try on Its Own Power Is
Puzzle at First.

Washington. Customs authorities
have encountered the first case Of an
airplune imported into the United
States under it's own motive power.
An American bought a Canadian
plane, and it was flown across the
border near Detroit. The question then
arose as to whether 1t is dutiable, par
ticularly since airplanes are not men
toned in any tariff acts.
Customs officials finally decided that
If 1t remains permanently in the United
States 1t should be taxed "as manu-
featured article" ut the rate of 20 per
cent, and If 1t flies out of the country
again within six months it will be re-
garded as ION tour" and will not he
taxed. In view of the prospects that
international air touring may soon be
common, the ruling was regarded as
important.

Home-Bound Mail From France
Increased Enormously
After Armistice.
SEND TONS OF SOUVENIRS
Post Offices at Bordeaux and erest
Have More Extensive Distribution
Service Than Any Post Office in
WorId-Maii Handled Quickly.

Washington.-Since the boys cover
there" have stopped fighting they have
taken to letter writing.
The home-bound mail from France
has increased enormously since the
signing of the armistice and the parcel
post has become souvenir service
The value Of souvenirs may be meas
ured by the ton, consisting of small
cases, parts of rifles and revolvers,
bayonets. uniform buttons. and frag-
ments of demolished airplanes.
A captured German helmet is the
most priced token. Four or five hun
dred thousands of these have come
through the mail since the war began,
and the shipping requirements of the
postal service were relaxed SO that
large number have come through un.
wrapped.
The mail from the American forces
in France is dispatched from two
ports, Bordeaux and Brest.
During the month of November-the
armistice having been signed on the
11th-17,G15,4OO letters were dis
patched from Bordeaux, besides 2,816
sacks of papers; 5.419 sacks Of Gus
toms packages and 28,Os9 pieces of
registered mail, the whole volume
amounting to 2S7la tons.
Busy Letter Writers.
The fight-freed boys got into full
swing of letter writing during Deem
Der and January, and for these months
the amount of mail increased about 20
per cent over the plethoric month of
November. One soldier wrote 30 let
tiers in single day. 1t is not known
how many others equaled or surpassed
this record. Frequently IL to Is let
ters were sent by each soldier.
It is likely to be some time before
the home-bound mail from France
grows less. AS the number of boys
coming home increases the impulse to
write becomes stronger among those
who remain. The regularly equipped
post offices at Bordeaux and Brest,
from which all mail from the expedi.
tionary forces to the United States is
dispatched, have the most extensive
distribution service Of any post office
in the world. While larger volume

and Chicago offices. their fields of dis

Starving in the
Iidst Of PLENTY
Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

One of the worst features Of acid.
stomach is that very often 1t literally
starves its victims In the midst Of
plenty. And the strange thing about
it is that the people with acid-stomachs
seldom know what their trouble
really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be. or how much they
eat, they do not gain in strength.
This is clearly explained by the fact
that an acid-stomach cannot properly
digest food. Instead of healthy, nor
NAL digestion, the excess acid causes
the food to sour and ferment. Then
when this mass of sour, fermented
food, charged with excess acid, passes
into the intestines, it becomes the
breeding place for all kinds of germs
and toxic pOisons, which in turn are
absorbed into the blood and In this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that is exactly why 1t is
that so many thousands Of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and yet
are literally starving in the midst Of
plenty. Their acid-stomachs make 1t
the full measure of nourishment out
long for this poor nourishment to show
its III effects in q weakened, enact
ated body.
You may say: my stomach doesn't
hurt me-" That may be true because
many victims Of acid-stomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again. there are millions who do suffer
all kinds of aches and pains-head.

state in the Union. and to every city,
town, hamlet and rural route.
Mr.. Richard N. Bird, who was de-
tailed by the post Office department
to take general charge of the offices at
Bordeaux and Brest, has recently re-
turned from France and his report of
the work over there is full of interest.
Mail leaving this country addressed
to the expeditionary forces in France
passes out Of the Jurisdiction Of the
post office department into that of the
army when it leaves the port of de-
barkation at New York. The army
collects the soldiers mail through APP
proximately $50 army post offices scat
tered throughout France, making the
letters up in packages by states, and
delivers it to the officials of the post
office department ut Bordeaux and
Brest. Before being dispatched to the
United States all mail is sorted at Bor-
deaux or Brest and made up for direct
dispatch to cities and railway mail
routes in this country.
Every bit of mail is cleaned up to
the very minute of sailing, and choice
between sending 1t by slower boat or
by faster boat that may sail a dag
later is determined by the time sched-
uled for the boats to arrive in New
York. The boat to arrive first is given
the mail in preference to sending it a
day ahead by slower boat. Approx
mately g dispatches, or one every day
except Sunday, are made from either
Bordeaux or Brest each month, and
the time to New York is about ten
days, with an infrequent delay of a
day or two due to storms or accident
Sent Direct to Trains.
The pouches or sacks when received
in New York are sent direct to the
railway postal cars and dispatched on
fast mail trains to the routes or cities
for which they are labeled. About IS
per cent of mail Is handled in this way.
The soldiers being located with SUBJ
stantial permanency since the signing
of the armistice, there Is No delay in
the distribution Of mail on the other
side by the army except where it Is
improperly addressed or the unit to
which 1t is addressed Is enc selected
to return to the United Suites. In the
latter case the mail is beid on this
side. Whenever any mil. from the
army post offices is delayed reaching
Brest or Bordeaux, the date of its re.
ceipt at those terminals Is noted by
"back-stamp" on the delayed letters.
The site of the Bordeaux terminal
post office is on the river close to the
depots. The building IL $50 feet long
and % feet wide and is well ventilated
and lighted. 1t was buflt by the United
States army engineers from plans sub
mitted by Mr.. Bird. 1t has every con
venience for employees. and every mp
pliance for the proper handling Of
mail. Provision is made for 1000
separations of letter mail and 4O(
separations of paper mail.

HOW Can YOU TELL YOUR
FAVORITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms Of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
flavoring ITO improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of flavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious of ali

easy way to do this. A wonderful new
remedy quickly removes the excess

1t is EATONIC. Made In the form
of tablets-they are good to eat-just
like bit of candy. They literally
absorb the injurious excess acid and
carry 1t away through the intestines.
They also drive the bloat out of the
body-fn fact you can fairly feel 1t

Of EATON1C from your druggist. See
for yourself how surely 1t brings quick

that you forget you have stomach.
Then you can eat what you like and
digest your food in comfort without
fear Of distressing after effects.
If EATONIC does not relieve you.
It will not cost you one penny. You
can return 1t to your druggist and get
your money back. So II you have the
slightest question about your health
If you feel you are not getting all
the strength out of your food-if you
are not feeling tip-top. ready for your
work, full Of vim and vlgor-do. give
