MAKE WILLING STAMPS
 DO THEIR DUTY

4 postage stamp is a model of- stick-to-it -ivcness; when started on it's career on a letter or package it sticks to the job until it gets there.
 And if it doesn't get there it is no faul. of the stamp, but the writ CT who wrote the address on the letter or package and neglected to place his own address In the upper left hand corner.
 This is by way Of imparting the information that 9l,000,Oo0 letters found their way 10 th, dead letter office in Washington last year. A goodly proportion Of this number were "importan,," upon which some of the pecuniary welfare of individuars hinged.
 But that isn't al: Noce than lo3.ooQ parcels likewise 7en, 10 the dead letter ofhce las: year. Many ot these were ex-rsme'y valuable, After the government had them on hand for the legal limit they were sold for q song in the .arger post offices throughout the country, The onjv fortunate individuals with these So2. ooo parcels were those who bought them at such times. As for the senders and supposed recipients they evidently consoled themselves by baranguing against post office "Gneficiency."
 Of the 2l,0oo,ooo 1et'ors which went to the government grave yard last year. many contained money They contained s12,ooo,ooo in postage stamps. >8,ooo,ooo in checks. drafts or money orders and s55o0o in cash. Tn addition to this l.nc.e sanr colIrctcd $92,o00 in post agc for the return Of the year hostage from the load letter office after discovering the addresses oi sanders by opening he letters But on the other hand, it cos, tnclf sam sfT4ono0 10 look up the ad' dresses on misdirccted mall. 1ou' rr~. flown in Washington also hao @ frank 2oo.o".o1o letters in try ing 70 s,raght"n up the woes O. careless rttrr writers, h one cit! a.onc # ,osts um 35oo a day f' ~nrcs.isa ol.n mjsdtrectcd iet'"rs- probably jn Now York.

Selecting the Doll.

walk into the store and just pick up
the nearest doll which is attractive to
you and for which you can afford to
pay. Such a doll may he all right for
Sister Anne, aged s, but not at all
suitable for Baby Joe, aged 2.
OF course, every child wishes 10
have pretty eyes. face and hair on
it's doll. But there are more things
than just beauty to be considered. a
doll should he light in weight for n
child under years. They should also
be soft to the touch. so that they will
be nice to hug, and so that baby can
cuddle them in bed without harm TO
herself or the doll.
From the ages of to more
grOwn-up doll is desira BILE. and If it
can say Mamma" and close its eyes
when lying down it will be a thing of
wonder and permanent satisfaction.
There comes another age, usually
from to 10. when little girls have
begun 10 notice proportion and have
acquired a taste for clothes. At this
age you should pay particular atten-
ton to the proportions and the dolls
figure and form. Such child will
also he best satisfied with A doll that
