as an hour each day you will form
the habit of expressing thought in
correct English. And bad habits of
speech will gradually disappear
Reading is of little value if the
reader does not understand what is
read. The advice that we should read
with a dictionary is good. No library
is complete without dictionary and
encyclopedia. Parents should have &C
cess TO a first class dictionary, because
their speech will be the pattern for the
speech of their children.
John Ruskin advised that we should
get the habit of learning the meaning
and correct pronunciation of each word
as we go along. He said that you
might read all the books in the British
museum and remain illiterate, but If
you read 10 pages of a good book ac-
curately you are forevermore in some
measure an educated person. He ad-
vises: Never let word or statement
that seems suspicious escape you. You
will find ii at first interesting and at
last endlessly amusing and intructive.
San Francisco is a city largely made
up of pleasure loving people. but there
are comparatively few book lovers in
the community. We are accordingly
pleased to note the success of an ad-
vertising campaign now in progress by
one of the magazines in connection
with the White Houses new book de-
partment. Through the enterprise of
this magazine one of the greatest ref
erence works in the English languag ge
is being placed in hundreds of homes.
1t is not surprising that Ambassador
Bryce, President Eliot OF Harvard,
Elihu Root, as well as many OF our
own leading citizens, bear willing tes-
timony to the great work.
II is one of the great dictionaries of
the world. an encyclopedia which sums
picture the entire surface OF the globe;
in fact. the highest achievement of An
glo-Saxon scholarship. Thousands of
dollars and years of the time of schol-
ars were required to complete the
work. 1t is already in quarter Of a
million homes in America.
The work is not new. 1t is standard
and authentic. 1t has simply been be-
yond the reach of the people of mod
crate means until the present time.
If the offer is within your reach
financially, take advantage of it. Think
it over. Will it not pay you to be in
touch with the language through which
you must express your thoughts. by
which you can progress? Will 1T not
be worth while for the children and
the family?
The Century Dictionary and Cyclic
pedia and Atlas" is the last and best
thing in it's line. And now the price
is right for ALL. The work Is a tool
chest of thought.

WANTS DEEDS RECORDED
ANEW WITHOUT CHARGE
Property Owner Proposes to
Make City Restore Fire Loss

. DR.. c. c. ODonnelI Of 912 Devisa-
dero street formally presented two
deeds TO San Francisco real estate at
the office of the county recorder ves-
terday with the demand that they be
re-recorded without charge.
O'Donnell said that as he had paid
for the original entry of the docn-
ments and as the destruction of the
record by fire was not due TO his neg
ligence, the city should restore the
record of the titles.
He asked the clerk if the deeds would
be refused under this proffer. The
clerk answered NO" ne would not re-
fuse the tender of the papers. but he
could not guarantee they would be
recorded unless the usual fee were de-
posted.
O'Donnell refused to pay any fee
and left announcing he would seek
means to compel the city to perform
what he conceived its obligation.
