LONDON. Feb. 9. The official announcement that King George has not recovered sufficiently from his injuries to officiate at the opening of parliament next Tuesday, gave rise to anxiety and alarming reports today. - Following closely upon a statement that the king had entirely recovered, the latest announcement aroused fears that the king suffered internal injuries when he was thrown from his horse In France on October 28. which the 'physicians have kept a secret from the public. For weeks the king has been living in seclusion, although he has been holding conferences with members of the government. In some quarters it was hinted that his majesty had been advised not to

appear in public for fear of assassination by German agents. It is an open secret that King George id constantly surrounded by a strong bodyguard.

MUST MOVE BOXES

As soon as the weather makes it possible for the farmers to work without being inconvenienced by the frozen ground, Postmaster Beck intends to open a campaign to induce the farmers to move their mail boxes nearer the road. Many rural route patrons have their boxes so far away from the road that the carrier is required to get out of his automobile to place mail in the. box. Orders have been received from the department at Washington requiring the farmers to place names plainly on the boxes and to place the boxes in such a position that they can be easily reached by the carriers. This has not been complied with in many cases, Mr. Berk asserted. ' The postmaster intends to inspect the routes personally and report each

Ci.se. If the patrons persist in their

refusal, the department will order the Carriers to cease delivering mail at their respective boxes.

Clandestine Notes Ordered Stopped

DRIVING TO ONE SIDE DAMAGES HIGHWAYS

Complaint has been made with Co nty Road Superintendent Jones on the practice of some farmers who drive along the side of the cement and brick roads in the county with heavy loads. Because of the soft condition of the ground on both sides of the roads, the wheels of the wagons sink several inches. The farmers have practiced this especially on hills where they use this means Instead of using the wagon brakes going down the hills.

The clerks at the postoffice do not

wish to be unromantic but this is the

latest edict:

"Clandestine correspondence must

stop." -

Cards, with some pertinent questions printed on them, are being presented to each caller at the general delivery window and if he can give

good reason why he Is receiving his

mail in this manner he may continue

to do so. Otherwise, he must stop.

"Both young and old persons are

zettins their mail at the general de

livery window," said Postmaster Beck. "Some of them have regular resi

dences where mail is delivered each day. The orders to put a stop to this

practice have come rrom t oinciais ai Washington." Cards bearing the following questions will have to be signed by every

caller at the general delivery window:

"The department desires to facili

tate the delivery of mail and requests

the co-operation of the public to the extent that residents direct the delivery of mail by carriers in all cases where such delivery will not be personally inconvenient to the addresses. "I hereby make application for general delivery privileges and respectfully state the facts given below: (Signature). "Mail will not be delivered to minors through the general delivery except upon the specific instructions of their parents. Mail addressed to fictitious persons or firms or to initials will not be delivered through the gen

eral delivery and the postmasters may require the identification of the addresses."

Library Bars Books Dads Read as Boys

Postmaster Beck said today that he does not know how many persons are receiving mail in this manner but that he knows definitely that the new order will work a hardship on a large number of persons following this practice.

ATTENTION DIRECTED TO NEW HOSPITAL

of

P. 0. AUTO STALLED

In spite of the i Dor condition of the roads, Postmaster Beck said today that the mall carriers have had but little trouble in covering the routes in automobiles. Only one accident has been reported. Frank Thomas, Route C, drove off the side of the road to reach a mail box today and the car stuck in a mud hole. He had to be pulled out with a team of horses.

EMBARGO IS ORDERED

DES MOINES, la., Feb. !). Requests by Illonois stockmen and Dr. O. F. Gyson, state veterinarian of Illinois, that the Iowa embargo placed on Illinois cattle because of the foot and mouth disease he raised have been refused by the Iowa animal health

commission.

, With a successful , termination

the county visiting nurse fund campaign in sight, the executive committee of the Wayne County Anti-Tuberculosis society is already making plans for the work she is to do. With

this work established, the society will then devote all its efforts toward the establishment of the tuberculosis hospital that has been promised by the county commissioners in .1917. The society does not intend to cease its efforts to obtain the hospital merely with the promise of the commissioners, but the educational work for the visiting nurse in the county will be outlined along this line, said one of. the members of the executive committee today.

