In Canada the enterprise of the railways has broken up the country into farms. In Australia there are ranches many thousands of square -miles in extent, and the exports of wheat tell the story of the failure of the Australian railways to stimulate general farming activities. LITTLE WORRIES .14: 800: 10As Made in Canada. GOVERNMENT CON- TROL ROL OF RAILWAYS INTERESTING STATISTICS OF VARIOUS COUNTRIES. ;o., Comparing Freight Rates ` and Wages Paid on Government Owned and Private Owned Roads. W. M. Acworth, the British repre- sentative on the International Board of Inquiry into the Canadian railway situation, in speaking of the English railways said recently: '"Now, I. am no foe of government railways. On the contrary, I believe that in countries with a population less self-reliant than our own, such a policy is necessary. In a country with a bureaucracy as well-trained and as well -organized as that of Prus- sia, it may even .be desirable. But a careful study of the evidence has con- vinced ,me that in: the long run state. control ends in keeping down the best to the level of the worst, and that taking them all for all, the private railway companies of. England and the United States have served the public better -than the `government railways of the continent, or of our Australian 'colonies, and are likely to serve itbetter in the future." The employees in 1913 on the railos ways of • Germany numbered '786,466 and• were paid on the average ,1..•$408.97 per year, thirty-eight per cent. of the gross earnings. .In Ger- man, all classes of freight considered, one and. ,a third 'cents, or 13 mills, were collected for each ton of goods moved one mile. In Canada during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915—the figure are used, because they were those compil- ed from official records by the Bureau of Railway News and Statistics, Chi- cago—the employees numbered 124,- 142 who received on the average $72-7 per year, more than forty-five per cent. of the gross earnings. Yet in Canada the railways collected only 7.51 mills, or about three-quarters of a cent for each ton of freight moved one mile. The rate charged in the United' States for' similar service in 1915 was 7.380 mills, or about 1-8 of a mill less per ton than in Canada. Conditions in Australia. In Australasia, where are estab- lished the only democracies constitu--, helmet that has proved so useful in tionally comparable with Canada, the preventing head wounds. The writer railway situation is exceedingly cern- says that nearly seventy-five per plicated and the conditions—revenues cent of the wounds receiyed in trench warfare are caused by missiles of low velocity such as would-be stopped by comparatively thin armor. Further more,; missiles that have a velocity; so low that it allows theem to lodge in the body are' more dangerous than° swift projectiles that pass through the body, because' everyi'bullet or bit of shell is likely to be'infected. The -form of body armor that the writer proposes, consists of a steel cuirass to cover the thorax and upper abdomen, and so to protect the most vital organs; a gor- get of chain mail'. to protect the neck, and a girdle or kilt of the sante ma- terial for the loins and groin; a mask for the face, and protective pieces for the shoulders, the elbows and the knees, How far such armor Would interfere with the free movements of the soldier is a matter yet -to be deter- mined, but it would certainly furnish protection. A soldier of a average height, as he faces the enemy inopen field, p eesents a target' that has an area of twenty-seven hundred and forty square centimetres. Of that target the head and neck make up nine per cent,, the thorax and abdomen twenty-eight per cent., and thb less Vital parts—the arms and le -make I legs --make sixty-three per cent. Even if only the more vital parts could be protect- ed there would be a great saving of life. IN TIIE HOME These Bring the Wrinkles and Pallid Faces That Make Women Look Prematurely Old. - Almost. every woman at the head of a home meets daily many little worries in her household affairs. The care of ' her little ones, the work about the house all contribute to these worries. Most -of them may be too small to notice an hour" after- .wards,•but they constitute a constant strain that affects the blood and the nerves and make women look prema- turely old. The effect of these little worries may be noticed in sick or ner- vous headaches, fickle appetite, tired -- nese after slight exertion, and the coming of wrinkles which every wo- man dreads. , To those thus afflicted. Dr. Williams'• Pink Pills offer a speedy cure; a restoration of, color to the cheeks, brightness to the eye, a hearty appetite and a sense of freedom from weariness. Among the many thou- sands of Canadian women who have found new health and strength through these pills is Mrs. G. Strasser, Acton, West, - Ont., who says;—"I am the mother of three children and after each birth I became terribly run down, Ir had weak, thin blood, always felt tired, and unable to do my household ,eyork. After the birth of my third. child I seemed to be worse, and was very badly run down. I found the greatest benefit from the 'Pills and soon gained my old time strength. Indeed after taking them I felt as well as in my girlhood, and could take pleasure in my work. I also used Baby's Own Tablets for my little ones and have found them a splendid medi- cine for childhood "ailments."
