We would suggest that those who have not a case in which to carry them should paste the slip o11 a bit of muslin or linen, placing un- der a smooth, heavy weight until perfectly dry. Then trim off the edges neatly and they will be found to be much better able to with- stand rough usage and will probably last until the need for them is past. Should a certificate be lost it the number contained on the upper right-hand corner is sent to the Central Registrar a new one may be obtained but it is desirable that the original certificate be made to last out.
