She Dropped Her Hat
Into the Postal Box.

New Haven. Feb: 10-They are In
stalling a commercial mail bag recep-
tacle in the postoff1ce lobby. A Sec
ton. has been taken from one Of the
hollow iron posts separating the sec
tions of letter boxes in the Church
street side, for the receptacle. The
space is about foot square and just
large enough to receive the small
commercial mail bags that firms and
gers in which to carry the mail to
and from the main Office.
For several days q printed tag stat
ing that the receptacle was closed. has
been displayed at the front, as it is
not yet ready for business. Night
before last, a lady came to the Office
to mail some letters and perceiving
the card, her feminine curiosity was
at once aroused and she craned her
small compartment. 1t happened that
her hat was not firmly fastened and
unfortunately for her the hat fell
down the hollow compartment. She
then reported to one of the postal
clerks that she had lost her hat and
in the commercial pouch receptacle
and requested that it be rescued.
When the pouch receptacle Is fin
ished there Is to be an opening at
the floor in the mailing room and a
drawer installed so that mail pouches
may be removed and the mail taken
out and assorted. This provision IL
now lacking and the only entrance
to the compartment is the opening in
the lobby. SO, it was no easy mat
ter to extract the lady's hat. Sticks
were provided and at last. after less
than a half hour, the hat was fshed
up. The lady meanwhile had waited
in the lobby and was pro-
fuse in her thanks when she secured
her hat She mentally resolved never
to look into the commercial pouch re-
ceptacle again and not to be so curious
when she visited the .pOstoffice.
The commercial pouch will prove q
great convenience. There are now
40 Or so commercial mail pouches sent
out by merchants and business hous-
es. The receptacle is intended for use
at night when the postoffice is clos
ed. The next morning the pouches
are called for and the letters arriving
at night are placed in them ready to
carry away. The receptacle will be in
use in a few days.

SCALES ALL OVER HER BODY

About three years ago I was af- fected by white scales on my knees and elbows. I consulted a doctor who treated me for ringworm. I saw no change and consulted a specialist and he claimed I had psoriasis. I contin- ued treatments under him for about six months until I saw scales break ing out all over my body save my face. My scalp was affected. and my hair began to fall. I then changed doctors to no avail I went to two hospitals and each wanted to make a study of the case and seemed unable to cure it or assure me of cure. I tried several patent medicines and was finally advised by friend who has used Cuticura on her children since their birth, to purchase the Cuticura Remedies. I purchased a cake of Soap, the Ointment and the Resolvent. After the first application the itching was allayed.
 T am still using the Soap and Oint- ment and now feel that none other is good enough for my skin. The psor- iasis has disappeared and I every where feel better. My hands were so disfgured before using the Cuticura Remedies that had to wear gloves all the time. Now my body and hands are looking fine" (Signed) Miss Sara Burnett, 2135 Fitzwater St., Philadel- phia, Pa, Sept. 30, 1910.
 Cuticura Soap (25c) and Cuticura Ointment (50c) are sold throughout the world. Send to Potter Drug & Chem. Corp, sole props, 1855 Colum- bus Ave, Boston, for free book on af- factions of the skin and scalp.

Branchland, W. Va.-In a letter from this place, Mrs. Elizabeth Chap man says: q suffered from womanly trouble for nearly five years I tried all the doctors in the country, but they did me no good. I can say that l certainly do believe that Cardui saved my life. I took Cardui, and now I am entirely well.

 I will continue to recommend this great remedy to all friends, for can not praise Cardui half as highly as 1t deserves"
