MIsUsED WORDS

These helps are meant for those
who feel the occasional need of some
thing of this kind:
1. Sit, sat sat; set, set, set. These
are quite small, but sometimes very
troublesome words. The former verb
is intransitive, so can take no oh
ject. The latter (meaning to place.
is transitive, and in the active voice
requires an object. We set the hen
and she sits. She is therefore a sit
ting hen. The court sits and the
hen sits and someone has said that the
hen sometimes sits to better pur-
pose than the court Hamlet says
tc his mother: Come, sit you down
y and I will set you up a glass
where you may see the innermost
part of you. These are what are
known as irregular verbs and for
tunately for some of us are not nu-
merous in English. She set the table,
and then sat at the table.

to the use of wrong word. "His
coming was great stimulant to en-
listment." The word is stimulus

NEWSPAPERS REALLY CHEAP

The cheapest thing a man buys
nowadays is his newspaper. Ever
think of it? Six days week it an

just ID cents. What else can you buy
for that amount of money?
Inc newspaper may be the poores,

amount for six issues. It may have
only one worth while news item in
It during all the six issues but that
one item may be worth to you the
is cents you pay.
But most any newspaper has pride
enough and enterprise enough to do
more than furnish that one item
Most any newspaper is better than
those who make it think. And at any
event 1t Is worth one-sixth of Is cents
