HANCOCK TELLS
OF MAIL RULES
TO SERVICE MEN

Because Of mistaken ideas regarding
the packages to be sent to soldiers
Postmaster B. S. Hancock today issued
the following statement:
No order from commanding Off
Ger is necessary for the sending Of the
one Christmas package which may ba
sent to men with the Allied armies.
The package must be sent through the
Red Cross and comply with the regu-
lations announced by that organiza-
ton. Other packages may be sentt
through the regular mail channels at
all times, where an order from the ac-
tual commanding Office has been sent
from the service man to the PERSON
who wishes to mail the package"
Much confusion has resulted because
many have come to the postofflce to
mail packages with slips signed only
by inferior officers, who We're not in
command. 1t is absolutely necessary
ifw the postof1lce is to accept such pac
kages that the officer whose name is
signed to the service mans reqeust be
signed as commanding officer. Other
wise the packages will be returned
from New York city to the sender.

The secret of saving money for tn.

become necessary.
II the budget system Of family fl

that, when the total income is 81, 900
the proportion spent for food should

each months food bill should not ex-

must not exceed st0.5O. if expenses are

Adjust the top bail or screw on the
top with thumb and little finger.
Sterilize ninety minutes in hot
