made up with utter disregard of the
regulations, simply wrapped in paper
The sender Is liable to prosecution I'M
der the law. An object lesson Of that
sort would probably be of benefit to
the community. ,'
The public do not want their mail
exposed to such criminal carelessness
Several times proper mailing cases,
being improperly fastened by careless
senders. have come open in transit
Once it will be remembered it was
necessary to close the office and fumi-
gate it thoroughly. Persons wishing
to mail such articles should obtain a
suitable mailing case from the lab.

what the government requires:
