Notice to All Subscribers.

AS was announced in the first issue of
the Banner to appear during 1915 and
repeatedly during the year, the change
in policy as regards subscriptions-de-
handing cash in advance from all--be-
came effective January tst. On the
night of the 18th the Banners mailing
list was carefully revised and all whose
subscriptions were not paid in advance
were suspended. This made a total of
1911 names, but, of course, included in
this list were the names of some who
had only subscribed for 1915 and wanted
the paper discontinued at the close of
that year. The first of the year is the
date for the general revising of the list,
and also the date upon which more sub
scriptions expire than any other, so that
that number were suspended should not
be matter of surprise, especially as
sscash in advance" with the Banner is in
it's first stages.
Reviewing the mailing list this after
noon we find that of the 191 suspended
last Tuesday night fifty three have since
paid up, and they are still coming back.
However, of this number some three or
four are not now getting the Banner,
having RENTED only enough to pay up
to January 1, 1916. During this month
we believe the number will be reduced to
much less than 100 and during court
week no doubt rs per cent or more OF
those still off the list will renew. Past
experience prompts us to make this es-
innate.
Last week sample copies were liber-
ally mailed and the same will be done
again this week, but we make no prom
Use in this direction as to the future.

Boxing With the Feet.

The form Of boxing known as ia

been a popular exercise In French gym

principle is that the whole weight of

an adjunct to the fists and flies out
