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

Canada's census for 1921 indicated n
total population Of $780, S9, distrib-
uted as follows: New Brunswick, 3S7,-
500; Nova Scotia, 523,S37; Prince Ed
ward island, S9,615; Quebec, 2,349,-

613,OOS; British Columbia, 523,363;
Yukon, 4,162; Northwest territories,
6,6S4, and Canadian navy, ass. The
gain for the whole Dominion during
191O-192O, was 100000 or 21.5 per
cent. The war cost the lives Of 56,680
Canadians killed In action, while 40
900 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 So per cent In

GOLD TEETH OUT OF STYLE
Present Trend Is to Preserve Tooth
and Make IL Look as Much Like
Original as Possible. II

Gold teeth are going out of STYLE
according to practitioners and dentnK'
experts. The present trend is TO pre-
serve the tooth TO make II look as
near as possible like II 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 ara
~unhealthful and permit foreign matter
to get into the teeth. Il
Bridge work also is not Us popu-
lar as 1t once was. To make a bridge
two good teeth were filed down N
anchors for the mass OF gold in be-
tween. II the bridge failed the two
good teeth on the ends went with II.
Now dentists recommend Q plate ~
false teeth instead Of the bridge:
These being removable, are easily
kept clean. The dental science is now
spending Its energies more on sarve
iceable plates rather than on bridges,
or crowns.-New York Sun.

Suppose a funeral passed your
house with $4,000 hearses, each hearse
containing an American business firm.
1t would be impressive, wouldn't 1t?
It would also give you an accurate
idea of the number of business fail

haven't tumbled SO very much for some
things. But don't get gloomy over it.
Standing on curbstones watching their
brethren go to Dun & Bradstreet's

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 600 a year in liabilities.
Assets have averaged about enough TO

HUSBAND ROUGHLY HANDLES NEGRO WHO
 INSULTS HIS WIFE

Johnny Moss, negro, 224 Twenty fifth street, south, was yesterday aft ernoon arrested by Detectives O. D. Brown and G. M. Bragan, charged with two cases of disorderly conduct, aggravated, and in addition is being held for further investigation, fol- lowing his alleged misconduct to- wards a white woman, resident of Thirtieth street, south.
 Moss, according to the officers, forced himself in the company of the woman, and walked down South Twenties street with her despite her protestations. As the two neared Third avenue, the husband of the woman appeared and was severely handling the negro when the two de- tectives arrived upon the scene.
 The woman stated, according to the officers, the occurrence of yesterday afternoon was the second time the negro had humiliated her, the first offense being committed yesterday morning, when the black called on her at her place of employment on Fourth avenue. She said that the negro only left after she had threat ened to summon policemen. She said that the negro was formerly an ele- vator boy in the First National bank building.
 Detective Bragan declared that Moss was under the influence of in- toxicants when arrested.
