There was; a good attendance. Mr. Henry Smith of Hay, who had been President for many years of the old South Huron Association, was el- ected President, Mr. Alexander Must- ard of Brucefield, Secretary, snd Dr. Mayer of Hensel', Treasurer. The Vice -Presidents are: Dr. Shaw of Clinton, Mr,. Fialand of Hulett, arid M.

Our camp for one million tnen then would occupy fifty square miles -nearly twice the size of the city of Toronto. And new to feed this vast army Of raeu and animals? The full das s ration for a man in the field weighs 4.4 pounds and costs about 30 cents, including everything. Item -$300,000 a day for food for one million soldiers. This it just a little matter of $9,000,00 a month! The food would weign 4,100,000 pounds 5ust the food for one day- or 2,200 tons. One box oar's capacity is 1,800 cubic feet. This will carry 9,1'72 rations - food food for one day for 9,172 men. So, for one million men, all waiting patiently for their grub it would take 109 freight cars every day to Ming along their rations -five trains of 21 cars each. And this, mind, only for twenty-four hours. A WOMAN'S A recent estimate mad,e shows that iI2 the past year or two upwards of $00,- 000 has been secured in Montreal through the raising of cheques. The most fam- ous easeis that recently before the courts when a cheque was raised from $54 to $54,000, From this amount range down- ward to the innocent $4. which was raised to $14. It is probable that a much larger total than the $60,000 mentioned above would be fouad if all the parties who have had cheques raised upon them were to publish the facts. -Journal of Com- merce. Canada is a land in the temperate zone, rich agrimdturally and with limit- less natural resources. It is precisely such a territory as the Gernaans would dearly love to get into their possession. They could send their surplus popula- tion here by the millions and create in our fat provinces and on our broad prairie a new Germany. This would imply German rule at Ottawa -German domination in our cities -German gar- risons throughout our couatry- German officers ewaggering about our streets - German isolence to our civilians, our women and even our children. We should have Zabern incidents by the score -Montreal would become another Strassburg. -Montreal Star, RIGHT TO HEALTH, No Reason Why They Should Suffer from Batkaches and Headaches, To every woman belongs the right to enjoy a healthy, active, happy life, yet nine out of ten suffer, oftenin silence, from splitting headaches, tor- turing backaches, violent heart palpita- tion or some other of the many evils that follows anaemia, or bloodless- ness. That is why one sees so many wom- en with pale, thin cheeks, dull eyes and drooping figures -sure signs that the blood is out of order. All suffer- ing women should win the right to be well by refreshing their weary bodies with the new, rich blood of health that promptly transforms them into healthy attractive women. There is no other medicne can supply this new, rich blo so speedily and so surely as Dr. iams' Pink Pills for Pale P pie. Through thie medicine thous ds of tired suffering women have f d new health and strength. Mrs. J es Drost Chipman, N.B., says: ' or years I did noe know what it w to be entire- ly free from headac or beekache. d clammy all the for me to get my walk even a short eave me completely worn out. ife was one of constant worry and I thought I would never be better. I was doctoring all the time but without a bit of benefit, and finally the doctor stopped giving me medicine as he said he could not help me. Do you wonder that I was in despair. My mother urged me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but I said "what's the use, medidne can't help me." However, my husband got six boxes of the Pills, and to please him I began to take them. By the time I had finished I undoubted- ly had improved and there was the signs of returning health in my cheeks and hands. My husband thought the im- provement so great that he got another haif dozen boxes, and before these were completed I was enjoying such good health as I had not bad in years, in fact I was a well woman, and have since enjoyed the best of health. I sincerely feel that I owe my life to Dr. Williams' P;nk Pills' and shall always recommend them to all sick people." You can get these pills at any medi- cine dealers, or six boxes for $2.50 by writing The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co,, Brockville, Ont. As kings are rated, Albert of Bel- gium is a minor King; but as men go, he is a major man. His simple demo- cratic ways won the hearts of the Bel- gians long before the war turned him into a popular hero. Whatever changes of heart may come to other European peoples, when they count up their dead and figure the price of the general slaughter, it is safe to say Belgium will not discord King Albert. His triumphs are not those of the gilt -braided uni- form, but of the plain khaki suit; his place was not in the council chamber with those who dictate war policies, but in the trenches along with the men who get killed. -Los Angeles Times. Every nation gets the press it deserves. Germany haseleng been content with a spoonful press, and the result is that in the hour of her bitter humiliation, when her dreams of world -contest are shat- tered forever, the German Government through the obsequious newspaper, have befooled the people. They cannot do so forever, and when Germany iowakens to realize that Paris and France are beyond her grasp. The hour of retribution will have struck. The awakening should come very soon now.--Lonbon Times. Bey hands wef cold time.

C P.SMITH, Manager Wingharn, Ont JAMESTOWN. The Brandon Daily News of October 9th gives the following particulars of the sudden demise of Mrs. Wood, she being the sister to Allen Ramsay, of this locality :-Mrs. Almira Ramsay, wife of Frank A. Wood, principal of the Wheat City business college, pass- ed away this morning, shortly before 6 o'clock at her home, 623 12th street, having had scarcely a premonition of the Great Reaper. Mrs. Wood has been ill only a few houre and once the attack of apoplexy overcome her, she apsed into uncoriciousness. in which condition ahe stayed for a few hours until the final summons relieved her. The unexpectedness of her death was a shock to many friends, while her im- media family is overcome with its and a udden bereavement, Mrs. Wood ho was 42 years of age, is survived by two children and her husband. and the last evening was spent at home and the ehildren were entertained with games in which their mother was the leading spirit. She was in excellent health and hopeful spirits when she retired for the night, and it was not until some hours after midnight that the stroke that proved fatal, selzed upon her. A.doctor was summoned and though he remained .at her bedside and exercised all pos- sible efforts, there was no help for the stricken woman, wive passed away about a quarter to seveethis morping. Last winter airs. Wood suffered from high blood pressure which affected her eye- sight and though there had been no perceptible lingering results from that attack it is presumed that this led to the bursting of a blood vessel that was the final shock. Mrs. Wood had lived in Brandon for four years and with her husband had been a resident of Winni- peg ten years preceding that. She was a menaher of the Knox Presbyterian Church, and not only lived a Christian and charitable life, but performed many good actions that came from a kindly spirit. She was a worker for the Missionary, Ladies' Aid, and other societies connected with Knox Church, and her services could always be de- pended upon when any worthy cause was presented to her. Stanley, aged 13 is ths son who survives her and Annie is the year old daughter. ONE MILLION 1V1EN1 WHAT IT MEANS A million men! 'What does that mean? How many are e million?
