COrNTKItrKIT KCOVO.MV Formerly the I'nltod States post off ie used suing to lie Up hun dhs of lot tors. Then, nbout the time the blight of Yankee pinch peiiny economy befell tho nation. some one c o n-eoivi-d tho happy thought of saving maybe as much as a dollar every year for the gov ernment by sub stituting for the (wine a kind of s h o tl tl y string that on one else would use for a ny pnrposo and I horoforo came dirt cheap; The shoddy stuff the posloniee has used, wllh a venuearice, over since. Mow much their saving amounts lo by litis lime, I don't care to know, but whatever ilie sum may be 1 should be gknl lo tell the government of a way in vhich the same or a greater sum might be saved without taxing the pa t ienee a ad good nat u re of any saint and without working any In jury to the health of government employes. Since the adoption of this string as a substitute for real twine in the postofl'ice, one thing has been noticeable post offices tire gener ally dirtier places than they with in the days when the government could afford real twine. I dare say another thinn would be evi dent if we could have the nffleial data if this riltli and dust ereater by the shoddy string doesn't give rise to a greatly increased preva lence df nose, throat and bronchial diseases among all who are em ployed in ptistal work, I'll under take io eat the rim off my felt hal. For a long time I have been frying lo eon curt a good, original plot for a corking murder mystery ;'tory. I can ibinl; of innumerable arliMic and novel ways to commit murder, hut the trick is to make the thing interesting. I havo about concluded that the only way to work the problem out will he by actual performance. And lately I have been sort of wailing for that annual meeting of ihe well, the people who sit and listen to the budget chief telling of tho Ingeni ous devices oe and his accomplices havo employed for saving money for the grand old public. I have it vaguely in mind to conceal my self in the wings and when tlu man pulls his annual joke about the cash saved on siring for the postoffjee, I'll do it. 1 dare say tho postal Clerks' association will lender mo a banquet." Seriously, there is no doubt that the dust this shoddy siring loaves about the floors and over all sur faces in tho postoffiees ,1s an irri tant or at least likely to lull uni tize the breathing passages and so to open the way for any bacterial infections lo which ihe victims may be exposed ,inl post office people serving the public are cer taJnly exposed to whatever tho public has. Now t hat Yankee pi noli penny economy is no longer the groat ideal of our government and peo ple, this being an era of pros perity. I take this means of bring ing to Ihe attention of the post office authorities the desirability of cleaning up tho dust and Issu ing genuine twine for use In lying up the mall.

Your remarks on canker sores reminded me of an empirical rem- : edy I hit on when I was a hoy and which always seemed to work.. When one of those sores appeared' nn my tongue or cheek, i simply rubbed it with the business end : of a common match. Sometimes' I used two or three matches, in a thorough application. This usually brought prompt relief, and tho speedy disappearance of the sore. I bad one of those canker sores a few weeks ago. tho first for , years, and the old remedy faMed me for "the first time. Safety matches will not do tho trick. So I procured parlor matches, and found them effective. j. p. r. Answer.

Worso than that the ha by i i h t ha t i-hould male o their adventurous Journey down stream and to the sea, tiud the ladders ndapu-d onlv to one-way traffic. The result Is that any stream, barriered by dams, must lose not only the wil derness iniality. which is part of its attract Ion for the sportsman, but finally lose the fish, which are the sport itself. To trade the present advantages of the Kogue for a doubtful de velopment that would only benefit neighbors, would be to carry gen erosity too far. .Meantime, thn power of the Kogue is well used to turn ihe tide of tourist travel into Oregon.
