Continues to Disregard Uncle Sam's
Ordara Governing Postal Cards,
•fhe public still continues to throw
good money away. Tn spite of tho1
fact that the new postal regulations

TK W
Ottumwa, Iowa.
have been given such wide spread pub
liclty, the people apparently pay little^,
or no heed to the new rulings of the
postmaster general.
Postmaster Fred Wilson wishes to
call special attention to the following
clause of the new regulations: "Cards
bearing particles of glass, metal, mica,
sand, tinsel or any other similar sub
stances are unmallable, except when'
enclosed in' envelopes."
This class of card still keeps rolling
into the local post office from the en
thusiastic promoters of the fatal dis
ease, postalcarditis, and attention is
once more called to the fact that is is
useless to mail such cards unless en
closed as per tae above clause.*
