Rules Cited By Postmaster
Concerning Overseas Mailing

Mrs. Elizabeth D. Hensley, act
ing postmaster of West Jeffer-
son, announced yesterday that
new regulations have been re-
ceived by all post offices regard
ing the mailing of letters and
packages to men overseas, and
furnished a brief summary of the
laws which will no doubt be of
interest to the families of men in
service.
The War Department has in
formed the Post Office Depart
ment that in view of the heavy
demands being made on cargo
space for military shipments, and
because of the limited facilities
available to commanders of thea
tres of operations for delivery of
mail, the volume Of mail to over
seas destinations must be kept to
a minimum.
No parcel exceeding fiv e
pounds in weight, Is inches in
length, or SO inches in length and
girth combined, shall be accept
ed by post offices for dispatch to
overseas destinations. Only such
articles as are specifically re-
quested by the service men over
seas, and this request approved
in writing by his commanding Of
ficer, will be accepted.
TndiviAual copies of newspa-
pers or magazines shall be &C
cepted for mailing to overseas
post offices only where the sub
scriptions are requested in writ
ing, or those now in effect. No
third class matter can be mailed
at all.
V-mail will be transmitted,
! either when micro filmed or in
its original form. when airplane
facilities are available for trans
pCrtation to A. P. O.'s overseas.
Letters prepaid at the airmail
rate of 6 cents per half ounce
will continue to be transported
to the port of embarkation, but
no assurance is given by the
War Department that such letters,
other than V-Mail, will be dis
patched by airplane from those
points to localities overseas Serv-
ed by V-Mail.
Men overseas desiring to re-
quest the mailing of parcels to
them will be required to include
in their request the general des-
cription of the article requested:
the grade or rating of his service
status, the complete address, and
his signature. This will be pre-
sented by him to his command
er, who will approve it when the
circumstances justify. Parcels
addressed to A. P. O.'s must be
accompanied by the request and
approval as above set forth.
No matter shall be accepted for
mailing as insured, or c. o. d
Valuables shall be refused regis
tration. However, letters contain
ing valuable papers may be reg
istered, though no postal in
demnity will be paid in connect
ion with them. The public is
warned that it is not advisable to
inclose currency in ordinary let
tiers, and the use of money-orders
for remittances is recommended.

To Relieve
Fatigue. Take
A Warm Bath
BY DONNA GRACE

NOW THAT our Christmas
rush is over. it might be a good
time to pay a little attention 10
ourselves. we're that tired, Ger
tainly, we enjoyed the excite
ment of it all, but it's time now
to start picking up the pieces.
There is nothing quite so com
forting as a luxurious bath. 1t
should be quite warm and full
of the very best salts or bubbles
we have. Some of the fine bubble
baths soften the water while
covering the tub with billowy
rainbow colored foam.
A pound or so of EPSON salts
added TO the water will do a lot
10 relieve tired muscles and
relax fatigue lines in the face.
Powdered Starch
II is the time of the year, too.
when one is conscious of the
effect of cold on sensitive skin.
This irritation will frequently
cause itching. Powdered starch
in the bath helps to relieve this.
For severe itching. use Moth
ing but the starch in the bath
W "A ter and instead of drying
wrap up in large Turkish tow
els and cover up in bed until
dry. An application of pctro-
leum jelly is always soothing,
too.
Pay special attention 10 the
lips while indulglng in this re-
cuperating bath. When colds
are prevalent, one may avoid
the annoyance of cold sores with
a thorough application of soap
lather. 1t acts as a counter
irritant to fever sores.
Soap Mask
Make a thick soap mask for
the neck and diScolored hands.
Massage il gently into the skin
but let this be quick operation.
Always rinse at once TO remove
all soap film, dry quickly and
apply a soothing cream. Cleans
ing cream is best after washing.
When this is removed, massage
Gre a m $ and lotions may be
pattcd on.
Always plan on q good rest
IN bed after warm baths of this
kind One should never bath in
warm water before going out in
the cold. II IS better to take
such treatments al night and 90
