The newspaper that carries a good line of advertisements is to the shopper what the time table is to the | traveller and the published guide is | people in to the tourist. Buay will study these advertisements the home or in the office as they do a time table, and before they start out shopping they have determined where they are going. The newcomer or the visitor in the city finds the advertising col- umns of a newspaper a reliable guide to follow, just as he 'finds the print- ed guide for tourists to points of in- terest a matter of interest and time- saving. In fact, the stores, the in- dustries and the theatres are points of interest to all tourists, and the non-advertiser puts himself outside the pale of interest so far as strangers are concerned, OONSIDER THE HELLO GIRL.

Niggardliness and parsimony are absemt from real economy. It is generally good business to expend liberally rather than in a niggardly manner, Thrift is not in denying the necessary expenditures 'which must be made if there is to be de- velopment and healthy growth, The elimination of waste, the care- ful inspection of expenditures to lo- cate leaks, the system that knows where the money goes and that it gets value in return__that is the principle of economics which always accompanies the ability to increade steadily the sources of income, ADVERTISING INSURANCE. Is every man and woman in and around Kingston 'who ought to have fire insurance, life insurance, bur- glary imeurance, automobile insur- ance and the other kinds of insur- ance that compensate one for various vicissitudes of fate, fully protected? If 80, 'why are so many insurance agents calling upon busy folk who are often annoyed by their visits be- cause ill-timed solicitation interferes with pressing duties? If not, why are the various 'branches of the insurance business so little advertised--Iin comparison with the magnitude and usefulness of these interests--in the newspapers? Some few companies use the news- paper columns in this city, and they have found it decidedly advantage- ous, The Life Underwriters' Associ ation, of Toronto, representing one branch of the insurance business, did a certain amount of advertising last year in the British Whig. They found it so profitable--as they ac- knowledged in a recent Ritter to this J bewspaper--that they contracted to us? double the space this year. _ Inadequate insurance protection is usually. due to neglect.

Former Emperor Charief of Aus- tria-Hungary is dead. On Saturday Mist, in his exile home on Mada'ra {he passed away, far removed from {his native country end the court where he reigned supreme, With his death there passes away one more of the despots who, by their heart- less machinations, turned Europe into a charnel house of slaughter and brought about tlie greatest' war of history. It is generally accepted as a maxim that nothing should be said against ome who has died, and in the case of Charles, that feeling may be rather intensified by the lonely man- ner of his death in exile. Yet, the part played by the Hapsburg family in linking up with the Hohenzollerns in their efforts to subdue the rest of the world naturally comes to mind [in reading of his death, With the passing of Charles, the last of the Hapsburgs has gone, and with him the last hope of that no- torfous family of ever regaining | power in Austria-Hungary. There {will be few regrets because of his passing. His part in bringing Aus- tria-Hungary into the war is well- known, for although his grand-uncle, Emperor Franz Joseph, was on the the fateful deCision was taken. came to the ruled for about two years. They were years of strife, however, and | they culminated in November, 1918, | when he abdicated his throne sim- | |ultaneously with Wilhelm of Ger- {| many. Since then he made two un- | successful attempts to regain his throne, but they resulted in failure, {and he was sent to ignominious ex- { ile on Madeira. Outside of Vienna and Budapest, {there will be little sympathy for the { dead monarch. He was one of a line of despots who established an auto- cratic rule and governpd by the mail- ed fist rather than by just and de- mocratic means. He belonged to a | departed race, and one by one his | kin are being eliminated from posi- tions of power. Never again will his methods of government be permitted in the World, for the war wiped out the old autocracies; and while the new forms of government are not yet in a flourishing condition, they have come to stay, and rulers like Charles have no place in the future of Burope. In a few years the kaiser, too, will be gone, and, like Charles, he will be remembered for one thing only--{for his scheming and planning which plunged the world into the most disagtrous war in the history of humanity. Letters to the Eitr Music on the Square, Kingston, April 6.--(To the Edi tor): Could you tell us, the unem- ployed, why the R.C.H.A. band plays on the market? Don't you think it's a shame? To the men, it is a funeral. Wouldn't the band stand make a little bit of firing for some poor family, or is it a little tete-a- tete for the aristocracy? I would not for a moment say a word if it was playing for the amusement of the children on a Saturday after noon, or to some poor creatures at Rockwood asylum. We, the unem- ployed, thipk it may be a little liv- ener for some in authority at the court house or some poor prisoners in the cells, a kind of refreshner to buoy up their spirits, Now, Mr. Editor, give this your consideration and feel for those in distress, as you know bands will not We get all the music we want on Sundays at the Salvation Army Cita- del, pure and sweet. ~--TOM DAVIS and others. Editor's Note__The band stand would not be avaflable for firewood, as the timber belongs to the street raflway company which kindly loan- ed it for the purpose; in a few weeks this timber will be required by the railway. The band Is doing an un- selfish service in playing on the square three days a week. Its prac- tices might better be performed in 'the open where the people can en- Joy the music than in the rooms at the barracks, Why try to enjoy the musie, Mr. Davis?

Motion pictures of missionary work in Japan were shown at Sydenham street Methodist assembly hall on "| Thureday evening. This is new fea- ture in church lectures, and the large audience was greatly pleased. Rev. R. H. Bell, presided, and the demon- strator wiio operates the machine as a representative of the Methodist Bible House, explained its nse in edu- cation on missionary topiss. The pictures were splendid and give a most vivid impreesion of the life of the Japanese among whom the m sionaries are working. This real presentation of the call to Christians cannot fail to impress them with the needs of the people and their duty of sharing in such important Chris- tian work. ; .

I'celebrate the cistern pump in all my tireless rhyming; how brilliantly its waters jump, when it has had a priming! I work the handle down and up, and watch the gushing fluid, and quaff a gallon from the cup, as quaffed the old time Druid. They say that base and evil men are sell- ing bootleg brandy; in musty joint and squalid den they keep the pois- on handy. And customers go there and swill the stuff from frowsy flag- ons, then to the bomeyard on the hill they. go in creaking wagons. If they escape the bier and shroud, it may be they'll be blinded, and crip- pled, busted up and bowed, sick and broken winded. For booze is made of deadly thnigs, of powdered toads and henna, of warthog tusks and ser- pent stings, and chophouse pies and senna.
