The cold prepares the system for the re ception and development of the pneu monia germ. The longer the cold hangs on, the greater the danger. Take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy as soon as the first indication of a cold appears so as to get rid of it with the least possible delay.

Without the Postal Service, business would languish In n day, and be at a •tandstill In a week. Public opinion would die of dry rot. Sectional hatred or prejudice only would flourish, and narrow-mindedness thrive. It Is the biggest distinctive business In the world and It comes nearer to the Innermost Interests of a greater num ber of men and women than any other Institution on earth. No private busi ness, however widespread, touches so many lives so often or sharply; no church reaches Into so many souls, flutters so many pulses, has so many human beings dependent on its min istrations. “Postal Improvement Week’’ has been set for May 1. by the Postmaster General. This is the first general cam paign of Its kind In tins Postal -Service for several decades. Business men and their organisations, large users of the mall, newspapers, motion pictures, advertisers, and the entire organiza tion of 326,000 postal workers are to be enlisted In tills country-wide campaign of Interest In postal Improvements. Your help is vital. Address your let ters plainly with pen or typewriter. Give street address. Spell out name of State, don’t abbreviate. Put your return address in the upper left hand corner of envelope (not on the back) and always look at your letter before dropping in the mail to see if it is properly addressed. This care in the use of the mails is for your benefit and speeds up the dispatch and delivery of mail matter. If you have any complaints of poor •ervlce make them to your postmaster. He has instructions tc investigate them and report to the department. COURTESY It sticks in human relations like postage stamps on letters. The POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT ex pects it to be used by its postmasters and employees in dealing with the public. Help them in its use beginning with POSTAL IMPROVEMENT WEEK. May 1 6, 1922. THANK YOU WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS YOUR MAIL IS DELAYED AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY The Dead Letter Office has born in existence ever since Ben Franklin started our postal service. Even then people addressed mail to Mr. Ezekiel Smithers, "Atlantic Coast,” and ex pected Ben to know just where Zeke lived. Perhaps they had Zeke's address in letters up in (lie garret, maybe a chest full of ’em, but tlien it was easier to let Ben bunt Zeke. Today people are addressing letters t<> John Smith, New York, N. Y., or Chicago, 111., thinking Uncle Sam can locate him, which is just as incomplete as was Zeke’s ad dress of yore. The Postoffice Depart ment asks you to put the number and street in the address. It helps you. How do you expect tbe Postal Clerk to know whether you mean Trinidad, California, or Trinidad, Colorado? ALWAYS SPBLI. OUT THE NAME OK THE STATE IN FULL IN THE ADDRESS. “MORE BUSINESS IN GOVERNMENT" This apt phrase was used In Presi dent Harding's tlrst message to (’in gress and applies particularly in postal management where postmasters are being Impressed with the fact that they are managers of local branches of the biggest business in the world.

HUMANIZING THE POSTAL SERVICE “There Is no unimportant person or part of our service. It is a total of human units and their co operation is the key to Its success. In its last analysis, postal duties are accommo dation* performed for our neighbors and friends and should be so regarded, rather than aa a hired service per formed fur an absentee employer.”— Pestmaiter General Hubert Werk. ra i# HEALTH ?

SAFEGUARDING THE COMMUNITY (By Detective William J. Bum*) Like the poor, the crook is always with us. The fear of punishment, whether it be the shadow of jail, or even the noose or electric chair, sel dom restrains the individual whose morals are warped or whose resist ance to temptation is weakened by the opportunity to gain by dishonest effort. Indeed, it frequently happens that the man of hitherto spotless reputa tion, when subjected to the urgent pressure of the necessity for funds, loses his grip on himself and com mits theft, robbery or even murder. Take the famous Massachusetts case of Professor Webster, of Har vard, who murdered Parkman, a mat ter of fifty years ago, which is per haps one of the most celebrated criminal cases on record. Webster had led a blameless life up to the time when a sudden temptation to kill Parkman overcame his mental and moral restraint and the results of his act shocked well nigh the entire coun try. It is generally agreed by criminolo gists and those who closely follow the activities of the crooks that the present crime wave is a reflex of the recent great war; as history teaches us this has been true from the days of the Roman wars. This being the greatest war in the world’s history, naturally the crime wave is the great est. I, personally, have never known a time when the crook and the thief were so much in evidence as today. Years ago, in the time of Jesse James and the Dalton boys, the criminals’ greatest opportunity lay in the robbing of,mail trains and the cracking of bank safes, but so many devices for protecting these have since been developed and perfected that the criminal has broadened his field of operations, and cunning in genuity and daring operation have largely taken the place of old-time night safe cracking and railway hold ups. Indeed, it is a matter of almost every day occurrence to read of a bank holdup in broad daylight, while the burglaries and thefts in homes and apartment houses are almost’ too numerous to mention. Laws increasing the degree of punishment for such crimes may tend somewhat to discourage them, at least to a degree, but it is my per sonal opinion that the matter goes far beyond or far back of these con siderations, and criminals are fre quently created because of the lack of restraint, and I might almost say lack of religious teachings and dis cipline during childhood. I am not a pessimist, but I some times wonder whether the opportuni ty for success along honest lines is ■ufficiently brought to the attention of the young men and women of to day by their parents and guardians. While I do not intend to pose as a preacher, I would like to say that if criminal operations of all kinds are in the future to be reduced in num ber, it will be necessary for parents to exercise a much more careful supervision of their children’s educa tion along moral lines. As I have already said, it is in the home that we must first undertake to teach them by precept and example, and unless we succeed in persuading our children in their early years that honesty is not only the best policy, but the most successful and re munerative in the long run, we shall ultimately scarcely be proud of our record as law-abiding citizens. NEGATIVES WIN DEBATES Boys’ High School of Atlanta de feated Gordon in a debate here Sat urday night, the question being, “Resolved, That the Motion Pictures As Now Conducted Are Beneficial to the American People.” H. E. Smith and E. 0. Dobbs, of Gordon, defended the affirmative, while Messrs. Goldstein and Branch, of Boys’ High, represented the nega tive. While all four speakers pre sented strong arguments, that of Cadet Smith was unusually good. However, the judges rendered their decision in favor of the negative. The Gordon team representing the negative, Cadets J. C. Rogers and L. B. Huie, defeated the affirmative team of Emory Academy at Oxford the same night, thereby splitting even the triangular debate. It is understood that the negative team of Emory defeated the affirma tive team of Boys’ High in Atlanta. The result was that the negative side won in each instance, as would seem natural. A fine spirit prevailed in all the debates. Cadets Rogers and Huie report royal treatment at Oxford, and the visitors to Barnesville were likewise given courteous considera tion. - e Expect what you desire.
