A most striking example of the growth of the Trade Mark idea in Can- ada is being announced for the first today in the newspapers throughout the dominion. It is the "NA-DRU-CO" line of about one hun: dred and twenty-five toilet and medi: cinal preparations, compounded by the National Drug and Chemical company of Canada, limited. All these preparations bear the NA- DRU-CO Trade Mark, the shield with the red cross, prominently displayed, and to make the line still more dis tinctive each article is attractively dressed in a pleasing shade of red. In their first advertisement, which appears on another page in this lssue; the National Drug company feature this Trade Mark. They point out some of the important advantages te every family in Canada of a thorough- ly reliable, easily recogmized line, cov- ering practically every household need in the way of toilet and medicinal ar guaranteed by a responsi ble firm. The National Drug company guaran- tee that every NA-DRU-CO prepara- tion is compounded by qualified chem- ists only, and from the purest drugs. As a proof that the formulae are such as the best physicians would use, they make a unique offer which completely often creep into one's mind with regard to medi cinal preparations, Their "Money Back' offer helps still more to inspire confidence in the NA. DRU-CO line, whose variety and ecom- plateness is shown by the partial list given in their advertisement. Their Bosses, Winnipeg Free Press.

"Fait} oir grace,' retorted the man wih the wood-blocks, "an' how do you lik havin' one yourself * No one was more delighted than ti, ar-hbishon, who went in person to the nearest hat store, where he fitted th. muddy Irishman with the finest hat he had ever worn. A Night Thought. Of John Sloan, the brilliant etcher, a story was told the other night at the Franklin Inn {no Philadelphia. *I used to take long walks with Sloan," said an essayist, "when he lived here. He had an original and in- teresting mind, 'Nature is often beautiful," he said one evening, as we walked in the park. 'But to-night how hideous she is ?' "Here Sloan shuddered. 'But, my dear Sloan," 1 objected, 'look at the stars. Surely they're very fine to-night.' "Sloan looked up, them frowned and shook his head ad, "Oh, yes,' bad, but them."
