Child Severely Burned
Mary the six-year-old daughter of Mr
and Mrs George Poh of South McCook
was severely burned Thursday evening
of last week and for a while her recov
ery was in doubt but she is now doing
quite well Her clothes caught fire
from a bonfire burning in that neighbor
hood The child ran shrieking home
but her clothes were practically burned
from her person before the flames were
extinguished and her body in places was
burned to a crisp It is thought now
she will recover without any serious af
tereffects or results
THE AGREEABLE
LAXATIVE
People often neglect to use a laxative
when they need one because they cant
swallow pills or tablets and have an
aversion to bad tasting liquid remedies
The remedy to use in such cases is our
CITRATE OF MAGNESIA
This is a bright sparkling beverage that
tastes like lemonade and its use is en
tirely devoid of any griping or sickening
effects
Our citrate of magnesia is always
fresh and reliable Price 25 cents

City Free Delivery of Mail
As tho McCook postollice on next
Monday inaugurates free city delivery
attention is called to some of the rules
of tho Postoflice Department regarding
carriers and patrons
Carriers are not required to go to tho
side or back doors to make delivery nor
to wait an unreasonable time for a re
sponse to his ring or other alarm Pa
trons who repeatedly fail to respond
promptly to carriers ring will be re
ported to the postmaster
Carriers are not required to deliver
mail to residences where vicious dogs
aro permitted to run at largo Persons
keeping such dogs must call at the post
oilico for their mail
Carriers are permitted to receive
letters and other small ai tides for
mailing when postage is properly pre
paid but are not required to accept
packages which are cumbersome on ac
count of size shape or bulk
Collection boxes will bo erected at an
early date at convenient points in the
city for the convenience of the public
in mailing letters each box bearing a
printed schedule of the hours of collec
tion
It is recommended by the Depart
ment that patrons provide mail boxes
at their homes for the receipt of mail
in order to facilitate speedy delivery
and insure the delivery of mail when no
one is at home
As the installation of this service re
quires an entire change in the working
system of the postoflice it is urgently
desired that each patron cooperate with
the carriers and postollice to get the
service in operation with the least
possible friction
