\ DUAL ADVANTAGE OF ADA. The profit in advertisements 'is not alone for the advertiser. He pays for the space used and profits by the. fact that they are read by the syb- scribers to the paper; customers are informed as to the wares mention- ed and attracted to his place of busi- ness. They are direct messages sént by the advertiser to the reader of the paper. When the message is not received then the advertisement loses its worth. There must be two parties in this to make it profitable for efther. 1 The profit which accrues to the receivers or ' readers of advertise- ments are many. In the first place, time is saved by ascertaining wltere and when to buy either necessities or luxuries, or wher# to fl the kind of amusement desired.

Once more comes word that Ger- many is preparing to admit la- bility for the loss of American lives and damage to property caused by the sinking of the Lusitania. The German representatives on the mixed claims commission whe have arrived at Washington are said to be under direct 'instructions from Berlin to this effect. May 7th last was the eight anniversary of the dis- aster. For eight years Germany has refrained from making an attempt at the only reparation posfible. Dur- ing most of that time she has ob- istinatley declined fo admit the Bar- barity of the deed, so contrary to the laws of civilized warfare. On May 1st, 1915¢ the Lusitania | left New York with a crew of; 600 and 1,250 passengers, of whom 188 were Americans. She was unarmed and there were no guns, high ex- plosives or loaded shells in her cargo. On May 7th she was hit by a German submarine's torpedo ten miles off the southwestern coast of Ireland and sank in twenty-one min- utes. The victims numbered 1,154 of whom 758 were passengers. Every claim put forth by the German gov- ernment to justify. the outrage has been absolutely disproved. There Were no troops aboard the Lusi- tania. She was an unarmed mench- ant vessel. The sworn statement of American port officials, who made a thorough inspection before sailing, that thepe were no guns aboard the Lusitania, has recently been publisfi- ed in full: Judge Mayer, of the fed- eral district court of New York, de- cided that the vessel carried 'neither guns nor explosives. Under the rules of war the Lusitania was a fair prize for the enemy. She might be captured and taken into a German port, or she might be sunk after all aboard had been removed to "a place of safety." But there has never been the slightest warrant for the destruction of a ship with her passengers. Germany's belated ar- tempted reparation is said to. be "largely" designed as a gesture of friendship = toward the United States." But no expression of re- Pentance or grief can offset the demonstrations of joy which, accord- ing to reliable report, took place throughout Germany on the day af. ter the destruction of the Lusitania. * ALL MUST PULL TOGETHER. Agricultural, industrial and oom- mercial prosperity can only come through mutual goodwill and co-op- eration on the part of ail classes in the Dominfon of Canada that con- tribute in any way towand our écon- omic development. So dependent fis modern industrial and commercial life upon freedom from artificial ob- structions that any interference with the customary channels through which business flows, any crippling of production or faflure to properly estimate and meet the demands of the consuming markets is bound to have far-reaching consequences. We know this from repeated experience, and the recurrent periods of adéeler- ation in basiness, boom conditions, shortage of labor, high wages, in- flated prices, all of which are in turn | dustry and retain or increasa THE DAILY the same flasco enacted over and [take the platform and assert b grafting' had not been proved against over again. . Some statements made by A. F. Hatch, chairman of the Ontario di- Yision of the 'Canadlan Manufact- urers; A iation, at a meeting in Toronto on Thursday; are of parti- cular Interest in the consideration of our. present economic" situation. He said that in spite of adverse conditions in foreign markets Can- adlan industry was showing con- tinued improvment. Comparing the year 1922 and the years immediate) ly preceding the war, it was disclos- ed that Canada experienced marked progress while other industrial na- tions had not recovered. Our total bank assets increased 70 per cent. total deposits 99 per cent, bank notes in circulation, 68 per cent. value of field' crops 68 per cent, value of industrial production 183 per cent. Bank deposits amount to upwards of two billion dollars, or $250 per capita! ; Mr. Hatch made an effective ap- peal for co-operation between the farmers and manufacturers whose in- terests were not conflicting but identical. The development of man- ufacturing industries means increas- ed population and, consequently, a bigger home market for the con- sumption of agricultural products. He thought it to the advantage of the Canadian farmers, particularly the Ontario farmers, to support such a policy especially when the United States has practically shut out Can- Adian farm products, and European countries appear to be too poor to increase ' very greatly their pur- chases of Canadian farm produce. ;The Canadian' homé market the market upon which farmers must rely . when export market is precarious; and if by , supporting policies that are calculated to develop home in- our consuming population, the farmers oan sell more of their products, they will most assuredly be serving their own interests. is our the THE CONJURER'S HAT: "What do you want?" asks the politictan to-day ds he faces his audience prepared to expound a for- mula that is calculated to open the way to happiness and contentment. He is fortunate if he can find an audience anywhere that knows what it wants, or that has not in some way become impregnated with pet theor- ies on sotial, economic and political matters which when examined re- mind one of the pictures of the cu- bists who presist that their distor- tions are the only true expressions of art. : But still this question is one that has to be answered and it will be well for the country if there can be found a majority of the people suf- ficiently practical, broad-minded and impersonal to answer it, not in the interest of any particular self-seek- ing class or group, but mocording to well defined principles at the bot- tom of which lie natural harmony of all interests. Discussing political unrest in the United Statos the other day, Post- mastér General New admitted that there was a lack of cohesion obser- vable tn both the Republican d Democratic parties, and hinted at an early reduction in taxes. "There are some things," said be, "that aif administration cannot do. Jt can- not guarantee that you will be hap- pily married, that your children will not bave the croup, or make the most respected ' citizens jSmmune from physical flis. But whet, we do want now is more faith and less criticlsm--faith in our country and faith. in the party to which we be- jong." The Democratic party has four clearly marked divisions. William Jennings Bryan says the party must be "dry" or go down in a flood, while Governor Smith and his fac. tion insist upon marching to victory under the banner of the "wets." An- other group would make the League of Nations the solé issue in the next campaign, while a fourth faction will not hear of the League.

Again the Matter of Overweight. I am questioned so frequently about overweight that another short talk will not come-amiss. . / Remember there are the two kinds of overweight. First. the one that Is in the family, the kind you in- herit. You have always been a little overweight. Then there is the kind that ig acquired at the age of 27 to 37. "dni latter comes because you still have a good appetite, but have stopped getting the amount of evercise necessary' . You see your position in life has become establish- ed and you settle into the chair, the bench, the Mmousine and so forth, and the food you take in never gets completely burned. This means a depesit of fat first just under the skin, then In around the. muscles, and then finally about the inner or- gans. It is an easy thing to allow it to acoumulate, If you are strong you carry the weight pretty well, and carry it gracefully, If you are not strong, the extra weight becomes a burden to the organs of the body.
