Minister's Close Call
ltev.A.C. Wishart, one time presby-

bad a close call in an ant-, accident on
March 15th. 'He was driving his car,
accompaiVd by two ladies. In going
through tile subway on 1st Street west
the automobile skidded and bumped
into a street car. The reverend gentle
man was thrown 15 feet against the

shake-up that used him up for a time.

internal injuries were feared for awhile.

ing falls. The factory hand must eatsas
much as his wealthy employer—and
perhaps he needs more meat and butter
—so that the prosperity of the producers
-of foodstuffs is -at the expense of -the
middle class rather than of the rich.
The hope That there would be a rapid
decline in prices of food and clothing
with the ending of the war is not likely

ent for food, clothing and 'building mat-
erial for a few years at least. The plan
of extending credit- to the Earopesn
countries is going to have the effect of
maintaining foodstuffs at a high level
of prices here. Without the credits the
people of Europe could not buy, our
markets would soon become glutted and
prices would decline. As it is there is
unlimited effective demand and instead
of the expected decline, prices are even
advancing.
This condition of things will, on the,
whole, turn out well, and eromote pros-

distributed to all who are taking part
in production, and not concentrated

THE COMING REFERENDUM ON
LIQUOR SELLING ."
1 -Are you in favor of the repeal of
the ( hitario Temperance Act!
2 - -Are you in favor of the sale sf
light beer,.. cotitaining not more than
2 51-100 alcohol- weight merisure,through
Government agencies 'and amendments
to the Ontario Temperance Act. to per-
mit such sale!
3 -Are you in favor -of the sale of
light beer containing not more 'thin
2 51-100 per cent. alcohol weight meas-
ure in standard hotels in local munici-
palities that by a majority vote favor
such sale and amendments to the Ont-
ario Temperance Act to permit such
sale!
4 -Are you in favor of the sale of
spirituous ,and malt liquors throurzh
Government agencies and amendments
to the Orairio Temperance Act 'to per-
mit such sale!.
• These are the .iue'tiors to which the
people of Ontario will be asked to give
an answer by vote next fall
The ballot is somewhat complicated,
bit if voted upon intelligently it will
have the advantage of giving the gov-
ernment exact information as to temp-
anc, 'itntuttelTh-eltorrime-. --
There is, however, danger of a great
deal of confUsien, and we may look for-
ward to an active and vigorotis cam -
Deign both for and against the regula-
tions proposed.
Strong temperance advocates will vote
"no' upon all the questions submitted.
nesse words "light beer, containing
not inure thin 2 and 51-100 per cent
alcohol weight measure" used in the
second and third questions, is rather
misleading. The casual .reader takes
for granted that this means the ordinary
light, local option beer. But such is not,
the case. Beer containing s! si 100 per
cent alcohol 'is a very ditterentsartiele
from beer containing 2i per cent proof
spirits, which may be sold under local
option. We understand that it is prac-
tically the ordinary lager beer --a
lighter but not much.
If it is, question No. 3 proposes the
reopening of bar rooms for the sale of
beer in standard hotels. It is around
this question that the fight will rage.
It will be noticed that it is nowhere
proposed to open bars to the sale of
whiskies, exceptibg so jai- -an that is
proposed in .the first guerillas:a._ The
liquor interests' .will not expect a vote
favoring repeal of the Oatario Temper-
ance Act, so they look forward to such
-Modification opinion -will per-
mit.
QUEBEC VOTES "(steT*1 •
of -Quebec (men ,,nly) voted
last. Thursday on a provincial prohibi-
tion law, and gave a majority of over
133,000 in favor of wine and beer
licenses. Tne license, however, will not
permit the sale of whiskey, and the
holder of a license must furnish scrne-
thing like hotel accommodation—at any
rate ,there must be seats for themes who
Patronize the drinking places. -
The result of the vote in Quebec is a
distinct diss.Ppcinstinent to .temperance
workers throughout the country, for not
only did the large towns and cities vote
for license, but many' municipalities -
which were under local option prohibi-
tion_ also _gave large majorities for
license. That does not mean that these
municipalities will now return to license,
bat it leaves the impression- that even
in these there has sheen a change of
sentiment.
The temperance workers say that thes
vote is not a fair indication of temper-
ance opinion in Quebec. They- claim
that race and religious prejudice was
appealed to; that the ignorant French
voter was told that the temperance
campaign was engineered by Orange-
men and Methodists, with a view to de-
priving the Roman Catholic of even the
wine for sacrament. They were told,
too, that should this temperance meas-
ure carry, the next step would be to
prohibit the use of tobacco.
This line of campaign, no doubt,
played an important part in the result.

