Well then, do you want vote with him for Laurier? * * * '•Sir Wilfrid Laurier stands for volun- tary service olun- t rtssiltce His in Quebec ekeu stand for voluntary service --of some other fellow." --The Globe, * * n: "The Liberals of Ontario who are against Union Government must make 13ourassa. the anti-British demagogue of Quebec, their bed-fellow."—The Globe. * * ,i: One Wingham Liberal when asked if he did not intend to vote for the Union Gov- ernment overnment this year answered, "I would not be British and vote the White Plume into power. But, Fin going back to the Lib- eral party when this war is over." A few of the Liberal papers, the few who would sooner lose the war than lose Sir Wilfrid, are now denouncing Hon. Frank Carvell, the man whom only a few weeks ago they lauded high. He fell from grace because he accepted a seat in the Union Win -the -War Cabinet. • * * Bitter Disappointment Upon the whole, the Laurier manifesto is a labored but unsatisfactory document. It will please the province of Quebec, and it is an alluring bid for the western vote, but for those who love Laurier and think the winning of the war In he the one great issue, it. is a heart -breaking disap- pointment.—Brantford Exliositor, Lib. * h Clings to Spoils System There is one important omission in Sir Wilfrid's manifesto. He is silent on the subject of civil service reform and the ab- olishingthe of h patronage age system To this great reform the Union Government is committed. Evidently Sit' Wilfrid is not ready to dispense with the spoils system; the Union Government is. In this int - portant matter the Union ministers prove themselves to be more statesmanlike than the Liberal leader.--I-Iamilton - Herald, Ind. La i ier's Policy Failure Union Government is the logical out- come of the situation. It is right in prin- ciple, right in theory, and, best of all, right in absolute fact, as the one beet way to meet' the very complex and delicate problems Miming in the wake of the perilous times through which we are pass` ing, Sir Wilfrid has failed to platform thatat discount the lines along which the Union- ist4 are now working --Guelph Mercury, Lib. ENTITLED TQ VOTE In Ontario those entitled to have their mines 011 the voters lists tjnci to vote in the Dominion general elections, 11)17, are as follows: 1. All those (except in the cities) whose names are on the Ontario voters' lists as revised in 1916. In cities a special and entirely new list will be pre- pared. 2 All women (except Indian women) who are the wives, widows, mothers, sis- ters and daughters of the Canadian forces overseas and naval forces in Canada or Britain, whether the said members of such forces have been at any time resident in Canada or not, 3. All electors or voters, male of fe- male, trust be twenty-one nears of age and British subjects by birth or naturali- zation, and according to the War -time Elections Act, 1017, section 32, the elec- tor is to reside for one year in the Prov- ince and have his residence and domicile in the electoral district for thirty days, both of said periods to be fixed by'refer- cuce to the date of election, 1917, 1. There are persons who are not ern - titled to vote. These are of alien enemy Wish or other European birth within en- emy jurisdiction, and of alien enemy another tongue or native language who have been naturalized in Canada since March 31st, 1902 In this class, however, persons who have sons, grandsons or broth- ers in the overseas forces or who can pro- duce certificates of service or application to enlist are entitled to vote. 5. The sons of these men who have been naturalized since 1902 who were not of age when their fathers were natur- alized are not disqualified. Neither are the sons born in Canada whether the fathers were naturalized or not.

A quarter of an ounce costs very little at nny drug store, but this •is said to be sufficient to rid one's Leet of every hard or 'soft corn or callus. You apply just a few drops on the ten- der, aching corn or toughened callus and instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the corn or callus is so shrivelled that it lifts out without pain. It is a sticky sub- stance which dries when applied and nev- er inflames or even irritates the surround- ing skin. This discovery will prevent thousands of death annually from lockjaw and in- tection heretofore resulting from the sui- cidal habit of cutting corns, Whitechurch Miss Edith Campbell of Toronto, visit ed friends here last week.

