'BABY'BONDS ARE
SELLING RAPIDLY
IN HARRISBURG
Mail Carriers Pleased With
Results After Three
Days' Work
I
Letter carriers, city and rural, will
be the prime missionaries in selling
"baby" bonds and thrift, cards for
the government campaign to raise
a new war fund of $2,000,000,000, is
the opinion of Postmaster Frank C.
Sites who stated .this morning that
the sales had been heavier than
was expected. Coupled with this
ihe government will depend greally
on newspaper publicity, for tt.e pub
lic appears to be singularly ignorant
of the value of the investment. More
than $2,000 of tlie bonds have been
sold, it was said.
"When the vast population of this
country understands accurately," de
clared Mr. Sites, "I am of opinion
that this system will become sp popu
lar that it will be permanent. Tlie
Liberty Bond campaign had a hard
time getting started, but when the
public appreciated what a splendid
investment it is the campaign fairly
whirled. Of course it was patriotic
in the people to support this so
liberally but X would not cal it a
sacrifice by any means. Financial
men understood instantly that it was
a superb investment and the poorer
population will pretty soon see that
this one is equally good.
"The mail carriers were jubilant
to-day for they had already begun
to arouse the people along their
various routes. These men are all
enterprising and they know every
man, woman and child, so that their
canvassing will go right to the spot.
I predict that the baby bond will
become tremendously popular, lor
with the thrift card, it fills a long
felt want, the ready and lucrative
means to save small sums. It is also
likely that many persons of means
will buy the limit, SI,OOO worth. N'o
one can purchase more than SIOO
worth at one time, but there is noth
ing to hinder a man from patron
izing various localities until he has
accumulated to tlie value of $1 000
Even this, however, will not prevent
the poor man from getting his share
All Harrlsburg mail carriers were
provided with supplies of stamps
yesterday and sold them widely."
Greatest precautions have been
taken to insure and protect buyers
of these certificates from loss. They
are issued in the name of the owner,
his or her name and address being
written into it. To protect the
owner in case It should be lost or
stolen, provision is made by which
the certificate can be registered.
When this is done, it is payable only
at the particular post office where
registered. Upon giving evidence ot
the loss of a registered war savings
certificate, the owner shall be envitleo
1o receive payment of the amoun
lor which it shall have been register
cd. The amount which can
registered is, of course, the sum or
sums which have been paid on it
that is from $4.12 up to $84.40.
In case one is lost and found the
liama and address serve to carry It
safely back to the owner. All post
masters are required to take even
means to get lost certificates back
to the rightful owners. The regis
tration right makes it absolutel •
certain that no one can lose a c£.r
tificate and thereby auvtsMn loss. And
registration givo? no more trou' le
than to go to the nearest post office
and have the stamps canceled and
the certificate reg.stered. Then nil
risks are 11 Prv !e S^ni.

I WAS SCARCELY
ABLE TO BE ABOUT
"Was Miserable Night
and Day."
Says M. 1.. Collins. 1118 Cumberland
St., Harrisburg, "I was bothered with
bad headache which made me mis
erable night and day.
"I often had nervous and dlzzy
spells ami many sleepless nights, it
was a dreadful condition to be in.
"My stomach gave me a lot of
1 rouble with gas and nervous indi
gestion, no food agreed with me.
"I wits so worn out that I was
scarcely able to be about, and this
state of affairs had me worried.
"I had heard a lot about Sanpan,
and decided to try it, and in a short
lime it drove out my ailments.
"My headaches left, nerves got
steady, could sleep well, my stomach
got fine and food agreed with me
and everything came out great."
Sanpan is being introduced at
Keller's Drug Store, 405 Market
St., Harrisburg, where the Sanpan
man is meeting the people.—Adv.
