THE REASONS why

SCOTS Emulsion of Cod-liver
Oil and Hypophosphites is so
useful in all wasting diseases,
such as Consumption, Anemia,
Scrofula, Rheumatism, Bron-
chitis, and Marasmus and Rick
cts in children, is because it
furnishes to the depleted blood
the fattening and enriching
properties of the oil, and to
the bones and nervous system
the phosphorescent and vitaliz-
ing properties of the Hypophos-
phites, which together nourish
the body arrest the progress of
the disease, and commence a
process of repair that finally
means restored health and vigor.

STAUNTON. VA. May 6-tSpecial.)-
For several days past rumors that there
was smallpox in this section have been
rife, but the Dispatch correspondent re-
Trained from noting the rumors until
there should be certain developments.
To-day, however. the Board OF Health
consisting of Drs. Halter II. Henkel J..
Breckinriige Catlett. and d. NJ. Atkin-
son. reported to Mayor Fultz as their
opinion that the disease exists here. The
cases have not developed every charac.
teristic of smallpox, but the patients
have been treated for the disease. and
last night the first death occurred In the
person OF James Maupin. negro living
on south Green street. The deceased was
buried at once.
Fortunately the malady is not scat
tered throughout the city. and Is for the
most part confined to the negro tene
ment districts OF south Green street and
the northernmost end Of New street. So
far but one white person has been attack
ed, and he Is DOC" Fry. residing In the
infected district Of Green street.
THIRTY SUSPECTED CASES.
There are about thirty suspected cases
in the city. The infected localities have
been yellOW-HhBBcu anu puhiohtheu W

ported from the county. two near Mid

suspects may be better treated. DIR. j.

DOCTORS DIFFER.
There are intelligent physicians In the
city who. despite the opinion of the
Board Of Health. diagnose the disease as
chicken-pox Whatever 1t is It Is sup
posed to have been brought to this sec
ton from Cincinnati. 1t seems that a
negro arrived here from that city some
time ago, and for time made his head

fected part of the city. and also made
q visit to Middlebrook, where 1t Is safe
there are two cases. Vaccination Is the

WHAT CONSTITUTES LETTER4
Some Points Not Generally Known AbOut
Foreign Malls.


Most people have supposed that any
thing sealed against inspection and de-
livered to the post office constituted i'm
effect letter." which at the regula-
tion rate of two cents postage per
ounce the mail service would be obliged
to forward to it's destination. So far
as the domestic service is concerned.
this supposition may be correct, and
would seem to be implied ny the word
ing of official decisions, which declare
that ''all matter sealed or otherwise
closed against inspection is also of the
first class" But with the foreign mail
service, at least the condition is diff
ferent. A provision in the postal treaty
specifies that letters 'in their usual
and ordinary form" are to be for
warded at given rate. Just what
constituted this usual and ordinary
form" has not till now been defined
and officially declared. and this is the
way in which the definition was
brought out:
A Boston architect offered at the post
Office in that city a sealed roll ad-
dressed to the commissioner of patents
at Ottawa, Can, on which the proper
amount of postage, at letter rates, had
been paid. The clerk in charge of the
window declined to receive the roll as
a letter, and on the matter being re-
ferred to him, Postmaster Coveney de-
cided that the term letter is to be con-
strued to mean and embrace sealed
packages consisting of an envelope of
any size, but fat, as is the usual let
ter. The objector did not think that
this ruling and definition of letter
was correct, and gave his opinion that
letter twas package containing per-
sonal matter of no salable value" The
matter was referred to the author
tiles at Washington for decision.
the superintendent of foreign mails in
due time forwarded a decision em-
bodying the joint opinions of Cana
dian and American postal authorities,
to the effect that 1.-The term letter, in
its usual and ordinary form, is to be
construed to embrace sealed packages
consisting of an envelope of any size,
but of the usual letter shape, and it's
contents; but that rolls or a package
not inclosed in an envelope as the
word envelope is generally used, can
not be considered to be "a letter in it's
usual and ordinary FORM A sealed
package in the form of roll is, there
fore, not entitled to transmission in
the mails exchanged between the
United States and Canada; and your
Office was correct IN declining to re-
ceive the sealed roll mentioned" This
would seem to settle the matter as to
what constitutes letter within the
meaning of our postal treaties.
