SPECIAL DELIVERY
SANS ADDRESS

To place special delivery
stamp on a letter and drop it in
the mail box without an address
sounds like the act Of someone who
would make good material for an
insane asylum. Yet this is some-
thing which is done almost daily in
Fairmont according to Acting Post
master Wilson.
Some of the city's most capable
business and professional men
have been caught in the act. They
have explained that in their haste
to write the letter, make sure that
1t gets off on such and such mail,
and attend to their other affairs,
occasionally of less Importance,
they forget. what one would think
would be the first thing, to remem-
Der in mailing a letter, namely
the address. Even more numerous
are the letters coming to the post
Office without the necessary stamp.
This mistake, the postal clerks can
sometimes understand, but they can
not figure how busy a man has to be
before he mails letter without an
address. Evidently there are many
men as busy in Fairmont for such
letters are received almost daily
Acting Postmaster Wilson also
wishes to impress upon the public
that they would be able to get much
better service if they would form a
habit of mailing their letters in the
morning rather than in the evening.
Practically all the local mail is re-
ceived at the post office between
FIVE and seven o'clock in the even.
ing, with the result that the clerks
are rushed to death and are then
sometimes unable to send the mail
on the earliest trains.

Of Mr., and Mrs. Henry s. Thorne,

of his parents near Baxter, after
short illness. The young man
had been suffering from carbuncles

taken very ill. He grew rapidly
worse and died last night. Infec-
ton is believed to have been the
cause Of his death.

young man and was good student
and was a general favorite in the
communit- where he resided. He
is survived by his parents, two
brothers, Addison and Henry S.,
Jrr and by two sisters, Dorothy
G. and Lois NJ.

DON'T FLIGHT OUT" 4 COLD
Treat Yourself Properly and Go to
Bed-Comason Colds Are Most
Catching

The so-called common cold' is
catching. 1t is most catching in the
early stages. The symptoms are chilly
sensations. feverishness, watery bleary
eyes, sneezing, running nose and tired
achy feeling. Probably as good treat
ment as any for cold is a mild laxa-
tive, a hot drink or bath to induce
sweating, and go to bed and stay there
until better. This rest in bed serves
two purposes, viz, it hastens cure
and the isolation protects other folks
from the same infection.
Another reason for treating cold
with respect is that other more serious
ailments begin with the same syinp-
toms. So that both for ones own
good and for the protection of others
person with a cold is better in bed
than fighting it out" at work or at
school.
