Tho mountain or the Rigi, in Switzer- land, commands a panorama of 4013 miles in circumference, which includes the lovely lake of Lucerne, and is un- surpassed for beauty. The Rigi was known to only a few travelers in the eighteenth century, but after the peace of 181E it became a resort for the curi- ous, the first dwelling having been erected in 1814. Now many hotels are in a flourishing condition, and it is popular even in winter. There is a little chapel, with Its walls covered with votive tablets, for many have been the victims in the ice gorges of this lofty peak. Pipefish.

Had No Power Over the Limbs Locomotor Ataxia, Heart Trouble and Nervous Spells 'Yielded. to Dr. Chase's Nerve rood. It would be easy to tell you how Dr. Chase's Nerve Food cures loco- motor ataxia and derangements of heart and nerves, but it may be more satisfactory to you to read this letter. Mrs. Thee, Allan, R.F.D. 3, Sombra, Ont., writes :-"Five years ago I suf- fered it complete breakdown, and fre- quently had palpitation of the heart. Since that illness I have had dizzy spells, had he power over My limbs (locomotor ataxia) and could not walk straight.

The Secretary read the Report of the Directors to the Sharehold- ers and submitted the Annual Statement of the affairs of the Bank, which• is as follows: TO THE SHAREHOLDERS: The Directors beg to present the following statement of the re- sult of the business of the Bank for the year ended 31st Deceinber, 19 Bala14:nce Of Profit and Loss Account, 31st December, 1913..$ 647,688.32 Net profits for the year• after deducting all charges and making full provision for bad and doubtful debts ... 925,364.94 Premium received on new Capital Stock 188,655.20 Making a total of $1,761,708.46 Which has been disposed of as follows: Dividends (quarterly) at Twelve per cent. , ..$716,244.67 Bonus, Two per cent 119,992.00 Total distribution to Shareholders of Fourteen per cent. for the year $836,236.67 Contribution to Officers' Pension Fund 25,000.00 • Contribution to Canadian Patriotic Fund . , 25,000.00 Contribution to Canadian Red Cross Society2,500.00 Contribution to Belgian Relief Fund 1,000.00 $888,736.67 Transferred to Reserve Fun+l-Premium on New Stock 188,655.20 $1,077,391.87 Written off Bank Premises $100,000.00 of 300,000.0.0 $ 400,000.00 $ 284,316.59 Reserve for possible depreciation in value Assets Balance, of ,Profit and Loss carried forward 684,316.59 RESERVE FUND.

In the hist Annual Report your Directors made reference to the general financial and commercial depression then existing, which con- dition was much intensified through the outbreak of the war in Europe in July last, necessitating the exercise of unusual care in ad- ministrating the affairs of the Bank. it has been our endeavor to fully provide for the requirements of deserving borre\vers, particu- larly those engaged in producing and marketing the foodstuffs of the' country, at the same time maintaining strong cash reserves and liquidity of assets. This policy has been satisfactorily carried out. The earnings were somewhat smaller than in 1913, but justified the declaration of the usual dividends and bonus after ample provision had been made for all accounts of a doubtful character and for possi- ble depreciation in the value of assets. The Directors feel that you 'will approve of certain unusual dis- bursements that were made from the profits of the year, namely, con- tributions to the Canadian Patriotic Fund, the Canadian Red Cross Society, ati:d the Belgian Relief Fund, reported in detail in the State- ment. It wilt:be observed that the issue of new Capital Stock of the 15th of February, 1913, is now fully paid up, the Capital Account standing on 31st December, 1914, at $6,000,000, and the Reserve Fund at $7,000,000. , A notable event in the history of the Bank has taken place since the. Shareholders last met, in the completion of the new Head Office Building, which was occupied in November last. The results obtain- ed may be• considered highly satisfactory. Allowance has been made for the natural growth of the Bank's business, and every facility has been provided for the convenience of. its customers; furthermore, DRINK MUST GO. To the Editor:- The ditor:The Editors of the Technical World say, "Emperors, business men, social reformers, are all agreed upon one thing; alcoholic drinks work positive harm. A single glass of beer lessens a man's efficiency seven per cent. Imagine then what larges quantities of wine, gin or whiskey will do. The up- to-date employer will not keep men who drink even in moderation. The Secretary of the Navy will not allow them on our warships; every command- er in the field today in Europe is lead- ing a sober army. Everywhere the brains of the world recognize that alco- holic liquors weaken both muscle anti mind power." For many years the people have been demanding of the Provincial Govern- ment that the use of alcoholic liquors for beverage purpores be prohibited, but so far without any result worth mentioning from either of the political parties. Local prohibition wherever it has been given a fair trial has proved to be a great blessing t6 the community but is handicapped by some wet muni- cipality close at hand. But even under those adverse circumstances it has been such a benefit that the people would tot go back to license except in a very few exceptional Cases. Even in Toron- to Junction, and other places, where liquor can be had bar crossing the street it has worked great good. Phis shows that if a bunch of Men are passing a saloon they may go in; whereas if they have to go round a block for it only the n'd chronic drinkers will do so. H. Arnett, considerable revenue will be derived trona the space rented by the various tenants of the building,. During the year Branches were opened at Fort Frances, Ont. and in Toronto at Yonge and Hayden 'streets, and at the corner of McCaul and St. Patrick streets. The following Western Brunches were closed, as the business secured and the prospects did not justify their further maintenanee: Hanley, Sask.. Clareeholm. Alta.; Granville Street Branch, Vanoou., ver; South Hill Branch, Moose ,taw; Hillhurst Branch, Calgary/ Riverside Branch, Calgary; Fcrnwood Branch, Victoria. In accordance with $;'tion 56 of the Hank Act, and following their anointment at the last Annual General Meeting a complete audit of the afatrs of the Bank was made by your Auditors, Messrs, G. T. Clarlcson and U. J. Dilworth, whose certificate is attached to the Statement now submitted. In addition the usual inspections of all the Branches of the Bank have been made during the twelve months under review, and the Head Office Cash. Investments, and Balance Sheet of the 31st De- cember were verified by a committee of your Directors. E. B. OSLER, President; Toronto, 27th January, 1015. It was moved by Sir Edmund B, Osier, M.P., seconded by Bir. W. D. Matthews, and RESOLVED. That the Report be adopted,. The retiring Auditors, Messrs. Geoffrey T. Clarksop and Robert J. Dilworth, were reappointed Auditors for the current year, The thanks of the Shareholders were tendered to the President. Vice -President and Directors for their services during the year, arid. to the General Manager and the other Officers of the Bent; for th' efficient performance of their respective duties. The following gentlemen were duly elected Directors for the en- suing year : Messrs A. W. Austin, W. R. Brock, James Carruthers, R. J. Christie, J. C. Eaton, J. J. Foy, K.C., M.L,A., W. D. Matthews, A. M. Nanton, E, W. Hamber, H. W. IHIutchinson, and Sir Edmund B. Osler, M.P. At a subsequent meeting of the Directors, Sir Edmund B. Osler, M.P., was elected President, and Mr. W, D.
