How a Letter May Be Recalled
Many times people would like
to recall a letter after ic has been
mailed. This can.be done, even
fthe letter has reached the post-
office at its destination. At every
postoffice there are what 1s called
| owithdrawal blanks.� On applica-
tion they will be furnished and,
whenT deposit is made to cover
the expense, the postmaster will
telegraph to the postmaster at
the letterTs destination asking
that it be promptly returned. The
applicant first sigus this agree-
ment: °o[t is hereby agreed that,
if the letter is returned to me, I
\
will protect you from any and all
claims made against you for such
return and will fully indemnify
you for any Icss you may sustain
by reason for such action. And
I herewith deposit ¢" to cover all
expenses incurred and will deliv"
ér to you the envelope of the let-
ter returned.� In many cases
persons have made remittances to
fraudulcnt parties or irresponsi-
ble firms, not learning their true
character untal after the letter had
gone, and have succeeded 1n re-
calling them. There isan instance
where a Kansas City merchant
had remitted a disnonest trayel-
ing mana draft for $175 and by
means of a withdrawal rescued the
draft just in time."Globe Demo-

of his illness and then looked wise.
Taking a pad from the table, he
wrote a prescription calling for
bread pills and distilled water or
something of that sort. Then, turn-

oT cannot see that anything serious
is the matter with you. What you
need is plenty of air'TT"
The patient smiled a broad, bland
smile, but said nothing. e
oTake this prescription regularly
every night, but above all things
get plénty of air. Good, wholesome
outdoor atmosphere, that is what
you need more than anything else.�T
