It could reduce expenditure to\nthe lowest, it could abolish patronage\nlists and Bpst*ms, it could institute a\nreal civil service reform.\nThe Union government would do\ntboAe things, and would see that tho\nproper burden of taxes was placed ou\nthe shoulders that could bear it and\nshould bear it. The government would\nlake over food Control, and in the effort to reduce lhe high cost of living\neliminate all sorts of middlemen and\n.profiteers.

Also, it would\nentail less financial burden for Canada, through separation allowances, etc.\n' Authorities estimate that, after all proper examinations have been allowed, Canada should be able\nto produce from the first class 100,000 men fit for service, so the drain upon the man power of the\ncountry will not be severe. ,\nMembers of Class One will be well advised to present themselves for examination immediately to\nthe Medical Board in their district.

Either\na freer supply of credit was required\nto finance the ordinary business of the\nexchange or further depreciation was\ninevitable under the liquidation of\nspeculative accounts, with unsettling\neffects on the financial situation, and\nto the detriment of the coming campaign for Canada's fourth war loan.\n- Gets General Approval\nTho decision to meet, the situation\nby going- back to n. plan of minimum\npriceB, similar to that instituted after the markets reopened following\nthe forced suspension in the autumn\nof 1914, met with the general approval of the authorities in charge of the\nwar loan campaign and the bunks.\nThe subordination of all other considerations in tho investment markets\nto tne new war loan appealed strongly to tho former. The establishing of\nthe market position while the loan\ncampaign was in progress was considered of more Importance than a temporary stay to the ordinary course of\nbusiness In the stock exchanges. Fur-\n\"ftier, the arrangement of a minimum\nprice basis, by solving the most pressing business of the stock exchanges.\nwould tend to release from that body\nskilled workers whose efforts are required in selling the new war bonds.\nWith the bonks the situation is largely that the demands of the moment\nIn conectlon with the financing of imperial government credits und the\ncoming war loan are too important to\nHOUS ES\nWe Have Tenants Who Want:\nJFte'.dP, ^6-room- well liu'hfthed\nhouse;, close in preferred.\n2\u2014B. or 6-room furnished house in\nNelson or- Falrvlew,\n8\u20145-room furnished house, cIobo\nin.

Tho action taken by President\nE. R. Tudhope and his committee today was duo solely to the over extended speculative position in Montreal\nwhich had its outcome in the failure\nof the exchange there to reopen.\nSoon after the Toronto session opened it became evident that unusual\npressure was being exercised, and\nwhen a Montreal bulletin announced\nsuspension of operations, trading here\nwas immediately stopped. After half\nan hour's deliberation by the committee, which was ln close touch with\nthe committee of the Montreal exchange, it was agreed that business\nshould be resumed on both exchanges\nwith the protective minimum to prevent liquidations\nMr. Hudson, secretary of the committee, following a conference held in\nthe afternoon, stated that details in\nconnection with the establishing of the\nminimum scale had to be worked out,\nbut that R wus hoped to have a complete list of prices at which stock\ntrades will be permitted early tomorrow. .\nOne of 'the questions to be decided\nis the practicability of fixing mini-\nmums for Inter-llsted issues such as\nC.

