BERLIN, Jan. 6.—The German submarine U-46, reported sunk off St.

Issued here today.
(By Canadian Asaoclated Press.)
LONDON, Jan. G.—The report of the
supplementary inquiry into the Canadian medical service In England nnd
France conducted by the Baptie board,
It Is understood, will he printed at
once, and presumably will be obtainable by any one interested in the matter. However, thero is practically
nothing In the report that has not been
referred to in the Canadian Associated
Press cablegrams.
The Manchester Guardian, discussing the Baptie report, says:
"Col. Bruce naturally feels deeply
hurt by tho extraordinarily outspoken
condemnation of tho Baptie board of
his criticisms and proposals In regard
to the Canadian army medical service,
Col. Bruce thus follows Gen. Sir Sam
Hughes, who appointed him, Into retirement. Although one of the finest
physicians In Canada, ho had had little
experience in military medical organization when he undertook his unlucky
mission of Inquiry.
Col. Bruce Took Objection.
Not long ago the Canadian Assoclat
ed Press asked Col. Bruce If he could
confirm tho rumors of his objecting
to the personnel of tho Baptie commission. Col. Bruce courteously and very
properly expressed his inability to say
anything, in view of military discipline.
We are able to state, however, that objection was taken, on the ground that
the majority of the hoard was prejudiced against him and would not be
able to approach the subject with open
minds. It is also asserted that three
members of tho Baptie board had expressed themselves- antagonistic to the

LIVELY DEBATE HAS
DRAMATIC FINISH
Opinions Aired About U.3
Being  Involved   if
War Continues
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—Approval
of President Wilson's request for a
statement of peace terms from tho
European belligerents was voted tonight by the senate, at the conclusion
of three days of stirring debate. Action came with dramatic suddenness,
when Democratic leaders decided to
accept a form of resolution that would
not commit the senate to endorsement
of the whole of tho president's note,
and ten representatives of the Progressive group joined the majority tn
making the vote 48 to 17.
Discussion of tho subject had
reached a climax during the day with
a sensational declaration by Senator
Lewis, chief spokesman for the Democrats, replying to Republican criticism of the president's note.
Without referring directly to the
submarine controversy, tho senator
said the United States could not keep
out of the war If It continued and that
America would not again accept misconception of orders or zeal of any
officer ns an oxcuse for an Injury to
a citizen or property.
The Chief Objection
The chief objection urged against
the original resolution offered by
Senator Hitchcock was that it would
endorse the president's- offer to, Join
in' a movement to guarantee world
peace and his declaration of the Interest of the United States In small
nations. Progressive Republicans
joined Senator Lodge in this contention. The resolution adopted was proposed hy Senator Jones, Republican of
Washington, nnd was accepted by
Senator Hitchcock ns a substitute for
his own. It resolves: "That tho senate approves and strongly endorses!
tho request hy the president In the
diplomatic notes of Dec. 18 to the
nations now engaged In war, that
those nations state the terms upon
which peace might be discussed."
"Let mo say on my own authority," )
said Senator Lewis in his remarkable
speech, "that I agree with the sentiment expressed from any quarter by
the secretary of state or any one else
(roferrlng to Secretary Lansing's first
explanation of ,tho president's note to
the powers) that this war cannot continue without America being involved
In the conflict.
"Do you feel that tho people of this
nntlon nre in such temper that they
can ever ngaln allow any commander
of ships, any captain of army, any
officer of diplomacy to visit upon this
country an Injury to a citizen or
property nnd escape on on excuse of
misconception of orders or zeal of an
officer?
"If theso conditions again be repeated, America will not again accept
that form of apology and will resent
and punish to the full extent of her
power. No amount of logic or pacification would prevail.
U. S. Must Be Involved.
"I say, continuance of the war means
war with the United States, and tn this
I have never a doubt of tho comprehension of the United States and faith
in the sagacious foresight of the officials of the administration In the effort to bringing about peace with Europe that we might maintain peace in
America."
Senator Borah, attacking the Hitchcock resolution, said that tn his judgment, the United States by giving full
aproval to the president's note would
bind Itself in tho future with European nations to protect the integrity
and security of smaller European nations and that If this meant anything at all It meant that the army
and navy of this nation must be at the

OTTAWA, Jan. 5.—There wore no
developments of Importance today In
'connection with the conference between Hon. T. W. Cfother, Hon. Arthur
Melghen and Hon. Martin Burrell, representing the government, and the representatives of tho coal mine operators
In the Fernle district, ,.
J. W. Flavelle, chairman ot the imperial munitions board, and official**.
of the labor department, were also In
attendance.
Another meeting will be held tomorrow afternoon at which there will, be a
conference between the ministers and
representatives of both the operator.
and the men, when it la hoped that an
agreement will be reached. Nothing
was given out in regard to the difficulty tonight, but the discussion la 'believed to havo had for Its basis the report of Mr. Harrison, the fair wags
officer of the labor department at Calgary, who conducted an Inquiry Into
the increased cost of living.
The men agreed to discontinue th*
strike Inaugurated some week, ago If
thoy were given an increase which
would be equivalent to the lnoreaa* In
the cost of living. Apparently the oper-
ators are not satisfied with Mr. Harrison's findings, hence tho nece..lty for
the present conference at the capital.
The coal operator, her* today Include
W. U. Wilson, P. L. Nalsmtth, ESllas
Rogers, u 8. Stookett and N. Haydon.
The minors are represented hy David
Rees and Thomaa Ulfiga. .

PARIS, .Tan. G—There was active artillery fighting last; night on the Verdun front in the vicinity of Dou au
Mont and Vaux, the war office announces. Elsewhere the night passed
quietly.
Request for Peace Terms Approved.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—Senator
.Tones' substitute for the Hitchcock
resolution endorsing President Wilson's
peace note, which approves the request
for peace terms without endorsing the
note itself, was passed late today by
the senate.
Peaee Much Nearer,
LONDON, Jan. 5.—Outside official
circles the opinion grows that peace
Is much nearer. It is the genernl belief that the British blockade has almost ended the capacity of the central,
powers for resistance, and that peace
will soon arrive either as the result of
decisive battles In the field or the surrender of Germany through starvation.
Greece Against Reparation.
LONDON, Jan. fi.—The Greek government, acting in harmony with the
king, has decided to reject, certain
clauses of the entente note demanding
reparation in consequence of the recent
fighting at Athens, Reuter's correspondent nt Athens telegraphs.
WILSON'S REQUEST FOR
PEACE TERMS APPROVED

disposal of any world combination
the war's end might see, to give this
protection.
Tho Hitchcock resolution reads as
follows:
"That the senate approves and
strongly endorses the notion taken by
tho president in sending tho diplomatic notes of Dec. 18 to the nations
now engaged in war suggesting and
recommending that those nations state
tho terms upon which peace might be
discussed."
Senator Borah suggested that the
end desired by Senator Hitchcock
might be achieved by other resolutions
before the senate which are not so
broad In their approval.
"There Is the resolution of the senator from Washington," said Senator
Hitchcock, rising suddenly. "If that
would be acceptable to Senator Borah
I will accept It."
Senator Borah said he would not object to that resolution and when the
necessary parliamentary procedure had.
been complied with the vote was taken.
Not Made Public Before Monday
LONDON, Jan. fi.—The British government still Is awaiting advices from.;
the French government concerning
the publication of the entente reply to
President Wilson's pence note, the
Associated Press learned at tho foreign office today. It is now believed
the reply will not he made public before Monday.

