Does he read books which are posi-

Probably not, but,
Are you content to have him read
nothing but books which merely
won't hurt him any, when there are
hundreds of books which he will like
Just as well, which will give him some

he gets proper reading, so that his

You know that not all canned goods
are Of equal value, You insist that
your grocer sell you the brand you
