TO EXPEDITE NEWSPAPERS.
PostofIicc Department VIII treat
n,hn1n L lie EirSt -ClaSS Nail.

Them l. Ike FirSt-clasS Mail.
WASHINGTON, Jan 30-As result
of several months of investigation
and study by experts of the post
Office department, Postmaster GEN
eral New to-day issued the first de-
finite, concise and complete program
that has ever been put out by the de-
partmeht for the mailing, transmits
sion and delivery of newspapers. 1t
gives the same expedition to news
papers as is accorded first-class mall.
Carefully worded and minute in
structions have been issued to all en-
ployees engaged in handling the
mails, so that there will be no pos
sibility of misunderstanding the i'm
rortance of getting newspapers to
the reader with a minimum of de-
lay. The essence of the order is that
newspapers shall not be mixed with
parcels post at any point in their dis
patch from the publishers Offices un-
til their delivery. Papers shall be
handled by themselves, and kept in
constant transit, not being sent to
railway terminals to be reworked. In
other words, they are to be handed
in the same manner as firSt-class
mail
Under the new system, newspapers
will be made up in separate sacks
plainly labeled with the word
NEWSPAPERS" If there are
only a few copies of newspapers at
the point of dispatch, they will be
placed in pouches with first-class
mail or in separate sacks, even
though the sacks are only partially
filled.
This order means much to the
American public. 1t is one of the
most important and far-reaching
steps in postoffice history. 1t is for
the benefit of those who desire to
have their newspapers placed before
them at as early a moment as pos
sible This should keep both the city
and rural population in closer and
quicker touch with their several
fields of activities.

of human beings, but on the con
trary that the history Of human ex-
perienCe, as well as the results Of
scientific experimentation, point to
the fact that coffee is a beverage
which properly prepared and right
fully used gives comfort and in
spiration, augments mental and
physical activities, and may be re-
garded as the servant rather than
the destroyer of civilization. The
time and place do not permit re-
cital of the great masterpieces of
literature, music and art which
have been produced under it's be-
neficent exhilaration or more than
a suggestion as TO the place caffein
containing beverages take in the
dietary of the progressive nations
of the earth.
Coffee if properly prepared has
a remarkable stimulating and ia
tigue relieving effect due to the
action of the caffein which acts on
the central nervous system. 1t
promotes heart action, mildly in
creases the power to do muscular
work and increases the power of
concentration of mental effort, and
therefore is an aid to sustained
brain work. 1t has no depressing
after effect. It is not habit iQrm~
ing and does not require contInu-
ally increasing quantities to give
satisfactory stimulation"

Professor Samuel C. Prescott, of

Combined With ToniCS
Combined With Tonnes

In overcoming disease and making
the sick well, "Fruit-a-tives" or
s'Fruit Laxo Tablets get their rare
and unusual powers from the method
of combining the fruit juices.
This process was discovered by a
physician and perfected by him after
hundreds of tests.
BY this discovery, the juices of
apples, oranges, figs and prunes are
concentrated and combined with
tonics in such a manner that the
medicinal action of the fruit juices are
made much more active and valuable.

men of Hancock County.
The women of Hancock county
took more interest and accomplished
more in millinery last year than in
any other branch of clothing con
struction, according to figures kept
by themselves in this line, 109
hats were reported upon, either made
new or remodeled, at Il total saving
of nearly $500.
In this branch OF work, the women
were taught how to renoVate mat
erial and how to make and trim hats
that were becoming to their type.
Four millinery training classes were
held i'm Hancock county during the
year. AT which women We're given
specific instructions in this line.
They. in turn taught at least three
other women of their community,
thus spreading the instruction.
The next important feature of the
work was the construction Of dress
forms, thirty-seVeu of which We're
made during the year at a total say
in of more than $500. These
forms were made to individual meas
urements, so that self-ftting was
made possible in home sewing.
Eighty-four foundation patterns
We're made during the year, at a total
saving of more than SOS. This
work Included the mating Of found
alton patterns from petticoats, waists

MEXICO CHILDREN WORK HARD
Early; Women Very Faithful to
Their Husbands.

