CHRISTMAS MAIL
HANDLED RAPIDLY
Heavier Than Usual, But No
Congestion Apparent Any,
where in Country.

Santa Claus needn't feel apprehen-
sive as to the degree Of cooperation
he is going to get from the employees
of the post Office at Portland, Ore, in
the handling of Christmas packages
and mail Information to the Post
Office Department from the Puget
Sound metropolis is to the effect that
Christmas mail is being handled
there with neatness and dispatch, and
that the Portland Office has IAN ade-
quate supply Of good-tempered help"
to handle the volume of Christmas
mail. Is per cent larger than last
year.
Delivered as Received.
At the city post Office it was stated
last night that the incoming parcel
post mail was heavier than last year.
which was a record breaker for the
local Office. The mail, however, ac-
cording to Postmaster Chance, is be-
ing delivered as it is received, and no
congestion has occurred so far.
Plenty of help has been obtained for
duty at the city post Office and at
subSta tons; extra trucks are in serv-
lce, anu IL is expected every piece of
mail, either package or first class,
received prior to the usual Christmas
morning delivery will be in the hands
of the addresses Christmas day.
The mail early for Christmas"
campaign of the Post Office Depart
ment has borne fruit, according to
telegraphic reports received from
practically every large city in the
country up to last night. The reports
all say the volume of Christmas mail
handled SO far has been in excess of
last year, but that adequate forces of
extra helpers have resulted in expe-
ditious handling and distribution of
the mail, SO that no congestion, piling
up Of mail or delay in delivery is re-
ported.

HE GAINED PREMIER's EAR
Man Dlsrobed With Others to Receive
Free Treatment, and Appealed
for Position for Sister.

Ciemenceau, beneath his brusque,
masterful, sarcastic and oft-cuttlng
speech, and In spite Of the vitriolic
character of his writings, possesses an
exceedingly kind and charitable heart.
He Is, not rich, and therefore cannot
AFFORD to give away much. But he has
made point, both when In office and
out Of 1t, to devote couple of hours
each day to free medical advice to the
poor, never consenting to take a fee,
writes Paris correspondent. His spe-
cialty Is skin diseases, and his con-
sultation room is always crowded with
poor patients. One day when last In
Office as premier, being In hurry, he
instructed his servant to tell the last
batch Of his male patients to strip in
his -ante-chamber, so as to save the
time Of the undressing In the consult
ing room. One by one they were rap
idly prescribed for and sent on their
way, until only the last remained. He
presented himself In due course In an
extremely decollete condition-without
a stitch. Of clothing, and with every APP
pearance of nervousness.

low bow.

SALTS # KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER bother
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral
ize irritating acids-Splendid
for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and inhame,
causing a burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with q scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t,
because they can't control urinstion.
While IL is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one Of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days, This viii neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source Of
arritation to the bladder and urinary or.
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who arr
subject to urinary disorders caused BY
uric acid Irritation. Jad Salts is splen
did Tor kidneys and causes no bat
effects whatever.
| Here you have a pleasant. effervescen
lithia-water drink, which quickly relieve
bladder trouble.

FORMER DAWSONION
GOES TO MONTANA
RUFUS JONES SECRETARY OF
CHAMBER OF CO. MMERCE in
FAR NORTHWEST TOWN.

The many friends here IN D. wsoi
of Rufus Jones, who has made >,
home at Clovis, N. Mex, several
months, will read with much interest
the following from la$e issue of the
Clovis News:
"At a special meeting of the direc-
tors of the Clovis Chamber of Com
merce Secretary Rufus Jones asked
that his resignation be accepted in
order that he might take similar
position at Williams, Mont. The di-
rectOrs accepted the resignation very
regretfully, but there was no other
way open to them, as the chamber of
commerce did not have a contract
with Mr.. Jones. Several of his di-
rectors asked him to remain here as
long as possible before leaving for
his new position, inasmuch as there
are several important matters on his
desk which are just coming to head.
"The reason Mr.. Jones is, making
the change is the much higher Salary
offered him by the Montana town. If
The News idea of Williams is cor
rect it is not as large as Clovis in
population, but the chamber of COM
merce told him it would pay him
$4,000 per year to begin with, with a
further raise if his work is satisfac-
tory. This is a salary of 5000 more
than he has been receiving here.
$50 far as The News is concerned
and we believe this is the opinion
of the best business element of Clovis
when Rufus Jones leaves this town
will have suffered a distinct loss in
many respects. 1t will lose a secre-
tary who knows the ms and outs of
his profession from a to 2, and the
local chamber of commerce under his
guidance was just beginning to strike
its stride.
eve believe both the Elks and the
Masons will be sorry Mr.. Jones is to
leave. He has been an enthusiastic
member of both lodges. He is high
member of the Masonic fraternity,
having gone to the top in the York
rite and in the Scottish rite also. He
is a 32nd degree Mason, member of
the Commanderv, and Shriner.
"The News has heard scores of ex-
pressions on the streets of the town
indicating general regret because of
his resignation. From a personal
standpoint he has made hundreds of
warm friends in Clovis, all of whom
are sorry that the town is to lose so
good a citizen-one who has so CON
Quoted himself as to leave an unim-
peachable record in every way"

NATIONAL STRIFE IS
SEEN AT PEACE MEET
A BRITISH NEWSPAPER FEARS
DISCREPANCIES MAY BOB
UP UNLESS CARE TAKEN.

MANCHESTER, England. - (By
the Associated Press. I'm comment
ing editorially on President Wilson's
visit to England the Guardian sassy:
at is unnecessary to speculate
upon the precise causes of this sud-
den change of plan, but obviously the
circumstances of the movement are
not such as brook delay"
"The newspapers from Germany
show that two things are essential if
order is to be kept and a stable gov
eminent maintained-the population
must be fed and the industries started
by the returning soldiers and muni-
ton workers thrown out of employ
ment, and yet we hear of nothing
effective being done.
Cites Hoover's Delay.
''Mr. Hoover has been here nearly
a fortnight. He has a vast task to
perform. He has all the resources and
all the authority he needs. He has
immense experience and energy, but
no man can make bricks without
straw and we are not so sure about
the straw"
Before he left America, says the
Guardian, Mr. Hoover said he ia
vored the raising of the blockade, but
his statement to this effect, it says,
was not allowed to appear in England,
the opposite impression being con-
veyed instead.
HAS Mr.. Hoover changed his mind.
Or is the decision pending?" the
newspaper inquired.
Discrepancies Feared.
The Guardian refers to the impos-
sibility Of an indefinite stay by Presi-
dent Wilson who came with definite
policies, but the president could
not have been long in Paris without
discovering what it calls the strange
discrepancies between their professed
acceptance and the sectional and the
purely nationalistic demands put for
ward by various countries not exclud-
ing its own.
