SEEKING FOR
 EFFICIENCY

London, July 1.-The Postmaster General has called upon the business men of Great Britain to aid in solving the problem of how to operate the postal, telegraph and telephone ser vices efficiently and without a deficit.
 Acouncn of business men has been appointed to assist in the manage ment of the department. H. Gordon SelflIdge, the American merchant in London, is one of the 19 appointees The others include bank directors presidents of Chambers of Commerce railroad managers and other leaders of industry. One is newspaper pro- prietor, Viscount Burnhan of the London Daily Telegraph.
 The lost Office Department esti- mates for the current year show a deficit of S.500,000 pounds. The Post master-General had proposed to cover this by increasing the rates on the Second-class mail but now this pro- Ject has been abandoned.
 The question why the department should show a loss has been the sub- ject of much debate in the newspa- perS The department has a monop- | mails. telegraphs and telephone thus l making 1t the greatest business in the country. Yet, on a combined revenue | of 7o,000,000 pounds a year it has been run at a loss. One writer has | attributed the deficit to the doubling | of the penny postage on letters which | took place during'.the war and it's re- l tention since.

 The blanket which 'Stubby' still wears, also provided a convenient place for hanging his medals, of number. First, there is his Victory Medal, with all the engagements in which "Stubby' participated-Aisne- Marne, Champagne-Marne, Meuse- i've Sector. Then there is his silver Victory Button, to which his wound entities him; his American Legion Button, for he is a member of the their first convention in Minneapolis, an another medal testifies.
 ''Stubby" is a life member of the Y- NJ. c. A. and wears a badge of membership, which announces that he is entitled to Three bones a day and a place to sleep" for the rest of his life He is a member of the Red Cross. Another medal, awarded him by the City of New Haven, was pinned on him by the Mayor, who wished to keep him as a war trophy.
 But perhaps the proudest moment of ''Stubby's' life was when he won the silver medal at the Boston Dog saow in February tpg ;1s 1920; At this bioods of the canine species gave way to ''Stubby,' and the judges awarded first prize ''to the hero-dog Stub by"

BERMUDA JOLTS BOOZE RUNNERS
 WITH NEW LAW

Hamilton. Bermuda, July 1.-The Colonial Parliament has just passed a special law to prevent liquor snug gling from Bermuda to the United States. Anyone putting intoNcants aboard a vessel bound to American ports incurs fine of 25 pounds and the penalty for a. second o&fense is 50 pounds. Local dealers who are found to be in connivance with the 1aw-breakerS are penaliZed and may be deprived of their license.
 T..is law, which is now in effect, was zrought about thanks to the Secklesa manner of carrying on illicite operations during the past year. Not e1zl,y were hiding places for "booze" in all parts of the ships utilized, but the smugglers went so far as to open up barrels of potatoes in the hold and insert whiskey bottles.
 Discovery of this practice led to an outcry from local produce shippers who foresaw interference with their deliveries entailing delay and money losses. The Bermudians were con cerned over the possibility of having the liners held up at New York by Federal agents to the peril of legiti- mate trade and the interruption of tourist traffic on which local proper perity so largely depends.
 The recent capture, off the Carolina coast, of schooner with 45 barrels of whiskey loaded here at St. Georges also had it's effect in hastening 1egis- 1ation.

NOT TO KNOW
 IS NO EXCUSE
To Know How to Keep We'll Is Better Than to Call in Doctor to Get We'll.
 Sickness Is Penalty Not an Accident.

One of the best and most depend able and important preventatives of getting sick, one of the surest ways of keeping we'll is to form and main tain the exceedingly good habit of regular, thorough, daily bowel evacu- ation.
 That is Natures "best bet". You should do your best to help Nature, not hinder her in her efforts to keep you well. With the best of good in tentions you may employ many me thods. Strong, drastic acting medic ines that force the bowels to act sim ply replace one evil by another evil. It may secure temporary action but it produces more than temporary ir- ritation and other bad effects. Don't judge by promise in selecting sim pie remedy to assist Nature. Per formance is the true test. Take Beecham's for example.
 Over 70 years ago people began to take Beecham's. Today millions of people all over the world take Beecham's, recommend Beecham's to their friends, hand the use of Beech am's down from father to son or from mother to daughter for gener- ation after generation. That means much. You never hear any unfavor- able criticism or complaint regarding Beecham's. That means much if not more. It takes real merit to withstand the tests of time and trial.
 You can do much to help Nature keep you well by keeping a box of Beecham's in the house, ready for use at the first warming of disorder or derangement. All druggists sell Beecham's-are glad to sell Beecham's.

BERLIN'S MILLIONAIRE CITIZEN IS
 UNABLE TO FIND SUITABLE LODGINGS

The Wohnungsamt is omnipotent in Germany. It is empowered to bil- let families of Russian emigrants in the finest mansions. A landlord can neither raise his rent nor evict a ten- ant without permission this august office. Your own mother-in-Iaw can't get permission to live with you if the WohnungSant refuses. You can't rent a house or apartment, even if both you and the landlord agree if someone whose name is ahead of yours on the on the Wohnungsarnt list objects.
 The Shines millions have so far been powerless before this socialistic institution Although he owns the big Excelsior and exclusive Esplanado Hotels in Berlin, Shines prefers to remain in the Adlon, where he gets the same service as any other guest, until the Wohnungsamt is convinced that Germany's foremost business man needs a Berlin dwelling.

 Tourists from Boston to resorts in New Hampshire and Maine pass through Amesbury in large numbers and the good roads have tempted fast travelling. As the levy of small fines had no material effect on the mum Der of speedsters, Chief of Police Ro- gers decided to post the signs
 Their effectiveness was shown by the fact that on the first Sunday the signs appeared there were no over night guests at the police station.
