WILL HATE TO PAY $10 FINE
FOB POSTAL LAW VIOLATION
The amendment to the postal regu-
lations recently promulgated by Post-
master General Meyer In cases where
mall of a higher cias is sent through
the malls at a lower rate aftccta every
office in the country the Houston offlce
as well as all the rest.
TJnder the old regulations where it
was attempted for Instance to. send
a written letter through tho mails as
a circular the sender was subject to
a fine of ?10. It waa mandatory and
there was no recourse; ignorance on
tho part of the sender being no ex-.
cuse. Under the now regulation tho
penalty Is imposed in only those cases
where tho attempt is "willful" on the
part of tho sender.
Postmaster Strong in discussing tho
hew regulation with a Post represen-
tative yesterday stated that It was a
requirement of. the postal regulations
that the. contents of every unsealed
envelope bo oxamined. It was almost
an every-day occurrence that matter
was found in. such mall which Bhoultl
have been sent under a 2-cent stamp.
It wasa small matter but Uncle-
Sam's mill grinds exceedingly fine.
There was a .deal of red tape in this
matter of a 1-cent stamp. The letter
was sent to the department for an. "In-
vestigation the" department located the
sender and. sent an Inspector out on
the case and tho $10 fine must be
forthcoming.
While postmasters had no authority
in the matter other than to make the.
report to tho department in numbers
and numbers of caseB local postmas-

CURES
OLD SORES
No old sore can heal until the cause which produces it has been removed.
Sxternal applications of salves washes lotions etc. may reduce theiuflam-
-iation and assist in keeping the place clean but cannot cure the trouble
f Decaitse they dojit reach its source. Old sores exist because the blood is
if infected wituimpufuies anu poisons wiiicii are constantly being discharged
Into the plaae. Tip nerves tissues and fibres of the flesh are kept in .a state
of irritatioy and juisease by being daily 'fed with the germ-laden matter
Through the circulation making it impossible for the sore to heal. a. a. b.
kCures chrmicrores by its purifying action on the blood. It goes down into

latters which are responsible for. the failure of the place to heal.

lata took it upon themselves if tho
mall originated In their offlco to send
for tho sender of llio mail and deltvor
a reprimand. II depended much upon
tho circumstances. If tho postmaster
recognized that tho sender was ignor-
ant it was ah extonuatlng circum-
stance and an ndnionlahmont was all
that was doomed necessary '
Much of such character of mallfanld
Mr. Strong was sent through tlio mail
by children and women and of courso
in such cases It was clear that It was
not willful on their part Howover
hero nro many instances in every
office in tli country whoro such mall
is sent Willfully. That tho womon and
children wore not flnod ras not bo-
causo of any mercy granted thom by
tho Jaw It was not oven within tho
province of tho postmaster to show
leniency but pf course tho depart-
ment expects that postmasters shall
oxerclse common sense and not sub
ject Ignorant womqn and chlldron to
th.o harrassment of tho inspectors.
Tho fines collected for violations of
this provision amount to something
like $O0Q0 a year. In thousands of
cases a short note or memorandum
was placed inside n package of mer-
chandise on which postago was paid
at 1 cent an ounce while the wrliten
matter made. It necessary that 2 cents
an ounce should have been paid.
It has been found on investigation
that In approximately 90 per cent Of
these cases tho offense was duo ot
ignorance of tho law and that the col-
lection of the fine usually worked a
hardship to tho very poor especially
when written messages are inclosed in
returning coupons tags and certifi-
cates for premiums.. There were iGOO
of these cases in connection wtthrthe
Jamestown exposition . Investigation
of which showed that all the viola-
tions were committed by children.

Better a light head than a heavy

A little ancient faith 13 worth a lot

Many a man's poor reputation Is
due to his bad Judgment.
A skeptic is a man who doesn't be-
lieve in tho doubts of others.
Don't beat on your' popularity until
the back townships are heard from.
On his wedding day a man should
close his past life and sit on the lid.
No matter how loud a woman dress-
es she imagines she Is dressed artis-
tically. N'o Alonzo a. woman doesn't neces
sarily handle a broom when she makes
sweeping assertion
By 'doing a foolish thing that ter
minated successfully many a man has
found himself in the hero class.
Tho first rung of tho ladder of suc
cess is just beyond a man"s easy
reach but the rest of them come itf
bunches.
And it sometimes happens that a
man is not fully appreciated by his
wife until she collects his life in
surance.
