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.

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

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. _

Spring Fires
Midwinter is the most dangerous
time in regard to fires in buildings bur
so far as our forests are concerned,
spring is ono of the worst periods.
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,
