POSTMASTER IS ANXIOUS TO STOP LOOSE M AILING SAYS LACK OF COOPERA TION DELAYS TRANSMIS SION OF MANY LETTERS Should Have Street Number on Letters Too Many Get Letters for the Clerks to Become Familiar With Them All—New Rules Regard ing Parcel Post. "Patrons of the Twin Falls postol fice are very careless about having their mail addressed to their street and residence number, post office box, or business address," said Postmaster M. A. Stronk yesterday. "Owing to the effect that there are several em ployes in the local postoffice who have not been in the service a great while and are not acquainted with the city it is necessary to give a great many of these letters directory service This lot of extra work in the of means a flee and a delay for the patron receiv ing tiie mail, "Business firms should invariably have their box number or street ad dress printed on their envelopes and letter heads. Persons writing letters and postal cards should always place their complete return address on eacli piece of matter mailed. "It may be possible for postal clerks to familiarize themselves with the address of all patrons of an office having only two or three hundred pa trons but it is an impossibility In an office having IS thousand. "Business firms and all other pa trons are requested to post their mail as early in the day as possible. A great many firms hold all their mail for posting until about 5:20 p. m. That is the busiest time in the local office and quite frequently it is not pos sible to dispatch ail the mail that the senders expect to be dispatched on the evening train. If every patron will assist by posting his mail in the day it will make the work much lighter on the employes and enable us to give better service to the public. "For the convenience of those send ing packages, 1 wish that you would give ns much publicity as possible to the following notice from Postmaster General A. S- Burleson : " 'Section 45G, Postal Laws and Reg ulations is amended by the addition of the following as paragraphs . and S,, effective December 1. 1917; " '7- Upon every parcel or package transported from one point in the Uni ted States to another by parcel post which the postage amounts to -a ■cuts or more, there shall be pant a on tax of one cent for each 25 cents or fractional part thereof charged for sfleh transportation, to lie paid by the consignor. No such parcel or pack age shall he transported until a stamp stamps representing the tax due shall have been affixed thereto. (Act of October 3, 1917, Section 807, Para graph 14). "'8. The tax on fourth-class matter referred to in the preceding para graph is not applicable to parcels on which the postage amounts to less than 25 cents. On a parcel subject to 25 cents postage the tax Is one cent; on parcels on which the postage is from 25 to 50 cents, the tax is two cents, and so on. Parcels shall not he accepted for mailing unless both the required nostage and tax are ful ly prepaid- Special internal revenue stamps shall be used to pav the tax; postage stamps are not valid for this The failure of any post or purpose. master to observe the foregoing shall be reported to the Third Assistant Postmaster General, Division of Clas sification.' "The internal revenue stamps fixed to parcels in payment of the tnx must be cancelled by the sender plac ing. or causing to be placed, thereon his vvritten or stamped initials to gether with the date upon which the stamps are attached or used, in no case however, should the sender can cel postage stamps affixed to par cels; such stamps must be cancelled only by postage employes. "Internal revenue stamps for use in paying such tax will be supplied to postmasters in due course for sale to the public." I ast year Postmaster Stronk, in an interview in the TIMES urgently re quested the co-operation of the peo ple in expediting the handling of their mail, and renews the admonition as he says many are getting careless again. a r - HtMT YOU CAN SATE FOOD. The following genera! plan as out lined by Mr. Herbert Hoover was adopted October 2, 1917, at the meet ing of the State Executive Committee, called by Mr. R. F. Bicknell, food ad ministrator for Idaho: Our problem is to feed our allies this winter by sending them as much food as we can of the most concen trated nutritive value in the least shipping space. These foods are beef, wheat, pork, dairy products and sug ar.. Our solution is to to eat. less of these and more of other foods of which we have an abundance, and to waste less of all foods. Bread—Serve bread or rolls made from corn, rye or mixed flours Use breakfast food and hot cakes of corn, oatmeal, buckwheat, rice or hominy Under European plan, give individual service of bread and butter of uni frora weight, rolls, or slices to weigh not more than one and one-half ounc. es. Serve absolutely no toast as gar niture or under meat,, etc. Serve war bread. Do not serve bread and but ter before the first course Peonl» eat them without thought. Serve no white bread on Wednesdays. Reduce use of crackers. Meat—Serve no meats of any kind on Tuesdays. Use more chicken, fish, hare, rab bit. duck, goose, lobster, oysters, sea foods, clams and egg dishes of all kinds. Use less beef, mutton and pork. Serve smaller portions of all these. Have fewer of these items on the menu. If you must include one of the three, use mutton in preference In beef or pork. Serve "per personi portion of these meats, of moderate | size, and charge accordingly. War | portions at reduced prices may be j served. Provide more entrees hnd ■ made dishes. Beans are more useful | as they contain nearly the same nu tritive values as meat. Serve bacon only as a dish, not as a garniture. Serve no meat of any kind on Tues days. and institute wheatless and meatless or other days as far as pos sible. Milk—Use it all. Economize on the milk and cream, except for children. Serve buttermilk. Serve cottage cheese regularly in varying forms; it is especially nutritious. Use skim med milk in cooking. A great quan tity of it goes to waste in the country. Use cheese generally. The children must have whole milk, therefore, re duce use of cream. Pats—Serve as few filled dishes as possible so as to save both butter and lard and in any event use vegetable oils for frying, that is, olive oil, cot ton seed oil, vegetable oil compounds, etc. They are equally good. Serve all butter in standard pats for guests and employes. A butter pat machine promotes economy. Trim all coarse fats from meats before cooking and sell the waste fats to the soap mak er, thereby increasing supply of soap and glycerine. We are short of soap fats, as our supplies of tropical oils for soap making are much reduced. Do not waste soap. Sugar—Use less candy and sweet drinks. Use honey, maple syrup, mo lasses, and dark syrups with cakes and waffles, in order to save butter and sugar. Use also all the classes of fruit preserves, jams, mar malades and jellies. Use brown sug ar in cooking and economize by the use of granulated sugar on the table. Do not frost or ice cakes unnecessar ily. Use honey for sweetening pastry and cakes when possible. Vegetables — Use more vegetables and potatoes. Make fruits and vege tables into salads and attracti'. e dish es. Feature vegetable dinners and vegetable salads of all kinds. En courage the use of cheese with salads. We have a great surplus of vegetables and they can he used by substituting! them for staples so the staples most needed will be saved. hot Large school fair, program and box soc j al at t i, c poplar Hill school house 'piiurstltiy afternoon and night, indi cated that a letlel . might we ll be j nger ( e( i [ n t| )e first part of the name. rpjj ere wag a large crowd present at ,j a y am i evening meetings and everyone was pleased and edified.
