TREAcHnRous ssrAMPs.-C0mplaints are frequently
made in regard to the liability of postage stamps to
desert their trust and leave a letter in the lurch.
Much of the difficulty Is due to wetting the stamps
only on the gummed side. This causes the expan-
son of one side more than the other hence the stamp
sdheres imperfectly, and when dry is liable to peel
of. Wet both sides and aaix, and very little gum
will cause II to adhere with perfect security.
