Remarks the Montreal Gazette: The
preliminary statement Of the revenue
and expenditure Of Canada for the
year, as interpreted by government
authorities, shows a surplus Of about
the debt of about nineteen millions
Some financers may wonder how this
state Of affairs can be, and how
country can add to its wealth while It
increases its debt twice as fast as IT'S
assets. They would never 10 as lead

A pupil in one Of the grades az
Brownell school startled his teacher

pupil. 1T tells here about youth
that had one Of 'em CROWN on his

Because the clam has not been Gull
tivated and coddled like the oyster,
the natural clam beds hereabouts are
becoming gradually barren and
stripped, bewails the New YORK
World. Fridays favorite, the clam
chowder, may now be dearer than OF
yore. Little Necks on the halfshell,

You must not only induce a few buy
ers to use your goods at first, but
induce them to keep on using your
goods all the time by steady appllca-

the engineer gets his train started he
will not be carried very far by the
momentum if he cuts off the steam.
But it doesn't take as much steam
or as vigorous advertising to keep
going after the start. Probably that is
what The Commercial Union was
trying to say. The longer merchant
advertises in a newspaper the less it
costs him to get results.
