deavored always to avoid unnecessary
personalities Through the courtesy of
Secretary Moody, recourse has been had
to. official papers which were not avail

NEW ORDER
Postofice to Make Concessions to the
Big Firms.

Postmaster Fisher expects by October
| the order recently made by the post
office department permitting the trans
mission of third and fourth class mat
ter through the mails without being
stamped. While this order is general, it
is stipulated that every piece Of mail
must be identical in character and mail
ed in quantities not less than 1900
pieces.
This order will be promulgated in the
interest of the large business firms
which annually spend thousands of dol
lars for stamps. Third and fourth class
matter includes circulars and merchan-
disc. II has been necessary heretofore
to place the requisite amount of post
age on each piece of mail matter. Ut
der the new rule the mail matter will be
weighed in the gross and charges made at
the regular postage rate. Instead of al
fixing stamps, however, the mail may
be sent in direct and the amount of the
stamps deposited with the office. The
law under which this ruling is made
became operative last month, but owing
TO failure TO secure the proper blank
forms, il was necessary to delay put
ting it in operation.

satisfaction with the result Of his work.
Baltimore also was threatened with IT,

Sorie years ago while at work, l fell
over truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as a result, and the doctor told me
would have running sores for life, and
that If they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use OF S. S. S. Its effects
were prompt and gratifying. II took
only short while for the medicine to en-
tirely cure up the sores, and / am not

the sores ever broke out again. Some IA

benefited by its use can heartily recon-
