ber who are converted and try to lead ,
them to Christ in some way, either
through cottage prayer meetings or
' business men's prayer meetings. Let
us present to every young person in our
community the gospel of Christ. 40 per
cent. of the population are non -professing
Christians. What is the successful tight
for the soul! By our own unselfish re-
flex action. If 10 per cent. of the mem-
bership of the church would go out and
each one seek one other evangelism
would soon be brought about.

Why does Canada Raise
Money by Selling
Bonds?
BONDS are issued payable in five, ten or twenty years as
the case may be.
It means that repayment of the money will be spread
over five, ten or twenty years instead of being raised by
taxation to meet current expenditujes.
To raise by taxation all the moiney as fast as it is needed
tocarry on Canada's share in winning -the war, would be an
unbearable burden upon the people.
It would mean that more than a million dollars a day
would have to be raised right now.
•
But to raise money by selling
Canada's Victory Bonds means that
tl,e of the next generation who will
benefit by the sacrifices this genera-
tion making,
- o will share in the freedom
this ge ration is fighting for and
largely paying for—will also ay t eir
share.
* *
And when ou buy Canada's Vic-
tory Bonds yo make a first-class
business investme t in a security that
is absolutely safe,likely to enhance
in value after the war, and bearing a
good rate of interest.
You help the country by keeping
open the British market for Canadian
products and this helps the general
welfare in which you share.
And 'again, every Canadian who
buys a Victory Bond becomes a finan-
cial partner or backer of Canada in
the war.
When you buy a Victory Bond
you give a personal pledge that you
are going to help to win the war.
Every man and woman in Canada
can help to win the war by buy-
ing Canada's Victory Bonds. And
Canada needs the personal, individ al
interest and co-operation o every
man and woman in the country.
The buying of Victory Bonds by
everybody will unite the whole people
in a determination to win the war.
Every purchase of Victory Bonds
is a blow for freedom against the
tyranny of German Kultur.
Every bond sold is a new guaran-
tee that Canada is in the war to the
Gish, until victory is with the Allies•
and the world has, been made safe to
live in.
Every bond you buy is a new
pledge that Canada will remain true
to herself, the Empire, the Allies and
to freedom's cause.
So it is both patriotic and good
business to
Buy Canada's Victory Bonds

The latest developments of this
subject and some up-to-date statistics
concerning transportation of disease
by Insects were presented by Dr. L.
O. Howard In lis recent address as
retiring pres'dent of the Washington
Academy of Sciences.
Standard works on medicine pub-
lished twenty years ago made aro
mention of Insects In connection with
the etiology of disease. Up to the
Present time. according to data com-
piled from recent literature, discov-
eries have been recorded of the car-
riage by insects to man or animals
of 22t different disease organisms;
87 organisms are known to be para-
sitic In Insects, but not known to oe
transmitted. and 232 species of te-
aeete ere recorded as causes or car-
riers of disease of man or animals.
Among recent discoveries is that
of the transportation by wind of the
body -louse, the carrier of typhus
fever. This 1■ a very important
point to consider in ssaitary meas -
area. The "Bulletin" of the Pasteur
Institute of Paris for December 15,
1114, contains reviews of no less
than seventeen papers on :he louse 1n
connection with disease; the writers
being Japanese. English, German,
Swiss French, and Italian.
Another novel subject is that of
tick paralysis. The disease occurs in
Australia, Afrlea, and North Ameri-
ca. A single physician in Oregon
has found thirteen cases. The at-
tachment of a tick brings about pro-
gressive paralysis, Involving motor
but not settlor) nerves. The disease
1. not infections, and opigeons are
divided as to whether there 1■ a spe-
cific causative organism, or wbetber
the condition is due to nerve shock.
Notwithstanding the great devel-
opment of this subject, Dr. Howard
declares that there 1s a dangerous
tendency to exaggerate the import-
ance of Insect transmission as com-
pared with other modes of infection.
He thinks bisect carriage must oe
ruled out in the case of Infantile
paralysis.—Scientific American.

Tells Tale of Torture.
A young llelgtan lady. the daugh-
ter of Wealthy parents. who for ever
three years has fluttered at the hands
of the Germans In Belgium, and who
succeeded in escapinr into Holland,
whence she journeyed to London, has
related her experiences to a repre-
sentative of the Central News.
The girl was arrested as a spy be-
cause she had written letters to her
sweetheart, who Is serving In the
army. and sent to prison for three i
months.
"I had to work from seven o'clock
in the morning unt.l nine o'clock
at night, and tolerate the moat
abusive Insults," stab said. "A very
large number of my friends were ar-
rested, including a young man. The
Germans did all in their power to
Induce him to speak, promising him
a free pardon if he would Implicate
others. The man resisted all their
persuasive methods, and then they
inflicted the most terrible torture.
Then be was tried and sentenced to
death. Belelane sentenced to death
have the right to appeal to the i
Kaiser, and this young man made the
appeal.
"We learned later that the reply
was: 'If he will speak bis life shall
be spared; 1t not, then be must die.'
The day before he was taken out to
die he was put in a cell decorated
with flowers and given the moot cost-
ly food to eat. Everything was done
by the Germans to persuade him to
speak at the last moment, even when
be was standing before the firing
party be was told It was not too late.
Although only a mere youth of 21
years, that brave fellow died for
Belgium without uttering a word
welch would give the enemy any in-
formation."
Clever Painleve.
As far as precocity is concerned,
Paul Painleve can compare his re-
cord to the Pascals, Newtons, and
d'Alembert'. He knew enough of
mathematics at the age of eleven and
a half to get his bachelor degree.
What he has done since is a matter
of knowledge and admiration, in
France and elsewhere. To quite a
remarkable degree the career of M.
Palnleve otters the combination of
academic learning and strenuous
public 'entre. There Iles his
strength. He 1a at one and the same
time a member of the Academy of
Science, a professor at the Sorbonne,
aad a member of the Clamber of De-
puties. Since the war began be has
been, in turn, Minister of Publle
ID4ueatloa, Under-secretary for In-
ventions, and Minister for War, aad
