Any poor forlorn slate thtit hnsn'l a favorllo son ought to adopt ono 1m mudlatcly. In the presence of the Merry Wldo\\ hat tlio summer parasol Is doomed to tnltu a back ecnt. Judge Gray says he will never be president. There arc a whole lot ol people who agree with him. I'atrlck Henry's old homo was do iitroyod by fire the other day. If thai bo treason , make the most of It. It now seems probable that the lasi thing to bo fed Into the wood pulj machine will be Uncle Joe's gavel. Mlnncfiota has just passed Its flf tleth birthday as a state and can wel be proud of Us splendid auaiuvements May has often been spoken of as the vestibule of June. This year 1 has been also Its cistern and rcscr volr. There Is a great deal being salt about Merry Widow hats , but then 1 takes considerable to cover the sub jcct. It must be getting dull down in Ar knnsas. There hasn't been an erup tlon of Jeff Davis for moro than i week. There's no question but Taft wll carry every precinct In the cana zone. The secretary made a grea hit down there. By this tlmo Cortelyou must hav < accumulated sawdust enough to pacl the product of all the Ice factories litho the District of Columbia. Chntanooga Is talking prosperlt ; and backing up Its talk sending ou strawberry specials consisting o trains of ten cars each. A Chicago woman has recently re celved diamonds and sapphires fron nn unknow person. This Is bettei than being handed a lemon. There Is no question but whn David B. Hill is a democrat. A dem ocrat has been defined as "A man ou of office without his consent. " Switzerland has prohibited the man iifacturo of absinthe. This Is anothe form of going dry and one whlcl every sane person will commend. An exchange wisely surmises tha when John Howard Payne wrote "B < It ever so humble , there's no place Ilk home , " he was not writing of Hats. It is passing strange that a wealtl of advice concerning married life nm the training of children is given b ; those who have never tried It. There's a vast difference betwee : nolso and votes. It would be well 1 some politicians In both of the grea political parties would bear this 1 : mind. The suggestion is made that som enterprising newspaper Initiate movement to pay for two big batth ships , by popular contribution. No a bad Idea. Mrs. Katherine Clemens Gould d < clares that no woman can dress d < ccntly on less than $20,000 a yeai Is It any wonder that the country 1 full of poor , timid bachelors ? Two brothers who are engaged 1 the lofty avocation of circus clown have Inherited a fortune of two an a half millions. But they are not th only clowns who are millionaires. Elbert Hubbard says : "We are pai of the divine nebulae and can't g wrong. " That Is a good thing for man to tell his wife when he leave homo in the evening. What has become of Prlnco Hell do Sagan and Anna Gould ? Lot u hope they arc married so that th public can live happily once mor whether they do or not. A recent earthquake in Mexico pla ; ed some queer pranks. It shook th bottom out of the famous Carme springs at Talpinclngo , thus brcakln up a popular health resort. It is certainly an era when youth 1 In the saddle In Latin Kurope. Porti gal Is under a boy king , the king c Spain Is not yet twenty-two and th king of Italy Is only thirty-eight. In Vienna the horses liavo caugli the grip and are dying at a great rati It has been found out that whlsko and quinine , the favorite remedy c men for this disease ( quinine In ver 1 small proportion ) IB detrimental to the mulcted animals. 1'osslbly It Is to men also. The Mississippi tins been discover ed again. St. I uls Is preparing to start a steel bnrgo line between that city and New Orleans at a cost of $2.000,000. A California ranchman ptocurod seeds from the agricultural depart- merit from which ho raised some enormous pumpkins. Ono of them weighed 270 pounds. China Is becoming civilized accordIng - Ing to modern Ideas. There can no longer bo any doubt of It. The price of meats In Pokln has recently ad vanced thirty per cent. Although the first base ball factory was started fifteen years ago , the price of balls has been Increased 25 per cent. This Increase on the total output will amount to over $1.000,000. Growing up with the country and blowing It up are two distinct pro- positions. It would be a good Idea If those who emigrate to America from other countries would keep this differ ence In mind. "Who the gods have It In for" says a bright exchange , "they first ralso tea a fever temperature. " The recent urocccdlngs of the democracy In some the states are full of good tidings 'or the republicans. The wealthy citizen of Malaga whc chose amateur bull fighting as his fad and has killed in the arena 350 bulls and been four times wounded , cannot lie accused of being a molly coddle , Secretary Wilson makes the cheer Ing prophecy that 1908 will be a great crop year for the U. S. If his prophecy Is fulfilled when October rolls round once more the panic of the year be fore will be only a bad dream. A witness stated solemnly In a. Now Jersey court that "If you put the hand of a person who Is asleep In salt water and ask him questions he will answer them and never lie. " And some people ple say the age of