SIGNING OF CARDS

government.   The vote on the motion
stood 53 in favor and 7*5 against.
Tbe meeting also adopted, by practically a unanimous vote, the following
resolution, proposed by Alex Ross, labor member of the Calgary school
board:
"We, the labor men and citizens of
Calgary, assembled at this open meeting, pledge themselves to support a national service scheme which has for Its
object the mobilization and use of all
national resources and utilities of this
country for the direct heneflt of the.
state." ,
This Is said to have been the first
tlmo in the history of organized labor
that a meeting of labor men has endorsed a national service scheme.
The rock upon which the meeting
split wns the acceptance or non-ac
ceptance of the questions numbers 23
nnd 24 on the registration cards, deal
ing with the willingness of the subscriber to undertake othor work than
that upon which be was engaged for
the same pay and go elsewhere if re
quired. Tho opinion freely expressed
was that If an affirmative answer to
these questions were given there was
no guarantee that this labor would not
be exploited for the benefit of corporations and individuals who, It was asserted, were making huge profits
from the manufacture nf munitions and
supplies,
A strong appeal wns made by Pte.
W. J. Dyson, a disabled and returned
veteran In khaki, for the support of
the trades and labor congress execu
tive. tho authorized representatives Of
labor at the Ottawa conference.
Mr. Ross urged the meeting to op
pose what he termer "this Iniquitous
attempt to force a so-called national
service scheme upon the people."
DENIES  THAT  BOARD
WAS  HAND  PICKED
(Continued from Page One.)
portunity of attending all the sittings
'of the Baptie Inquiry, but on this point
it is undeniable that neither Surgeon-
General Carleton Jones nor Col. Bruce
ever asked to 'he allowed to attend;
Th$ Brittfch'--Medical Journal In Its
November: issue contained an article
which decked;,
"We fuljy believe that the tenor of
the report of the inquiry will be such
ns to lead to'the reinstatement of Kur-
geon-General Carleton Jones and Justify Sir ..WJlliam, Osier in withdrawing
his resignation."
This, it* Is argued on behalf of Col.
Bruce, in some measure proves that
the findings of the Baptie commission
were thus :oarly almost a foregone conclusion.' '.■■*.■■.. ■■»'..■
'   Chosen by War Office.
Private.cable despatches indicate
that'efforttf'may he made In Canada to
discredit the personnel of the Baptie
board. .Sir-George' Perley, the militia
minister overseas and acting high commissioner, speaking on this subject,
did not hesitate to give the Canadian
Associated Ppess an answer about the.
board, being,->?*hand picked." He had
received no -communication from them,
he said, prior to their appointment. The
chairman was chosen by the British
war. office. Dr. Astyon belonged to the
short-lived militia council appointed by
Sir Sam Hughes., The three other
members were Canadians who had
served in France. The special reasons
for selecting them was that English
opinion', at. any rate that part of It
which 1s learned in the newspapers,
had shown Itself utterly opposed to
segregation of Canadian sick and
wounded, It was felt that Col. Bruce's
suggestions would receive cooler judgment from experienced men of this
own country1 who, moreover, came
straight from France to exercise that
judgment and consequently wero from
from any English "stay-at-home"
opinions. '
The British Medical Journal this
week devotes considerable editorial
comment to the Baptie report. It welcomes .the findings. "To what degree
Col. Bruce allowed himself to be obsessed by a 'water tight compartment'
policy," the Journal says, "appears
from the paragraph implying that he
entertained the view that the Canadian
medicals should not be associated with
the British medical corps in scientific
inquiry. It seems extraordinary that
at this day such a contention should
have been raised,"
BIG INCREASE IN CROP
ACREAGE  IN  SASKATCHEWAN
REGINA, Sask., Jan. 5.—The Saskatchewan department of agriculture
today issued a final report on the grain
crop of 1916. It shows the total area

total yield of all crops was 288,828,213
bushels, of which 126,667,700 bushels

is shown to he much greater than anticipated by either federal or provincial
authorities. The yield per acre of
wheat on all lands is estimated at 14.2
bushels and oats 39.1 bushels.

U. S. LEAD OUTPUT IN
1916 WAS 622,000 TONS
The United States Geological survey, depurtment of the Interior, lias
just published tbe Now Year estimate
of the production of lead in 1916. In
the production of lead ore there was
a gain of 10 per cent over the preceding year, the lead content of ore
mined in 1016 being estimated at 622,-
000 short tons.
Missouri had the largest production
and also made a gain of more than
25,000 tons, Good gains were made by
California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and
New Mexico. The production of refined lead, desilverized and soft from
domestic nnd foreign ores, was approximately 579,600 tons, worth $51,-
705,000 In 1915. The output of antt-
monlal lead was about 21,800 tons,
worth about $4,283,000.
Tho domestic production was made
up of 324,000 tons of desilverized lead
and 234,000 tons of soft lead, worth in
all about $75,915,000 and tho production from foreign ores Is estimated at
21,400 tons. Tho imports of lead in all
forms were about 35,800 tons and the
exports in all forms were about 117,
550 tons, of which 108,200 tons wore
derived from domestic ores.
The total exports of lead were
valued at about $15,832,000. The con
sumption of lead ns near as It can be
calculated, disregarding stocks of do
■nestle lend, Was 471,200 tons, as com
pared with -426,751 tons In 1915. The
price of lead was nearly 50 per cent
higher In 1916 than during tlie prcccd
lng year, tho average of spot quota-
tlons at New York being 6.,8 cents a
pound, as compared with 4,7 cents In
1915.

