F. Whitson, commissioner of northern de- velopment for the Ontario Government, who has just returned from an inspection l of the new roads in the north. In fact, Mr. Whitson, says, there has been a steady and very satisfactory stream of settlers into this region since the in- auguration of the new train service two months ago. The farmers are enjoying prosperity, and Mr. Whitson believes the crops, especially grain, are even better than in Old Ontario. There has been some frost, but. the damage was not serious. GERMANS IN CANADA. (Toronto Star.) The census of 1911 showed that there were in Canada 393,320 persons of Ger- man birth or descent. Probably to -day the German population of Canada is not much less than the whole popula- tion of the city of Toronto, Most of these people, or their ances- tors, came to Canada long before there was any thought of hostility beween Great Britain and Germany. Many German families have been settled in Canada for periods ranging back to a hundred years. It is of the utmost importance that these people should be in sympathy with their fellow Canadians, not only during, but after the war. The bulk of them will remain here, and they and their children will always be every con- siderable element in the population of Canada. Those who are found aiding the enemy must, of course, be punished, and those who are dangerous must be interned. Others, while not amenable to punishment or internment, may have been influenced by a mistaken sympa- thy for Germany in this war. They are deeply wrong, for the Germans in Canada have reason to be very grate- ful for the fact that they live under British institutions and not under the Kaiser. Professor Riethdorf has been addressing thousands of Germans upon this text, and there is reason to believe that his work has been beneficial, and that he has removed many misconcep- tions and shown the Germans in Canada the true nature of the struggle. The Germans in this country owe a duty to Canada, and we owe a duty to them. Those who are loyal should be fairly treated. We should not only tell them . of British fair play; we should practise it. We should strive not to isolate or estrange Germans, but to bring them into our family and make them feel that we all have a common interist in supporting British institu- tions. THE AVERAGE CITIZEN The community is as progressive as its average citizen -no more, and no less. Every individual is reckoned with in arriving at the average. No one is exempt. You are responsible for the spirit of your community. You are whether you know it or not. You cannot place yourself outside of the calculation. You either stand above or below the average. I don't know which. I do know that where you stand affects the average. If below, you are acommuni- ty liability; if above, a community asset. In one case you are pulling down, retarding the advancement and pro- gress of community. In the other you are pulling up and promoting advance- ment and progress. The surest way to improve your community is to improve yourself! -The Citizen. WHAT CATARRH IS It has been said that every third person has catarrh it some form. Bcience has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates a general weakness of the body; and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vs.pors do little, if any good. To correct catarrh you should treat its cause by enricliag your blood with the oil -food in Stott's 1$mnlsion which is a medicinal :Good and a building -tonic, free from any harmful drugs. Try it. • Scott & 3owne, Toronto, Ont. IN THE COUCHES OF RHEUMAYISMI The Great Suffering of a Calgary Lacy Before Relief was Found. There is still a very prevalent belief that rheumatism is due to cold or wet weather,. This belief is probably due to the fact that when the blood is thin and watery, there is an scute sensitiveness to atmospheric conditions and a change to wet weather often means a return of the excruciating. pains. Rheumatism. however, is rooted in the blood, and it can only be driven from the system by building up and enriching the blood. Hot baths and outward applications of liniment may give temporary relief, but cannot cure. If the disease is not attacked through the blood, it simply fastens itself more firmly on the sys- tem, and the sufferer ultimately be- comes hopelessly crippled. The truth of this is proved by the case of Mrs. Frank Ford, of Calgary, Alta. Mrs. Ford, says: "I was an almost helpless cripple from rheumatism. It seemed to have settled in every joint. My arms and hands had to be bandaged. My ankles were so swollen that I had to use crutches. After doctoring for a long time and growing steadily wcrae, the doctor advised me to go to Banff Springs. I stayed there for eight weeks, taking daily baths and returned home poorer in pocket by about 150 and not one bit improved in he, h. I then entered a local hospita but did not derive any benefit. I v : s in such constant pain that I most wished to die, and I felt sure would be a life- long cripple. It a- : t this stage that a friend who had , en greatly benefitted by Dr. Williams' ink Pills urged me to try them. I began the use of the Pills and after taking them a few weeks the swelling in the joints began to go down and the pain was relieved. This greatly encouraged me and I continued the treatment until in, the course of three months the cure was complete., I had thrown away the crutches, could walk anywhere and do my own :house- work, and I never felt better in my life than I do at the present time, and all this is due to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I have also given the Pills to my daughter, who suffered from anaemia and she has gained in flesh and become a strong, healthy girl." If you are suffering from rheumatism or any weakness of the blood, give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial and they will speedily restore you to health and strength.

