such incompetent person or of the conservator of the property of such

conservatee, authorize him to advertise for creditors and other persons

interested in such estate, to present to him their claims with the

vouchers thereof, duly verified, and naming a post-office address at

which papers may be served on them by mail, as hereinafter provided, on

or before a day to be specified in such advertisement, not less than

thirty days from the last publication thereof, which advertisement or

notice shall be published in two newspapers to be designated by the

court as most likely to give notice to the persons to be served, not

less than once a week for four successive weeks, and a copy of such

notice securely inclosed in a post-paid wrapper, shall be deposited in

the post-office in the village or city where such committee or

conservator resides, addressed to each person interested in the estate

of such incompetent person or conservatee who shall appear from the

books or papers of such incompetent person or conservatee to be

interested in said estate, or who shall be known to said committee or

conservator to be so interested, at the proper post-office address of

such interested person, so far as said committee or conservator shall be

able to ascertain the same, at least thirty days prior to the time

limited in such notice for presentation of such claims.
