XOOK OUT FOB TROUBLE -f-
VIOLATING U. S. LAWS.
We are Infromed that rural mall
carriers find that numerous boxes and
the posts bearing them are covered
with circulars and other advertising
matter and that this Is against the
regulations of tho post ofllce depart-
ment. This is an inconvenience also
to "thecarrlers as their horses are
sliy of the flying paper" and also of the
handbills stuck on tire boxes. It is
called to your attention that an In-
dictment by tho Federal grand jury
would' be a very expensive experience
for you and we suggost that you fight
shy of such .a contingency by finding
a less objectionable place for your cir-
culars and such advertising matter.
Out. of Sight.
"Out tt sight out of mind" Is an old
saying which applies with special force
to a sore burn or- wound that's been
treated with BucUlen's Arnica Salvo.
