The amount ia immediately credited to kia aeeount and a bank book ia mailed to him. ' Withdrawals may be made by mail just as conveniently. The safest ways to send cash are to register the letter or to remit by post-office post-office money order, expreaa money order, bank eheek or draft; but if aay of theea ways ara not convenient, the cash may be inclosed in. the letter ia the ordinary way.
