REPORT FOR 15 DAYS
Shows that $205.35 Was Collected as Postage in New Department.
BY POSTMASTER E. M. HAAS. Since the Parrel Post business is not operated by a private corporation for profit, but belongs to the government which operated it solely for the benefit of the people there is no reason why the people may not know fully how this new public service is progressing, or any information concernins its operation. As it ia a. new service in this country, the methods of administration and expense of operation could not be definitely fixed until it. had gone through an experimental stage. This being a short session of congress the post office department had only a short time to collect data on which to base an estimate for the necessary appropriation to carry on the service for the current fiscal year, ending June 30, 1913. The amount of business transacted in the first 15 days of the service, which at best can only be taken as indication of its possibilities, must serve as the basis for the estimates. Details of Work. A detailed record of the number of packages handled, amount of postage collected and expense of handling it has been kept for this period in every office of the country and the figures for the local office will be surprising to the public. The fifteen days include three holidays, and it therefore reallyonly represents 12 days of service. The tabulation shows the following: Total No. local parcels delivered 36 Total No. of incoming parcels . delivered 3,089 Total all parcels delivered 3,125 Total No. parcels despatched.. 1,935 Total No. parcels in and out. ... 5,060 Total No., parcels insured 57 Postage collected on parcels dispatched $205.35 Average weight of parcels despatched t lb. 10 oz. It is entirely proper to make, comparisons with, former cost of postage on this amount of business and also with express rates to show the benefits to the public of the service. The 1935 parcels dispatched at the old rate of one cent an ounce would have cost $503.10 which makes a saving of $297.75. If we compare it with express rates the figures are still more favorable for the public. At the minimum express rate of 25 cents, the 1935 parcels would have cost $483.75, but at these parcels went to all parts of the United States, Canada and Great Britain, it would be fair to add at least 50 percent to these charges making a total of $725.52, This would show a saving of $520.17 on express charges, which ia more than 70 per cent. Will Increase. I am quite confident that this service will double in volume in the local . office within sixty days, and the possibilities of the local service which has only averaged ? ffi packages per day will still further increase it. As the local service is something entirely new the development will be slow, but as local merchants as well as farmers and public generally will use this service and appreciate its possibilities, it will become as popular as rural and city free delivery. New method of merchandise will be developed based on this new service. I will be glad to give any information or instruction on any phase of 'the service at any' time. Maps and guides can be purchased from - the post office department by remitting a post office money order for seventyve cents to the chief clerk, post office department, Washington, D. C. This will enable anyone to rate up parcels, and does not subject them to any mysterious rate sheets. CHRONIC INDIGESTION PERMANENTLY CURED. "Six years ago," writes S. E. Carpenter, East Aurora, N.

HER" TWO QUESTIONS. One Was Answered Before and the Other After Marriage. A silvery summer moon shoue sweetly on the likewise silvery snnds. The summer sweethearts sat in silence. She was gazing up at tbe dim blue vault over them, where the little stars twinkled in a million tiny points of flame. He was gaziug at her as if he'd Ulie to eat her. "Dearie, what makes the stain shine so dimly tonight?" she gurgled. "Tbey are outshone by the glorious light of your eyes, my darling," he whispered foolishly, "and so they pale in their splendor and er and" He didn't know how to go on, so he kissed her instead. And she was quite satisfied, perfectly content and glad. And a solemn silence enwrapped tbe summer night. , . . . Same moon, same sands, same people only they are married now. "I wonder how many telegraph poles," she murmured thoughtfully, "it would take to reach from here to the moon." He looked at her as if he'd like to bite her. "One, If it was long enough," he snapped. "Don't ask such silly questions!" And a solemn silence enwrapped the summer night. London Answers.

The Position of the Poles. Both Peary and A iniiidsen made allowances iu delermiuing tbe sites of the poles. TliCir position Is not perfectly constant, there being a counter clock elliptical movement of some thirty feet nud a counter clock circular movement of some tweuty-slx feet in diameter in a period of 42S days at the extreme axis of the earth. This change, however. Is so slight as not to be reckoned in practical calculations. Peary and Amundsen made no guesses, but took several observations from various standpoints to determine conclusively tbnt they had reached the poles. Christian Herald.

Greedy Dogfish.
A story is going tbe rounds in which
four anglers were occupied with one fish, a big mackerel. It took tbe bait of one of them and then proceeded to entangle the four lines, so that it seemed there were four fish. I dare say it came in for some hard sayings when the truth was made manifest But it is not uncommon for fish to take two different baits. I have known it to happen with both perch and pike. Dogfish, of course, will often do it In fact I doubt if there is a limit to the number of baits a dogfish would take if you only gave him tbe baits
and tbe time and the opportunity.

Along with dyspepsia comes nervousness, sleeplessness and gen- A. eral ill health. Why? Because s disordered stomseh does not permit
the food to be assimilated and carried to the blood. On the other hand, the blood is charged with poisons which come from this disordered digestion. In turn, the nerves are not fed on good, red blood and we see those symptoms of nervous breakdown. It is not head work that does it, but poor stomach work. With poor thin blood the body is not protected against the attack of germs of grip bronchitis consumption. Fortify the body now with
