SENDING POST CARDS
TO DEAD LETTER OFFICE.
Interesting Information Concerning
the Mailing Out of Picture Cards
Many Regulations to be
Observed.

Postoffices over the country are
having lot of trouble over the i'm
proper mailing of post cards and no
doubt many people wonder why the
cards that they have mailed were not
properly received by the addresses
and perhaps lay the blame on the
postal officials says dispatch
| Postoffices everywhere are flooded
with these souvenir post cards and
not a day passes but that many of
these cards are either held for lack
of postage or sent in to the dead
letter office as unmailable.
In the first place cards having tin
sci or particles of mica or other sub
stances likely to rub off in the mails
are unavailable under any rate of
postage unless inclosed in envelopes
and postmasters are required to send
them in to the dead letter office un-
der cover, If they are not so enclosed
when mailed.
There are many cards that are i'm
morally suggestive and postmasters
| have strict orders to send all such
cards to the dead letter office or to
| the assistant attorney general of the
| United States for his decision as to
| whether they are proper to send
| through the mails
The following is a recent order of
the postoffice department and may
| be of interest to those who mail post
cards with the desire to have them
promptly reach their destination.
Post cards and postal cards mailed
under cover of sealed envelopes
| transparent or otherwise) are
chargeable with postage at the first
class rate=two cents for an ounce
or fraction thereof. If enclosed in
unsealed envelopes they are subject
to postage according to the character
| of the message-at the first-class
rate if wholly or partly in writing. of
| the third-class rate tone cent for
each two ounces or fraction thereof)
If entirely in print. and the postage
should be affixed to the envelopes
covering the same.
Postage stamps affixed to such
cards inclosed in envelopes having an
opening exposing the stamp cannot
be recognized in payment of the post
age thereon.
Therefore, in view of the above.
observe the following:
Don't mail cards with tinsel on
| them unless you enclose the cards in
an envelope
Don't mail cards in transparent
envelope unless you place the stamp
on the envelope and not on the card.
If you write message on card
and enclose it in a transparent en-
velope whether sealed or unsealed.
put a two cent stamp on the envel-
ope.
Don't mail card that is manifest
ly obscene or improperly suggestive.

great many have been sick with
scarlet fever, and a much larger
number have missed school on ac-
count of the quarantine of their
homes. The long absences from the
school have made many pupils weak
in their work. The teachers do not
propose to conduct this summer
school for the purpose of passing on
to higher grades those who have
failed this year in their regular
school work; but they will give the
work for six weeks to meet a strong
demand from parents to strengthen
pupils who are weak in their stud
les. In word, the object of the
summer school is not to advance pu-
pills from one grade to another, but
to make them stronger. better, all
around pupils. However, below the
high school, if a pupil who has
failed by small margin is made so
much stronger by the summer work
that after school opens in September
/ the pupils teacher shall recommend
that he be advanced to the next high
er grade the promotion will be made
The teachers and superintendent are
always glad at any time in the school
year to advance the deserving pupil
who has shown distinguished ability
far beyond the others in his grade
We consider one of the strong feat
ures of our school work to be indi-
vidual promotion. Our aim is not
to deal with school children as with
flocks of sheep, but to reach the in
dividual by individual methods and
as much as is in our power to help
on each one, day by day, through
the work and training of the school
room to high plane of citizenship.

Celia Gormley, first. second and third

of these teachers is so well known
that they need no recommendation

FROM THE PINE WOODS.
Hyomei's Aromatic Air is Guaranteed
to Cure Catarrh or Cost Nothing.

Hyomci is natures true cure Cor
catarrh. There is no stomach dosing
in using Hyomei, no more than there is
when you go to the mountains or the
sea- shore to get relief from lung
troubles.
When using the Hyomci treatment,
the air you breath is like that on the
mountains high above sea level where
the pine woods fill the air with
aromatic healing that gives health and
strength to those suffering from
diseases of the respiratory organs.
Breathed through the neat pocket m
haler that comes with every outfit the
healing basams of Hyomei reach the
most remote air cells of the throat,
nose and lungs, destroying all catarrhal
germs and giving quick relief and cure
Hyomei has performed almost
miraculous cures of catarrh, often
restoring health in chronic cases that
had given up all hope of recovery. Its
best action is at the start of the
disease. when the breath is becoming
offensive and when discharges from the
nose. droppings in the throat and
frequent sneezing or spasmodic cough
ing begin to make life burden. At
the first symptom of catarrhal trouble,
use Hyomei and see how quickly you
get relief and cure.
The complete outfit costs but $1.00
and is sold by Bowditch Webster g.
Co, under guarantee to refund The
money if it does not give satisfaction.
Sold and guaranteed in Wateryille by

FOR PlMPLEs, TOO
New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles
Overniqht,.

few months ago the dispensers of
poslam, the new discovery for the cure
of eczema, decided to allow the drug
gists of the country to handle it. Pre-
vious to that time it could only be OBJ
tanned direct from the laboratories.
Since this change in the method of
distribution, pOslam has met with the
most phenomenal success of any
thing introduced to the drug trade in
the last 80 years. All leading drug
gists, including Coughlin's Pharmacy
in Augusta are now carrying the spe-
cial 50-cent size recently adopted, also
the So jar. ss
This great success is not surprising
when it is remembered that, in eczema
cases, poslam stops the itching with
first application, proceeds to heal i'm
mediately, and cures chronic cases in
few weeks. In minor skin troubles,
such as pimples, blackheads, acne,
herpes, blotches, rash, etc, results
show after an overnight application.
Experimental samples of poslam are
sent to anyone by mail free of charge,
by the Emergency Laboratories, 32