Many Deeds of Tieroistn Are Prrf.:rtn- ed by Canadians racing Artillery Lire, IN the present phase of warfare on the western front, when trench lines have practically disappeare'l and advanced posts have taken their place, the German artillery does not attempt t l e old frontline barrages, that marl•, life In the trenches, ; o uncomfortable. It is that section immediately behlad these new posts that cornea in for the constant attention of the enemy, and It is in this area that the Can- adian railway troops have been win- ning great praise from all sortions of tho army. In this devastated country, 'where a pile of broken bricks, overgrown with weeds, and a sign with a map Location designate a former village, where roads have altogether disap- peared and even cross-country trails melt in a single night, the Canadian railway men construct and maintain their lines. They are shelled by the Germans, if anything, more persist- ently and in greater volume than the infantry, yet night and day tons of ammunition Wand rations and men go forward over repaired lines, feeding guns and men alike, The experi- ences of the railway troops are not lacking in excitement. A colonel of Peace River fame, and his battalion from Alberta, have one of these areas to look after. In a district which can be compared in size with Hamilton and Dundas they have constructed nearly one hundred and fifty miles of light railway. It has been planned so that if one lino is suddenly destroyed by. shells, traf- fic can he sent around another way. The men and guns ahead never want for anything. They are not supposed to be operating troops, but when the hot times come they are always found running trains and loading cars, in addition to doing their own jobs. They are the 'trouble -hunters' of the first lines of communication. During one of the recent attacks Sergt. Oscar Samson, of Alberta, was seriously wounded in the arm, Instead of trecking for medical as- sistauee back in the rear he at- tempted to 'carry on' at his job of mending lines destroyed by the Ger- man shells, so that Mere ammuni- tion could be rushed up. Finally his arm got so painful he decided to go forward, on the track That had been mended, to an advanced dress- ing station he knew of. His wound had been fixed by a comrade, and hie arta was tied up in an imr2'ovised sling. Samson climbed on t, tractor which was hauling a trainload of gun ammunition. When they got to a junction near the front Iine, both guard and driver were wounded by splinters from a high explosive shell. The little train had made the crest of the grade and was gathering momen- tum every second with the driver of the tractor hanging limp and uncon- scious from his seat. Samson pulled him up' to a place of safety and shut off the engine, but the heavy train had too much headway to be stopped, and in addition tho brake gear had been blown away by another shell. Climbing back to try and set the brakes on the ears Samson came across the wounded guard. He had been knocked off the top of the truck, and his foot catching in the framework of the car ire was being dragged along with his head and shoulders bumping on the ballast. Th Canadian sergeant released his foot, but failed in his attempt to gather him up into the rapidly mov- ing car. About one hundred yards ahead was another ammunition train, its cargo of high explosive si,iells being unloaded at a battery position. By good luck and a know- ledge of braking learned on the grades in the Rockies, Samson man- aged to slow down his train just as it reached the standing trucks, and a serious collision and explosion was avoided. Then, although the shell fire was extremely heavy, the sergeant went back and rescued the wounded guard. Samson won the Military Medal for this splendid ex- hibition of pluck. Who Will Lead Drafts? Who will command the drafts raised under the terms of the Mili- tary Service Act of 1917 ? Of com- pany commanders and senior officers there is no dearth in Canada and England to -day, but subalterns are said to be decidedly scarce. The original recommendation was that subalterns who had served a year or more overseas be allowed to come home to take appointments in the drafts secured when conscription was enforced. This recommendation has not received the sanction of Ot- tawa and it is even stated that Gen- eral Sir Arthur Currin found it im- possible to sanetion the release of any junior officers now with the Can- adian forces in France. Three Hundred Each Year, G. W. Stark, writing in the Out- look, finds that the Great 'Lakes are peculiarly rich in records of ship- wreck. He says: "It is interesting to note that no similar area of any ocean, if sudden- ly stripped of its volume of water, would expose to human gaze a larger number of sunken ships or more valuable cargoes than lie at the bot- tom of these inland Waters. A re- cord kept between the .years 1878 and 1898 reveals the startling fact that in that period 5,990 ships were wrecked on the Great Lakes, and 1,098 of these were total losses, The loss of cargo during the score 'el itesara was nearly $8,000,000, Blyth Special union evangelistic services are being conducted ftt the Methodist church this week.
