 It is particularly enjoined that letters. post cards, and packages be not addressed with lead pencil and hat every piece of mail matter bear the name and address of the sender so that i'll case of monde livery letters may be promptly re turned to the senders.
 The long transit taken by the mail before it reaches the delivery points abroad calls for the use of envelopes that are substantially made, as ex- perience has shown that wellmade envelopes retain clear and distinct the addresses written thereon, while in the case of envelopes of poor material the writing becomes indis- tinguishable. rendering uncertain the correct reading of the names or some part of the address.
 Care In Whipping
 Reports continue to be received to indicate that packages reach United States post offices in Europe in such dlapidated condition that repack ing has frequently to be undertaken before delivery can be effected. The senders should use heavyweight pa per. canvas, or cloth as wrapping foi the packages, and when canvas or cloth is employed the address should be written on shipping tag, with the name and address of the sender on the reverse side.

In 1913 he participated in the big stampede from Dawson to Chisana From Chisana he went to Juneau, and when the war broke out went from Juneau to Vancouver at once and enlisted. He has a brother in Ne mana, Alaska. The Casket, of An tigonish, Nova Scotia, prints the following experience regarding his unusual experience:
 John A. Chisholm, of Harbour. Antigonsh, is the first Antigonish county man to escape from a Ger man prison On December ,, his brother, William Chisholm, of the Habour, was advised from Ottawa of the escape, and since he has re- ceived the letter below telling of the writer's experience in prison, and while making his escape. The man Dougald referred to in the letter is brother of Dan McPherson, shoemaker, Town. He has been prisoner for upwards of year. MT. Chisholm enlisted in Vancouver in January, 1916, went overseas short ly afterward, and reached the fight ing line in just thirty-two days. He was a member of a company of engineers. On June ?, 1916, in in the heavy fighting at Ypres, he was reported missing. When next heard from he was prisoner in Germany. He writes as follows:
 London, Eng, Dec. 3, 1917- Dear Brother: It is long time since I last wrote you, in April, believe. I am now in England, having made my escape from Ger many on November 15. Reached here four days ago. Was quaran- tined in Holland fourteen days.
 Frank Coombs, an English boy, made it with me We had some experience. 1t took us ten days ad ten nights to make it. You know we were pretty far into Ger many. We had to travel by night md hide in daytime. We swan riv- CTS and crossed swamps to get out, but God was with us, and we rot through all right. In Holland he people treated us good. We came down to Rotterdam, and the British consul took charge of us. We crossed to England. You know we had our prison clothes on. We could not get anything else. It is l very hard country to get out Of Very few English prisoners get out All the time we were very heavily guarded. l am sorry for the ones left behind. We suffered terribly in Germany. They made the worst slaves they could of us, compelling IS to work from a. m. till ' D. m and punished us severely. Some 100 of us English prisoners were building steel bridge on the Rhine at Fingers l was at that fifteen months. I tried to escape 'ast Christmas, but was caught. and brought back, and terribly punish ed. If it were not for the parcels

of rabbits, lingering around town al
day and coming back without selling
them. When asked by his mother why
he had not sold the rabbits, he said nc
one asked him what was in the sack
How many of our merchants are like
this little boy? They have plenty OF
goods for sale, but fail to tell the peo-
pie what is in the sack. If you expect
to sell goods in this day and age, you
must open your sack ana keep shouting
the merits of your stock in trade.
