the United States, is in a pretty good
position to judge of the merits Of COM
plant that have been made regard
ing the new plan Of establishing rural
routes. In view Of the protests that
have been made by the farmers. the
News expresses the opinion that III
parcel post is to become a permanent
feature Of the postal establishment and
if it Is desired to make it Of real value
to rural delivery patrons, short routes
and quick handling are absolutely nee
essary. Certainly routes Of 30 miles or
more, which seems to be SO popular
with the postmaster general, are out OF
the question. Short routes and quick
schedules mean prompt delivery and
good condition of shipments. while long
routes invite delay and damage"

Your. Postmaster

is an important man in the eommun-
ity. He has many things to look
after, and watches the time for the
arrival and departure of the mails
very carefully. If he didn't follow the
regular schedule, things would be in
a pretty fix. But he knows the value
of regularity and takes good care to
get the mails off on time. In mat
tiers of health the postmaster's ex-
ample is a good one to follow. Keep
your habits regular, and when the
stomach, liver or bowels need help. be
sure to take the right remedy in time.
Neglect to do this makes matters
worse and harder to remedy. Many
postmasters in New England will tell
you that IL. F." Atwood's Medicine
is fine remedy to keep the system in
order. 1t is a great regulator, acting
promptly in cases Of indigestion, sick
headache and constipation.

Another Turn. Out for One Track Mind.

Among the numerous subjects upon

domination over Congress. After hav-

Of preparedness. he declared that it
would not be proper for him to say to
a committee Of Congress what legisla-

ject, but when the rivers and harbors
bill was before the House committee he
informed the chairman OF the commit
tee that II any new projects were in
corporated in the bill, It would receive
his veto.
Shortly thereafter influential men in
New York city brought pressure to
bear upon the President in favor Of
improveme mt Of East river. as result
OF which the President asked that this

has been spent within one mile of the
home where he now lives in which he
has lived continuously since his mar
riage, May l, 1866. He is an expert
in local history. Few men have been
more active or influential in the COM