PREDICTS GOOD PROFITS
FROM THE UTICA MINE
Utlca Mines, Limited, operating the
Utica group of ten claims, seven miles,
from Adamant siding on tho Kaslo*
Slocan branoh of the Canadian Pacific railway, has enjoyed a most pros-
porous year and is now in such physical and financial shape that a long
period of profitable operation seems
assured, says Mining Truth. Shipments for the year will approximate
1000 tons of high grade silver-lead
ore, averaging approximately 32 per
cent lead and 170 ounces silver to the
ton and ?5 tons of zinc ore averaging
approximately 43 per cent zlno and
146 ounces silver. Lead ore Is worth
about $180 per ton and shipments of
tons per month have been maintained throughout the year. Tho property Is developed by 3600 feet of drifts
on the vein nnd 550 feet of crosscuts.
The deepest level Is 1200 feet below
the outcrop at the top of the ridge and
at this depth the vein has .beet*} developed with most satisfactory results.
Another level, about 860 feet vertically
lower, was started two months ago
and will he pushed to the vein during
the present winter .Ore Is being sloped
from two levels. Utica Mines, Limited

FAST INCREASING
European   Governments   Steadily   Absorbing American Stocks of the
White Metal.
BUTTE, Mont., Jan. 5.—Silver metal
at 76 cents an ounce Is within: 1 Hoof the high record made hist May and
represents an advance of about. 8%
cents an ounce over the price prevail-
lng Oct. 30. The silver markpt Will
probably command a chief -Interest
among the metals. The demand for
white metal is now reaching phenom-*-
enal. proportions due to the steady absorption of American stocks by t}ie
European governments and tho fact
that the far east hns turned buyer Instead of seller. Silver for coinage ,is
In vital demand in Europe, which demand will expand as the time for the
cessation of hostilities approaches.
"With Mexico out of tho market.and.
labor conditions in Canada cutting the
output down, the burden of supplying
silver to the world Is becoming heavier
on the American stiver producers nnd
the conditions that have been existent
in the copper mines bid fair to be repented in the silver producers.
Although silver has risen 30 cents
an ounce since tho low period wns
reached in 191-5, an analysis of the producers of silver - either, as la/chlef.;o*r a
byproduct will; show that, the advance
in the shares has by no. means been
proportionate to the increased earnings growing out of tlje '3Q-cent Increase In silver. This may be attributed to the fact that investors with the
spectacular copper metal market and
the equally spectacular copper share
market, which provides interest with
the Industrial securities, leaving the
silver stocks materially in the background. .
Like the copper producing.companies
the silver producers havo be$n.fiii this
first period of prosperity strengthen
ing ilieir treasury resources -and. di
verting surplus prdfffci into/new equip
mei'vt a"ml mine development. Conse-,
quently, tlie surplus profits do not
show up In the form expected by the
stockholders—namely, increased dividends. This latter phase of the mar-
kot wih eventuate probably In tho samo
manner that the Increased disbursements took placo In the copper producers—after sufficient funds have
been laid aside for Working capitnl. it
Is freely predicted that dollar silver
will be seen. In some quarters, It is
thought, It is only a mattor of a few-
months.
There is Utile, appreciation that
even 76-cent silver means phenomenally large earnings for tho sliver producers and It seems to be only a
question of months when the effect of
these silver prices will be more concretely expressed In the form of increased disbursements. It Is natural
therefore to anticipate a demand for
American sliver slocks that may oven
outrival tho great public investment
demand for copper stocks.

TRADING SLOW ON
TORONTO MARKET
Was Almost at Standstill in the Early
Hours—Steel Issues Continue the
Leaders.
(By Daily News Leased Wire,)
TORONTO, Jan. 5.—After a fairly
strong opening trade on the local ox-
change dwindled to nothing as the
•j-jession advanced, In line with the
weaker feeling In New York. Stook
trading seems to have, been distinctly
influenced by President "Wilson's renewed efforts to act as a pacifist. In
the early trading business was at a
standstill and hardly 500 shares changed hands. Values were almost Invariably lower than on Thursday.
The three steel issues continued to
lead tho way. Dominion Iron held
fairly strong, losing only, % to lis1,-*,
whilo Steel of Canada, corrtmon closed
unchanged at t!7. The latter Issue had
a low of il5'/j for the day but it Improved 1 -Vipoints in tho last two transactions. Scotia Steel lost 6 points to
120, la spite of the fact that a subsidiary concern, the Eastern Car company, was reported" to have orders
that will ensure running to capacity
for the whole bf 1917./
Steamships common lost 2 points to
35 and the preferred was off. 1 lo 92.
Cement common lost 3 points to,64%
and Barcelona closed with a loss of
2ft to l3%v Contrary to" the 'general
trend, Steel Foundry Improved 5 points
to 180 In sales that amounted to 110
shares.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—The market
was ugain subjected almost entirely
to tho caprices of professional traders
today, that •faction availing itself of
various developments and compllca
tlons to depress prices of leading
stocks from 3 to 6 points. Extensive
short coverings contributed to irregular and for the, most part normal rallies at the close, * '
Price movements were most bowil-
dering throughout tbe session, not less
than three successive declines and rallies occurring in the firsts three hours
with .some relaxation of pressure later.
Public interest was altogether^ negligible.
Following the usual custom, United
States Steel was again tho centre
centre, that stock recording an extreme
decline of 2% points at 109% und a
net loss of.l-Mt. Steel trading far outstripped tho combined dealings In
coppers, rails and the active specialties.
Ralls were inclined to advance until heavy selling in other quarters created generul irregularity. Canadian
Pacific was most heavy of the high
grade transportation stocks, while low
priced issues of that group were dull
and sluggish.
Equipments and munitions kept pace
with steel, Bethlehem losing 15 points.
Shipping shares were heavy to weak,
Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies making
an extreme decline of 6 Vi points.
Sugar also developed reactionary, tendencies with Petroleums," Industrial
Alcohol and Centrnl Leather, Even
SloBS-Sheffield Steel, on which dividends were resumed at the rate bf 6
per cent, failed to hold its early advance. Total sales of stocks 960,000
shares.
Increased firmness in sterling and a
further shading of marks were the
only changes recorded in foreign remittances. Domestic money rates were
unchanged, with a very light Inquiry
over the weekend. Forecasts point to
another large local gain of cash, mainly on the inflow from interior points.
Additional weakness In traction Issues featured the irregular and narrow bond marrfeU- Total sales, par

Bears dominated the wheat. >it from
the start. Notwithstanding thd evident
urgency of the foreign demand for
supplies, the likelihood of moves for
peace parleys received too great notice
to allow speculative buyers a chance
to develop enthusiasm. On «ho contrary, attention turned more and more
to .the possibilities In case predicted
fresh efforts for peace should meet
with somo degree of success. In this
connection gossip that foreign buyers
'had already acquired ownership of
the greater part of tho surplus stock
in the. United States led to much ner-
yousness on tho bull side, so much so
that at one tlmo prices dropped to
nearly 6 cents under yestcrda/'s latest
figures.
Something of a recovery occurred
In wheat prices during the ust part
of the session but not cnoug'i to disturb to a serious extent bearish control of the market. What rally there
was seemed to be based on signs of
fresh export purchasing, wh.ch in a
measure tended to remove irisglvings
that contingent wholesale unloading
by Europeans would yot suddenly over
whelm   the   trade.     After   t
fresh export business was figured as

