The campaign for greater produe- tion in ada last year was vigort the authorities and by civic committees.

ADVERTISING. This war has given many move- ments a wonderful impetus. HK has assured the success of woman suf- frage in Great Britain and the Un- ited States and established a demo- cracy in Ressia. It has, almost over- night, brought campeting and pri- vately owned railway systems under national controkl. It has also de- monstrated the power of advertising While in volume, attractiveness, credibility and selling force, adver- tising has made wonderful strides within recent years, it is only in its beginning. Before this war, faith in newspaper advertising was circum- scribed. "We used it to drum up customers, to create good will, to brace business against competition, to sell land and crockery and jim- cracks--but who ever thought of pages of display in newspapers, out- gide the realm of trade. Now we know better. Since August, 1914, enough new uses for the newspaper advt. have been dis- vered- to have forever broadened ts functions.. Within three short years paid newspaper display has risen to mew dignity and power. Z'It has marshalled armies," as one writer puts it; 'it has raised bil- lions, it has electrified slow-moving, Yorkewarm, self-satisfied democra- cles--and soliditied them behind their Governments." "This is quite true. Only prompt enlightenmen could ever have stirred up the inert millions of Canada, the United States and Great Britain to pronipt and comprehensive mea- sures to meet the tremendous emer- gency growing out of the invasion of Belgium---and jt was the newspaper THE POWER OF Without the ich they supplied at the outbreak of war, we would now. be almost as tangled, divided and helpless as Russia.

Jan. may have to eat bread made from flour in which there is a greater milling percent- age of wheat retained tham in the very fine flour at present milled, it is a mistake to predigt that "war bread" will be consumed in the Do- minion, for the present at least.
