They have expended large sums of

INSTRUCTIONS ON
PARCEL POST
UNCLE SAM is HAVING A TINE
WITH HIS PATRONS WHO FAIL
TO PROPERLY WRAP PACK.
AGES.

The following circular has been
sent out by the postoffice department:
10 the Postmaster:
Complaints have reached the De-
partment of frequent breakage of or
damage to articles sent through the
mails as parcels post, due evidently
to improper packing or wrapping. This
condition indicates clearly that careful
attention is not being given to Section
81, Parcel Post Regulations, which
states plainly that "Postmasters
must refuse to receive for mailing
parcels not properly Endorsed or pack
ed for safe shipment"
Umbrellas, canes, golf sticks, and
articles of like character, must not
be accepted for mailing unless they
are strapped securely to strips of
wood of the same length and are 9th
erwise wrapped and made sufficient
ly strong to withstand the impact
from heavier packages coming against
them in the process of handling in
their various stages of transit.
Perishable articles - particularly
berries and ripe fruit-also paints,
oils, ETC., contact with which would
be destructive to the contents of 9th
err parcels, must be denied admission
to the mails unless the regulations
with reference to packing as set forth
in Section rs to 81 are observed
strictly.
You are cautioned to give this mat
ter particular attention and to instruct
your employees accordingly; also to
give the subject matter appropriate
publicity in your district in order that
the public may be better informed as
to the rules in regard to packing, and
thus guard against the danger of
damage to merchandise they desire to
forward by mail

First Assistant Postmaster General.

These men no doubt stole the Don.

RED HOT ELECTION
next SATURDAY
MANY CLAIM THAT THE SOCIAL.
lists WILL PILE UP MORE
VOTES THAN USUAL - BIG
VOTE WILL BE POLLED.

A red hot election will be held Sat
urday. Three commissioners and one
police magistrate are to be elected.
The Socialists, who have been given
some encouragement of late, seem
'rathss sdpeful. While it is generally
conceded that their candidates will
pile up fairly large vote, it is i'm
possible to believe that Davis, Shaw,
Wilson and Lynch will be defeated.
The Socialists failed to file their pc
titions in time, therefore they will
vote byvsticker alone. Every Social
list will vote. 1t behooves the oppo-
sition to see that every opposing vote
is polled. If the Socialists win, It will
be solely because of the indifference
on the part Of the opposition.
The Socialists are conducting a
daily bulletin this week full of the
usual arguments, chiefly notable be-
cause they cannot be backed up with
facts.

wholly feminine in the school room;
the boys are equally guilty as to dress,
but they err in the other direction.
Dress does not make the man, but It
is q large factor in his making. To be
properly and appropriately clad is to
be at ease with our fellow men, and to
feel at ease and to be comfortable is
to be happy-and that is the first
step toward being good.
To be oddly dressed is more pain.

dressed. A sullen, disagreeable child
was taken to task by her teacher, and
gave as an excuse for her "meanness''
that mother made her wear gingham
aprons, when none Of the other girls
did. Sure enough, not girl in the
room had on long-sleeved gingham
apron. Sensible? OF course the apron
was sensible, but then you see, none OF
the other girls wore them, and she
wanted to be "like other girls" That
mother might better have sacrificed
the child's dress than her disposition.
Children are 50 susceptible to this
feeling of wanting to be like others
that one should be very careful in the
selection of their clothing, and the
style of their garments. The child
should be consulted as to what he shall
wear. His taste may not be good or
wise, but this will afford the mother
an opportunity to develop in her chill
dren that innate part of refinement
known as "good TASTE" She can as
sist them as to wise selections and
teach them to know real values.
The union suit is far the best for
school children. The one-piece gar
ment covers the body with an equal
weight, leaving no rolls of surplus
material about the waist. See that
children's garters are strong and safe,
and fastened to a waist which brings
the weight of the stockings on the
shoulders.
School children do not need many
nor expensive clothes, but they should
have enough to meet the changes of
the weather-and the mother should
inspect the children before leaving
home in the morning. Their clothing
should be plain, neat, stylish and be-
coming.
After some years of experience it
has become a conviction that the i'm
proper clothing in the school room is
due, not so much to poverty, inability
to provide, or overwork on the moth
er's part, but from simple thoughtless-
ness on the part of the parents, who
have forgotten that they were once
children. Then, first, last and all the
time, let it be mother who supervises
the dressing, who inspects every child
as he leaves for school and who
knows but that this inspection will
lead to the goodbye kiss that will
keep the child safe for that day, be.
