Northrup, - Tribune Bldg Manager. THE NEW CANADIAN LOAN. Canada's federal war loan was launced on Monday On that day, agreeable to'the announcements re sgpecting it, the first orders were given, and it is understood jhat the loar will be fully taken up, if the amount of it will not be over-sub- scribed Northrup, The terms of the loan are very fa- | vorable The bonds carry on their face five per cent. interest, but they are being sold at 97%, which means that the investor will get about five and a half per cent. for his money. The loan can be taken up in install- ments during the next six months, or it can be taken up at once, and on the date of the first installment, and in this case a discount of Tour per cent, will be allowed. The loan is favored for several rea- sons It is for patriotic purposes, and every one who has one hundred dollars or more toi e will be glad to invgstit in this security. He will be glad also to endorse an experi- ment which should work out well. Be- fore the war Canada borrowed for all purposes $200,000,000 a year from Britain, and the earnings upon this investment went out of the country for good. In future, starting from this time, and from a peculiar expe- rience, the money of Canada will be kept at home, and. ofit of the surplus earnings of the people enough can be found annually to meet ail the wants # of the day, industrially and other- wise. Finally, the security will be ap- preciated because of the terms upon which it is issued. It will be exempt from he local taxes due upon bonds "and debentures when held by private persons or corporations, and that is an advantage which the insurance companies, the banks, and others have carefully and accurately esti- mated. VALUE OF THE TEETH. In Toronto, on Dec. 7th, an im- portant convenslod mill Be held. It will be for the nefit of dentists largely, but willlinterest and em- ~brace all whe are -gancerned about the care of the teeth, especially of On this occa- sion there will be a demonstration of the real value of centralized as against localized clinics as they will be represented by Boston and Toron- to experts. Kingston is interest- ed in this demonstration, and the Inspector of Schools should be asked to attend the convention and t upon it to the Board of Education. Dentistry, and the part it is play- ing in the welfare of the individual, was never so pointedly exemplified as during this war. © When recruit- ing was called for in/Canadd a large number of men, acceptable in every other wity, were rejected on account of * their teeth. Ag" the campaign proceeded the order of the Depart- ment was necessarily m and 'men were accepted who were willing 10 have their teeth improved arti- ficially. Still later, as recruiting became more urgent and eligible men became scarcer, the Department was willing to accept all good men md fix their teeth. Hence the Ahrift of the dentist in every mili- tary centre. All this is very igstructive.
