NERVOUS DISEASES j
iN THE SPRING.
Cored by Toningthe Blood
an Strengthening the
Nerves.
It is the opinion of the best medical
p authorities, after long observation, that
It nervous diseases are more common and
more carious in the spring than at any
other time of the year. Vital changes
in the system, after long winter months,
may cause mut:h more trouble than the
familiar spring weakness and wearine e
from which most people suffer as : e
result of indoor life, in poorly ven fated
end often overheated b !"dings,
Ofiieial records prove that in pril and
May neuralgia, St. Vitus da , epilepsy r
and other forms of nerve.' { roubles are
at their worst, and t it then, more
than any ether ti e, blood -making,
nerve.restoring t n 1s needed,
The antiquated stem of taking pur
gatives in the spring is useless, for the
system really needs strengthing, while
purgatives only gallop through the
bowels, leaving you weaker, Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills are the best medicine,
for they actually make the new, rich,
red blood that feeds the starved nerves,
and thus cure the many forms pf
nervous disorders. They cure also such
other forms of spring troubles as head-
aches, poor appetite, weakness in the
limbs, as well as remove unsightly
pimples and eruptions. In fact they
unfaitingiy bring new health and
strength to weak, tired and depressed
menwomen andchildren.

EDITORIAL NOTES
The Dominion Parliament is not going
to let any anti -prohibition Province or
country interfere with the working out
to the fittest extent of any restrictive
liquor legislation passed by any Pro-
vince in the Dominion which swings
into line with the prohibition move-
ment. n , Tbat was the effect of the
Government bill introduced in the
Commons by Hon. C. J. Doherty, en-
titled "An tet in aid of I rovincial
legislation prohibiting or restricting
the sale or use of intoxicating liquors,"
THE DOMINION AND PROHIBITION
(Toronto Star)
Thev e
Pro tnc s of
Canada evidently
ev dentl
Y
want prohibition, and it is the duty of
the Dominion Governuta nt and Parlia-
ment to advance the movement. Mani-
toba has just voted for prohibition by a
majority of two to one, and the other
Prairie Provinces had already gone dry.
The other day the Nova Scotia Legis-
lature almost unanimously voted against
a proposition to exempt Halifax from
prohibition, which prevails throughout
the rest of the Province. Prohibition
is the rule throughout the Maritime
Provinces, and the exceptions are few.
The greathr part of the Province of
Quebec is under prohibition. Two-
thirds of the municipalities of Ontario
are "dry" under a law wbiche<,r•equires
a three•fifths majority. But for that
requirement, a very small minority of
the municipalities of Ontario would be
"wet " A large majority of the Ont-
ario and of Canada are undoubtedly in
favor of prohibition
In these circumstances, it is not too
much to ask the Dominion Parlia-
ment to prohibit the manufacture of
intoxicants in a• y Province which
desires that measure, as well as
to prohibit the importation of
intoxicants into such a Province. I€
Ontario wants prohibition, why should
Ontario continue to figure as the seat
of the distilling industry foc Canada?
All the distilleries in Canada, with one
small exception are in Ontario. Two
of these are the largest on the Ameri-
can continent. Ontario does not want
to occupy the position of supplying all
the native produ.t of spirituous liquors
for Canada, while prohibiting their use,
within the Province
The duty of the Deminiom Govern-
ment and Parliment is very simple. It
is to carry out the will of the Provinces
by forbidding both manufacture and
importation, so far as the Provences
desire. The
practical result
would be
to wipe out the whole business. and this
is what public opinion in Canada
demands.
THE ENDURING EMPIRE.
;o
THE BEER AND WINE FALLACY.
To the Editor:—
Dr. Kress, third Vice•Presidentof the
American Medical Society for the study
of Alcohol and other narcotics says,
"The beer industry in the United States
has practically developed during the
past sixty years. Previous to that very
little beer was sold. Whiskey, brandy
and other spirituous liquors were used.
The average consumption of alcohol was
at that time one and one-third gallons
per head annually.
The beer consumption has increased
by leaps and bounds. The breweries
now turn out over sixty-five million
barrels of heer annually. The annual
consumption of alcohol per capita in
the form of beer is over one and one-
half gallons. This Means that now
there is more alcohol consumed per
capita "in the form of beer than was
consumed sixty years ago in the form
of whiskey, brandy, beer and all other
alc;holic beverages combined.
