personal effects from the Mehan
home at 4S02 North Hermitage ave-
nue. and to stay away.
His decision, Judge Gibbons be-
lleves will ultimately result in re-
conciliation. Mehan is to enact the
role of suitor, but he is not to sec

Mrs. Mehan sought separate main

she lived as neighbor to her hus-
band, sweeping and cleaning the
house. dressing the children and
making up the beds during his alb

next door to the home of Mrs. Thos.
ODonnell,
For weeks, said Mrs. Mehan, in

NO MORE PARCEL
STAMPS; c. 0. D.
PLAN IN VOGUE

Washington, July 1.-Two new
orders went into effect in the post
Office department today. One means
the passing of the parcel post stamps
and the other is c o. ID. service in
augurated by Uncle Sam.
From now on ordinary stamps
used on letters will serve the same
purpose as the special stamps print
ed for the parcel post system, and
parcel post stamps may be used on
letters. Those unfamiliar with the
new order entered objections today
at the stamp window when their call
for ordinary stamps was answered
with parcel post stamps.
The parcel post which was inaug-
urated January j. 1913, has been
satisfactorily tried during the six
months, and with the new order be-
coming effective today the parcel
post stamps will be disposed of as
rapidly as possible. No more will
be printed when the present supply
is exhausted.
The elimination of the parcel
stamps will work a convenience both
for the public and the government
and in the future the common post
age stamps will be used for both
letters and parcels.
New C. 0 d, Service.
The c. o. d. service went into
effect today also and will no doubt
prove popular. Should merchant
or resident of Cairo desire to send
a package to any town or city in the
United States, Uncle Sam will pro-
tect, send and collect for the pack
age at minimum expense to both
the sender and recipient.
A nominal charge of 10 cents is
required of the sender on a package
VI any Ndlut- Ills itc VI ~ ttutn
insures the packages safe delivery.
The fee charged the recipient corre-
spends to the money order system
and is also nominal. When the
package is delivered the sale. pric'
of the articles contained in the pack
age is collected in addition to the
fee and Uncle Sam sees that the
sender gets his money.
In explaining the new system the
postoffico attaches used as an ex-
ample today package valued at IS
to sent to Chicago. The sendIT
deposits the package at the postoffice
paying the 10 cents insurance
charge The package, upon which
there would be delivery fee of 5
cents. would be delivered to the
purchaser who would pay S5.05. The
sender would then receive his $5.
Red tags used in this new service
have been supplied all offices
throughout the states and many
packages were sent by the c. o. d.
route on the opening day.
