HAD SUFFERED FOR YEARS
WITH RHEUMATISM
Tried many remedies-Simple
home treatment brought relief

A sufferer from acute rheumatism for
many years, Winchester, N. H.,
man at last found that he could al
ways get rid Of the pain, and relieve
the swelling and stiffness by a simple
home treatment.
"After trying various remedies"
he writes, "Sloan's Liniment was
recommended to me, and it stopped
the pain"
What is the reason for these re-.
markable results?
Simply that Sloan's doesn't just
deaden the nerves. 1t stirs up your
own forces to get rid of the conditions
that are causing the pain.
Apply lightly without rubbing, and
at once you'll feel the comforting
warmth as fresh, healing blood begins
circulating through the affected spot.
The stiff, swollen tissues relax, the
inflammation goes down, the pain
stops, and soon you feel normal again.
Get a bottle today and have it on hand.

package. As the parcels are placed
in sacks and there sacks piled in
cars as high as the roof of the car,
it must always be remembered that
ones own package may be at the
bottom of an eight foot pile of mail.
Packages must not be sealed in any
way as this automatically makes a
first class parcel of the package and
rates are levied accordingly. No
Christmas seals. il was reported may
be used on the address side of any
parcel or letter and such sealed
parcels or letters will be dead let
tered and will not reach their des
tination, Erwin warned.
TinseI Cards Must BE Enclosed
Another phase Of the problems
which are meeting the local office
is evident with the fact that greet
ing cards bearing tinsel on their
surfaces must positively be enclosed
in an envelope. Investigation has
proved that any cuts on postal en-
ployees hands are liable to infection
from the glass in the tinsel adorn-
ments and a strict rule has been
laid down by the main department
prohibiting the handling of such
cards if not enclosed. At the present
time five cards intended for people
in Germany are resting on the post
masters desk with a waste basket
as the probable destination because
of failure to observe this rule. Post
master Erwin is making an effort
to locate the senders of the cards
but 1t is improbable that they will
be found.
Card Time Limit Dec. %
r. The practice of sending greeting
cards has been expanded each year,
the post master states. He wants
it emphasized that It must be re-
membered that such cards mailed
one day will not reach their desti-
nations the next and cards should
be mailed no later than Wednesday,
Dec. 22nd. Also, when small greet
ings cards are sent it is advisable to
enclose them in regulation envelopes
as it is extremely hard for postal
eHlplDytcS W IdIulc tASllli CdSll
small card necesstating special at
tention and possessing tendencies of
becoming lost in the sorting and de-
livery.
1t is also brought to New Brit
antics attention that the officials at
the post office cannot look up pack
ages during the Christmas rush. 1t
has been the practice Of many per-
sons to call by phone or in person
at the post office and ask if the en-
ployes can locate a single package.
This, Postmaster Erwin states, is i'm
possible as even though the mail is
sorted, the piles themselves become
so voluminous as to make the search
impossible.
Arrangements are being made
whereby the postal force will be
increased so as to insure a clean up
of the office each day. Two men will
be assigned to eacn delivery truck
and the inside force at the main Of
flee will be increased as the rush
swells. The post offices aim is to
cooperate with the public towards
giving them the best service that
has ever been given New Britain
and 1t is towards this end that they
are appealin gto residents to observe
the rules and to insure a clean
sweep of Christmas mail by Decem-
Der rs at noon.
