Two things our Government recommends this war-year 
as to Christmas presents :— 
(/) That useless, wasteful, knick-knack stuff not be given. (Give books all around. There 
are books for every age and need. They compliment the good taste of the receiver. They fill 
every requirement of a fitting Christmas present.) 
(2) That buying begin early so as to avoid the concentrated strain that usually comes upon 
selling and transportation just before Christmas. (Our Fall books are already distributed. 
Nothing else is more easily bought than books and the sending of them conserves a maximum 
of coal and man-power.)