THE    DIFFICULTIES    OF    KING
CHARLES VIII.
*King Charles VIII of Austria-Hungary, has three enemies to fight—the
entente allies, the conflicting elements
of'tho people of tho dual monarchy
and the Hohenzollcrn influence which
would make the Hapsburg caste a mere
appendage of the German ruling dynasty.
His difficulties are touched upon
frequently in despatches. Their magnitude is easily read between the lines
of the carefully censored news which
is allowed to go forth.
Prussian domination of Austria has
been evident since the beginning of
the events which led up to tho wnr
and it continued until Francis Joseph
died. ■ Since Charles succeeded to the
throne there havo been signs of revolt.
Charles and the Hapsburg class which
he heads have been endeavoring to
make peace with the Czechs in the
north and the Slavs in the south. The
Magyars have allied themselves with
the Hohenzollcrns. It is uncertain
whether the approaching resignation of
Count Tisza, their premier, is a victory
for the Hohenzollerns or the Hnps-
burgs, but probably Charles is responsible for It. If thnt Is the cose he lias
scored a victory against the ruling
Magyar element and Its ally, Kaiser
Wilholm. On the other hand such a
success would tend toward the ultimate loss of Hungary us well us of
Uukowina and Galicin, But probably
Charles prefers this to subjection to
tlje grasping "Mittcleuropa" caste nt
Berlin.
BRITISH    COLUMBIA     RETAINS
PLACE OF HONOR.
Figures of totul enlistments in proportion to population in Canadian provinces*-up to the end of lltlti place British Columbia and Albcrtu at the head
of the list. The relative standing of
the provinces is:
. British Columbia und Alberta, .09;
Saskatchewan and Manitoba (united),
.08; Ontario, .06; Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick and Prince Edwnrd Island
united). .01; Quebec, .01'.
" The total number of men enlisted In
this province, exclusive of those who
havo gone from British Columbia to
enlist in regiments stationed in oilier
provinces or in Grout Britain, is 37,757.
Alberta has enlisted 3-1,517.
Montreal has recruited 33,993 and
Quebec, 7729, a totul of 11,722 for the
province of Quebec.
YOUR    MONEY    IS    NEEDED    TO
FINANCE THE WAR.
This should be u your of thrill In
Canada. As Sir Thomas White points
out Cauudian savings will enable Canada to obtain greater munition orders
from Great Britain, because such orders cannot be secured miles tiils country can give the credit. Canada benefits enormously from munitions orders
and tho Empire as a whole gains the
advantage of keeping the expenditures
within iinpcriat bounds, thus strengthening the whole structure of Imperiul
finance.
Canadian bunks have already loaned
a quarter of a billion dollars for munition credits for the imperial government. They could not have done so
unless the people of Canada had first
deposited the money.
Money deposited in Canadian savings-banks helps the Empire to finance
the war and to keep expenditures within the Empire. Canadian savings ure
also" needed in large amounts for Cana-
•iWah" issues of war bonds.

'ifcVLTTtkE BELATED BUT ACTION
WILL ASSIST.
■ Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who antagonized
pUbllo opinion by refusing to assist as
a member of the national service
board, has bowed to Canadian -sentiment ,by urging, all to fill in thelfc
cards. The opposition leader's action,
announced In despatches last night,
will be welcomed and it is to be hoped
that.it will assist in effecting as complete as possible a voluntary census
of the manpower of the Dominion.
,; This is the last day ot "national Her
'Vice" week. There still exists some
opposition to the census, but it is clear
from -reports from Ottawa that an ex-
eellent response Is being mode to tho
Appeal to the patriotism of the men of

Canadian shells, Canadian agricultural products nnd Canadian money,

Senator Lewis, chief spokesman of
tlie Democrats in the debate oh (President Wilson's peace note, seems to feel
that the United States 1b pretty nearly
certain to too in the world's war series
instead' of in tho -bleachers In 1017.
Germans arc beginning to say that
they may be beaten in' this war, but
that tho British navy is responsible
for It and that in u few years of peace
Germany can'build up a navy largo
enough to enable victory to be won in
a second great war. That is why they
want peace now.

Not everyone can fight, but there are
many who nre willing to change to an
occupation more essential to the prosecution of tho war. Fill In your national service card today. All that is
asked is that the answers regarding
age, nationality, etc., and willingness
to change occupation to another in
Canada nt the snme rato of pay, should
be conscientiously filled In,
Expression on a national service
card of a willingness to change to nn
essential war occupation in Canada
does not tie tho signer of tbe card to
compulsory service in any munitions
works or other occupation. His freedom of action is not lost through his
unswers to the 24 questions asked. He
Is In as good a position to refuse to
be ''exploited," ns one opponent of the
plan ;has expressed it, as If ho had
never carried out his part of the voluntary registration scheme.
If the war is over by next April Germany will have to raise at least $3,260,-
000,000 in annual revenue to meet its
necessary expenditures. Her total taxable income is $!»,750,000,000. The revenue required is thus one-third of annual income. At present the Empire
has to find annual interest on a debt
of $12,500,000,000, wlille In addition
$3,000,000,000 of credit has been sanctioned by the reichstag. Expenditures
for domestic calls immediately following peace will bring the grand total
to $22,500,000,000. Theso striking figures are contained in articles in the
(VIgemeinc Runsschau and tlie Frankfurter Tagospost.
WHAT THE PRE8S IS SAYING. I
>*■>•* 4
Evasive?— Not Exactly.
Ben Tillet, the British labor representative, says to un American correspondent: "Tetl Oswald Garrison VII-
lard that we are not sick of this war,
and wo never will be sick of this war
till wo put down trickery, conspiracy,
inri beastliness In Europe." This Is tlie
kind of "evasive answer" the kaiser
feared.—Toronto News.
Political Opponents Hamper War Work
It Is said in despatches from Australia that Premier Hughes will lie deterred by political difficulties at home
from going to tlie Dominions war
uni'ereiire. That was to be feared.
Apparently tlie politicians have tho
stage in Australia even yet.—Toronto
Mull und Empire.
Must Be Caged.
German political philosophy is based
on the principle that, while the Decalogue ami the Sermon on the Mount
may be applicable to Individuals, nations as nations know no moral law
and need heed no moral restraint. Precisely there is the blunder and the
weakness of the Prussian autocracy.
When tlie time comes to appeal lo
moral sanctions, it is -bankrupt. An
well might a convict Just out of Sing
Sing go to a bank for credit. Germany
and her allies can only be dealt with
by force. Like wild animals they must
be caged.—London Spectator.
Judges Should Remain Judges.
Why judges should make poor candidates for executive office we do not
pretend to know, but it Is nevertheless
a fact, and it Is a fact to which political parties are bound to give more consideration in the future. Thus the fear
that the bench has been dragged Into
politics through the precedents set by
the nomination of Justice Hughes for
president and Judge Seabury for governor is stifled by the election return*.
On the whole It Is perhaps better for
the country that the judge should remain a judge, and that tho training and
experience of the bench should unfit
him for party leadership.—New York

