GARBAGE CANS
NO PLACE FOR
YOUR LETTERS

AS result OF discoveries made
about the city within the last few
days, postal authorities suggest that
parents be careful about entrusting
letters for the mail to the children
and they also warn persons to use
care when mailing letters to know
they are dropping them in a letter
box. The cause for the warning
was letter picked out OF a garbage
can by one OF the men who gather
the contents OF the garbage boxes and
cans.
This letter was addressed and
apparently, either by a child or a
thoughtless individual, had been
dropped in with the papers that go
to fill the garbage receptacles. 1t
is stated that numerous cases OF
error in getting letters into the
garbage containers have been reported
from the railway station.
There is a considerable similarity
between the large trash containers
along the avenues and the mail
boxes into which parcels may be
dropped, the main difference in ap-
pearance. when viewed from a few
yards being the color they are paint
ed. 1t is thought that this leads
persons who have letters to drop
and who pass along the street in a
sort of absent-minded manner to
drop the letter into the first place
that suggests mail to them. The
aggraVating part OF it. to postal en-
xN1N Sc 10ce rNff Lot ~ hot
manner brings criticism to the de-
partment because the individual who
made the error never actually knows
what happened to his letter except
that it did not reach the individual
addressed while the postal service
never had a chance to handle it.
Another. letter that suggested one
of the causes of postal employees
pulling out their hair reached the
local office last week. 1t was written
by one whose penmanship limited OF
more intelligence than to SO address
a letter to anyone but in this case,
instead OF there being a definite
address for the letter. it carried the
persons name which was not COM
mon one and bore all the marks OF
being genuine, and then it had writ
ten under it "Some Place in New
Mexico" Now there is no poscoffice
recorded in the directory OF the
name of "Some Place" and because
of that fact there was nothing to
do but to let the letter take its way
to the dead letter office and be
returned to the writer from that
source. But if it happens that his
signature is as definite as his address,
he will never know why he didn't
hear from that letter unless he reads
this and guesses it.

Something Of the social niche which
Rancho Manzanita is going to occupy
with Dougas people, as we'll as for
people all through this part of Ari-
zona, was in evidence last Sunday
when the new hotel was formally
opened to use with a public view
There we're approximately 500 guests
at the hotel during the afternoon,
most of them being leaders in the
social sets of their respective COM
munities From Douglas there was a
large contingent in attendance, in
Guiding prominent business men and
their wives and families. That was
also true of Bisbee and Tombstone.
The hotel was a bower of beauty.
New and attractive without the added
touch of flowers and grcenery, those
things accentuated' the appearance.

worth, the owner, which occupy the
quarters Immediately over the recep-
ton room and lobby of the hotel, were
made beautiful and attractive with
blossoms OF the poinsette and pink and
white carnations, and the fragrance
of the bloom added further charm.
In the reception room below stairs,
the color note of the hotel decoration
which is yellow and black, was en-
phasized by the use of large bowls Of
that color in which the greenery was
artistically arranged. There was also
he large Christmas tree, which had
been put to place for the Yule festivi-
ties and which had been left for the

pretty feature in the room.
Throughout the afternoon the whole

ABNORMAL, TIDE
FLOODS LONDON
IN Low DISTS.

LONDON, Jan 6 (P)-An abnormal
tide which followed upon yesterdays
heavy gale raised the water in the
Thames estuary after midnight to an
unwonted height. The riverside streets
and houses in East London were
flooded.
Even in central London the water
rose high enough to overflow the four
! foot parapet which protects Victoria
embankment. Part of the embank-
ment, near the offices of The Associ-
ated Press, is under water, temporar-
lily holding up tramway service. This
is a rare occurrence.
Definite reports from the districts
down the river, where there is an
enormous population of the working
class on both banks, are lacking, but
there are rumors that the streets are
flooded from a depth of from two to
four feet.
The whole tidal part of the river
from the sea to Teddington is affect
ed and numerous gardens, and roads
in the upper reaches are swamped

