PERFORMING PEDDLERs.

Tn. many cities boards Of trade are taking up the question of the. town attitude toward street peddlers. It is certainly an unfair proposition, when a man who pays no taxes on his stock or business can come around from door to door and get a good trade. It is. unfair to the mer- chants of the town who pay taxes and rent, employ labor. and support public activities of all kinds.
 The near by farmer who pedd1es vegetables and fruits is on a. different. basis, as large part of the money he receives returns to our stores. But the great majority of people who peddIe from door to. door are strang- CTS from distance, who come here merely to carry away money, and spend it somewhere else.

RURAL DELIVERY DEMANDS CUT.
Postmaster General Will Ask Congress-
 for S4,OoO,oO9 Less for Next Year.

Washington, Aug. 30-Evi1ence of how the administration intends to prevent if possible another big deficit En the transaction of the government business Is seen in the announcement yesterday of Albert s. Burleson, post -naster-general, that he will ask Con- gress to appropriate $4,00O.0O0 less for the maintenance of the rural mail delivery system next year than was allowed for this yeaF.
 MT. Bur1eson will seek an appro- priation at the December session of Congress of about $49, 100000 to pro- vide for rural mail delivery during the fiscal year beginning July l, 1916., The allowance for the current year, provided in a resolution continuing the previous years appropriation when the 1915 bill failed to get through Congress, is $53,o0o,Ooo.
 Of the ,s49.OOO,oo0 to be asked, MT. BurIeson expects to use $48.000,00O for the operation of all the rural routes now authorized. The addi- tionaI s1,0OO,000 is to be used for new service to be established before or during the twelve months to be covered by the appropriation.
 MT. Bur1eson said that the reduced appropriation will give service to all patrons who had rural delivery at the outset of the present postal admins tration. will defray the expense of G. 900 new routes or extensions of old routes he has established and will meet the increase of pay, averaging s1OO, granted last year by Congress to certain of the rural carriers.
 The reduction in the cost of opera ton, MT. Burleson said comes through economies in the changing of routes and the introduction of the autono- bile in this field of postal transpor- tation. The routes have been re- vised so as to eliminate Implications of travel and unnecessary retraces" by rural carriers. By means off the automobile, rural mail carriers are able to cover much more territory in less time than was possible with wagon delivery! y
 Other reductions in the estimate for the maintenance of the Post Off, fee Department are anticipated, so as to prevent the recurrence of a, deficit of approximately $10, 900.

FAMILY WASH IS }
 A A-HEALnH5BTEIIa1C1 a1C1sR

New York, Aug. S0-Tha soId ztizne family washrag to which every face was familiar and which Hoped back onto it's hook after a whirIw1nd trip around a. compledons with no thought of the identity of the owner, must ryo The United States Publick Hea1th Service agents have decided that it is accountable for about everything that has been going wrong. in some of the nations best regulated home circles.
 According to the health services re- port, the familiar square of toWeling has been a more prolific distributor of germs than the common towel, which in it's way, aided the spVead of disease materially. Even the printing office towels, which have been noted for their habit of falling off the roller after a few years and spIintering into thousand pieces. are regarded as harmless as compared with the off cial wet and soggy scrubbers
 Just to show what a life destroy ing menace may remain in a tiled bath, without attracting particular at tentaon, the health service describes it briefly in this way:
 ''The damp sour smelling Washrag still exists in many private bath rooms. ImperfectIy washed out after use, frequently not wrung out at all, it is often hung over a rack or @ radiator near an open window, there to collect dust and dirt Frequently the same Washrag is used by the en- tire family, thus affording an easy means of transference of mouth se- cretions from persons to persos@
 ''In many households each individ- ual has his own wash cloth and his individual towel, but these hang so close to an another that there is ready interchange of bacteria Each individual should have his own wash cloth. It should be thoroughly wash ed out with clean hot water after use. It should be then wrung as nearly dry as possible, and if possible hung in the sun to dry. It should not come in contact with other wash cloths.
 'In the investigations the United States Public Health Service is con ducting in regard to the prevalence of trachoma, it has been found that common towels probably acted as a medium of distributiop- of the germ of disease.

A BACHELOR AND
 GIRL OF EIGHTEEN
Dear Miss Lfbbey-

bSaT MISS L1DD6Y.-
 I am 8 bachelor of 36. Always ex- 'pected to be one. Six months ago I met a young lady only IS, became at taehed to her. She seems to think as much of me. We both work for our living. believe most bachelors my age think it a risk marrying a girl of her age, that she might fall in love with a. younger man later on, and thus cause trouble. Do you think she is. old enough to know her own mind? Will it be wise to ask her to wait year or so?
 J. Many have welded girls Of that age and had a happy married life. Others have had the reverse experience. It depends entirely upon the young girls temperament and your own. Marriage makes many of both sexes steady and brightens the future, especially when others are there to divide time, atter- ton, tender little loving ones to look out for and love.

Dear Miss Libbev::-

Dear Miss L1DDey:- Am a girl of IS. practically cared for myself for four years. Met a man two years ago. Think highly of him. He hhas shown, and told me aIso he cares for me, asked me to marry him. He is well situated. I would want for nothing. The puzzling part is I went with his nephew, 20 years old, thought a great deal of him. q truly love this other who is 29 years. Is difference in ages too great for us to marry? I have no mother so please answer Fa- ther is in another city and likes your advice. I am wiser by three years experience and good teaching Parent writes I must decide myself. Should we marry now orr wait till January 18th at least?
 c. Seldom one weds the first lover met This second one is advisable, and the age is not a barrier all good qualities considered, Which makes for happiness of both. Most any month would be appropriate to be married in that you both agree upon.

A TRUE WORTHY LOVER IS
 WORTH MORE THAN GOLD
Dear Miss Libbey:-

Dear Miss Libbey:--
 I have kept company with a young man, same age as myself, for two years. We met at school. He loves me and love him My parents do not like him, for the reason that he doesn't dress fine. Yet he is true. First he intends to learn a trade, then to marry me. Parents make fun of him. Is that right? I can stand it no longer. He knows he is too young to marry me now. I need your advice.
 MISS s. G. It will be some time before he can see his way clear to marry. In the meantime your parents possibly will see more of him, recognize his good qualities and learn to care for him. They would then sanction wedlock and give their blessings Wait patiently until they are reconciled.
