And that's about all he will do. Canada needs a minister of labor who will do things, instead of sitting back and looking on. The decrease in the price of beef, as announced in (Whig advts. this week, was noted 'with pleasure by families of all classes. So used ars we to prices of foodstuffs going up, that it is looked upon as something of a marvel to see the price of even one commodity going down. The "movie has' come lor stay; its popularity proves that. The thinking citizen frequently regrets that the theatres are not used, to some extent at least, for educational purposes. They could peform a very useful service jin this respect without losing any of their enter- taining features. During the month of August Can- ada spent nearly $20,000,000 for war purposes, Such an. expenditure should suggest to every Canadian the need of putting forth every possible effort ¥o bring the war to a victorious close. We should "carry on" more vigorously than ever. Thrift and economy should be the watchwords of every Canadian. -- inh + A health expert says that it is a wasteful extravagance for working people to eat meat (or fish or eggs or fowl) more than once a day in cool woather, and an lajurious thing for them to eat it more than three times a week in hot weather. Meat is pretty poor nourishment, as com+ pared © with bread or potatoes or ns or macaroni and cheese, and a lot more expensive. : A ----------------------------.

Or do the advertis- erg and the readers find it mutually profitable? Editar and Publisher, of New York, vigorously upholds the latter contention it affirms that the expenditure means, for the advertiser, a part of his selling cost.

British Front, Sept. 13. Gen. von Ludendorff's indictment of Gen. yon der Marwitz's 2nd German Army for the defeat ¢f August 8th by the British is the most damning cri- ticism of the enemy's tactis and mor- ale since Gen. von Arnim wrote condemnatory report after Somme battle of 1916. The capture of this document by | the British comes fa another impor- tant document on thé enemy morale to back up the testimony of German prisoners that the old punch is no longer in the German military arm. Of German Amazing Leniency. Crimes by Germans against na tives 'were either suppressed or tol erated by the courts with amazing leniency. | The of Lieutenant Venuleth is a striking commentary on the German vaunts of superior civilization: This officer "held a court-martial on a native man and woman for theft of stock He con- stituted himself the president of the court, and. supplied practically the only evidence taken, with the réspit that the natives were condemned to be shet.. The poor creatures were not even present at their so-called Rippling Rhymes At the case The hanging habit f] fuse 4 while | y regions, | his | the | WORDS AND COIN | If words wou swat the raging fee, and lay a swath % Teutons fow, the would would end to-night; we've cBuntless lads who'd elocute the stuffing from over of his product by the retailer is vital to the manufacturer who ! would keep his costs at minimum | and his product at maximum of ex-| collence. Advertising affords cheapest and the only successful plan whereby the commodity of real merit finds its market. Thus, while advertising part of the selling expense, it reduces selling expenre to the lowest possible point, and be- comes a factor of ecdnomy for both the manufacturer and the retailer. the! is a PROFITING BY WAR. Andre Cheradame, a noted French critic," has lately published some very interesting and important fig- ures with profits and the need of adequate in- demnities. He explains very clearly how it is that the war has cost the Allies more per capita than it has cost the Hun. Germany, he says, spent in three years of war $332.50 per. head of. population, or $122.50 less than France gone has spent $444, or 389% moYe than Germany. Great Britain has spent $5569.75, or 237.25 more than Germany." Thus, while Germany bears a burden of 100, a Frenchman has to bear a bur- den of 138, and a British citizen has to bear a burden of 174. The differ- ence becomes still more striking it the war outlay of the two groups of beligerents be compared for the first three years of the war. During that time the Central Empires spent roughly $38,000,000,000; while the Allies spent $66,850,000,000 or $28: 850,000,000 more. This outlay does not include the war expenditures of Serbia, Rumania, Greece, Japan or the Unitéd States. Mr. Cheradame has drawn up' a staggering list of war profits ade by Germany. Di- viding the hooty into movable and im- movable property, he includes in the latter 212,000 square miles of terri- tory, valued at $32,000,000,000. In movable property he includes human material that has been enslaved, war, | material, food, raw materials, indus- trial plants, furniture, works of art, regard to Germany's war], the war lord Teut, and put his hosts to, flight. We've countless gents who spend their days inventing epi- gram and phrase, and hard boiled metaphor; the way they roast the Hun is great, and ought to jar tht Wilhelm skate---but words won't win the war. gent who buys some green thrift stamps brings ae | to the Prussian camps, far more than windy sharks, who keep their kopecks in their pance, but stand erect at every chance, to make a few remarks. Dig up, dig up, before you spiel! Dig up the bone, the buck, the wheel, the kroner and the yen! Godown in your tin savings bank, dig up the shilling and the franc, dig up the iron men! When ygu have stripped A the strongbox bare, then you may staid and paw the \ MH, _4 air until the cows come home; but) talk that isn't backed by wealth won't interrupt a Teuton's hedith, or cleave his crested dome. October comes--another "Loan" will call for every hard earned bone that patriots can raise; and he who buys himself a; bond does more to help our boys beyond, than all the s¢reeching joys. -- WALT MASON.
