EXPECT BIG CHRISTMAS MAIL
Post Office Department and Railroads
Ask Public to Aid in Handling
the Parcels.

Washington. Oct 31.--The post Of
fee department and the railroads are
cooperating in plans for the prompt
handling Of an enormous increase in
Christmas parcels sent by mail, in ad-
ditlon to those sent by express. Sec
ond Assistant Postmaster General
praeger issued this statement to the
public:
THE Christmas season this year
will have an added interest for the
American people. There will be the
usual seasonal greetings and remem-
brances at home, and in addition there
will be messages and remembranceS
to perhaps 100000 men in the army
abroad and In the environments in this
country. The post office department
will be called upon to handle practic-
ally two Christmas mailings-One on
November Is, for the troops in France
and the sailors with the fleet in Euro
pean waters. The second will be the
usual heavy Christmas movements for
the homes, and this year, I'm addition,
for the cantonments. This double
Christmas will devolve a great bur
den on the transportation systems of
the country; and considering the
heavy demands imposed upon the rail
roads by these conditions 1t becomes
the patriotic duty of every citizen TO
ease the burden of transportation by
mailing Christmas packages early"

HOOVER IN FINAL APPEAL
Asks People to Cooperate With Food
Administration During conserVa.
ton Week.

Washington, Oct. 31.-"Food will
win the war" has been repeated so
often that ii has come to sound like
a mere rhetorical phrase. But it is a
cold, exact statement of the situation
If Germany were without food today
it would collapse tomorrow. Our al
lies in the war are dependent upon us
for food. Except for America their
plight would be far worse than Ger
many's is. America is their only hope
They must have food or they cannot
continue to fight Every considerable
source except America is cut off from
them by the shortage of shipping.
If it We're necessary that we under
go privation to send them the food
that we must send we would do it,
Common humanity would compel us
to sacrifice in order that the women
and children of Belgium. France, Italy
and our other allies should not suffer
and die for lack of food. 1t is not
necessary however, for us TO suffer
any lack in order to supply our allies
with the food we must ship to them.
We must send them wheat. meat, fats
ard sugar, and these we can obtain
in fully adequate amounts If all of us
will avoid every possible food waste
and will substitute for part of these
necessary foods others of which we In
the United States have plenty.
This can be accomplished If every
family and every public eating place
will cooperate with the food admins
tration. During the week of October
o. November 4 concerted effort will
be made in all parts of the country
TO secure this co-operation.-HER-

DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is a physi-

less numbers who have suffered.
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root

and neutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism
