OUR NEW POSTOFFICE

Beit Equipped One in West Side
Counties.
Postmaster C. O- Coad informs us
this morning that i( nothing happens,
he will be able to move into hi* new
quarters by next Monday probably
Saturday night. Under bis supervision
we looked over the room, ami alter in
s p e c t i o n cannot blame him and his ef
ficient force for the pride which they
feel in soon being able to work in hucii
convenient and commodious a building.
There will lie 500 boxes altogether, all
on the left hand as you enter, and 100
of them being of the latest combination
lock pattern. They are of metal, and
all you have to do is to know vour
combination, the carrying of a key be
ing altogether done away with. The
trunt of the brick lias two large plate
glaps windows and double doors and on
entering you find yourself in a large lob-
by dtt feel wide and about half of it -Id
fe,*t long, excepting the space taken up
by the distributing department. Back
of this is a large room fortlie sorting
of mail and the clerical work. The rur
al route carriers will receive and take
out their mail from the side door on the
allev, ami will not interfere in any wav
with patrons of the lobby. They will
also be especially well fixed for sorting
their mail and have abundant room.
The office will he heated bv steam, have
plenty of electric lights, city water, toi
let and other conveniences. There are
two delivery windows. Tile two in
front will now lie used for mail distribu
tion and money order business, but in
the future, when the town grows a lit
tle more and additional help is secured
Postmaster Coad will use the one at the
end of the lobby for money order and
postal business and have stamp and de
livery widows at the front. The inte
rior finish and decorations are superb,
ami is the work of those skilled artists,
Holman A Dungan. They have surely
done a nice job and nuide our postoflice
a credit to a town of three times its
size. Well may Mr. R. E. Williams,
the owner of the brick, lie proud of hi*
accomplishment, and the business hous
es he has built up on Court street.

It is economical becausejit can be quickly turned off when not
needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light
bum , when not needed, to save bother of lighting and adjusting.
In some homes the electric light hill amounts to only about $2 per
month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less
money than electric light, but does it save you anything when it
limits opportunities for work and recreation, ruins your eyesight,
smokes your walls, mars decorations and increases household work.
You cau probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your
meals, but it wouldn't be economy. It is not so much what you
save, but how you save, that counts. We arc always ready to ex
plain the “ ins and outs" of the lighting proposition to you. Call
on us or phone to us. We are never too busy to talk business.

Health it Worth Saving and Some
Dallas People Know How to Save it.
Many Dallas people take their lives in
their own bands by neglecting the kid
neys when they know these organs need
help. Sick kidneys are res|sinsible for

but there is no nets I to suffer nor to re
main in danger when all diseases and
aches ami pains due to weak kidneys
can lie quickly and permanently cured
by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. The
following statement leaves no ground
or botibt.
O. 'V. Vaughn, .1 .State Street, Salem,

proven in our family to be a reliable
remedy for backache and all forms of
kidney complaint. I obtain the best of
results from their use and our child,
