The reasons for the impending ad- vance are:
 First. Matters Furs.-The chief sources of supply, France, Belgium and Australia, are sending few, if any, skins to this country France and Belgium have no men available to collect skins. Australia has recently put an embargo on matters fur skins. This is also true of New Zealand There is very little fur in the deal CTS hands, and what there is is held at prices from 75 per cent to 100 per cent higher than the market prices of 1913
 Second. Dyes.-Dyestuffs used by hat manufacturers have advanced tre- mendously in price besides being very scarce and difficult. to obtain. The purchase price in most instances does not represent the actual advance, ow- ing to the lack of strength and pene- trating qualities used to obtain satls- ia results. The proper dyeing of hats today is one of the most difficult and serious problems with which a manufacturer has to contend
 "Third. Trimmings. Hat bands and bindings, sweat feathers, silk thread, and all the many small iterSs of materials used in trimming hats have advanced greatly in price, and the more important articles, such as bands and feathers, are very difficult to obtain, regardless of price.
 Fourth. abor.-Labor has re- ceiyed substantial advances over 19Ao schedules.

WHY HAT PRICES
 MUST ADVANCE
sAFFERsToNE HAT COMPANY POINTS OUT WHY HATS. ABOVE ALL THINGS, MUST SHOW
 EARLY ADVANCE.

All four things entering into the manufacture of hats-with the excep- ton of straw, and the man who wears hat of this composition right now will not only feel, but really be, un- comfortable-are so hard to obtaln, prices must advance rapidly.
 A very concise statement setting forth the reasons for the advances has been issued by the Safferstone Hat Company, and ll is so logical that it cannot be denied, and those who handle hats, if they are wise, will get in before another advance comes.
 Fifteen of the leading hat manu- lecturers of the United States recent ly held conference to see what they could do to secure materials wltn which to make hats, and to cope With the demand for winter goods. ms meeting resulted in a statement to the iobbers of the United States, and the Safferstone Hat Company hands the information on down to tho trade.

manufacturers have to face is the supply, price and quality of matters fur Manufacturers have enough fur on hand to make hats for a limited time, but there is no doubt that they will have to, advance their prices, in dependent of additional costs indicat- ed in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 quoted above, when the present stocks of fur are exhausted
 Your attention is called to the con dition enumerated above to enable you to prepare your customers for the advances in the prices of hats. These advances in prices MUST be made 70 maintain qualities you have been buy ing and qualities on which your hat business has been establishqd"

 Our negroes are buying almost any thing in sight says MT. Harrell, "and no one can tell what negro will buy. They all have money and arel spending it. If they see anything that strikes their fancy, they do not stop at the price, for they have the money to buy anything they want. The negro women are purchasing ready-made clothing largely. and they are willing to pay good prices, for they demand good goods.

Gently died and his senior disciple, La
ma Akewangyenlinpul is now in Pc

into Tibet In search of a young boy
in whom the soul Of the old Hutuhktu
has been reincarnated.
The Chinese government has grant,
ed the Lama the use of private car
to the end of the government railway
in Mongolia, and from that point he
will proceed by caravan into Tibet,
where he will search for young Bud
dha to replace his old master.
Inquiries will be made by him in
Tibet for boys born in a miraculous
way, with divine signs, such as a red
light or other forms Of supposed d.
vine manifestations, at about the time
the old Hutuhktu passed away. All
the boys thus secured will be then
carried to Lhassa, where their names
will be written on slabs Of wood and
placed in a golden urn. The boy
whose name is first drawn out after
due ceremony will be declared the re-

THE SPIRIT OF CANADA.
(Montreal Gazette J


There is need for Great Britain put
ting all her energy into preparation
for what VIII come in the spring, if
the spring Is awaited, to push the
campaign in the west to conclusion.
The idea that the Teutonis allies can
be quickly worn down is not being
justified by events. They hold in
Europe more territory Of the Entente
Powers than they did year ago. The
additional strength needed to make
effective what was begun during the
terrible Somme drive can hardly
come from anywhere than the Brit
ish empire. The men that can be
made ready during the next three or
four months are likely to decide
whether the result of the long strug-
gle will be a success for Great Britain
and her Allies ora draw that will be
only less unsatisfactory than defeat
Great Britain is going the whole length
in requiring from her men, and even
from>her women, sefvice in the war
or in providing materials for the men
in the war. The government of Can
ada is making a final moral appeal
to the manhood Of the country. 1t
may be necessary to supplement- it by
the offering Of a substantial bounty to
Mt men who enlist'\so that when next
summer comes the places of the de-
parting corps will be taken by men
In training for whatever possibilities
may develop. Considerations Of cost
or shS coEyenience Of individuals can
no io-se1 ~ount. In going the whole
length necessary, the people of Can
ada will be behind the ministersA just
as those of Great Britain will be be-
hind the strong man who, being tried
in many ways and found efficient. has
been trusted with the supreme direc-
ton of the public affairs of his coun-
try at the most gravely critical time
in it's history.
