TO SHORTEN YOUR LETTERS.

With that splendid efficiency war department has issued orders to the effect that all unnecessary verbiage shall be eliminated from departmental reports, aid that all official letters shall be clipped of titles and such conventional cour- tesies as Respectfully yours"
 The reason for this reform is laid at the door of expediency alone, and those responsible explain that the omission of the forbidden words will save much needed time But the world at large could copy the army's example with advantage and for quite another reasoA.
 How often have you seen letters written by men who were in anything but courteous mood, breathing rage. resentment, spleen and fire, and ending in the farcical declaration that the author was most respect fully the addressee's? How frequent ly have we perused messages which boiled down to some such absurd ity as:

 you walk on. Nobody but vel low dog could respect you. Re- spectfully yours.--

The boy who was once satisfied

The news of the entire world is serv-

and the housewife has so many ex-
acting duties that the brain is fairly
tagged out at nightfall, and her sleep
is titful and undressing. In this
connection, and discussing these con-
ditions, DR. Frank G. Wells, of New
York, in an admirable article says:
Owing TO all these conditions, troll
