Some of our exchanges will get
themselves into trouble one of these
days by violating the postal laws in
reference to mailing advertising
matter alonz with their paper. A
hand bill with the word "supplement"
or "extra" at the top is by no means
sufficient. A supplement is part and
parcel of the paper itself, similar in
nature, an overflow, so to speak,
more news or advertisements, or
both, thas could be got into the
regular issue of the paper. The
custom of printing a few hundred
baud-bills at poster rotes and "cal
ling them a supplement does not
make thm such. The advertise
ments inserted in a supplement are
necessarily uniform in price with
those in the regular issue of the
paper. Any other use of the mails is
a traud on the government.

duties. The pledge, ,JI will try to be
kind to all harmless living creatures,
and try to protect them from cruel
usage," was repeated and remarks
made upon it by M. Brugger. Some
member then reported about cases of
cruelty witnessed since last meeting.
The wearing of the badge was recom
mended by the chairman, and the
wish was repeated that gome grown
fo!k3 would organize a humane as
sociation as a branch of the Nebraska
state society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals, so that we little
folks could report to them. Selec
tions were then read by several mem

Larks" (from the Animal World,
organ of the English B. of M.) was
beautifully rendered by Miss Foster.
Undoubtedly some of the seeds of
kindness then and there sown will

Mr. Geo. V. Willing, of Manches
ter, Mich., writes : "My wife has been
almost helpless for live years, so help
less that she could not turn over in
bed alone. She used two Bottles of
Electric Bitters and is so much im
proved, that she is able now to do
her own work."
Electric Bitters will do all that is
claimed for them. Hundreds of tes
timonials attest their great curative
powers. Only fifty cents a bottle at
