DUTIES OF SPECIAL OFFICER
AT POSTOFFICE ARE MANIFOLD
Talr woman, without a protector she
! lost: or better, she lsea hr valua
bles. Woman's rights may be all right
but she ha no right to think she can
get along without numerous guardians
over her personal property.
This Is the conviction of Special. Of
ficer George Seaton who from 10 o'clock
In the morning until 8 o'olock at night
watches over the welfare of the people
who crowd Into the postoffles lobby. In
proof of his belief he exhibits to the
serious questioner a. collection consist
ing of one set of false teeth, one $18
hat, one expensive fur boa (worn around
the neck), one lady's ehoe, Innumerable
purses, and an uncounted variety of
other things. This is the collection of
two years. Officer Seaton thinks that.
If he remains two years longer he will
need a large siaed building for storage.
"Such questions they ask me." ex
claimed the officer mournfully yester
day evening while telling of the peculiar
responsibility Involved In keeping peo
ple from all nations set right as to
stamps, Tflnncy orders, registered letters
and a million other things. "Where is
my husband," says one of them to me
ti. i:h. r day. "How can I tell?" I an
swf r "But lie wa- in here last week,
a tall man with yellow hair and blue
cvfs. Don't you keep the names and
r-'ilrt everybody that comes,".:
she complains. i
And tlH'V don't seem to think It
would be a good Idea to tie their shop
ping bags to them, or train a little dog
to carry them. Nearly every woman
who stops to address a Dostal card lays
her bag down, on the writing shelf.
Thin she Starrs away with a pleased
smile, thinking about the message she's
sent, and coming back a few minutes
later with the smile out of sight to
ask who has taken her property. Some
times 1 catch sight of them In time to
run after tnetn and give mem bacK
their belongings. But I'm kind of afratd
to do that since I tried to restore
Dooketbook to ihe wrong woman, and
she accused me of wanting to flirt with
her me an old married man that's for
gotten all about such youthful foolish
ness."
Here they come. Hindus. Chinese,
Japanese; the blue eyed sons of Norway
and th6 black-eyed daughters of Italy.
The observer who stands within ' the
postofflce door and watches the never
ceasing stream of- humanity first feels
the wonder that there should be in one
city so many kinds and appearances of
people, then he begins to take an inter
est In their multi-personality.

policeman on the corner, then, Inside,
hesitates nnd looks doubtful. At this
psychological moment, the special offi
cer makes himself useful. "It Is a
money order or a registered letter or
some Information?" he axks considerate
ly. "No, It Is only to know whether f
should mil this letter for New York In
the Pacific coast slot, and. If you please,
how long will It be before dear
sweetheart will get this letter If It goes
very quick and Is delivered without
slowness ?"
It sounds strange In a story, but the
officer answers all the questions. If
the old woman, who has been looking
for a letter from her boy for many
days, weeps because th letter does not
come, he Is sympathetic, and she goes
away blessing his kindness and feeling
sure that tomorrow her hopes will be
realized. Perhaps the same old woman
nas trouble, with her eanty strength
to swing open the big door, so he does
tnat Tor ner, and helps tier down the
steps, too Then he turns around to
run wildly after the abuent minded
woman4 who left her bftby sitting on the
writing sneir wnlle she went on down
town. Then he gives his attention to
the Important tssk of informing some
slant-eyed celestial that he really
should put some sort of an English ad
dress on letters Intended for his
friends, that Americans hare much
trouble deciphering writing that looks
like a large collection of the different
varieties of skull and crossbones. And
every evening there are the little tots
that have lost their way and must get
baok to mamma at once, and follow the
more serious duty of restraining flir
tations. Thus the multitude of human kind
come and go, each bearing his or her
load of pleasure or pain, each personal
ity a little world of Individual thought,
ambition and purpose nil asking ques
tions, foolish and wise, and strangely
enough the kindly officer answers them
all and seems to enjoy doing It.
OLD WATER SYSTEM STILL
DOES GOOD SERVICE IN CITY
Supplying rure water for the past 45
years to the people who live In what
Is known as King's Heights and now In
as good -condition as the day it was In
stalled, Is the record of one of the old
est water svstems of Portland, which Is
located at the corner of lilst and lay-
lnr Ktre.Atfl.
The reservoir, which supplies the one
main extending down 'Jlst street, is
built of cement and contains about 10
feet of water as clear as crystal. When
it was first built the water system was
fed by a spring no bigger than a wash
tub, but as the demand for the water
grew the reservonr grew with it and is
now about BO feet square. The location
is admirable, the mouth of a small
draw, and the pprlngs that now feed It
flow from solid roLk.
N A. King, who is president of the
King estate from which King's Heights
derived its name, tells of helping build
the first reservoir and laying the flr'Ht
main when he was a boy not yet In his
teens. The first supply of water was
brought through a two Inch Iron pipe

Why Is Fat
Is It because one Is born with the ten
dency? Or Is it one of "life's trials,'
or is It due to Just plain, hearty ppe
tite? The doctors say not any one of
these phrases the question correctly.
They say fat IS because the fat per
son's digestive organs are defective.
Such organs, It seems, don't change the
fatty foods eaten by stout persons Into
heat and energy, as they should. . In
stead the food fats pass on Into the
system unconsumed. Hence, fat layers
accumulate under the skin In quiet
sfrots, .such as the chin, abdomen, shoul
der blades, etc.
I,et that digestive defect be corrected
and the formerly fat person goes back
to his or her orlgtaaj shape. You can
prove this on yourself. Seventy-five
cents will secure from your druggist
one of the large cases of Marmola Pre
scription. Tablets recently licensed for
sale by the Marmola Company. Dept
66U, Detroit. Mich. Take one of these
tablets after each meal and at bedtime
and the demonstration starts right
there. Very soon you will experience a
new sense of digestive comfort and a
delightful feeling of increased energy
which should be followed in due season
by a gradual, uniform decrease oi your
fat.
Durlnc the demonstration period you
eat and drink as formerljs; remember.
The tablets need no help from either
dieting or exercising, nevertheless the
dally, loss should approximate 10 to IS
ounces a day.
Now. WHY ts It you get tninr wny
Is It the fat just seems to slip away.

wrlnkleless? Simply because Marmola
corrects that digestive defect, thereby,
slopping further fat accumulation and
enabling, the body forces to harmlessly
dissolve what has. already gathered.
