The sale ar- rangement involved a transaction whereby the Somerville Company as- sumed a mortgage for $50,000, pay- able in legal money of Canada, or in gold if demanded by the mott- gagee. The present exchange condi- tions have prompted the Américan Chicle Company, who hold the mort- | gage, to demand payment in gold. Under an order-in-council passed by the Domimion Government in 1917, the banking institutions are allowed to pay their llabilities in other than gold, bu' no provision was made for private individuals or Thus it will be seen {that a concern while willing and ready to meet such an obligation in !| legal money of the country, would be Coood Eyesight Your eyes are your bread winners--takie care of them.
