In using bottles these two hints
ought to be so borne In mind that the
practice Of them becomes habitual:
Always keep the label uppermost
when pouring from bottle, so that If
any liquid trickles down the side the
label misses 1t. Result-your labels
keep clean and legible for much longer.
Secondly, If you want to deliver

MONTHLY MEETING
Money is Needed by the Organ
ization for Its Good
Work.

AT the monthly meeting Of the directors
of the Young Mems Christian Association
held last evening, the following were
present: President T. Give Davies. Vice
President ]. p. Cooke, Messrs. A. b.
Wood, C. H. Cooke, c. II. Atherton,
Theodore Richards, Edgar Wood. r. II.
Trent was elected d member of the board
and was also elected to the post of Re
cording Secretary, to succeed J. NJ.
Moore, who is now in Chicago studying
to prepare himself for Association work.
The question of fitting up room in
the second story of the Association
building for the Juniors was discussed,
and the Junior committee hopes to en-
list the aid of ladies interested.
Glasses were reported as making prog
ress, and new gymnasium classes were
being formed. The sum of 1856 was re-
ported as being taken in last month by
the secretary for membership fees, and
$50 for educational fees. Unusual ex-
penses on the building within the last
few months have drained the treasury,
and it was estimated that 5000 would no
more than put the Association in con-
dition to give it an opportunity to forge
ahead.
The week of prayer for Christian Asso-
Citations begins next Sunday, and mem
bers' meetings will be held after business
hours every day. 1t is expected that
the city pastors will speak at one of their
services of the work of the Association
the world over or set apart one of their
Wednesday evening meetings for the pur-
pose.
