 Serge Suit Time.
 June, month of roses. sees mankind pretty generally blossoming out in blue serge And this is one sign of the nationality of mankind. There is nothing that feels or looks better than a blue serge suit. if it fits right and is made to keep it's shape. Such suit of serge is ideal but alas! how few at tain the ideal in faShioning a serge suit Yet there are ideal serge suits, spite of the fact that you see so many, by mid July, that look as though their race was run and they were looking for the old clo' man to come around and catch them; coat all out of shape and full of little cookies at the seams :; color turning on the shoulders and back; trousers irretrievebly sprung at the knees. Yes, you've seen that kind of a serge suit and it didn't look good to you, not a bit. But cheer up. there are ideal serge suits. and you will find your ideal at Meigs & Co.'S. Their serges are tested by sun. rain. wind and acid before the suits are made up, and the tailorS who make the suits are acquainted with all the tricks of tricky serge. so that the suits hold their shape and look well until ready to be laid aside. The serges this year are beautiful. Meigs & Co. are show ing the plain blue. the herringbone weave or self-StriDed and the silk striped serges. and the models of their suits are certainly good to see.- The moderate prices which prevail at this firms big store make it easy for every man to own good serge suit. as every man should.

Sfr:-I. a taxpayer and an ardent reader of your paper. also a father who has children attending the pub lie schools, wish to call to the atten- tion of the public the unfairness prac- ticed by some of the teachers in the schools. the High School especially.
 Certain teachers have a habit of passing members of certain societies in the High School and fiunlxing, as it is called. non-society members. Their act cannot be justified for the simple reason that some of those passed are absolutely dull, and also the worst cut-ups in the school. Now some stu dents who try and never fool are the ones who are flunlxed just because they are not liked by the pupils in the societies, and because these hon. orable teachers love to please their al- lies.
 This has long been continued and it behooves the Board of Education to look into the matter, unless they wish the teachers to be openly denounced to the public. Hoping have not troubled you and this shall be pub- lished, also thanking you for your val
