MAILING TIPS FROM
THE POST OFFICE

This weeks tips are assembled
from suggestions offered off-hand by
clerks and carriers and inspired by
incidents of the weeks business at
the office.
City Carrier Reed found embedded
in the fast melting ice in front Of a
shouse, letter and post card which
a patron had put on top of a private
letter box some time last winter.
The mail had blown off the box into
deep snow and remained there until
spring barred it to view.
There are collection boxes con-
venient to most every section of
town and outgoing mail should be
deposited there or at The post Of
fee.
Third class mail-circulars and pri-
waite mailing cards, catalogues, ETC.,
cannot be forwarded without re-
payment of the original p.stage.

We are often reminded that, If we
want to do much with life we must
begin with it young.
OF course, we all believe this but
there are thousands of us who, for
one reason or another, have arrived at
maturity in more or less of an unfit
physical condition. Coming to TINS
realization, we decide suddenly that
we do not want to miss what chance
is left to get the most out of life.
1t is also a fact that the instruc-
ton and example for the young comes
from the old and the young cannot be
expected to do what the old will not
do. The first articles of this series,
therefore, will be addressed in the
main to those of middle life.

is that organic diseases of the heart,

The difference between the football
teams Of Dallas University and the
Second Army Division in the Fort
Sam Houston stadium Saturday
afternoon was matter of hanging
onto the ball.
The Dallas Hilltoppers, with
thrilling variety of plays, chung to
that pigskin once they got their hands
on it. There were no fumbles in the
Dallas backfield.
Five times the Division line plung-
ers ploughed through holes opened
by the big men in the middle of the
Dallas goal-and five times there was
4 tumble. Five times Dallas players
recovered the ball.
BATTLE TO FINISH
Final score: Dallas University n;
Second Division. Z.
The soldiers can find some solace
in the fact that their team battled
to the finish once they shook off the
lethargy that marked their efforts in
the first period, when Dallas scored
two touchdowns and clinched the
game.
Dallas needs no solace. The Hill
toppers, who broke training after
Thanksgiving, then resumed it this
week to get in shape for the contest

Their open game was as classy as
any flashed this season.
