WHY 1)0 NOT THE CHURCHES ADVERTISE Brantford, Lor. instance, the church advertisements have increased e from a few inches `to a whole page. These advertisements are prepared as carefully as a merchant prepares his . copy foe his advertisements. And why a Should not the churches ,advertise ? 41 There are hundreds of people in ev-ery town and village who belong to 4 no particular church, and who seldom enter the sanctuary; to r a if the has a message for these people church should finite them to .coxae to hear it. In this day of countless distrac- tions the church has got to make the tg ' favi L e imitation general and hearty, and its services attractive, if it ,js going tonal the pews.

It has been declared by merchants and others to be the most advanced insolvency legislation , an the ca ' t nvn t em, R pro- vides that all - assignees must be ap- Pointed by the, various Provincial Gov- ernments: and that they must be cap- able men ,aha will be mended for the work they are to perform. Mother p+rol sionn is that the benefits of the Act are open, to eaten i, business or to private citizens, if the latter so de- sire to make an assignments They may be declared insolvent if it is found that the Circumstances warrant such Wien, Another important feature ox the new Act is that all persons earn- ing on business must keep books shote ng the record of all their transactions,' This becomes compulsory from the date of the Act coming into effect, can July 1st next, COST OF WOOL IN SUITS. The Mail and Empire says :—An in- teresting phase of the woolen cloth and suit question is opened be the assertion that the worth of the wool in an ,ordinary warted suit.is only about $5. This claim was advanced on behalf ,of the National Association of Wool Growers, in the United States. Unquestionably, the ultimate price paid by the consumer for a serge suit has elompsratively little relation to the or- rgof.i sprice the therein. The process wool contained easily advance -elle charge ten times If three pounds of wool, Iess shrink- age and other losses, would make a yard, of serge suiting, and the cost of that wool. is $t.25 a pound, the wool in a yard of cloth would cost $3.75. At 3%, yards for a suit, the, wool would be worth more than, 510, plus all the, cost ,of manufacture, Since serge suit- ing used to be 51.50 a yard are now 54 or $5, the ;ratio between the value of wool dol d .oar, the ,value of cloth in a suit has not greatly changed since pre- war days. There is unquestionably profiteering of a most extreme type jn the general market for wool. 1 TOOK HIS OWN ,LIFE.
