HAYS SUGGESTS THAT
WOMEN WRITE PALMER

The suggestion that women be urged
to surrender delicacy of handwriting
for the more leglble. even should it not
appear so neat. is contained in a series
of proposals to postmasters throughout
the country formulated by Postmaster
General Hays of ways in which to aid
the expeditions handling of the Christ
mas rush. The Postmaster-Generala also
strongly advised against the use of en-
velopes smaller than the regular mailing
size emphasizing the fact that their use
causes a great amount of delay through
the need of cancelling them by hand.
MIR. Hays also suggested that as q
further facility to the public postmas-
ters let out wrapping and tying conces-
sions in post office lobbies.

WAS SURPRISED
AT THE RESULTS
Is The Most Grateful Man On Earth
Since Tanlae Did So Much
For His Wife.

Another wonderful endorsement for
Tanlac that will be read with interest
oy the people of Arkansas was given
by c. o. aFrabe, of 822 Elm ST., Little
Rock, Ark.
MI. Farabee, who is now retired
from active business life, was former
liy a merchant and stock-dealer. and
also holds extensive banking and
farming interests. His standing and
influence are too well known to re-
quire further comment.
1t is certainly surprising" said
Mr.. Farabee, shat Tanlac could help
my wife as much as it has, after suf-
fering for so long a time without be-
ing able to get relief. Why, she had
been in ill health for fifteen years.
about three months ago she had to
undergo an operation for appendicitis,
and being already in a weak condition
had fear of her not being able to
survive. She had no appetite, couldn't
digest her food properly and suffered
terribly from palpitation and short
mes of breath. She had no strength
nor energy and we could find nothing
to build her up.
zone of her friends brought her a
bottle of Tanlac about three weeks
after she got out of the hospital, and
it is certainly wonderful how she res
pended to this medicine. She kept
taking the medicine and now has a
splendid appetite, is looking after her
homework and her chickens and COW
besides. She sleeps like a healthy
child, and has more strength and en-
ergy than she had in many years. I'll
tell you Pm the most grateful man
on earth since Tanlac has done so
much for my wife,"

SUSPECTS IN
BURGLARY CASE
ARRA|GNED

Bill Morgan, one of the alleged sus-
poets in the Benton City burglary was
arraigned inl Justice Hooton's court
late Saturday afternoon. He pleaded
not guilty, waived his preliminary
and was bound over to the Circuit
Court. On default Of bond he was re-
turned to Jail.
Jim Tanner, also held in connection
with the win, was released Saturday
afternoon after he had furnished the
$500 bond required.
Upon taking complete inventory of
all missing goods Monday W. A.
Washington discovered that the total
value of the loot was much larger
than was thought at first.
The value of the IA tires that were
recovered was 1886 alone and A cas-
ings and a quantity of accessories
still missing will bring the total much
higher than was originally estimated.

COSTS WILL Be
I R | N N { D

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 20
Work on the new alignment of the adj
ministrative branches of the govern
ment will start soon here with a view
of trimming the cost Of government.
These departments will be regroup-
cd logically by a committee especially
appointed for the work. The COM
mittee proposes to makes a thorough
study of the duties of every bureau,
board, division, and office, and regroup
them.
1t also will be called upon to con-
slider the projects for the formation
of new departments, to be directed by
cabinet officers. Among suggested de-
partments are public welfare, educa-
ton public works, and transportation.
Establishment of a department of
public welfare, urged by President
Harding, seems more likely than 9th
ers. Senator Smoot, leader in reor-
ganization in the upper chamber, is
understood to have agreed to support
the Presidents idea.

NOV STARTED :
FOR IMPROVING
EAST LIBERTY

A petition is being circulated among
property owners on East Liberty
street in an effort to have that street
m~acadamized and curbed from the
east line of Clark Avenue to the city
limits.
The street was oiled last year but
with little success. 1t has become
steadily a more used thoroughfare and
the contemplated improvements would
materially increase its popularity and
usefulness.
The petition asks the city to exca-
vate and grade the street and the re-
mainder of the improvements will be
assessed against the property owners
according to their property footage.
This is a much needed improvement
and should suggest that other popular
residence streets should follow this
good example.

No more romantic characters have
ever figured in literature or the drama
than the Royal Northwest Mounted Po-
lice, the red-jacketed bloodhounds of
the pine clad woods who uphold the
majesty of the law beyond the circle
of civilization. This famous constabu-
is known the world over for deeds of
courage and bravery. The romance
attached to the members of this corps
is the center of interest in the latest
Universal feature, Man Trackers,"
coming to the Amazon theatre next
Sunday, August 7th, with matinee.
The fact that this body of men which
maintains order throughout the entire
west, not only among the whites and
the Indians, but among the more
troublesome half-breeds is composed
.of only $50 officers and privates, is
quite remarkable. The members of
this force are armed like soldiers so
as to fight collectively. yet each has
individual constabulary authority The
officers in the service are also en-
powered to act as magistrates, a fact
which makes it possible to extend law
and order over such tremendous areas
by such small force of men.
1t is a well known fact that one
mounted policeman has ridden into an
Indian camp containing hundreds of
armed savages and carried off single
handed a member of the tribe who was
wanted on charge of murder. The