THE INCOME TAX AND
THOSE WHO WILL PAY
---- - --
All citizens who el joy incomes big
enough to come within the limit e of
Federal taxation are required to fill out
s. s • .
tne iorms .setting forth the source -of
such income and‘" exemptions to which
they are entitled. These forms may be
obtained at the Post Ofti SAS
Married men must pay a percentage
of their net- income over $2,000 into the
Federal treasury, and single men in re
ceipt.of ever 81,000 are likewise assess
able. The percentage varies with the
siz of the income. If, however, a suf-
ficient portion of the income is derived,
from sources in the category of .exeme
time to bring the total below the mini-
mum amounts stated, no tax is collected.
It is only on the amount of income
over anti above the minimum amount
with the dOrther deduction of exeinu-
ticn, that the tax is collected. If a
married man, for instance, has an in-
come of $2800 and is entitled to ex-
eniption oo,1100, and further deduction
of ,eir...emptions ,reduce , this,. anvnuit sts9._
$2,500; he would pay two per cent on
'$500. In ' the case ut the single wan
with an incon e of $1,500 and entitled
to exemption of $100 he would pay two
per cent on $400 If the married man's
taxable income were in excess of $3,000.
he would pay four per cent, and if it
exceeded $6,000 a super tax of two per
cent on the amount in excess of $6,000,
in addition to thefour per cent.
The Single man with a taxable income
of over $1,500 would pay four per cent
on' the amount exceeding1,500 and
.. 1
!Ise ss s's esess..tss-__sss _tsl.s.r..-s- seiesssis --tssess-s.
if his income is high enough. The per-
centage of super tax increases to five be-
tween $6,000 and $L0,000 and gradually
goes up until fifty per cent of all exceeA--
ing $1,000,000. There is, in addition; a
surtax of five per cent of the normal tax
and supertax on incomes in excess of
$6,000, and not exceeding $10,000, in-
creasing to ten per cent between $10,000
and $100,000.
The big mejority of citizens, however,
will not be troubled about the details
beyond the $10,000 total, and again the
majority of these will stop between
$3,000 and $4,000 . ,
Take the case of a married man with
a family of three children and an in-
come of $3,500. If he owns his own
house he gets an exemption for taxes or
insurance but he is allowed $200 for his
three children. Dube has, say a'reyenue
of $50 from Victory Bonds, that also is
exempt.- If he' has contributed $50 to
the Red Cross or Patriotic Fund this
also comes within the exempt'on clause.
This gives him a total exemption of
$700 which, deducted from the amount
of the total -income over $2,0004-1;500
—leaves him with $800 on Whwb he
must pay a tax.
Then again: Suppose a married man
has an income of $5,000. Of this per-
haps $800 is derived from rent of two
lenses owned He entitlerk
to exemption of the amount paid out in
taxes And insurance on these two houses,
and if there are mortgages he is also en-
titled to exemption en the interest of
the niortgagee. These three items make
up, perhaps, $6u0 The amount on
which he must pay income taxi is there-
fore reduced to $2,400. If $400 mire
of the income is derived from stocks
held in a company he is alma entitled to
exemption on that, as the tax on stocks
is paid by the company. This reduces
e it mount $2,000. If he has a
child the amount again drops by $200,
leaving $1,800.
The minimum amount free of tax in
the case -of a single man is $1,000 in-
stead of $2,000 as in the case of a mar-
ried.man. On the event that he has an
income of $1,500, and $600 of that is
dividends on stocks oa which the comps
any pays the tax he, of course, is re-
quired to pay nothing. If his income
i2,500, and $100 is income on Victory
Bonds, $200 goes to pay taxes on a
home he is maintaining, and $100 has
been ccntributed to war and patriotic
funds, he has $100 exemption and pays
on $1,100. The amount which he pays
as tax is two per cent.' If the income
over and above exemption had been
$1,300 he would have had to pay four
per cent on the emeunt.
In the case of a single man who has
n income of $2,000 as salary and who
iwns no home, has no Victory Bonds,
)ays rio taxes and has contributed with -
ng to any of the war or patriotic funds,
re Pass on $1,000 straight. If he b• -s

