NEW POST OFFICE RULES.

Postmasters all over the country
have been supplied recently with a
new set of rules and it's earnestly re-
quested that patrons adhere to them
if you want results. Read them care
fully.
mo letters given out until they ar
rive. If you don't get a letter or pa
per the day you expect it, insist on the
postmaster looking through all the
boxes and in the cellar, too. Your
mail certainly is there somewhere, and
the postmaster. just loves to hunt for
it to please you. If your friends don't
write to you rave at the postmaster,
for he's to blame. If he tells you
there's no mail. tell him he's a liar;
for you know more about it than he
he does. He's doubtless hiding your
mail for the pleasuer of having you
ask for it, Ask him to look once
more. If you are buying stamps make
him lick EN- and put EN- on your let
tiers and parcels-that's his business!
that's what the government pays him
for! When you drop your letter in
the mail box, fail to address it, or for
get the stamp. The postmaster de-
lights in filling the delivery window
with letters and post cards marked:
HELD for delivery" Call and ask for
your mail every two or three hours
during the day and send the kids along
between your calls. Turn all the
touch buttons on the lock boxes, and
be sure to drop the front of each box
1oodward. If you observe and follow
out the above rules you will fit the
postmaster for Sunday school work
and a leader TO rprayer meeting. You
are especially requested to leave your
key at home, because the postmaster
hasn't got anything else to do than
to push your box open. Then, too,
stand sQuarely in front of a dozen
boxes until you have read all your
mail; nobody wants any but you.

F1agrante BellO the War Raging.
(By Thos. J. Rickman.)

Is it possible for us in the midst of
the awfulness of what is going on all
the world over to say, after these
things are all over, there will be many
things in the hereafter. which will be
delightful to remember" Let us see If
we can enumerate a few things which
will be delightful to remember, should
we be among the fortunte ones, who
live to see the banner of peace again
floating over our God-given earth. We
are doing more for suffering humanity
than ever since the sun began to
shine-we are building hospitals to
care for every wounded and bleeding
soldier carried off the battle field. We
are sending the gentle sofe-handed
Red Cross nurse to every nook and
corner. We send the Y. M. G. A.
teacher with the message of glad It'd
ings of great joy-we are saving and
conserving u wheat. corn, meats and
, all manner of food produces to the end
that our soldiers, England's soldiers
ndFrance's soldiers and all our neutral
neighbors who behave themselves. may
be fed. Will We not feel proud that
we humbled our spirits in our homes,
that we economical, that we saved.
that our minds. hearts and ives were
so shaped and so carried on, as to show
vere in sympathy with that spirit
which proclaimed the world for democ-
racy. or self government the wide
world over?
Will not every reader Of The Hustler
feel himself or herself interested as
never before since life began? This
letter should be short and we ask that
every one who reads it, e casually,
will go back again and re-read it not
for the sake of the letter.. but for the
| sake Of the great IL for which it is
intended to speak-the liberty. peace,
freedom. safety and happiness of our
entire world. Some one has said that
a good name is better than a girdle of
gold, so we ask every reader to so
think of him~Or herself andtne duties
and responsibilities, as to leave behind
that good name:

ONE DAY FOR THE ORPHANS.

A stirring appeal is being circulated
by the Publicity Committee Of the
North Carolina Orphan Association
touching the usual Thanksgiving offer
ing, by the charitably inclined people
of the State, to the O~rphanage work.
Two years age this appeal was issued
for the first time and was repeated last
year. The responses have been most
gratifying and the gifts this year
should be even more helpful, for the
needs of the orphange have never been
so pressing as they r. today. 1t is
little wonder, therefore, that the Pub
liYity Committee has directed its ap-
peal to every class and condition OF
our people. The liberal response
heretofore reVea-ed the tender and
practical sympathy which the people
of the State felt towards the thousands
of orphaned Children who T being
trained for good citizenship in some
one of the orphan homes.
There are 16 orphan homes in the
State and in order that more equipment
and support may be provided TO reach
of them the Observation-Disclosures"
movement was started, calling upon all
Of our people to add to the stream of
regular contributions a special Thangs-
giving offering equal to a days in
come? The cry of the orphan-who
can hear it unmoved? And whose
heart does not thrill with joy at the
thought of the sixteen orphanages in
North Carolina housing many hundreds
of dependent children and training
them into individual efficiency and good
citizenship"
The committee suggests that the at
tention of pastors of churches, Sunday
school superintendent, mayors ana
other city officials. superintendent Of
county and city schools, county Off
Gals, lawyers, doctors. business an(
professional men, lodge officials, far
mers. housewives, w~age-earners, etc.
be directed to the appeal along will
the suggestion that special COMMITTEES
be selected by church, lodge and com
munity organizations for the purpost
of bringing the matter to the attention
of everybody. For, after all, it is per
sonal work that is going to bring re
suits. We hope the people here will
be liberal in their gifts this Thanks

BRITISH EDITOR DECLARES
THAT WAR JUST BEGIN
Lord NOrthcIiffe DfscOuntenances Re.
Ports of Weakening of Germany.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct, 27.-Discoun-
tenancing recent reports of internal
disruption in Germany as signs of the
weakening of that nation in the war.
Lord Northclife, distinguished British
editor and publisher, and head of the
British war commission, today told 200
editors of seven of the middle western
states at a luncheon given here in his
honor that war had just begun.
1t Is impossible that this should be
a short war;" he declared. There
are no facts which will form the basis
for such an opinion. The German
reichstag, unlike our and
parliament, has little or ne power save
that of the passage of a few ~appropri-
atoms. While it is possibly true that
one-third of the German population
has become sickened of war, the ruling
tWo-thirds are firm in their conviction
that h war is being prosecuted sue
cessfully to a victorious elimination
for their government.
Lore NOrthcliffe asserted that Amer
lean newspapers are presenting the
news of the war in an erroneous man
ner. He said that the fact that M
thing was wrong with Germanya was
being featured when as a matter of
fact the only thing wrong with The ma
ton was the kaiser. He told of the
policy Of his publications in England
which gave the same treatment to
British losses as to Berlin and allied
gains.

OFF DANDRUFF,
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Save your Hair! Get a small bottle
Of Danderine right noW-AIso
stops itching scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a. neglected
scalp; of dandruf-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruf. It robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which if
not remedied causes the hair roots to
shrink, loosen and die-then the hair
falls out fast. A little Danderine to-
nlght-now-any time-will surely save
your hair.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderjne from any drug store. You
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try a little Dan
derine. Save your hair! Try it!

Washington, Oct. 27.-Wholesalers'

by the prices they actually pay and not
by prevailing market conditions, the

Johnny's Composition on Teeth
Teeth are funny things. They amt

1 there when you die, but they give
you trubil all the time your alive be-
cause they hurt while they are coming
and they hurt when they are going and
when o eat candy between times.
Grandpaw says his teeth are the
only ones in the family that don't
cause trubil. And that's because he
wears his in his pocket most Nv the
time. The only teeth that don't never
hurt is the top ones in a cows mouth
n they never bother her emmy be-
cause she amt got none there.
