Why Parliament Should Not Maintain Meitish Trade, '
A Canadtaa manufacturer called
the Canad Ian' Patriotic fund. hie
eater traveller last spring and
Boole people, when asked to contri-
trate to tbe Patriotic Fund, rept that
Piutiament should maintain the Fund:
''1t is the duty of Oanada to make
provision for the families of her sol-
ehers,'fifty lbey. "Why should not
the Government support and adminie•
ter ht. Fund i"
There are many good reasons why it
aioald nut. Here are a few :
Government must treat every soldier
alike. ll catmint make fish of one,
• t of another. It is now paying is
spear gtiou allowances Win a month to
the fancily of .ash enlisted man. but
one-third of the families receiving
tier,e separation allowances do not Gov-
ernment
• a cent from the Fund. If the ov-
ernmeut maiutained the Fund, this
third would have to be paid on the
cane scale a
as the two other thitds—
e um.ing an increase for 1917 estimated
a► 196,730,900.Government could not give families
the help. other than financial. they
now receive from thousands of volun-
teer workers, who visit them in sick -
mese and in brelth. share their trou-
hles. encourage them iu well -doing,
and make then. to feel that they ere
not frieudle,e nor alone. bp. A.0'- -
Government would raise the re-
quired money by floating • loan, thus
throwing on the future—and on tbe re-
turned soldiers --a burden the stay-at-
homee should bear. For such work ad
this we should pay as we go.
Government control would mean
double, and In some cased treble. taxa-
tion, Municipalities all over the Do-
minion are taxing themselves
s the
Fund. So are many Provinces. off
t
would not be fair to relax these bodies
while other districts were escaping
with only tbe Federal tax.
Governmental control would reduce
the amounts the rich now contribute
to the Fund, and place a heavier bur-
den on the shoukfers of the poorer
men. It would take from all, rich and
poor, the privilege of doing something
of their own free will. and, through
arts of self-sacrifice, assist in winning
the great etruggle. And it would, by
stifling the outpouring of public spirit
that has beep so 000sptcuoua, wort to
the distinct disadvantage of the com-
munity.

The traveller departed, and the
general results of his -experience an
be told in these words:
Wherever the traveller went the

aad there is the American sample.
Tot meet the American price and
Produce the American quality and
the orders are yours."
Thus one commercial traveller m-
ewed between 8500,000 and 4750,-
000 worth of business in Australia
and New Zealand last summer.
Every one of these orders was an
order transferred to a Canadian fac-
tory from a United States . factory.
Australia and New Zealand aro a
type and symbol of every British and
allied country after the war. The
people who have fought together will
want to buy from each other, rather
than purchase goods from enemy or
sentrai peoples. (:anadtan manufac-

be conquered by manufacturers who

WOMEN'S NERVES
Women, more than men, have excitable nerves, because
tiring work and physical strain tax their more delicate
nervous systems and bring premature age and chronic
weakness—unless treated intelligently.
Drug -laden pills and alcoholic concoctions cannot build up a
woman's strength, but the concentrated medicinal food properties in
