Section 1723. Avoidance of postage by using lower class matter

      Matter of the second, third, or fourth class containing any
    writing or printing in addition to the original matter, other than
    as authorized by law, shall not be admitted to the mails, nor
    delivered, except upon payment of postage for matter of the first
    class, deducting therefrom any amount which may have been prepaid
    by stamps affixed, unless by direction of a duly authorized officer
    of the Postal Service such postage shall be remitted.
      Whoever knowingly conceals or incloses any matter of a higher
    class in that of a lower class, and deposits the same for
    conveyance by mail, at a less rate than would be charged for such
    higher class matter, shall be fined under this title.
