No one who stops for a moment to
reflect cn the facts can fail to be struck
by the utter failure of the German
propaganda in the United States. This,
it may be said in passing, is in strict
accord with many other failures that
have characterized the German program
in the last six months. The Kaiser's
vast and brutal enterprise would be
better off to -day if these volunteer and
conscripted workers had desisted before
they began. For the human minds is
so constituted that it does not relish a
a constant fusilade of unwelcome and
unfounded argument. The American
public has made up its mind about the
whole matter, and it refuses to be
changed. Ail the King's horses and all
the King's men cannot put Humpty-
Dumpty Wiihelm together again—Provi-
dence Journal.
What is to be the future of the ter-
ritories liberated from the Turk's
maleficent sway? Above all, what of
that land of sacred memories "over
whose acres walked those blessed feet
that for our advantage were nailed upon
the bitter cross? It is one of the great
ironies of history that the cradle of
Christianity should for centuries have
formed part of the dominion of a non-
Christian people. When the Turk goes,
who and what is to take his place? Is
there any chance of the Zionist ideal
materialising into actuality? At the
present time the Jews form only a very
small minority of the inhabitants. But
if, with the sympathy and help of the
great powers, a Jewish state were
created, the new Palestine would doubt-
less be a lodestar to Jews the world
over and the ancient glories of Judea
might be revived. Even were new
Zion to become an accomplished fact
and the Jews once more had a natural
health and home, provision would still
have to be made for the Christian
guardianship of the Holy Sepulchre and
other sacred places to which every year
scores of thousands of Christians,
chiefly from Russia, make a pilgrimage.
—London Chronicle.
Canadians as Foreign Buyers
(Industrial Canada.)
Canadians buy more goods outside
their own country than the citizens of
any other important nation in the
world. Here is the average amount
which each citizen of the following
countries bought abroad in 1911, the
latest year for which comparative sta-
tistics are available:
Canada $70.24
Great Britain 61.55
Argentine ...... , . 47.39
France 39.30
Germany . .. 3.5,17
United States .... 16.63
Austria ., 1.216.
Russia 3.40
It seems incredible that every Cana-
dian annually spends $70.24 for foreign
goods while Russians only spend $3.40
each abroad. Canadians must Olt down
their foreign purchases and buy more
goods produced in their own country or
face national bankruptcy.

Almost everybody espe ri.aices times
when the organs of digestion show
painful signs of weakness. Some
slight disturoance of the health starts
the trouble; then the patient Vela's a
dislike to food and dull, heavy pains
in the abdomen give warnli g that the
stomach is unable to dna its prole„h
work. Sometimes a false craving ay

gans of digest! n by supplying them
with richer, put r ' •a d. This is the
true tonic treat'n- t , l y which natural
method, Dr. Will anis' fink Pills, a-
chieve great results. These pills make
the rich, red blood needed to strengthen
tbe' stomach, thus imparting a iaealthy
appetite and eut'.og indigestion and
other stomach disorders. Mr. Thos.
Johnson, Hentford, N. S., says: "For
five years I was a great sufferer from
indigestion which wrecked me physical-
ly. I suffered so much that for days at
a time I could not attend my business
I had smothering spells so bad at times
that I was afraid to lie down. I doctor-
ed and tried many medicines but with
no benefit. I saw Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills advertised to cure the trouble and
decided to try them. I had not been
taking them long before I found that I
had at last hit upon the right medicine.
' The improvement in my health was con-
stant, and after I had used ten or
twelve boxes I could eat and digest all
kinds of food, and I felt physically
batter than I had done for years. I
shall never cess: to praise Dr. William's
Pink Pills for they proved a real bless-
ing to me.”
You can get these pills from any
dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents
a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,

included in the war t udget as a 'hear

people will go 'a the exyenees of the

OPENING WEEK IN LEGISLATURE
War and its effects dominated this
year's speech from the throne. Un-
employment, more food, financial string-
ency and liquor legislation were among
the topics referred to. There were no
amendments or controversies in the
speeches in reply to the address from
the throne. In addition to the mover
and seconder only N'r. Rowell and Mr.
Hearst si.oke and both laid emphasis
on the war.

The House adjourned on Wednesday
after tributes of respect to the memory
of the late Sir James Whitney had been
paid by the new Prime Minister, the -
loader of the opposition rind other mem-
bers of the Ilouse•
Mr. Rowell formerly made his offer
to the Government to co-operate with
them in closing all drinking places dur-
ing the war and then to submit to a
majority vote of the people the question
of whether these drinking places are
ever to be re -opened or not "No Prime
Minister ever had a greater opportunity
to render conspicuous public service, as
lies before the Prime Minister of this
provin;e to -day," said Mr. Rowell.
The Government has as yet made no
reply beyond promising some amend-
ments to the Liquor License Act this
Session.
Hon. Mr. Lucas, the new kttorney
General, introduced the Moratorium
Bill. The action of this measure is con-
fined to mortgages and agreements of
sale on real estate anddoes not apply
to commercial paper or personal debts.
Only payments of principal can be de-
ferred not of interest, and even with
these principal payments each case
must be referred independently to a
judge who is given entire discretion to
decide whether in his opinion the in-
ability to pay can be attributed to the
war disectly or indirectly. The Mora-
torium is dated back to the beginning
of the war.
Mr. Evanturel is not recognized by
the Liberal party in the House. This
is shown by the fact that a caucus of
the Liberal members has already been
held and Mr. Evantural was not invited
to be present.
