water, and the strenuous time in all
respects will be dangerous as the bull
let's were in war times. Gettysburg
is ill-fitted to receive and care for
such a crowd. Even the ordinary
Fourth Of July and Decoration Day
crowds overtaX its resources. The
outlook is not a pleasant one to me.
The same thing may be said of the
Fourth Of July celebration here. Mid
summer is no time for parades; and
certainly no time for children to
parade. The wise parent keeps the
children of the street, and as quiet as
possible when the hot weather comes.
n is a grave risk to turn them out
on the Avenue at p. m. OF a blazing
summer day.
The trouble with US is that we are
too hysterical. We are always plan
ming great things in the way of re-
unions. and parades, etc, but never
stop TO think how they will work out.