I TENNYSON AND f
\^ _ _ _      j^ioyp JLB°AQAl
This Is, December tho eighteenth.
Tomorrow Mr. Lloyd George is expected to mako his first speech as prime
minister in tho British house of commons, a speech that will probably
prove a landmark in the world's history. May i recall to your readers
the marvotous resemblance between an
ideal depicted by Tennyson years before Lloyd George was born, and the
actual foots of his phonomcnal life.
This Ideal Is found in tho 64th canto
of tho "In Memoriam" and thus- it
reads;
Doth thou look back on what hath been
As some divinely, gifted man
Whoso life in  low  estate  began,
And   on a simple village green;
Who breaks his birth's invidious bar,
And  grasps  tho  skirts    of    happy
chance,
And  breasts  the  blows of circumstance
And grapples with his ovil star;
Who makes by force his morlt known
And lives to clutch tho golden keys,
To mould a mighty state's decrees
And shape the whisper of a throne;
And moving up from high to''higher,
Becomes on Fortune's crowning slope
The pillar of a people's hopo
The centre bf a world's desire.
Eacli of the four stanzas describes a
stage in the ideal career. Tho first
speaks of lowly origin, the second or
dauntless struggle, the third of national fame, tho fourth of illustrious
service to mankind. The first, second
and third have had their exact fulfilment In the career of Lloyd George.
Will the .fourth have u like fulfilment?
We hope so.—Hugh Pedley in Montreal
Gazette.
A CRITICAL SITUATION.
The price of paper which has advanced from 100 to 300 per cent nr
more over prices prevailing a year ago,
seriously throatens the life of a large
number of publications throughout ine
country and greatly lessens the profits
of others.
The newspapers, from the largest
dailies to the smallest weeklies, have
been bearing the burden, which lo
many publications will mean compbtc
destruction and to many others the
wiping out of all profit.
Had tho newspapers of the country
been ns prompt to defend their own interests as they have the interests of
others, they too, would before this, have
undertaken to save themselves by an
advance'in subscription price nnd in
advertising rates. Hundreds of the
smaller weeklies, including the religious papers, which have had but »
very narrow margin between profit and
loss, will, we fear, suffer most disastrously, unless the public promptly
recognizes the situation and accepts
un advance in subscription and tn id-
vertising rates, and thus saves the situation.
The day laborer, the mechanic, the
farmer, and nearly all business interests, manufacturing and mercantile,
under the activity of the CTmeS, are
showing larger earnings than for years.
But tlie newspapers as a whole are
meeting a more perplexing problem in
the doubling, nnd In eases the trebling
of price of paper, nnd in the absolute
inability to contract in advance for
supplies, tlinn they have ever had to
face before. The statements which
have recently appeared in tlie daily
papers on the subject do not at all exaggerate tlie seriousness of the problem.—Manufacturers' Record.

Taking a rap at Sir Max Aitken, or
Baron Aitken, or whatever it Is lately,
is a populnr amusement in Canada.
Personally we don't know Sir Mux, or
Baron Max, but we've heard that he
has a lot of money and thai people
are suspicious as to how he got it.
Persons who come from his native
province of New Brunswick say Baron
Max was nn ordinary young man who
spent an ordinary boyhood buck in
tlie home town. It was after he obtained his mujorlty and had moved
to Montreal thut he started the fireworks.
Sir Mux made rapid progress In
Canada, but it was after lie wont to
England that he really began to soar
in earnest, One day lie was an M.P.,
the next a baronet, the next a baron,
und the latest Is that he Just narrowly missed a place in tho new cabinet. Despatches tell us that he is an
intimate friend of Lloyd George nnd
of Donur Law. As already stated, wo
don't know Baron Max, but he must
have some personality, some quality
that makes his friendship worth whilo
to these national leaders. True, he has
money, but lots of other people in
England havo plenty of it, so tho
money doesn't explain the whole story.
Maybe some of the new buron's
boyhood friends can explain the quality that makes this young Canadian
the friend of those in the scats of
the mighty,—Winnipeg Kree Press.
t LOOK    AFTER    THE    EXPORT
I                        TRADE
*•♦♦♦♦♦»♦♦♦>»<»> »»>♦
It is the export trade that matters.
The home trade does not help our exchange. All that It docs Is to divert
our expenditure into channels that deplete our financiul strength. It encourages luxury and waste. It is this
defect In our armor which needs,attention. We have conscripted Industry in so far as the supply of the
material of war is concerned. But we
should go further. We should canalize Industry into export channels and
see that the supplies for the home
market, especially the luxury market,
nre not met until all the export demands have been dealt with. And If
there Is a deficiency of export demands then It should be the business
of tho government to see that new demands are found, new markets opened
up, and new opportunities for export
trade created. In that way we shall
increase our ability to endure, lower
the waste at home and Incidentally
aupply outward cargoes for our ship
ping.—London Dally News.

BOARD DISMISSES
MS PRESENTED
Right   of .Release   When   Player   la
Injured  on  Duty  Cannot  Be
Exercised by Cluba
(Ry Dally News Leased Wire.)
CINCINNATI, Jan. C—Tho National
baseball commission today dismissed
the petitions of tho Baseball Players'
Fraternity. Of tho four concessions
asked for by the fraternity the commission held that three of them did
not refer In any way to major leagues,
and, therefore, held that they were
Internal uffalrs of the National association, and could come before the
commission only on appeal.
The other concession, the ono ask
lng that "a clause In the players con
tract empowering clubs to suspend
without pay, after certain periods of
disability, players who are Injured in
service, be eliminated nnd that such
players be entitled to full pay ns long
as they are held under contract" was
also dismissed.   ■*.
The supreme court of baseball in
taking this nntion'says: "Innsrrfuch ns
llm commission Has iioror approved a
i Mil—wfcjfc w w-jj ,m mm—i
major league contract empowering a
major league club to suspend a player
disabled In Its service without, pay
and as the form of .contract approved
for 1917 requires a club to retain a
player Injured In Its service for the
full term, the request insofar as It
relates to major league clubs is dismissed because the condition com-:
plained of does not and cannot exlst.'^
In its finding the commission re-.
marks: "It will be noted that the right
of release cannot, be exercised by the
club when a player is injured while on
duty, nnd he is entitled to salary for'
the full term of his contract."

