Testifies Belore Committee Ottawa, April 12, = A tremend voterans at present was due to the incomplete preparation of claims, Lt. Col. C. Beresford Topp, D. 8. 0. secretary of the Iederal Ap- peal Board, told the special parlia- mentary committee on returned poldiers problems yesterd,y. There wore no Inherent defects in the Panstons Act, beyond the fact that the provisions for enabling the soldiers to prepare his application were totally Inadequate, Since its inception, the board had reviewed 12,000 casos of those 8,600 had been allowed: 4,000 were still awaiting: 4,000 were outside of the board's jurisdiction, and 1,000 were imperial cases, Col. Topp produced the fyle of a soldier who had unsuccessfully entered a claim for peasion, The Board of Pensons Commissioners had rejocted the application with the comment that the dizablifty from which the man suffered at present was 'post-discharge', The man's fyle showed him to have had long service in France, but from 1019 , the your of his deomobiliza- tion, to 1920, when ho npplied for pension, thers was not a shred of evidence Indicating what the man's condition had been during this de cade, Need of Preparation While the board's decision was sound, commented General Gries bach, the ease served to show the paramount need of bettor prepara tion. 1f facilities had been at the disposal of this man to prepare his ease, it someone had beon available to dig up all the evidences which, he sald, must have been in exist. ence in that ten years, it is not improbable that the man might have heon awarded a pension, Colonel Topp's experience had hoen that the soldiers' advisers did not, in o large number of cases Outside of the large centres tho woldlers advisers did not come in personal contact with 75 percent of the ap plioants. A word on behalf of the soldiers' advisers was voiced by G. B, Bows ler, of Ottawa, who thought that oriticisms of inadequacy and ine competency were not In line with his own experience. Mr, Bowler tyled with the committea a report on the nctivities of soldiers' ad- visors, In a great many cases tho lack of preparation was duo to the applicant himself, Liout, Colonel I, R, Lafleche D, 8. O., representing the associated soldiers' organizations, informed tho committee that after the East. or recess he would be prepared to submit proposals regarding the new machinery which was to be oraated for the administration of the Penalons Act, The committea then adjourned until after the holidays, FLIN FLON NURSE "DIES OF DISEASE "PATIENT SUFFERED The Pas, Man, April 12, «= Nurse Elsie Perrie, 22, of Winnipeg, died yesterday of Spinal Meningitis at I'he Pas, hospital.

What Others Say SHOPPING IN OSHAWA To the Editor, Sir « Your comments in a regent issue upon the subject of Shopping at home Exhibitions raises an interesting question of vital importance to local merchants and to the financial stas bility of Oshawa in general, "Why do women residing in Osh. awa buy in or from Toronto?" The obvious answer would be="hecausc it's cheaper." The answer, besides being obvious, is only partly true; it is also superficial, It does not go deep enough, The local merchant is up against something much stron. ger far more subtle than mere ques. tions of comparative prices, The local merchant is perpetually fights ing the lure of the big city, Ile may or may not know it, but the more he is conscious of it, recognizes it as a fact, and acts accordingly, the greater will be his chunces of getting the patronage he ought to get, or ol holding what he, already has, From time immemorial, the some- thing big has always tended to dom- inate and attract the something lit- tle; the crowd attracts the individual and the individual respondsi the larger numbers of a larger communs ity exercise a potent appeal to the smaller numbers of a smaller com munity; this aspect of the herd in- stinet. inherent in human beings always was, is, and always will be, And this is precisely what the lo- dal business man has to inherent with: the" drawing power inherent in the big city and its big stores, simply because it and they are big, And it is human nature to respond, The close proximity of Toronto, and existing transportation facilities combine to add strength to the na- tural attraction of Toronto for the resident of Oshawa with. dollars to spend: and time in which to spend them. + A trip to the big city is, 10 the average woman of [limited leis sure, an cyent to be anticipated aud | and end up a perfect day with even break then enjoyed, It satisfies theeternal primal instinct in women---curiosity to sce what's going on in Toronto, The big stores will do the rest. So we sce what the local merchant is up agamnst, The woman who takes her husband's or her own savings an spends them in Toronto is not neces- sarily selfish, she is not essentially thoughtless: she is just obeying an instinctive urge that determines her actions and will nat be denied unless some other impulse takes its place, Can that impulse be supplied? The writer believes it can, However na- ture «is something to be directed and controlled, not to be followed with- Qut reason or common sense. Let us take the question 'of prices first, It is casily conceivable that the big stores in Toronto with their greater purchasing powers, can in some ins stances, undersell the local merchant, This is a condition of affairs, which to a limited extent, probably cannot and never will be, altogether elim. inated. Yet it really ought not to be possible vor a resident of Oshawa to go up to Toronto, pay for her trans. portation, buy a lot of things she wants, incidentally have a good time, i un from a finuncial stand- This is one aspect of the pro- mer- point, blem that is up to the local chant and him alone, The rest resolves itself into a mat. ter of education, The local merchant, having recognized the forces he is compelled to fight--the magnetic lure of the big city plus the universal de- sire to buy in the cheapest market, should cast his eye around and see what can be done in his own parti. cular domain, The human element is no better fundamentally, in Toronto than in Oshawa, and the personnel part of that to which we give the generic term "Service" should be encouraged and trained to equal the best that can be tound in Toronto in matters of courtesy and capability, But the point that needs stressing is the subject of advertising; not fit» ful or spasmodic, but persistent and consistent; confident in its own ag- gressivencss; day in and day out with never a break, The writer has had many years experience in newspaper advertising, though not now in game, and knows that the one great thing about advertising, as sure and ce tain as the law of gravity itself, is its cumulative effect, As the cons tinnal dropping of water will wear away a stone, so will reasoned, con- tinuous advertising infringing on the public consciousness or create a re- sponsiveness that will inevitably ex press itself in purchases and sales. Nor will the process be unduly pro. longed in producing visible cash re- sults, After that the law of cumula- tive effect will have its inexorable sway, The writer spegifically mentions newspaper advertising because this is the one medium of publicity of all others that will effectively cover the needs of the local merchant like a table cloth covers a table, The news. paper gets into the home, and the evening publication in particular is perused when the reader is in a highly receptive frame of mind, The evening newspaper especially enables the man or the woman with some. thing to sell ta get hold of poten. tial buyers at the right and best time, particularly when the goods will be offered for sale on the fol- lowing day. There are psychological laws involved here that need not be mentioned, Personal contact is valuable: we all know that, but not many people appreciate to the full, the potentialis ties that lic within the sheet of an evening 'newspaper, Tt offers the biggest and the most effective wea. pon with which the local merchant can successfully fight the lure of the big city, and affords him an eppors tunity of so directing the curiosity and interest of women that their own stores will attract and satisfy those printal instincts aftener than is now the case, Yours, A LOVER OF OSHAWA, A kiss, a sigh, & fond goodbye, And she is gone, A smile, a curl, another girl; The world moves om the) 2 Glasses Water, Not Too Cold, Help ( Constipation One glass water is not enough. == take 2 glasses a half hour before breakfast, You get quicker and bets ter results by adding a little simple glycerin, saline, ete, (known as Ade lerika) to one glass. : Unlike other remedies, Adlerika acts on BOTH upper and lower, bowel and removes old poisons you never thought were in your system, Adleriks stops GAS and sour stome ach in 10 minutes) Relieves cone stipaiior. in 2 hours.