This increase in the use of beer has
not resulted in a decrease of the
strop
eri
dr nks
Weare e now consum-
Iirg per capita three gallons of alcohol
instead of one and one-third and that in
spite of the efforts to stop the whole
traffic. It is evident than that beer
has not made for temperance in
America.
Beer is not a "liquid food", or a
"health drink" as it is claimed. Indeed
pure whiskey Ywith
pure
water
added to
reduce it to four per cent alcohol is
less injurious than an equal quantity of
beer wnich contains four per cent alco-
hol and other injurious substances. It
is difficult to find a heavy beer drinker
forty years of age with a normal heart,•
iver or kidneys. These vital organs
from the excessive burden that is put
on them, wear out prematurely. The
beer drinker
may
have
d C
Y an abundance
nc.
f flesh
but it is of inferior quality.
Surgeons do not care to operate on him
because the chances of recovery are
minimized. Should the beer drinker be
taken down with pneumonia or some
other febrile disease that taxes the
heart and kidneys, he would have but
three chances out of ten to recover.
So much for the physical ills of beer
!drinking.
The bad moral effect produced by
habitual beer drinking is even more
' marked. It produces a moral gross-
ness and seems to destroy the finer and
nobler instincts, Dr. A. Forel of the
University of Zurich says "One needs
only to study in Germany the "beer
joker," beer conversations and bene+
literature among the academic yor •
of Germany; the drinking of beer 1,.
killed the ideals and ethics and has pro
duced an incredible vulgarity."
H. Arnott, M.B., M,C.P.S.
In our moments of doubt and fear for
the future we can surely strengthen
our hearts with this thought that the
brute forces of evil and unrighteousness
have never yet set up any permanent
kingdoms upon the earth. Iron despot-
isms and cruel injustices have establish-
ed and fortified themselves until it
Seemed that nothing could possibly
match or overthrovw them, but some-
thing always has, and often it has been
a something on the surface quite un-
equal to the task, Heinen history has
not one single instance to bring forward
of an empire of wrong and despotism
persisting throughout centuries. No
one could match the might of Alexan•
der for a time, but how easy it etas to
match it after a while. It only took
a few years, comparatively, to make
the invincibility of Rome a joke and a
byword. If the history of the world
has proved anything at all it has proved
this, that the things which cut across
the great spiritual principles of right,
justice and equity can never establish YOU
any fixed and fast empire in the earth,
—Christian Guardian.

McGregor of Ford
RECENTLY OI✓TL OF OUR, FRIENDS ]?I'OM ACROSS
the line was standing on the sidewalk in one dour larger Canadian
cities viewing a march past of some of our soldier boys. The
itilties were going by,
"How typically Canadian are the kilties," he remarked. "We,
on our side of the big pond associate the Highland uniform as
rnu�..I with Canada a.5 with Scotland, Why is it?"
The reply was to the effect that it was because the Scotch
lied contributed so largely to the settlement and upbuilding of
the Dominion and so many Canadians of Scottish ancestry had
made themselves worthy of high ranks in the history of Canada.
Among these Canadians of Scotch parentage who have won a
place among Canada's great builders of industry we must reckon
Gordon M, McGregor of Ford, Ont.
About the year 1850 Mr. McGregor's grandparents set out
from Glasgow, Scotland to settle in what was then a new and far
away country --Canada.
A few years later we find them located at Sarnia, Ontario,
where a son, William, was born.
When still a young man William McGregor took a very
active interest in the business and political life of the country and
was elected a member of the Dominion Parliament, serving his
country and his district well and faithfully for twenty years,
Cordon McGregor about whom this is written was the son
of William McGregor and was born at Windsor, Ont. As Gordon
McGregor grew to manhood he capably assumed much of the
business cares of his father.
William McGregor eventually became interested in the
Walkerville Wagon Co., at WalkerviIle, Ontario, and, shortly after,
his son Gordon McGregor, was znade manager of the firm. Here
the son began to show that business foresight that has made him
one of the prominent figures in the business world of Canada.
About this time an event took place in the carriage and wagon
industry that caused the greatest concern. This w;ei the advent
and the establishment of the automobile as a practica,+vehicle.
Some dealers and builders were so alarmed t
their business would go to immediate rack andmf
auto would supersede horse-drawn vehi
were cool-headed enough to see the a
industry afforded and governed then
Among the latter was ordor
he could successfully enter upo
automobiles and looked ab
11
Ile got in touch with, any manufacturers and looked over
many makes of cars, Finally, he decided on one make and effected
arrangements for its production in this country. The car he chose
was the Ford.