WANTS MONEY SPENT ON
NECESSITIES OF LIFE ONLY
(Hy Daily News Leased Wire.)
TORONTO, Jan. B.—Tho Empire club
of Canada laat evening passed a resolution that every government, corporation and person should spend no money
except for necessities and should buy
no articles which will divert labor

during the war.
Are You Intoxicated?
The question is not as impertinent as it sounds. You
may be a real teetotaler and
yet be "intoxicated"—that
is, poisoned by the gases
that come from imperfect
digestion. The products of
food putrefaction are taken
up by the blood and often
poison the entire system.
Cut out meats and starchy
foods for a while. Eat
Shredded Wheat with milk
or cream for breakfast; eat
it with stewed fruits and
green vegetables for dinner
or supper. It will cure autointoxication and make a new
man of you. All the meat of
the whole wheat in a digestible form. A perfect meal at
lowest cost. Made in Canada
Quality First
IVORY SOAP is not being advertised to you only because
it sells for 5 cents. We could

because it is the best soap that

you will continue to use it for the

'"After the student volunteer convention at Kansas City, In the winter of
1914, student missionary societies all
6ver the North American, continent
wero stirred with new life and enthusiasm. At MoGHl's we had a student
.volunteer band of sqme SO members,
representing all faculties. Taking
them as a whole, they were mentally
and physically among the finest members of the university; and they were
the first' men to enlist for overseas

"Only one wlro knew these two men
•pan possibly realise what .their Iqss
meuns, not only to relatives' ' and
friends, but to the church to which
they, had dedicated their jives.
"I knew them best Just at that time
in the student's life when the grounds
of belief, are shifting, and when faith,
like the barometer In April, is up one
day and. down the next. To tho man
of slow perceptions and timid mind, the
first years of college life are fraught
with no terrors'for the soul. Such
cling to the old ways and-are content
to shut th-ejr eyes to. any new light
that might possibly lead them into
dangerous conclusions. But for the adventurous spirit those are do)ys of
awakening, when a man. stands like
some stout discoverer on a hill I top,
gazing wide eyed upon a vast new
world. Days of agony of soul, too,
when for months at a time God fo-rgete
to be gracious and the way of life is
ciQMdpd over. It was Just such an. ex-,
pe-rjence for the two men of whom
I speak. Wo started a class of prayer
and discussion. The class was. led -by
Pick Ferguson; he used to bring there
every man he could find who felt himself In need of guidance. There were
many honest pagans la. the, lot.. Hut
we were all seeking after Qod that we
might find Him, and at times how
clearly we could see the certainty, of
the 'things that remain!'
"Many a -day Ferguson walked up
and down in my office with his quick,
stamping strides, now pouring out from
his enthusiastic soul his reasons for
the faith that was in him, now again
In doubt as to whether he had really
found his way.
"But through it all in both these
volunteers there burned the fires of
high purpose, and they both pressed
earnestly toward the mark of the higrh
calling in Christ Jesus. How we loved
those two men; they were leaders, and
there gathered around them a fine circle of men who, though' they had never
shared their religious experiences, were
attracted by their clean, strong manhood and their spiritual reality. Now
they have gone, and one asks the
question, Is that the end for them?
Is there no further expression of that
spirit of the volunteer which led
them on through life to death? The
spirit of the volunteer docs not die. If
there be denth at all, it is reserved
for those who never venture.   I know

not how death came to them, but I
Know that there would be no auiver of
regret. They gave life cheerfully and
without bitterness and in the same
spirit with-.which they had decided
long ago to give life in the service of
Christ on the foreign field. For these
men had both discovered that' finest
of all philosophies that; In order to live,
one must first die.
"There's none of these, so. lonely and
poor of old) ,, " ,
But, dying, has made us rarer gifts
than gold,
These laid the world away, poured out
the rich/ sweet wine of youth,
Gave up the years to be, of work and
joy, nnd that serene that men
call age,
And those whi>-' would have been their
sons.      ,*,.,-   ,    £ ■£&
They gave their Immortality."
THE UNEXPECTED.
"It Is the unexpected that happens"
has become a proverb. We make plans
and thoy may be carried out or not, but
In any event there always come results
that were not included In the plan-
results that not only were unexpected,,
but are often of far greater con.se-
•quence than the thing we aimed at,
Life Is so complicated; here are ao
many, forces at work all about us; the
conditions In the midst of which we.
work contain so many ppsslbllties,
that we never know, when we perform
0,0 act, what the Immediate and, much
less, what the far-off reactions will
be.' Perhaps this'is what Shakespeare
meant when he said: "There's a divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew
them as we will." And, indeed, it is
our only faith, lu the existence and*
control of One who can "see the end
from the begfpnlng" even in the most
complicated process, that keeps this
great uncertainty os to the outcome of
our actions from making us afraid to
act! It is wholly Impossible fbr us
to anticipate the results of action; but
chance, blind chance, does not determine these results.—Baptist World.
THE LIVELY BOY.   .
It Is true that overflowing life '" il
boy is a good sign. To be quiet and
good because one is too feeble or too
lazy to do wrong is not a promising
sign in u boy. But to have the.hoy of
overflowing, restless activity trained
in self-control, the activity guided in
worthy channels, filled with the spirit
of love and obedience. Is the only way
to make the best and strongest men.
JUDGE SAYS RELIGION
IS, CHIME PREVENTATIVE
Religion lias, long been recognized as
the great moral bulwark of the ,state,
but the value and necessity of efficient
religious education Is admitted today
as never before. The future state depends upon what religious education
makes It.
Judge Fawcett of Brooklyn -bears
this striking testimony:
"Approximately 2700 cases have
been brought before me lu my five
und a half years of service on the
bench. During al lthls time I have
never had to try u man who was at tho
time of the alleged offense, or ever
had been, an active member of the
church. 1 have asked each young defendant if he was a member or attendant nt a Sunday school and I have
never been answered 'Yes,' I believe
In Sunday school. When by the
means of suspended sentences or merciful devices I have seen fit to give
young prisoners opportunities .to lead
better lives in freedom I have in every
case insisted that the first thing they
must do Is to join n Sunday school."
TWO BOYS—AND GOO
A boy was born 'mid little things.
Between a little world and sky.
And dreamed not of tlie cosmic rings.
'Round which the circling.planets fly
Ho lived In little works and thoughts.
Where little ventures grow and plod.
And paced and ploughed his little plots
And prayed unto his little God.
But, as the mighty system grow,
His   faith  grew   fuint    with    many
SCOrs;
The cosmos widened in his view
But Gotl was lost among his stars.
Anfithcr boy In lowly days,
As be, to little things was born
But  gathered lore in  woodland, ways,
And from the glory of the mom.
As wider sides broke on his view,
Goi.l greateued in his growing mind;
Each year he dreamed his God anew
And left his older God behind.
He saw the boundless scheme dilute,
In star and blossom, Sky and cloud;
And, ns the universe grow great,
He dreamed for it a greater. God.

