PARCELS POST WILL

BRING

10VATI0NS

Carriers Will Wrestle with . Eggs, Chickens, Country Butter and Rabbits.

Richmond users of the new parcel post system, to be started January 1, are likely to get noisy mail -when the delivery begins. Live chickens, "dayold chickens," eggs and other fragile objects, as well as general farm and garden products, will be admitted to the parcels post along with other mer

chandise, when it is instituted the first of January. Admission of these things kas practically been determined by the rpeclal commission drawing the regulations for the parcels post. The schedule is to be so arranged that city dwellers may get fresh eggs, and butter, chickens and other produce direct from the farms by mail. This will be an important feature of the parcels post. Eggs and chickens and produce are carried by the posts of European nations, and the same conditions will apply here. Not only will the government carry these things but an indemnity will be provided for their loss or damage in transit. Farmers living in the counties contiguous to or within an easy range of liichmond will be able to supply their trade in the city direct without ever hitching up a team and making the long journey to town. This will have i them the major expense of marketing , goods, as well as saving time and mon

ey both to consumer and producer. It

is possible the parcels po3t will prove to be a novel means of cutting the high living cost. Country folks coming to the Saturday market have to leave home Friday. They have to provide board and lodging for themselves as well as for teams, and this is a heavy expense. Various big poultry dealers have already sent statistics to the department showing how eggs and chickens nay be handled and carried. This is

particularly true of the "day old chick" distributors, who run the biggest hatcheries in the. country. A big business in these day-old chicks has tprung up throughout the country. Eggs are set in ' Incubators having a capacity of as much as 100,000 eggs.Ihe day the chicks are hatched they are shipped. In this condition they can

go four days in transit without food or drink, and poultry dealers ship chicks now instead of eggs to the fanciers and small raisers. The receipts of country butter and eggs by mail will no doubt prove an interesting novelty for Richmond housewives. In addition they may send to gardeners a card order early in the week, and get on Saturday in return mail their supply of vegetables and other table stuff. Not only is the provision being made for the handling of these things, but it is expected a C. O. D. system will be

'arranged for the collection by carrier iof the merchant's cost as well as the

mail charges, thereby furnishing a cash collection agency for the farmers. These provisions will, of course, work in the opposite direction, and urban business houses may do a mail order business heretofore impossible.

FACE DISGRACEFUL WITH BASH Large Scabs Would Form, Fester and Break. Itching and Burning. Kept from Sleeping. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured.

Sioux Falls,' 8. D. "My trouble of skin disease started merely as a rash on my faco and neck, b.ut it grew and kept getting

worse until large scabs would form, feeter and break. This was just on the one side of my face, but It soon scattered to the other side. I suffered a great deal especially at night on account of its itching and burning. I would scratch it and of course that

Irritated it very much. This rash was on my face for about two years sometimes breaking out lots worse and forming larger Borea. It kept me from sleeping day or night for s couple of months. My face looked disgraceful, and I was almost ashamed to be seen by my friends. "A friend asked me to try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I would bathe my face with hob water and a lot of Cutieara fioap, then X would put on the Cuticura Ointment. In less than two days time, the sorenoss and Inflammation had almost entirely disappeared, and In four weeks' time you could not see any of the rash. Now my face is without a spot of any kind. I also use them for my scalp and hair. They cured ma completely." (Signed) Mies Tansy Hutchins, Feb. 6, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment are Bold throughout the world.

Durability of Steel. It has been shown that nearly all the failures of steel occur very early in Its history. If a plate or bar of mild steel lasts for a year in service it may be trusted to last foi' many years. The most injurious thing is continual bending backward and forward, as in what is called the "panting" of n boiler end. As one authority puts it, steel has a somewhat "tumultuous youth," but "in middle age It is trustworthy and in old age beyond reproach." In regard to corrosion there is difference of opinion, some holding that steel corrodes more readily than iron.

FIGHTING OWH CASE Is Atty. Gibson Charged with Slaying a Woman. (National News Association) GOSHEN, N. Y., Sept. 18. Attorney B. W. Gibson, charged with the murder of Countess R. Szabo, was arraigned before Justice Royce Tuesday

and his hearing was set for Septenv ;

ber 30. The prisoner's wife was present, being the only woman in the court room. She was deeply afefcted when the charge against Gibson was read. District Attorney Rogers said he would frustrate Gibson's plans to have the entire case cleared up at the preliminary hearing by presenting only enough evidence to warrant holding the prisoner for the grand jury. The judge adviced Gibson to secure coun-

I 6el for himself but the lawyer declared

he would waive all right for conns for the time being.
