mail EARLY" IS SUGGESTED

Every patron of the Pleasantville
p~ostoffice is interested in efforts to
improve the local mail service, and at
the same time to reduce its cost.
Large patrons should face to face
their mail; separate the pieces by To-
cal and outgoing classes and the let
ters by long and short sizes, post
their mailings as early in the day and
as frequently as possible so as to
avoid congestion in the evening and
insure prompt dispatch, call at the
p~ostoffice in the morning for heavy
incoming mails, supply sufficient ad-
dress or their stationery in return
cards and in the ordinary direction on
outgoing mail, and provide mail re-
c~eptacles. The public is gradually be-
ing educated to "Shop Early, we
make the additional suggestion to
"Mail Early.

which if taken alone into the system
would produce death, but if the one
only existed and made the person
sick it may be by introducing the
second poison into the system that
the qualities of the first would be
counteracted.
This country can never expect to
have a good healthy race of people
as long as the present capitalistic
system is allowed to rob the schools
and Fairgrounds of the children and
put them in the factories and the
mothers in the sweatshops to toll
long hours for wages that are made
quate to keep body and soul together.
What can we expect but poor health
under the present conditions? 1t is
the unnatural life that our toilers are
forced to live that is undermining the
nations health and gives them star
walton wages and grand future pros
pects," ETC., which they never, to live
on, and the Encouragement and
worry of losing even these measly
sources of making a livelihood.
Capftalistic greed is responsible di-
rectly or indirectly for 95 per cent
of our ills. The big corporations like
the United Cigar Stores Co., which
works its clerks to death for SIP a
week, and the Armours, who have the
nerve to ask college graduates to
work for wages averaging from $3.50
to $40 a week and expect them to
dress like $50 men, are responsible.
1t is only through Socialism that
we will be able to change the present
battle-ground of business and exist
ence that is robbing the workers of
their health and the things that go
to make life beautiful to a compare

duce nothing get aD.-R. H.

THOUGHT AND ILLS.-Answer-
ing the article headed Drugs" wish
to make a few comments.
Evidently our friend, Sixten Carl
son, is a Christian Scientist, and
those of us who are acquainted with
it will agree that it is deep and
beautiful study.
But while we realize perfectly that
fear and thoughts of sickness will
frequently make the disease mani
fest itself on our person yet we must
not go to the extreme and say that
all disease is produced in that way.
Do not deliberately substitute cause
for effect and effect for cause in all
cases.
If the most drugs are found where
the most sickness abounds it is the
most natural thing in the world to
assume that the sickness was there
first and it would be foolish to sup
pose that the drugs were purchased
first and sickness was the result. Ger
talnly drugs are least used where the
least sickness exists, because there
is no need of them.
The man that carried the pills
around with him was not made sick
because of that fact and it is perfect
ly reasonable to assume that he was
not cured by the pills for either one
of two reasons, namely-that his
physician had not properly diagnosed
the case or that his system was al
ready in such an impoverished condi-
ton as to be beyond the help that
these pills may have given him had
they been taken in the earlier stages
of the disease.
Drugs never cure. Any physician
will admit that. They simply correct
the evil and let nature do the curing,
but if the body is already in too
wasted condition it is unable to do it's
own work in the curing.

CLOUDY WEATHER.-A

CLOUDY WEATHER.-A physical
reason for the depressing effect of
cloudy weather is set forth in
health news bulletin Just issued by
the Public Health Service. It is not
the absence of sunshine, explains
DIR. Charles E. Banks. It is the re-
moval of several tons of air pressure
upon the surface of the body that
makes the victim blue and discour-
aged. Cloudy weather is usually &C
companied by a low barometer and
during a low barometer the air pres
sure on the body is decreased. Dur
ing normal weather the air envelope
by which all are surrounded presses
upon the human body to the amount
of 14.7 pounds for every square inch
of the body's surface: This adds up
to several tons.
When the barometer drops from
80 to 20 about half a ton of pres
sure is removed from the body. The
effect of this is not to make the per-
son feel lighter and more CHEEKY, as
might be expected, but is to disturb
the inner functions which have adj
justed themselves to the heavier out
side air pressure and which must now
find a new adjustment. The bulletin
ends with the discouraging admission
that medical science affords no relief
in this matter, and quotes Mark
Twain to the effect that people talk
a lot about the weather but never do
anything to improve it,''-G. G.
