Machine for Opening Letters.

i With the whole tendency of modern
business toward Capitalization, to say
nothing Of the enormous growth Of
the mail-order houses, the daily mail
problem is gigantic one to the eff
cheney experts. A pew machine has
been put on the market to open letters
which is said to break all previous rec
ords. It does the work by shaving off
an exceedingly thin slice of the edge
OF each envelope, hardly thicker than
the paper itself. It Is impossible to
cut an Enclosure by this method. The
chief feature of the machine is it's
speed. In recent test run it opened
1900 letters an hour for an eight-hour
stretch.

Having taken care Of our founda ton, the
next problem in the construction Of our
new house, whether Il 10 Of frame or ma

the floors. This is an important item. Now

will be able to prevent a condition that Is
very often the result of carelessness on the
part Of the workmen He will see to It that
the joists are perfectly straight and level
on the top, SO that the finished floor will
be level and straight. Nothing is so bad In
a house as a floor which is uneven or
sloping. 1t may be straight but not level. or
It may be level from wall to wall. but not

sary for 1t to be both level and straight

Atlanta Ga. DR.. Jacobson said in a
