Choosing a Christmas Present

When you make a present of a periodical to a friend of a fam fly you are really selecting a companion to influence them for good or i'll during a whole year. If the acquaintanceS of your sons and daughters were to talk to them aloud .as some periodi, calls talk to them silently, how quickly you would forbid the companionship. In the one case as in the other, the best course is to supplant the injurous with something equally attraction and at the same time worth while" A food eau be wholesome and ut terly distasteful. Reading can be made so, too. But the Youths Companion not only nourishes the mind, but delights it, just like that ideal human associate whom you would choose. The Youths Companion tilis that place now in more thar half million homes. Can you not think of another family in which it is not now known where it would be ioyfully welcomed?