'\nGIVES SOME Vi S. WAR\n, SONGS AN8 CATCHWORDS\n\u25a0 A sympathetic English observer represents us as struggling almost fev-\niBhly to produce phrases about the\nwar. He gauges us as feeling quite\n\"out of the running\" while we have\nno catch words and this Is seen to\nhurt our national pride. \"There is no\ncountry so well aware of Its special\ngifts In speedy and pungent characterization,\" he says, admitting that our\nslang has \"an epigrammatic touch.\"\nThe fate we are found to dread is \"to\nbe left behind by those countries who,\nwhatever their qualities, are not to be\ncompared\"' with ours \"in swiftness, in\ncondensation and description.\" In the\nDaily Chronicle (Ixindon) he reviews\nour efforts\"up to now, with \"officialdom as well as the public and the\nnewspapers all working hard.\" Thus:\n\"The most prominent recruiting appeal, pasted. In huge letters on tho\nboardings, Is as follows:\nIt's not the man who cheerB,\nBut he who volunteers,\nTo whom all honor Is due,\nGet In line;, get a gun.\n\"The newspapers are torturing\nthemselves as to the pet name for the\nAmerican soldiers. They want something appropriating to the English\n'Tommy.* Many suggestions have been\nmade. One is that they should be\ncalled \"Teddies,\" a reminiscent title\nwhich keeps in mind the services and\nambitions of Col. Roosevelt. Recently\nthis has been supplanted by the name\n'Sammies,' derived, of course, from the\nnational figure, 'Uncle Ram.' Neither\nhas made a hit, though some of the\npapers are perserverinj? with the latter. There was a little shock the\nother day when it was cabled that\n'Sammy' in rural districts In England\nmeant silly, stupid, even something\npertaining to the village idiot. Strong\nminded Journals thrust the suggestion\naside, however, and persisted with\n'Sammies.' One ingenious correspondent has put forward the joint nickname, 'Sammy-Ted,' but scorn has\nbeen poured upon him.\n\"Not less strenuous than the search\nfor names and phrases has been that\nfor a popular song which shnll equal\nour 'Tipperary' or 'Keep the Home\nFires Hurnlng.' Here, too, there hns\nbeen no absolute success hitherto. Experiments are still going on In the\ntheatres and music halls. Perhaps the\nmost popular to the present is 'Good-\nby Hroadway, Hello France.' Recruiting automobile vans with a dozen or\nmore soldiers pull up at crowded centres like Times Square or Madison\nSquare, and the lads in khaki roar\nout the chorus through megaphones\nto the people who gather round. The\nwords run thus:\nGood-by, Broadway; hello, France;\nWe're ten million strong.\nGood-by sweethearts, wives and\nmothers;\nIt, won't take us long.\nDon't worry while we're there;\nIt's for you we're fighting, too,\n80 good-by, Broadway; hello, France,\nWe're going to square our debt to you.\n\"It goes with a swing and a dash,\nand sounds a good deal better than It\nreads. Another one the recruiters sing\nIs, 'Where do we go from here?' The\nchorus is as follows:\nWhero do we go from here, boys,\nWhere do we go from here?\nAnywhere from Harlem to a Jersey\nCity pier.\nWhen Pnt would spy a pretty girl,\nhe'd whisper in her ear,\nOh joy, oh boy, where do we go from\nhere?\n\"The peculiar excellence of this as a\nwar-ditty, It will be observed, is, like\nthat of Tipperary, its complete irrelevance.\n\"What is entitled tho 'official recruiting song' has the following lines:\nIt's your country, it's my country;\nWith millions of real fighting men.\nIt's your duty and my duty\nTo speak with the sword, not the pen.\nIf Washington were living today,\nWith sword in hand, he'd stand up and\neay:\n'For your country, and my country.\nI'll do it all over again.' -\n\"It may not be good poetry, but the\nsentiment is beyond dispute.\"\u2014Literary Digest.\nMayor Martin of Montreal has\nwritten to the principals of all the\nschools ln this city asking them to\nascertain If there are any school children who have to so breakfastleSB to\nschool, and, If so, to let him know.\nDODDS\nf-KIDNEY\nl=HTS DlSf;\nWRIGLEYS\nThe Gum of Gumption\nCleanses the teeth\u2014sweetens the\nmouth\u2014allays thirst and fatigue.\nThe Forces in Europe are finding it a\ngreat comfort.\nmnaEm\nC\/MUUM\nSmokers wilt\nHnd It soothing\nand cooling\nChew it\nafter\nevery\nmeal \u2022\nIt gives them vim\nand staying power.\nIt is refreshing\nto workers - - \u201e\neverywhere.

