10 THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18. 1912 UOYM mm tmmFBR AddsHealthfulOualifiesiofeftiO!! Pro Prescott, of the University of Michigan, testified before the Pure Food Committee of Congress, that the acid of grapes held highest rank as an article of food and he regarded the re sults from baking with cream of tartai baking powder as favorable to health. Royal is the only Baking Powder made from Royal Crape Cream of Tartar, PROF. LAWRENCE GETSWRITTEN UP Addison Bennett of the Oregoniau, who dropped into town looking for ma terial, selected Professor Lawrence, county fruit inspector and pathologist, as his subject and in Sunday's Ore gon lan appeared an interesting article describing Professor Lawrence's work in the valley. A couple of brief ex cerpts follow: In appearance Professor Lawrence is a manly man. lie has the look of a student, while his calloused hands and sunburned face indicates that he spends much time outdoors and at real labor. He is an enthusiast when it conies to talking about orchards and the fruit thereof. He evidently knows his business from the ground up, and if the Hood River people had searched the world over they perhaps could not have found a man who would or could have given better service than has Professor Lawrence. And it is alto gether likely that he will remain in that valley In the employ of the public for many years to come, or as long as he chooses to remain. Professor Lawrence is still a young man, his advent into the world dating from 187l. his birthplace being Lake City, Iowa. He has a wife and one child, a boy about two and one-half years old. f Another branch of experimentation that has taken up much of Professor Lawrence's attention is that of cover crops for the orchards. There is per haps no branch of the orchard busi ness of more Importance or less under stood than this. The professor has during the last two years had under in vestigation the growing and plowing under of more than 300 varieties of soil covers, and has finally concluded that these ten are the leaders, their value being in the order given: Alfal fa, burr, clover, red clover, hairy or winter vetch, horse beans, sow beans, field peas, rye, oats and wheat and lupine. Sunday School Teacher-And what should we do after breaking a commandment. POSTMASTER GIVES ADVICE TO PATRONS To the Public: To the end that a better understanding of the laws and rules governing postal matters may be had and for the betterment of the ser vice generally, I wish to make these statements: First as to city service: All mail should be properly address ed to street or box number. Io not expect the clerks to be able to guess where your mail should go or it may not go there. As to city carrier service, a suitable receptacle should be provided for your mails. I'nder the rules governing carriers I will say that no carrier will be re quired to serve a house standing more than 50 feet from the sidewalk or to climb more than 14 steps in making a delivery. Carriers have been accommodating in this matter, but are not ren.uired.to be so hereafter. Second as to Rural Delivery: Hy all means have mail properly ad dressed to route and box number, thereby accommodating yourselves and doing the greatest possible favor to the clerks as they have uo time or business to stop their work and leave other people's mail undistributed in order to figure out iu some kind of manner where you are. If your mail comes addressed to "John Brown, Hood River, Oregon," It may be for the John Brown on some other route or In the city delivery on a city carrier' route. Fully 50 per cent of the mall com ing to this olllce is incorrectly ad dressed. Remember that if we do not know where you are or if your mail is not properly addressed we are justified In placing it in general delivery, subject to your personal call. We are not required to guess the whereabouts of any individual. When you change from one route to another or to another postotl.ie advise the pub lishers of your newspapers of the fact as it will cost you little money or exer tion but will save the clerks a world of trouble and will Insure the prompt delivery of your mail. Cenerally, I wish to say, that it is the wish and aim of all employees to send your mail along as fast as pos sible and to do this as accurately as may be, but we need your aid in this matter and where wrong or insuffi cient addresses are used we refuse to bear the blame for delays and failures to deliver. I have "kept cases" and have found that where complaints have been made as a rule they are traceable to some other source than in the office. Any fair person will admit that er rors are made in the postodice, we do not deny that, but we do say that considering what we have to deal with especially at the beginning of each mouth when several thousand of monthly statements are dumped on us, very many Incorrectly addressed, there are mixups and delays, but even then more properly chargeable to others Remember too, that "the stork" leaves uo directory, so do not expect the office to know the names and ad dresses of all the kiddles in the coun try.
