LICKING POSTAGE STAMPS.
Why Not Lick The Corner of The
EnVelODe?

Much complaint has been made re-
Gently over the quality of the paper
used in printing postage stamps, and
also because of the insutficiency and
lack of sickness of the gum on their
backs. These complaints have pro-
voked statement from one of Post
master-General Burleson's assistants
to the effect that the stamps are all
right and that the gum is excellent
in quality, sufficient in quantity and
superior adhesively. The trouble, he
thinks, is in the licking.
| But why lick postage stamp at
all? And this question applies whe-
Their the Ticker" is a sponge or the
human tongue. Every time a post
age stamp is licked portion of the
mucilaginous gum Is removed, and
its adhesive quality is impaired. Ev-
cry time postage stamp is swabbed
by the human-Abngue the latter is
more or less coated with a sticky,
sour, ill-smelling, bad-tasting stuff
that makes castor oil seem sweet by
comparison. Why lick postage
stamL at all?
By far the better, simpler, more
efficient way is to lick the little cor
ner of the envelope where the stamp
is to be placed. The envelopes are
clean, white paper. The gum on the
back of postage stamp is-what?
Nobody knows but the mixer of the
pasty mess, and he won't tell.

Would Run Bay Boats

At a meeting held yesterday after
noon in Philadelphia in regard to
disseminating the bay steamers, the
management decided that it would
not take off the boats on the Balti-
more, Chesapeake and Atlantic, and
Maryland, Delaware and Virginia
routes on April LIST, but would con-
tinue them until January, 1917, pro-
vided the Interstate Commerce Com
mission would comply with their
provisions.
The Company wants the privilege
of selling whatever boats they de-
sire, and revising their freight rates.
The proposition was submitted to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
this afternoon.
Vernon S. Bradley, president of
the Cambridge Board of Trade, has
been quite active in the fight to pre-
vent the discontinuance of these
boats, and has co-operated in every
way to prevent the order removing
these boats from becoming effective.

Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste OF
any kind Of cereal food. He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts
Well, you never saw a child eat with
such relish, and it did me good tc
see him. From that day on it seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and think he
would have liked the food for dinner
"The difference in his appearance
is something wonderful.
my husband had never fancied
cereal foods Of any kind, but he be.
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.
We are now a healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
