The advertising columns of the newspapers are being util- ized, “prospects” are belng bom- barded with letters, and circulars extolling the advantages and vir- tues of the several bureaus are being scattered broadcast. The marriage literature makes its principal appeal to the “home- loving instinct” of men, who are in much greater demand in the mat- riage market than women. The press agents, however, are not always discriminating or dis- creet In the selection of “eljgible males.” One bureau sent a letter to 2 married man with a large family urzing him to “marry happily; don’t select your acquaintance at ran- dom from INSIST UPON (RONIZED Tablets t the Peoplen Drug Stores and by all good druxgists everywhere. of this examination will be made in the combatant arms only. | grade of second lieutenant as a Mesult riage bureaus.

PERFECT PACKAGE MONTH Carriers to Aid Shippers in Improv- ~ing Transportation Service. An appeal to business firms of this city to assist in making Washington rank high in “perfect package month,” to be held during November by the American Railway Express Company, is contained in a bulletin issued by the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association. The purpose of “perfect package month” is to enable the carriers to aid shippers in their packing prob- lems and to help improve the trans- portation service of the country. | At the conclusion of the month the { record of each city during the contest will be tabulated and published broad. | cast. The leading city will be ex= ploited, because of its perfection in shipping’ methods. A joint committee of local trans- portation men, composed.-of W. W. Bowle and D. Fisher, freight agents, representing the various rail- | roads, and O. B. George, superintend- ent of the American Railway Express Company, has_taken the matter up with the Merchants and Manufactur- ers' Association, and arrangements have been completed to enable the shippers of this city to' make a good showing in the movement. The bul- letin follows, in part: During November the railroads, steamship lines and the express com- panies will examine the condition of all freight and express shipments, and record the faults of shipments which do not come up to the general classi- fication of ‘perfect packages.’ “November was selected for the cam- paign, as the carricrs are in a posi- tion where they can give more care- | ful examination of passing traffic, and could, in fact, handle at least 25 per cent more businese. “Every city or town throughout the United States and Canada that ships by rail and water will be informed of | these plans and be asked to aid in!| carrying them out. The entire work- | ing organization of all of the rai roads and express companies are also to be enlisted in the campaign. com- prising a force of nearly 2,000,000 men.” The Othe/r Day That tempting chocolate Malted Milk you so often order at the soda fountain now may be made, at a minute’s notice, in your own home.
