The letter, in part follows
THE Postmaster General, apparently
hot content with having repeatedly
recommended the abandonment of tube
'service, attempts further to influence
he action cf Senators and presents
arguments against the utility value Of
| he tubes which he and his assistants
have heretofore repeatedly submitted to
congress, every one Of which We're pre-
|sented by the department to the commits
sion and. after careful consideration,
'were decided adversely to the contention
'of the department
THE commission not only did not
ignore the department during its inves-
| |tigation, but at the very outset re-
|quested the Postmaster General TO des-
'ignate one of his experts having knowl-
ledge OF tube service to assist the conf
|mission, which was done. The expert
rendered the commission valuable
service.
THE implied statement in his letter,
Expressing regret that the commission
' did not summon his officials having
knowledge of the subject and that
was ignored. cannot be construed other
than an attempt to prejudice the minds
| of Senator'S and to discredt the report

This is just as true right here in camp
as 1t is in civil communities. I have
known captains who have shown an ut

that conditions vary in different armies

the average, who departs from the
old rut and seeks and establishes
newer and more economic business
methods in the marketing of his pro-
ducts.
"One very common mistake that
is made by too many farmers is that
they have not learned to standardize
their products. This is literally true
of grain, fruit, vegetables and live
stock There are too many breeds
and varieties.
Farmers in a given community
must learn to raise the most needed
breeds of horses, cattle, swine and
poultry, as we'll as the varieties of
fruit and vegetables. One of the
greatest difficulties encountered by
the Bureau of Markets is the diff
Guilty in securing solid car shipments.
Too many mixed cars are being Of
fered. In some sections it is aim ost
impossible to to secure solid car of
either apples or potatoes of one va
riety.
"As a rule, an apple or a po-
tato of high quality can be grown
just as easily and cheaply as those
that are inferior as to quality. The
farmer should select only the best
and then make sure that they are
adapted to his soil and climate con-
ditions. Two well-known apples in
Pennsylvania are York Imperials
and the Ben Davis. Both apples
have made growers money when
rightly handled. These are valu-
able not on account of their quality,
but for their general appearance and
long keeping tendencies. The York
is a better cooking apple than the
Ben, but neither should be used now
when better apples can be obtain
ed that will not keep so we'll. These
apples shold not be marketed for
immediate use. But should be held
for, spring consumption.
THE same principles are involved
in growing and marketing potatoes.
The general trade demands a sound,
smooth, white potato. This demand
has become general and the farmer
ought not to waste his time trying
to change it. When a country or a
community becomes known for the
production of a variety of quality
that has become standardized buy
ers are attracted and the marketing
problem has been greatly simplified.
The farmer should learn what the
consumer wants and then see that
he gets plenty of it.
The Bureau of Markets of the
State Department of Agriculture can
be of assistance to the producer both
in selecting for quality, grading,
standardizing and marketing pro-
ducts"

HEALTH BOARDS
give WARNING OF
INFLUENZA DANGER
Ask People to Be Careful and
Take Proper Treatment
Promptly. Many Pneumonia
Cases Follow Influenza. What
to Do.

To be prepared for the serious
outbreaks of Influenza and Pneu-
monia that are now sweeping over
the entire country and that have
seized on this community, Public
Health Boards everywhere are issu-
ing cautions and instructions to the
public not to neglect treatment at
the first symptoms of a cold and to
cooperate with health boards and
physicians in stamping out the
spread of the disease.
No disease develops so quickly or
spreads so rapidly. The first symp-
tom usually is a sharp rise in tenn
perature to 103 or 104 degrees, head
ache, pain in the back, throat feel
ing dry or sore. Unless promptly
checked by proper treatment, the
best plan is to go to bed and stay
there for at least a week, keeping
warm to avoid pneumonia and let
the minor ailment run its course and
also prevent the spread of the dis
ease to others.
Most of us, in these busy days,
cannot afford, if it can be avoided,
to lose a week or more of work, so
1t is all the more necessary that at
the very first sign of grip or influ-
enza counter-actlng treatment
should be taken.
Probably no better or more effec-
| tive treatment could be followed at
such a time than to get from the
nearest drug store complete Hyo-
mel outfit consisting of q bottle of
the pure Oil of, Hyomei and a little
vestpocket. hard rubber inhaling de.
vice into which a few drops of the
oil are poured.
Put the Inhaler in your mouth
and breathe it's air deep into the
passages of your nose, throat and
| lungs. Every particle of air that
enters your breathing organs will
thus be charged with an antiseptic
healing balsam.
You can't do this too often. The
! Hyomei Inhaler Is small and can be
conveniently carried in handbag
or in your vestpocket. Every half
hour or so throughout the. day take
1t out and draw a few breaths of its
pure healing air into your nose and
throat. The outfit is not at all ex-
pensive. for the rubber inhaler will
! last a lifetime while the Oil of Hy-
omei can be obtained at little cost
from any reliable druggist. Lots of
people already have a Hyomei In
haler. Take it out, charge it and use
1t without delay. If you haven't
one get 1t today.
A few cents spent now may easily
prevent serious illness and save you
many dollars and help stamp out
tho spread of the disease. II. C.