superstition is past Andrew Carnegie says "Tho man that doesn't know a little more about the work he Is assigned to than his employer knows Is a poor stick. " This may bo true , Andrew , but really did you ever know of an employer whc would admit It ? Tom Watson , the populist candi date for the presidency , will put lots of energy , enthusiasm and time Intc the campaign , but It Is doubtful if he will carry a single doubtful state. But It Is good advertising , as Mr. Bryan has already shown. Macon , Missouri , has a man whc vowed in 190C that he would let his hair and beard grow untrlmmed until William Jennings Bryan was elected president. It is safe to say that there Is one man In Missouri that would like to see William Jennings win thif time. It may be surprising but it Is never theless true that America leads al the other nations of the world Ir Japanese trade , doing even a largei business with the little Islanders thar Is done with China next door. Yoka homa sends more dollars worth o : goods to the U. S. than any othei port In the world sends there. Among the statistics given by Presl dent Roosevelt in regard to the In crease In the consumption of our re 1 sources is the significant sentenci telling of the increasing rapidity o our nationtal development. "Tho mon Increase In our consumption of coa during 1907 over 190C exceeded th < total consumption In 1870 , the centen nial year. " "When one of your friends is thi victim , " says an exchange , "don * join the hue and cry against him. Jus about the time he is In trouble Is Jus g , about the time a little loyalty helpi out. " If this could only be remember ed , how much sadness could be avert ed. Charity of thought and generoui action toward the man who la dowr are among the world's greatest needs The engineers of the Panama cana have Issued some remarkable facti about the amount of concrete used li Its construction and gives an Idea o the total amount of work to bo doni on the ditch. Enough concrete will hi required In completing the canal t ( build a line of eight room houses reach lug from Now York to Philadelphia and these would furnish homes fo 120.000 people. No enlightened and progressive pen pie were over placed In a more dls tresslng and hopeless position li which to maintain their freedom thai Finland occupies today. Their prospec Is Indeed a bitter ono and unless the ; can show new powers of reslstanc < and new resourcefulness In clrcum venting the czar , even the semblanc < of liberty will soon bo denied them The Importations of the Unltci States have diminished more thai $90,000,000 compared with last yea and our exports have Increased so that the balance of trade In our favor Is the largest ever known. We are gottlng our Imports nt lower prices ivhllo our exports are generally bring- ng In more money than before. This adds to the favorable balance and shows Hint the advantage of the situ- itlon Is with us. Secretary Taft will have boon absent from the country on his trip to Pan- unn about throe weeks. What a lot of annoyance he 1ms saved himself from by escaping the ubiquitous newspaper - paper Interviewers during that time ! Mrs. Humphrey Ward refers In one of her books to the American peasants , Mrs. Ward should understand that there are no peasants In America and of all the mon who are citizens of this great republic none are quite the king that the men who till the soil are. Plttsburg has a bank cashier who has defaulted for something life half a million dollars , most of which he chocked out to his friends to oblige them. It may be easy to be generous with other peoples property , but It's a dangerous proposition jitfct the same and Its end is dishonor. It Is said that President Roosevelt has given members of the naval com mittee In the house confidential Information mation why four battleships should bo authorized by congress this year. This rumor will cause Hobson's per petual war cloud to grow several shades darker and put In lurid dashes of lightning. The official career of Fighting Bob Evans is at an end , but his record as a naval officer of courage and effici ency will be added to that of the famous admirals who have preceded htm and with them continue to In spire patriotism and love for the flag in the hearts of the boys and girls of this and future generations. Prosperity clubs are being formed In all the large cities to promote trade and business confidence , but the best prosperity club In the country at pres ent are the men who are busy on the farms sowing and cultivating the crops. By the aid of the sunshine and the rain if the crops are good this sea son , there is no question but what another winter will see a great re vival of prosperity. If Secretary Taft secures the presi dential nomination , the vice president will according to the established pre cedent , be chosen from the east. There Is abundant material from which the convention can choose , but probably no other man would add so much strength to the ticket as that of Gov ernor Hughes of New York If he could be Induced to accept second place. Young King Manuel of Portugal Is anxious to have the charges concernIng - Ing the drawing of large sums of money from the national treasury by his