LET UNCLE SAM SERVE YOU Some weeks ago we wrote an ar ticle, “Work for Women’s Clubs.” A woman in speaking of the article said, “Where would we get information along the lines of which you wrote? | You see we don’t all have access to a physician’s reports as you have." Now we feared that perhaps others of our readers might labor under the same false impression, so we take this means to enlighten them. None of our information was ob tained from a medical magazine or physician’s reports; such information is written for the profession, and is too bulky for the average person to handle. Our source of information is Uncle Sam. He presents facts upon many different subjects in plain Eng lish for the benefit of all classes of readers. The largest book store in the world is conducted by the United States government. These, more than one hundred thousand publications, con taining facts on every conceivable subject. Very few of these books cost anything at all. Uncle Sam wants to give them to you and urges you to send in your order. Do you need a new cook book ? Do you want to know how to feed, dress, and train your baby? Do you want to know where the birds go in win ter? Do you want to know more about the cultivation of flowers and fruits? Uncle Sam will cheerfully answer all your questions and give you full information on any subject, There are bulletins on Foods and Cooking, Care of Infants, Birds, In sects, Education, American History, Health, Disease, Sanitation. A vast wealth of information along any line may be had. You may even take an educational course, and after satis factory examination receive a di ploma. Address, Superintendent of Docu ments, Washington, D. C. Ask for a catalogue of Government publica tions and then write for the special bulletin you may wish. Some of the books cost a trifle but most of them, as before stated, are free. JOHN WOODS As star in the comedy drama “Betsy Baker,” at the Tuesday Night Forum, April 3.

Anderson, scout master. With the interest of our boyhood in mind we have organized a boy scout troop wth the hope of raising our number to 32 members within the not two weeks. Any boy between 12 and 18 years may join by making application and becoming registered. The movement is non-military and non-sectarian (mind you) while it does instill those principles of racial loyalty, patriotism and chivalry, also our duties toward God, our fellow man and self. Parents are asked to co-operate with the movement and encourage your boys to become mem bers. All Good Scouts will go on a hike to Child’s Point next week. The drilling was very good last week, thank you. We wonder who will get the first paddling for tar diness. Robert Allen has been elected scribe of Troop No. 23. (Skiddoo.)
