Unless you are "Royalized," you are paying the price of the Royal without knowing it—besides that of your old- style machine--in the higher cost of your business letters.

This master machine does the work of several type= writers in one-it writes, types cards and bills! The one machine does it all-without any "special" ettachments. -

Wloning the War.
One wonders if the following is trae. It appears in a home- paper. à dɛrtain ship was recently- takes into a certain port, and ber cargo was advertised for sale by the local "competent military authority," and duly disposed of. Next day a Leadon merobant - rang ap to know why his offer, which was higher than the one accepted, had been turned down. "Ob, well," osme the answer, "we always accept the lowest tender." | That is the way to win the wat!
Ireland Hoarðlog Silver. Mr. Bonar Law, in Parliament- ary papera, states that since Jan. 1, 1918, no less than £837,900 of, silver coin has been sent to Ireland directly from the Royal. Miat This is more than the emoant so sent in the whole Jear 1917 ($510,900), and over twice the amount sent in 1918 (8311,100). There can be no doubt that the supply of silver coin in Ireland is abundantly sufficient to meet all currency requirements, and the shortage of silver coin in circulation can only be attributed to boarding.
