It is a course similar\nto that which has been wisely adopted hy the government, at Ottawa.\nHon. W. T. White,, milliliter of\nfinance, is credited, says the Toronto\nWorld, with the design of making\nlarge expenditures upon public works\nthroughout the Dominion, even though\nIt should be necessary for that purpose to borrow considerable money\nupon the credit of tlie Dominion. The\ncorrespondents who profess to know\nthe mind of the finance minister recall his budget speech of last session,\nwherein he declared that in times of\nfinancial stringency the government\nof a, country should spend with lavish\nhand. If expenditures tire increased\nin the face of a falling revenue, the\ncredit of the national government\nmust be used to some extent. The expenditures made in various parts of\nthe country upon the construction of\npublic works would give employment\nto laihor and distribute a great deal\nSuffered Seven Years. Itching and\nBurning.

This money would\nfind its way through the merchants to\nthe banks and tend to relieve the general financial situation. It is a device to whicli all governments have\nfrom time to tlme resorted, and its\nultimate benefit must of course largely depend upon the utility and productive character of the undertakings\nin which the money is Invested. In\na country -where so much la needed\nfor proper development in the way\nof construction, the .Investment in\npublic works could and should be\nprofitable to the nation over and\nabove the immediate relief afforded\nby increasing the demand for lahor\nand many kinds of material.\nSecretary McAdoo faces *; slmilai\nproblem. He fears a tight money sit\nnation, partly occasioned by the determination of the government to decentralize the bank reserves ol tho\ncountry. He has therefore announced\nthat the large reserves of the government will be made available for the\nrelief of the hanks by issuing currency\nand lending money to the lianks upon\nprime commercial paper. The smaller\nbanks will be assisted in becoming\nstockholders of the regional banks and\nin maintaining tlieir reserves by what\nis virtually an extension system of re-\ndiscounting along lines which will become permanent when ithe currency\nbill now before congress is enacted.\nMr. McAdoo largely assisted the bank;-\nin lhe south and west during the crop-\nmoving period, and has extended 'thi\ntime In which tlie advances ahead*,\nmade to them by the governmeni\nmust be repaid.\nWHAT IS IMPURE AIR?\nTho Smithsonian Institution lias recently published a revolutionary memoir iby Prof. Leonard Hill ami several collaborators, entitled \"The Influence of the Atmosphere on Our\nHealth and Comfort in Confined and\nCrowded Places.\" A main purpose of\nthe memoir, says the Scientific American, Ib to show that the chemical\nquality of ithe air in crowded and\nstuffy rooms has nothing to do with\nIts 111 effects, and that, apart from\nthe influence of infecting bacteria, the\nventilation problem is essentially one\nof the temperature, relative humidity\nand movement of the air. The ordinary tests of air for carbon dioxide\nare declared to be worthless. The.\npercentage of carbon dioxide in the\nworst ventilated room does not rise\nabove 0.1> or, at most, 1 per cent.\nwhereas tlie normal concentration ot\ncarbon dioxide in tlie lungs is from\n5 to (I per cent of an atmosphere\nThe writers adduce a great number\nof experiments and observations to\nprove that percentages regarded aa\ndeleterious or deadly by hyglenists\nare quite harmless. They claim that\nit Is also a fallacy to assume that a\ndiminished amount of oxygen Is harmful. At noted health resorts in the\nAlps tiie barometer stands at such a\nheight that the concentration of oxygen Is far less than In the most ill-\nventilated room. One unfortunate result of this fallacy is that the laws\nregarding ventilation of mines insist\non a high \u25a0percentage of oxygen, and\nthereby increase the danger of mine\nexplosions. Finally, the widespread\nbelief in the presence of an organic\npoison In expired air its equally erroneous. Tlie smells of crowded rooms\nand tlie like are no indication that\nthe air Is deleterious. \"The deaths in\nthe Black Hole of Calcutta, the depression, headache, etc., in close\nrooms, are alike due to heat stagnation; the victims of tlie Black Mole\ni(.ed of bent-stroke.\"\nTHIS DAY IN CANADIAN\nHISTORY\nnn December \"3th. 1678, the Franciscan I'rlur, Louis Hennepin, visited\nthe Kall8 of Niagara, of which In- wai\nthe first to publish an a< mil. lie\nthoughl them three or 'our limes an\nhigh a.4'they actually aiv, and said\nthat there was room for four carriage;! lo drive abreast beneath tin\ncataract on lhe American side; '.tut il\nis rot surprising that he was extra-\nordlnarlly Impressed by the immensity of the leap taken by the waters\nIn his description rendered into Fng-\nllsh twenty years later Hennepin\nmentions the Ta'bte Rick and a third\n\u2022\u25a0\u2022HI which disappeared Ions ago. \"Betwixt Lake Ontario and Erie,\" say:\nthe translation, \"Iher,. is a vast air\nprodlgioie*. cadence of water, which\nfalls d'-wu. lafter a sui-prift\/ri;,' aiiii\nnst-onlahlng manner, insomuch that th\nuniverse does not afford its parallel.\n. .

