People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
It takes off dirt. So far,
so good, but what else does
it do.
It cuts the skin and frets
the und r-skin; makes red
ness and roughness and
leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears' Soap has no f see, ol
kali in it. It neither reddens
nor roughens the skin. It re
sponds to water i.istantly; wash
esand rinses off in a twinkling; is
as gentle as strong; and the
after-effect is every way good.

CHIPPUNO RURAL DELIVERY.
-
There, I" a belief In the west that
.recent ruling or th postofflcs depart
ment will seriously cripple th ruml
fre delivery of malls, Th rul
ing Is to the ffect that no free-delivery
rout shall be continued Uldeas 100 fam
lUcs are served and 1,000 places of mall
matter are handled monthly. Under
thla rutin it Is said, W per cent ot th
route In Nebraska, Minnesota, low
and Mm Dakota will Xm discontinued,
says th Chicago. Inter-Ocean.
Titer may hav been too rapid eten
slon of the free-delivery service in
minie of th state. Muny of the
route may fall below th standard con
toiitplalod under th law under which
I hey were established and titer nmy
have been recHicsa expenditure In ex
tending 'he system. Hut It is undo
ntabU tluu th extension of th free-
delivery service has been of greta ben
cllt to our rural population.
It lis been more than a convenience
mid hits don much to reconcile the
hoys mi l girls to farm life, Taken In
connection with th farm telephone
and the electric railroad, th rural fre
delivery ot malls has given a nw at
mosphere to country life And no gov
ermeittal policy haa been mor popular
In the west than that under which
liberal expenditure hav been made
to give ;h farmer fre delivery of
mull. .
Therefor necessary changes In th
system should be mad with great wr
An arbitrary ruling that would sus
pend W per rent of the rural free-delivery
mull route would creut great
dlssatisfa.'tion and would be manifestly
unjust. It I not a question of wheth
er or not too much money has been
s"iit on th routes. When free-dllv-eiy
w.ts extended In cities th con
venient of the peopl was th consld
ration. '
At first the free-delivery system In
the cltl's did not pay. but It was not
suspended on that account. It was not
expected that the rural free-delivery
system would pay at first. It was not
adopted with that Idrn. In mind. It
was organized In answer to a demand
from the farmers that they be treated
us f ilrly a the residents of a city. The
demand was a reasonable one, but It
offer no excuse for the establishment
u( a route for only a few people. '
There nu.y be auch route In oin-ra
tlon, but It may be taken for granted
Unit In a mujority of cases the route
established for the convenience of the
ordluury fanning neighborhood are
dearly within ijie provisions of the
rural free-delivery lit ard are of in
creasing benefit to the people served.
All of these routes were established
under Instruction of the Poat office De
partmvnt and postmaster Interested
in their neighborhoods compllud with
the direction given. It would be un
fair to nil parlies concerned to. discon
tinue these routes except for th best of
reasons.