Means of Securing Jofis Hitherto
Closed to Women.
Women in iGreat Britain who were
throwing stones at the heads as well
as the hqu-ses of cabinet ministers
before the war, are today carrying
put a different campaign. The government* In its anxious desire .to obtain recrtil-ts for the army, issued a
p4.il for women to register their will-,
Ingness to do the work of men in the
nsuol masculine occupations in order
to release the men who could enlist.
There was an immediate response of
•80,000 women. . Tin; suffrage . leaders,
on their port, are cooperating with
the, government In persuading wonj.en
-to subscribe their names upon the
books of the, labor exchanges for the
board of trade to call them to work.
;*: Travelers in London have thejr
tickets collected by young women,
dressed simply and with nothing to
distinguish them from the passengers
beyond the brassard on the left arm
carrying the fnjtiajs of the . railroad
■company over the words "Ticket Collector," Women porters are employed
-at the Marylebope station': They are
supposed to be spared the heaviest
work, but passengers have become accustomed to Use them Indiscriminately with .the men porters.
Women Hackmen, Too,
Women booking clerks for railways
have been Installed. The Glasgow
corporation, after a trial with a few
female conductors, has instructed
the managers to engage wemen whenever vacancies have to be filled
through men flocking to. the colors.
In Yorkshire -Women are beginning to
corny the mail, one of them covering
dally a delivery round of about. 15
miles. In'Birmingham some of the
large military saddlers hove opened
school*} for the training of women who
are now ready to take the places of
men In the leather trades.
Many Were Unemployed,
".. It has bpen for many years the ambition of women and their various organizations to, force open the doors of
tjie government service. Their opportunity has come with the war and it
will not be a simple matter to turn
them out When peace comes round
again.

number of women and girls in Great
Britain of 10 years and upwards was:
Engaged In occupations, 4,830,734; retired oj* unoccupied, 10,026,37^. Of these
-6.-882.2S4' were married, and 1,364,804
were widowed. Of the unmarried, 3,-
1,22,493 were "Unoccupied." It is this

There Is no reason, however, for a
drastic change in millinery'merely because Purls throws the apple of victory
tb the brlmless hat. The woman who
allows fashion to dictate her clothes Is
a woman who Is never well dressed.
This is an axiom that should be turned
into a luminatcd motto and placed on
evory bureau and in every closet, to
render an admonition to every woman
Each of us needs- the whispering
slave and the chariot of victory to
warn us nnd to Issist upon, carefulness, and women have found mottoes
that confront them every day a reasonably wise substitute for the Roman
slave.
Few women need be exercised over
the choice of a hut with a brim, but no
woman can afford lo buy a turban
without giving it serious attention. To
say that it is impossible for certain
faces to wear turbans Is. not. strictly
true, for all depends upon the shape
and size of the hat. The tendency of
the young woman in smart society Is
to wear the tiniest turban that can be
called a hat. It Is oblong, it shows
nearly, all the hair at the sides and
back, and Its only ornament is a bit
of metal work in front or-n flnt, 6m
broldered ornament, but this style of
millinery ' * not suitable for nny grown
woman and it Is commended only to
those young girls who have set the
styles of the day, with their almost
emaciated figures, a suppleness reminiscent of a snake, a sleek coiffure suggestive of the charmer and a certain
bravado thnt is surely of the twentieth
century.
These girls are Joined to their idols
—let them alone and don't copy them.
It is true that they set the styles, but
they set them for themselves and no
one should attempt to follow In their
footsteps who is not.of their figure and
spirit -..

Modern Houstwife Requires Notiw 3e-
fore Attempting, to Entertain
Guests to Pinner.
Hospitality seems to be almost.a lost
urt in the present age, says the, Irish;
World. The days when the unexpected stranger at the door was bidden
in to eat and sleep are, past, In, some
parts of the west, however, one still
finds that open-hearted hospitality, in
homes where the host and his wife are.
always glad to welcome any traveler
who happens to come to their door.
But the modern, housewife of the east
is almost unacquainted .with impromptu entertaining. She., must be
forewarned in. plenty of time before
she will even.attempt tp. dine. a.-friend.
. It is rather a pity that this highest
form of hospitality should be allowed
to die out. After all, it is.not much,of
a tax pn one's hospitality to, entertain
a friend or two at dinner or luncheon
when the Invitation has been given, a
week or so in advance. Any woman
cap. do that kind ot entertaining with
ample time, for preparation.
But one's true metal as a hostess Is
shown when a friend arrives unexpectedly for lunch, or when the man of
the house turns up with a business acquaintance or twp Cor dinner. This
is a sort of situation which tests the
real value of one's hospitality, and unfortunately very few housewives rise
to suoh occasions at all successfully.
Don't let Impromptu, hospitality die
out in your home. 'Encourage your
husband to bring his friends home for
dinner, and your daughter to bring
her girl chums to lunch. Keep a
stock of canned goods always ready on
your shelves, and a supply of clean
table linen in your linen closet for
such occasions.

Colored Braid Effective.
The rickrack .braid is not only made
in white,, but also in pink and blue,
The colored braid on white can often
be* used with effect, especially at the
present time,.when a bit of color is so
much in vogue.
Dresser and chiffonier scarves of linen, with colored hems of chambray,
are unusual, but attractive. The hems
are sewed to the linen, then turned up
on the right side, where the edge Is
cut In Greek key pattern, or scallops.
Tho rough edges are turned in and
the hem held in place by rickrack
braid.
Care of Blankets..
Here Is a" satisfactory way of washing blankets: Slice half a cake .of
washing soap into two quarts of water.
Set on th.e stove and stir until dissolved, add cold water In a large tub.
To this soapy water add four tablespoons of powdered borax. Soak the
blankets in this overnight.'Then'^vash
them In this water, rinse'them twice
in cold, water, wring, and hang on the
line. This recipe will wash four blank-
kcts. Be sure and use only cold water
and they will come out as soft and
beautiful as new. A teaspoonfUl of
glycerine, added to the rinsing water,
will improve them. ,,
To Clean Linoleum.
To care for the linoleum on your
kitchen floor with the least work, wipe
off each week with a cloth wrung out

tablespoons of milk, half teaspoon of
•salt, and flour enough to make a very
stiff dough. Knead it. working in all

Shake out into, long strips. Add

FLAG AND SHIELD FOR
( THE INDIAN OFFICERS
; LONDON,. England—Queen Ale^anr.
drla recently presented, on behalf of
the League fof tly Empire, a silk Union Jack and a silver shield, subscrlb- j
ed for by the women and children of ]
(he British Isles, to a detachment of-
officers representing the Indian army.
Tho'service took place In the Marble
Hall of the India office, Whitehall.
Princess Victoria and Austin Gbaim
berlaln« were present at tho ceremony, !
and Miss Chamberlain, in a speech to
Hor Majesty, said Great Britain and'
the whole Empire were proud to greet
as noble and worthy comrades in arms
the brave Indian, soldiers    who   had
fought side by side In different lands
with   Britons the  world  over in  the
sacred cause of justice, humanity and .
freedom.   All the nations and peoples
within the Empire had responded with
ready and enthusiastic loyalty-to-the
cnll of their klng-em'peror, and to tho
uttermost, hud devoted themselves/to
his service.   The women and children "
of Great Britain wero proud to have
the opportunity of paying this tribute
to India, and of bestowing gifts which
might be of little Intrinsic value, but
wore rich In significance.   "May they
ever be,'* she added, "a token of union'
in  duty  and  loyalty  in  achievement
and aspiration."
Queen Alexandria then handed .the
Union Jack nnd the silver shield to the
officers drawn up In.front. "Jt gives
mo the greatest pleasure," sa|d .the
Queen "to present to you, on behalf .
of the women and children of the Brit-
ish Empire, this shield nnd flag, a tribute lo the bravo Indian army for their
brilliant services during; this great war.
Let mo assure you of my constant-and
great admiration for the splendid Indian army which has done.such wonderfully gallant deeds' all through'this'.
trying time, and also of: my'heart-felt
appreciation of the never-falling loyally and devotion formerly to my beloved husbnnd and .now toward our
son."
The taxi swayed and narrowly missed a policeman, then swerved again
as it dashed pawl another taxi, and In
so doing Just escaped collision with a
lamp post.
"Please be careful," pleaded the lady
occupant of the cab. "This is tho first
time I have ever ridden in a taxi"
"Madame, you havo my sympathy,""'
gasped the driven   "This Is the first
time I ever drove one."

