Ontario's aid to the Imperial Govern- ment in the war crises will be a quarter of a million bags of -flour at a cost of $700, 000. The British spirit which could raise and spend three thousand millions of • dollars against Napoleon a century ago can, and if necessary will, raise and spend thirty thousand millions against Kaiser Wilhelm now, This is no idle suggestion. The wealth of the British Empire now is a hundred times greater than it was a hundred years ago, and British man -stuff is just as stout. - Ottawa Journal. LET OPTIMISM PREVAIL. (Toronto (lobe.) Thirty tons of gold have been released by the Government to serve the pur- poses of trade and industry during the present crisis. The transfer of fifteen million dollars from the great reserve of idle gold held by the Dominion to the banks as a support of greater circulation should obviate the necessity of rdstrict= ing safe commercial advances. The Dominion Government has taken the steps necessary to sustain credit and confidence. It remains for men in every line of enterprise to keep an optimistic outlook and continue M anticipation of a normal volume of business. Credit is the main dependence of many enter- prises. If bankers see evidences of public timidity they protect themselves by reducing credits. This means that all the manufactures dependent on bank credit must reduce their scale of oper- ations, dismiss some of their etnployees, and practice many discouraging economies. Thus the loss of confidence brings hard times without a failure or the possibility of any financial calamity. The Government ' has made timely concessions to the banks, and through them to the business community. Con- fidence and optimism are the only other essentials, There are no grounds for alarm or even timidity, and the practising of needless economies is cer- tain to shrink business, obstruct industry and cause general depression.

A, MotACHLAN PRINCIPAL. THE DAY OF THE PEOPLE. Drunk with the lust of power, insane through egotism and self will, the' greatest representative of medievalism alive is making his stand, his last stand in Europe today agaInst the progress of enlightment and the coming of the brotherhood of man and the Kingdom of God. Do you have any fears of the final result? If you do, you do not need to have, whatever just fears you may have as to the process by which it will be reached. Along with the thousands of the sons of the nations, medievalism will be slain in Europe during these :next few weeks. That old arch hersey that said one man had divine right to impose his will upon millions will be slain finally and forever. The people, stricken, peeled, broken, with resources swept away, every home a place of mourning and every heart lonely fcr someone, will give it short shrift. The day of the people will draw more fully over the earth. Men will rule who serve the people who minister to the common good, and not those who wickedly serve their own whim or lust. God help us that the day will dawn through such struggle and conflict. But God help us to see its dawning and make the most of it. - Christian Guar- dian, Toronto. (Monetary Times.) Canada is in an extraordinary strong position in this time of crisis. One justly may feel pride in the manner in which the countries of the British Ern- pire have handled the situation in financial and commercial spheres. This Dominion is young, as nations count years, hat it has followed British traditions with admirable skill and spirit. The financial house has been placed in order, rapidly and effectively. The governments of Great Britain and Canada have taken strong measures to keep the national wheels moving. Ger- man commerce is paralyzed, British commerce soon will be working on schedule. Germahy's financial measures are creating for it a terrible strain. Great Britain can raise loans of a billion dollars a year, with little trouble. Germany is being cut off from the world. Britain is welding more strong- ly than ever, the sentimental and commercial links of Empire. Canada is the the larder of the Empire and Canada's citizens must keep the shelves well filled for those at home and over- seas. If borrowing powers are reduced for the present, the Dominion may aoncentrate energy upoh production. Last year, Canada produeed $2,509,000,- 000 of wealth in its fields, factories, fisheries and forests. Now that capital is harder to borrow, more attention may be paid to its creation. The possibilities are here. With these satisfactory con- ditions at home, naturally one looks next to Germany, many of whose industrial workers are being plaeed in the lite of battle. Germany, the London Times tells tEr, "is making an astounding drain upon her financial reserves and ber credit system and creating a situation which may be tolerable in victory, but will be appalling in defeat." Who will get Germany's lost trade the world over? Canada won the last trade war with Germany and has good opportunities to vv:n this one. "Made in Canada" looks better, too. There is the business map to study as well as the wet.- map. WHY WEAK LUNGS? The toll of tubereulosis is claiming more titan 550 victims every day in the United States, yet few realize their grave condition until the critical period arrive. Overwork, worry, weakness after sick - nue, catarrh, bronchieie, tender throats - all v:xert the weakening influence that invites consumption. To guard against consumption, thou- sands of people take Seott's Emulsion after meals because its rielt medicinal nourish,. :tient strengthens the lungs, puts vigor in the blood, and uphttilde strength to resist tubetenlosis.

