reasons above given
Prepare your package carefully and
securely before bringing them to the
postoff1ce, which will save time and
delay. The department does not fur
nish wrapping paper nor twine for
this purpose.
Before the Christmas rush day some
postage, revenue and war stamps
they are good and will keep.
AS far as possible, lick the stamps
and put them on yourself, then you
will know it is probably done right,
Ask any questions you like and de-
mand any service you require, but
do not stop the whole service for the

ments. In general way the new
men will have places available as
soon as the national army, called into
service by the last draft, is ready to
move elsewhere Present calculations
are to send this force abroad next
spring, and it is safe to assume that
the next men called by the draft will
be ready to take their places at the
environments at that time.
There are no apparent signs Of de-
lay in getting the national army
ready for service. The work Of trains
ing and equipping the men is pro-
crossing with clock-like precision and
according to schedule. Automatic
rifles and machine guns of various
types now are being issued to tn emen
in camp for instruction purposes, but
the bulk supply of these articles
which are to be used in actual SER
vice will not be available until spring,
when the troops will be ready to make
use of them. Such divisions as are
ordered overseas probably will be
equipped from supplies in France.
The future plans of the government
will not allow the pas procedure of
simply calling out man-power in
periodical installments Of 100000 each.
Men probably will be drafted not only
for military service but for work On
the farms. The Industrial program
connected with the war is quite as
important as the purely military end
of the struggle, and indications now
are that labor difficulties will necessi-
tate drastic action in order to keep
lings working harmoniously at maxi
mum pitch.

Helpful Hints For Mailing
Your Christmas Packages
BY THE POSTMASTER.

For the rapid dispatch of mail, OBJ
serve that letters and postal cards are
cancelled in a different way by the
cancelling machine, and, therefore,
before mailing please sort them and
tie them in separate packages, having
always the address sides before you
with the STAINS to the right and run
ming regularly one after the other
on each separate piece, and then drop
them in the package bin" provided
for this purpose at the post Office. II
this lettle request is observed, the
labor of one man will be saved at
Christmas.
Please do not place stamps on the
left hand corner nor on the back Of
letters and postal cards, as this will
surely delay their dispatch for the

bOSCHEES GERMAN
SYRUP
A Valued Household Remedy for
Over Half a Century.

In our climate, with Its sudden
changes Of temperature, rain, wind and
sunshine often intermingled in single
day, II is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, many
deaths resulting from this cause. A
bottle Of Boschee's German Syrup kept
In the house, and few doses taken In
time, will possibly prevent severe ILL
ness, doctors bill, and perhaps death.
For fifty years this has been very
successful remedy for coughs, colds,
throat or lung troubles. 1t induces
good nights sleep with easy expec-
toration In the morning. For sale by
druggists In all parts Of the civilized
world, 25 and rs cent bottles.-Adv.

Do You Neglect
Your Machinery?

The machinery of the body needs to
be well oiled, kept In good condition
just as the automobile, steam engine or
bicycle. Why should the human neglect
his own machinery more than that Of
his horse or his engineer Yet most peo-
pie do neglect themselves. To clean
the system at least once week is to
practice preventive measures. You will
escape many ills and clear up the coat
ed tongue, the sallow complexion, the
dull headache, the lazy liver, II you will
take a pleasant laxative made up Of
the May-apple, Juice of the leaves Of
aloes, root of jalap, and called Pleasant
Pellets. You can obtain at almost any
drug store In this country these vege-
table pellets in vials for 25c-simply
ask for DR.. Pierces Pleasant Pellets.
There can be no counterfeit II they
have the DR.. Pierce stamp. Proven

MOTHERS SHOULD ABSTAIN.

Doctor Condi in "Alcohol a Danger
Gus and Unnecessary Medicine" says
"Never was there a more absurd or
pernicious notion than that wine, ale
or porter is necessary to nursing
mother in order to keep up her
strength or to increase the quantity,
and improve the properties of her milk,
So far from producing these effects,
such drinks, wheo- taken in any guam
tity, invariably disturb more or less
the health Of the stomach, and tend
to impair the quality and diminish the
quantity Of nourlshment furnished by
her to her infant"

nUNpER THE INFLUENCED

Beer is never taken because Of the
nutritive properties 1t contains. 1t is
used solely because 1t is an intoxicant.
Take the alcohol out of beer and its
sale is at an end. One glass of beer
contains sufficient alcohol to cause In
toxication. do not mean that 1t will
cause a wobble in the gait, but 1t will
cause the mind to wobble. The man
under the influence of one glass Of
beer is not altogether himself. He has
lost, In measure, his power of self
control. His judgment is less relia-
BILE. He Is not SO safe a man.

"The Drink Question From the Jew

Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, one of the
leading Hebrews of the United States.
The Jews, he declared, believe in pro-
hibition-prohibition, not for the few
but for everybody.
Rum" he said, "is a blessing only
for the idle rich, for the extinction of
their kind, and as a means to make
their perpetuation impossible, but to

WINE MAKES DRUNKARps.

Some years ago, as a w. G. T. u.
organizer, / had occasion to take a
freight train one Monday morning
across beautiful stretch of the Sac
ramento valley to meet an appointment
for that evening. A freight train Is
not supposed to stop often, but the
only passenger trains being through
trains with inconvenient hours, this
freight became an accommodation train
and stopped with terrific jolts wherever
tagged. This occurred many times and
each time drunken man, perhaps two
or three, came aboard. Usually they
ut once fell asleep In their seats and
with each jolt Of the car were liable
to roll off. Asking the conductor for
an explanation l was told, "oh, these
are just Msnday drunks, mostly farm
hands from ranches who have been
over at the winery on Sunday and were
too drunk to get home last night. Half
OF them won't be fit for work before
Wednesday,"
spent month in Sonoma county
before the present cross-country rail-
roads were In use. l went back and
forth like shuttle over the stage
roads, often with the same driver, of
whom / asked so many questions that ]
afterwards learned he assumed that /
was widow looking for home to
purchase. His business was largely ex-
press, taking produce to market and
bringing parcels from town. At every
stopping place the courtesy Of glass
of wine was offered. He sometimes ac-
cepted, extending the offer to his pas
sengers. In declining 1t l asked, as
this native wine intoxicating?' He re-
peated my question, as 1t intoxicating,
ye say? Do ye moind that? There was
a Sunday picnic from the city up here
yesterday" and he pointed to the help
less figure Of well-dressed young man
lying hatless in the gutter under the
broiling sun, adding, "They get drunk
slower on this native wine, and It takes
a deal longer to get 'em sober. He
won't get to work for day or two"
On my last day with this driver he
volunteered some friendly advice.
"Now, II it's home you're looking for
don't buy one Of these pretty vineyards.
They don't pay. I've been deputy
sheriff Of this county many years, and l
know who gets sold out by the sheriff,
for serve the papers," and the good
man drove out Of his way to show the
chicken ranches that paid better than
vineyards. "And know that too" said
he. "for l take their chickens and eggs
every week to the railroad and bring
back their money."-Dorcas ]. Spencer.
