I wish to say that extra precaution should be taken in basting in the
s eeyes. As all men do not hold their arms alike, all sleeves should
not hang in the same position. For instance, for a man with drooping

position of the sleeve. Remove all bastings, sew on the buttons and the
coat is ready to be pressed. It is desirable that the coat be properlv
pressed. Before delivering the coat, give it a thorough inspection.
See that the linings are smooth and that the sleeves have been properly
placed. If the inspection meets approval the coat is finished.
In conclusion, I wish to say that tailoring is cleanly and offers to a
young man a promising future, for good tailors are in great demand
all over the country.

the primary conditions of health, and health is essential to the most
complete happiness and highest usefulness.
It is a notable fact that our most inefficient and inferior class of people
are those of communities where children grow up without special care