The adjutant, when\nquestioned on the subject, would say\nthat he had no official news, but recommend us darkly, to read the\nField Service Pocket Book on the subject of the weight of officers* valises.\nOur bombing officer, whoso (high\noccupation entitles him to dwell in\nthe tents of the great, and have communion with colonels, was greatly exorcised by the knowledge that in his\nvalise lay certain Lreasuros which bo\nhad acquired from Frit\/, in the ordinary course of exchange and barter,\nand that they did hot tend to decrease\ntho weight or bulk or his belongings.\nHe was horrified, therefore when, as\nbo stood talking lo tho C. O. outside\ntho dugout which was battalion headquarters, he heard the tottering foot-\nstops of one carrying an Immense load,\napproaching up tiie communication\ntrench. Presently, through the Kl(jom'\nappeared the figure of a diminutive\nAtlas staggering beneath n world of\nvalise. The C O., with an air of conscious rectitude, began a sermon on\ntho Iniquity of men who accumulated\nlarge kits. When he was in the middle of an Inspired peroration, Atlas,\nleaning his burden for a moment\nagainst iho wall of the trench, wiped\nthe sweat off his brow with his disengaged hand, saluted the orator, and\nsaid, \"Where shall I put your valise,\nsir?\"\nRumors for once in a way blossomed\nInto facts. And when, a. few nights\nlater, we turned out of the oommuni-\noation trench on to the narrow road\ntbat led to our billets, wo looked back\nalmost longingly to the. familiar flat\nfields, and the radiance of the Very\nlights, soaring high ovor the trenches\nthat we were leaving, perhaps for the\nlast time. There Is something sad in\nleaving a. place, oven a place of many\nunpleasant memories, if you havo been\nthore a long time.\nThe next day we hoard that we were\nreally moving fn 24 hours under sealed orders. The attention of all officers\nwas directed to GB. R.O. No. 345,\nwhich dealt with the authorized\nweight, of officers' baggage, nnd the\npains ami penalties which would be.\nvisited upon any sinner whose valise\nfailed lo comply with the regulations.\nThe conscientious subaltern, coming\nout. to France for the first time, contemplates Willi pride the slim waist\nand modest weight of bis valise, confident that any A, M. L. O. or R. T. O\non Lhe prowl for large kits is power-\nleys lo touch him. As the days pass\nInto woeks, and the weeks intoanonths\ntho valise, which once had such an\nunassuming appearance swells gradually, like the frog in the fable, to\nenormous proportions. The straps,\nWhich once flapped loose, strain themselves in their efforts to embrace the\nmonster. It has swallowed mufflers\nand woolen waistcoats from Aunt Matilda, gum boots from Uncle Jamse,\nand perhaps some weighty souvenirs\nfrom brother Frit\/, as well.\nMess property, too, has a way of\naccumulating, Ail the extras which\nhad relieved the monotony of trench\nlife, and were conveyed on our short\npilgrimages by the courtesy of the\ntransport officers, had now, ono and\nall, to be dumped. For the men, generally a move has no terrors. The\nregulations about the weight of baggage does not affect ihem. They arc\nin the habit of carrying their Lares\nand Penates on their hacks. While\ntbe officers of A company are regarding disconsolately a 'portable' gramophone which cannot lie disguised any\nlonger as 'tea and sugar1 or the company cooker, and tbe bombing officer\nis looking his last on tho twenty-four\nrifle grenade .stnnds. which he is reluctantly compelled to leave behind\nas 'billet stores,\" the men of the battalion are free to celebrate tho unusual absence of working parties by\nspending some of their hardly-won\nfrancs in one of the local eslamlnels.\nExcept for tbo lew who are doing fatigue under the watchful eye of tho\nquartermaster or lt, H X., tholr responsibility begins and ends with rolling their ablanke-ts Jn \"bundles land\nleaving their billets swept and garnished for the next tenants,\nTbo actual day of a move is usually\na good example of the manner in\nwhich the army, by a mixture of opportunities ami good management,\nproducer order from a state of apparent chaos. Ours was no exception to\nthe rule. G. S. wagons, under the\nfrenzied directions of a perspiring\nquartermaster, Homehow got loaded\nund moved off at the appointed hour\nto take their place in the divisional\ntrain. The transport officor was astir\nearly, arranging for the marshalling\nof Jiis 'flock; water carUj Maltese\ncart, company cookers, and tho rest\nThe billeting officer, mounted on tho\ndoctor's horse, and knowing his mount,\nhad set out some hours In advance to\nkeep IiIh appointment with the staif\ncaptain at tho town round which the\nbrigade would be billeted for the\nnight.