Canada After tho War The statistics of immigration show Uiat tbe European wars of tbe last century were all followed by a mark- id increase in the How of emigration towards the North American continent. That happened at the close of .ho Napoleonic wars, when the marl- time provinces received a great in- . 1ux of settlers. After the Crimean war again itumigrants poured inlo On- ario aud Quebec and n similar tid.i occurred after tlie B'ranco-German var. Tbis phenomenon was specially visible in the United States, whicli luring the greater part of last century remained the .chief centre of attraction for the European expatriates. Canada's turn eame notably after the South African war, and it is a rea- ionable conjecture that the end of the present world conflict will bo narked by a tremendous outflow of relumed lighting men to the Dominion. ���Toronto World.

The remarkable success of Dr, Williams' l'ink Pills in curing Si.

Pallor, listless- ness, Inattention, restlessness, ami Irritability are all symptoms which early show Unit the blond and nerves are falling to meet the demand upon them. Here Is proof of the great value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in eases of Ibis hind. Mrs. Alfred Socli- ner, U.K. No. 5, Dminvllle, Out., says: "Our ten-year-old daughter, Violet, suffered very severely from St. Vitus dance, The trouble came on so gradually that we were not alarmed until It affected ber legs and arms, which would twitch and jerk to such an extent thai h!.c could scarcely walk and could not hold anything' in her hands steadily. She suffered for aboul. five months before we began giving Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, hut she had not taken ihese long before we found tlmi ,they were tlle right medicine, und afler she bad taken nine boxes she bad i fully recovered her former health, and strength. I can strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to every parent having a child suffering from St. Vitus dance or any form of nervousness.'' lu troubles of tills kind no other medicine has met with such success as Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. Vou can get these Pills through any medicine dealer or by mall at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockvllle, Ont. Ti Will' Costliest of Wars Cost of Present War Will Exceed All the Wars ct Nineteenth Century h this is ihe most expensive ever waged Is beyond dispute. To our empire, it is already a costlier business Ihnn the wholo of our great nnd little war:, of iiie nine- i ii .'iiiii century pul togolhor. The overthrow ol Napoleon, spreading over many years and campaigns, Involved us iii an outlay nf $4,000,000,- 000. Our 'hrej greateBl wars in the I lasi century, inrludliig the Napoleonic, cost $5,750,000,000���8 total which our I ultimate liability in the present war | will assuredly exceed, Our South : African War bill was $1,250,000,000��� i small by comparison. The most stritdng contrast, however, may be obtained by reference | lo the long Crimean campaign, for I which we had lo pay only $350,000,- I nun. The greatest previous war of recent limes, tbe Russo-Japanese, I involved the contestants in less than $2,500,000,000 together. Months ago Prance's outlay on the present war exceeded her expenses In the Herman campaign of 1870-71, which totalled $1,680,000,000.

There are many men both ycungl and old who do not seem to realize the gravity of the situation, an do not understand that if Great Britain falls, her colonies fall with her, and that Canada, including this listrict, will come under the iron iel of the Germans .It is of no use saying, "My mother will not let ine go;" "My wife objects;" 'My parents are Socialists, and do not believe in ,var." It is now a time when ���very man must put the question qtinrtly to himself, Why do I not ^ulist ? If he has any principle, (I un sorry to say some men in this listrict boast of there knowing lothing of principle,) and a conscience-the answer will be, "It is .ny duty to enlist, in order to save .ny King add Country," It is the duty of the ministers ot. ill denomination in this district to'; :xhort the able bobied men of nilitan age who belong to iheb .'ongregalious lo enlist.

