CANADA HAS STEADY GROWTH
Recent Census Shows Healthy In
crease in Population, Despite
Losses Caused by War.

Canada's census for 1921 indicated a
total population of 8,769,4S9, distrib-
uted as follows: New Brunswick, 3S7,-
S39; Nova Scotia, 523,S37; Prince Ed
ward island, S8,615; Quebec, 2,349,-
OCT; Ontario, 2.929,054; Manitoba,
613,00S; British Columbia, 523, 1868 /;
Yukon, 4,162; Northwest territories,
6,684, and Canadian navy, 49,. The
gain for the whole Dominion during
1910-1920, was 100000 or 21.5 per
cent. The wal cost the lives of 56,6S0
Canadians killed in action, while 49,
600 more died from indirect causes.
The percentage increase in population
is the same as that for Australia, while
the increase for New Zealand 20 per
cent was very little behind. In the Union
of South Africa the increase was 1872
per cent. The Prairie provinces made
the most pronounced gain in Canada,
Alberta showing a 55 per cent in
crease; Saskatchewan over 80 per
cent, and Manitoba, SO per cent. For
the next ten years the unit of distribu-
ton for determining the membership
of parliament will be 36,250. This total
is arrived at by dividing by So the
population of each province.

WOULD TAKE MANY HEARSES
Firms That Have Died Since Drop in
Prices Would Make Large
Funeral.

Suppose a funeral passed your
house with $4,000 hearses, each hearse
containing an American business firm.
1t would be impressive, wouldn't it?
1t would also give you an accurate
idea of the number of business fail
ures since prices began to tumble in
May, 1920, Notwithstanding they
haven't tumbled so very much for some
things. But don't get gloomy over it.
Standing on c~urbstones watching their
brethren go to Dun & Bradstreet's
cemetery, are nearly 100000 business
organizations that have weathered the
storm. In two years of severe de-
preston only one business in every
fifty-three has failed. The percentage
of farmers that have gone broke is
larger. Business failures have totaled
about 100000 900 a year in liabilities.
Assets have averaged about enough to
pay so per cent on the dollar. The net
loss has been about $300,000,0O0 a
year, or about So a year for each Amer
lean. Might be much worse, remarks

GOLD TEETH OUT OF STYLE
Present Trend is to Preserve Tooth
n Make 1t Look as Much Like
Original as Possible.

Gold teeth are going out of STYLE
according to practitioners and dental
experts. The present trend is to pre-
serve the tooth to make it look as
near as possible like it was originally
If this can't be done the offending
molar or incisor must be pulled out.
The idea of pulling teeth is some
thing comparatively new in American
dentistry. The tendency was TO save
the tooth at all costs. But dentists
have discovered that gold crowns are
unhealthful and permit foreign matter
to get into the teeth.
Bridge work also is not as popu-
lar as it nee was. To make a bridge
two good teeth were filed down as
anchors for the mass of gold in be-
tween. If the bridge failed the two
good teeth on the ends went with it.
Now dentists recommend a plate OF
false teeth instead of the bridge
These being removable, are easily
kept clean. The dental science is now
spending its energies more on sery-
plates rather than on bridges
or crowns.-New York Sun. &

VX7HILE Clarice has it's origin IN
w the same root as Clare or Clara,
its evolution progressed in a far oil
ferent manner. The Latin adjective
clarus, meaning bright or famous, is
of course responsible for both names,
but where Glare followed the English
and French, Clarice is the product OF
Italy.
The old Latin feminine of words
ending in ''or'' to signify the doer,
was 'ix"; in modern Italian this be-
comes "ice.'' Clarice, therefore, was
the feminine name so evolved and
"to make famous" 1t proved
popular throughout Italy, its famous
bearer probably being the wife of
Lorenzo de Medici.
Though France already had a Claire,
she adopted Clarice, giving a soft "ss'
sound to the &C." This explains the
Clarissa which sprang up in England
and was given extraordinary vogue
by Richardson in his novel wherein he
made Clarissa his heroine. The popu-
larity of this book in France brought
forth Clarisse. 1t is not the first IN

Why q
DO SERVANTS
WEAR LIVERY

A S MIGHT be deduced from the
"A fact that the word livery is of
French origin-derived from the verb
"livrer," ito deliyer"-the custom of
clothing servants IN a uniform started
in France where it was the habit of
the early French kings to give
clothes to their servants. Because
these outfits were given or delivered
free of charge, the uniforms were
spoken of as 'Iiveres" and the Gus
tom gradually spread until all Of
the nobility and even some of the
gentry were clothing their servants.
As a means OF differentiating between
the servants of various houses, the
uniforms were made of contrasting
colors and varying styles, and the
French verb, when translated into
English, became livery"
In England, however, the term has
had a number Of meanings. During
the reign of Edward ~, for example,
