Manager TRURSPAY, API 1,4111x11, 1010 Another Falsehood In view of recent happenings it has to be admitted that the charge so often mode by Liberal newts - papers to the effect that the On- tario Government was allied to tate liquor interests and a servile tool thereof, was as false as a great many other statements emanating frota the Opposition, Makes a Difference That was a horrible thing for Villa to do—March into New Mex- ico and kill eight people, who had done no more against Villa than Belgians had done in Germany. A. million Germans marched through Belgium and slew tens of thous ands Belgians, male and female, acid the United States made no ptotest although a party to, the agreement that Belgium's neutral- ity should be respected, Germany afterwards assassinated many Am- ericans on the high seas and got a "lawyer's letter" from the Secre- tary of State. But the United States will punish Villa. • The val- ue of American lives depends upon the size of the men who take them. Villa is not big enough to do it with impunity.

EDGAR PATTISON T. R. BENNETT A Wide -Open Commission The instructions given to the royal commission presided over by Sir Charles Davidson are definitely set forth is these terms: "Concerning the purchase by and on behalf of the Govern - went of Canada, through what- ever agency the purchase may have been affected, of arms and rnunitions, implements, materi- als, horses, supplies and other things for the purposes of the present war, and as to the ex- penditures and payments made • or agreed to be made therefore." TMs commission was organized by the Government of Sir Robert Borden at the instance of the Gov- ernment itself. As will be seen, its scope with relation to all mat- ers pertaining to war purchases and expendituresis unlimited. Sir Robert will not stand for grafting in his patty and if Sir Sam Hughes is proven guilty by his royal Com- mission he will, we believe and trait, throw him out of his party just as he did two others last year.

IttioDotoun, Teacher, Louis Itaeniaekers, the famous Dntoh Oartooniet, has generously drawn, for the National Committee for Relief in: Belgium one of the most re- markable and certainly the most heart-rending of all the " War Post. ere The misery of the millions now In Belgium whom the Germane refuse to feed has inspired this notable ar ist to his finest effort, A Belgian woman, with a ragged red cloak over her shoulders, Is holding tightly to her breast an infant in a shawl, Around the, child is clasped the mother's hand -a band which spells starvation. In the mother's face there is the infinite sorrow of motherhood, driven to de. space by German inhumanity, and the pitiful, helpless yearning to relieve the child's suffering. But it is in the face of the child that Raemaekere has told the full horror of the tragedy of Belgium. The staring terror in the eyes that look up at the mother makes one shudder and turn away to think what might have been in England. With remorseless real- ism Raemaekere, in this infant of pain, has visualised to the World the. infamy of Germany. The poster, which is artistically re- produced, has this laconic heading: "In Belgium," Underneath, appears the one word 't help." Any reader of this newspaper can secure a copy of the poster free of cost by sending a postcard to the Hon. Secretary. Na- tional Committee for Relief, in Bel- gium, Trafalgar Buildings, Trafalgar Square, London, and one may be seen in THE ADVANCE Window.

The Testing of Dairy Products The price of success is attention to detail, This fact is distinctly empha- sized in a bulletin recently issued by the Dairy and Cold Storage Branch of the Federal Department df Agricul- ture under the title of " The Testing of Milk, Cream and Dairy By -Pro- ducts by Meana of the Babcock Test " and written by J. F. Singleton, Chief Inspector of Dairy Products. With out being •profuse Mr. Singleton tells in plain language about all that is to be told of the practical application of the test, the care that should be taken of the component parte of the appor- atite, the measurements advisable and the methods that should be employed. The qualities most naturally empha- sized are exactness, cleanliness and tempi rzture. The Dairy Commission- er in bis introductory says there is nothing fundamentally new in the bulletin but that the contents are pre- sented with such a clearness of diction and the processes so aptly set forth that the result is a reliable handbook for those who value information on the testing of milk, cream and so on. A number of exact and plain illustra- tions lend additional worth to a nota- ble bulletin, the number of which is 45 of the Dairy and Oold Storage Series and that can be had by post.free appli- cation tat the Publications Branch, De partment of Agriculture, Ottawa. _ st lRWA.R - For information that will lead to the discovery or whereabouts of the person or persons 'suffering from Nervous Debility, Diseases of the Mouth and Throat, Blood Poison, 'Skin Diseases, Bladder Troubles, Special Ailments, and Chronic or Complicated Complaints who can- not be cured at The Ontario Medi- cal Institute, 263-265nYonge St., Toronto; Correspondence invited. I3iuevtlle (Crowded ouA last week) The last meeting of the Literary Society on March 31st took the form of a -smoker. But this was due more to a dofeetive stoyepipe than a prefer• epee by the members for that form of entertainment. However, the pre- yelance of smoke could not altogether Cloud the pleasure of the audience in the excellence of some of the numbers provided, Owing to bad weather con• ditions and other reasons none of the speakers it bad been hoped to have present could appear so a miscellane- ous program was given including splen- did solos by Mee Agues Aitchison, who sang "A Little Bit of /leaven", and Mr. 1'.

" Why should you charge $1.50 for a small weekly newspaper when we can get a large daily for $2 00?" was asked of us the other day, The large evening daily is sold at a lose. at $2.00, and the large morning daily is sold at a Iose at $8,00. It is sold at a lose to gain subscribers. The more subecrib- ers a daily has the more advertising it can get and the larger rate for adver- tieing. The • advertiser thus, has to pay for the difference between what you pay for the paper and what it really costs, and then he divides it among hie customers. YOu pay for, it in the long run. The local paper has no such large advertising patronage. It is smaller now than it was.

The dead leaves of last season and the dead twigs and branches on the ground are more brittle and dry in the first few days of spring, just after the snow leaves, than at any other time in the year. Those who go into the woods for any purpose are, therefore. cautioned to be careful with their camp tires and matches. They should also see that any cigar or cigarette stubs are dead out before they throw them away, Observance of these precautions will do more for conserva- tion than many meetings and conven- tions ten years from now and this duty is urged on all patriotic citizons The fact that Canada is at war makes thie duty all the more important, C.
