Never Buy Toilet Paper
because you can get so many rolls for
a quarter. You can't tell by the size
or thickness of a roll how much paper
there is in it. And that's what you
ought to know.
The only economical way to buy toilet
paper is the count standard?the number
of sheets to the roll?and see that it is
printed on the wrapper*

But we don't advocate buying toilet paper on a

Nearly two ?reeks ago the school
editor of "The (?lobe" made a speech
so full of inaccuracies and m.?rep?
resentations about the Gary plan that
we challenged him to send us ?saJ
speech in full for ri We
added that if the ?pooch were t.' I
it would be evidence ef tha fact that
Its author feared to submit It to the
test of refutation. The speech has not
been rece ved. In its place Mr. Met

opponents of the Gary p'.ai..
Fortun?tely, however, the educa?

THE Encyclopaedia Bri?
tannica is at once the
oldest and the newest of
works of reference. First
published in 1 768. twenty
one years before the inaug?
uration of Washington as
President, it has again and
again been rewritten and
reissued in enlarged and im?
proved form. Each edition
has been more successful
than its predecessor. The
new Eleventh Edition of the
Britannica is the culmina?
tion of a century and a half
of constant progress. How
useful The Encyclopaedia
Britannica is now and has
been for six generations
is proved by the fact that
more copies of it ha^e been
sold than of all other ency?
clopaedias combined.
