SELECT CARRIERS

ftew Order of December 30th Says Jle May Name Successful Applicant from Three Best Grades.

A .new system of appointing rural mail carriers, now in force, is- expected to give the postmaster a chance to choose the man best fitted for the position as opposed to the present arbitration plan. The new order has been received at Greenfield posioffice, signed by President Taft.

Under -tiiie new system, the local postmaster is permitted to select any one of the three leading applicants for a carrier's position, and ^.hus there ^vill be eliminated the possibility of naming inefficient men who have beem taken because they made higher grades in examinations yet in a general way might not be desirable.

Another feature of the new order •will be a stronger expression of the rule that rural carriers must "keep AUt of politics." As with all other ^employes in the postoffices who are under civil service regulation, rural carriers have full Fi.ght to the political convention, but are prohibited from exercising the right to the extent of appearing as "actively engaged" in politics.

FORGERIES LAST YEAR TOTALED $15,000,000.00

Companies Issuing This Kind of Insurance Have Adopted Most Stringent Measures.

So wide-spread has become the crime of forgery in the United States, and so great have been the losses within the last twelve months that companies issuing forgery insurance have adopted the most stringent restrictions in issuing .the policies. While no accurate account of the losses has been kept, Albert St. Osborn, a New York expert on handwriting, estimates that they totalled 815,000,000 through checks and drafts alone, during 1911.

The chief new restriction now demanded is that the bank insured shall not open an account with any one not known personally to an officer or director or whose integrity is not vouched for by a depositor. A favorite method of forgers recently has been to deposit a bogus check, apparently certified, on a bank remote from the depository, and withdraw the money two or three days later, or before it is discovered to be a forgery.

The Sound Sleep of Health is not for those suffering from kidney ailments and irregularities. The prompt use of Foley Kidney Pills will dispel backache and rheumatism, heal and strengthen sore, weak and ailing kidneys, restore normal action, and with it health and strength. Mrs. M. F. Spalsbury, Sterling, 111., says: "I suffered great pain in my back and kidneys, could not sleep at night, and could not raise my hands over my head. But two bottles of Foley Kidney Pills cured me." M. C. Quigley.

Buried Ilis Clothes.

Last night, on invitation from some friends and relatives in the vicinity of Blue Ridge, Galvy Whaley and Will Karmire, two of the mightest nimrods as ever chased a bunny, went in search of coons, which were reported as being unusually thick in that vicinity, says the Shelbyville Republican. They had not hunted long until Whaley's keen eye spied an animal which he at once attacked. The animal sure whipped him. He is sick today and his clothes are buried in the back yard.

SHOULD MAKE INVENTORY OF OUR LIVES FOR PAST YEAR.

In the first few weeks of the new year, every business house in the land is engaged in taking measure of its goods and accounts.

Thus, they will definitely determine what progress has been made during the old year, what lines are most profitable, and what have brought losses.

It is a custom that is as necessary in modern business methods as is bookkeeping. And, if we but knew it, it is a custom that is just as beneficial in our individual lives as it is in busness.

Isn't it worth while to pause at least once a year and find out what purposes have carried us forward in the world, what endeavors have profited us, what lines of conduct have slackened our hold upon the better things?

After a few annual inventories, the merchant finds out from the inexorable figures of his balance sheet that selling shoddy as good goods doesn't pay in the long run. The profits may be large for a short time, but they don't last.

And if it is worth annual inventory of stock and accounts to learn this rule regarding a few hundreds or thousands of dollars, isn't it worth annual inventory of character and achievement to learn the equally fixed rule regarding the allimportant things of private life?

Shoddy in character and conduct goes no farther, fools people no longer, and brings no more lasting profit than it does in business.

The man, whatever his work, who is not getting on as he should, may find an inventory to his advantage. He may discover that he is failing to keep replenished his stock of enthusiasm and energy, and has little left on the shelves of his mind and heart but shoddy, which world does not want.

No man succeeds or fails, goes forward or slips backward, grows in happiness or swamps in misery, but for a good reason. If he is painstaking enough he will find something wrong, not with the world, but with himself.

While we are measuring the material things and enlightening the mind in its relation to them, we w6uld be foolish not to measure also the more precious treasures of the heart and soul.

For the real life is within, and the rules that obtain there are as immutable as those which obtain without.

To get something for nothing is as impossible in the inner life as in the outer one.

To get value we must give value. To forecast the blessings that are to be ours, we must inventory our own stock of honesty, industry, love sympathy, charity and kindly helpfulness.

Without these our hope for success and happiness is as vain as is the hope for profits by the merchant whose shelves are bare.

What a help the "beauty hints" column must be to the women struggling for youth and beauty. A farmer's daughter, whose hands are continually chapped from slopping the pigs, etc., writes for a home remedy, as she lives eighteen miles from a drug store. She is told to use a cold cream made of mutton tallow, which would be easy enough if it were not for the other ingredients of camphor-ice, rose water, benzoin, etc., which cannot be found on a farm.

