Take My Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
Secretary's Handbook.

The most overworked word in the
language of business correspondence
is the verb advise"
Let's look at 1--WE beg to advise
=" In the first place, beg" means
to ask for charity; to beseech; tc
ask earnestly as favor" Use of the
word in I'VE beg to advise" is an
utter absurdity. Yet, the average
business man would no more think
of debating letter without the
phrase I'VE beg to advise than he
would of appearing in public with
out his trousers.
The verb advise" literally means
ito counsel: to recommend; to ap-
prise" 1t is not a good synonym
for state, tell, inform"
Indeed, I'VE beg to advise" Is
unnecessary and a waste OF time
and good white paper.
Instead of writing. 1--WE beg to
advise that the price of our little
gem gimmicks will be increased 2C
per cent as of January the first,
why not put it in plain American
thus: "On January /, 1949. the price
of our little gem gimmicks will be
20 per cent higher?
Why write, please be advised
that . -? The statement of q
plain fact isn't advice: nor is there
any reason why you should entreat
your correspondent to do you the
favor of permitting you to state the
fact.
In reply to your favor (nonsense
a letter isn't a favor of the 18th
inst. (absurd Office Latin), we are
pleased by the advice news? in
formation? glad to learn? that yol

In this propelled era, busi-
ness English still creaks along in it,
18th century horse and buggy. It's

Natures Children
RaccOOn.
(Procyor, Lotor.)
By LiIIion Cox Athey

Eyery day is wash day when the
raccoon is abroad. He is MEMBER
of the famous Sleepy Head Club
the Hibernators. During the winter
he and his wife and children are
cuddled close in a hollow tree. All
winter the family is in deep sleep.
As soon as the ice melts and the sun
is warm, they scramble down the
tree trunk and head for nearby
/ stream. Frogs, clans, oysters ana
fish are their diet. The habit OF
washing the food, no matter no"
clean, is a hangover from the past
when all food had to be dug from
black mud and ooze. Today, no
matter what type of food, if water
is nearby, it will be dunked, the
bunker watching you closely to see
what your next move will be.
No animal has a broader appetite.
ICultivated gardens are entered with
out any consideration for the rights
of others. The tender corn in the
milk stage receives immediate at
tention. More than one gardener
has had his entire corn crop stripped
from the stalks in one night.
Poultry yards receive attention.
too. Once fish was the accepted
breakfast food. Now it is eggs or
small chickens. After finding we'll
stocked market, the poacher repeats
his visits and brings the family
along.
Raccoons are sturdily built ami
mails, 80 inches long. They wear
coats of coarse long hair of graylsh
brown. Their long bushy gray tail
is ringed in black. Across their
cheeks and eyes is black area re-
sembling a domino which gives a
most unusual expression to the eyes
which gleam like fire in the dark.
| Wisely the raccoon keeps out OF
the path of his enemies, the dog,
mink, marten and weasel. During
the day he lolls in the tree on a
wide limb from which he can watch.
| By late summer, raccoonS are tat
and ready for the long sleep. The
mother calls her children in. The
