We sweep up the floor all neat and clean
And dust till not speck can be seen.

medical supplies are now obtained
shows that from rs to 90 per cent Of
these are either obtained from foreign
sources or are dependent In some indi

OF domestic origin no reserves are on
hand. and unless some special provi-
sion is made months would elapse after
the outbreak of war before the de-

marked shortage In surgical instru-

SIMPLE, SAFE RULES FOR
MAILING CHRISTMAS GIFTS
How Packages May Be Sent to Foreign
Lands Without Trouble.

In circular issued by the postoffice
department the general public is given
directions for wrapping and mailing
Christmas presents and information as
to the additions to the address which
may be added in writing on the out
side of the parcel.
Inscriptions requesting that the par
Gel be not opened till Christmas or
bearing greetings may be placed on
the package SO long as they do not in
terfere with the address and leave
ample room for that and for the
stamps. The public is cautioned against
placing other stamps or stickers than
postage stamps on the address side and
thereby rendering the parcel unmail-
able.
Care should also be taken not to seal
parcels with stickers. as sealed pack
ages are unavailable at the fourth class
rate.
Among the troubles of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce in the
department of commerce is the arrival
at this time of innumerable inquiries
from people who intend to send Christ
mas presents to relatives and friends
abroad. All or most of them want TO
pay at this end of the route any tariff
charges that may be imposed in the
country of destination. and they poster
the bureau with questions as to how
the payments can be made
To these inquirers some obviously
feeling remarks are addressed in the
latest issue of its publication, Com.
merce Reports. They are told first
that the bureau cannot send to each
questioner the full tariff schedules of
all lands or even of any one. and that
therefore they should make the prob
lens they submit more definite than
hey do. telling exactly what it is they
purpose to send away and where. This
implies that then the information need
ed will be given. The answer really
sent. however. TO all these troubled
ones is that there is no direct way in
which the import duty charged by an
other country can be paid here but If
the package is placed in the charge of
an express company provision can be
made for payment of duty by the ex-
press agent abroad"
A pleasing touch of human feeling
the touch so often lacking from govern.
mental publications-is given in the
conclusion of the article In Commerce
Reports from which these facts are
drawn. Ii says:
Although there is no exemption from
custom house charges for Christmas gifts.
there are some conditions under which
certain gifts going from country to coun-
try may escape payment Some govern
ments rule that wedding presents brought
In by subjects shall not be taxed. Some
also exempt possessions that are part of
an inheritance, But the season of uni
versal giving is not on the tariff calendar
as one when the pathways between the
nations shall be cleared of distractions

HOW TO MAKE AND KEEP THE
ROADS DRY

Water, plus clay or ordinary earth
when mixed, invariably forms mud. On
ordinary earth roads the rains and
melting snow furnish the water and
the passing traffic the mixing, and the
result is muddy roads. Take away the
water or prevent it from mixing with
the clay or earth on the road surface
and little or no mud will result. In
other words, keep your road dry if you
wish it to remain hard, smooth and
free from mud, says an exchange.
Except in very sandy or arid regions,
good drainage is the cardinal principal
in the maintenance Of earth and gravel
roads. Get the water away from the
road as quickly and completely as
possible. Water naturally seeks the
lowest level. You can not keep the
water from falling on the road, but
you can assist its natural inclination
to get away to a lower level. Keep
the ruts filled and the road crowned
with a slope towards the side bitches
Of from t~hree-fourths to one inch to
the foot, and the water will not collect
on the road to soak in and be mixed to
mud by passing traffic. Keep the side
bitches clean and with frequent out
lets to get the water away from the
road entirely. Do not let the ~culverts
clog up or material accumulate in the
bitches and hold back pools of water
to soak into and soften the foundation
of your road. Water is an enemy that
will run away if you will give it a
chance. Do not neglect to give it
every chance. 1t will pay and pay
well.
Like most other enemies, water is
not very destructive or dangerous until
it collects in force. Therefore, get the
water away from your road at every
available opportunity and before it
has time to collect in sufficient volume
to be dangerous to the road, and do
not invite certain disaster by making
your culverts too small to care for the
largest possible storm. Furthermore,
build the culverts so that the water
will, of necessity, flow through them
and not find a way around or beneath
them. Properly designed substantial
wing and end walls are the fortiica-
ton which protect the culvert from
attack and destruction during severe
storms. Do not build dry weather
.culverts; build them with a view of
caring for and protecting the road