\nThe doctor's horse was an evil beast\nto ride. He was principally composed\nof salients, and they are notoriously\nuncomfortable places. A peculiarity\nof tiie animal was that it nover went\nin the direction ln which its head\nwas pointed, but moved sideways,\nrather like a crab. His progress along\ntho road, when ridden by an inexperienced rider, was a series of tacks from\nona side to tho other. Tho doctor\nsaid that his magnetic variation was\nusually about 15 degrees, Tho doctor\nseldom mado him trot and (he was a\nkindly man) whenever he saw a particularly tempting patch of grass on\nthe sido of tho road, ho Invariably\nstopped to allow his steed to graze.\nUnder these circumstances, progress\nwas necossarlly slow. In fact, if ho\nwas In u. hurry he always borrowed a\nbicycle. He thought of his horse\nmeroly as something to sit on when\nhe was tired. Tho billeting officer\nshowed his wisdom In starting early.\nThe platoon officers, too, had their\nown particular business. You can generally know a battalion by the state\nIn which it leaves its billets. No butty\nbeef tin must be left unburied, no floor\nunswept, when the battalion marches\nout. The platoon must be ready to\nthe last button, when the order comes\nto move off,-\"\nTen minutes before the appointed\ntime, company sergeant majors reported to company commanders that\n\"the company Is paraded outside billots ready to march off, sir,\" and\ncompany commanders passed on the\ninformation to tho adjutant. The command \"move to the right in fours,\"\nbore a deeper significance than usual\nthat dayh Every man of them there\nknew the purposo of their going, and\nhis pack felt lighter for tho knowledge.\nTen minutes later, the battalion, with\nthe colonel at its head, shook tho mud\nof Its late homo off its feet, and set\nits face towards the cross roads, a\nmile away, where it would take its\nplace In the line of march of the brigade.\nThe day's march was much as other\nday's marches, along a road tbat we\nknow of old, through neat, whitewashed villages, between orchards heavy\nwith blossoms and fields green with\ntbe promise of harvest, where worked\npatient women who did not look up as\nwe passed. They aro nearer the war\nout. there,\nAs the afternoon drew on towards\nevening, we could see in the distance\nwhat we now knew was to be our\ndestination for that night, whore a\nchurch spire rose high above tho trees.\nAching feet and heavy packs were all\nforgotten for the moment, and the men\nbegan to sing'. The song thoy sang,\nas they swttng along tbe cobbled road\nbetween tho poplars, was not a new\nsong. Tommy is very conseravtlvo in\nthe matter of songs. But the words\nheld real meanings for all of them\nnow.\n\"Here wo are, hore we are, here we\nare, again!\" For they were all coming back, the trenches left behind them\nand forgotten for a space, to the little\nvillage nmonst the apple trees that\nhas bidden farewell whon they marched out on their way to tbo line for\nthe first time, six long months ago.\nYet not, all of them! A few rough-\nhewn wooden crosses in a certain\nquiet graveyard in Franco bear witness to that.\nIRELAND'S TROUBLES.\n\u00ae $\nWithout a doubt the Vatican could\nexercise a great influence to smooth\nover troubles in Ireland. It is an influence that has bjeen exerted in the\npast; for at the time of the Land\nLeague agitation, In IR80, Great Britain\nsent nn envoy to the pope to lay before\nhim tho difficulties; that were being\nexperienced. While the. nature of the\npressure brought to bear was never\nmado public, there ts nu doubt that it\nbad beneficial results. Wo read that\nat tiie Sinn Fein convention, now being held fn Dublin, there are many\npriests in attendance. Their sway\nover that element of tbe Irish people\nwho aro threatening rebellion is very\ngreat, so great that it rests with\nthorn to pacify the Sinn Felners. It Is\nprobably because the Vatican has not\ninterfered that their energies are allowed full play, and doubtless what\nis best in Ireland's interests.\nWe believe that if Britain were to\nsend an envoy to Rome to lay the\nwhole ease before his holiness and to\nseek his interest in avoiding the bloodshed which seems probable, tbe aid ho\ncan give would be extended. Ireland's\ntroubles, Incidentally, are postponing\ntbo coming of peace which Pope Bone-\ndiet is praying for daily. The Catholic religion predominates among the\nIrish. All those who are threatening\ntrouble at this time are of that religious persuasion. This fact has nothing to do with their animosity to England, lint it is a point upon wliiou\ntheir sympathies can be most readily\nreached.