SAFE CHRISTMAS MAIL

1t certainly will not be Uncle Sans fault if
Christmas gifts go astraS He is giving ample warm
ing of the need to wrap carefully, address accurately
and mail early.
The post office department has been studying
the Christmas mail problem for year and has now
issued its findings in pamphlet form for the benefit Of
gift senders The yearly loss from improper wrapping
packing of mailed articles into millions of dol
lars Yet the rules to be followed exceedingly
simple and would to be only matter of
e mon
Fragile articles need not only protective cushion
ing about them but need also be placed in strong
containers. Loose articles wrapped in single pack
age should be firmly tied together that they will
not shift back and forth inside the bundle Strong
tough wrapping paper should always be used, kind
that is pliable and yet easily punctured
Twne should be strong firmly and tightly tied, and
lznotted at each crossing to prevent slipping.

SHUTTING DOWN ON BOOZE

Home wine and saeramental wine are hit naId by
the latest prohibition rulings. in hotp cases, the
public is surprised at what has been genG o3a.
Most citizens have realized the extent Of le-
giti1natized home manufacture Of wines There seem
to hive been hundreds of thousands of permits to make
Vine for domestic in lots up 200 gallons Some
of these permits issued before the prohibition
era and some since. California alone is said to have
had 1000 of them. Now they all cancelled and
presumably flood of intoxicating quors abolished
AS for sacramental wines, it is reported that deal
ers in such goods have agreed to down the guam
tty handled to the extent of 81 per cent, which
ets that the sacramenta idea has been carried pretty
far.
These are two moves in what is obviously gen.
er4l effort to tighten up dry enforcement. That is
Well 1t is now or never, far prohibition is

fails then there may be big demand that the restrc

NEW MAINE BOOKLET.
maine, the Land of Remembered
Vacations

The first of the series Of booklets
which the State is publishing from
the appropriation made by the legis-
lature last winter, is now being dis
tributed by the State of Maine Pub
Lefty Bureau and through various
channels.
The booklet contains sixty-eight
pages full of detailed and compre-
hensive information concerning the
State, and is unquestionably one Of
the best that has ever been issued adj
vertising the State Of Maine.
The front and back covers are
titled maine the Land of Remem-
bered Vacations" The front cover
shows a seacOast scene, and is given
the official atmosphere by having the
State seal in the lower left-hand
corner. The back cover shows an in
land lake scene, with the mountains
in the background.
On the first inside page is an
illustrated map showing in carica-
ture the various forms of recreation
and amusement that are open to the
summer tourist. This page is unique
in itself and is one of the best
illustrations of its kind that has ever
appeared. This page is titled,
'Maine the Summer Playground of
the Nation. :"
On page two, is a layout of the
book, telling what it contains, and on
page three is the message, maine
Invites YOU with story on the
States manifold attractions At
the foot of the page is statement
that further information regarding
the agricultural and industrial OPP
portunities of the State will be sup
piled on request by the Information
Bureau, Secretary of the State at
Augusta.
The general text matter in the
book not only contains the informa-
tion that the previous booklet
''Maine Vacationland the Year
Round" contained, which was pre-
pared by Harrie B. Coe, general
secretary of the State of Maine Pub
licity Bureau in collaboration with
Arthur G. Staples, of the Lewiston
Journal, a member of the Bureaus
Publicity Committee, but also has
many additional features.
The booklet describes the various
resort sections of the State, and is
divided into three parts. Pages one
to twenty-four are devoted to sea-
coast, pages twenty-four to forty
eight to the interior lake country,
with the exception of the two center
pages which are devoted to a map.
This map is one of the most unique
yet issued, and the explanation there
on states that it has been prepared
only to enable the readers of the
booklet to locate the cities and towns
of the State.
All map details, such as highways,
transportation lines, etc, have been
omitted so as to avoid confusion. In
order that the places on the map may
be quickly located by the stranger, it
has a side index of letters ard top
and bottom index of numbers and
the key to the map is printed in the
back of the book.

pages fifty to sixty-seven is devoted
