To give wallpaper much longer
life, every year wipe the walls with q
cloth wrung quite dry out of warm
soapsuds. When the wallpaper is dry
coat it with a wall tint. If there is

EXPRESS RULES


New reauirsmants OF shippers
via express have been made by the
American Railway Express COM
pany. All shipments sent by ex-
press weighing more than Is
pounds must b packed in wooden
containers or cartons. Of flber
board. pulp board or corrugated
strawboard material Of specified
strength. This means that After
Dec. 10 packages over the 25-
pound limit viii not Be accepted
for forwarding BY the express cpnE

administration, this company han
dies the express business of the
entire country. These regulations
do not Affect shipments Of lesS

may be packed in other than tho
specified boxes.

advising express shippers to- study
the new rules. which have been
approved by the United States
railroad administration. so that
they may be able to adjust their
packing methods to the forthcom-
ing new standards.
Regular shippers will not be
mystified by the new regulations.
as they follow very closely the
packing requirements long In
vogue in the freight service. The
express regulations. however, allow
. little more latitude In the size OF
the carton used. The enforcement.
OF the new rules was postponed
until Dec. 10 so that shippers would
have plenty of time to prepare
themselves for. this change In ex-
press packing standards.
Better for Shippers.
Agent Black expressed the opin-
lon that these new rules will not
work any hardship on shippers. but
should operate distinctly in their
interest, as the rules will provide
additional safeguards for merchan,
disc in transit. Moreover, they will
establish uniformity Of express
packing rules which heretofore
fave been lacking. The new order
