In 1879 congress passed an act authoriZ.
ing the postmaster general IN issue postal
cards, and the first in the United States
were on sale in May. 1878 Postal cards
are manufactured by private firms or cor
porations The government invites bids
and awards the contract for their manu-

The postal card "sheets' are about 30
by 22 inches In size and are exactly fitted
to the plates from which the cards are
printed, each plate covering 40 cards, 4 in
width and 10 In length.
The printing is done by experienced
workmen, and as the sheets pass into the
presses the number of cards Is accurately
recorded by registers. To prevent any tam
pering the registers are securely locked ev.
cry night
After the sheets ara printed they are put
aside until thoroughly dry. They are then
passed through MACHINE called the silt

cards each and neatly trims the edge Of
the outside strip. These strips are then
passed transversely through another ma
chine known as the "cross CUTTER which
cuts the strips into single cards and they
drop into rotary hopper containing ten
compartments
The moment each compartment has re-
ceived 90 cards the hopper revolves and
throws them all out upon table En-.

The Yellow. Shirt Versus sunstroke.

AZ hint comes from India which is
worth using when the hot summer days
are upon us. Lassitude and loss Of ap-
petite are among the first evidences Of
the effect of the SUMS heat upon the
body, and in hot weather many persons
who have Pever had sunstroke are debil-
itated by What may fairly be called sun
fatigue, which, although rot serious,
renders work Of every kind more iabo-
rious than it would otherwise be. The
influence of the sun varies enormously
on different indiTiduals, gome Of whom
have to take special precautions in order
to be ,.ble to resist it. A spinal pad is
used by soldiers in many tropical coun-
tries. 1t arrests the light, which often
works such injury, but is uncomfortably
hot.
According to royal engineer, who is
stationed in India. the boon and bless
ing beyond compare to those who have
TO spend. part Of their. ]ives under a
tropical sunlight is an orange celored
shirt. He declared that he frequently
fell sick after duty in the sun until he
treated himself as Photographic sena-
tive plate and surrounded his body with
yellow light. All clothing, however
thick, allows certain rays tepass, and
although thick clothing would arrest. all
the injurious elements of sunlight, it.
would interfere with the escape Ct bed:
lily heat. The yellow shirt, for sensitive
people who are much in hot sunlight, is
an excellent protection, ouly inferior to
that simplest and best of:alt Indian pro-
tectivcs, white umbrella, which: has
not yet been scclimated in this country,

It is not unsual for druggists to

Remedy to their. customers. Many
of them have used it themselves, or
in their families and know from
