A QUESTION OF ACCURACY.

"Barre appears to be suffering at the

fever and Health Officer DIR. j. w. Stew
art this afternoon stated that 81 cases
had been reported to him. He said he
did not know how many cases are under
suspicion, but it is understood there are
total Of about 81 cases, including those
already reported DIR. Stewart stated
that am investigation as TO the cause of
the malady is being made and that he
was not ready to say at this time TO
what cause the epidemic is due. The
milk and water are under observation.
The epidemic has been prevailing for
about three weeks and some 10 days ago

Information About
Parcel Post Mailing

Q) Before leaving home, be sure
that your parcels are securely wrapped
and tied. The government does not
furnish either wrapping paper or
twine.
(2) Be sure you have the address
written plainly on each package, also
that the return address is on the upper
left hand cornes- OF package. Pen
and ink is much better for writing
addresses than pencil.
(S) The best form for wrapping
packages is to use heavy paper of a
light color and to write the address
on the package rather than write it on
sticker and paste it on. Stickers
are liable to become detached from
package, while if written on the wrap
per direct there is no chance for it
becoming detached. Be sure to use
heavy twine as the ordinary wrapping
twine such as most stores use, will
stretch and break very easy. You can
procure suitable twine at any hard
ware store.
(D You must remember that par
cells must be so wrapped that the con
tents may be easily examined by pos
tai officials. When not so wrapped
or while containing writing not auth
orized by law, the matter will be
treated as first-class mail. Parcels
improperly or insufficiently wrapped
or tied will not be accepted for mail
ing. Many articles are damaged in
the mails for the reason that they are
not properly wrapped to Withstand the
necessary handling.
(5) Parcels (but no other mail
may be insured against loss upon the
payment of fee of three cents fol
a value not exceeding five dollars, OF
sc a value not exceeding twenty-five

And then the county superintend-
ent and the lady of the house and
the watch dog rallied to the rescue
and forced the pig to beat an in
glorious retreat and lifted the reporter
to his feet and busted the rich al
luvial Grady county loan from his
garments and helped him into the
auto and looked tickled to death while
trying their best to look sad and sor-
rowful.

dollars, or 10c for a value not exceed
ing fifty dollars, or 25c for value not
exceeding one hundred dollars. Such
mail may be insured at any post office
or by any rural carrier.
(6) Inscriptions such as Merry
Christmas" with best wishes" do
not open until Christmas" or words
to that effect, may be written on par
cells or on card enclosed therein.
ca All parcels should be sub
mitted at the window of post office
or to rural carrier to be examined
and rated by clerk or carrier as the
case may be.
(S) The best time to mail is now.
Do not wait until the last few days
before Christmas to do your mailing,
as then the mails will be congested in
such a manner as to make it doubtful
whether your package will reach it's
destination before Christmas day or
not. So do your mailing now ana
mark your package, do not deliver
until Christmas" and Uncle Sam will
see that your wishes are complied with
and you will be doing a great service
for the thousands of clerks and car
riers who handle your parcels.
(9) For any further information
call at your local post office. The
postmaster and clerks will do all they
can to help you.
