Parcel Pott a Law.
Parcel post is ' now a law! It
goes into effect throughout the
United States on New Year's day,
1813. We believe Farm and Home
started the demand for this reform
nearly 30 years ago. It has been
ably championed by many others.
Congress has finally granted the
public's demand. The far reach,
changes that will be stimulated by
this new law are editorially set
i'or;h in the September 15 number
of the national semi monthly,
Farm and Home, as follows:
1. Farmers will sell produce
direct to consumers, mailing it
fresh from the farm daily, or as
often as necessary. This is going
to benefit both producers and con
sumers, affording the farmer a bet
ter market and better profits, while
giving consumers better food at
lower prices than they now pay
their retail store.
2. The transportation of small
packages within the territory of
each local post office, in country or
city, will be done mainly by parcel
post. This will prove a great con
venience to the public, and will
promote the business of local
merchants and retailers.
3. The country store will under
go great changes. Their old slip
shod, careless ways of doing busi
ness must give way to the new,
progressive, up-to-date methods es
sential to make the country store
the center of a more perfect distri
bution for what the people require.
4. Post roads are to be greatly
improved. Good roads will
gradually become the rule instead
of the exception. This will vastly
benefit all rural property, stimulate
better farming, increase produc
tion, reduce expense of transporta
tion, and thus tend to keep down
the increasing cost of living.
r. The motor post coach is hound
to come throughout the dated'
States. It is already common in
some parts of Europe. Here it
will collect and carry parcels,
passengers and mail. It will supply
torural towns rapid transit com.
parable to the accommodation
supplied to citieH by electric street
railways.
ii. Business by post is to witness
a well nigh immeasurable ex
pansion. In due time the law will
provide for collection on delivery
of parcels, insurance and other
conveniences.
7. A. universal system must le
provided for postal currency, also
post checks which can le drawn
for any amount and collected with
out expense, thus profoundly in
creasing the convenience tor ex
change of values and products.
8. Eventually the postoflice de
partment will take over the ex press
companies The railroads will
continue to I owned as at present,
but under a more perfect super vi
mod, which will make their bus,
i less safer and prolitable, and more
greatly convenience the whole
public.
9. These and other changes will
so improve rural life as to attract
people from city to country, thus
profoundly improving social condi
tions, while promoting economic
prosperity.
10. Along with all these good
things, let us have a method of
cooperative finance that shall
furnish farmers and ordinary work
ere with banking conveniences.

Jesus would have no time to Hint

the Divine service, in feedim,- the sheep

And Is uot this true today? Tin

Jesus and the Apostles declared it i

went a long Journey from home with

The disciples urged that the people t

them to eat." But they declared thev
had nothing wherewith to feed so
many, and that If even they should go
to purchase It would cost much.
Finally they found live loaves ami
two fishes By Jesus direction they
seated the multitudes in companies on
the grass, and the loaves and fishes
under heavenly ulessnu:. were divided
again and again, and all ate to their
satisfaction. and the fragment
amounted to twelve baskets, while

WHAT SAVED
JIER LIFE
Mrs. Martin Tells About a Painful
Experience that Might Have
Ended Seriously. .
RIvesville, W. Va. Mrs. Dora Martin,
In a letter from Rivesville, writes:
Tor three years, I suffered with wo
manly troubles, and had pains in my
back and side. I was nervous and
could not sleep at night
The doctor could not help me. He
said I would have to be operated on be
fore I could get better. I thought I
would try using Cardui.
Now, I am entirely well.
I am sure Cardui saved "toy life. I
will never be without Cardui in my
home. I recommend it to my friends."
For fifty years, Cardui has been re
lieving pain and distres caused by wo
manly trouble. It will urely help yon.
It goes to the spot reaches the
trouble relieves the symptoms, and
drives away the cause.
If you suffer from any symptoms of
womanly trouble, take Cardui.
