IMPORTANT POSTAL REGULATIONS
Withdrawal of Objectionable Post
Cards From the Mails

In view of the large number of
objectionable post cards recently
deposited in the mails the atten-
tion of postmasters is especially
directed to that provision of Sec
tign 573 of the Postal Laws and
Regulations, reading as follows:
All matter which is manifestly
obscene, lewd or lascivious will,
when deposited in a post office, be
withdrawn from the mails and
sent to the Dead Letter Office.
Under this rule every post
card bearing picture, or language
that is obscene, indecent, or inn
properly suggestive, should be i'm
mediately withdrawn from the
mails and forwarded without de-
lay, to the Fourth Assistant Post
master-General, Division of a
Dead Letters.
eff there is doubt as to whether
a card is sufficiently Objectionable,
to warrant its exclusion, it should
be forwarded to the First Assist
ant Postmaster General, Division
of Correspondence, for decision,
in accordance with paragraph ?,
Sec. 1873, Postal Laws and Regu-
lations.
POstmasters are directed to ex-
ercise all possible vigilance, in the
enforcement of these regulations.
When there is writing on the
address side Of the card, it be-
comes first class mail matter, and
a two cent stamp is invariably re-
quired. Leather cards do not come
under the head of post cards ac-
COrding to the rules laid down by
the department. When there is a
writing on the front or back of
this card, it becomes first class
mail matter and a two-cent stamp
is required.
Every post card or souvenir card
must be stamped. Quite a few
people think that because some of
these cards are 50 expensive that
they should pass through its mails
free, but this is not correct.

incense of His praise: "She hath

A lesson in sacred aesthetics is
here. Money spent to adorn and

grudged. A cathedral, for exam

expended in awakening the senti-
ment of worship is never lost. It
is always justi6able. Proportion

They are definite contributions to

Judas, by reason of the enormi-
ty Of his crime, is almost excluded

role of human beings. But it ad-

not men now living who under
similar circumstances would not
do exactly as Judas did. He was
a man, not a devil from the neither

Martha did not sulk. Jesus had
on a previous visit criticised her
for being trouble with much serv-
ing. She did not on that account
fly moodily to the other extreme
and refuse to serve at all. It is
very significant then (although it
might be overlookedJ, when the
record says, Martha served"
Taking criticism is a fine art as

could not be any substitute for it.