~ O you know the new tricks OF
You can really make the
prettieSt things. from tables
and chairs to cases for cigar
cites and handkerchiefs. devised from
all sorts OF odds and ends, all the way
from shabby furniture to odd little
boxes that figs came IN or Jars tnat
once held marmalade.
To begin with. the furniture. The
only thing you do to 1t Is to clean
II thoroughly and get 1t thoroughly
dry-and then paint 1t. One OF the
quick-drying lacquers. or the regula-
ton enamel. It doesn't matter which.
The thing Is with the quick-drying lac
quers, Of course. that they really do dry
in no time. and so you don't have to
worry about having wet paint about for
"a hours.
think the way to decide is to find
out what you yourself can best man
age-enamel or Cuick-drying lacquer.
And use the thing you can manage best.
The procedure is the same in either
case Clean. dry furniture. A lot Of
newspapers or an old and otherwise
useless sheet spread down on the floor.
A window open nearby at the top.
Proper brushes. Some pieces Of cheese
cloth or old clean rag at hand SO that
you can easily wipe paint from the fin-
gers-or any other unwanted place
where 1t inadvertently spills.
II you want to make the best sort
OF Job with old furniture. suppose
the thing 10 do Is TO remove old paint
with paint remover. But you can get
quite satisfactory results II you just
sandpaper of any roughneSs OF old
paint and then paint over 1t. II takes
50 much less time. The time element,
Of course. has to be considered
A thing 10 remember Is to get the
kind OF brush that does the best work.
II the particular brand Of paint you
are using recommends a particular
kind OF brush. then by all means use
that kind. The recommendation may
be just a bit OF wordy talk. but on the
other hand. It may be, and probably Is,
the result OF careful experiment.
A friend OF mine made many lovely
Christmas gifts out OF old boxes and
and then covered them with q coat of
lacquer or enamel Then she got TO-
gether q lot Of interesting pictures.
Some were illustrations from old and
worn-out books. She had a couple OF
old maps. She found and bought some
French and Japanese prints.
She pasted the prints on the enamel
ed surface. And then, when the paste
was dry~-the lacquer was dry. needless
TO say. before the pasting began she
sheliacked the whole thing with either
white or yellow sheliac. II she wanted
mellow. soft tone In addition TO the
color OF the enamel. she used the yellow
sheliac.
You cant imagine~~yes, you can II
you want to~~the attractive things she
made.
There was a tray. Of wood. iacqucred
black. On II she pasted carefully
cut-out picture OF "A parrot In bright
coiors. You might have called him n
cheap, gaudy parrot. But he was really
beautiful on that black background
And then she sheIiacked him The

II you are giving card party and
must choose a prize. do be discrinlinat-
ing In your choice.
It Is such an easy thing to choose a
lovely prize for dollar. And 1t Is such
an easy thing to choose something ugly
and unsuitable for $40!
Fortunately most of rs cont have
$40 to waste on card party rgl2es. But
many of us do have to buy them occa-
sionally, and We usually feel very for
tunate II We can get something worth
while for dollar.
A pack Of cards. II you will notice. Is
always an acceptable prize. and you can
get very pretty one for less than a
dollar. ] have noticed that when prizes
are offered to the highest score SO that
she may choose first. she very often
chooses the pack OF cards II 1t Is among
the things offered. Even though some
OF the other things may have cost more.
Candy Is always nice prize when
you haven't much money to spend. A
small amount Of really good candy, at
tractively wrapped.
Flowers. too, are always acceptable.
A fern or Towering plant or cut fiow-
ers. A few cut flowers In cheap little
vase. a vase that Is simple In style and
neutral In color. is sure TO be a pretty
prize.

am convinced that better times
are coming and mans knowledge OF

1t Is fully two years now since any one
has written to ask me what's good Tor
rheumatism. The very best thing
know for rheumatism Is just to forget
1t, II anything really ails you. and
devote yourself to the sensible busi-
ness of getting relief for what ails
YOU You have some kind of joint
trouble, arthritism. yes, that Is OBJ
vious enough. But what Is the ma
ture OF your trouble? Is 1t perhaps
infectious arthritis-inflammati of
the Joint produced by germs? II 1t is.
your case makes nice problem for
the physician: 1t Is his problem to
decide what kind Of germs is respon-
sible, and how they got into the Joint
or joints. Is 1t streptococcic arthri-
tis, with the septic focus hidden in a
sinus or in a silent absceSs at the
root of a tooth? It would be wise to
have this investigated by a doctor who
knows his way about. In any case 1t
Is mighty foolish to assume 1t Is ''rheu-
matism" and fritter away your time
and substance on alleged cures or reme-
dies.
Maybe your arthritism is not OF the
infectious type at all. Maybe it is nom
infectious or trophic arthritis. About
half Of all cases, as well as We know
at present, are of the infectious type,
and half are of the trophic type. We
know very little about the trophic type
of arthritism. But our ignorance need
not prevent us from giving sufferers
such relief as we can.
In every case the patients physician
| alone can judge whether activity, ex-
ercise, use of the affected joint, or
inactivity. rest. or supporting dressings
or appliances should be used.
Liniments, salves and other external
medicaments. though of course with
out systemic effect Except such vola-
tile substances as may be inhaled)
are often very serviceable in relieving
stiffness, soreness and pain. They do
this through the influence of counter
irritation mainly. and through the in
fiuence Of massage secondarily. There
are many good liniments or embroca-
| tions, none Objectionable II 1t gives the
patient any comfort or palliation
Neither external medication nor in
ternal medication can be expected to
give more than temporary relief or
pallation, I believe. / say this fully
recognizing the place of salicylates
salicylic derivatives, various so-called
alternatives. and various so-called uric
acid eliminators. Some Of these medi-
| cines unquestionably afford distinct re-