father Investigated that he may make restitution. But neither of the two dominant parties are willing to consent to such investigation. This leads to the strong supposition that the political leaders got more of the plunder than did King Carlos. Nothing in the way of modern Im provement is more striking than the progress In naval architecture. Ad- mlral Dewey won his great victory In Manila Bay ten years ago with battle ships that would not stand two min utes against a navy of today. His heaviest ship , the Olympla , Is now only a memory , while the Baltimore and others are in use as training ships along the coast. Another million dollars Is to be expended ponded at once in widening the Saull canal. It seems sometimes as thougl the government would never get this canal In condition to meet all the de mantis of the lake commerce. The Immense tonage which passes througl It annually makes It the most consplc uous waterway in the world and It if of the greatest importance that II should accommodate the traffic In the best possible manner. Many cities throughout the United States are debating the ndvlsnbllltj of establishing voting machines. II Is a hard matter to decide. If It could be demonstrated beyond all doubt that machines would make dishonest elec tlon Impossible , this benefit , In addi tlon to the great gain In rapidity and accuracy would bo sufficient Justlfl cation for the largo expense Incident upon such a change , but of these fncU not all city officials are ausolutelj convinced. Some reporters Interrupted a speak er In the German relchstag and stung by their taunts and Jeers the speaker called the newspaper men swine Thereupon the pencil pushers roseIr their dignity and refused to report the proceedings of the relchstag until the epithet was publicly retracted The retraction was made and the leg Islatlvo work proceeded. Just 1m nglne newspaper reporters Interrupt Ing and Jeering at speakers In the American congress ! The Memphis Commercial Appeal deplores plores the custom of carrying flre arms in the south. It eays the lav ( gainst carrying pistols onrsht to bo rigidly enforced and public opinion should be made so strong against It that men will stop It. It closes an urgent appeal to do away with the custom that has caused the loss of so many liurnim lives by saying "Lot's make human life In all those states ch a sacred thing that only God or the duo form of God's law c.in dctrtroy it. " The third assistant postmaster gen eral gave out the following figures concerning the value of stamps issued annually. For the year ending June 1 , 1907 , the value of "stamped stock" Issued to postmasters was $173,000- 070.27. This consisted of 9,331,919,055 pieces of stamped paper and 17i8C,800 ( stamp books. The value of the postal cards for the year was $125,310 , ! ! 19. Stamped envelopes $27,051-193.12 , , and wrappers $579,885.25. Uncle Sam docs quite a stroke of business In his department store when you come to foot It up. The old McKlnley home at Canton , Ohio , has been Bold to strangers. It was for many years associated with the happiness and successes of a great ly beloved man. U was the E-ceno of the most marvelous political campaign the country has ever experienced. It was from that home that McKlnley was borne to his last resting place near by and It was there that his lov ing wife passed her last years of loneli ness and sorrow. Somehow It does not seem quite right that that home should cease to be associated with McKlnley. It Is estimated that since last Oc tober about ' 10,000 sturdy Americans from the western states have crossed over into Canada to settle In the newer sections of the Dominion. These people , unlike the immigrant from southern Europe who are leaving us , we can 111 afford to lose. They are , for the most part , well-to-do farmers who are leaving well developed farms to take possession of newer lands that they believe offer larger returns. They take with them considerable sums of money and are honest and desirable citizens which America needs. The task set by President Roosevelt for congress In requesting them to enact federal laws for the suppression of anarchistic doctrines Is a hard one. The public danger which the president seeks to avert Is not like open crime and armed violence or rebellion which Is easily reached by the law. The question Is how to get hold of the sly and cunning agitator who fires the brains of mentally unbalanced persons and leads them to willingly sacrifice their own lives to commit some terri ble crime In the spirit of martyrdom. It is not an easy problem to solve , but so long as these agitators are abroad In the land there Is no safety for life or property. Because of the strained relations between the Japanese and Chinese governments which might cause a visit of our fleet to the Chinese ports as an Indication of the Intention of the United States to resist the en croachments of Japan in Manchuria , or of a disposition to unite with Great Britain and other powers In trying to stop the nationalistic boycott move ment in China , a compromise plan has been adopted by our government ac cording to which the fleet will be di vided into two squadrons which will visit Japanese and Chinese