LOWERING THE COST.
Reduced to its simplest terms, the
price of an article is the price of the
material, labour of manufacture, trans-
portation, distribution, sale, and delivery
-plus a profit on each of these. Let us
take the case of a fountain pen to show
what price is. First, the materials must
be produced -the rubber in Para -the
gold in South Africa or the Yukon - ir-
idium in Siberia. Then all these must be
transported to the factory. There the
rubber is vulcanized into holders; the
gold refined and stamped into points;
the iridium tipped on to the gold;and
soon. The labour operations on a foun-
tain pen run well over the hundred mark
and expensive machinery is required
for almost every one of them. Manu-
facturing completed, the pens are sold
to jobbers and retailers -transported
hundreds and thousands of miles. And
profits are taken at every step remember
that. After the wholesale distribution
the retail sale is made -delivery com-
pleted. and the pen at last put to it, des
tined use Suppose you have paid $2.511
for one of the standard well-known
fountain pens. Do you begin to realize
what an imposing number of things
that $2.50 has paid for? Haven't you a
pretty clear idea that, if these opera-
tions were applied to the making of
one single pen, it would break an oil
magnate to buy it? Is it not perfectly
plain that Quantity controls price by
one of the simplest of uatural laws?
Para rubber by the shipload gold and
iridium by pounds instead of milligram-
mes-labour of thousands organize and
directed -transportation in car lots -
and sales by the million -to every school
boy, stenographer, business man -to
every one who writes. It is all this
gigantic expenditure, divided by the
countless units of millions of sales, that
makes it possible to buy a fountain pen
for $2.50. The more sales, the smaller
becomes the cost of the unit. We know
that Advertizing has raised Quality.
We know it has standarized prices. And
now we see that Advertizing increases
sales, shortens the road between pro-
ducer and consumer -and lovers prices.
ces, that has made possible the develop-
ment of our Canadian Confederation as
't is today; and it is the extension of
that principle to the other self -govern -
'ng dominions of the Empire that has
made possible the growth and expansion
under the British system of government
of harmonious co-operation with the
MotheLand that we witness to -day."
Mr. Howell's address throughout is
one of keen interest, and should be read
by all Liberals as an illuminative just-
ification of their political faith.
Mr. Rowell's Address.
Copies of an address given by Mr. N.
W. Rowell, K. C., leader of the Liberal
party in Ontario, on "What Liberalism
Has Done for Canada," before the
Montreal Reform Club on November
10th last, will be ready for free distrbu-
tion in a short time from the Central
Liberal Information Office, 63 Sparks
street, Ottawa. Any person desiring a
copy of this address will receive it at
once on writing to the Information Office.
In this address Mr. Rowell gave a
careful outline of the work done by the
Liberal party in shaping the destines of
Canada, not only in her domestic affairs,
but also in her relations with the Mother
Country and the rest of the Empire, es-
pecially with regard to the development
of political and trade relations and Can-
ada's share in the problems of defence.
He particularly showed the effect of
the Liberal principles on the main events
in Canadian history -the early struggles
for responsible government; Canadian
confederation; Canada's evolution from
a colony to the status of a self-govern-
ing nation, and finally her entry into
Imperial affairs with the creation of the
Imperial Conference.
Mr. Rowell lays stress upon the noble
work done by Sir Wilfrid Laurier ss
head of the Liberal party in this nation-
al and Imperial development, and shows
that "it was the triumphs of the Fed-
eral principle -the Liberal principle -
-giving local autonomy to the Provin-
Suffered With
A Lame Back
COULD NOT STRAIGHTEN UP.
Many people fail to understand the
aignificanceof a lame, weak, sore or aching
back.
When the back aches or becomes weak
it is a warning that the kidney!! are
affected in some way.
Herd the warning. cure the back and
dispose of any chances of serious kidney
trouble following.
Mr. C. Grace, Hamilton, Ont., writes:
--"I was suffering with a lame back, and
for two weeks was not able to straighten
tm to walk, and hardly able to it dower
for the pains in my back hips, and legs.
I Had used different kinds of pills, .plas-
ters, liniments and medicines, without
soy relief. One day I read about Doan',
Kidney Pills and decided to try them.
'Wore I had half a box used I felt agreat
deal better. and by the time I had u±rd
twobox,
s I was cured. I have no heeit A-
tkin
tinct in recommending Dotrn's Kidney
Pills."
Price, 80 cents per box or 3 boxes f or

receipt of price by The T. Milburn Co.,
Limited, Toronto, Ont.

