Postmaster Palmer has just issued circu
lar giving complete information regarding
the postage and registration of third-class
mail matter. No package of such matter
can be received until proper examination

to prevent the registration and admission into
the mails of matter that is unmailable, and
also to prevent the admission at third-class
rates of matter upon which postage is proper.
ly chargeable at first-class rates under exist
ing laws and regulations. Postmasters should
require packages to be put up securely, so as

or in print, OF the number and names of the
articles inclosed. No'additional written mat
ter except the address, is permitted by law.
A request to return may also be printed, but
to ao1ste such request would by law subject
the package to postage at first class Qetter)

third-class matter will be treated the same as
unclaimed registered letters.

visions, as follows: The first division in
cludes pamphlets. occasional publications,