ports simultaneously. Both countries are preparing for extensive naval reviews as a welcome to the Americans. There are peculiar national preju dices as to the division of labor be tween the sexes. In America women are admitted to almost every profes sion and vocation , yet few engage IE the sordid grinding labor of the heavier kind , such as the peasant wo men of European countries perform In France a woman may bo admitted to the bar or may drive a cab , but II is not thought proper that she should become a doctor or even a trained nurse. In London women are preferred ferred as nurses but can by no means plead at the bar. In Stockholm you can bo deftly shaved by a woman or hire one to carry In your firewood or do any heavy menial work which American women rarely perform. The Industrializing of women Is working great social changes , some for the bet terment of the race , others not sc helpful. In Its general tendency , how ever , the emancipation of women from a strictly domestic career Is toward her welfare and that of the race. How many of our school children's parents ever visit the schoe > ls or ever know the teachers when they meet them on the streets ? How many know what their children are studying or how their children nro progressing ! ! Did you over think how differently we treat our children from what wo dc our houses and our homes. If we have a house to paint or any jol around the homo to do , how many people ple say to the man they employ "Here nro the tools and the material. Gc ahead and do it to suit yourself and that will suit us. " If ono man should hear a neighbor give such directions as this to a hired man , ho would thlnh It was extraordinary to say the least and yet whe nthoy come to their chil dren that Is exactly the way they are treated. Parents say by their actions "llore Is my child with its books , pa per and ponrll. I furnish material and tools , now educate him as you HOO lit. " Wouldn't It bo bolter , admitting that the teachers are proficient and know tholr line of work well , to nt least visit the schools of ton and Rive thorn per sonal encouragement by having them re-nll/e that you are interested eon- uantly In knowing just how your child Is getting along In his or her studies. Just think about this. lONGLAND'S ItIG PUOUL10M. All our difficulties \\lili the negro question at homo and the government of the Philippines abroad are a bag atelle as compared with the problem that faces Great Britain and her fut ure in India. It Is the nice question ind the government question combin ed. It Is political and economic and racial. It Is the growth of half a century of slowly deepening and mat uring discontent. It Is evidenced In recent outbreaks In some of the great cities of India , and in discoveries of secret arrangements for a revolution ary movement throughout the whole country. Discontent is ripening , and British statesmanship will be put to It to handle an Issue as grave as any nation ever faced. The trouble Is that Britain's rule of India has been neither good enough nor bad enough to secure permanency. Had her rulers boon more despots like Clive , they might have made good tholr control indefinitely among a people to whom despotism has boon familiar for centuries and who are accustomed to cringe to the lash. But English opinion would not tolerate that. Hud her declared purpose boon to prepare India for self government , the people would have waited patiently for that. But what England has done Is to en courage education according to Eng lish ideas among a people not prepared for self government , and to hold out to them no future hope. They have been , on the whole , well governed. But they have been exploited by capi tal , ground to the earth by the usurer , and after passing through high schools and universities , made to remember always that they are an Inferior race. To the Englishman the Hindu is noth ing but a "nigger , " and the Hindu has his own hardly matched pride of race. The commonest foresight might have seen that here was gathering material for a terrible outbreak some day. All India Is seething with dis content. A population numbering more than all the rest of the empire put together is united , profoundly dis satisfied , bent on acquiring privileges that It knows not how to exercise. The mutiny of fifty years ago was horrible. The next is likely to be even moro disastrous. A SCANDAL AND A CRIME. Of course everybody knew that If Thaw was acquitted of the brutal and cold blooded murder that he com mitted , the next move would be to get him out of the insane asylum. He was sent there only to save him from the gallows. The money that accom plished the one wrong Is now used to compass the other. Indeed It was a great concession to decency that bis frlonds waited a few weeks be tween the farce of his acquittal and the other farce of release. This Is what the insanity dodge Is for. It is the old shell game of "now you see It and now you don't see It , " and the value of the Thaw case is that it Illustrates the whole motive and oper ation of the thing with unusually brutal frankness. There is not the slightest reason for this scandal and disgrace on civil ization. The present condition of our