RECORD BUSINESS DONE.
BY the Brattleboro Postofice During the
Past Year.

The balance sheet at the Brattleboro
postofTiee for the year 1918 shows that
the receipts from all sources were $751;,
l0S.0T, which is undoubtedly the largest
amount of money handled by the office
during any calendar year. This is due
in part to the governments issue of war
savings and thrift stamps, a maturity
value of S2S4,7Sl worth Of these stamps
being put out through the local office
1t may not be generally known that
the Brattleboro office was made a control
accounting Office in September, 1916,
which means that all the postal ac-
counts of the Al postoflices in Windham
county, with the exception of Bellows
Falls, which accounts directly to the de-
partment at Washington, are handled
through the Brattleboro postofliee Not
only are the accounts audited here but
all the stamp supplies used in the va
rious district postoifices are furnished
from Brattleboro This new accounting
SYSTEM has increased materially the
amount of work for the local office, but
is a great saving Of labor in the office
Of the auditor for the postotiice depart
ment at Washington, to which each post
Office formerly reported, There are 4l0
postoffiees in the state Of Vermont and
the local Office accounts cover 40, or
nearly tenth of the entire number
Including the postmaster and his as
sistant. % persons are now regularly
employed in postofIice work. These en-
ployes include its clerks, nine city car
riers and FIVE rural carriers. The rural
routes cover portions Of the towns Of
Dummerston, GuiIford, Marlboro and
Halifax in addition to Brattleboro. Ev-
cry working day Of the year the city and
rural carriers cover a combined distance
of over 25l miles, which means that
they travel a total number of miles
yearly to take them around the world
more than three times. Three star
routes arrive and depart from Brattle-
boro every weekday and mail Is made
up for the patrons having boxes along
these routes. In this way an additional
80 miles has its mail delivered daily. If
all the families served from the Brattle-
boro office lived on one street the total
length Of that street would reach from
Brattleboro to Philadelphia.

TO HELP NATURE SHED
A BAD COMPL EXON

Beauty deyotees are enthusiastic
over the identifying qualities of msr-
colized wax. Nothing discovered
within recent years accomphshes SO
much, so quickly, without harm, at
such small expense. The principal
reason for its wonderful merit is that
it works in harmony with physioiogi-
cal laws. Instead Of hiding COM
plexion defects, it removes them. It
actually takes off the aged faded,
sallow, freckled or blotchy surface
slrin-gently, gradually, causing no
inconvenience. 1t is Natures way OF
renewing compilations.
When the natural process is re-
tarded because of deficient circula-
ton or nerve tone, mercolized wax
comes to the rescue and hastens the
skin shedding. The new complexion
which appears is q natural one,
youthful, healthy, exqutsitely beautt.

LOOKS LIKE A
 NEW PAY STREAK

Late arrivals from lower Gold stream state that walter Fisher is doing extensive development work on his claims near Spinach crack. Last summer considerable work was done in the vicinity with a Key stone drill and encouraging signs were hal.
 Fisher is well satisfied with the showing of the claims and will con- tinue On in his work until he has either found the homestake or proven that pay does not exist in ths locality wherehe is at present working. Several other Fairbanks- ans are interested in ground in this vicinity and the finding Of a pay streak means much to them
 From all indications Goldstream will be among the producers of the camp this season, many of the ope- rators announcing their intention of taking out larger dumps this year.
 Among those who will make the cleanuOs are George Gartner and Val Dlebold, operating on 2S below. Already their winter dump is as- sumiRa large proportions and by the time :he water runs a huge pile of dirt will be ready for the sluice- boxes. Gartner will take out a large load of suppliee today in pre- paration for the spring work.