The children of the lower class Mex
leans are brought up to work, and
work hard, almost from birth. The
mothers first child is carried on her
back, Indian-like, and the parent does
her work without any apparent in
convenience. By the time the second
offspring arrives the mothers house
hold duties have so increased that she
must be free as far as possible from
the care of her children, says the De
trOit News. The first-bOrn is there
upon charged with the care of the lit
tie brother or sister, and it is quite
the rule to see some tiny tot of three
years, or less, valiantly carrying
around the younger member of the
family.
These women have no thought ex.
cept for daily round. They are fidelity
persOnlfied, and their lord and mas
ter's word is law. The male of this
type is jealous in the extreme, but he
rules by inspiring fear, and will leave
his spouse whenever he thinks fit
knowing full well that she will moi
dare to offend the moral law, or dis
obey him in the slightest degree IL

LSK THEIR OWN EXECUTION
Student in Kansas College Proves
Many Persons Sign Petitions
Without Reading Them.

A year ago student in a Kansas
college came to the conclusion that
half of the people who sign petitions
never read what they are signing. SO
he prepared a petition to the faculty
Of the school for the execution of all
persons who attached their names to
the document. He went from student
to student, asked each to sign, and
more than a dozen put their names on
the dotted line, implOring that they
have their heads cut off. The execu-
tiOn never was held, but the student
proved his point.
1t is amazing how willing persons
are to sign petitions. They seldom
read what they are signing and often
neglect to ask what it is all about,
says the EmpOria Gazette. In a re-
cent election in EmpOria a Catholic
priest unwittingly signed a KluXers'
petition, and an EmpOria druggist re-
marked the other day he never ques-
toned petition carriers but signed
them one and all-for business pur-
poses.
The Gazette believes in the theory
that names are news and by printing
the various petitions and the names OF
the signers. it often gives its readers
bit of interesting reading. This
policy will be carried out more Wig
orously in the future So when you
sign a petition it might be well tC
read it carefully and ponder over il
a minute or two before you sign. The
best way to avoid regret over signing
a petition is not to sign it unless yOJ
believe every word in it.

Eskimos Sing to Jury.

An odd method of settling lawsuits
is practiced by some of the remOter
tribes of EskimoS.
When two natives wish to settle a
dispute each collects his family and
friends to assist him, says TIE Detroit
Free Press. The parties meet at an
agreed time in the biggest hut in the
village and proceed to sing literally at
each other.
= The plaintiffs party chant a series
of rough verses insulting the defendant
and everything that is his. Then comes
the rival party's turn, and for the next
hour or so they are allowed to sing at
their enemy, putting their insults into
some sort of meter.
The old men of the village act as
judge and jury, and the verdict is
given to the side which, in the opinion
of the aged experts, has compressed
the largest amount of insult into the
best verse and the most noise.

WAR ON JAPANESE BEETLES
Already in Pennsylvania Quarantine
VIII Extend to Upper Delaware


The members of the State Board of
Agriculture met in Wilmington last
Monday with Loren B. Smith and C.
w. Stockwell, Government Entomolo-
gists from the Japanese Beetle Labor
atory, Riverton, New Jersey; and de-
cided that the effective quarantine
against the Japanese Beetle should
apply to Brandywine Hundred only.
The whole state of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware are included in
the quarantine but the rule of the
Horticultural Board makes it effective
only in territory actually infested by
the Beetle, and in addition, a narrow
danger zone where the Beetle has not
been found but may possibly exist. 1t
has not been found in Delaware but
there is danger that may exist in
Brandywine Hundred. A Federal In
spectOr will be sent to Wilmington
and will give permits for the move
ment of all crops from Brandywine
hundred until such time as the Beetle
is actually found there, after which
crops will be moved upon inspection
only. The Inspectors headquarters
will probably be in the Federal Build
ing in Wilmington.
