One point the postmaster gen eral wishes emphasized and that is that all packages have to be taken to the postolltce by the sender, and this doesn't mean the numbered substa tions ordinarily found in drug stores, but the regular postodlce stations. The packages will be delivered at their destination In wagons, the deliv eries being ns regular as the present letter service.

Each lo cality makes its own first zone, so it was necessary for tho postolllce de partment to have printed separate maps for each locality. Suppose you are in unit 717 In the first zone and you want to send a package to Buffalo, which Is approximately In unit 1,102, which Is In the second zone. You tuke the package to the postolltce, und the postolllce clerk will place It on the newly constructed scales, first desig nating on the scales that the package Is to go to the second zone. When It Is weighed the scale will give exactly the amount necessary to carry the package to Its destination. The first zone of lifty miles Includes what Is called the local zone. The designate the zone." ' Airhe Tiffs to do is to mark his scale with the zone In dicator and the machine will show the amount of postage.

Among the things that will not be ac cepted for delivery are Intoxicants, ex plosives, intlnmiuablc liquids, live or dead animals, firearms, disease (.eniis. books or printed matter.

All packages containing eggs must be marked "eggs." All fragile articles, such as millinery, toys, musical Instruments, glassware, etc., must be marked "fragile." It is expected that the parcel post will hurt the express companies' busi ness, particularly In short deliveries, on account of the cheap rates of the parcel post.

TYPICAL DIAGRAM INDICATING PARCEL POST ZONES FROM CHICAGO AND SHOWING HOW TO COMPUTE POSTAGE ON PACKAGES. This mnp, made with Chicago as a base, shows how the zone system will be used In arranging rates (or the parcel post service which will be Inaugurated Jan. L Establishing cones by drawing clrclee of different diameters, with each postoffleetas a center, would mean an Impracticable amount of figuring. Instoad of using townships and counties as units or starting points It was decided to divide the whole country Into blocks or units, each block being half a degree In latitude In north-south extension and half a degree of longi tude east and west. There are ,500 of these units In the country. An example of how to get the first sons Is as follows: Find the center of the unit In which your poetofflce Is located. Draw a circle of fifty mites radius around that center. Every unit which lies wholly within that circle or more than hntf of which la within that circle Is Included In the first zone from any postoflice, and the postage rate Is 6 cents for the first pound and 8 cents for each additional pound. The Becond zone Is determined by drawing with the same center a circle of 160 miles radius. Every unit which lies within K, but nulslde of the first cone, Is In the second zone, and the rate Is 0 cents fnr the first pound and 4 cents for each addition al pound. The method by which the second zone Is determined Is used for all other zones, their radii and rate of posing for the first and additional pounds respectively being as follows: Third zone, 800 miles, 7 cents, 5 cents; fourth zone, 000 miles, S cents, 8 cents; fifth zone, 1,000 miles, 8 cents, T cents; sixth zone, 1,400 mtlcB, 1(1 cents, 8 cents; seventh zone. 1,800 miles, 11 cents, 10 cents; eighth zone and all territory farther away, Including the Philippine! and Island possessions, 12 cents flat. For the purpose of carrying this law Into effect the Uuitcd States Is divided into zones, with different rates of postuge applicable to each, as follows: A brilliant woman who has lately been writing on everyday thought for the newspapers voiced one on habit the other day. She says: "An appreciative sense if clmngeableness, of bondage, Is as sociated with the thought of habit. The effect of our educational effort Is to teach that habit, once formed. Is Irre trievable ground. Tho parent the teacher, tho. friend in the Instruction of youth constantly dwell on the dan ger of bad habits and very little, if at all, on the power uf correcting habit." Habit is not Irretrievable ground, but we make a mistake In thinking that tho habit that lias taken years to form can bo broken immediately. Fur example, tho woman who has allowed her self to becomo settled physllcally and mentally, would find It Impossible at once to bring up her mind and her body to alertness nnd enthusiasm. One hears so often even in these days of straight front corsets, "I have such a high abdomen." There Is no more reason for a wo man having a "high abdomen" than thero is for her having a high bridge nose. A "high abdomen" means onlv una uirougn mcioionco ami neglect a woman is standing on her heels In stead of tho balls of her feet, which is contrary to all nature's laws, and men larnws every internal organ out of equilibrium and makes the soft walls of her abdomen carry their weight Instead of tho bony structure which nature lias made for that pur pose. This habit Is one of the most preva lent among women ot comfortable cir cumstances and It is ono of tho hard-1 est lo overcome, simply because it Is due to slothfulncss of tho mind.
