Pre-payment by stamps. is required on all letters to places within the United States at the rate of three cents per half ounce or fraction thereof.
Letters insufficiently stampod are returned to the, writer, if known; for the additional postage ; otherwise they are forwarded and the amount due collected on delivery.
38
DES MOINES DIRECTORY.
Letters not pre-paid by stamps, those bearing stamps cut from stamped envelopes, or revenue stamp hvor such stamps as were in use prior to 1861, are treated as "unmailable" and unless the ;writers are known are sent to the Dead Letter Office
Full pre-payment by stamps is required bo all' transient printed mat ter, foreign and domestic.
All drop letters must be pre-paid by postage stamps.
Letters addressed to initaly, and fictitious persons or firme, are not deliverable.
Packages containing poisons, explosive chemicals, oils liquids of any kind, or anything liable to injure or endanger the safety of the mails, will; not be received.
Valuable letters should in all cases be registered ; when money is designed to be sent, money orders lar 'drafts should, if practicable, be procured. Money should never menclosed in an ordinary letter. ^ ^Iletters bearing a request to return to the writer if finclaimed with- in thirty days or less, written or prijted, with the writer's name, . post- office and State across the left-Hand side of the envelope, will be so returned fee of postage.| This precaution is recommended as a certain and early means of recovering valonllenletters not delivered, fand also of knowing whether letters are received by the persons to whom they are addressed.
Letters are "forwarded? to any place in the United States without additional postage, but neither newspapers to regular subscribers; or transient printed matter, can be re mailed, or forwarded without pre- payment at transient rates.
Any written communication in or upon any newspaper, magazine,. pamphlet or other printed matter sent in the mail subjects the package to letter postage, and the person sending the same to a severe penalty.
OFFICE RULES.
Box-rents form a part of the postal revenue, and, therefore are not, as supposed by many, the postmaster's individual perquisites. They are by law payable in advance at the beginning of each quarter, and hence; forth must be paid accordingly. Otherwise they will be held and declar-) ed "VACANT." All the mail matter in one- box must be taken out by one party - using the same !! Persons having boxes are hereby cautioned to have their letters and papers addressed to the care of the same. This precaution is necessary, as the. `large and rapidly increasing number of boxes occupied, and the great number of persons of the same and similar names, using different boxes, renders it impossible for clerks to make accurate distribution, unless the box is indicated. Therefore box-holders are warned that if they neglect to have their mail addressed to their proper boxes, this office will not be responsible for placing it in the "General Delivery."
DES MOINES DIRECTORY.

Clerks are instructed to deliver mail matter from boxes only to per- sons renting the same, or upon their written order, or to those known to ' be authorized to receive It

The rules of this office made in parisance of instructions from the Post Office Department, positively forbid persons not in ite emplofor officially connected with the mail service, from coming within the mail- ing onidistributing rooms, except upon special business with the Postmas- ter, and it is hoped that no one, whatever his position or intimacy with the Postmaster or clerks, still attempt to violate these rules.
MONEY ORDER DEPARTMENT. .
The money order system presents a safe, cheap and convenient method of transmitting; (mall' sums through the mails. [ It is not the design of the system to facilitate the financial transactions of the mer- cantile community by assuming the functions of banks in the furnish. ing of exchange for large sums of money, but to promote the conveni; ence of the general public in the transmission of small sums to all parts of the country. . Orders are limited to $50.00, but additional orders, not, exceeding the aggregate sum of $150.00, can be procured to the same person at the same time."