Tae man who has been unfortunate, tho bankrupt, tbe disetised, all look to the country as lo a place of refuge, an asylum, whero one may Iind the healing balr.i whicli shall bring life und hop,' to both body and soul. We believe that the cnuulry is uot only a good place t�� die in, but to live in. ll is not only a good place for tin; sick or unfortunate, but for Ihe vigorous and successful also. We believe that the country furnishes ; 11 ilu- things which make life worth while, let us consider what the country docs for those wbo ssek iis borders. In the first place, it gives health��� not only life, but abounding, pulsing life. The country will cultivate Unit desirable condition of body and mind which makes the man or woman "seventy years young instead of forty years old." Sonic years ago, a newspaper published a cartoon whicli we wish could be framed and placed in ihc bands of every country boy Profits From Scrap Piles The Economic Value of the Utilization of Waste Material uue hundred practical conservationists, business men who are the plo- neers und leu.lers in an American industry in its comparative stage ol In- iancy, who, hy collecting aud utilizing waste products of mini's, mills, nun laeiorics, are enabled lo do an annual business of approximately $700,000,- uim attended tne lirst annual banquet Of the National Association ef Waste Mmi riiii Dealers held at the Hotel Astor recently. Curtis Guild, loii.nr ambassador to Russia, was the principal speaker. .Mr. Quild warmly praised tlie waste material dealers for their prevention ol waste in raw materials, by which means they add to our national wealth, reduce the cost of living, provide new iiitionul industries and increase tlie prosperity of our country. The waste material dealer, be asserted, is the surgeon of industry. He tecited al length .be many curious and useful services rendered by the reclaimers cf waste products, Tlio Utilization of cotton-seed oil and of cottonseed until very recent ..ears a mere waste product of tho col ion crop, be pointed out, is new valued in ibe United States alone at $50,000,000 a year.

On ilie from of ihe (actory the words "Uo Back" were prim.:! In large type. On either side ot ibis command were two gigantic black bunds raised in warning, on one wa., printed in Btnrtllng white letters th" words: "High Prices;" nn the other: "Poor Health." Th, city lias rightly beeu called "the graveyard of the national physique." tllauco ni Lho working people us, in the noon hour, they pour forth from factories, simps, res- tttliruiltB, nll'iccs. I.ooli al their ihiu faces, Lliln stooping shoulders, thin gaunt figures. The luajol'ltj of tliese arc young people. The glamor of city life (tailzied ilieii eyes, and they left the farm Id come liiihcr. Tlie artificial life of lhe city I as sapped their energies, lhe tension has been too great, the unwholesome excitements offer'il hy Ihc city have sliul- tered their nervous systems; many of them ar,1 not only physical bul moriil wrecks. Tim outlook for theni would, we believe, have been fur brighter had thoy remained iu the country. At least so far us health goes, they would not so curly have become bankrupt. The advantages and attractions of ihe 'ity have, from the beginning been uver-oxplollea. In considering tbe urban und lhe suburban life, the latter bus been made 10 suffer by comparison. The city bus ever renewed its wiisied energies by drawing 01: the country fur fresh life and vigor. Wc do not think it overstepping the marls to say lhal the majority of Uie men in onr cities who arc eminent for leadership and fur intellectual and moral attainments are country-born and bred. In politics and in all the learned professions, our truly great men, who are not only cunt res of energy but who also bold high ideals, boast of a farming ancestry. Their strength ol both body and mind they owe to those vigorous, hard-working, clean- thinking men and women who tilled tlie soil and glorified lu llieir work. Statistics prove that, other things lieing equal; longevity is greater in the country than in tlie city. Not but thut there are notable exceptions lo ihis rule, hut those by no means disprove iho fad. em Country life not only makes for health, but it affords it feeling of independence und freedom so essential lo self-respect. Think of i- brief moment Of lho slavery of tlie musses of laboring people in tho city- They are rung in lo their work by n whistle and rung out by a bell; they are always under tlie critical supervision of an overseer, who takes note of every lapse of energy and reports the same to headquarters; ihey are subject to dismissal without 11 moment's warning; Ihey are thrown out of employment'nf the dictum of the trades union, and involved In the turmoil and suffering of a strike. Think of lhe grime, smoke und dust, the foul stiiling atmosphere in which thoy labor so many hours 11 week, month in and 11101.lb out! Contrast all these circumstances with those of the men who till the soil. Think of the freedom of the fields, lhe diversity of farm interests, the enthusiasm wliieh conies from being creators, of making capital lirst band; almoners of, nature's bounty; of being, in line, independent of the rush and scramble for mere existence because themselves the producers of tlio necessities of life; to suy nothing of 1 l.e attractiveness of working under the open sky where sun and winds make fnr superb health und clear bruin.--.Margaret Woodward in Conn trysldo Magazine. peasants, using tho wornoiit. painloro' brush, soaked with white lead, by cleaning d using the worn bristles 10 provide inexpensive and durable I scrubbing' brushes, ihe exportation of American cotton sine!.: e,s discarded by mir housewives who eel loin darn 1 hem, whero thoy are unravellod ami used as a cheap packing iu ihc manufacture of grapliophoncs and electrical machinery, while ths patched and darned European stockings, net having any other use, are exported from Europe in 'bis country fir lhelr only possible u:e as paper slock, were all recited as instances which clearly show lhal America is gradually but surely awakening to ihc possibilities for enormous profit in waste products.

