"Algie is gone. He left Wednes-

But alas, poor Algie! His fate
never became known to the in
terested party. Caroline forgot the
new postage rate increase and
placed only a 1-cent stamp on the
picture card carrying the message.
Hundreds Of such cards are in the
Indianapolis postoffice according to
Postmaster Robert H. Bryson. They
are held for sufficient postage and If
this is not provided, they are de.
stroyed.
Police chiefs recently attending
the International convention at In
dianapolis, will be back home agin
before newspapers they sent to the
folks arrive.
An ordinary newspaper is usually
heavy enough to require about
cents postage If mailed by an in
dividual other than a publisher,
Bryson said. Seventy-f1ve per cent
of the newspapers mailed by persons
are destroyed. If postage can be
obtained from the sender or the ad-
dressee they reach their destination.

Cox also must detect contraband
mail matter which cannot be mailed

the mails. His duties combine those
Of a detective, narcotic agent, pro-

1t is said of Cox that he has a
wonderful capacity for detecting
liquor In the mail.
Whisky has a peculiar sound, in

used to have lots Of it come through

Alligators, grasshoppers, chickens,

try to mail, Cox said. Only day-old
chicks and queen bees can be mailed

occasionally something else gets
through, Cox said.
Recently a box of grasshoppers
was sent to a man near Rochester,
Ind, evidently as fishing bait.
Among other contraband matter are
fireworks, or any explosives, in
toxicating liquor, narcotics, alligat-
ors and old chickens.
Recently a suit case arrived at
the postoffice, properly mailed, cor
rectly addressed and wrapped. The
addressee refused to accept 1t. The
sender when notified, refused to send
postage for its return. The suit case
was found to contain mems clothing.
In such cases, Cox said, the pack

Cincinnati, Ohio. where u is kept
twelve months, the sender Is again
notified and If postage cannot be OBJ
tanned, it is sold at public auction.

Hereafter, instead of soda take a
little Phillips Milk Of Magnesia" in
water any time for indigestion or

will come instantly.
For fifty years genuine Phillips
Milk of Magnesia" has been pre-
scribed by physicians because it over