Constipation is the cause of many ailments and disorders that make life miserable. Take Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, keep your bowels regular and you will avoid these diseases. For sale by all dealers.

Dog Suffered With Rabies. Tt has been learned that the dog which bit Fred McFatridge, of Arlington recently, was suffering with rabies. The head of the dog was sent to the State Board of Health for examination, and the above report was sent to Arlington.

First La Grippe, Then Bronchitis. That was the case with Mrs. W. S. Bailey, McCreary, Ky. "My wife was taken down with a severe attack of la grippe, which run into bronchitis. She coughed as though she had consumption and could not sleep at night. The first bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar Compound gave her so much relief that she continued using it until she was permanently cured." M. C. Quigley.

Misses Fern and Elva Ballinger, of Eden, were the guests of friends here today.

THEY WORK SCHEME FOR COVETED SWEETS

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 19124

Rushville Paper Says Merchant is Not Always to Blame, as Money is Often Kept by Children.

There are none of them in Greenfield, we hope and believe, but the Rushville Jacksonian tells of a plan some children used there to get money to buy coveted sweets, that is certainly a bad start for boys and girls. The Jacksonian says: "Don't always blame the butcher when you think your children are getting short weight," said a local meat man Monday. "Sometimes parents send the exact amount of money to buy meat, and instead of calling for what the child is sent for, it w7ill call for one, two or sometimes five cents less."

A little girl had just left the shop and had insisted on buying only fourteen cents' worth of steak, and this was given her, with one cent in change. The butcher wrote on the wrapping paper, "Fourteen cents' worth of steak," much to the discomfort of the little girl, who no doubt had to make an explanation when she reached home. "Another kid," continued the meat man, "has been working the same game, his mother always sending the proper amount of change, and he was finally caught. One day I wrote on a slip of paper the amount called for, and the mother came rushing to the shop and said that she was getting tired of being short weighted, and when the system of the little grafter was explained to her, she promised right then and there to give that boy a good licking when he came from school."

Home.

Who of us is so immersed in the cares of business, or so hardened by the grind of daily toil that we cannot find in this magic word— "Home"—a charm beyond the spell of the amulets? Home! Home! The very name itself is an anthem in an acorn! Composed of only four letters of the English alphabet, it is one of the simplest words known to the tongue of Tennyson and of Shakespeare. It takes but a brealh to voice it. It takes but a stroke to write it. Bui an ocean plummet cannot sound its crystal depth of meaning. It has been the theme of all artists. It has been the burden of all songs. It lias been the dream of all poets. Tt has been the inspiration of all heroic thoughts and deeds and lives.

They did such good work that I strongly recommend them, and I hope my testimonial will prove of benefit to other kindey sufferers.*

WOMAN DIZZY PARTLY NUMB

Doctors Did Her No Good— Testifies How She Was Helped by Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound.

Zanesville Ohio. —"Last fall I had female weakness very bad, and was nervous and run down.

I was dizzy and had numb feelings and my eyes ached. I took doctor's medicines but they did me no good, so I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did so, and now I feel stronger and better. I have told other

women what Mrs. Pinkham's medicines have done for me and give you permission to publish this letter for the good of others."—Mrs. HULDA ERICKSON, 506 Maysville Avenue, Zanesville, Ohio.

More Proof.

Burlington, Iowa. —"For years I suffered a great deal from female troubles. I had awful pains and felt sick nearly all the time. I saw Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advertised and heard that it had helped other suffering women so I felt sure it would do me good. Sure enough it did. The first bottle helped me and now I am a strong and well woman. I would not be without it in the house."—Mrs. ANNA HIGGINS, 1125 Agency St., Burlington, Iowa.

There need be no doubt about the ability of this grand old remedy, made from the roots and herbs of our fields, to remedy woman's diseases. We possess volumes of proof of this fact, enough to convince the most skeptical. Why don't you try it?

Best Story in the Bible. One of our exchanges, in discussing the best story in the Bible, says: "It may surprise you, but it is about Noah and the flood. We may say this before educated folks who turn up their noses and say the story is a fake. You remember, Noah had to work a long time on the ark. It was uphill business, too, to go toiling and sweating day after day in the hot sun building a boat away out on dry land, while the local anvil and hammer club sat around spitting tobacco juice on the lumber, whittling up his boards with their jack knives and telling him what a big fool he was to expect a big rain in a country where it was too hot to grow alfalfa. But he kept at it. Finally, the flood came and every mother's son of tht.1 croakers were drowned. This is the only instance we know of, either in sacred or profane history, where a bunch of knockers got exactly what was coming to them."

A Hero in a Lighthouse. For years J. S. Donahue, South Haven, Mich., a civil war captain, as a lighthouse keeper, averted awful wrecks, but a queer fact is, he might have been a wreck, himself, if Electric Bitters had not prevented. "They cured me of kidney trouble and chills," he writes, "after I had taken other so-called cures for years, without benefit and they also improved my sight. Now, ai seventy, I am feeling fine." For dyspepsia, indigestion, all stomach liver and kidney troubles, they're without equal. Try them. Only 50 cts. at M. C. Quigley's.

