FIGHTING DISEASE GERMS

There is popular idea that most sick ness is caused by 8 germ of the disease finding entrance to our bodies through the food we eat, the water or milk we drink or the air we breathe. This is true As far as it goes but it is also true that disease germs are entering our bodies every day without causing disease.
 The reason for this is that there are forces within the body that are constant ly fighting these disease germs and it is only when this defence is weakened that the germs get the upper hand and we be- come ill. One of the most powerful of these forces that work for health is rich, red blood. Good, healthy blood increases the resistance of the body to the dis eases that are always threatening. It is easier to keep up this resistance by taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills, eating proper food, avoiding articles of food that do not agree with us and getting plenty of fresh air day and night, than it is to cure disease after it gets 8 foot hold. Keep up the resistance of your body to disease by these tonic pills, which you can get at any drug store, and you will avoid much sickness.
 Two booklets, "Building Up the Blood'' and "What to Eat and How to Eat, " will be sent free by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y

MAIL CAR TESTED
 FIFTY YEARS AGO
Now Ninety Per Cent. of Mail is
 Separated There.

New York, Aug. 2s.-Fifty years ago today the worlds first railway fnail car was given its official test. Two mice were responsible for the idea. Before that day the mail was distributed according to addresses at certain designated post offices, which usually were the distributing points of whole states. It was slow and labor ious work. At one of these dis tributing points, Green Bay, Mich, a nair of mice made their home in pouch that had lain in the post office for several days When the pouch finally reached it's destination. near the upper shores of Lake Superior, the receiving post master found not only the rodent home seekers, but also a large family of little mice. They had made beds of chewed- up letters. The post master reported The matter to the Chicago office and sent along the mice as an exhibit which was received by George B. Armstrong, the assistant postmaster, To prevent a repetition of such an occurrence, Armstrong sought to speed up the mail service, and finally
New Britain herald., 1914-08-28

evolved the idea of having the mail distributed on the trains while in transit. The plan was ridiculed. One man declared: The government will have to employ a regiment of men to follow the trains to pick up the let ters that would be blown out of the cars.' However, the first postal car an ordinary baggage car equipped with racks and pigeon holes, made it's initial run from Chicago to Clinton, Iowa, fifty years ago today.
 Today every nation in the civilized world is distributing a large part of it's mail matter in railway mail cars. In the United States over 18,0O0 rail- way mail clerks are separating over 90 per cent. of all the mail originating in this country and a large volume coming from foreign lands. They have separated in single year nearly 23, 900, 0O0,0OO pieces of mail matter, not including registered mail. They travel an aggregate distance of 5OO,- 000,000 miles every year on the 27,000 domestic transportation routes having a com bined mileage of 450, 900 miles. The service has been raised to the highest point of efficiency today and the present ratio of errors in distrib- ution has been reduced to one i'll 10000 pieces. of mail. The clerks are expected to distribute the mail so that there will be no rehandling in the post offices of large cities and to separate it into packages correspond ing with each mail carriers route in the cities. In the case of the largest cities they must separate it according to section substations. Considering the speed at which the clerks sort the mail, the swaying of the train plunging along at fifty miles an hour, the thousands of railway connecting points, the locations of over 6O,OOO post offices in the United States. and the illegibility of the handwritten ad- dresses, 1t becomes a marvel how the railway mail clerk can work without greater proportion of er- TOTS,

we saw no way out for a time.
 "The New York supply was too small to consider European eX- change was entirely suspended. Mer- chant ships had ceased running.
 But we have an almost worl1- wide organization, and We brought it at once into play. We are the world S largest buyers of high-grade rubber, so we have our own experts in Lon don, Colombo, Singapore and Para.
 We cabled our London people to buzz up the pick of the rubber there. By acting quickly and paying cash they obtained 100000 pounds of the finest rubber there. They bought fe- fore the advance-before the other buyers saw a way to get London ex- change or to bring the rubber here.
 That big supply of rubber is now nearly all on the way to the Goodyear factory in Akron. It constitutes the best of the London supply. On the grades remaining, prices have since been rapidly advanced.
 We have since taken other steps

