CHAT 



A call from the publishers for early copy 

 gives the solvers so little time that we have not 

 awarded the prizes for June, and this will give 

 the late solvers a chance for the prizes. 



Let the solvers take the answer to No. 49 and 

 compare it with the puzzle and see how nicely 

 it fits. 



For the lack of interest, and other good 

 reasons, we shall be obliged to declare the yearly 

 contest off, and shall endeavor to use the money 

 offered to better advantage in monthly prizes. 



We offer this month the three yearly subscrip- 

 tions, and a book for every tenth list received. 

 Answers will be booked in the order they are re- 

 ceived, and the tenth, twentieth, and so on get 

 a book. 



Texas Kid is a new comer, and we trust we 

 may hear from him again. One of his puzzles 

 appears this month, and we will give ten postal 

 cards for the first solution from one who has 

 never sent answers to this department. Those 

 trying for this prize wdll so state, and all solve.

An Old Nurse for Children 



Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup for children 

 teething should always be used for children 

 while teething. It soothes the child, softens the ' 

 gums, allays all pain, cures wind colic and is the 

 best remedy for diarrhoea.