' All Ihis was visual lo the visitor in Paris low nil the end of tlm winter of 1915, I'm' Paris was a place of sadness and mourning, but also of heroism and resolve. Her streets well descried of young men. as indeed is true of every town and city of France, and of her fields and vineyards also, They are all ai lhe front, or iu reserve depots, wailing [or the order to launch themselves into tile con- fliel.

Ar.d Paris does seem deserted to j one who knew lhe Paris of old. with \ its crowded slr.'ets, its overflowing j cafes, ibe whirling aiiiiiiy of its thoroughfares. There are many people about, lo l,e sure, nml sometimes the grand boulevards seem well filled, lint! the Parisian visitors of a year ago would hardly recognize thc French capital of today, su greal is Hie disparity between tin1 tccnii ig life of tbe place then and ils comparative mea- greness now. Also, the atmosphere of gloom is so great (hat one newly arrived feels it instantly and keenly, although the sensation wears (iff after a week or two under lhe anesthetic of time and custom. This feeling of depression which falls upon the visiting observer is deepened by the darkened streets at night; for while there is light enough io make one's way about the central and more frequented thoroughfares, yet the city as a whole is very sombre after sunset. An American thoroughly familiar with bis Paris found great difficulty in making bis way on foot, from a residential quarter lo the hotel section. No blazing are lamps longer Hare, and the system of electric lighting which was wont lo make tlie Paris nights so brilliant awaits the issue ot war to resume its iYh-.r.i'iiating work.

Martin Burrell, minister of agriculture: "The department of agriculture has received numerous reports of serious injury by cutworms from ull parts of Canada.

Clean cultivation and ths destruction of weeds are essential. Lands infested this year should be ploughed deeply in the early fall. The chief injurious species in Saskatchewan appears, from specimens received, to be the red-backed cutworm; In southern Alberta an army cutworm, not bit'.n rto recorded, was'the chief offender.''

Birds Help Man to Ksep Inst;'.; Under Control The true lords of the univi;.-.�� are lhe insects, according to a zoological article in llie Smithsonian annual report, on the value of birds tu men, in which the author, .lames Uuckland of London makes the statement that, although man imagines himself llie dominant power of the earth, he is nothing of the sort. Although .111111 J has attained predominance over the ! fiercest and most powerful reptiles, h? and bis Works would be of little avail before an attack of insects, which include a greatei number of I ing ( species tlinn all other living creatures linn combined. Sonic 300,000 species have [pests, been described, while possibly twice I thai number .still remain unknown. The author says lhal these hordes feed on nearly all living animals and practically all plains, and multiply into prodigious numbers in an incredibly short time. Computations show that one species, developing thirteen generations a year, would, ii' unchecked to the twelfth generation, multiply to ten sexiillions of individuals, while a single pair of the well known gypsy mollis, if unchecked, would produce In eight years enough progeny to destroy all tlie foliage of the t'nite,; States. One pair uf potato bugs, he states, would develop unchecked (10,000,000 in a single season, at which rate of multiplication the potato plant would not long survive. According to Mr. Buckkuid's article, insects arc quite as astounding in llieir consuming qualities as in their rate of increase; a caterpillar eats twice its weighl in leaves a day, and iii proportion u horse would consume a ion of liny in twenty-four hours, for- lain llesh-eatlng larva ! consume 200 times their original weight in twenty-four hours; in ibis manner an infant would devour 1,500 pounds of meat, during lhe Itrsl day nf its life. It is reported by a specialist lhal tlie food taken by a silkworm in llftj'-slx days equals 86,000 time; its original weighl. Through a predominating Insect diet, and on account of cm ei dingly rapid digestion, tlie birds bee.nne lhe most indispensable balancing force of nature; without their assistance man witli liis poisons, the weather, and animals, as well ns the parasitic predacious insects, would be helpless. The author then states how tiie bird is a benefit to man in a great number of ways: in checking insect in.:.skins, in preserving forests and orchards, tlieir service in ibe meadows ami gardens, their value in protecting live stock, and their usefulenss in the preservation of health and elimination of disease. Instances of tne birds' service 10 man include the introduction of the English sparrow into New Zealand, with the resulting ellminaticr. of the thistle und the caterpillar, whicli were ruining Ihc iand and crops, and the saving of Australian* agriculture from tho grasshoppers by tbe 1- raw-necked ibis, in individual craws .,f which an average of 2,100 grasshoppers wa? found.
