MALL CAR TESTED FIFTY YEARS AGO © Now Ninety Per Cent. of Mail is Separated The. New York, Aug. 28.—Fifty years ago today the world’s first railway ffall car was given its official test. Two mice were responsible for the| jdea. Before that day the mail was distributed according to addresses at ¢ertain designated post offices, which usually were the distributing points of whole states. It was slow and labor- jous work. At one of these dis- tributing points, Green Bay, Mich, a wair of mice made their home in a pouch that had lain in the post office for several days. When the pouch “‘finally reached its destination, near the upper shores of Lake Superior, the receiving post master found not only the rodent home seekers, but also a large family 'of little mice. They had made beds of chewed-up ‘letters. The post master reported the matter to the Chicago office and sent along the mice as an exhibit which was received by George B. Armstrong, the assistant postmaster, To prevent a repetition of such an occurrence, Armstrong sought to speed up the mail service, and finally FIGHTING DISEASE GERMS There is a popular idea that mostsick- ness is caused by & germ of the diseasc finding entrance to our bodies through the food we eat, the water or milk we drink or the air webreathe, Thisistrue as far as it goes but it is also true that disease germs are entering our bodies every day without causing discase, The reason for this is that there are forces within the body that are constant- 1y fighting these disease germs and it is only when this defence is wcakened that the germs get the upper hand and we be- come ill. ne of the most powerful of . these forces that work for health is rich, red blood. Good, healthy blood increases the resistance of the body to the dis- eases that are always threatening. It is easier to keep up this resistance by taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, eating proper food, avoiding articles of food that do not agree with us and getting lenty of fresh air day and night, than it is to cure discase after it gets a foot- hold. Keep up the resistance of your ¥ body to disease by thesctonic pills, which you can gct at any drug store, and you will avoid much sickness. TFwo booklets, ‘‘Building Up the Blood’’ and ‘“What to and How to_Eat,” will be sent free by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co. ly, N. Y evolved the idea of having the mail distributed on the trains while in transit. The plan was ridiculed. One man declared: “The government will have to employ a regiment of men to follow the trains to.pick up the let- ters that would be blown out of the cars.” = However, the first postal- car, an ordinary baggage car equipped with racks and pigeon holes, made its initial run from Chicago to Clinton, Iowa, fifty years ago today. Today every nation in the civilized world is distributing a large part of its mail matter in railway mail cars. In the United States over 18,000 rail- way mail clerks are separating over 90 per cent. of all the mail originating in this country and a large volume coming from foreign lands. They have separated in a single vear nearly 123,000,000,000 pieces of mail matter, not including registered mail. They travel an aggregate distance of 500,- 000,000 miles every year on the 27,000 domestic transportation routes having a combined mileage of 450,000 -miles. The service has been raised to the highest point of efficiency today and the present ratio of errors in distrib- ution has been reduced to one in 10,000 pieces. of mail. The clerks are expected to distribute the mail so that there will be no rehandling in the post offices of large cities and to | separate it into packages correspond- ing with each mail carrier’s route in the cities. 1In the case of the largest | cities they must separate it according jto section substations. Considering {the speed at which the clerks sort [ the mail, the swayving of the train | plunging along at fifty miles an hour, | the- thousands of railway connecting points, the locations of over 60,000 | post offices in the United States, and | | the illegibility of the handwritten ad- dresses, it becomes a marvel how the railway mail clerk can work without a greater proportion of er- ors. !SPELLACY ATTACKS - | GOVERNOR BALDWIN Ex-Senator Calls Executive “A Tory of the Worst Establishcd Order” At Fisher Rally, Hartford. Hartford, Aug. 28.—A bitter attack upon Governor Simeon E. Baldwin and his cgndidacy for the United States sen&orship. made last | nisht by ex-Senator Thomas J. Spel- il.’u'}\ in addressing a meeting of third ward democrats, who favor the nom- iination of Prof. Willard C. Fisher, of Middletown, for governor.

