Profit is not interest on investment, it is not a salary paid for managing the business. Both these are items which the proprietor should properly pay him- self as investor in and manager of his own business. Whether he receives a profit above this depends, in the long run, on his ability as a business man to earn that profit from the people he serves. For profit is the owner's re- turn for risk taken in providing for the wants of his customers and community. Raincoats Made of Paper. Independence emergency raincoats which can be folded up and carrie in a pocket or handbag, are being made to fill the need so sorely felt when one is caught in a storm without any form of waterproof protection. These garments are made in sizes suit. able for men and women and children, and come in two grades, The cheaper article is made of rough paper only, coated on one side, and is designed to, be used but once; the other is reinforced with cloth mesh, and with proper care can be worn several times. Since it af- fords excellent protection against wind rain and cold, it is especially suited for automobilists, New War Loan. Sir Thomas White, Minister of Finance, gave the following foreword to the Government's appeal for sub- scriptions to the new domestic war loan: "The second Canadian war loan is now offered for public subscription. While the Government is aware that Canadian patriotic sentiment alone could he depended upon to insure suc- cess, strict regard bas been bad in fixing the terms of the issue to prevailing financial conditions with the object of making the offering attractive from the purely investment standpoint. The Government is confident that this the second loan for the purpose of raising funds for Canada's war expenditures will meet with the same loyal and generous response which made the first war loan so strikingly successful," Full particulars regarding the new war Ioan may be read in our advertising columns.

Bradstreets have compiled statistics that prove that 84 per cent of the fail- ures are among non -advertisers. The merchant who does not believe in the use of printer's ink, has never adver- tised right. The failure to produce re- sults is not chargeable against adver- tising, but rather against the manner in which it is done. Advertising is the modern creative force, 'positive and potent—a force that has produced two blades of grass where but one has grown before, It is the flowering of industrial evolution. It is the conquers or of unfair competition—the promoter of right dealing—the solution of the mail order problem. Its basic principle is frankness. --The Canadian Trader and Jeweler.
