TORONTO STAR'S POPULARITY,
Recently the Vancouver Sunset, a
high-class weekly publication, describ-
ed the editorial page of The Toronto
Daily Star as the most interesting in
Canada, and with this verdict most
people, who, like the editor of the
Sunset, make a practice of exantiIling
the whole range of Canadian publica-
tions, will be disposed to agree. While
maintaining tone and dignity, it.
touches the lives of the people at hove
points than probably any other
newspaper, and therein lies the secret
of 15s ppopularity. What is true of the
editorial page of The Star is true also
of all ate departments. In sports, in
finance, in IN—Omen's and home fea-
tures, The Star's departments are not
surpassed, and thus wherever it is
read The Star becomes the favorite
paper of avert' member of the family
from ,,ggrandfather who probably finds
the Khan daily Chronicles the most
interesting column, to grandson, Who
chuckles over the comic, pictures and
jokes. The. Staff;"is always interesting
and readable from first page to ln;et---
that'e why it hats 68,000 eubecribere,
16,,000 more than any others Toronto,

while in the midst of a business con-
versation with . a gentleman, was
stricken with paralysis, which result-
ed in almost instant death. The Dr.
was hastily surumoned, but the spark
of life had fled.. The. deceased was a
man of sterling qualities and lived a
life of honest convictions, which will
prove a worthy example to young and
old in the community. The funeral
on Monday was one of the largest ever
seen in the vicinity of Ethel. The
wife and family of five children are
left to mourn the loss of a loving hus-
band and father. The sincerest sym-
pathy of a large circle of friends is ex-
tended to them,

TORONTO STAR'S POPULARITY,
Recently the Vancouver Sunset, a
high-class weekly publication, describ-
ed the editorial page of The Toronto
Daily Star as the most interesting in
Canada, and with this verdict most
people, who, like the editor of the
Sunset, make a practice of exantiIling
the whole range of Canadian publica-
tions, will be disposed to agree. While
maintaining tone and dignity, it.
touches the lives of the people at hove
points than probably any other
newspaper, and therein lies the secret
of 15s ppopularity. What is true of the
editorial page of The Star is true also
of all ate departments. In sports, in
finance, in IN—Omen's and home fea-
tures, The Star's departments are not
surpassed, and thus wherever it is
read The Star becomes the favorite
paper of avert' member of the family
from ,,ggrandfather who probably finds
the Khan daily Chronicles the most
interesting column, to grandson, Who
chuckles over the comic, pictures and
jokes. The. Staff;"is always interesting
and readable from first page to ln;et---
that'e why it hats 68,000 eubecribere,
16,,000 more than any others Toronto,
paper.

while in the midst of a business con-

stricken with paralysis, which result-
ed in almost instant death. The Dr.
was hastily surumoned, but the spark
of life had fled.. The. deceased was a
man of sterling qualities and lived a
life of honest convictions, which will
prove a worthy example to young and
old in the community. The funeral
on Monday was one of the largest ever
seen in the vicinity of Ethel. The
wife and family of five children are
left to mourn the loss of a loving hus-
band and father. The sincerest sym-
pathy of a large circle of friends is ex-
tended to them,

germs that infest the roots of the
hair; It stops falling hair t it gives
vlgoar and strength to the Bair roots,
Walton Meltibbon tells Parisian Sage
