...suggestion of my many patrons I have engaged the well known and able cutter, George St. Clair. His abilities as a cutter need no comments, as he is so well known to the public. I have given him charge of my custom department. Mr. J. Foly has charge of the steam naptha, cleansing, pressing and repairing, for which purpose I have engaged three rooms attached to my store in order to give more speed to my work. In my new quarters I have the largest and best facility for cleansing, pressing and repairing, than any other tailor establishment...
...better condition, as the present is the "natural order of things." After science has pointed out certain results, sympathy comes in and teaches how to use these results. The sphere of sympathy is as wide as humanity. The new political economy shows that no ideal standard of man need be omitted. Years pass before the beautiful adjustments between capital and labor, on which the optimists dwell, come to pass. Legislation may do much to help in industrial crises.

Moreover, these substitutes must be in each case fitted to the particular character of the subject. This seems a hard problem, and perhaps would be, had it not, like many other urgent questions, begun to solve itself. Everyone has noticed the growing importance of thesis-writing in college; it is now acknowledged to be necessary to the pursuit of such studies as Philosophy...
...have, for men resist the influences to which they are exposed with very different results. Another subject of the very greatest importance to health is food. Exercise for persons of sedentary habits is of prime importance. Cleanliness and sleep are too well known as requirements of good health to need much comment. We want to make ourselves sound in wind and limb, in heart and brain. We are all glad to be freed from aches or pains; how much better if we avoid some portion of them. The desire to avoid pain is one of our first acquisitions...
