WASHINGTON, Dec. II. - The
American Indian no longer is a van
ishing race, but under improved
health conditions is increasing in num-

of Commissioner Sells, of the Indian
Bureau.
There were 2O9,224 Indians when
the report was written, an increase Ct
1922 over a year ago. Health and

says, reduced the general death rate
this year from 35.55 in one thousand

infant deaths from 1891 two years
ago to 1903 this year. Deaths from
tuberculosis were reduced 40 per cent.

TO INSURE TIMELY ARRIVAL
To Insure Delivery on Time Packages
Should Be Mailed Week Be-
ginning December 18th.

1t is as important that you do you,
Christmas shipping early as that you
do your Christmas shopping early,
and it is more important than usual
this year. because Christmas day
falls on Monday and Monday is the
day after Sunday. For this reson and
also because ar early start will insure
a timely arrival, postmasters are urg-
Ing that Christmas packages be MALE
early. And the mail clerk is just as
much entitled to a little consideration
as the store clerk, and the usual
Christmas rush Of mail takes all the
JOY out Of life for him.
Requests that Christmas packages
be mailed early in the week, begin
ming on the eighteenth, or even earlier,
are being made by postmasters
throughout the country. Those going
to the Atlantic coast and S.uthern
points should be mailed not later
than December IS, those for the far
West not later than December I6,
while the 22nd is considered a safe
mt for packages for local deliverg
The words, Please Do Not Open
Until Christmas may be placed On
the outside Of any package without
increasing the postage rate. Sucn
expressions Of greeting as Merry
Christmas" and Best Wishes" are al
so permitted, on the outside or inclos-
ed cards. The sender's name and al
dress are required.
Stickers are all right in their place,
but their place is not on the same side
of the parcel with" the postage stamps
and the address. One can place as
many Of them as wishes on the oth-
err side, but they should not be placed
in such a way as to seal the package
liz the package is sealed, in this or an
other way, it is no longer f~ourth-class
mail matter, and must be returned y
the sender or held for additional post
age.
Packages should be securely wrap
ed and the container should be strong
enough to Withstand the pressure Of
other mail placed in the same sacb
or Of other sacks which may be throw
on top Of it. Parcels containing
breakables should ne marked ERA
GILE."
The limit Of weight on fourth clasf
matter is fifty pounds local, first anc
second zones, and twenty pounds il
all other zones. Parcel post paekg
es may not exceed eighty four inche.
in length and girth combined. Tn
thickest part Of a parcel is taken al
1.-THE girth, while the greatest distance
in a straight line between the end
(but not around the pareel) is takeI
as the length; thus, a parcel thirty
five inches long, ten inches high an,

Within the last few days It has been

some Of his friends are uneasy about
his absence. His real estate Office has
been closed by the sheriff on account
Of rent due Mr.. VILLAIN Kemper. HIS
hardware store has been closed by the
sheriff, on attachments by creditors.
Both Of these matters could be ad-
juzted without any trouble on Mr..

affairs are in such a shape that they

Those who ? best acquainted with

Mr.. Atkinson was popular with all