THE symptoms of hog choler:
differ somewhat according
to the virulence of . the
virus and the resisting pow-
er of the hogs in any particular out -
'break. Owing' to this variation, two
forms of the disease are recognized -,--
the so-called acute form 'and the
chronic forms. •
tri the acute or severe- form, the
hogs sicken and die quickly, appear-
ing to be well one day and frequently
*
'dead the next. In the chronic or less
severe form, the hogs may be sick
for weeks before they die or ,get
better.
- • When --cholera ,senters'a-terd„ 'the •
hogs do not all become. sick at Ont!E!.
. One or two fail to cenne for their
feed and will be Towld lying down in
some dark corner, On being raised
up their backs will bearched,- and ,
they will shiver as with' cold. ' They
soon become thin and tucked up in
the flank 'and stagger around when
trying to walk, 'the hind legs being
particularly weak. The eyes become
inflamed and show a whitish dis-
charge, sometimes causing -the lids to
stick together. When the lungs get .
affected there is a cough. ConstiPa-
tion is noticed at first, followed by
diarrhoea; red and purple blotches

_perature of the sick hogs will rise to
as high as 1,07 degrees F. or even.
higher, the normal temperature of,
healthy animals being le1 -lo-1.0-4. de-
grees F.
Methods of Spreading.
So far as known, the virtit; 'of hog
cholera will not propagate outside
the body of the hog. As alreasly stat-
ed, the .virus is given off_ in large
quantities in the urine and faecal
.discharges of sick hogs. Anything
that gets contaminated with these
discharges is liable to spread the dis-
ease to healthy hogs that come in
contact with it. Consequently, boxes,
wagons, and cars in which sick ani-
mals are shipped, are potent sources
for spreading the disease. The pens
and yards in which sick. animals have
run get heavily contaminated, so :hat
anyone walking over the same get
their shoes and clothes contaminated,
and may carry the disease to other
herds subsequently visited.
Prevention and Treatment.
From what has been said above re-
garding the way the disease ie
spread, it will at once be seen that
one way'tokeep the disease. from a
healthy herd is to take all steps , ne-
cessary to prevent materiali-iiintam-
inated by sick hogs _from coming in
contact with the healthy herd. .
In Canada (by order of the Veter-
inary Director-Generall—lf by any
chance the disease gains entrance to
a herd anywhere in Canada, the laws
of the Dominion require that a veter-
inary inspector be notified without
delay. Failure to make this notifica-
tion means loss of conipensatton for
animals slangniered tinder the -act,
and liability to a heavy fine.—Prof.

Minister's Close Call
ltev.A.C. Wishart, one time presby-

bad a close call in an ant-, accident on
March 15th. 'He was driving his car,
accompaiVd by two ladies. In going
through tile subway on 1st Street west
the automobile skidded and bumped
into a street car. The reverend gentle
man was thrown 15 feet against the

shake-up that used him up for a time.

internal injuries were feared for awhile.

perhaps he needs more meat and butter
—so that the prosperity of the producers

middle class rather than of the rich.

ent for food, clothing and 'building mat-

of extending credit- to the Earopesn
countries is going to have the effect of
maintaining foodstuffs at a high level
of prices here. Without the credits the
people of Europe could not buy, our
markets would soon become glutted and
prices would decline. As it is there is
unlimited effective demand and instead
of the expected decline, prices are even
advancing.
This condition of things will, on the,

