CONDENSED MILK
ALLOWED THROUGH THE POST
REGULATIONS AS 'TO PACKING.
The Postmaster-General (the Light Hon. Sir Joseph Ward) announces that the proper outer covering tor tins ol condensed milk dispatched to soldiers oversea is a second box of wood, metal, or strong and thick leather. But in order to enable the postage to be as low as possible, the Minister will raise no objection to light absorbent material m sufficient quantity being tautened around tho tins of condensed milk by other means, on tho supposition that a thick, viscous liquid, such as condensed milk, if escaping into soft, absorbent packing, will probably not leak so far ns to cause damage’to other packets in tho mail. This will certainly mean tho prohibition of posting tins of milk of the present weight at tho 4d rate of postage. But the condensed, milk, being of local manufacture, no doubt can be put up in smaller tins. This concession will subsist so long as there is no occasion to raise the objection that tho packing is insufficient, or so long as any othe. postal administration does not object.
