Post Office Notes

At the Putnam post office the special issue of Panama stamps in the one, five and ten cent denominations has been placed on sale.
 The gross receipts at the Putnam post office for the year that closed Dee. 31, 1912, for lthe sale of stamps and stamped paper were Sl6, ,426.39. This is an increase of S42l .43 over 1911. The money order and postal savings de- partment also show large increase. There is no doubt that the receipts dur ing 1913 will be far ahead of any other year in the history of the local office, as the parcel post business is growing constantly.
 Postmaster F. G. Letters has extra men at work in the postal service here this month on account of the parcel post business, which is growing rapid Iy, and on account of one reg ular office clerk being away on his vacation.
 One of the suggestions that Postmas. ter Letters makes in considering the transportation ot parcel post matter Is that cartons, something after the type of corrugated pasteboard shipping boxes, be introduced for use in place of the mail sacks, which are not conve- niently shaped for packing parcels. Postmaster Letters suggests that such carton might have sacking top, fitted to draw up, like the closing ap- paratus on regular sack.

DANGER FROM GRIPPE
Lies in That Cough and Weak,
 Worn-out Condition.

Grippe. pieurisy, pneumonia. these are greatly to be feared at this time of the year.
 To prevent grippe from being fol- lowed by either pleurisy or pneumo- mia, IL is important to drive the last traces of it out of the system quickly
 Our advice is to take vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron prepara- ton without oil, and get your strength and vitality back quickly.
 Mrs. A. A. Grabill, of Strasburg. Va. says: Grippe left me weak. run down and with severe cough. from which I suffered four years. tried different remedies. but nothing seemed 10 do me any good until took vinol, from which I received great benefit My cough is almost entirely gone, and am strong and we'll again. and I am glad to recommend Yinol 10 others who suffer as l did.''
 Try yinol with the certainty that if it does not benefit you we will give back your money.

BALDWIN URGES
 DIRECT VOTE
Pleads for Choice Of Senators
 by Old Plan of 1928
IS NOT 4 PARTY QUESTION
No Reason Why Constitution Should Not Be Promptly Rstified-Con- mon Sense Matter to Be Dealt
 With By the People.

Especial Hartford COrrespondence.)
 Hartford Speaking before the an nual dinner of the Canaan Business Men's association, Gov. Simeon k. Baldwin strongly urged the election of United States Senators by the peo- pie. lie also spoke at some length in d plea for the election of state senators according to the plan recon mended by him in his recent message to the legislature. As to the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people Governor Baldwin said: "Is there any reason why the constitution should not be promptly ratified? It is not in any true sense q party question, though 1t was en- dorsed by two Of the three large par ties IL is a common sense question and as such it ought 10 be dealt with, and 1 believe will be. And one thing of hardly less importance to us in Connecticut is the election of our own senators. Here again is no party question My message recommends return to plan which we followed for nearly 200 years and then unwise- ly abandoned for another. From 1919 to 1928 the people of the whole state chose senators on general ticket, all the electors voting for senators just as they did for governor That mode gave us better men than the district plan. It also gave the people as a whole. the control Of one house, while the towns as such. had control of the other Now, l say. let us go back to the old plan, providing for fair representation for minorities."
