ment than these securities.
 Quite recently Postmaster Murphy's attention was called to man who was urged to invest several thousand dollars of his savings in questionable oil sacuri- ties. The man invested in the oil con cern and now after tardy Investigation Is endeavoring t3 get his money back. Had he invested his money in government securities 1t would now be safe.
 Mir. Murphy again urges the public manufacturers stores and other busiress houses to mail their letters and packages as early in the day as possible Many of fees and stores make It a practice to hold their mail until late lin the, af CT noon before it is placed in the boxes or gests that tie mail be dropped in the boxes two or three times a day. during the forenoon. at noon and the remainder of the mail in the afternoon, as son as it Is ready.
 This not only greatly lightens the load at the post office but also insures delivery some twenty -four hours earlier than usual. This is true of city mail, which if mailed during tre morning hours will go out in the afternoon mail It is also true of western mail. Mail matter which reaches the postoffice after 6 D. m. does not go out until the boat train goes through which is :45 and con sequently does not reach New York until the next morning.
 As a rule nearly all the southern and western mail trains leave New York be- tween and 12 o'clock. ConseqGentIy | the mall is held in New York until the | following evening. Therefore 1t reache.
