A COMMUNICATION.

Many persons have received during the two last years several postals and letters, profeSsedly to assist in man. moth petition to Congress against the sale of cigarettes to minors. The writer repeatedly refused such re- quests, and on inquiry finds that the scheme is a humbug. An article in the Union Signal of January 2l, from Josiah w. Leeds of Philadelphia,s states ''that he had an interview with the postmaster there and obtained the fol- lowing facts: This mail first came to the pOstoffice, July, 1902, addressed to the United St James Society, 1423 Chestnut street; now it is received ad- dressed to several different titles. No society or person claiming this mail, it is sent to the dead letter office. As yet, it is impossible to check this un- owned endless chain letter scheme; but it is time that the public knows of the imposition. Every thorough temperance worker is in hearty sym pathy with any legitimate plan in the interest of similar petition, and hay ing law in our state for minors un- der 16 years of age, we should see that it is enforced in our respective towns. |-[Secretary sof Cornwall Bridge W. c.