\nAt tho time the good services of Lho\nVatican were enlisted when the Land\nLeague troubles prevailed, Mr. Gladstone, who was then prime minister\nwas not sympathetic with the course\nproposed, although he gave in to wiser\ncounsels, Jt may be thnt there arc\nelements at work today which prevent\nan appeal being mado to the pope. If\nthero are any such, they should lie\neliminated. If the Sinn Fein movement Is to be kept within legitimate\nchannels there must be pressure ex>\nertcd from without, and it is the hope\nof tiie world that every course, will\nbo tried to obliterate the tendency\ntoward treasonable practises. Thosi\nwho know Ireland, and who realize the\nInfluence that the Vatican can exert\non the turbulent spirits in her midst\nwill pray that Popo Benedict, at Britain'!; request, will see his way cleat\nto quiet the troubled waters where!?,\nso much danger lies.\u2014Victoria Colo,\nnlst.\nPROVINCIAL RIGHT8.\nSenator Bostock makes complaint\nthat no Liberal from British Columbia\nhas been called to the coalition ministry. He is not so tolerant as the Conservatives of Saskatchewan and New\nBrunswick, who seem to have accepted\nwithout complaint the compromise\nwhich leaves them without a minister\nin.either province. In the last house\nthe Conservatives had five members\nIncluding ono minister from New\nBrunswick, and one member from Saskatchewan. Now they are consenting to\nsupport Mr. Carvoll, who has been one\nof their most bitter and offensive opponents, and Mr. Calder, whose strategy has been instrumental in building up the most efficient Liberal organization in Canada. The Liberals\nof British Columbia did not elect a\nsingle member to the last house, and\nit would be hard to show that they\nhave any stronger claim to a place In\nthe ministry than the Conservatives in\nNew Brunswick or Saskatchewan. To\ngive, 'representation to iboth parties\nfrom each province would- have added\nfive new ministers, since Prince Edward Island had no minister from\neither party. Senator Bostock himself, as the Liberal loader ln his chamber, and as a mnn well liked and respected by his political opponents,\nwould have a claim to appointment if\nanother had been made from this\nprovince, and he had not opposed the\npolioy which is the basis of the coalition.\u2014Vancouver Province.\nCOLD STORAGE\n ,\t\nLittle Ralph, aged seven, was being\nreproved for getting into a fight with\ntho boy next door. \"1 never got Into\nBirks' Certificated\nRailroad Watches\nhave been tested under\nvarying conditions for accuracy.

Every ingredient required by the\nbody for perfect health must come from food. There is\nnot one essential food element missing in Soman Meal;\nall are present in proper proportion. Roman Meal is thus\na \"balanced ration.\" This accounts for the sense of\n\"wellness\" following use of\nDr. Jackson's\nI Roman Meal\nIt is superior because:\nFirst\u2014It is the only balanced\nration sold in package form\nbeing composed of wheat, rye,\nbran and flaxseed\u2014the latter\nrendered odorless and tasteless\nby electricity. .\nSecond\u2014Our digestive canal\nwas developed into a forty-foot '\ntube of muscles because our\nancestors lived upon food with\nmore waste than nutrition, considered by bulk. This waste\nwas largely grain waste. Without plenty of waste the digestive canal does not function\nproperly, and constipation results. Roman Meal\ncontains exactly the\nright amount of waste.\nOver-milled and over-\nrefined foods contain\nnone.\nThird \u2014Roman\nMeal contains 25%\nflaxseed. Flax isthree\ntimes as nourishing as\nwheat, rye or oats.\nTherefore Roman\nHeal not only has the\ncorrect amount of\nwaste, but it is very\nnourishing as well.\nFlu heals the IrriU-\nDonLSTir\ntion caused by bran, and prevents intestinal catarrh often resulting from bran used alone, or\nwhen mixed with white flour or\nrefined cereals. Roman Heal\nrelieves constipation or \"money\nhack.\"\n\u25a0 Fourth\u2014The excessive quantity of starch in white flour sad\nrefined cereals ferments and\nproduces vegetable acids. These\nare absorbed into the blood,\nturning it acid. This acidity\nhappens because the soluble\nalkalis which Nature provided\nin the dark parts of the grain\nto prevent this absorption\nare milled out and thrown\naway. Roman Heal\ncontains the necessary amount of soluble\nalkalis to keep tha\nblood non-acid.\nAcid blood produced\nby the refined cereal!\ninduces disease in the\norgans. The alkalis in\nRoman Heal keep the\nblood fluid and \"cool.\"\nTry Roman Heal.\nGet it at your grocer's.\nDo not stir Roman\nHeat porridge except\nwhen mixing meal sad\nwater.\nRamaa Meal Cemsur, Toronto.

