 Mays of the Chicago Red Sox tried the iron man stunt yesterday. He shut out the enemy during the first game but lost the second. Mays has not been used much recently by the Sox. Hod won his game on the 18th and has been used as relief pitcher once since that time.
 Bob Loveless, peerless twirler of the Fairfield City League, met defeat yes 'terday at the hands of Wolfe of the Westfield team. The Fairfield boys were allowed only ? hits by Wolf.

IGNORANCE OF POSTAGE RATES
MAKES CONFUSION.

That a large number of people in
Paris are ignorant of the postage
rates is proved by the fact that a
large number of letters with one
cent instead of two-cent stamps are
received daily at the Paris postoffice.
1--WE are annoyed considerably by
this" said Postmaster j. Walter
Payne. Some persons seem to think
that drop letters for the Paris post
Office require only one cent postage.
Letters. whether addressed to Paris,
Bourbon county, any part of the
United States, possessions of the
United States, Mexico, England or
English possessions, require two-cent
stamps"
Postmaster Payne explained that
the only letters that may be sent
through the postoffice by one-cent
stamps are unsealed, printed, circu-
lar letters. He said that the en-
ployees in the postoffice are hindered
in their work by letters posted with
stamps of the wrong denomination.
In instances such as these mentioned,
the letters are delivered, but the per-
son to whom they are addressed are
required to pay one cent postage due.
| Letters mailed to any member of
the American Expeditionry Forces in
France require two-cent stamps, but
five-cent stamps are required for
other addresses in France and for
letters sent to South America.
The law covering the subject,
/ which became effective July /, 1919,
is as follows:
Upon all matter of the first class,
hostage shall be charged at the rate
of two cents for each ounce or frac-
ton thereof; and drop letters shall
be mailed at the rate of two cents
per ounce or fraction thereof, includ-
| ing delivery at letter-carrier offices,
and one cent for each ounce or frac-
ton thereof where free delivery by
carrier is not established.
Postage on letters deposited in
rural or star-route boxes, or mailed
to persons who are served by rural
or star-route carriers, shall be charg-
ed at the rate of two cents for each
ounce or fraction thereof.
when persons or concerns of any
city or place sends their letters in
bulk for mailing for local delivery al
a postofice at another place where
the one-cent drop letter rate is ap,
plicable, such letters are not droI
letters, and are not entitled to the
one-cent drop-letter rate, but shall be
charged with postage at the rate Of
1.-TWO cents for each ounce or traction
of an ounce"

HARVARD MOUTH IN VOGUE.
Boston PoSt.)

The day has passed when it is pos
sible to tell Harvard man by his
walk. The famous Harvard SLOUGH
is no more Close observers who
find themselves nonplused in picking
out Cambridge undergraduates need
not worry, however, for the type OF
SOUP spoon used in the Harvard din
ing halls will shortly make it posi-
Bile to tell a Harvard man by the size
of his mouth.
The soup spoon by which the Har-
ward undergraduate transfer their
consomme from plate to palate is one
of those gross affairs, the body of
which is about three inches long and
two inches wide. The type of spoon
permits hasty diner to devour his
soup in about two movements of his
arm, but in accomplishing the feat
it is necessary to open wide the
mouth. The great spoon possibly
came from the era when there was
no music in the Harvard dining halls
and it behooved the diners to provide
their own noise.
The Cambridge collegians are not
complaining. So long as the dining
hall stewards provide enough soup
to fill the spoons, they will be salts
fed. But even the Gold Coasters who
were born with silver spoons in their
mouths do say that the soup spoons
are a trife large and that they would
be more serviceable in excavating the
New York subway or dredging the
Panama Canal.

LOSS 0FAppET.I.rE,

=
ai.As a general rule there is nothing
serious about q loss of appetite. and
If you skip d.. meal or only eat two
meals a day fora few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time r comes. Bear in
mind that at least Ave hours should
always elapse between meals, so as
to give the food ample time to, digest
and the stomach a period of rest be-
fore a second meal is taken. Then If
you eat no more than you crave and
take. a reasonable amount OF out
door exercise every day you will not
need to worry about your appetite.
When the<loss of appetite is caused
by constipation, as is often the case,
that should be corrected at once. A
