HOME AGAIN.

After a stay of some six weeks OF
so in St. Vincent's Hospital, New
York, under the most painstaking
nursing, M. F. Madden, the promi-
nent real estate man, of Grantwood,
returned home on Feb. 18th. Mr..
Madden is recuperating slowly, but
surely, and under the careful attention
of his family will undoubtedly soon
be his normal self. He says that al
though they treated him like prince

place like home and especially when
one is sick.

Postal Hints for the Holidays.

edo Your Christmas Shopping Early
is the holiday hint of the merchants,
and the Post Office Department would
add to that.slogan the further admoni-
ton ''Do Your Christmas Mailing
Early.
Patrons are urged to mail their Christ
mas packages early so as to avoid con-
gesting the mails.
It is the endeavor of the postal
employees to see to it that all Christ
mas packages reach the addresses on
or before Christmas day, but if the
immense volume of this matter is held
back too long the mails will be con-
gested and consequently the parcels
cannot be delivered in time. If the
patrons will cooperate with the postal
service to the fullest possible extent in
preparing and mailing their Christmas
parcels, many of the annual disappoint-
ments will be avoided.
1t is of the utmost Importance to all
connected that the following simple
conditions be observed by the senders
to accomplish the end desired:
Prepay postage fully on all parcels.
Address parcels fully and plainly.
Name and address of sender preceded
by the word ''From" should be placed
on every parcel.
Pack articles carefully and wrap them
securely, but do not seal them, as sealed
parcels are subject to the letter rate.
Insure valuable parcels.

than seven months, Ellen Kittleson

pay their tribute of respect to the de-

The sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty goes out to the family bereft of
that best earthly friend mother and
especially to the bereaved husband who

years walked in loving sympathy.

mother during her long illness. All ex-

The increasing decentralization OF

London. Feb. 2S.--Two neutral
ships. one the American vessel Carib
and the other the Norwegian steam
or Rcgin. were sunk today. A dis
patch from Berlin reports that the
Carib. cotton carrier bound from
Charleston. S. c., for Bremen, went
down somewhere OF the German
coast. as the result of an explosion Of
some SORT, probably from striking a
mine.
The Regin was sent to the bottom
off Dover this morning by either a
submarine or mine. in almost the
same place as the Norwegian steam
ship Bclridge. which was torpedoed
last Saturday, but which managed to
get to shore, where she was beached.
The Regin was carrying coal from
Tyne to Bordeaux when she was de-
stroyed without warning. Her crew
Of twenty-five men escaped in a small
boat and landed nj Dover. They said
their ship sank within ten minutes
after she was hit.
The Berlin dispatch concerning the
loss of the Garth was laconic. giving
neither the location OF the vessel nor
the fate OF her crew. It stated. how
ever. that the belief was that the
ship had struck . mine. The Garth
was considerably or the safe route