SPECIAL AROUND THE WORLD
CRUISE
CANADIAN PACIFIC
EMPRESSES OF "RUSSIA" AND
"ASIA"
An unusual opportunity for an around
the world cruise all under the Canadian
Pacific flag with its consequent standard
of service is offered with the advent of
the great new quadruple screw turbine
engine steamships "Empress of Russia"
and "Empress of Asia."
The "Empress of Russia" will sail
from Liverpool, April 1st, and will call
at Gibraltar April 4th, Villefranche
April 8th, Port Said April 12th, and
will proceed via Suez, Colombo, Pe-
nang, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shang-
hai, Nagasaki, Kobe, Yokohama and
arrive at Vancouver Saturday, May
31st. From Vancouver to Toronto, pas-
sengers may travel via Canadian Paci-
fic main line or Crows' Nest Pass line
and may also travel from Fort William
or via Great Lakes route to Port Mc -
Nicoll.
The most direct connection to make
for the sailing from Liverpool April 1st
is via "Empress of Britain" from St.
John, N. B., March 21st, 1913.
The Canadian Pacific Atlantic Em-
presses are so well known and have es-
tablished so enviable a reputation for
safety, speed, service and accomoda-
tion, that when we say the "Empress
of Russia" and "Empress of Asia" a*e
larger and faster than the "Empress of
Britain" and "Empress of Ireland," it
means a great deal. They embody the
very latest features of marine archi-
tecture and every known convenience
and comfort for passengers -the service
and cuisine will be maintained at high
"Canadian Pacific" standard.
The "Empress of Russia" and "Em-
press of Asia" are sister ships -593 feet
long, 6S feet beams -gross register 16,-
85e tons, displacement about 34,000
tons -speed 20 knots -quadruple screw
-turbine engines - and the first mer-
chant vessels built with the "cruiser"
stern, a feature which is especially
adapted for speed and increases the
stability, besides securing more room
on the various decks. When ocean
liners were built so that they should
float with two of their compartments
filled with water, it was thought a great
thing, but the new "Empresses" can
have four of their compartments filled
and still float.
The rate for the entire cruise is $639.
10 exclusive of maintenance between
arrival time in England and departure
of the "Empress of Russia."
A similar cruise will be made by the
"Empress of Asia" sailing from Liver-
pool May 27th, 1913.

fic Agents, or write M. C. Murphy,
District Passenger Agent, Toronto.
Kitchen Dent's
Don't fail to soak all new brooms in
scalding hot, salted water before using;
this keeps the straw from breaking.
Don't forget the many uses of salt in
household emergencies: Egg stain on
silver may be removed if rubbed with
moistened salt.
Don't forget that lemon juice and
salt are harmless but certain removers
of iron rust from all table linen and
white clothes.
Don't forget when a chimney is burn-
ing that if the stove be tightly closed
and salt thrown in the range, the mois-
ture generated will help to put out the
fire in the chimney.
Don't forget chat salt is excellent for
cleaning marble or porcelain sinks.
Don't forget, when using butter sub-
stitutes in cakes, that a pinch of salt is
needed.
Don't forget to look over your potato
bins or bags each week. One moldy
potato will soon affect an entire barrel.
Don't fail to air your cellar each day,
if possible. This aids greatly in preserv-
ing vegetables and canned fruits.
Don't fail to have a small brush at
hand when washing cut glass. Scrub
the glass well with hot soapsuds. Then
rinse it thoroughly and allow it to dry
without a towel.
Don't forget that if silver not in fre-
quent use is rubbed with oatmeal it will
not tarnish easily.
Don't fail to wash all lemons before
using.. The black specks on their skins
are thecells
1 egg of minute=. insects.
Don't fail to keep a small strainer
hanging near your stove with which to
strain all gravies and sauces.

BREAD AND ROSES.
(James Oppenheim in the American
Magazine.)
As we come marching, marching, in
the beauty of the day,
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand
mill -lofts gray
Are touched with all the radiance that
a sudden sun discloses,
For the people hear us singing, "Bread
and Roses, Bread and Roses."
As we come marching, marching, we
battle too, for men -
For they are women's children and we
mother them again.
Our lives shall not be sweated from
birth until life closes -
Hearts starve as well as bodies: Give
us Bread, but give us Roses !
As we come marching, marching, un-
numbered women dead
Go crying through our singing their an-
cient song of Bread;
Small art and love and beauty their
drudging spirits knew -
Yes, it is bread we fight for -but we
fight for roses, too.
As we come marching, marching, we
bring the Greater Days -
The rising of the women means the ris-
ing of the race -
No more the drudge and idler - ten that
toil where one reposes -
But a sharing of life's glories, Bread
and Roses, Bread and Roses !
What to Serve.
With veal cutlets: Tomato or pap-
rika sauce, rice balls, peas.
With stewed veal: Dumplings or bak-
ed tomatoes.

