policy of telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or misrepre-

growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is a liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
It does positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-

In no other way can the invest

teachers use it to teach current
