Strong efforts are to be nude during
the coming term Of cougresst TO secure
ole cent letter postage. Considerable
progress was made in the direction Of
ugitating the reduction of letter post
uge during the session Of congress just
closed. but the advocates did not serl-
ousIy attempt TO pass any such law.
Coupled with the proposition for the
reduction of the postuge Is the pro-
posed increase of the second class, rate.
In fact. many OF the advocIes Of the

in the way OF tue lower rate is the fact
that second class matter is now car.

that the eye is still SO swollen that
the exact condition cannot be learned
