Recently I received inquiry to whether milk
could be sent by parcel post The regulations exempt
certain liquids like dangerous acids alcohol in any
form; but beyond the specified prohibited items any
liquid may be sent metal containers be sealed against
leakage and then nclosed strong box and securely
wrapped Glass containers of course, must be likewise
protected; but the of glass is and
it hoped that eventually containers made of strong,
light metal-aluninum for instance-will be used for

Pershable articles, particularly berries and ripe
fruits also paints oils, and the like contact with which
would be destructive to the contents of other parcels
must be denied admission to the mails unless the regua
tions with reference to packing strictly complied
with Before this order enforced there were often
instances where careessness in this regard had caused
damage to other mail. Umbrellas canes golf sticks,
and articles of like character must be securely strapped
to strips of wood of the length and made suficl
ent.y strong to withstand the impact from heavier
packages coming against them in the process of handling
their stages transit and at the time
to protect other parcels from being damaged by such
pointed objects.
Sending perishable edible products by parcel post
attempted from the very first day the system
put in operation, either test or joke. But during
the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays people availed
themselves of the facility at their disposal to obtain
fresh and cheap poultry from nearby produce farms The
postmaster Omaha for instance, reported that
than five hundred turkeys and chickens received
Thanksgiving morning, and all had been delivered
by eleven o'clock The packages containing this poul-
try of local orign-that to say, from points
adjacent to and surrounding Omaha-and shipped to
persons who had either arranged to obtain the birds d
recty from uptodate producers or had received them
from friends or relatives.
The question of poultry, though has been somewhat
complicated by game laws, and this point deserves to
be made clear. The Illinois Game & Fish Conservation
Commission wrote asking if game could be shipped by
parcel post violation of the law in that State prohibit
ing such shipments Several States have brought this
matter before the department. but Congress has not
placed in the parcel post any other postal law any
provision making unmaiable such articles shipped in
violation Of the laws of State Territory postmasters
must accept game for shipments under certain regua
TONS This does not however, operate against the
right of any State official to proceed under his laws
against parties violating them, except that employees

be some instances in which the rate would be higher

equalization of the basis of COST the present

am glad to say, however, that although any action
toward consolidating the third and fourth classes of mail
will be taken gradually, the first change went into effect
in March toward classifying books to preferential rates.
but it must be remembered that in admitting third
class mail matter to parcel post the present hdclass
rates will be retained parcels weighing eight
less. In other words, the present thirdcass
will apply indefinitely all thrdclass matter weigh

because it showed that stimulated business

DIVINE FORESIGHT
EQU|PS FOR CRISIS
Rev. MIR. Parker Sees Gods
Work in Way Men Meet
Emergencies.

The way in which men and women
rise to meet crisis in modern times
is a manifestation of Gods thoughts
for the world. said B. e. Parker in his
sermon, THE Woman of the Hour" at
the First Methodist church yesterday
morning. The Rev. Mr.. Parker said:
I'm history as in nature God is as
truly present in orderly processes as
He is in the extraordinary and spec
tacular event. We do not need a ship
wreck. an earthquake or great war
to make God known. He may be seen
in the gradual unfolding of his pur-
nose revealed in perfectly accountable
ways as in these unusual and spectac-
ular events the Significance of which
to the thinking man is uncertain to
say the least. The gradual moral.
social, ethical, advance of the world
is the final and conclusive proof of
God in history.
Let a crisis arise. The fact that
God has q commanding personality
trained and ready to meet it is the
GROWING evidence that the world has
not fallen from the Fathers thoughts.
These persons are not creations of the
hour but for the hour. The man Of
the hour is as truly a sign of God in
the world as an angel from heaven and
God may not be mentioned in this
book but in tho manner in which He
leads the noble queen to her oppor
tunity we see the CLEAN Of diety ath-
wart these pages"
The Mems Bible class taught by
Rev. J. l.. Hutchens attended the SER
vice In body. The pastors proposal
in the morning sermon to place the
church on q sound financial basis met
with the enthusiastic approval of the
congregation. The plan proposed will
be put into effect Immediately. Five
persons united with the church during
the day. Announcement was also
made that this church will comply
with President Wilson's request to
observe Sunday, October 4th, as day
Of prayer for the worlds peace. Com
mittees were also appointed to pre-
pare for the participation of the
church in the Wayne County Rally,

His Pathetic Life
Battle at an End
Story of Pathetic Struggle Is Re
vealed at Death of Aged
Savannah Man.

SAVANNAH, Jan. 1o.-The pathet-
c story of man who made heroic
battle through life and lost, was re-
vealed to-day in an investigation into
the death Of w. G. Fairchild, aged 60,
who was found in a squaiid room at
his boarding house. He had been
dead three days
Fairchild was of one of the old
families of the city. His father was
prominent in church and civic life
before the war. The young man was
given every advantage, but did not
prosper. When he was 80 years old
he became enraged at a boy of Is or
Is years and killed him He was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment at the
penitentiary and served \ ten years,
when he was pardoned.
He returned to Savannah to find his
father dead, the estate gone and no
one had seen his young wife since a
few days after he was sentenced.
He started his life over. and for a
long time he prospered, and at one
time was on the road to success His
health failed him. however, and he
lost what he had gained. For the
last few years of his life he was
practically dependent
