Three Rilllon Letters a Year Now
Hear Tboae Initials.
Exchange.
The rural free delivery service of
the United States means the distri
bution of nearly 3,000,000,000 let
ters and parcels annually along the
highways and byways of every state
and territory from Maine to Alaska.
A force of 41,000 carriers dally go
over the routes assigned to them.
Bringing the mall to the farmer
now costs the nation $36,000,000 a
year In salaries for the carriers, ex
pense of examining new routes,
maintaining post offices, payments of
inspectors, special agents, clerks and
chiefs of bureaus.
To secure. Information to make
changes in routes and carriers where
deemed necessary, to establish new
routes and to record and tabulate
statistics and data for the postmas
ter-general as well as for the public
a force or only 110 persons is re
quired in Washington in spite of the
great amount of office work and cor
respondence that must be finished
daily.
Over a million letters are receiv
ed and answered by the department
of rural free delivery in a year.
Many of those received are merely
addressed to the department. To
save time of opening and reading
missives not properly directed ia a
part of the work of the mailing sec
tion. It includes a private postoffice
through which fcvery letter received
or sent relative to rural delivery
must pas3.
Every one of the half million and
more letters sent from thi3 depart
ment is copied for record by a me
chanical system, which saves the la
bor of a hundred copying clerks even
where the hand copying press or the
carbon method has been employed.
force of only seventeen clerks is
needed in this section, says the
Bookkeeper, yet in addition to hand
ing and copying mail they keep a
daily record of all the outlay for
postage expenses of the department
.-snd snrt and examine the hundreds
of letters daily received which must
be returned to the postoffice where
they should have been directed.
What the service does in receiv
ing applications for new routes, pe
titions for carriers, decisions of the
department, the payments and re
ceipts, is told by the postoffice news
paper. Published every day by the
accounting section, it is a record of
what every one in this postal count
ing house, including the assistant
postmaster-general himself, is doing.
Every important item of statistics is
tabulated In type.
The esprit de corps of the rural
free delivery Is best shown by the
last annual report. During the year
It states that out of the 41,000 in
the service the total dismissals for j
cause were only 165, less than the
total number of deaths.
The reasons for the dismissals
were principally incompetence and
failure to obey Instructions. No dis
missals or other dishonesty were on
the records. Considering the differ
ent kinds of men required, this is
indeed remarkable testimony to
tneir faithfulness and sneaks well

IKE MOTHER'S FHOBLEM
Of BnUIn; fining, Healtby Olrle.
A serious problem which presents IN
self to every mother with girls to raise,
In these days. Tbo exigencies of school
life, the harry and routine of every-day
du t ioa, the ar Ufi chU environment of
dlUicult to raise strong," healthy girls
than ever In the fciitory of the world.
Boys raise themselves. Give them
room, give them liberty, end they will
prow up healthy at least, without much
worrying. But the girls present a ser-
ious problem., i ; '. ' ; , ,
How many mothers there are who are
worrying about their daughters. Ner
vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetites, bloodless, listless, a constant
anxiety to the mother. How shall sh
solye her problem? To whom shall she
turn for help? Each case Is more or
leiis a study by Itself, and cannot be
solved by any general rule. ' r f .'
, This Is the way one mother solved the
problem, Mrs. Bohopfer, 5W0 Fresco tt
Ave., St. Louis, Mo., In a letter to Dr.
Ilartman, sayst My daughter Alice,
: four years of age, was a puny, sickly,
ailing child since she was born.v 1 was
always doctoring her. When we com
menced to use Peruna she grew strong
and welL" ;.', ' I '
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
Iw T. P. 5, Chlppowa Palls", Wisconsin,
says: "Our little eight-year-old girl
b.ul a bad cough, and was in a general
run-down condition." She had several
doctors, who could give the child no re
lief, and the mother no encouragement."
Finally, she got a bottle of Peruna
and commenced giving it to tnocmia,
hud it proved to be just what she
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried.
Now the mother says she is playing
around all the time. ' ,s.
Her closing words were: "Yon hare
done a great deal for ber. She is the
only girl we have, and it meant lots to
as to have her cured."
These are samplas of many letters
which Dr. Hartman la receiving, com
ing straight from the hearts of loving
mothers. While the different schools
of medicine are bickering and differing
as to theories and remedies, Peruna
goes right steadily on giving permanent
relief. After all, it is cures that the
people want. Theories are dl little
account. ,
