The Capital Journal believes that a limited parcels post would add io the conveniences of the peopie iivinjr in the country. It also believes that merchants in cities like Salem and other smaller cities would increase their business materially. The parcels post confined to the free rural mail routes and country stapre lines would not open the door to abuses. The big; Eastern mail order houses would have to ship their stuff out by freight, and then remail it on the routes. The granges and fanners' organizations all over the country are asking for the establishment of the parcels post. Merchants and business men who have examined into Ihe matter are not opposing the parcels post in limited form. The bill provides: "That on each and all rural mail delivery routes of the United States, until June 30, 1914, the postmaster at the starting point of such route shall .receive and deliver to the carrier or carriers of said routes all articles, parcels or packages, not prohibited to the mails by law, and falling under the definition of fourth-class matter, and not weghing in excess of 11 pounds, for transportation and delivery on said routes only: and the carrier shall receive at intermediate points on all rural routes such mail matter of the fourth-class for delivery on their respective routes only. "Postage shall be paid on all articles, parcels or packages entitled to transportation under the provisions of this act as matter of the fourth-class on rural mail delivery routes only at the following rates: One cent for each two ounces or less; 2 cents for more than two ounces, but not more than four ounces ; 3 cents for more than four ounces, but not more than 12 ounces ; 6 cent for more than 12 ounces but not more than a pound; 2 cents per pound for each additional pound or fraction thereof up to and including a total of 11 pounds." This would make the maximum charges for a parcel over the rural post 25 cents. WHITHER ARE WE To the poor house or the mad house? "The milk served in this hotel is skimmed milk," Is printed on many bills of fare in Oregon hotels. When we were a boy people were vaccinated once for smallpox and that did for life. Then it was changed to once in seven years. Now they are asking that people bo vaccinated every few years. There is so much regulation of the dairy industry no one will go into the business, and many are going out. "Skimmed milk" on hotel menu cards makes Oregon the laugh ing stock of the world. There is no inspection of adulterated whiskey, cigars stuffed with gutter pickings, false hair worn by women, padded forms or canned salmon. According to the State Dairy Commission, milk is the only deadly drink. According to the State Board of Health, the only cup that is loaded with death is the public drinking cup. Some of these same officials sit down to public banquets and start in with the race-destroying cocktail, and wind up with delirium-producing champagne, but the people must be saved from milk and water.

I I ' 'S VIRTUE IS ITS own Hon. W. 0. Darts, of the Frank fort bar, in responding to the toast, The Court of Appeals," made a very witty speech, which Is printed in the West Publishing Co.'a Docket, a lawyer's Journal. In concluding, be said. 'In conclusion, if it would not be Cvuoiuefnl preaurapiious, 1 would say to the court of appeals: Grind on, and though like the mills of the gods, you grind exceedingly small, yet grind with exactness for all, with the serene consciousness of duty done, and of that assurance, which comes as the result of the experience of the ages, that "virtue is its own reward." Though I regret that I cannot promise that reward as full and speedy as the small boy gave to his hero. The teacher offered a re ward of $1 in gold to the pupil who would write the best story of 100 words on the subject "Virtue Is Its own reward," to be written without assistance, and read without revision. Here is the story that knocked the persimmon: "'Virtue Is IU Own Reward. "'A poor young man fell in love with the daughter of a rich lady who kept a candy shop. The poor young man could not marry the rich candy lady's daughter, because be had not money to buy furniture. A wicked man offered to give the young man J2 If he would become a drunkard. The young man wanted the money very much, so he couid marry the rich candy-lady's daughter, but when he got to the saloon, he turned to the wicked man and said: 'I will not become a drunkard, een for great riches. Get thee behind me, Satan.' And as he turned around to go home, he saw lying on the sidewalk a pock etbook containing a million dollars In gold. Then the young lady con sented to marry him. They had a beautiful wedding and the next day had twins. Thus you see that 'Vir tue Is Its own reward."'. HEADLESS CORPSES LIXE PEKI5 STKEETS Iximlon, March 12.

"I suffered a com plete break down Id health, soma time ago." writes Mr. A. McOlll, from this place, "I was very weak and could sot do any work. I tried different remedies, bat they did me no good. Out day, I got a bottle of Cardul. It did m so much good, I waa surprised, and took soma mora. Before I took Cardul, I had headache and backache, and sometimes I would cry for hours. Now I am over all that, nd can do all kinds of housework. I think It Is tha greatast medicine on arm." In tha past fifty years, thousands of ladles hare written, like Mrs. McOlll, to tell of the beneOt received front Cardul. Such testimony, from earneet women, surely Indicates the great value of this tonlo remedy, for diseases peculiar to women. Are you a sufferer Yea? Cardul is the medicine you need.

If Seattle citi zens fall to see brilliantly-colored rats scampering over the bills, It will not be because such unusual specimens do not exist, for the health department yesterday liberated In different parts of the city 25 dyed rodents for purposes of identification. There are red rats, green rata, yel low rats and blue rata and each rat has a price of f 2 on lu head, wheth er captured alive or dead. The pur pose of the health department la to trace the drift of the rodent popula tion as It migrates from one section of the city to another. "At this time of the year, rats leave the waterfront, where the" ro dents stay during the winter months, and make their way to the hills and residence portions of the city," said Health Commissioner Crlchton. "Another purpose In turning these' varl-colored rodenta adrift is to find out to what extent the different spec-1 lea Intermingle," he said. "Seattle probably has fewer rata than any other city of its size in the world. This Is very fortunate, for govern ment statistics show the rat to be more destructive than ail other spec imens of the rodent family com bined." Reul Eiilute Transactions. F. and L. Rock to D.
