Will you go homo todny and take

"Our postmnstor has asked us to

wook, for, unless wo do Undo Snm's
load may bo so heavy tho Inst fow

Tho parcols must bo woll wrnppod
and Mod and addressed plainly In
order that thoy may arrlvo In good
condition with tholr Chrlslmusy tip-
penrnnco unspoiled. You can put
on your packages, "Do not opon until

2,000,000 hnlf-nddrcssed lottors
with tho 40,000,000 fully nddrcBsed

Justllko tho Inrger boys nnd girls

"As oil becomes cold, It thickens,