A shadow of gloom was cast over this vicinity, when it was learned that Nellie Nixon, beloved wife of Mr. P. McKenzie Paterson, had passed away after only a very brief illness. The deceased was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Nixon, of Lucknow, and for many years residents of White- church. Since her marriage she had made her residence in this village and was very highly esteemed by a very large circle of friends in this commun- ity. Besides her husband three small children are left to mourn the loss of a kind mother and affectionate Wife. She had been ill only a few weeks and was not considered serious until the day before her death. The deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church. The funeral took on Sunday services being held in the church and were conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. Ure Stewart. The remains were taken to Wingham for interment and the cor- tege was one of the largest ever wit- nessed in this vicinity. The deepest sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. George Garton, in their sad bereavement by the death of their daughter, Mary D., who passed away on Friday last at the tender age of 11 years and 4 days. The funeral took plaee on Monday, and the remains in- terred in the Wingham Cemetery. Jubille services will be held itt the Bethel Methodist church on Sunday, September Gth, this being the fiftieth anniversary.

There was a large number in the hall, and after a few of the leaders, pro and con, had spoken on the cubject, a vote was taken which was strongly adverse to the purchase, so that the matter will have to drop and both com- panies run independent to each other. Word was received here Friday that Mrs. N. H. Young, a former resident of Blyth, had passed away in Toronto after an long illness. The remains were brought here for burial. The funeral took place from the Methodist Church on Saturday. $25.00 REWARD. LOW COLONIST RATES TO PACIFIC COAST V14 CHICAGO, UNION PACI- FIC AND NORTH WESTERN LINE.

Just what it means depends, largely on now we meet the situation. It might mean: continued dullness,, depression, -hard times" ----if we, were to persist in thinking and talking "hard times." It - may, just -as reasonably, mean prosperity ----if „ we keep our heads and go, after business in' the right spirit of ag- gressiveness. We might well follow the lead set us by some of our large industrial concerns. An excellent example is furnished by our three leading automobile manufacturers. One -making a high-priced car -has given instructions for the most aggressive selling campaign the company has ever undertaken; backed up by a big campaign of advertising in the newspapers. Another, who makes various -priced gars of high quality, had a large annouucement of 1915 models in a long 'list of papers the very week after war was declared. %3 A third -a Canadian branch factory of a United States concern making a popular priced car, is announcing an import- ant price change -and taking larger space thah 'ever before in Canadiannewspapers to tell the story, And this, be it noted, is the attitude of the three big men in an industry that the pessimists have been predicting would be seriously affected by the war. Their unshaken confidence, their greater -than ever determination to market successfully a class of product that is always hard to sell, should be an in- spiration to the rest of our industries. These three manu- facturers have tested advertising, and have confidence in its efficiency in stimulating business in' times of war as well as in times of peace. Instead of retrenching, the business men of Canada may well emulate the action of the motor car manufacturers, and go out after business in the most aggressive way possible, , ... _ _ Bank of Hamilton Capitel Aut horized $5,000,000 Capital Paid-up, 3,000,000 Surplus - 3,750,000 READY MONEY.

Just what it means depends, largely on now we meet the situation. It might mean: continued dullness,, depression, -hard times" ----if we, were to persist in thinking and talking "hard times." It - may, just -as reasonably, mean prosperity ----if „ we keep our heads and go, after business in' the right spirit of ag- gressiveness. We might well follow the lead set us by some of our large industrial concerns. An excellent example is furnished by our three leading automobile manufacturers. One -making a high-priced car -has given instructions for the most aggressive selling campaign the company has ever undertaken; backed up by a big campaign of advertising in the newspapers. Another, who makes various -priced gars of high quality, had a large annouucement of 1915 models in a long 'list of papers the very week after war was declared. %3 A third -a Canadian branch factory of a United States concern making a popular priced car, is announcing an import- ant price change -and taking larger space thah 'ever before in Canadiannewspapers to tell the story, And this, be it noted, is the attitude of the three big men in an industry that the pessimists have been predicting would be seriously affected by the war. Their unshaken confidence, their greater -than ever determination to market successfully a class of product that is always hard to sell, should be an in- spiration to the rest of our industries. These three manu- facturers have tested advertising, and have confidence in its efficiency in stimulating business in' times of war as well as in times of peace. Instead of retrenching, the business men of Canada may well emulate the action of the motor car manufacturers, and go out after business in the most aggressive way possible,