C, Bee. 5.\u2014A London despatch announces the sale of\n\u00a3 310,000 of British Columbia six\nmonths treasury bills, bearing 5 per\ncent Interest. Interviewed in respect\nthereto Sir .Richard McBride said:\n\"The provincial government has\nsold \u00a3310,000 of six months treasury\nnotes bearing 5 per cent interest in\nLondon at par. In view of the fact\nthat th-e British government paid 4 3-4\nper cent interest on a recent issue of\ntreasury notes the success attending\nthe British Columbia issue, which was\ntaken up with the greatest promptness, shows beyond contradiction how\nhigh our credit stands in the money\nmurket. Very naturally the public\nwill ask why the necessity arose for\nihe issue o,f tlieee Mils. It Is t-he,\"\npractice of all governments to put out\ntreasury bills for temporary purposes. The British government very\nfrequently does so, and tlie Dominion\ngovernment has done so on several\noccasions, Such bills are Issued in\nanticipation of revenue and' It has\nbeen deemed advisable to follow BUeh\na course here. As everyone knows,\nthe province began the ifiscal year\nwith u large amount, to Its credit In\nthe bank, but with -i program Intended to exhaust the greater part of it.\nThis program lias been carried out.\nThe government felt that in view of\nthe Interruption of municipal and other work due to the financial stringency it was not desirable to curtail\ntlie expenditure In any way and thereby add to embarrassment arising ont\nof tho general depression. I have not\nthe exact flgureB before me. but tbe\ntotal expenditure on public works\nsince the beginning of tlie fiscal yeai\nwill probably be found to be somewhere between $8,000,000 and $0,000,-\n000, a truly enormous amount for a\nprovince of 500,000 people and equal\nto what the Dominion was expending\nonly n few years ago. This expenditure has not exhausted the bank balance, for the province has yet a very\nsubstantial sum to Its credit. Certain\nlargo payments must, however, be met\nafter the new year opeii3 and thei*c\nare several large sums that will then\nbe pnyable to the province, but iu\noiticj* that every bill may be met\npromptly it seemed a good business\npolicy to make a temporary loan. The\nreceipts on account of extraordinary\nrevenue have not been what was expected, owing to causes that bave affected all lines of business, and the\ngovernment had three courses open\nOne was to curtail expenditure and\nthus accentuate the general depression, another was to force the collection of sums due the province and\nthereby embarrass many people, the\nthird was to proceed with the full\nprogram of public works and make a\nsmall temporary loan to cover possible deficiencies In the revenue. The\nlatter course,was adopted, and 1 think\nthe public will concede that it waB\nthe wjsest course of the three.\n\"I may add that the province has\ntied up in the former Songhees and\nKltsllano reserves a sum equal to the\nIssue of treasury bills. It lias also a\nvery large amount of accounts receivable, ontBttinding at li per cent interest. Under all these circumstances\nwe thought It was wise to issue treasury bills rather than force the collec-\nlectlon of debts payable nnd thereby\nhave precipitated results which in\nl IF YOU ARE\nLtNERVOUS\n\" or worried or vexed at trifles,\nyour vital forces are slowly but\nsurely deteriorating.\nScott's Emulsion overcomes nervousness\nbetter than anything else because its nourishing\nforce enriches the blood and stimulates its flow\nto all the tissues and bathes the tiny nerve cells in the\nrich plasma by which they are nourished.\nShun alcoholic substitutes that stimulate and\nstupefy.

