elusion of peace and the expiration of

the provisions of tho act under which the utilities are now controlled, Fostma3ter. General Burleson declares In his annual report, made public today. The war has shown that government ownership of telephones and telegraphs "is not only sound, but practicable," the Postmaster General says, In repeating the recommendation which he had made in previous reports, but which he makes for the first tinn as head of the government asency controlling the land communication lines. "The experience, as a result of the present war, fully have demonstrated that the principle of government ownership of the telephones and telegraphs is not only sound, but practical," Mr. Burleson says. Profit Not Considered. "It lias been necessary as a war measure for congress to consider legislation authorizing the President to assume control of the telegraph and telephone systems of the country. While such control Is temporary, and will exist only until the ratification of the treaty of peace, yet the best results can bo obtained only when these systems are owned by the government, made a part of the postal establishment and operated solely with a view to serving the public and not making profits or guaranteeing returns on the investment. "Government ownership of the telegraphs and telephones should not longer bo delayed, and the action of congress in this matter is urgently recommended." Operations of the Postofflce Department for the fiscal year ending last Juno 30 resulted in a surplus of receipts over expenses of $19,979,793, according to the report. Approximately $44,500,000 additional was paid over to the Treasury from the Increased postal charges imposed for war revenue. Total revenues of the department from all sources during the year are given as $338,975,962, against $329,726,115 for the 1917 fiscal year. Total expenditures are reported at $324,833,728, against $319,838,718 in 1917. Disregarding the Increased postal rates effective November 2, under the war tax bill, the actual Increase in postal service business during this year Is placed at 4.47 per cent, whilo expenditures increased 1.56 per cent. Mr. Burleson, for the first time, officially reports upon the use of airplanes for transmission of mail and povernment-owned trucks for the operation of rural parcels post routes, disclosing plans for wide extension of both facilities.

WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS OF HOT WATER

Wash the poisons and toxins from system before putting mors food Into stomach.

Waeh yourseir pn the inside dc-u. breakfast like you do on tho outside. This Is vastly more Important because the skin pore3 do not absorb impurities Into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out of the body. If this waste material Is not eliminated day by day It quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sustain the body. A Eplendld health measure is to drink before breakfast each day, a glass of real hot water with a teaBpoonful of limestone phosphate in It, which Is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the Btomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putlng more food into the stomach. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on Inside-bathing. Adv.

REDUCED RATES FOR NIGHT MESSAGES

Manager M. A. Ryan, of the local Western Union office, announces a scale of greatly reduced rates for short over-night messages, effective January 1. The new rates are calculated to develop a new class of telegraphic correspondence consisting of short communications which should not suffer the delays inseparable from physical transportations in the mails but which will not stand the higber rates necessarily charged for the longer night letters. The new service, known as night messages. Is designed to supplement and round out the night letter fservice. The minimum night mes

sage rate is 20 cents, and for 25 cents ten word over-night messages can be sent a considerable distance, while the maximum rate is 50 cents as against a maximum of $1 heretofore charged. The new. rates should not only prove a boon to the business interests of this city but lead to the same large

use of the telegraph in social corres-1

pondence that prevails in European countries.

The forests of the Caucasus In Russia are estimated'at 12,000,000 acres, chiefly In the Black sea territory, which is at the rate of nearly twenty acres to each inhabitant.

SIMPLE WAY TO REMOVE DANDRUFF

There Is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that Is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of It, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. Adv.

MUCH RHEUMATISM Local Druggist's No-Cure No-Pay Offer Attracts Many Sufferers. If there are any rheumatic sufferers in town who have not availed themselves of Quigley Drug Stores' generous offer they should do so at once. They state that if Rheuma, the guaranteed prescription for rheumatism, does not give any, purchaser quick and Joyful relief, they will return the purchase price without any quibbling or red tape.

I have now taken five bottles, and can go without crutches or other aid, which I could not do for the last nine months.. 1 highly recommend it, and would gladly

answer any questions asked, on receipt of stamp for postage. This letter may ; be published as a benefit to sufferers ; from rheumatism in any form." j Thomas H. Eddy, Schuylerville, N. Y. Good druggists everywhere sell : Rheuma. A large bottle is inexpen-j sive. Adv. I