criminal laws with relation to homicide and Insanity presents two combined. They are framed for just such purposes as this ; to open a way of escape for the guilty who have great wealth or powerful friends , while the poor and weak may get. along as best they can. There Is not an honest man whoso blood does not boll at the thought that It Is left within the pow er of any man or any set of men to set at liberty a criminal who has been placed In an asylum on his own state ment that ho Is Insane , made to relieve lievo him from danger of the greater and juster penalty that the law at taches to murder. It would be the simplest thing In the world to make the law just. Doubtless there are cases where men kill others In a fit of Insanity. Doubt less public opinion will not permit them to be executed , though the wis dom of that may be questioned. But one thing Is certain ; no man who Is acquitted on a charge of murder be cause ho is pronounced Insane should over bo sot at liberty. The law should place him beyond the reach of par don or release. If ho Is afterward declared sane , ho should go to the penitentiary for life. For even If his pica bo genuine , no ono can promise that the insane fit will not return and another murder bo dono. Of nil the weaknesses of our laws , this Is one of the worst and least defensible. APPOINT A COMMISSION. The house of representatives should stand solidly behind Its committee on banking and currency , which refus ed to consider the Aldrlch bill at all , declined to favor the Vrcolaml bill , and voted to report the Fowler bill for the appointment of a currency commission composed of members of each house of congress and n largo number of outside persons familiar with the currency question. M'hls Is the only method of treatment that promises to the country any hope of that currency reform which It needs and for which It has waited so long. Of course the main good of the pro- poKi'd plan Is the salvation of the country from the Incalculable evils tliroatonod by the Aldrlch bill. Ap parently the earnest protests of busi ness men and bankers from every section but especially from Iho west and northwest , have had their effect. This measure , the shrewd product of the gamblers of Wall Street , viciously seeking to bribe the people by prom Islng thorn nn unlimited market for bonds when they wanted to borrow , would have authorized the specula tors to do about what they pleased with the currency. The Vrooland bill was oven worse ; for without eli minating a single bad feature of the other , It added nn asset currency in the shape of permitting Issues against commercial paper as well ns against bonds. It was n more hedge podge. And as for the bill of Chairman Fowler ler himself , while Is the only attempt made to approach the currency In n rational and scientific spirit , It would be hopeless to try to educate either congress of the country up to It In the few weeks remaining possible for this session. Therefore very much the best thing that can be done Is to appoint a com mission. It should bo constituted of exports. It will bo able to present conclusions In such shape that the country can digest and understand them. It can take time and have rec ommendations ready for congress when It assembles In the fall. We shall not bo rushed Into a deep pit from which there Is no rescue. The party will not have to defend Itself at the coming election against the charge of serving the big money In terests. And as there is no present need whatever of an emergency cur rency , the country will not suffer. AROUND TOWN. Been swlmmin' yet ? Another school year has raced away. Before long the days'll be getting shorter again. There arr > many ways of flattering a woman ; but toll a man his Panama is the best you've over seen. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. Most parents In raising children don't know the difference between training and the lack of it. Of course it is not polite to ask a guest when she Is going home , but everyone would like to ask It. Repenting of sin is a great deal like pulling a heavy sled up hill after you have had a good time sliding down. It hurts a girl to flirt with the men a good deal more than It hurts a young man to flirt with politics and everyone knows that to flirt with poli tics is ruinous. "Is that you , dear ? " asked a wom an as her husband came stumbling into the house at two o'clock In the morning. "Yes , " he answered sulkily. "Who'd you expect ? " The first Sunday after a wedding Is a great event in a bride's life. She wears nil her new toggery to church , and they go to her mother's for din ner after the service. You must not play cards In Hia watha on Sunday. In Atchlson you must not say anything about It. In Kansas City you play cards on Sun day and tell about It. Keep smiling. The crop situation couldn't look better. The sweet girl graduate has a mort gage on this week's public attention. The young man who graduates gets just about as much attention as the groom at a wedding. Faint rumblings hero and there seem to indicate that a political storm , statewide In Its effect , Is be ginning to gather. The Juno brldo will take her place in the center of the stage just as soon as