War and Houscmaids.
(Detroit Free Press. )

They tell us that the great war in for America in two departments where least expected. They say it will practically solve the housemaid problem for the United States and that it will lessen divorce in this and in every other country.
 1t is argued that in times of war husband and wives come to think more truly of one another, to avoid the pettinesses which in times Of peace lead to disputes and disunion, and that as war calls many men away to hardships and death. lessening the number of males those wno remain are the more prized by women and less likely to desert or to indulge in outbreaks leading to wreck of mari al relations.
 1t is also Argued that as hundreds of thousands of men are likely to die in the battles in Europe there will be thousands Of more or jess deAsrutc widows and orphaned girls thrown on their own resources who pit! ro.ss- 10 America as rapidly as possible to seek employment in domestic ser vice at almost any rate Of wages and on almost any terms.
 If these predictions are verified by the outcome of events one r"Xed prob- lem of social life will veN he wn, ld appre ciably and gratifyIngly less. and one problem of the housewife will be almost oibliterated. Thus some good may arise from the smoking battle- fields

to insure us a continuous supply, all of the highest grade rubber. In all the chief sources of rubber supply we have experts on the ground. All is being done that can be done to se- cure the best rubber, the exchange to pay for it and the ships to bring it here.
 "'The result is that Goodyear tire prices are now the same as in June. This is true, we believe, of no other maker, all of whom have raised prices. We are using the same grade of rubber and the same amount of it as we always have used in these tires.
 we are running our factory with three shifts of men, twenty-four hours day. So long as we remain in this fortunate position on rubber we shall supply tire users at before war prices to the limit of our capacity

Hartford, Aug. 2S.-A bitter attack upon Governor Simeon E. Baldwin and his candidacy for the United States senatorship, was made last light by ex-Senator Thomas J. Spell lacy in addressing a meeting of third ward democrats, who favor the nom- ination of Prof. Willard c. Fisher, of Middletown, for governor. MT.

WAR STIMULATING
 DOMESTIC TRADE Various Branches Ee!ng Aided,
 According to Reports.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Foreign ad- vices exercised a depressing influence at this financial center yesterday. Re- ported further success of the German arms found reflection in another ad- vance in exchange cables on London being quoted at 5.06 1-2, an increase of one per cent. over Wednesday. Few long bills were offered, but local banks were in close touch with their Lon don and Paris correspondents en- deavoring to increase the supply and effect a resultant decline in rates.
 Negotiations for the opening of credits by Austria, Italy and Swift zerland were again under way, but no headway was made, so far as could be learned. Despite denials in high quarters, it is believed that d syndicate of bankers is in process of organization for the purchase of some of the German ships now lying in this and other American ports. The sue cess of this project depends, # is said, largely on the outcome of re- ports now being exchanged between this city and London.
 Stimulating Domestic Trade.
 Taking some of the days reports at the1r lace value It appears that the war is stimulating various branch es of domestic trade. Apart from the demand from South America, des- patches from Chicago, the south and other points suggest a growing inquiry for manufactured products, includ- ing steel and iron, with large orders for oil and cut lumber. More rail- roads are lifting the embargo on food stuffs recently declared at Louisiana and Texas ports. There was more sensational trading in wheat and corn at Chicago, with general recessions at the close. It was regarded as sig nificant that seaboard shippers paid highest prices recorded today. do- mestic handlers being content to wait for a subsistence of the excitement. Receivership for the International Pump company occasioned little sur- prise, the affairs of the company hav- ing been matter of general knowl- edge. It is not doubted the embar- rassment was hastened by the foreign situation.
 Quoted Rates Unchanged.
 Another gain of cash by local banks for the current week is indicated by the movement to date. Payments by these institutions to the sub-treasury are more than offset by receipts from the interior. Quoted rates for money were unchanged with a minimum of | dealings.

advocated by the governor at the last general assembly as the basis for fur ther attacks. He criticized his dis tribution of patronage in Hartford county, and said the governor was guilty of embezzlement of power" He did not think he was a man for the United States senate, and declared that if he was elected, he would greatly hamper President Wilson,"
 Prof. Fisher also spoke.
