Reading for Improvement.

Any girl with an ordinary public
school education can do something to
improve her mind little every day.
She can read a page of some good
book-a book of travel, or book OF
history, or a book Of poems, or a book
OF essays-and she can think of what
she has read, and by copying in a
blank book few sentences or lines
which impress her, she can improve
her knowledge of spelling and phras-
ing, so that she will acquire after a
year of such practice a better educa-
ton than many high school graduates
possess. Any librarian will advise an
ambitious girl what books to read for
self-culture. To read a novel hurried
ly, just for the sake of knowing how
it comes out" is only a waste of time
and brain power. Good novels are
worth reading, but they should leave
something in the mind besides the
story, or they are better left unread

often been noted. This is especially

the English language. My companion
said privately to me: 7 am afraid

interrupted, in French, "they will

MUST PAY FOR
NEWSPAPERS
[. J, Cooper,
Post Adjutant.

The following is synopsis of the United
States supreme court decision regarding de-
linquent subscribers.
1. Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered as
wishing to renew their subscriptions
2. II subscribers order the discontinuance
of their periodicals the publisher may con-
tfnue to send until all arrears are paid.
8. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their periodicals from the post office they
! are responsible until after they have settled
their bills and ordered their paper discon-
tinued.
4. If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher and papers
are sent to the former address, subscribers
are responsible.
5. The courts have decided that refusing
to take periodicals from the Office or moving
and leaving them uncalled for, is prima
facie evidence of Intentional fraud
g. If subscribers pay in advance they are
bound to give notice at the end of the time
if they do not want to continue taking it,
otherwise the publisher is authorized to send
it, and the subscribers will be responsible
until an express notice with payment for all
arrears is sent to the publisher.
