BRITISH ARE WORKED.
Merchants Mail Cir
culars From Liverpool.

New York April 19--It seems hard
" credible that business circulars of
firms in the United States should be
sent to England to be mailed here to
addresses in the United States. for the
purpose of saving postage, yet this is
the actual fact, according to the Herald
correspondent at London.
This curious state of affairs is said
to have been revealed at Liverpool by
the treasury instructions to the Gus
toms officers located there.
These officers have been ordered to
seize large consignments of circulars
sent by business men in the United
States to their Liverpool agents.
These firms receive circulars in bulk
which are then addressed, have a half
penny stamp put upon each, and are
dumped into the Liverpool postOf6ce, to
be carried back to America in the
mails
The postage rate under the laws OF
Great Britain for such circulars is a
tries in the postal union, but in the
United States the postage is two cents,
equivalent to one penny.
It is therefore obvious that business
men who send out thousands of cir
culars each week can save money by
shipping them in bulk at a low rate of
freight to Liverpool and then have them
sent back to the United States.
The attention of the treasury officials
was called to this matter by an official
in the Liverpool postoffiee, who noticed
that several large consignments of
American trade circulars addressed to
parties in the United States had been
posted in Liverpool
He Investigated the matter and found
that the practice had been in vogue for
some time. The result of his investi-
cation is that immediate steps have
been taken to stop the business.

Feed pale girls on Scots
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at it's best,
fullest in strength, least in
taste.
Young women in their
"teens are permanently cured
of the peculiar disease Of the
blood which shows itself in
paleness, weakness and nervous
ness, by regular treatment
with SCOTS Emulsion.
It is a true blood food and
is naturally adapted to the cure
Of the blood sickness from
which so many young women