HOBO HOTEL GUEST TELLS OF ACTIVITY AS STORE BURGLAR

RULING QUALIFIES LOCAL CANDIDATES

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 9. Attorney General Stotsenberg today ruled that Frank Strayer and Denver Harlan, both candidates for the Republican nomination as prosecutor of Wayne county, had qualified their candidacies under the provisions of the primary law. Stotsenberg ruled that all candidates who had filed in the office of the secretary of state declarations of their candidacies b?fore midnight, last Saturday, were entitled to have their names placed on the ballots of their respective parties. When Harlan and Strayer arrived in Indianapolis Saturday evening they found the office of the secretary of state closed.

Herman Finck, aged 57, who registered on. the directory of the Hotel de Hobo, city building, last night, as a

resident of Dayton, O., today informed the police that he really lived anywhere he hung his hat, and that he was an ex-burglar, having served three penitentiary terms. "I've quite being a crook now, however," Finck said. "It don't pay to be a crook In these days of telephones and automobiles. I make my living now burning about the country sharpening scissors." Finck said he once served nine years for highway robbery, although innocent of the charge he was convicted upon. "Then I started to be a regular crook when I got out. I specialized on robbing country stores. I served twice for such jobs." Finck also informed the police that nine out of ten men who sought shelter in the Hotel de Hobo were not workmen out of employment, but "regular, dirty, lazy bums."

Boys' Shoes at Big Discount Walk-Over Boot Shop

How many, or how few, Is better, of the grown-ups who, in youthful days were wont to spend many hours In anxious quest of "Sink of Swim," "Strong and Steady," "Tom, the Bootblack." and similar volumns at the Juvenile department of the city library, know today that not a single volumn of the works of the author so popular among Juveniles. Horatio Alger, Jr., is listed on the shelves of the local library? "Alger books are as popular as always, I suppose?" queried a knight of the notebook and typewriter in search of a story to the librarian at the juvenile window of the city library. "I supposed they are, but of course, we scarcely have a call for them now

Protection Is Good Guarantee

If a nation can insure permanent peace by being well protected, then why should not the same rule apply to an individual? A nation protects itself by building fortresses, warships and creating an army. The individual should protect his health by building strong, healthy nerves and tissues and creating a good blood circulation. "I was In very poor health for about a year." said W. J. Albright, machinist at the Columbus Machine and Tool company's works, living at 1149 Summit avenue, Columbus, to the Vln Hepatica representative, " but Vin Hepatica has built me up and fortified nie against my trouble. "I had Indigestion, and everything I

ate would sour on my stomach. I i

would have pains at times that would nearly draw me double. My back was in a bad way and lumbaso annoyed me so that I could hardly work at my trade. "One of the boys who works at the 6hop told me how Vin Ilcpatica had relieved his wife, and I decided to try It. "Hie first bottle of Vln Hepatica 1 took relieved me very much, and 1 have been getting better rijfht along. I have now taken three bottleB and have not felt any of the symptoms of lumbago for more than a 'ek. I formerlv had trouble with my kidneys, but it has all disappeared and I feel Iik a lark. "When 1 go to bed I sleep like a log and get up in the morning feeling refreshed. I can not say enough good ibout Vin Ilcpatica. 1 believe it will bolp everybody who Is annoyed with lumbago or stomach trouble." Vin Hepatica is a vegetable tonic

which enriches the blood, strengthens the tissues and quiets the nerves. If you are subject to weak stomach, kidneys or sluggish liver you can not take Vin Hepatica too soon. It has won endorsements from people in all walks of life. Vin Hepatica is being introduced ind explained at Clem Thistiethwaite's Jrug store, 914 Main street. Adv.

I that it has been three or four years since all Alger books were ordered removed from the shelves of the Richmond library." was the answer. This was indeed "news." That the Alger stories give the youth a false impression of life in its sterner realities and that the reader is led to believe that "courage, ambition and perseverance will eventually make one rich," were assigned as the reasons for the removal of Alger books. "And what branch or phase of fiction has supplanted the popular Alger editions?" was the next query. "Stories of travel and of adventure, tales of college life, Boy Scout books, biography and books of science experiments are popular with the local

juvenile reading public. The younger

boys want Indian stories. After a

while the youth begins to think of travel and adventure. . This term is followed by a zest for more stirring ad

ventures. . Books on scientific experiments are popular with a certain class of readers. As a whole Richmond youths demand stories wortn while," continued the librarian.