Two new battalions, the 70th and 71st, are to be recruited in ffestern Ontario for overseas service aiSd the counties of Huron and Bruce are expected to fur- nish a company of 250 men for the 71st. This company will be under the com- mand of Capt. H. C. Dunlop, of Goderich, as major. + Recruiting com- mences at once at various centres, the militia company head -quarters through- out the two counties, and the battalion will assemble at London for training. The 71st will be under the command of Lt. -Col. Sutherland, who was in service in France with the first Cana- dian contingent and returned to Canada wounded. The second in command is Major Delamere, who also was wound- ed in France. Major Delamere is a South African veteran. It will thus be seen that the new battalion will be in good hands and it is hoped to make of. it a crack corps. Capt. N. T. Sinclair is ready to receive recruits from eighteen to forty-five years of age. CANADA'S ARMY. A well informed Ottawa correspond- ent has the following which is no doubt reliable: The return of Sir Robert Borden and Sir Sam Hughes it is be- lieved at Ottawa will be signalized by a call for 50,000 additional men for overseas service. The Canadian Pre- mier and the Minister of Militia have been at the front, have seen the condi- tions, noted the needs, and conferred with'the British Government, and it is the opinion of those here who are in a position to know, that, as a result of conferences with Lord Kitchener and other British leaders Canada will be called upon to furnish additional re- inforcements to the extent of at least 50,000 men. The call for twelve new battalions, issued on Saturday, which are to be sent to England as soon as transports are available, indicates the demand for men and that the Imperial authorities have made known to the Dominion Government a new offensive movement this fall which will make heavy demands for reinforcements. While• it is not thought that any definite arrangements have been made as to what part Canada will play in this movement, it is rumored that another Division will be authorized. Incidentally it is pointed Mit that twelve battalions form a divi- sion, This would give Canada three full divisions at the front, with a reinforcement base in England. The First Division has been in France ever since February, under the command of General Alderson. The Second Division is in England, and is expected to cross the Channel any day now. It is com- manded by General 'Turner. However, for military reasons we are not per- mitted to discuss, it is doubtful if more RUIT STORE We purpose•opening a Fruit Store in D.

W..t 168 than the two full fighting Divisions will. be kept in the firing line for some time at least, Including the 10,000 men on garrison and home duty in Canada, the Dominion has now under arms approximately 150,000 men. When the twelve new battalions reach England there will be roughly 100,000 men under arms in Europe, 40,000 men in training in Can- ada, 1,000 men at Bermuda, 500 men at St. Lucia, British. West Indies; a Medical Corps at Cairo, consisting of three stationary hospitals; and 10,000 men in Canada, garrisoning Halifax, Quebec. Esquimault and guarding canals, elevators, patrolling the West- ern boundary, and on duty at jnter- ment camps. With the addition of 50,000 reinforcements Canada will have within a few months a splendid equip- ped and trained army of over 200,000 men. It there is a call for 50,003 reinforce- ments, the militia authorities anticipate no difficulty in getting the men. They state that recruiting during the last few weeks has been brisker than for months. In fact not since the out break of war has there been such enthusiasm and such a deluge of men willing to don khaki With harvesting over and winter approaching and many industries of certain lines somewhat slack, it is believed that any number of men will be available. Of the original Princess Patricia's Regiment, the first Canadian force to see fighting in France, less than 100 fighting men are left. However, the regiment is being re -organized and reinforcements are being sent at once which will bring this crack unit again up to strength. Of the First Contin- gent and reinforcements sent the cascualties are between 12,000 and 14,- 000. However, many of these men have recovered and are again back at the front. How many, Ottawa has no means of knowing. When a train hit an auto near De- troit, three women were killed:• Mrs. ,Tohn Hintz, aged sixty; Mrs. Louis kfoffman, forty-two; an unidentified Woman. The party were returning from a funeral. Customs officers at Brockville held up 400 passengers on a steamer from Ogdensburg to Kingston, to search them for smuggled goods bought on the American side on the holiday. In Winnipeg, flour has fallen 50 cents per barrel, in aedition to the reduction of 70 cents a week ago. Richard Birch, a farmer near St. Mary's, while alighting from a train on his return from Tordnto Exhibition was injured.