Larger dally totals show a cend-\nency for a rush during the last few\ndays before the time expires for registration according to the procinma-\nUon issued recently.\nAt the postoffice today 11 men\nmndo application for exemptions and\nthree enlisted. The total number of\nenlistments slnco Saturday are nine,\nwhile .il have applied for exemption.\nThe medical board had a busy day\nyesterday with 24 examinations.

F. Gi-\ngot of the. local board of'trade in answer to a query which was brought\nto the attention of the local board\nsome time ago.\nArrangements have been made with\nthe postal authorities in the States\nwhereby certain publications bearing\na small printed notice on tho top of\nthe cover page allows the holder of\nthe magazine or periodical to send it\nto a soldier in France for one cent\nThe magazine is placed in tho bands\nof the postmaster, who bundles all of\nthem together and ships them in parcel lots to the trenches, where they\nare distributed to the American soldiers,\nThe local hoard of trade had discussed the matter and It wan decided\nto question the authorities why similar action could not he Introduced In\nCanada. In reply, the authorities point\nout that to a great extent transportation difficulties will not allow favorable consideration of the matter, partially due tu the restricted tonnage\navailable for service between Canadian points aud the fact that malls\nfrom Canadian points to tho soldiers\nin France puss through tho hands ot\nother than Canadian authorities.\nAmerican mails are handled entirely\nby the United States postal department. In addition to this the amount\nof mall which would result In Canada\nadopting a similar plan to that now\nin vogue ip the United States would\nmean nn influx of mall which would\nbe great in comparison to that sow\nbeing handled by the American authorities aa the Canadian army Is ns\nyet considerably larger than thn number of American soldiors in Franco.\nMagazines and periodicals must,\ntherefore be posted to \"Tommy\" Individually addressed and bearing the required postage.\nALL'S IN READINE8S FOR\nTONIGHT'S CADET DANCE\nAt the Kaglo halt tonight Nelson's\ncadets will offer an entertaining and\nunusual program in the form of dance,\nsupper and games.

They\nwero the first mortals to dlo and since\nthat time have been guides to the\ndead.

A. Pringle, K. C\u201e under\nauthority of the Dominion government,\ncame to a close. Owing to frequent\nadjournments it had lasted severat\nmonths. As the order in council fixing the price of newsprint paper to\nCanadian publishers at $50 a ton expires on Wednesday, the last of the\nmonth, the commissioner has to make\na recommendation to, the government\npromptly, and he hopes to place an interim report on his findings in the\nhands of tho minister of finance by\nWednesday night. It is likely that a\nnew order In council fixing a new\nprice based on the actual average cost\narrived at by the commissioner tn his\ninvestigation will shortly be promulgated, to last, it is understood, for the\nduration of the war.\nMeanwhile at the closing sitting the\nmanufacturers present agreed to continue the supply of newsprint paper\nat $50 a ton until Saturday. At the\nclose of the enquiry Mr. Pringle stated that from the figures showing costs\nin the plants investigated, which had\nbeen gathered by the chief accountant,\nG. T, Clarkson of Toronto, the newspaper publishers had been given a\nround $500,000 by the manufacturers\nIn tho past eight months. In the case\nof one mill, the E. B.