the girl graduate gets through delivering her oration. Three little boys In West Point who stole Ice cream from a party , were arrested and fined $ -1 and costs , besides having to pay for the ice cream. A report from Pierce says that the white caps who thrashed Otto Hueb- ner , the wife beater , will bo arrested and rnado an example of. But the state has no medal-fund. The State Journal mixed up a tele gram from Norfolk telling about the Ktato U. C. T. convention hero. The Journal said the "W. C. T. U. " had been meeting In Norfolk and gave the names of well known traveling men as the officers. Some of the U. C. T men may bo husbands of the W C. T. U women , but not a man In the U. C. T. convention Is a member in good standing of the Wonmn'ti Christian Temperance Union , The lawns look particularly pretty for this time of winter. This Is Farmer Hums' last nnnrnr- auce In Norfolk until after ho nnd Gotch have taken n ( urn around the globe. When a man chnngoa to enmnu r clothes , ho ought to carry n winter's supply around In his pocket for quick change In case of emergency. The Kansas City Star says Hint oven BO conservative a man ns Sin ntor AlllKon could almost safely pre dict the nomination of Taft In Chicago If Tuft lives , and If the convention Is held. For the next month thoro'll hardly be a day go by without developing Homebody who know Mrs. fiiiiinoss. Hut the follows who wont through the real excitement aren't alive to tell It. A lot of art eroatlotm along the millinery line could bo purchased very cheap In Norfolk just now. Several score of young people , It develops , were caught in the Sunday night rain storm with generally dlsastorouB nf- fects on the fomlnlno wearing apparel. There's a now man In Norfolk who Is being admired by all the women. Ho came to town ahead of his wife , unpacked the furniture , tacked down the carpets , hung the Inco curtains , put the proper scarf on each dresser and the proper ornament on the cen ter table ; did It all , they say , better than nine-tenths of the women could do ; and then , before the family ar rived , wont out on a still hunt for a hired girl so that when bis wife gets hero she will feel perfectly nt home and not have to worry about washing the dishes. The past season has been the rnoM disastroim in theatrical circles ever known. Most of the companies went broke. Cities much larger than Nor folk had difficulty in getting high class attractions. By a turn of good luck Norfolk now has a chance to close the season with "The District leader , " one of the most popular musical comedies of the day. The music was written by Joseph B. How ard , whose "Tho Time , The Place and the Girl , " "The Flower of the Ranch" and "Tho l nnd of Nod , " have all made tremendous hits. Several other cities are after this same datn , June fi , but if Norfolk wants the show and wants It earnestly enough to guarantee a house Norfolk is go ing to get it. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. If brooms could talk , how the old broom could deride tlio work of the new one ! "If you have a wife who insists on bossing you , " said Lysander John Appleton - pleton today , "either submit to her in everything , or get a divorce. Don't squabble. " A girl of sixteen walks as though she owned the earth and after she has been married a few years , she walks as if she were carrying it on her shoulders. We have noticed that when you tell a woman her daughter Is just the Im age of her when she was that age , the mother looks pleased and the daugh ter looks scared. A man can waver from the truth as much as he likes , In bestowing com pliments ; but when ho criticises , a great fuss is made if he deviates from the truth In the least. No boy ever had so great a respect for his mother he didn't consider her foolish about guns and swimming holes. Almost any man would rather re main ignorant of a thing than to have it explained to him by someone he does not like. The moro a girl likes and admires her father and brothers the less like ly that she will Idealize a worthless lover Into a hero. How hard women will work to earn a little money ! No man Is as liberal with his "women folks" In this respect as he should be. An Atchlson girl who Is too proud to be seen carrying a bundle gets her packages home from town by wearing them In her pompadour. A Spin dreams that if there was a man In the house she would have someone to protect her , but after she gets the man , she finds she has some thing to protect. Men do not like to bo bothered by women selling tickets. However po litely they may receive the woman they will fuss in private. A woman has no right to work her frlonds in the ticket way. Almost any poultry Journal will tell you how to make money raising tur r keys , hut If you want real insldo In formation , ask a farmer's wife , and you are pretty sure to choose eorno other road to wealth. In Atchlson , when a man goes away to "do better , " and returns content to remain here , people say. "Ho went fishing when the water was high. " ( Chart : You can't catch fish In u creek when the water Is high and muddy. ) In ono hour you may materially "Im prove your education" na to many useful subjects by reading the ads.
