Are
You
Reading
A ChicagOO
Newspaper :

Every self-supported and self-respect-
ed head of a family in this section ought
TO take at least two newspapers-his own
home paper and the Chicago Journal.
We give the preference TO the local
paper, because that is the one that comes
nearer home to The man, and in which
ne should have a direct, personal and
friendly interest.
Newspapers cost so little nowadays,
however, that it entails no heavy burden
on a1J one able to rear his family decently
to enable him to take both his local paper
and The Journal. In no other way is it
possible to get ST. much of pleasure and
profit at so little expenditure of money
The Chicago Journal is the leading
newspaper published in the West, indie
pendent in politics, and at all times ana
under all conditions advocating what it
believes to be right and just to all men.
The Journal is easily the popular
paper Of this section. 1t contains every
day the Latest Reliable News, the Bright
est Editorial, the Cleverest Special Ar
ticles and the wittiest Cartoons of any
paper printed in the English language

The New Postal Cards

The postoffice department is soon to
issue an entirely new set of postal
cards, and, incidentally, as a result of
greater economy in their manufacture,
the government is to save at least
$50, 900 per year, says The New York
Herald.
The cards are to be slightly smaller
than those now in use, and, as millions
of them are issued by the department
annually, part of the saving is attri-
butable to this reduction in size.
There are to be three styles of cards
in the new issue. The ordinary single
card, for both domestic and interna-
tlonal use, is to be 34x53 inches.
There is to be a smaller card. for
domestic use only, which is to be 2
5-l6 by 4 1916 inches, and return
card for both domestic and interna-
tlonal use, which is to be 81 by 81
inches. The smaller card is an entire
ly new size; the ordinary single card
is to be one-fourth of an inch narrower
than the corresponding card now in
use, and the double reply card is also
reduced a quarter of an inch in width.
No change whatever is to be made
In the design of either the single in
ternatiOnal card, the double domestic
or the double international card. New
designs have been adopted for the
ordinary domestic card and the new
smaller domestic card.
The ordinary card will have a por-
trait of Thomas Jefferson, three-quar-
tiers face, looking to the left, Just as it
appears on the present card, but sur
rounded by somewhat fuller olive
wreath, and having at the bottom, in
very small capitals on curved tabled,
the name Jefferson. To the left
of the portrait are three straight lines
Of lettering. The first is made up of
the words ''POstal card-One cent. in
gothic capitals. The second line con-
talns the words Omitted States of
America, in ornamental capitals upon
plain black tablet surrounded by a
single fine black line, with a heart
shaped final at either end and a semi
circular ornament at the bottom.

each side running parallel with the
tablet. The third line is made up of
the words This side for the address
only" in very small gothic capitals.
The single small card contains a
portrait of John Adams, three-uuar-
tiers face, in the upper right hand
corner, looking to the left, surrounded
by an olive wreath, and with the
name ''John Adams upon a scroll at
the bottom. To the left of the por-
trait are three lines of ordinary
Roman capitals. The first contains
the words Postal card-one cent
The second line contains the words

tails. The third line contains in quite
small letters the words This side

second and third lines is an ornament
