Mail Your Books By Parcel Post
 After Next Monday

Books, conforming to size and weight of the parcel post matter, will be mai1abIe under the new rules of the department, commencing March 16. This happy decision, while pro mulgated from Washington some weeks ago. does not become effective until Monday morning, when it will afford great relief to thousands w11o o desire to send such publications to their friends, as we'll as making book merchant and publisher much hap pier.
 The packages must weigh more than eight ounces to be accepted at the parcels post rate, or the present third class specification of two ounces or fraction thereof for one cent will still apply. It was stated at the post office department today that it was expected this new acceptance will re- suit in large volume of business.
 It has been found in practice that shippers of miscellaneous printed matter now sent by parcel post in bulk are frequently mistaken in send ing packages of less than four pounds in weight In order to secure parcel post rates the weight must exceed tn ts figure or the old third class rate of two ounces for one cent is to be charged.

 WAR TAX LEVIED OlE
 THEM IN GERMANY

Berlin, March 11-The German- American Commercial Union has en- tered a protest through the United States embassy to the German gov ernment against the imposition of Che new war tax on American resIdeut1 in Germany.
 By law passed last yea. in com nection with the increase of the Ger man army, all persons in Germany with an income of over $75O and up to $2,500 a year have to pay an extra tax of one-half of one per cent.
 The tax increases progressively up to 2 per cent. on incomes of $1zs5oo and over.
 Several European powers are about to make a joint protest based on a clause of the German treaties with Russia, Greece, Italy. and Eeouma-nia exempting subjects of those couHtrlen from taxation levied under edtraordi- nary occasions.
 The United States, 1t ia pointed oue. would benefit by the "most favored nation treatment if this DrOteH should be successful

The Depart ment of Agriculture's scientists have decided that this is the most appro- priate name for tht insect commonly known as the house fly, which is a most dangerous creature, although considered at most, simply a nuisance I by many people.
 This fly is one of the most active Iagents in spreading typhoid fever. It spreads Asiatic cholera and other dis eases of the intestines. It has even i been known to be @ minor factor in spreading tuberculosis. If the name of the typhoid fly could, be populariz- ed. perhaps a more general idea could be given of the danger that turks wherever the pest is present.
