The Federal income-tax which is now in force exempts incomes of unmarried men up to .^1,500 and married men to $3,000 per annum. Therefore, it is safe to say that not more than one man in fen in this province will be affected by this tax. That being the case, what are tho other 90 per cent, going to do, individual!y to assist in the prosecution of i he 1 war?

Which in your opinion ought to- be elected? . ' ������������������ FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1917 The dominion elections will takw , place on December 17, and if is con-, lidenfly hoped that the Union govern ,; ment will carry the day, so that the , present plan or 'conscription may be' carried out without delay. ] Laying aside all prejudice that may be brought to bear against either parly, during the past or tho present, we look straight at the request that reinforcements be sent to Kranco at as earlv a period as possible. Outside of tlie request rroin Gen. Curric, we all realize the necessity of keeping iT1 ihe .war until it is finished. If we allow our battalions to become smaller without sending men .to replace the killed and wounded the time will surely come when there will be no battalions; and Canada will not be in the war. Procrastination is the I hie! of time. ��������� Delays are dangerous. Now fheh-e is an organized plan lo send men to fill the ranks in Frau-*e and if the Union Government is returned to power v/e all have every reason to be- lip'vo ihnl- at a very early date men will arrive in France from Canada to fill up thc ranks of the battalions now there. Any plan of delay would seem to indicate thc day-when Canada would surely feel that her interest in the war was waning. We all realize the necessity of continuing in the war. CONSCRIPTION is the.one thought, above all others in this election. The government or party that uar- ! a id nes to tlie electors to stay in the I war is the one that should be elect- I ed. A. promise to make out a plan | if elected' is no good, and not up to iilie standard required by . Canada. j In the eyes of tho nations of the. 1 world Canada has established a re- ! puuifion that Canadians cannot -ol- ' low political party, to monkey with. It ' is a serious matter. ��������� Canada's sons have died for what we believe to be the liberties of the smaller nations C'aaada has gone too far now to hait or hesitate in thc great undertaking. 'there are two candidates in the field in this district. One stands for carrying on the war under the present iUiiiiary :u;t; while the other ,whne hei'.oviug in conscription, would lies;-' La to 'in MI another plan was thought of. Which do you think should have( vour support ? Ono candidate stands for sending theui right away; while the other would try again a plan that has .sent, uiiuiv brave men, but which is not qu'te fair, because it. leaves it to the man himself t.o decide. The war has become so serious now that ilJ is up to the state to say who shall go and who shall remain at-home and -how winy MUST go. .Under the Union Government-100,000 go in Ihe firxt draft. They are-needed. Is that, not the way you have figured it out? It is a case of MUST. .Both our. candidates believe in. conscription. Stacey sees nothing-but Conscription; while. Ramsay,,-while lo .St -iei GifS Of _������ 1 the .acce -���������jt��������� '^e unanimous nom- inat^^the^ecent Union Conventional; Abhotsfojrd..as.,a Liberal-Unionist Candidate for 'theHouse of'Commons,! beg^ to state briefly-the.ground upon which I solicit your endorsdtioti:and support. " -The. world is engaged in ihe greatest and most awful conflict -that the ��������� human race has.ever.known. As a part ot the British nation we.are in-the struggle in order to mmntainiiberty ai.d truth and honor and a lasting peace among men. Thousands .of our best and bravest Canadian sons have paid the supreme sacrifice that these principles .should not perish from -ihe ^ .earth, thousands-more are .counting their lives not dear unto them so.thai we and all other nations may cherishthose ideals which are the soul and substance .of our civilization. Stripped of all trimming and verbiage, the great question-before the people of Canada today is this: Shallzve set aside our petty party differ ernes, our affiliations and our ambitions, and unite with each other in a solemn purpose, and pledge to be true to our heroic volunteers to ihe last man and the For Major Ramsay, the Laurier Liberal candidate, none .of us can have other than the greatest respect. Ho is a returned soldier under the voluntary system. .Has been ip to the firing line, but owing to misfortune he has been declared' unfit for the demands of the battlefield. We arc'honored in having,him as a candidate, .but sorry that,.he has 'associated himself with a leader whom many believe cannot'ever again be ma position to carry out Canadian ideals. Major' Ramsay is in the ilehj to win and so far as we know is carrying on a clean campaign, he being a gentleman, a scholar and one of our returned soldiers. For these reasons, if we do not feel like honoring him j this'election,, we may have Ihe very j great pleasure of doing so at soma | future date, under different circumstances. Mr. F. 13. Stacey, the .Unionist candidate sees nothing in this political light but CONSCRIPTION. He is a new man in politics, consequently has nothing-to answer for in the way ol" things political left undone; neither can he be blamed for the faults of aiiv former government. ��������� He was until'recently thc President of the Liberal Association, but left the Liberal bartv -in order to - fight . for conscription. He says in explanation of. .his present stand that "It is.no time for party politics, Conscription is tlic ono issue before the people of Canada today." Mr. Stacey is a, forceful speaker, besides being thoroughly in earnest. "The name Win-i.ho-War candidate could not be better atached than to the name of F. B. Stacey. He carries with him a winning smile 'that is sure to stay with-him oven after the-17th day of December, and he will represent Westminster riding in a manner'that will do him-credit and after the war Westminster district will we trust be. proud that he was our.choice for the Commons at Ottawa.

Best Pen Wyandottes other Bananas are not,hard to digest and are very palatable,'either raw, baked j or fried, declares Health Officer Lan- difs. Many people have entertained the false belief that the banana is not digestible, he says. .Dr. Landis fully concurs in a bulletin of the New York Board of Health issued recently, in which housewives are advised to utilize apples, bananas and oranges as food. The fruits contain mineral salts, so they may be used as substitutes for vegetables. In part the New York bul- Icua reads: "Baked apples, unsweetened, with { the addition of a little butter, substitute or oil, may be used with meat as a vegetable. So may unsweetened fried or boiled or roasted slices ot apple. Apples and rice are an excellent combination. Apple dumplings with a good sauce are sufficient i'or a l;s-i( I aon. "Lana"f>s and oranges are usually eaien raw, and ia this form they are quite as valuable as in any other; i-ui it is a p.tj that '.aken and fried ban- aims arc riot bett-jj known. Oranges that are too small and sour to be eaten raw make the best of marmalade. Bananas and marmalade, bananas and apple sauce arc pleasant combinations, and all of them are very fine in combinations with rice.'
