over TO the Wilmington post Office.
Residents along the route are pro-
testing at the treatment accorded
them by the Post ONCE Department
at Washington. The rural carrier,
Walter J. Kelley who has been serv-
ing the route for eight years. has been
dismissed with five days notice. and
Charles Carpenter a Democrat OF
Centreviile, has been appointed to sue

Less likeness.

While there Is considerable id1eness throughout the country, principally at Industrial centers, recent evidence suggests that the labor market has taken turn for the better. Indeed, 1t Is well within the mark of truth to say that unemployment is not so note worthy as it was in December. and though it is difficult to give accurate figures as to the rate of Improvement just as 1t is well-nigh impossible to say how many are idle, there is suffi- cient basis for asserting that trends are in a favorable direction. Wars demands have provided night and day work in numerous lines and the past fortnigh ght's news yields reports of more activity in the railway industry, revival in lumber, longer working g time at some copper mines, improve ment in coal mining, and slightly bet ter operations at steel plants Of course the situation will stand con- siderable improvement before it can be said that affairs have returned to A normal basis. Tn the meantime however, various eXpedients are Icing used to aid the unemployed, many of whom are real victims of un- toward economic conditions but there are yet others who come under the classification of the unemployable. These latter are loudest ill demands for paternalistic aid, and it is prob ale that they receive more than their just need of attention from we'll meaning students of social conditions. At this season of the year the large industrial cities always suffer from an influx of idle men, and here in New York the situation is never without it's complications. However, affairs are improving, chiefly because of actual Ee ttcrment in business, while the trend is indirectly helped by heavily cu1tailed immigration, plus large cmi grafton.

X Pioneer cf the Oregon Trail

In tho "Inte-csting People, depart mcnt of the February American Maga zine appear a sketch and photograph ot Ezra Meekcr, who, when seventy six years old, set out alone from Oregon with an ON-team and a prairie schooner, and spent nearly a year travelling with them to IndianaDolis- the beginning of the old Oregon trail. All along the way he set up monu- nents to mark off his historic route. In 1855 MT. MeckeT as a young man went over the Oregon trail with his wife. He went in a prairie schooner ha uled by oxen. and settled near Puget Sound. In 1906, at the age of seventy six. he went over the route again. Following is an extract from the article about him:
 '"F1zra Meeller wanted to retrace his route, and he wanted oxen. They were hard to get in these days of steam and oil and electricity. but after a long search he procured Dave and Twist. Camp No. 1 was pitched in MT. Mcekers own front dooryard at Puyallup, Washington, and the reali- ga tiOn of the dream of a lifetime was begun.
 Ut would be interesting to follow MT. Meeker and his OK team through the innumerabC small towns and cities which have sprung up along the Cld trail, where. when he first tra- versed it's circuitous route, there was rOthing but wilderness. Wherever he went the fame of his undertaking had preceded him. From Washington he went into Oregon, then into Idaho. and on through Wyoming and Ne- braska Illinois, thence into Indiana: finally he arrived in Indianapolis on January 5. 1907, just eleven months and seven days from the time he. left his home in Puyallup. Everywhere h@ had excited a lively interest in the historic old trail, and set up suitable monuments to mark the route.
 ''1n sixty years MT. Meeker never has been sick in bed, He has always lived in the open air; he Is not the least bit hard of hearing. He has never drunk intoxicants nor experi- enced a rheumatic pain. He Is now eighty-three and fully expects to live to be a hundred"

CHILD'S TONGUE BECOMES COATED
 IF CONSTIPATED
When cross. fcvCriSh and sick give "CaIifornia Syrup of
 Figs

Children love this fruit laxative" and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach. liver and bowels so nicely.
 A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels. and the result is, they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish. stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half, sick, feVerish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad. system full of cold, has sore throat, stoma ch-ache or diarrhoca. Listen, Mother See if tongue is coated then give d teaspOOnful of "Califor- na Syrup of Figs" and in a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the system, and you have a well, playful child again.
 Millions of mothers give "CalifOr- ria Syrup of Figs" because 1t is per fectly harmless; children love it, and it never fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels.
 Ask your druggist for q 50-ccnt bot tie of "California syrup of Figs" children of all ages and for grown ups plainly printed on the bottle Be- ware of commercials sold here. Get the genuine, made by "California Fig Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt.

Girls Who Live CheaDIy.
(Frances ( Frear in Leslie S. }

We all sympathize with the young woman whose weekly wage is so small that she has to skimp, and save, and deny herself all the little luNurics of life. Miss Esther Packard assistant secretary of the Consumers League. at public hearing before the state factory Investigating commission of New York, told the story of the hard life of girls earning from $5 to $S a week. The working girl, however, is not the only one who has hard time to mako both ends meet There are girls Tn the normal schools of this and other states who have only a few dol lars a week to live on. That is all their parents can send to them and even this means great sacrifice at home Girls in such situations quickly learn how to make every dime they spend for a maximum amount of nourishing food. New York city is a city of high prices. Here you can spend as much as you wish, or if one is satisfied to do so, a simple break fast may be had for a dime and a good dinner for twenty cents. Miss Charlotte R. Bangs expresses her sympathy for the girl in New York who earns only S6.50 a week, but shows how a girl may live in fair degree of comfort on this, even when she has to rent room. Referring to the statement that girls on such a wage go hungry, Miss Bangs says: "Tt Is only certain type of girl who does SC-the kind who buys powders and paints, false hair and imitation silks" | ne trouble with most of us today Is that we are not satisfied with sim pie things. We want a full course meal with a salad, ice cream and demi-tasse. The high cost of living, about which we all complain, would not press so heavily on any of Us if We were willing to live as plainly as did our parents and grandparents.

Grape Growers and Drys.
(San Francisco Chronicle. )


 The grape growers now feel assured that the state will never vote to de stroy their industry, and they arc properly taking the initiative in pro posing compromise which they be- lieve ought to be satisfactory. It in- wolves state as opposed to local regu- lation, high license, limitation of num- = Der of saloons in proportion to popil" lation, separation of the traffic in dis yinOus liquors, and the creation of a out of existence.
 There is nothing new in the prin- ciple of compensation for loss of It. cense. The British government has of late years greatly reduced the num- Der Of drinking places, but always, with compensation for loss of license. The Gr2pe growers propose that this compensation shall he made not from the public treasury but by assessme ent of tho successful applicants for Ii : Ccnsca.
 The result of the law proposed by the grape growers would be to put out thirds of the saloons in this city That the enactment of this law would remove the most serious evils of the saloon business, is evident It IS not likely to be acceptable to the extremists on either side. Whether it will command the support of an of- fcCtive majority of the legisa ture and the people remains to be seen.

Actors and Their Salaries.
(NCW York Review

That the actor is worth as much as is sometimes true. It is also an un- disputed fact that there are many actors who have managed to boost their salaries to a figure which is all out of proportion to the real value of their services by taking advantage or conditions which gave them the tenn rOrary opportunity to make eXactinS demands on managers. But it is even more true that there arc q great many actors, singers and performers out of work at the present time because they have a very exaggerated idea of what their services are worth.
 The other day producing manager sent for light opera tenor who has been out of work for almost q year and offered him a role in a ncrH pro- duction. On being asked what salary he demanded, the tenor replied that he would not work for less than SS0u a week. Tho manager, aStonished that an artist could ask such a salary. dcmurrcd, but the tenor said that he had received several offers and had turned them all down because he could not obtain the salary he na.Ncd and that he Ould continue to re- main idle if he could not get wha, he asked,
 Thero are a great many capable people out o fengagements at the present time for similar reasons. It