How He Escaped
An Operation
And Was Completely Cured of
Plies of 14 Years' Standing
by Dr. Chase's Ointment.
bIr. Chas. Beauvais. -
Doetors say that about one person
in every four suffers more or less
from piles, and who can imagine a
more annoying, torturing, disagree-
able ailment?
After trying a few treatments with-
out success, and as the ailment grows
worse, the medical doctor fa consulted.
An operation, he says, is necessary.
'You think of the suffering, expense
and risk to life itself, and hesitate
before taking such a step.
In many thousands of such cases
Dr. Chase's Ointment has made
thorough .and lasting cures. head

A FOREAT LONELY LAND.
Keewatin Is One of the Most Early
Discovered Parts of Canada.
Keewatin, the new addition to the
Province of Ontario, is a great lonely
land of pulpwood and Laurentian
rocks, with intervals of the Huronian
overlying Keewatin formations, is
which they are discovering mineral
values up in old New Ontario, at Co.
bait, Porcupine, and other places, toe
day. It is a higher, bolder land as a
rule than the region paralleling the
southerly curve of James Bay immedi.
ately north of Toronto. Along the
James Bay part of it are coastal flats
with clay and boulder beaches reach-
ing far nut into the shallow water,
and muskeg swamps inland. But
northerly, past Cape Henrietta Marie,
further along the Hudson Bay shore
itself, the hills arise, and the granite
outcrops of the world's most ancient
rot, Underlying the alluvial flats of
the river valleys, covered with mus-
keg moss, limestone occurs in level
beds. At one time Hudson Bay spread
over these lowlands, south and west,
and pressed the mud sediment into
stone. The country has been rising
the geologists say, lifting up out of
the sea, during the last 10,000 years
or else the . ea is receding. Geological
efforts take time, however. The Hud-
son Bay harbors are safe for an age
or two yet probably.
Of these new Ontario harbors on
salt water, Moose Factory lies near-
est to Toronto, Port Nelson farthest
away. Both have been used for three
centuries by the Hudson Bay Co. in
the fur trade. Both, to fit them fog
the modern ships of commerce, will
have to he dredged. Moose River can
be opened up with a two-mile channel
through the bar across its mouth.
The present channel ranges front
about 25 to 7 feet low tide. Similarly
with Port Nelson. The Hudson Bay
ships anchor two miles out, and thein
cargoes are lightered in small boats
and fiat scows.
Keewatin is much like the rest of
New Ontario. It is not a land of agri-
culture, as is Old Ontario. Perhaps
some day, when great mining camps
have planted themselves up there in
the rocky spruce -smothered hills, the
demand for hay and oats, for pota-
toes, and for fresh meat, will bring
about a considerable amount of mixed
farming for the sweet sake of loca
markets, the demand of mining mer}
and the hunger of the "mockers.'
But as contributors to the appetite o1
the outside world, as exporters of
wheat, of beef, or of potatoes, it id
doubtful if the rock -bounded terminal
patches or even the rich interval o
clay which extends ninety miles or sal
back from the coast, at present under
crop of muskeg moss, will enter intdt
serious competition with the choco-
late loam of the plains in the markets!

Energetic Mr. Borden. 1('`'`
A notable characteristic of Mr. Bor-
den is his stupendous energy. Ib
1907, for instance, he made a political
tour of Canada, covering over 15,006
miles in twelve weeks and deliverinai
seventy-five political speeches, to sale
noshing of a large number of ad1
dresses given to various ,,rganizationai
of a non-political character. He iii
also a plan of admirable self-control
On one occasion he could not get, a
hearing at a meeting. "If you do not
want to listen to me," he said, during
a momentary lull, "you are not com-
pelled to do so. I will dictate what
I have to say to the press representa-
tives." With that he walked over to
the assembled newspaper men and
continued his remarks in an under-
tone. His quiet nonchalance had the
desired effect, and his speech, was af-
terwards listened to in silence by an
appreciative audience.
Another side to the character of the
Canadian Premier is his passion for
literature. He loves poetry -incident, -
ally it might be mentienedt that he
was born, in 1854, at Grand Pre, the
scene of Longfellow's best-known and
most popular poem, "Evangeline" -
and, possessing a prodigious memory,
call repeat many of the longest poems.
Once while traveling he quoted one
hundred lines of Latin verse. Me.
Borden is also passiipnately fond of
sport. He plays golf and cricket,
and is a keen fisherman.
Treasure Trove Pound.
There has been found near _ Smith's
Falls a quantity of French and Amer,
lean silver coin dating 'back to thi,
year 1700. One French coin date
1812 and a five -franc piece has th
head of Emperor Napoleon on one
side. The coins were all set o11 edge
in rows in the shape of a V. There
were in all 148 coina and the val
oannot at present be estimated. Th
money was placed in • the care
Chief Phillips of Smith's Falls an
he and Magistrate Sparham are th
only ones other than the finders who
know where the ooins 'were found.
They refuse to give any further par.
tieulars until they have heard front
the authorities at Ottawa to whom
a report of the valuable discovery
was made. It is thought that much
more coin is secreted in the same
vicinity and it is expected that when
the location is made known there will
be a regular rush of treasure hunters
to the farm.
What Clover Will Do.
A Canadian bulletin issued last
year contains details of an interesting
experiment in the growing of clover
for the distinct purpose of increasing
the nitrogen content la a tract of land.
Clover was grown on this tract con-,
tinuuuxly for a nine-year period. The
ground was dug over every second
year and the plot reseeded, the hay
that was cut each season being allow.

analyzed at the beginnings of the ex•
periment and at intervals later. At
the end of tine years it was, fuuRd
that each acre of soil to A depth of
four inches contained 472 pounds

stock instead of being allowed to rot.
