HEAVY PARCEL POST
 PACKAGES CLOG BOXES

Many patrons of the postoffice. have been mailing packages in the street boxes that weigh from 1 to 20 pounds, and as a result the city carriers who collect mail from these boxes are un- able to bring the packages to the of flee and it is contrary to the postal rules for them to do so Notices have been mailed to several who do this but have been of no avail. On two occasions this week the parcel post wagons had to be sent to collect the accumulated parcels. This is also not allowed, as these teams are under contract to deliver and not collect mail. In future such packages will be left in the boxes, and when the congestion is such as to interfere with the regular mail, the boxes will be emptied but it will mean several days delay in the dispatching of it from the office. Parcels weighing ounces or more should be brought to the main office by the senders where they may have them insured if so desired, but leaving them in stores where pur- chased for them to mail has resulted in the loss of many of them and 2 large percentage of claims for unde- livered mail has come from this manner of mailing. The Norwich Town and Greeneville stations are the only ones designated to receive par eel post. Any left at the other sta tions, or placed in letter or package boxes are not considered as mailed and the department is not responsibl, tor such packages.

he finished manufactures turned out

the finished manufactures turned out will not differ radically from those of 1914 and 1909, and that therefore the manufacturers valuation of the out put of the silk factories of the United States in 1919 will be about two and one half times as much as that of the raw silk imported or about S7oo, ,e9o.- 900. Tn addition to this, the imports of silk naanufa eturcrs from other countries will aggregate nearly s5e,- 900, ,0oO, though against this we ex- ported nearly $25.00Oo 900 worth of the products of our silk factories. Even adding a reasonable allowance for the advance which the consumer pays over the valuation at the factories. it seems quite apparent that the people of the United States are paying across the counter" in 1919 an aggregate value of over billion dollars for the man
 lfactured silks of all sorts which they are buying.
 Where does this ssoo, 900. 900 worth of raw silk come from Chiefly from Japan, China and Italy. Japan alone has supplied in the ten months ending with October st94.oe8.e0 worth of raw silk out of the S25f ,00o. GOO worth inn

Of silk dress goods alone the exports in the calendar year 1918, the latest fee which detailed figures are available, went to more than 50 different countries and colonies. even including the f1reat4 silk manufactur- ing countries of Great Britain and France. with comparatively small quantities to Italy.

 Tooth Paste 3 Years

Many a perso. has stopped brushing the teeth because of tooth pastes that
 harden. It is especially true of chf1- dren. The experiments of Prof. James E,
 Stebbins, Jr. of New York. long age proved that Albodon Dental Cream will not harden or dry out in any weather. Three years ago MT. Otto Kupfer of 300 Hudson Street, Hobo ken, N. J.. took two dozen tubes of Albodon to South America On his return war had broken out and he enlisted in our army and went te France. He was recently discharged and in unpaeking found a. partly used tube of Albodon three years old. still in perfect condition.
 Albodon is calcium carbonate, sapon- flied and mixed with the well-knowr antiseptic oils of cloves, cinnamon and eucalyptus. It is perfectly made and effective and so safe that children car use it. It sells under guarantee of
