Cooperation Of the Public is i
Asked in Early Delivery
OF Christmas Mail

No expense or effort will be spared
to handle the Christmas mails without
congestion or delay, but owing to the
enormous volume et this particular
season of the year. it can only be done
with the full cooperation of the public.
1t is the earnest desire of the employ
ees of the post office department
to effect the delivery of every parcel
by the evening Of December "a. and
they will exert every effort to do so,
but they cannot deliver parcel until
it is delivered to them.
A Christmas parcel, that is not
delivered until after Christmas, is
anything but Christmas parcel,
therefore, If you wish your Christ
mas cheer to be complete, comply
fully with the following suggestions
as to the proper wrapping of par
cells and the dates for mailing them.
Upon the proper wrapping and
addressing of parcel depends very
largely not only the condition in
which the parcel is delivered to the
addressee but the promptness Of
delivery as we'll Shop early. BY so
doing you will not only avoid the
hustle and the hustle OF the last
minute shopping but can make your
selection from full stock Ct mer-
chandise. Mail early. Place the ar
ticle In a proper container. Wrap in
strong white (do not use colored
paper) paper and tie tightly with
a stout cord and address with ink.
Be sure and place your name and
return address in the upper left
hand corner of the parcel and the
name and address Of the addressee
in the lower right hand corner. Do
not place the address upon the par
Gel but once More than that Is
confusing. Do not put labels or
Christmas seals upon the face Of the
parcel or across the strings or the
wrapping in such a manner that
Its seals the parcel. Fragile articles
should be placed in strong con-
tainers and packed in such a man
ner that they will Withstand the
handling in the mails. Perishable
parcels should be sent as Special
Delivery mail. This gives TO the
parcel the same dispatch and hand
ling as flrst-class mail.
It is astounding the number OF
Christmas letters and cards that are
placed in the post offices every year
on which there is no address or III
completed address. The fact that the
letters do not carry a return ad-
dress, and the cards are only signed

$4,000 Allowed in Budget
For Vashon Island Roads

The News-Record is in receipt of q
letter from w. B. Brinton, County
Commissioner, giving in detail the ap-
preparations provided In the 1880
budget, which were requested by the
Roads Committee of the Commercial
Club, for the improvement Of Island
roads.
The amounts allowed in every case
were as requested by the committee
with the exception of the "West Side
Vashon Island road. The amount re-
quested was $4,000, and $4,000 was
allowed for the improvement of this
road.
The Roads Committee composed Of
G. L. Garner. E. H. Miller, Maurice
Dunsford. Theo Berry, Hubert Spalding
A, H. Petersen, Zene Whittemore, Chas.
Merry, G. M Ruhlen and Coy Meredith,
have studied the needs of the Island
and outlined to the commissioners the
best manner In which the given
amounts could be spent to be of
greatest benefit. A survey of Mr..
Brintons letter will show that this
will be accomplished, should the road
program as outlined, be carried out.
Our roads are in excellent condition
at the present time, and with this
condition maintained, and the added
improvements made we may well feel
that we are receiving our share of the
county road funds. This state of
affairs is largely attributable to the
efforts of the roads committee in
keeping our roads constantly before
those who have the dispensing of the
funds set aside for that purpose.
Mr.. Brinton's letter follows:
I'VE have been somewhat delayed
in getting the information promised
to the various papers of the South
District but we hope that the inform
alton contained in our letter will still
be OF some valuable to readers of your
paper.
I'm the budget of this year we have
succeeded in providing improvement of
the following roads:
Marshall Armstrong road on the
west side of the island is intended to
connect up the Cedarhurst road with
the Ccrbin road, the location far
enough down the hill to serve the
people living along the beach.

yars ago from the Tallaquah road

Plumbing Stolen From Paradise Valley
Ranch

Wilson discovered that the house had
been entered, and a combination sink
and laundry tub had been stolen. The

The place is fenced, and posted with
trespass notices, so that 1t is plain to
be seen that 1t Is not deserted ranch.

When Skinny
Men Grow Manly
Five or 10 Pounds of Flesh
on Their Bones Makes a
Lot of Difference.

Out in the country they used to
say Just as thin as a fence rail-
and after Jim had somehow man.
aged to grow more shapely and add
more weight they used to say:
"Jim's a real good looking fellow
since he took on flesh"
And that's the way it goes all
over the world; the skinny gaunt
man can never be attractive or
look manly until he puts more
flesh on his scantily covered bones.
Many thin men have gained in
weight ard at the same time in
vigor and attractiVeness-no thin
man can do it unless he tries.
Mccoy takes all the risk-Read
this ironclad guarantee. If after
taking sixty cent boxes of Nc
Coy's Tablets or One Dollar boxes
any thin, underweight man or
woman doesn't gain at least ;
pounds and feel completely satisfied
with the marked improvement in
health-your money will be re-
turned.
