DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Bus tachian Tube. When this tube is in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and where it is en- tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be tak: en out and this tube restored to its nor- mal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Kuk than it has as related to Wash- ington, but as the radius of the circles drawn from Keokuk is the same length as the radius of the circles drawn from Washington, Keokuk's Zone Six will be just as far from its center as Washington’s Zone Six is. How Rates Are Fixed. It can be seen from this readily enough that the postal rates from Washington to its particular zone will be the same as the postal rates from Keakuk to its particular zomes. Each unit being about thirty miles square will of course contain in most cases a number of postoffices, but each office in the same unit is considered as be- ing the center of the circles from which the zones are drawn. - Thq rates .of postage are flred from the unit in which the sending postoffice is situzated, but the price to every place in any zone is-just the same. To il- lustrate, it will cost exactly the same amount to send a parcel .from Wash- ington to Erfe, Pa., that it costs to send it to Atlanta, Ga., because Erie and Atlanta with reference to Wash- ington are situated in the fourth zone. The rates therefore are fixe from the unit in which the postofiice is located, but they are the same from that office to any point in .any one zone. It will be seem by reference-to the table of rates of postage that it will cost more per pound to send a pack- age a long distance than it does to #end it a short distance. The rate in- creases for a package weighing one pound at the.rate of one cent for each zone. No package weighing more than 11 pounds can be sent un- der the new parcel - post law. It shovld be sabl right Here that on the long hauls the parcel post may not be able to compete with the express companies, but that on shorter hauls it can so compete. It was the ex- pressed desfre of the legislators and of the postoffice officisls that the par- cel post system should be made of particular use to persons having farm eand factory -products to transmit to customers. It is probable that pro- ducers must study-the rates of post- age and the convemience of trans- mittal and ‘compare them with the cost _and canvenience under : present methods befare individnally a man can determine whether he is to profit or mot by the change. - Then there is an- other - thing to be conmsidered and which only can be known definitely when fuller reguletions - hawe been made to specity exactly what kind of things can be sent by parcel post. ‘It «can be said In & genaral way thaf any- be sent 3 properly ‘This map is for use only In unit No. 1071, In which the city of Washington I ited.

It is probable that the government will adopt a means of transportation for certain kinds of its merchandise much like those which have been adopted in parcel post countries abroad. What the English call ham- pers, basket-like arrangements, prob- ably will be adopted, and as these can be kept separate from the ordinary mafl matter it is believed that the regulations as finally ‘adopted will al- low the scading of eggs, butter, dress. ed poultry, live poultry, honey, fruit, and other productd of the country. The 11-pound limit for a single pack- age may work at*fitst agamst any very extended use of the parcel post for some of the articles which have been named. Of course, more weight can be sent if it is sent in different parcels, but the cost in that case would be heavier because the in- crease per pound on'a single package 18 not great up to 11 pounds, and ‘probably it would increase at no great- er rate if the government were to raise the limit of weight which is now fixed. To make it simpler, it will cost more to send two packages of 11 ' pounds than it would to send one package of 22° pounds if the govern: ment eventually should allow a heavi er single package to be carried and should charge in proportion just what it does now for one package of 11 pounds weight. Every in the United States will have a parcel post map like the one which is here reproduced except that- the zone lines will be shown with the unit of his postofiice 88 a center. All that a postmaster will have to do when a parcel is pre- sented for tramsportation is to find out in what zone the destination of the package lies. His table will show him instantly the rate per pound from the unit in which his postoffice lies to the zone of the package’s destina- tions, the price as has been explained before, to every postoffice in any one Eone being the same. The parcel post ‘will take nothing but feurth-class mat- ter. Printed matter s still in the thirdclass designation. Therefors books cannot be sent by the parcel post system. This the postoffice au- thorities seem to think is in a way unjust and may work a hardship. It may be that in the future the law will 4 | be changed so as to include all print- ed matter. It seems to be certain that an ‘attempt will be made to bring about this change as speedily as pos- sible. e 2 " The postofiice department has given instruction to every postmaster in the country to enlighten his patrons as much as possible on the general sub- Ject of the parcel post and especially on the use of the special stamps and the necessary attachment of the re- turn card. The law requires that all fourth-class matter mailed a’ier Jan- uary 1, 1913, without parcel post stamps attached shall be treated as “Held for postage” matter. Parcel post packages will be maflable only at postoffices, branch postoffices, let- tered and local named stations, and such numbered stations as may be 16 should be said that the act o ‘congress which puts a parcel post plan into operation does not in any way affect the postage rate on seeds, cut- tings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants as fixed by section 482 of the postal laws and regulations. = The classification of articles mail- eble as well as the weight limit, the rates of postage, zone or zones and other conditions of mailability under the act of congress, if the postmaster general shall find on experience “that such as to the receipts ot = consent of the Interstate commerce commission after investigation, to re- form from time to time such classifi- cation, weight limit, rates, zone or zones or conditions, in order to pro- mote the service to the public or to insure the receipt of revenue from such service adequate to pay the cost thereof.” Through many years différent mem- bers. of the house and senate have been interested in promoting parcel post legislation. Among the men most active in securing the legislation which soon is to go into effect as law are Senator Jonathan Bourne of who has just been” zer of New Y W a elected governor of t state. To ascertain conditions surrounding’| the establishment of the parcel post system in places differing widely in size, climate and industries, Postmas- ter General Hitchcock recently sum- - moned to Washington, to. confér with the special parcel post committee, the postmasters of five typical offices. They are William H. Davis, Pittsburg, Pa:; Daniel T. Gerow, Jacksonville, Fla.; M. H. Joster, Wilmington, Del.; E. M. C: Quimby, Suffolk, Va. and }vlem-y N Bradley, Charlestown, W. 8. : Confer With Postmasters. - The postmasters of the five largest offices in the country have alresdy sppeared before the committee, so Pittsburg was represented as being s large first class office, though smaller than any of the greater five, and as being the center of a tremendous man- ufacturing area. The postmaster of Pittsburg reported that the board of trade of that city has a special parcel post committee, working - toward bringing the consumer and producer nearer to each other by the new sys- tem. He also said that many of the merchants are planning to have their city deliveries made by parcel post. ‘Wilmington, Del.,, represented = large farming and manufacturing dis- trict, with its maifl connections close with Philadelphia, one of the largest offices. Jacksonville is the largest of- fice in Florida, and the outlet for all the mail of the state. It is peculiar In having a special increase of force In winter, the tourist season, and the postmaster said that it was expected that travelers would use the parcel post_extensively in sending home five and ten-pound packages of fruit. Suffolk, Va., and Charlestown, W. Va., are both very small second class offices, one in the tide-water district, with large truck interests; the other far inland in an orchard country, with diversified farm products. The post- masters of both offices reported great Interest in the parcel post, and said that they had continual inquiries re- garding its scope. From these postmasters the com- mitteé was able to ‘glean a great ount of valuable informat .| which; added to that gained from the | recént hearings in Maryland, puts it In a position to plan the details of the service to the greatest advantage of the producing farmer. © CURES DRINK HABIT So uniformly successful has ORRINE in “restoring the vietims of the ¢‘Drink Habit’’ into sober and useful eitizens, and so strong is our confidence its curative powers, that we want to ‘emphasize the fact that ORRINE is sold wmti:r Ithin positive g::mntee.
