POSTAL IMPROVEMENT
WEEK IS OBSERVED
May I Sees lnaugurated First
General Campaign of
Kind in Service.

Without the Postal Service, business
would languish In a day, and be at a
standstill in week. Public opinion
would die Of dry rot Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow-mlndedness thrive.
1t is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and 1t comes nearer to the
innermost interests of a greater num-
Der of men and women than any other
institution on earth. No private busl-
ness, however widespread, touches so
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches into so many souls.

What Makes You SILVER?

Just as heat leads to a feeling OF
drowsiness, cold has the effect of ex-
citing and disturbing the nervous
system. The muscles which move va
riOus parts of the body are acted up
on in such way that they cause the
limbs to vibrate, and this, repeated
many times, produces the sensation
which we recognize as "shiver."
This is really mild variety of spasm
caused by the cold, in much the same
way that some poisOnS produce mus
cular spasms which cannot be con-
trolled Like most things which are
perfectly natural, shiyering produced
by cold has its useful function, for
1t warns us that it Is time for US to
do something to restore the normal
amount Of heat, lest we "catch cold
or are affected in some other way by
the unusual absence of warmth.