He then tried to induce some of his friends in Canada to
invest in the proJect and encountered all the usual cold, disheart-
ening difficulties attendant upon the organization of a new and un -
1 tied proposition. If they could have but looked ten or eleven
year., ahead he would have had no worries over the organization
of a company even double or quadruple the size.
No stock was offered for sale outside of the Dominion until
all Canadians had been given an opportunity to subscribe.
Finally, in August 1904, they organized the company with a
capital of $125,000.
Then casae the difficulties of manufacture and for three years
it was a constant struggle to win success.
But success came and a greater success than the founders
ever dreamed of—a success abounding in truly marvelous fact,:,
and figures.
And this is the story of Gordon McGregor of Ford, Ontario,
they thought
in and the,: the
se-- ! 'ter. ' Othevs
ntages that this new
ieTvos accordingly.
cGregor, who believed that
the business of manufacturing
un for wise methods of doing this.
and of the establishment of the Ford Motor Company of Canada,
Limited.:,
Teeny, half the population of four towns depend upon the Ford Company
of C;t uc;a for their earnings. These are Ford City, Walkerville, Windsor and
;_rtndrricll.
The Iasi, eon.1.,s ctatos that the average family consists of five persons. An
there are over 3,000 employees in the towns mentioned above whose work is
flevo cd. to the manufacture of Ford cars, this official census figure shows that
there are over 15,000 people that look to the Ford Company for their support.
This does not include the nine cities in Canada in which Ford branches are
cst:ablisbed, which would add over 3,900 more.
And Ford employes are paid three times as well as the average as shown by
government -.rage reports.
In April 1915,
a time when most
Canadian manufacturers rers ware following
:t e co retrois n r
nL tiae�
�c
wages by the company virtually handed to its employees, $50,000 a month increased
e
wages and reduced the working hours from nine to eight per day,
Surely, the; le 0 great boon to Canadian workmen and their families, It
a Loon to C tnadeen merchants who benefit by the increased purchasing
power of all these families. It is a boon to the enti country in time of war
when. living expenses are higher than ever before.
And these employees have responded in like measure to the Empire's need
for her people's support, Ford City alone having made what is probably a
record contribution to the Patriotic Fund of $34 per capita.
More than 800 Ford employees have enlisted for overseas riervice, are. the
Company is spending thousands of dollars in moving pictures :•,.,ich are

ominion
.
'What an immense
expression of confidence in the ultimate and unquestion-
able success of British Arms and the aIIied cause was this great wage increase!
'But it was not the only evidence of the Ford Company's faith in the Em-
pire.
Before the outbreak of hostilities the company decided to reduce the price
of the car by $00. When the war came upon us the company might well have
been pardoned for withholding this reduction for a time. But they never even
considered it. The reduction was made the same day war was declared.
And you can realize how real this confidence in the victorious prosperity
of Canada Was when you consider that the prices of Ford cars are set in accord -
0.11C9 with the estimated production for the coming fiscal year and not by any
means are Loy based on the profits of the preceding year.
$652,000 has been spent on new buildings in Ford City since the war began.
Over 81,000,000 has been spent on new buildings in four Canadian cities
since war began, making a total expenditure for new buildings of approximately
a million and three quarters.
$1,000,000 has been spent in new equipment since war began. •
900 men have been added to the pay roll singe war began.
And if there is needed further proof of this company's absolute conviction
in the progress and prosperity of the Dominion, it may be found in the fact
that another S60 reduction m the price of the car was made last August—making
a total reduction of $120.00 since war began.
This 'new price requires an output of 40,000 cars this year.
Then, too, the price of Ford parts has been reduced by $147 per ear—a re-
duction that means a big increased economy to Ford owners.
Such immense expenditures and price reductions as these are of the great-
est benefit to the general welfare of the nation tinder existing conditions. They
form one of the greatest possible influences towards boosting the prosperity of
Canada.
Remember that all but $16.88 worth of the material that goes into the
construction of a Ford car is bought here in Canada—audit would all be bought
here if it were possible to get it.
Truly, the
by
wnfew Canadianmanacturers arafter o able to shot; twit a support to Canadian i '
dustry as this.
The Canadian Ford Company is basing this year's factory production,
plana on just double the business dont; last year.
They stake everything en the conviction that Canada is bound to prosper.;
They place all on the belief that Britain and her allies are bound to win.
McGregor of Ford and his Cattadi,.n associates may be pardoned for feel-)
inl� proud of this record.
