New Ruling In Mail De.
livery.

A new ruling for handling of
special delivery mail has just
been received by Postmaster W.
A, Black which provides that
special delivery mail may here.
after be delivered without recei.
pit.
This is an innovation. The
rule heretofore has always been
that special deliveries must be
receipted for by theaddresseeor
someone competent to act for
him, at the time the delivery was
made. In case the addressee or
some person competent to re.
ceipt for him could not be found,
a notice was left. Then it was
necessary to call at h epostoffice
for the letter.
The late ruling permits the
messenger to leave the special
without rec ipt, in the regular
mail box when personal delivery
cannot be made. The rule is
announced as being Intended to
eXpediate delivery rather than
to safeguard mail.
1t is pointed out in order that
the registry system is provided
to insure safety and it is recon.
meuded that valuables should
not be sent by special delivery,
but by registered or insured
mail.

A BIG YIELD

j. G. Peckham does not believe in
letting land go to waste without pro-
ducing some crop. He owns the
land on which the White River Lum-
Der company mill formerly stood,
and for number of years this land
was used as a pasture for sheep, un-
til it would no longer produce suffi-
cient grass for feed land Mr.. Peck
ham decided to pillow the land and
plant "spuds." He was advised by
many that the land on which the
lumber piles once stood was not fit
for crops, but he had a number of
potatoes on hand for which he did
not have sale and decided to plant
the field to. potatoes. That he has
been rewarded is shown by the po-
tatoes which he is harvesting, about
500 bushels in all, which are finding
a ready market.

WARNS AGAINST THE "UGLIEs'


The architects have passed through
six lean years. Had Il not been for
the "uglies" that were erected they
virtually would have been idle. Re-
modelling 'uglies" into beautiful homes
IL about all the architects have done.
However. IL these houses had been
designed and constructed right at first
the remodeling would not have been
necessary.
"Uslies." like the billboards, are
doomed to destruction; popular senti-
ment demands that they be destroyed.
That the home must be beautiful,
both interior and exterior, is readily
recognized by every mother, as she
realizes that It Ia the most essential
element Of the home ard 1t Is that
which causes children to love and
cherish It. That It should be furnished
beautifully and should have good
pictures goes without mention. Well
designed furniture may be handed
down Through generations. and well
planned and designed homes Increase
In value with age. We have houses
In this country, britt two hundred
years ago, that are used today as
samples Of good work and architects
look to them for precedent.
Young people who are about to
build should consider It with great
care. 90 building Is serious thing.
They should invest In good magazines
recognized for their good taste, study
thoroughly every article. read also
every criticism Of these articles and
then invest only In expensive things
In fact. those things they think they
cannot afford to purchase: then buy
one article instead Of six that they
think they need. In this way they
will have established q nucleus from
which they cannot depart Moreover
they will never desire Q change, be-
cause beautiful things remain beauti-
ful.
To those contemplating the estab-
ltshment Of home would say select
your lot with . view to the future de-
velopment Of It. Do not invest In
cheap additions that have been laid
out on lines Of the least resistance.
Sssact Pace surrounded by romantic
conditions. Select q large lot, build
3 small house, add to 1t as you pro-
gress and be sure that the lot has
SUFFICIENT restrictions to assure you
that your Investment will not de-
probate and that your neighbors are
q good report and intelligent. -Selby

CHARLES RAY TURNS OUT
EXPERT FOOTBALL PLAY

Charles Ray handed the college
boys a surprise during the filming
of the football scenes in Richard
Andres college football story, 1.-TWO
Minutes to Co." the First National
attraction scheduled to open an en-
gagement at the Y Theatre on next
Wednesday and Thursday.
The boys were all on edge and in
good physical trim and they anti
cipated considerable awkwardness on
Charles Rays part when it came to
handling the ball properly, but as
matters went, he put one over on all
of them and handled the ball and
took his position on the team like a
veteran.
Mr.. Ray played football at high
school land previous to the filming of
the football scenes he had "Tuffy'
Conn, one of the best extra college
players and now professional, at his
home on several occasions to explain
ali CIlc IdCcSC anu IIlOoC up-CO-udIc
plays and to indulge in some prac-
tice.
The result was he appeared ON the
field full of pep and with a perfect
knowledge of the most modern meth
DDS. One of the boys remarked DUR
ing the half time, Gee wish we had
had that fellow on our team this
last season. Anyone would think
that he had been playing, regularly"
Members of Mr.. Rays company
knew that this was just another ex-
ample of the thoroughnass with
which the director-star does every
thing. He always wants to know
the fine points Of the game regarding
anything he is going to portray on
the. screen.

ATTENDED, CONVENTION

The Annual meeting of the Wiscon-
sin Anti-Tuberculosis Association
was held in the Health Service Bldg.
at Milwaukee from Oct. 2O-22. Dele
gates were from many counties and
the program was full of good things.
DR.. Russell Lyman, former President
of the National Anti tuberculosis
Association, and very prominent in
Public Health work, was the principal
convention speaker. He said that
mo public health measure is worth
considering unless it's value can be
proven in dollars and cents to a
hard-headed business man,
He was followed by Mr.. Cleary of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
who said that about 10 years ago,
1870 of the death claims coming to
their Office was due to tuberculosis,
but that through public health mea-
sures and education, together with
the efficient nursing service provided
by that company for their policy
holders, where such service was
possible the tuberculosis death rate
as reported to them last year was
only $50, making a decrease of 1870.
DR.. Beffel, for many years active
in tuberculosis work brought out
the point that the greatest danger of
tuberculosis infection is during the
period from infancy, up to the 9Th
year. Between the age of 5, to IA,
children develop natural resist
ance to tuberculosis, and his plea
was, that with this knowledge at our
disposal, we aid nature in every
way possible to build such strong
resistance in the child that there
will be no danger of the disease get
ting a hold on them ,even if they are
subject to exposure. This is why
We put health programs into the
schools, urge that hot lunches be
served, that the school houses be
sanitary in every way and that the
child be free from handicaps as
adenoids, defective teeth and tonsils,
as well as other so-called minor. de-
fects.
1t was the unanimous opinion of
the convention that, the most effective
campaign against tuberculosis can
be made by planning for prevention
iums in connection with oar County
Sanatoriums, where delicate children
who are easy victims for any and
every form of infection can be put
j ma physical condition to resist
disease. The summer camp for
these children was also discussed,
and reports given from places where
such camps had worked out well.
Miss Florence Herrick, Supt. of
Pureair Sanatorium, Miss May Lins-
deal, head nurse, and Miss Anna
Thompson, Bayfield, county, Nurse,
attended the convention. At the
session of Public Health Nurses held
on Saturday morning, Miss Thomp-
son discussed the plan for school
health work, which will be used in
Bayfield, County this year.
