Postal Library Idea Would Provide Books Across Canada
The Canadian parliament considers funding ten million dollars to buy ten point nine million books for a nationwide postal library.

The scheme aims to let any resident request any book by postal card, potentially replacing city libraries over time. Also an advertisement for Electric Bitters promotes appetite, digestion, and liver benefits with a 50c to 100c price.
