Mail Congestion Continues

Notwithstanding the opening of the
post Office at Carney Point last March !
and the opening of the new post office al
Union Corner December 18th, the con-
gestion Of mail matter continues. From
20 to 40 are in line at times waiting foi
mail and the delay in distribution and
delivery is partly caused by shortage in
clerical help. Many more would take
boxes if they could be had.
A petition is being circulated to have
mail delivered by carriers. That is the
solution OF the problem which now con-
fronts Penns Grove as a city.
Some who now have boxes fail to get
their mail as promptly as formerly, be-
cause of change i'll their number. 1t
will take the clerks some time to get the
automatic action OF eye and muscle adj
dicted to the new number. 1t will be a
help for all to have the new number Of
their box printed on their stationery and
newspaper address.
When persons call for mail the clerk
looks over the list of letters only unless a
paper is asked for. If you expect a
paper ask at the time expected and keep
OIL asking.
The Penns Grove Records are put in
the mail before 6 p. IN. on Fridays and
should be ready for delivery Saturday
morning. When subscribers fail get their
paper on Saturday report at the Record
Office so the delay can be remedied.

An Inside Bath
Makes YouLook
and Feel Fresh
Says q glass OF hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps illness away.
This excellent, eommonsenss
health measure being
adopted by millions.

Physicians the world over recommend
the inside bath. claiming this of vastly
more importance than outside cleanli.
ness. because the skin pores do not ab-
sorb impurities into the blood, causing
i'll health, while the .oores in the ten
yards Of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning. before breakfast q glass
of hot water with 4 teaspoonful Of lime
stone phosphate in IL, as a harmless
means of helping to wash from the stom-
ach. liver. kidneys. and bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible material, poisons
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing
sweetening. and purifying the entire ALI
nentary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act in the elimina.
tive organs.
Those who wake UP with bad breath
coated tongue. nasty taste or have q
dull aching head. sallow complexion, acid
stomach; others who are subject to bill.
ious attacks OF constipation, should OBJ
tain a quarter pound of limestone phos.
phate at the drug store. This will cos,
very little but is sufficient to demonstrate
the value of inside bathing. Those who
continue il each morning are assured
os pronounced results. both in regard Il
health and appearance.-Ady. H.a-.

From London.

The Northcliffe press in Britain
furnishes the single dissonant note
to the unity of approval which has
greeted the Presidents address in
Paris and London. The Times has
this to say about one of its cardinal
features:
There is an implied assumption in
it that the German people were the
innocent dupes and victims of an If
responsible government. That view,
like his attitude toward AUSTRIA is
probably politics, but it makes it nee
essary to ignore mass of awkward
evidence"
OF course, the President did not
speak of the German people as en-
tirely innocent" or as "dupes," but he
did say this nation was not making
war upon them, who were not con-
suited as to when and how the war
should be begun, but upon their att
tocratic government. There is no
undercurrent in the address so strong
as this, which can be read between
the lines from start to finish: "The
Hohenzollern must 60"
There is an implication also that
the United States will not ask for
indemnities against Germany, and
will seek to soften the terms to be
irnDoSed uDao her a. far nc - Sas
Naturally, this does not meet with
the approval OF the British imperial
lists, of whom Northcliffe is a high
representative, but the English Lib
erals will approve when they realize
that to ostracise, to outlaw, the Ger
man people after the war will throw
them back into the NAV of the mill
tary oligarchy from which they are
now in fair way of being saved.
The spirit of the President toward
the people of Germany is the same
as that of Lincoln toward the South
when Lee surrendered at Appomat-
tox, and it must be made that of the
entente nations if the vision of a
peaceful reorganization of the civil
lied world is to become a reality.
And if the world cannot achieve a
genuine international policy, it is cer-
tain to be thrown back into the Dark
Ages, which followed the decay Of
the Roman Empire.

Our Constitutions right and might,
The all for which we gladly fight.
The long-Ioved peace. that's blessed our

Seems helpless now to pluck the brand
That quivers ere 1t break in flame
To lend more glory to our name.
So wake! awake! to arms! to arms,
The night IL dark with wild alarms;
The day is tense with fevered hope
With foe, we are prepared, to cope!
And ere the battle cry. is heard
God grant us courage cen to grid
With sword and musket, zeal. so true,
For our flag. red. white and blue!
To wave for aye, DER land so fair,
To mean alway brave hearts are near,
To speak for fearless glory. full,
To mean respect on land and sea.
So hear! the nations call to arms!
Pluck from our hearts their false alarms;

Proud duty crowns the martyrs heart!

To Maj. Pullman.

The police department Of Washing
ton, through its most efficient han
ding Of the pacifsts who gathered
here at the opening of Congress, have
earned the praise, not only of the
people of Washington, but of the
entire country.
Following the riotous reception OF
the peace party during their meeting
in Baltimore, when the police of that
city appeared helpless before the
mob, it was feared the same condi-
ton might prevail here. But Major
Pullman was prepared and, with the
personal assistance of Commissioner
Brownlow, Washington's guardians
of the law acquitted themselves with
glory.
This is the second time within a
month that the police of this city
have handled gigantic tasks with
credit. The inaugural period taxed
their forces to the utmost, but under
their direction the city was more or
derly than ever before during the
same period, notwithstanding the
tenseness in the atmosphere.
Major Pullman and his. administra-
ton has been criticised freely from
time to time. and The Washington
Herald has been one of the critics,
but the work of his department. dur
ing the past month has placed, him in
