SECOND CLASS
MAIL NATTER
Will be RecIaSSified to Aid
Government Revenues

Scripps-McRae Press ass'n.
Washington, July 90. Postmaster
General Smith has signed three orders
Amending in important particulars ,he
postal regulations affecting second
class mail matter. The changes will
effect sweeping and radical reforms IN
the department practices and methods
of treating this class of matter.
The first order amends section 275,
which is the general dennation so as
to exclude from the second class, pub.
llcations which have the character
istics Of books. This amendment is
In these words:
Periodical publications, herein re-
ferred to. are held not to include those
having the characteristics Of books,
but only such as consist of current
news Of miscellaneous literary matter
or both mot excluding advertlsing)
and conform to the statutory charac-
Iteristics of second class mail matter"
The second order amends section
PSI in several particulars. the prin-
cipal one being that publications the
subscription to which are not founded
on their value as news or literary
journals. and which by the general
Iuse Of premiums or other considera-
tions in the form of chances 20 win
prizes. etc. to induce subscriptions
in effect circulate at apparently nom
inal rate, will be excluded from the
second class. The essential paragraph
of this is as follows:
"The subscription price must be
shown by the publication, and when
liz appears from the contents or from
the intrinsic inducements offered in
combination with IT, that the circula-
tion Of the publication is not founded
on It's value as q news or literary
journal and that subscriptions are not
made because OF such value but be
cause its offers of merchandise or
other considerations, result, in effect
in its circulation at apparently a nom
inal rate, such publication does not
come within the requirements Of the
law for acceptance as second class
matter"
The third order amends section SOl
so that unsold copies Of second class
publications may not be returned at
the pound rate to news agents or ia
publishers.
An explanatory statement given out
at the department regarding the order
says:
"The action Of Postmaster General
Smith is regarded as highly import
ant. It is evidence Of the purpose OF
the department to administer the law
as it is, strictly and properly and
that abuses, wherever found, will be
eradicated. Loose and Indifferent in.

NO PAIN, TRIPPING EXPENSE
A simple Harmless Remedy for the
Cure of Piles.

A person contracts cold, pneumonia,
rheumatism and pleurisy from expos
ure, dyspepsia and liver troubles from
dietary errors and the causes OF most
diseases are easily traceable, but al
though piles and rectal troubles are as
common as any OF these. the cause Is
obscure.
Violent exertion. as In lifting, some
times produces them and sedentafy
occupation Is by some supposed 70 be a
predisposlng cause. but as u rule piles
and rectal troubles appear without ap-
parent proyocatlon.
There are many pile salves and ONT
ments which give temporary relief and
when these fail the patient, II he can
anord the expense. and Is willing to
take the risk has recourse TO surgical
operation. But there is one remedy
which gives immediate relief and the
regular use OF which win bring about q
permanent cure and that is the well
known Pyramid Pile Cure
In long standing cases the Pyramid
has proven TO be the only cure except
a dangerous and exceedingly painful
surgical operation. and Its advantages
over any kind OF operation are many,
as II Is painless, causes no Interference
with daily occupation. and being in the
form OF a supp0silory Is always con-
venient and ready for use.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is an effective
combination of soothing oils and anti
septic acids. II contains no cocaine
nor nerve destroying opiates and UNI
Ike most pile salves. contains no BIZ
chloride OF mercury nor any injurious
drug OF any Kind.
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile
Cure az 50 cents for complete treat
ment OF the suppositories.