He criticized his dis- tribution of patronage in Hartford county, and said the governor was “'guilty of embezzlement of power.” He did not think he was a man for the United States senate, and declared that if he was elected, he would ‘“‘greatly hamper President Wilson.” Prof. Fisher also spoke. Goodyear Tires at Ante-Bellum Prices The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. announce “No war prices on year Tires. F, ieberling, pre dent of the company, thus explains, their unique position. “We advanced Goodyear prices, as others did theirs, when the rubber panic came. Almost in a day crude rubber rose in New York from ‘ifty- five cents per pound to much over a, dollar.. And, as miost of the world’s rubber comes via London or Antwerp, | [ we saw no way out for a time. “The New York supply was small to consider. European change was entirely suspended. chant ships had ceased running. | “But we have an ammost worll- wide organization, and we brought it at once into play. We are the world’s largest buyers of high-grade rubber, ‘so we have our own experts in Lon- don, Colombo, Singapore and Para. “We cabled our London people to buys up the pick of the runber there. By* acting quickly and paying cash they obtained 1,500,000 pounds of the finest rubber there. They bought Je- fore the advance—before the other buyers saw a way to get London ex- change or to bring the rubber here. “That big supply of rubber is n-ow nearly all on the way to the Goodyear factory in Akron. It constitutes tie best of the London supply. On the inferior grades remaining, prices hive since been rapidly advanced. ~ ° “We have since taken other rteps too ex- Mer- to insure us a continuous supply, all of the highest grade rubber. 1In all the chief sources of rubber supply we have experts on the ground. All is being done that can be done to se- pay for it and the ships to bring it yerc, “*The is that Goodyear tire prices are now the same as in June. This is true, we believe, of no other maker, all of whom have raised prices. We are using the same grade of rubber and the same amount of it result as we always have used in these tires. “We are running our factory with three shifts of men, twenty-four hours a day. So long as we remain in this fortunate position on rubber, we shall supply tire users at before- war prices to the lmit capacity.” cure the best rubber, the exchange to | l WAR STIMULATING DOMESTIC TRADE According to Reports. New York, Aug. 28.—Foreign ad- vices exercised a depressing influence at this financial center yesterday. Re ported further success of the Germar arms found reflection in another vance in exchange cables on Lond being quoted at 5.06 1-2, an increase of one per cent, over Wednesday. lew long bills were offered, but Iocal banks were in close touch with their Lon don and Paris correspondents deavoring to increase the supply and effect a resultant decline in rates, Negotiations for the openi credits by Austria, Italy and zerland were again under way, no headway was made, so far could be learned. Despite denials in high quarters, it is believed t a | syndicate of bankers is in process of | organization for the purchase of some ac e of Swit- but and other American ports, The cess of this project depends, it said, largely on the outcome of ports now being “exchanged betwcen this city and London. Stimulating Domestic Trade. Taking some of the day's reports at their face value it appears that the war is stimulating various branch- | es of domestic trade. Apart from the demand from South America, des- patches from Chicago, the south ani other points suggest a growing inquiry for manufactured products, includ- ing stee] and iron, with large orders for oil and cut lumber. More rail- roads are lifting the embargo on food- stuffs recently declared at Louisiana | and Texas ports. There was more | sensational trading in wheat and corn the close. It was regarded as sig- | nificant that seaboard shippers paid highest prices recorded today, mestic handlers being content to wait for a subsidence of the excitement. Receivership for the International Pump company occasioned little sur- prise, the affairs of the company hav- ing been a matter of general knowl- egge. It is not doubted the embar- rassment was hastened by the foreign situation, Quoted Rates Unchanged. Another gain qf cash by local banks for the current week is indicated by the movement to date. Payments by these institutions to the sub-treasury are more than offset by receipts from the interior. Quoted rates for money of " our | were unchanged with a minimum of dealings.
