Postal Abuses.
Charles Emory Smith, Postmaster
General, to bis aooaal report, wcvotee
considerable attention to tba abase of
seoood olsts matter He ?eys :
"Tbe moat argent need of tbe postal
serf ice is the reoiifioatioo of the eoor
moot wrongs wbiab have growo op id
Ibe perversion eod abase of tbe privi
lege aooorded by law lo oeocod-elaee
matter
* For this eostly abase which drags
on Ibe department end weigba down
tbe service, trammels ita power and
means of effective tdveoeement in
every direction, inv<?|?ea e abeer,
wanton watte of $20.000,000 or more
e year. Tbe postal deficit for the
enrreot year, is $6 010.776. Bat for
tbio wrong* il application cf tbe seoood
olese rate, "leteed of e defioit there
would be a dear aorplos of many
aailliooa. It is oow propoesd to restrict
tba privileges of legitimate pobiioatioos
or to modify tbe detigo of tbo lew, bat
ooly to briog beek its appiioatioo to its
original end jost soope "
As to tbe obaraoter of tbe abases
wbieb lead to tbis loss, Mr. Smith ssys:
"lbs first ia tbe paper covered books
pnt ont coder pretense of being atrial
pobiioatioos Tbsy have nothing of ihr
nature of periodioele. Tbsy do net pos
seee a tingle odd of tbe attributes wbicb
Ooagrtss meant to require in publica?
tions tbet abonld be entitled to tbe sea
ood ultss rate. Tbeir 'eonaeeotive onm
benog' ie e traversity ; tbair iaeuanee et
'stated ietervele' a parody ; tbeir 'sub
aariptioo list' a fiction ; their oletui of
being pnbliabed 'for tbe dissemination
of information of a public ebaraoter* e
borlotqae. Tbara ie ootbiog to diario
goitb tbem ia sabetanoe from bound
books, and tbe discrimination in tbeir
favor is moat oojust to tbe publishers of
floar literature
"Tbe second abuse is cooosotcd witb
ibe advertteiog house organ' and the
to called trede jouroal. One of my pre?
decessors. Postmaster Oeosrel Bisseil,
ehcraeteiiied it aa tbe 'bogus irsds
journal ' There ere mtoy genu'oe
trade joarotls wbieb ere as legitimate
as aoy periodieel eod justly entitled to
all tbeir privileges.
"Theee ere rot ineludad in tbe oriti*
eisms. But tbe trade journal described
it simply en advertising sobtme It it
not designed to disseminate informetioo
of a poblis ohsrteter. sod bet oo stand*
ing as ibt eiponent of eoy trtde or io*
dueiry. These priots do oot eooform
in any jutt senss to tbs requirements of
tbs law, but offer only a nominal and
teebeieel conformity
"Tbe third ebuae grows out of tbe
privilege of sample copies. Tbe sample
copy of a regularly admitted paper or
periodioal, eoontiug for support upon
its menu is prssumably designed to
induce a new snbeeriptioo by aibibitiog
ite merits io e new quarter. But, as a
mattsr of fset, io many iostnooee tbs
sample oopy baa become not tbe indivi
dual eibibit, but the potential cloak of
a thousand timee multif itd distribution
without rsgard to subscriptions, and
solsly* aa tba plea and pledge for
odvtrtisiog.
"Tbe difficulty must be ourcd by tbe
lew-making power. Tbe points to be
reeebed ere clear and well defioeo. It
ie vital to reeetablisb io tbstr proper
elessifiostioo eod forbid tbe privilege
of tbe poood rate to serial libraries of

ebeeta of an eiolneive edvertieiog ebar?

purposes, to edvertieiog eironlars wbiob

THE ffJJibT BAiJY.
Its Coming is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and it3
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.
The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most im?
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become o mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her,
when the little one shall nestle upon her1
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, "mother."
But her happy anticipation quickly van?
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while, bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at?
tend child-birth; they know that by
the use of "Mother's Friend"?a scien?
tific liniment?for a few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
so prepare themselves for the final
hour t hat the pain and suffering of the
dreaded event n?sj entirely obviated and
it is safely passed through with com?
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es?
pecially expectant mothers who for the
iirst time have to undergo this trial, in
such a remedy; for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dan?
ger, which is in store for them. "Moth?
er's Friend** is woman's greatest bles?
sing, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read the little book
"Before Baby is Born," which contains
information of great value to all. It
will be sent free to any one who sends
their address to The Brad field Kegu
lator Co., Atlanta, Ge.
