EDITORIAL NOTES
That western farmers who were
formerly residents of Ontario are re-
turning to this province and settling
along the new Trans -continental Rail-
way, is the announcement of Mr. J. 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. •

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. Sold by medicine dealers
or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50 by The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville, Ont.
A CALL TO ARMS.
Huron and Bruce Expected to Send
250 Men.
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

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.
