point. There they are inspected and
wrapped, and the labels attached.
They must be accompanied by enough
stamps to carry them to Hoboken, N.
J., at parcel post rates. The Red Cross
will attend to the mailing.
No box can be mailed to a soldier
or sailor if it contains intoxicants, in-
flammable material of any kind,
liquids, fragile articles, writing or
perishable foodstuffs. The Red Cross
advises any person intending to send
gifts to a soldier to pack food in small
tin or wooden boxes (not glass bot-
tles) and to pack gifts in khaki-
colored handkerchiefs, all to go pack-
ed in the 3x4x9 box. When candy is
sent it should be of the hard kinds
^not soft chocolates that would crush
and soil the other contents).
A different set of regulations is set
forth for the sailors in Uncle Sam’s
navy.
Presents for sailors, if sent by mail,
must be packed in hinged or screw-
topped boxes to facilitate opening agri
inspecting. Weight and size of boxes
are governed by the parcel post regu-
lations. Boxes sent by express are
limited to twenty pounds in weight,
and two cubic feet in volume; they
must be of wood, securely strapped
with hinged or screw top.
All mailed packages should be ad-
dressed as provided by the postal
regulations. Express packages should
be addressed in care of the Supply
