SOME PRECAUTIONS ABOUT PACKAGES

Postoffice Department Wants to Expedite Safe Delivery—Ton Can . Lend Assistance. The Christinas crush of the mail has started and will continue until after Years. The postoffice department and local postmasters and railway mail clerks all want to do all they can to expedite delivery and to see that the packages arrive at their destinations in good condition. To this end a number of important things devolve on the senders of the packages and they must do their full part to help the work of the department along. The parcels post will be used extensive--ly this year for the transportation ot Christmas packages. It is expected that offices and trains will be almost swamped beneath a burden of Christmas presents. Among the things asked of the public is the mailing of pacljgges early. It is not essential that your package arrive at its destination the day before Christmas. You,can send it so that it will get there several days ahead of time. Mark on the outside that it is not to be openeduntil Christmas.

Packages' must be wrapped securely. Postmasters at the sending point are enjoined to require that this be done, and the postmaster and his deputies have the right and it is their duty to refuse to accept packages that are not firmly done up. Certainly this is the very thing that the sender will want done, for after buying a present one does not want to take any chance of its ruin because of poor mailing condition. i

Another thing that is for the benefit of the public. The postofflce clerks are required to place the stamps on the packages if you wish them to do so. They will weigh your package and mark the amount with a pencil. You pay for it and the clerks will lick the stamps and place them on the packages when they have a minute’s time. Address . packages plainly If you can not write legibly, ask some one to address package for you. Certainly there will be a chance for the package to go to the wrong place or to the wrong person if it is not addressed plainly. The whole matter can be condensed into the following precautions. ’ Wrap securely. Address plainly. Mail early.

The Princess to Give Two Great Shows This Week.

The Princess, under the management of Theodore George, is giving some of the best shows to be found in the country and that the public is appreciating his enterprise is shown by the crowded houses. The last two Saturday nights he showed to about 1,600 people. This week he has provided for two especially strong attractions. On Wednesday evening he has arranged for a three-reel Kalem special, "Motion Picture Dancing Lessons,” as given by New York’s most famous dancers, Mr. Wallace McCutcheon and Miss Joan Sawyer. This couple was the sensation of the New York Theatre Roof Garden last summer, and at the present time are instructors to the members of the famous “400”. The dances taught are the tango, turkey trot and the hesitation waltz. As shown in the pictures these dances are marvels of beauty and grace. Each is shown, step by step, and should aid any person who sees the pictures to become an accomplished dancer. The dances are first shown as danced by the patrons of one of New York’s most famous cabarets. Later Mr. McCutcheon and Miss Sawyer take the floor and Show their method. The scene shifts to Mr. McCutcheon’s studio, where he is seen teaching several pupils the dances named. To better Illustrate the steps, the pictures, at Intervals, show just the lower limbs. The admission will be 10 cents to all. On Friday, afternoon and evening, Mr. George has arranged for the production of George Kleine’s "Last Days of Pompeii,” a six-reel feature, and one of the greatest productions ever seen in motion pictures. It Is taken from the famous novel of Lord Bulwer Lytton. Those who saw "Quo Vadls” will be equally well pleased with this production. The price of admission will be 20 cents to all. Four shows .Will be given: 2:30 to 4:00; 4:00 to 5:30; 7:00 to 8:30; 8:30 to 10:00.