1 -Are you in favor of the repeal of

2 - -Are you in favor of the sale sf

2 51-100 alcohol- weight merisure,through

3 -Are you in favor -of the sale of
light beer containing not more 'thin
2 51-100 per cent. alcohol weight meas-
ure in standard hotels in local munici-
palities that by a majority vote favor
such sale and amendments to the Ont-
ario Temperance Act to permit such
sale!
4 -Are you in favor of the sale of
spirituous ,and malt liquors throurzh
Government agencies and amendments
to the Orairio Temperance Act 'to per-
mit such sale!.
• These are the .iue'tiors to which the
people of Ontario will be asked to give
an answer by vote next fall
The ballot is somewhat complicated,
bit if voted upon intelligently it will
have the advantage of giving the gov-
ernment exact information as to temp-
anc, 'itntuttelTh-eltorrime-. --
There is, however, danger of a great
deal of confUsien, and we may look for-
ward to an active and vigorotis cam -
Deign both for and against the regula-
tions proposed.
Strong temperance advocates will vote
"no' upon all the questions submitted.
nesse words "light beer, containing
not inure thin 2 and 51-100 per cent
alcohol weight measure" used in the
second and third questions, is rather
misleading. The casual .reader takes
for granted that this means the ordinary
light, local option beer. But such is not,
the case. Beer containing s! si 100 per
cent alcohol 'is a very ditterentsartiele
from beer containing 2i per cent proof
spirits, which may be sold under local
option. We understand that it is prac-
tically the ordinary lager beer --a
lighter but not much.
If it is, question No. 3 proposes the
reopening of bar rooms for the sale of
beer in standard hotels. It is around
this question that the fight will rage.
It will be noticed that it is nowhere
proposed to open bars to the sale of
whiskies, exceptibg so jai- -an that is
proposed in .the first guerillas:a._ The
liquor interests' .will not expect a vote
favoring repeal of the Oatario Temper-
ance Act, so they look forward to such
-Modification opinion -will per-
mit.
QUEBEC VOTES "(steT*1 •
of -Quebec (men ,,nly) voted
last. Thursday on a provincial prohibi-
tion law, and gave a majority of over
133,000 in favor of wine and beer
licenses. Tne license, however, will not
permit the sale of whiskey, and the
holder of a license must furnish scrne-
thing like hotel accommodation—at any
rate ,there must be seats for themes who
Patronize the drinking places. -
The result of the vote in Quebec is a
distinct diss.Ppcinstinent to .temperance
workers throughout the country, for not
only did the large towns and cities vote
for license, but many' municipalities -
which were under local option prohibi-
tion_ also _gave large majorities for
license. That does not mean that these
municipalities will now return to license,
bat it leaves the impression- that even
in these there has sheen a change of
sentiment.
The temperance workers say that thes
vote is not a fair indication of temper-
ance opinion in Quebec. They- claim
that race and religious prejudice was
appealed to; that the ignorant French
voter was told that the temperance
campaign was engineered by Orange-
men and Methodists, with a view to de-
priving the Roman Catholic of even the
wine for sacrament. They were told,
too, that should this temperance meas-
ure carry, the next step would be to
prohibit the use of tobacco.
This line of campaign, no doubt,
played an important part in the result.

THE INCOME TAX AND
THOSE WHO WILL PAY
---- - --
All citizens who el joy incomes big
enough to come within the limit e of
Federal taxation are required to fill out
s. s • .
tne iorms .setting forth the source -of
such income and‘" exemptions to which
they are entitled. These forms may be
obtained at the Post Ofti SAS
Married men must pay a percentage
of their net- income over $2,000 into the
Federal treasury, and single men in re
ceipt.of ever 81,000 are likewise assess
able. The percentage varies with the
siz of the income. If, however, a suf-
ficient portion of the income is derived,
from sources in the category of .exeme
time to bring the total below the mini-
mum amounts stated, no tax is collected.
It is only on the amount of income
over anti above the minimum amount
with the dOrther deduction of exeinu-
ticn, that the tax is collected. If a
married man, for instance, has an in-
come of $2800 and is entitled to ex-
eniption oo,1100, and further deduction
of ,eir...emptions ,reduce , this,. anvnuit sts9._
$2,500; he would pay two per cent on
'$500. In ' the case ut the single wan
with an incon e of $1,500 and entitled
to exemption of $100 he would pay two
per cent on $400 If the married man's
taxable income were in excess of $3,000.
he would pay four per cent, and if it
exceeded $6,000 a super tax of two per
cent on the amount in excess of $6,000,
in addition to thefour per cent.
The Single man with a taxable income
of over $1,500 would pay four per cent
on' the amount exceeding1,500 and
.. 1
!Ise ss s's esess..tss-__sss _tsl.s.r..-s- seiesssis --tssess-s.
if his income is high enough. The per-
centage of super tax increases to five be-
tween $6,000 and $L0,000 and gradually
goes up until fifty per cent of all exceeA--
ing $1,000,000. There is, in addition; a
surtax of five per cent of the normal tax
and supertax on incomes in excess of
$6,000, and not exceeding $10,000, in-
creasing to ten per cent between $10,000
and $100,000.
The big mejority of citizens, however,
will not be troubled about the details
beyond the $10,000 total, and again the
majority of these will stop between
$3,000 and $4,000 . ,
Take the case of a married man with
a family of three children and an in-
come of $3,500. If he owns his own
house he gets an exemption for taxes or
insurance but he is allowed $200 for his
three children. Dube has, say a'reyenue
of $50 from Victory Bonds, that also is
exempt.- If he' has contributed $50 to
the Red Cross or Patriotic Fund this
also comes within the exempt'on clause.
This gives him a total exemption of
$700 which, deducted from the amount
of the total -income over $2,0004-1;500
—leaves him with $800 on Whwb he
must pay a tax.
Then again: Suppose a married man
has an income of $5,000. Of this per-
haps $800 is derived from rent of two
lenses owned He entitlerk
to exemption of the amount paid out in
taxes And insurance on these two houses,
and if there are mortgages he is also en-
titled to exemption en the interest of
the niortgagee. These three items make
up, perhaps, $6u0 The amount on
which he must pay income taxi is there-
fore reduced to $2,400. If $400 mire
of the income is derived from stocks
held in a company he is alma entitled to
exemption on that, as the tax on stocks
is paid by the company. This reduces
e it mount $2,000. If he has a
child the amount again drops by $200,
leaving $1,800.
The minimum amount free of tax in
the case -of a single man is $1,000 in-
stead of $2,000 as in the case of a mar-
ried.man. On the event that he has an
income of $1,500, and $600 of that is
dividends on stocks oa which the comps
any pays the tax he, of course, is re-
quired to pay nothing. If his income
i2,500, and $100 is income on Victory
Bonds, $200 goes to pay taxes on a
home he is maintaining, and $100 has
been ccntributed to war and patriotic
funds, he has $100 exemption and pays
on $1,100. The amount which he pays
as tax is two per cent.' If the income
over and above exemption had been
$1,300 he would have had to pay four
per cent on the emeunt.
In the case of a single man who has
n income of $2,000 as salary and who
iwns no home, has no Victory Bonds,
)ays rio taxes and has contributed with -
ng to any of the war or patriotic funds,
re Pass on $1,000 straight. If he b• -s

