PARCELS POST FREAKS
Queen bees, live Insects, Reptiles, A
nong Animals Uncle Sam VIII Garry.

To send queen bees through the mails
you have to present q health certi'
cate at the postmasters window and
oan afidavit that the queens" have
been given a bath in a sterilized
bowl.
That's what the new parcels post
rules and regulations book recently
received by Postmaster Cavanaugh
says. The new rules are being sent to
all postmasters preparatory to the in
augural of the new service January 1.
A feature of the new service is that
the government recognizes for the first
time officially the possible use Of aero
planes for carrying mail. A special
stamp, marked "aeroplane SERVICE" has
been provided to be used on all mail
sent through the air.
You can also have your butter, lard.
fresh meat, fish and eggs sent up by
mail if you desire. Other things spec
flied as permissible under the new
rules are specimens of dried blood, dis
eased tissues. cultures and tubercnlar
sputum. providing. however, that these
specimens have been protected under
the instructions of the federal public
health bureau.
Perishable matter is accepted for
local delivery, but If it can not be de-
livered promptly and becomes offens-
i've and injurious to health, the post
master is authorized to promptly cast
it into the sewer.
You can send pills through the mails,
but no poisonous powders, explosives or
Internal machines under the new rules
of the parcels post.
While queen bees have place of honor
in the list of "live" and dead" matter
that can be sent through the mails,
there is no mention of the poor COM
mon ordinary working bee. The queen
beees can be transported through the
mails without any great danger to the
life or limb of mail carriers by careful
caging In various ways.
One favorite way to ship bees is to
pack them in knot holes in a small
piece of timber and cover both sides
with screen. Intoxicating liquors, pis.

But you can send all the snuff you
want through the parcels post.
