The rural free delivery service will be placed under the classified service some time during the winter. This was determined by President Roosevelt mediately after he succeeded the presidency. This is one of the few branches the government service remain- unclassified, and it is destined be one of the most important departments of government's work. There will be no difficulty whatsoever in classifying the rural free delivery clerks Washington and the special tors field. The difficulty comes with the rural carriers. Each of these must bare his own horse must be personally acquainted with the people living along his route.

Some method must be devised to his selection re- of political considerations and to get the best man for the work. That is the prob- which Civil Service must solve.

The population served is estimated to be inhabit- square miles of ten i the average population ed on each route being As a carrier is required for each route, it can be seen that with routes Uncle Sam employs a j this service, which has only begun. it is an interest- fact that the service has caused a large in the amount of mail in the sections covered, so while the cost is not increased much, if any, as compared to the fourth class system the revenue promises to be largely in- creased.

DISEASE. of the Alton Provident Association, succeeds in securing the passage of a law declaring laziness a disease and providing a compulsory cure, she will have solved one of the problems of the ages. She may rightly termed a woman courage, for her experience a practical worker in philanthropic fields should her familiar with immensity of the task she has under taken. Yet there is some in determining the course of reason- that Mrs. followed in deciding that laziness is a disease. The who will not work is, ac- cording to Genesis, striving to gt around a divine injunction decreed that only by the sweat of the brow should eat. But la- is an acquired, not a natural, habit. Still, the better a man is harder will be The worse be is the prone he is to live off the sweat of some one else's brow. Of course, the argument may be made that this nay of look- at the bread and prob is purely a mental point of View. There will be some trouble in making an division of three kinds of men who will not work because they find a job to their liking. And, last of all, but probably to Mrs. Do- mind the most important class of patients, are those who will not work because the world them a living. Mrs proposes to cure the diseases of laziness by labor, preferable in a stone- yard or over a saw buck. This course of treatment is no rest cure and so will probably lie considered unfavorably by afflicted Yet as the medicine scribed by Mrs. will pay for worth of provisions a day for a married family, the end might justify the means. And as laziness is the drains upon charities would be materially reduced. -AT- inn Prices Reduced On All Our Stock of Ala., June Dr. J. C. Sir.
