WAIL PACKAGES BY [3TH OF THIS MONFH. cannot Be Assured of Delivery' il Forwarded Later Postmaster Herbert E. Erwin in setting down the rules which should govern Christmas*malling this year, | wants it particulaply stressed that parcels mailed during the week of December 13, are insured of deliv- ery while packages mailed later than that date are, in case of a storm or other unsee forces, liable to niiss being delivered at their destination on or before Christmas Day. Packages giled during the week of December 13, may be mark ed “Do Not Open Until Christma; on the back of the parcel. Packages or letters must not carry seals on the front. ‘The local office has prepared for | the flux of holiday mail for the last three months and with the coming week, officlals at the building forsee a rush which will surpass past years in its intensity. There will he ope window for stamps, two windows for the rating and weighing of parcels and two windows for 4n- surance service on pacl@ges. year the post office department has been granted one delivery on Christ- man Day, activities terminating at roon on December 25. What win- dows will be open and the hours for thelr service at the main build- ing has not yet been determined but further announcements will be made governtng this feature. Wrap 'Em Up Well Special stress has always been laid to the wrapping of the packages and this year, Postmaster Erwin p for cooperation between the depart- ment av4 local residents who are mailing¥ packages. Parcels must be malled in a secure box or wrapped in heavy paper and tied with deavy twine. Mr. Erwin states that it has always been the custom for mallers to buy an article and to mafl it'in the wrappings in which it was delivered from the store. He states further that such w will positively not stand the stra which is given each holiday Rheumatism the enemy of advancing years HAD SUFFERED FOR YEARS WITH RHECMATISH Tried many remedies—Simple home treatment brought relief A sufferer from acute rheumntlsm for many years, a Winchester, N. H., man at last found that he could al- ‘ways get rid of the , and relieve the swelling and stiffness by a simple home treatment. “After trying various remedics,” 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. It stirs up your own forces to get rid of the conditions that are causing the pain. Apply lightly vithout rubbing, and at once you'll feel the comforting ‘warmth as fresh, healing blood I)cgws circulating tHrough the affected spot., The stiff, swollen tissucs relax, the inflammation goes down, the pain stops, and soon you feel normeal again. Getabottletoday and haveit on hand. All druggists—35 cents, This | ds | carton, | | package. As tho 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 one's 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 No rates are levied accordingly. Christmas seals, it was reperted may ! | be used on the gudress 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. Tinsel 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 em- 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 Gerrhany are resting on the post- | master's 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 it is improbable that they will be found. Card Time Limit Dec. 2 The practice of cards has been expanded cach year, | He wants | that it must be re- | cards mailed | the post master states. it emphasized membered that such ong day will not reach their desti- | nations the next and cards should be mailed no later than Wednesday, nd. Also, when small greet- | ings cards are sent it is advisable to enclose them in regulation envelopes extremely hard for postal employees to handle them, each small card necessitating special at- tention and po: ng tendencies of becoming lest in the sorting and de- livery. It is also brought to New Brit- anites' attention that the officials at the post office cannot look up pack- | ages during the Christmas rush. It | bas been the praclice of many per- sons to call by phone or in person | at the post office and ask if the em- s can locate a single package. Postmaster Erwin states, is im- sible as even though the mail is sorted, the piles themselves become 50 voluminous as to make the search ements are being made the postal force will be 4 so as to Insure a clean up ice each day. Two men will ned to eacn delivery truck | and the insido force at the main of- | fice will be increased swells, The post office’s aim is to cooperate with the public towards giving them the best service that has ever been given New Dritain and it is towards this end that the lin gto residents to observe and to insure a ciean sweep of Christmas mail by Decer- ber 25 at noon. of the of Posed as Man for Whole Year; Woman Unmasked M#&ndan, N.
