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. Canker sore itself
doesn't sound so bad. but great
remedies are not always as bad
as they sound!
