CONCERNING THE
PUSH CARD FAD

The postal card fad is being carried
to great extremes. While the Post
Office Department looks with favor
upon souvenir cards that are inotfenslve
it is going after others of the opposite
sort in way that promises to cut
down the business considerably.
During an interview with Postmast-
er @. Il. Harder Tuesday some facts
were learned which, it is believed, will
prove very interesting reading. 1t Is
true many persons have the right idea
concerning souvenir postal cards, and
the custom of sending oGt cards con-
tanning pictures of landmarks, i'm
provements and bits of scenery,
such as our new bridge with first troll
lev car, Christ Church and the like is
auite within the law and should be
encouraged but there are another class
of faddists who have a great deal to
learn for their own good and in the
interview with our postmaster will be
found the information they need.
Postmaster Harder called attention
TO the fact that the law enacted by
Congress few years ago provides that
cards of the same size and weight as
the ordinary postal card may be sent
| through the mails as ordinary postal
cards provided one-cent stamp be
| affixed. The trouble is, he says, tha'
while many of the printed cards sole
as souvenir postal cards meet these re
| uuirements and can be written upof
and sent through the mails with
cent stamp affixed, large number OF
others-probably the larger numbe
sent out-are much bigger than TIN
ordinary postal cards. or worse yet, ar
made of leather or wood.
All such cards as the latter, whicl
do not meet the requirements, ar
mailed as merchandise at the rate o
one cent per ounce, but if anything i
written upon them, then they requlr
letter postage, which is two cents pc
ounce. The leather cards are about tn
same size as the ordinary postal cards
but they are much thicker and are ban
ed from the mails except as merchar
disc. If written upon letter postag
must be paid. The wooden souvenir:
larger ard heavier, generally welg
more than an ounce. If anything
written upon these four cents !
stamps must be affixed. The troubl
is that to most people, all souvenir
"look alike" and they atfiX one-ceI
stamps to big and little, write the
messages upon the back and dump the
into the letter boxes. The great ma
ority of course, being unmallable, G
not reach their destination.
: There is another class of postal care
that are indelicate and offensive al
it is this class that the Post Office ID
partment is after Orders have bee
issued to stop all such cards. Pos
! master Harder says that the Depar
, ment draws the line on girls in bat
ing suits and on pictures with IT
devils accompanied by the legend:
am having 40 a time. " Not ol
f of such cards are permitted to reaC
r the addressee. but are forwarded

SOME CONCERN EXISTS
CHOLERA EPIDEMIC IN GERMANY
ARoUSES OFFICIALS TO RE-
NEWED ACTIVITY.

Berlin, Sept. At Is officially bull
letined that sixty-six cholera cases
and twenty-three deaths have occurred
In Prussia. OF this number ten new
cases and three deaths were reported
during the day.
While anxiety Is not yet the word
to describe the feeling In the imperial
health Office concern over the cholera
situation does begin to exist. Most
of the new cases do not break out
among the quarantined persons, but
are suddenly heard of in detached
farmhouses or villages not contiguous
TO the Vistula. Hence the inference
Is that the infected areas are widen
ing slowly and that the measures to
hold the disease strictly within the
existing boundaries have not been
fully successful. These measures,
however, are being sharply increased.
Orders were issued during the day to
close all the refreshment houses along
the Vistula except those located in
towns. These small restaurants and
bars are frequented by rivermen, who
are the most likely to be infected.
In anticipation of cholera reaching
Berlin the government has begun the
erection of two barracks for cholera
patients or suspected illness at Koe-
penck, on the River Spree, near Ber-
lin, and also established an inspection
station for river traffic.
