YOUR HELP IS REQUESTED:— Postmaster General Hays makes what will be generally regarded as a reasonable reuest when he asks that the artistic and odd shaped little envelopes used for mailing holiday greetings be dispensed with during the approaching holiday season. Without serious inconvenience and without diminishing the attractiveness of such greetings that can be inclosed in envelopes of regular size for which the postal machinery ot the country was intended. It is the business of the postoffice to give the best and most efficient ser vice that is physically possible. Yet the department will be handicapped in its desire to set up new standarls of efficiency if the public refuses to co operate. A postal clerk, it is said ■

can dispose of letters of standard size in less than halt the time that irregular and particularly small envelopes demand. At holiday time when the mails are heavy It is especially desirable that the burdens of the postal force be as much alleviated as possible. Co operation in the matter is due the postal people themselves for the conscientious service they perform at a comparatively low remuneration and to the business interests of the country as well as to whom delay in receiving important mail at the holiday season is often a matter involving. serious loss. It is to be hoped that the request of the postmaster general will be complied with widely. —Wabash Times-Star. The long talked of new tax bill finally passed congress and you ought to post yourself on this document. Not a single thing in its favor is be ing said even by the most ardent republican leaders of Washington and elsewhere. The law as enacted gives a ten per cent advantage to those having an income of more than $200,000. This certainly wont effect many in this section. It also removes to a large extent the taxes on luxuries and this against the best opinion of the greatest students ot the great economic question. To make this up the small corporation is burdened again, their federal taxes being increased two and one-half per cent. In other words the entire effort con tinues to be that the burden be lifted from the shoulders of big business and placed more heavily on the ordilary folks because they are greater to number, and yet to do that the

i bill fails for the reductions to the rich are Insufficient to gain their enthusiastic support. Congress has failed miserably to make good any way you figure it. Just at Thanksgiving time when it was sincerely hoped real progress could be reported in the disarmament conference, a climax is reached which looks like a break. Briand has returned to Erance, China threatens to withdraw, England is bulking and the information given out from day to day rather indicates that after all our prayers for world wide aud conttoous peace will come to naught and there <gan be but one reason —the powers don't want It for one reason or another. It they did we would get real peace and a lasting one. The excuse of France on the land armament is a flimsy one but sufficient to give England her chance to object to certain parts of naval disarmament while Japan is openly opposing certain parts of the plan. About all we have left is hope.

Administration leaders at Washington give as the reason for the failure of the recent session of congress to accomplish anything and to finish with such a mediocre record, that they have too large maorities in the house and senate. Oh well, that’s a trifle that can be fixed up in next years election and probably will be since they admit they can get no where with this congress. Some idea of the speed of those engaged in the manufacture of beer is shown by the fact that the next morning after the evening when permission was granted by Mellon, more than a million gallons were marketed and the sick began their treatment. If they had given these business push ers a real chance they would have shown you how to dampen the nation in a few weeks. CHRISTMAS SALE.

This sulphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema, thgt nothing has ever been found to take its place. Because of it s germ destroying properties, it quickly subdues the itching. cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions. rash, pimples or roughness.
