EASTER POST CARDS
BARRED FROM MAILS
Those Bearing Tinset or Other Sub
stances Not MaitabIe-- Big De.
mand for Easter Cards.

New rules adopted by the postof
fee department regarding the mailing
of post cards have made many of the
attractive Easter post cards placed on
sale drug on the market, for under
the new rulings many OF these can
not be sent through the mails unless
they are inclosed In envelopes.
The Easter post card Is a develop
ment of the post card craze. and in
spite Of the restrictions placed upon
their use by the post office depart
ment. the local dealers report a big
demand for the cards.
The department has decreed that
cards bearing particles Of glass, met
al. mica, sand, tinsel. or other similar
substances are unmailable. except
when inclosed In envelopes. This or
der is said to have been the result of
an injury sustained by a postoffice
employe In the north In handling q
card to which a piece Of mica was
attached.
Although many OF these cards have
been placed on sale. Postmaster
Blood has not had occasion to bar n
single card from the mails. This is
supposed to be due largely to the
fact that local dealers are telling
their customers what kind Of cards
can be sent through the mails.
Several other important changes
are made by the new rules regarding
the postcards. which went into effect
March /. One new rule provides that
very thin sheets OF paper may be at.
tached to the cards, but only on con-
dition that they adhere completely
thereto. Such sheets may bear both

Not a drop of alcohol enters into
DR.. Pierce's leading medicines. A
much better agent is used both fol
extracting and preserving the me-

refined glycerine of proper strength.
This agent possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being a most
valuable anti-septic and anti-fer-

Glycerine plays an important
part in DR.. Pierce's Golden Med

For all diseases of the mucous
membranes, the "Golden Medical
Discovery" is a specific Catarrh,
whether of the nasal passages or of
the stomach, bowels or pelvic or

Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is
well, while taking the uGo1den