Henry Knierehm, who has been living on R. R. 3. on what is known as the Winslow farm, is preparing to move lo Indianapolis.

A Girl's Wild Midnight Bide. To warn people of a fearful forest fire in the Catskills, a young girl rode horseback at midnight and saved many lives. Her deed was glorious, but lives are often saved by Dr. King's New Discovery in curing lung trouble, coughs and colds, which might have ended in consumption or pneumonia. "It cured me of a dreadful cough and lung disease," writes W. R. Patterson, Wellington, Texas., after four in our family had died with consumption, and I gained 87 pounds." Nothing so sure and safe for all throat and lung troubles. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by M. C. Quigley.

RED CROSS SALES ALMOST DOUBLED

Almost Million and a Quarter Sold in 1911—Terrc Haute Won the $5,000 Prize for Best Sales

Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 27.—More than one million Red Cross seals were sold in Indiana in 1911, making a record for the state. Terre Haute wins the $5,000 prize given by the McCrum-Howell Co. The other six prizes go to Kirkpatric-k, Danville, Pierceton, Greensburg, Mt. Carmel, and Goodland.

This announcement was made today by Merle Sidener and Guernsey Van Ripor, the Indiana sales managers, who directed the sale in the state. It is based upon reports from all but a few of the 246 cities and towns, among them Indianapolis and Anderson. When all reports are received, the sales managers expect the record to reach 1,250,000 a 100 per cent, increase over the sale of 1910.

According to the conditions of the contest, the city selling 10,000 seals and making the highest per capita sale would be awarded the prize. Terre Haute headed the list with a gross sale of 192,000 Red Cross seals and a percapita record of 3.57 seals sold for each inhabitant.

Greensburg ranked next in the sale of more than $100 worth of seals, with 3.33 seals sold for each inhabitant. The competition be tween these two cities was very keen throughout the entire campaign.

The largest per capita sale of Red Cross seals was made by Ivirkpattrick, a small town of 87 inhabitants, near Crawfordsville. In that town 11.10 seals per inhabitant were sold. Danville ranked second with a sale of 4.78, and Pierceton third, with 4.52 to its credit. The per capita sale in Mt. Carmel was 3.26 and in Goodland, 2.92.

With the exception of Terre Haute and Goodland, hand or electric suction cleaners will be awarded Goodland will get a handsome silk flag.

Last year 680,000 seals were sold in this state. From reports received to date, there has already been an increase of nearly 400,000 over the sale in 1910. In 1909, 780,000 of the seals were sold in Indiana.

Medicines that aid nature are always most effectual. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy acts on this plan. It allays the cough, relieves the lungs, opens the secretions and aids sature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. Thousands have testified to its superior excellence. Sold by all dealers.

Start New Every Day.

Finish every day and be done with it. For manners and for wise living, it is a vice to remember. You have done what you could some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a newday you shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day for all that is good and fair. It is too dear with all its hopes and invitations to waste a moment on the rotten yesterdays.

Indiana Will Be Represented. This section is' to be represented at the Clay Products and Permanent Home Exposition to be held at Chicago Coliseum, March 7 lo 12th. T. A. Randall, of Indianapolis, has been appointed exposition commissioner in I lie Indiana territory.

is sweeping over I he town. Old and young alike are affected, and the strain is particularly hard on little children and on elderly people. Foley's Honey and Tar Compound is a quick, safe and reliable cure for all coughs and colds. Contains no opiates. M. C. Quigley.

A Song Writer's Bomance. "When the Right Little Girl Loves You" has been the inspiration of the greatest and grandest acts in the lives of most men, and Mr. Joe Bren, the popular composer and song writer, is no exception to the rule, as his latest song hit proves.

There is a very pretty romance connected .with his courtship and recent marriage. One day, while strolling along the beach, in tow of Dan Cupid, you may be sure, drinking in the pure ozone, finding new chords and themes in the beating of the waves upon the sand, in the whistling of the wind and neverceasing cries of sea birds, he met "the right little girl."

Then followed a pretty romance —friends—lovers engaged, papa's stern refusal—the quiet marriage— winning father's forgiveness—then that complete happiness that comes from the union of two souls. That the happy bride is exceptionally pretty and an heiress only adds heart interest to the story.

With his dainty bride as muse, Mr. Bren has portrayed the romance of his life in the words of his latest, beautiful, catchy song, "WThen the Right Little Girl Loves You," which is rapidly proving itself one of the popular musical hits of the season, both with the profession and the public. This song, as well as Mr. Bren's popular hits, "Just One Word from You," and "If You but Knew" is published by the J. W. Jenkin's Sons Music Co., Kansas City, Mo. d&w
