BUY FOR OTHERS!

There are many young people who attend the Fair who are unable to purchase the beautiful things which they see so temptingly arranged before them. Their longing eyes rest on many a coveted article which they are unable to get.

Now is the time for those who wish to contribute to the Sanltary fund, and, at the same time, to win the gratitude of the child's or the poor man's heart.

If you are wondering what you had better purchase, and are holding off because your well-filled house is overflowing with good things, remember those less fortunate. Purchase for them, and not for yourself, and you shall receive your reward.

Now, employers, remember your clerks. Uncles, remember your nephews. Aunts, you cannot forget your nieces. Let all that can, give; and you will not only help the poor soldiers, but fill many a heart with gratitude. *
