FDR THE SAKE OF ECONOMY.
Use of High Denomination Stamps Will
be Encouraged.
The Third Assistant Postmaster
General has issued the following:
As a measure of economy postmasters
and postoffice employees are
directed to encourage the public to
use stamps of the highest denominations
suited to the amount of postage
required on all mail. For exampie,
a 2-cent stamp instead of two ;
1-cent stamps should be affixed to
letters needing 2-cent postagt.and a
10-cent stamp instead of five 2-cent
should be attached to parcels requiring
10-cents postage. Cooperation
between post-office employees and
the public in the sale and use of
stamps of the higher denominations
will effect a large saving to the Gov.
ernment in the cost of producing,
P iransporting and canceling them,and
will Denenc me puunc m niiuiiui&iug
the number of stamps handled and
affixed to mail. This benefit will be
especially important to business concerns
mailing large quantities of letters
and parcels, and postmasters
are directed to bring the suggestion
particularly to their notice.
The Evils of Constipation.
Constipation is one of the main
reason- why the average human life
is below 4<> years. Leaving waste
material in the Inxly poisons the
system and blood and makes us liable
to sick headaches, biliousness,
nervousness and muddy skin. \\ hen
