LOOMING AFTER APPROPRIATION FM

Presents The Needs Of The InsiIiuusr

From the News-Le- .er we lears
that Professor j. l. Jaruan. president
Of the State Female Normal School,

asked for an appropriation Of s9l, 7os

657 students. in the last two weeks
there had been two case. Of diphtherii.
and ne had been in constant communi
cation with nearly !, 300 parents. Only
twenty-five OF thirty girls had left the
school, and so far ther had been %
additional eases of the disease.
Professor Jarman used this clrcu@-
stance TO impress on ne COMMITTEES
the absolute necessity ior an iniirmary.
For this large number of pupils there
were quarters for less than twenty,
and the infrmary was on the fourth
floor of one of the bui. lngs. and wa<
about $50 yards from the pantry max

inconvenient. An infnary such ~

the work being done. would cost not
less than SO, 600.

effect of the opening o. other normal

than the reflections Of last year. SucA

GIVEN COMPLIMENTARY
TO ALL MUSlC-LOVERS
Send To-day for This Interesting
Work Which Tells How to Tell
Good Piano; How to Pre-
serve Its Tone and Pro-
long Its Life.

a complimentary copy of book val
liable to all lovers OF music, and espe-
cially to prospective piano purchasers,
may be obtained by writing to the pub
fishers, Wing & Son, 371-3S9 West 18th
ST., New York
This book contains over $50 pages,
measuring I2xf2 inches, and Is an
encyclopedia of piano information, Civ
ing the history of these instruments, as
well as a minute and interesting de-
scription of piano building 1t shows
how to tell good piano from bad
one; what causes a piano to get out Of
order; how to care for it to preserve its
tone and prolong its life--altogether a
most welcome book for those interested.
The book, which is sent free to any
one who desires musical information, is
well illustrated. handsomely printed, and
bound in boards, and cannot have cost
the publishers less than seventy-five
cents to manufacture. The expense of
mailing is twenty-on cents, making the
cost nearly one dollar, and as they send
out several thousands of them each year,
one can easily understand how tremen-
dous the undertaking and the expense
of business getting, and what faith one
must have IN the honesty OF the Ameri-
can people to do business in this way.
This expensive literature, so generously
bestowed, is, however but the first step
in illustrating the lengths that manufac-
turers go in proving their confidence.
ARE AMERICANS HONEST?
That manufacturers will deliver by
prepaid freight merchandise to the value
of several hundred dollars to individuals
in any part of the United States, without
the deposit or prepayment of a single
dollar, is a startling fact that is some
thing of a puzzle to the conservative
business man.
1t is true, however, and the expert
snces of several mail-order houses in
sending pianos on 3o-day trial to anyone
anywhere have proved that the Ameri-
can people are honest. These expert
ences have demonstrated that this
method is pursued with practically no
losses and an enormous increase in the
business of those houses which endeavor
to place really high-grade pianos in
American homes

That certain employment agencies
