Parcel Post Regulations.

The new parcel post law will 60 into
effect Jan. 1st. A little later the Demo
crat will summarize the main provisions
of the law. In the meantime, the post
office department is anxious to get be-
fore the public certain regulations re-
gardiug the service which all patrons
will have to observe. These provisions
are:
That distinctive parcel post stamps
must be used on all fourth-class matter
beginning Jan. 1, 1918, and that such
matter bearing ordinary postage stamps
will be treated as "held for postage"
That parcels will be mailable only at
post offices, branch post Offices, lettered
and local named stations, and such num-
bered stations a may be designated by
the postmaster.
That all parcels must bear the return
card of the sender; otherwise they will
not be accepted for mailing.
The last named regulation, providing
for the return card as an essential to the
mailing, 10 likely to make some con-
fusion; but 1t won't be circumstance to
the trouble that the postmasters are In
for on account OF that special stamp pro-
vision, which bars out regular postage
stamps. Members Of the postal service
are going to accumulate . large stock OF
gray hairs In the first months Of the COM
ing year.
