< WRAP UP HOLIDAY PARGELS SECURELY Post Oftice Gives Early Warning of Mail Regulations Because of the prosperous times and the abnormal salaries being paid to workingmen of today, preparations are being made at the local post of- fice for the handling of the large amount of Christmas mail, packages and other postal matter. People will be more generous with presents this year than in the preceding vears, it is believed, and also it must be borne in mind that many of the young men from this city are in service in for- eign lands which will necessitate the sending of presents through the mail. In preparation for this flow of post- age matter which is to go through the local office it would be well for the sender to comply with the sug- gestions which are stated in this arti- cle. If instructions are followed in- convenience to all parties will be off- set to a great extent. Preference will be given to articles that are prop- erly wrapped and prepared. The fol- lowing advice is issued by the post office department: “It is necessary that all parcels be heavily wrapped. This precaution be- ing taken due to the tremendous welight and pressure which the par- cels must be subject to under other postage matter en route. 'Poisons and NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1917, intoxicants wil be prohibited as wm'Year" and “Merry Christmas” may be also be inflammable materials, such as parlor matches and other friction- able goods. Compositions liable to kill or injure or in any manner dam- age mail matter will also be strictly prohibited. “A package weighing 20 pounds or a fraction over may be dispatched at the rate of 12 cents per pound. In connection with the weight people are urged to make packages as small as possible, it being well if 10 pounds should not be exceeded. Acceptance of the request will mean that a greater number of people can be ac- commodated, preference being also given to packages of lighter weight. Parcels of printed books weighing less than eight ounces may be sent at the minimum rate of one cent for two ounces or a fraction more. All parcels of this origin in excess of eight ounces will go at the original rate of 12 cents. Perishable matter will not be accepted unless it is made ab- solutely certain that it will not spoil in six weeks. Such delicacies ag cakes, plum pudding, etc., should be securely put up in tin containers, “It has been found at different times that people are trying to avoid buying postage stamps by placing Red Cross stamps on letters and parcels. Any mail received without proper stamping conditions will be classed as unmailable, also parcels must not be sealed and nothing but the stamp and address must be put on the front of the letter or package. “The sender must write his name and address in the upper left hand corner of the letter on the front. No other inscriptions are to be allowed on the front. Such inscriptions as “With Best Wishes,” “Please Do Not Open Until Christma: ‘Happy New inscribed on the back of the article. “These postage rates apply only to mail that is to be transmitted to the boys in the American expeditionary forces, but the suggestions apply to all mail matter whether domestic or foreign. “Notice has been received that sol- diers and other enlisted men at Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass.,, and other mili- tary encampments throughout the country have received packages which contained perishable articles which have been sent to them in deplorable condition, in some cases the condition being such that the parcel was re- celved practically without paper. Therefore more care should be exer- cised in wrapping and tying packages that contain perishable articles. Heavy paper should be applied and strong string should be used in tying. «“Special notice should be given to the following: ‘Every parcel must be wrapped and packed as to admit of casy inspection by the postmaster. No parcel will be despatched which has not the certificate of the postmaster that it contains no prohibited arti- cles.'” VIGOROUS PROSECUTION. McAdoo Calls Upon Bankers to Fur- nish Names of Intimidators. Washington, Oct. 19.—Vigarous prosecution is in store for all persons who are seeking to defeat the Lib- erty Loan, Secretary McAdoo an- nounced in a telegram published to- day. He also announced that he had called upon bankers for the names of any persons attempting to intimidate them in connection with the subsecrip- tions to the loan. This step was taken as a result of reports from bankers in various parts Records How the heart of Strauss would swell with joy could he hear Maria Barrientos—the most L "\'\ sensational of all 7, o immortal Spring I o) = Al 222 hits.

Both the treasury department and the department of justice are today bending all their energies toward the apprehension and punishment of pro- German workers who are engaged in a campaign in a dozen or more states to defeat the loan. Reports to the treasury today in- dicate that efforts to defeat the loan had failed. Moreover, latest official figures, which are up to the close of business on October 17, show sub- scriptions of $827,174,660, an in- crease of about $127,000,000 over the previous day. FABER COLLAPSED Fellow Player Says Series Hero Re- tained Iron Nerve Until Game Was ‘Won—Herzog Does Right Thing. Albany, Oct, 19.—That Urban Fa- ber, who pitched the White Sox to victory over the Giants in the decid- ing game of the world’s series at New York on Monday, collapsed in the clubhouse immediately after the con- test was the statement made by Mel ‘Wolfang, one of the Chicago pitch- ers yesterday. Wolfgang makes his home here. “It was a great strain, but all the boys had the nerve to go through with it,” said Wolfgang. “Faber, who pitched that last game for us, walked off the flield as cool and composed as though he were going to church, but just as soon as he got in the club- house he collapsed.. His jaw dropped, his knees sagged and he fell into the arms of some of the fellows. That showed how great the strain on some of the boys really was. “Capt. Herzog of the New York club made a big hit with the White Sox. After the deciding game Her- zog shook hands with every member of our club and said:- ‘Out there I was ready to do anything to beat you fellows. But I am ready to give you all the credit in the world right now. You are good sportsmen and I cer- tainly hope you hold no hard feeling toward me.” IT'S CAPT. SHEPPARD NOW. Former Irish-American A.
