WASHINGTON. June 9. About
the last of this month Uncle Sam
will begin putting up the first of
several thousand new design letter
boxes all. over the country. The
box design Is the Joint product of
the Post Office Department in
Washington and the Art Commis
sion of New York. While the design
for the front was accepted by the
Post Office Department, the design
for the ends is still subject to some
modifications, the. design for the
whole being termed somewhat con
ventlonal by the Post Office off!
clals. The preparation for a design
for the new boxes was taken up
by the Art Commission 1n April,
1914. It was at first proposed to
mount the boxes on pedestals, bu
this was disapproved by the Com
mission and the conclusion was
reached to affix them to electric light
poles. The Edison Company of New
York offered a design, but it was
so ornate that the Post Office Do
'partment declined, on economical
grounds, to consider It. The Art
Commission then asked that the
IPost Of Ice Department appoint a
committee to confer with the com
mlBslon regarding a design for the
box, and this was done. There were
frequent conferences, with the re
sult that Charles Kech, a sculptor
was commissioned to make a design
Upon suggestions made by J. A. Ed-
gorton, purchasing agent for the
Post Office Department, Mr. Kech
made a model of the proposed letter
box and It was the subject of several
long conferences. Mr. Kech's de
sign provides for a box of regulation
size and shape. The front bears on
the upper curve the word "Letters
and at the bottom "U. S. Mall". The
handlebar and letters Bllde ere aim
liar to those on the boxes now In use,
DRINK HOT
BEFORE BR
EVERY I
WATER
WAST
HRftlG
Hopes every man and woman 4 here will adopt
this splendid health habit.
Says a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of
- limestone phosphate in it washes poisons
from system, and makes one feel '
clean, sweet and fresh.
"Wliy is man and woninn, half
the time, fooling nervous, despon
dent, worried; some days head
achy, dull and unstrung; some
days really incapacitated by ill
ness. If we all would practice the
drinking of phosphated hot water
before breakfast, what a gratify
ing change would take place. In
stead of thousands of half -sick,
nnaeniie-looking souls wVth pasty,
muddy complexions we should see
crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
cheeked people everywhere. The
reason is that the human system
does iot rid itself each day of all
the waste it accumulates under
our present mode of living. For
every ounce of food and drink
taken into the system nearly an
ounce of waste material must bo
carried out, else it ferments and
forms ptomaine-like poisons in
A! he IkwoIs which arc absorbed
into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to
clean the ashes from the furnace
each day, before the tire will burn
bright and hot, so we must each
morning clear the inside organs
of the previous day's accumula
tion of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women,
whether sick or well, are advised'
to drink each morning, before
breakfast, a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it, as'a harm
doss means of washing out of
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and puri
fy ing the entire alimentary canal
before putting more foodinto tlio
stomach.
Millions of people who htid
their turn at constipation, bilious
attacks, acid stomach, sick head
aches, rheumatism, lumbago,
nervous days and sleepless nights
have become real cranks about
the morning-inside bath. A
tpiarter pound of limestone phos
phate will not cost much at the
drug store, but is sufficient to
demonstrate to anyone its cleans
ing sweetening and freshening
effect upon the system.
but care was taken to provide more
effective action. The design for the
slides was an American eagle with
wide spreading wings but without
feathers, this being practically im
possible In ipressed steel, of wblch
the boxes are to be constructed.
The design for the front of the
boxes proved acceptable, but the
eagle was deemed rather convention
al, despite the contention of the Art
Commissioners, among whom were
Mayor Mitchell,. Robert W. de For
est, president of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, and John Qulncy
Adams, assistant secretary, that the
design was highly artistic and should
be adopted. The Post Office Depart
ment subsequently prepared a sub
stitute design for the ends show
ing a shield with the letters "U. S."
and a wing above it. The Art Com
missioners disapproved of the sub
stitute design, and Mr. Kech went
to Washington and urged the ac
ceptance of the eagle design.
The new boxes, of which several
hundred thousand are to be placed in
all cities of the' country, will cost
approximately $6 each.
Dr. Hoover was called to Looking
Glass on professional business this