THE symptoms of hog choler:
differ somewhat according
to the virulence of . the
virus and the resisting pow-
er of the hogs in any particular out -
'break. Owing' to this variation, two
forms of the disease are recognized -,--
the so-called acute form 'and the
chronic forms. •
tri the acute or severe- form, the
hogs sicken and die quickly, appear-
ing to be well one day and frequently
*
'dead the next. In the chronic or less
severe form, the hogs may be sick
for weeks before they die or ,get
better.
- • When --cholera ,senters'a-terd„ 'the •
hogs do not all become. sick at Ont!E!.
. One or two fail to cenne for their
feed and will be Towld lying down in
some dark corner, On being raised
up their backs will bearched,- and ,
they will shiver as with' cold. ' They
soon become thin and tucked up in
the flank 'and stagger around when
trying to walk, 'the hind legs being
particularly weak. The eyes become
inflamed and show a whitish dis-
charge, sometimes causing -the lids to
stick together. When the lungs get .
affected there is a cough. ConstiPa-
tion is noticed at first, followed by
diarrhoea; red and purple blotches

inner surfaces of the legs. The Nffi-
_perature of the sick hogs will rise to
as high as 1,07 degrees F. or even.
higher, the normal temperature of,
healthy animals being le1 -lo-1.0-4. de-
grees F.
Methods of Spreading.
So far as known, the virtit; 'of hog
cholera will not propagate outside
the body of the hog. As alreasly stat-
ed, the .virus is given off_ in large
quantities in the urine and faecal
.discharges of sick hogs. Anything
that gets contaminated with these
discharges is liable to spread the dis-
ease to healthy hogs that come in
contact with it. Consequently, boxes,
wagons, and cars in which sick ani-
mals are shipped, are potent sources
for spreading the disease. The pens
and yards in which sick. animals have
run get heavily contaminated, so :hat
anyone walking over the same get
their shoes and clothes contaminated,
and may carry the disease to other
herds subsequently visited.
Prevention and Treatment.
From what has been said above re-
garding the way the disease ie
spread, it will at once be seen that
one way'tokeep the disease. from a
healthy herd is to take all steps , ne-
cessary to prevent materiali-iiintam-
inated by sick hogs _from coming in
contact with the healthy herd. .
In Canada (by order of the Veter-
inary Director-Generall—lf by any
chance the disease gains entrance to
a herd anywhere in Canada, the laws
of the Dominion require that a veter-
inary inspector be notified without
delay. Failure to make this notifica-
tion means loss of conipensatton for
animals slangniered tinder the -act,
and liability to a heavy fine.—Prof.
