London, Dec. 21-A strong move- ment is on foot to secure a restric. tion of the honors for opening bars on Christmas and the two following days, the suggestion being made that Sunday hours should be observ- ed on all three days.

Heard Canada Was Annexed, London, Ont., Dec. 21--According to a letter received by a London wo- man from a friend who has just left Germany, the people of the kaiser's empire, were thrown into ecstacies recently over announcements in the German press to the effect that Can- ada had been annexed by Germany. | Proposal "carried to a point where its appar: "JUST AS GOOD." People Should Not Stand For Substi. tution. - Readers of the Daily/British Whig will find in -its frin by from time to time advertisements for the Na- tional Anti-Substitution League car- rying its slogan, "Get What You Ask For." Tuase appeals deserve the earnest considerations of evny consumer, Iveriising has besa ance in reputable publications is i+. itself a hallmark of respectabilliy, honesty and merit. No product which is _.not all that is claimed foe it can stand the glare of publicity attendant upon a great campaign of advertising. If it does aot stand it, the people want it, and. there i8 no reason why they should oot have it. : As_an obstacle te the confumer who knows what he wants and _asks for it. there is a dealer here and there who tries to palm off "something Just as good." Most of us know the story. Investigation in most instan- ces will show that the article 'just as good," is a preparation which fas been made by the dealer himself and which may or may not in- terior, or which is palpably inferior and has been gold to him at a price which will enable si€ater profit. The better class of dealers recognized that their success depend upon giving the people what they want. They pride themselves on having what their customers want. They are not to be found ar Zuing with prospective customers why they should take something dif ferent from that which is asked for Most of us have had experiences something like the following: We have asked for a certain widely-ad- vertised brand of tooth powder. The dealer says he has 'something just a8 good." Either he does not keep the other, or else he will say that it has been advertised So extensive- ly that the manufacturers have been compelled to lower the quality. Not being fortified with the stamina or the fore-knowledge necessary to withstand his weak argument, we have taken the article which he for- ces upon us. The result in almost every case is that from the very first we recognize an inferior pre. aration. It is important to keep this in mind--that advertising is a protec- .on to the consumer, and in a mea- sure a guarantee of quality. No product which worth the great expense of national advertiging campaign can be de- ficlent in quality. And if the advertising be continued, it is cer tain also that the quality must be maintained. Otherwise the money spent for publicity will be away. And let cause be him to make a have must is a thrown nobody tell you that be- advertising costs money the cost of it is taken from the product. The fact is that advertising, while on its fact expensive, enables the manufacturer, or distributor to reach infinitely more people than can be reached in any other way. Thus his field is extended, his mar- ket widened, his sales vastly multi- plied and his profits measurably in- creased, enabling him to better the quality rather than compelling him to cheapen it. The safe rule is to ask for adver- tised goods, and see that you get them. FORTY YEARS AN M.P,, Toiled Underground as a Boy, and Rose to Position of Honor. London, Dec. 21--Advancing age and infirmity are the causes assign- ed by Thomas Burt for his retire- ment from parliament after forty years of unbroken representation of the riding of Morpeth. As a labor member, and representative of the Miner's Union, Mr. Burt is one of the oest known and most respected men in the County of Northumberland. As a boy he toiled underground, and literally worked his way up to his honored position among. his fellow- miners. His freedom from the us- ual characteristics of a demagogue, with his comparative taciturnity, have enabled him to secure all the more readily a hearing from the House of Commons, particularly on labor problems, on the occasions when he rose to catch the speaker's aye. VOTES FOR MARRIED WOMEN. Mayor and Council Concur in Request for Referendum. Cobourg, Dec. 21--Cobourg coun- cil ubanimously granted the request df a number of women who waited {ipon them, asking that a referendum be submitted to the electors in Janu- ary upon extending the municipal franchise to married women.