There is a rumor here that while In

around James Bay go so for as to sug
gest that some proposals may be made
looking to the taking over of the line

way officially bandied so far, but thi
fact thnt the Pacific Great Eastern
has for the third time been unable to
pay its hnlf yearly Interest account of

MB OF GRAIN
P
Order   Issued   to    Hospital    Elevator
Owners and Operators by Grain
Commission.
(Bv Daily News Leased Wire.)
FORT WILLIAM, Ont., Jan. 5T—This
morning all hospital elevator interests
received the following letter over the
signature of the secretary of the Dominion Grain Commission:
"Under directions of tho board I am
today notifying the chief inspector,
and chief weightmaster that on nnd
after Feb. 1, 1917, all hospital elevator
owners and operators will bo prohibited from mixing or blending grades in
their elevators. Any deviation from or
disregard of this order will mean Immediate suspension  of license."
The action on the part of the board
of grain commissioners gives official
confirmation to the announcement of
yesterday that such an order would be
issued within 24 hours. Commissioner
J. P. Jones who is the only one of the
board at present in Fort William, when
asked as to the actual meaning and
effect of this notice to owners and
operators of hospital elevators, said
its effect will be to make hospital
elevators llvo up to the technical Interpretation of tho act ns It stands today. Thus hospital eleviitors will be
able to do nothing but terminal storage and to fulfil their ostensible function of taking care of damaged grain.
Must Keep  Grades Intact.
'The status of bospltnl elevators,"
said Mr. Jones, "has never been properly defined, but they havo been
protected in their operation by rules
and regulations laid down by our
board. They were permitted to buy
and sell grain which they held in storage, contrary to what is permitted to
termhiiil elevators. This privilege they
will still retain but they will, after
Feb. l, be compelled to keep each
grade intact nnd only blend It with
grain of like grade,"
Mr. Jones wns of the opinion that
the majority of hospital elevators have
too small a storage rapacity (or them
to pay a reasonable return on the in
vestment in machinery Installed out
of the storage lees allowed on grain.
Effect of Order.
One of the hospital elevators stated
today thai the Immediate effect of this
order coming Into effect will be that,
on Feb. 1, the value of all the plants
,noW Installed as hospital elevators
will be cut in half. But this, he added,
will be as nothing to the cut in values
of all grains from the grade of No. 3
downwnrds. The rarmers will have
the mills as the only buyers of low
grades. Also on that date there wilt
be approximately 4,000,000 hushels of
storage space put out of commission
for hospital men will not and cannot
use their plants for terminal storage
only. This 4,000,000 storage capacity
Is actually equal to 6,000,000 In terminal bouses, since mixing in hospital
elevators reduces the grain to fewer
grades. The importance of this Is seen
when It Is known that there are 138
grades of wheat, and tho government
terminal alone has 72 different grades
of grain in store. The terminals are
now getting filled up and the loss of
the storage elevators will be a distinct
loss to the country.

Doctor Tells How to Strengthen
Eyesight 50 per cent In One
Week's Time In Many Instances
A Free Prescription You Can Have
Filled and Use at Home
Philadelphia, Pa. Do you wear
glasses? Are you a victim of eye
strain or other eye weaknesses? If so,
you will be glad to know that according to Dr. Lewis there is renl hope for
you. Many whoso eyes were falling
say they have had their eyes restored
through the principle of this wonder-
ful prescript ioti. One man sayH, after
trying It: "I was almost blind; could
not sec to read at all. Now I can read
everything without any glasses nnd my
eyes do not water any more. At night
they would pain me dreadfully; now
they feel fine. It was like a miracle
to me." A lady who used It says: "Tho
atmosphere seemed Haiy with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for fifteen days everything
necms clear.   1 can even rend fine print
without glasses."   it is believed that
thousands who wear glasses can now
discard them in n reasonable time and
multitudes more will bo able to
strengthen their eyos so as to bo spared the trouble and expense of ever getting glasses. lOyo troubles of many
descriptions mny bo wonderfully ben
efited by following the simple rules.
Here Is the prescription: Go to any
active drug store and get a bottle of
llon-Opto tablets. Drop one Hon-
npio tablet In a fourth of a glass of
water and allow to dissolve. With this
IN tn Ul bathe the eyes two to four times
daily. You should notice your eyes
dear up perceptibly right from the
start and inflammation will quickly
disappear. If your eyes arc bothering
you even a little, take steps to save
them now before It In too late. Many
hopelessly blind might have been
saved If they had cared for their eyes
In time.
Note: Another prominent physician
to whom the above article was submitted, said: "Bon-Opto Is a very remarkable remedy. Its constituent Ingredients arc well known to eminent eyo
specialists and widely prescribed by
them, The manufacturers guarantee
It to strengthen eyesight 50 per cent
In one week's time In many instances
or refund tho money. It can be obtained from any good druggist nnd is one
of tho very few preparations I feel
should be kept on hand for regular usa.
In almost every family." It Is sold In)

Service
Desiring to assist in the
patriotic work of securing
a census of the manpower
of Canada, the city council
has authorized me to publish a notice to call attention to the fact that this is
"National Service" week.
During this week the men of Canada are asked to fill In oards which
ask for information which will provide
data as to the number of men who are
willing to undertake essential work
for the maintenance of the essential
industries of the Dominion.
If you have not already filled in a
card you may obtain one from the
postmaster at Nelson.
Patriotism calls upon us all to assist the government In this work for
the Empire. Help to make the voluntary census complete.

Insurance'Is a Serious Matter
During the past week, Mr. Man, you have worked hard and
done your best to provide "good cheer" and presents for the wife
and kiddies—that is all well and good and only what we all should
do—but what about ths future? Have you protected the wife and
kiddies against want at future Christmas times by taking'out
sufficient insuranoe? If not, start the New Year right. Statistics
show that the great majority of men lose what they have made
end are dependent on others at sixty. Don't be in the majority.

you die your wife and family are not dependent erf others,
