iles Cured
By Dr. Chase's Ointment
IT is a surprise to many to learn that there is any
cure for piles short of a surgical operation. The
doctors have encouraged this idea until the sufferer
from this annoying ailment lives in constant dread of
the surgeon's knife.
This letter from Mr. Campbell carries a message of
good cheer to all sufferers from piles, because it tells
how relief and cure can be obtained
in the quiet of your own home by
the use of Dr. Chase's Ointment.
Mr. Donald M. Campbell, Campbell's Monne

taln, NS., writes: 1 have used Dr. Chase's
Ointment with great success tor hemorrhoids,

Ing all kinds of so-called pile cures, three
boxes of Dr. Chase's Ointment gave me a com-
plete cure. I have also used Dr.
Chase's Kidney-LIver Pills, and there
are no others iso good You may use
this letter, 11 you wish, for the benefit
of others who may suffer as 1 did."

The total enlistment since has begin

What Canada needs above every
thing else 1s more farmers, for our
consuming population is too large for
our producing population. It would,
of course, lie close to Caplan it
every one of our returning soldiers
could be transplanted at once to our
vacant land areas and enrolled on Ih•
producing side of our population. But
it would- be folly to expect that any
large number of men who enlisted
from the professions, the trades and
the clerical positions, would be able
to make good on farms or will have
any desire to go onto the land. They
lack the knowledge. Their tempera
.tent and modes of life have been
quite different from those of the sue
ceasful farmer.
A recent survey of labor conditions
In Canada, which deals with present
conditions and the prospects for after-
the-war
fterthe-war conditions indicates a pos.
Bible demand for about 200.000 more
men after the war. It is quite res
seeable to suppose that 7096 of the
returning muddier,' will require em-
ployment_ It 1s estimated there are
200,000 munition workers now em-
ployed In Canada, and that only este-
fourth of this number will be retain-
ed in this and similar kinds of em-
ployment after the war. Thus we
and that Canada will be called upon
to find employment for a large num
ber of her returned soldiers and for
the larger number of the present
munition workers and that she will
have to provide the machinery to
properly distribute and care for this
large number seeking employment at
the close of the war. if we are to
maintain our prosperity and prevent
serious reogestion of unemployed in
the cities and towns.
A ,Jnajority of the returning soldiers
will Inevitably gravitate to the cities
ass commercial centres. Even the
Civil War soldiers flocked to te
cities. and It was not until several
months after the mustering out be
gar that the men were absorbed in
any great numbers onto the farms.
it Is quite evident from thls`that it
will he neresaary to put forth every
effort to develop and ire—reale all
branches of our industrial 111, t'° sere
for this flood of labor that will be
surns to flock to the cities and towns.
After the surrender of Ler, the
Union Artny was demobilized at the
rate of 300,005 per month. The larg-
est return of soldiers was made dur
ing for three months of May. lune
and July, 1555, when close to 700.001)
were returned to their homes. There
was for a tikes a general rejoicing
and celebration to welcome the "Rol''
fn Blue"; then came the stern readily
that these men must be provided with
means of eareing their living. Em-
ployment assenrles for the returning
soldiers were opened is every city
and town. Many were reeelved bark
to their old pnsltions. Perms that
remained idle or only partially work
ed durtng the war were put under
work, providing employment for thou-
sands of returned soldiers. Rut Maas
made for the Radler' were mostly
oral. In some places it was impos-
sible to rare for men properly. In
ether sections there wet a need for
more. The country was in a slMees
condition anaaetally, a situation
which the ,t**e.mes 'meed to think
demaaded more careful attention
than that of making plana for tie
care ef rmturetag soldiers.
Taklag it tar granted that It will