Box 597\nshow that Uie actual tonnage In the\nwest Is larger than in the eiiBt.\nChairman Drayton interrupted to\nBtate that It was almost Impossible\nto draw any definite conclusions for\nthese figures. Other statements submitted were to the effect that tonnage east and west was approximately the same, but that rates were higher ln the west.\nMr. Whitla: Well, wbat I desire to\nemphasize more particularly ls that\nthe difference in the earnings In the\nwest Is out of all proportion to the\ndifference in the earnings between\nthe east and the west. This Is due\nto the fact that in 1911 the average\nearnings per ton mile in the west was\n$1.20 per mile, as compared with 83\ncents on the eastern divisions.\nMr. Whitla then went on to deal\nmore specifically with the difference\nIn the rates Charged in the east and\nwest. He said that a comparison of\nthese show that on distances from 50\nmiles to 550 miles rates are from 9\nto 89 per cent higher In the west\nthan ln the east. On grain and grain\nproducts, on distances from 100 to\n'.00 miles, rates on the western divisions are higher by 143 to 191 per\ncent than those charged east of Sudbury. Correspondingly heavy spreads\nas between western and eastern rates\nwero shown on cement, coal, live\nstock, wire fencing, etc.\nThe rates on tho wire fencing on\ndistances from 91 to 1100 miles were\nshown by the figures submitted by\nMr. Whitla to ,be from 39 to 159 per\ncent higher in tbe west than In the\neast. He submitted that these rates\nwere charged for the performance of\nthe same service in the west as in\nthe east- despite tlie fact that the cost\nof operation Is lower than In the east.\nWestern Rates Unreasonable.\nMi*. Whitla then referred to the\nclaim of tlie Canadian Pacific railway\nthat existing rates are reasonable.\nThis was an admission by tho Canadian Pacific railway that tbe eastern\nrates are reasonable from Its standpoint. That being the case, and It\nhaving been demonstrated that earnings are higher and cost of operation\nless In the west than in the east, then\nit is only reasonable to expect that\nthe commission will decide that the\nwestern rates must come down.\n\"No rate can be based on the density of the traffic alone. Standing\nalone it means nothing,'- said Mr. Cowan. Considered together With the\ncost of operation, however, it was the\nruling factor In making rates.\nA veteran member of the board\nlike Col. Mills could remember, said\nMr. Cowan, that from tbe earliest\ntimes wben adverse comparisons\nwere (madia (between Canadian and\nAmerican rates, the railways had only\n\u25a0one defence, that traffic was denser\nand cost of operation less south or\nthe line. This same argument had\nlater been used to explain the difference between eastern and western\nCanada rates. Mr. Cowan cited a number of tbe rate cases where this evidence l\u00abul beeu given, Toronto's complaint about east and west bound\nrates from Montreal, and the Vancouver case, where Mr. Gutelius, now\nmanager of the Intercolonial, had testified that the Pacific division was\nthe most expensive to operate, and\nafter that came Canadian Pacific railway branch lines In Ontario from\nTeeswater and Owen Sound.\nIf, when Canada was young and its\nrailway earnings less, its rates should\nbe higher than those of the American\nrailroads, then now that the country\nliad grown and the Canadian Pacific\nrailway's per mile earnings were larger than those of any American roads\nwhy had not the samo principle been\napplied?\nMr. Cowan spoke of empty car\nmovement east and west, claiming\nthat tbe difference between such\nmovement In the two sections was\nonly 2 per cent and quoting from Canadian Pacific railway evidence in the\nPortage la Prairie and const cities\ncases to prove his 'assertion.\nMr. Cowan quoted at some length\nmm the evidence in tlie Reglna rates\nHand Bags Make Very\nPresentable Gifts\nThat tliey \u2014\u2014 ' x\nMATHIEUS SYRUP\n. of TAR &\nCOO LIVER OIL.\nWomen's Hair\nMade Glorious\nParisian Sage Stops Falling\nHair and Dandruff\nNolhii\ndetracts from thi\nat-\nwomen as\nfaded,\ng so\ntractlvenes\nlusterless\nThero is no excuse fur t'list condition\nnowadays because notice is hoi'eby\ngiven to tbe readers of Tlie Dally\nNews that Parisian Sage, tiie quick\nacting bair restorer, Is sold with a\nmoney back guarantee at r\u00bb0 etnts ,i\nlargo bottle.\nSince Its Introduction Into Canada,\nParisian Sage has had an immense\nsale, and here are the reasons;\nII is safe and harmless.

I agree\nwith Sir Edward Carson that we have\nto consider carefully and sympathetically the case of the Irish minority,\nbut equally we must keep'In mind the\ncase of the majority, who, a\u00a3ter a\nstruggle extending over more than a\nlifetime, now see their goal actually\nin sight.\"\nMust Obey Orders.\nMr. Asqukh's speech comes at an\nhour when the newspapers of both\nparties considered that an attempt at\nsettlement had reached the stage of\ndeadlock and were taking the gloomiest view of the future. If the compromise Is cemented, the agitation\nover the army, which during the past\nweek has grown bitter, will be one of\nbh0 strongest reasons for It. Sir Edward Carson aiid some of the prominent Unionists\/ notably Lord Lans-\ndowtie and. Andrew Bonar \u25a0 Law, in\nBpeeches, suggested that the officers\nshould resign and the soldiers refuse\nto fire If ordered to fight fellow Protestants. The leaders of labor unions\nhailed these speeches as precedents\nand asked indignantly why Sir Edward Carson was permitted to advocate such a (policy -when Tom1 Mann\nwas recently imprisoned for a speech\nin which he advised soldiers not to\nfire on strikers. The present labor\nsituation is so delicate tbat the Conservatives apparently have begun to\nfear tbe influence of their words.\nEven Sir Edward Carson now declares\nthat the firat duty of tlie army is to\nobey ordors. A Dublin newspaper today said that Secretary for War Seel.v\nhad demanded the resignation of\nMajor Chrlchton of the horse guards,\na son of Viscount Erne, for his connection with the Ulster volunteers.\nThereupon eight officers of tlie horse\nguards threatened to resign, and the\nsecretary for war withdrew his demand.\nUlster Army Growing.\nNOTTINGHAM, England, Dec. 5.\u2014\nSir Edward Carson, in a speech here\ntonight, said that the Ulster volunteers, who numbered at first 19,000,\nnow aggregated 90,000.
