(Toronto Globe) "Russia with its 170 millions of con- sumers in our one great compensating market of the future, and Canadian industries should begin to lay plans for the capturing of a large share in that export trade. To do that it will be necessary to sink individuality and adopt trade -grouping among the Can- adian industries. Organizations re- presenting various industrial enterprises now exist for the purpose of handling war contracts. Let those organizations continue to exist after the war with the view of advancing trade in Russia. Let them send their representatives, practical men Rho know their articles well, to Russia, and this country should develop a very valuable export con- nection with the Russian people." That was the crux of the message which was given to The Globe last evening by Mr. C. F. Just, Special Canadian Trade Commissioner to Russia, who is registered at the Queen's Hotel. Mr. Just, who for a number of years was the Canadian Trade Commissioner in Germany, and was held at Hamburg for eight months following the out- break of war, went to Russia from Britain as, soon as he was released from the enemy's country. In Russia he investigated trade conditions, and made several reports to the Canadian Government. He left Russia by way of Vladivostok and entered this country at Victoria, being now on his way to Ottawa. "There is a very favorable attitude towards Canada on the part of the in- fluential people of Russia," said Mr. Just, "and the fact that from 50 to 60 per cent. of Russia's imports in recent years have come from Germany puts this Dominion in a most advantageous position in e matter atter of extending poling ]fines of trade to the Russian market." The articles which Russia would be glad to take from Canada, Mr. Just says, are as follows: Farm machinery, saw -mill, wood -working and rock drilling machin- ery, lathes, hand pumps and turbines, lumbermen's tools, and hardware of all kinds, especially wire nails and barbed wire, boots and shoes, sole leather and chrome leather, such as box calf and chevrean, and such chemicals as coal distillate products, sulphate of ammonia, creosote, carbolic acid and pitch. Knitted goods, in the manufacturing of which Canada is especially well known, are also demanded. "The long-standing law in Russia, obliging the purchases of materials for railway building to be made in that country, must go to the wall," said Mr. Just. Because," said he, "with a population of 170 millions, Russia has a railway mileage little more than that of Canada. Russia," he added, "will not be able to build its railways rapidly enough under a law so restrictive." The vast proportions of the Rnssian market were indicated by the Mr. Just in the divisions which he made of the country according to the territory sup- plied by the three principal ports of entry. Vladivostok is tributary to Eastern Siberia, with a population of two and a half millions. The Baltic ports lead to northern Russia with 45 million people, to central Russia with 21 millions, and to western Siberia with some ten millions. Odessa, on the Black Sea, supplies a market in the south of 40 million people. Altogether the Canadian Trade Com- missioner believes strongly that the manufacturers and business men of Canada have a remarkable field for new trade before them in Russia, if they will only organize properly and make a serious attempt to establish a connection with that market. THE "COMMITTEE OF ONE HUN. DRED." This is the title of the new organiza- t ion formed for the specific purpose of securing the election to the Ontario Legislative Assembly of as many as prssible of those who are willing to v ,te for the withdrawal of liquor HAVEYOU WEAK LUNGS? Do colds settle on yroar Chest or in your hronclzial tubes? Do conghs bang on, or are you subject to throat troubles? Such troubles should have immediate treatment with the rare curative powers of Scott's Emulsion to guard against Consumption which so easily follows. Scott's Emulsion contains pure cod liver oil which peciriisrly strengthens the res- piratory tract and improes the quality of the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and Beals the tender membranes of the throat. Scott's is prescribed by the best special- ists.. You can get it at any drug store. • asset & iwwae, Tore.4o, Oat. '• licenses to .social drinking places, whether bars or clubs The resolution affirming the need of such au organiza- tion was adopted at a recent meeting in the Toronto Board of Trade rooms, but the membership is Province -wide. The keynote of the resolution is the assertion that while the question' of dealing with the liquor trade is emphatically cine of "practical politics," there is no reason why it should be re- garded as one of "partisan politics " This assertion is perfectly true, and the attitude expressed by ,it is eminently reasonable, No social drinking places of any sort should be licensed, and if the Legislature would so declare, and would take adequate steps to enforce the law against bar and club drinking, the most effective institutions for the recruitingofdrunkards would disappear, carrying with them the mischievous practice of treating. - The members of the committee are to be as nearly as practicable equal in numbers: Conservatives and Liberals. Thisshould not be difficult to arranged because their work is likely to be too arduous to appear tempting to those who are looking only for personal dis- tinction. The Liberal members of the Legislative Assembly have already made the work of organization less difficult than it would otherwise have been, by offering to support any pro- posal, even the most extreme, the Gov- ernment is willing to put forward on the floor of Parliament. The moral lesson afforded by a sweeping measure unanimously adopted would be a memorable incident in the history of social reform:—Toronto Globe. EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES PLEASE LISTEN. To the Editor:— If more evidence be needed as to the immensity of harm done by the liquor traffic to business interests it is to hand on a large scale. Statisticians have divided the United States into four divisions, first -prohibition states, second -near prohibition states, includ- ing those that have more than fifty per cent under prohibition, third -partly license states, those that have less than fifty but more than twenty-five per cent under no license and fourth -those states that have less than twenty-five .per cent under no license. This gives an excellent chance for comparison along several lines which has yielded results that are Very surprising. When the people learn facts like these there will soon be no liquor traffic. Let ut first take up the economic aspect of the drink question. The facts revealed by this method of investiga- tion are of the utmost importance both to employers and employees. It shows that in the prohibition states in ten years there has been an increase of fifty-three per cent in the number of wage earners. In the near prohibition states the increase was 43.3 per cent in the partially licensed states the increase had dropped to 40.3 and in the licensed states it was only 36,7 per cent. This surely shows clearly enough that the liquor traffic is the greatest enemy of labor. Next as to the increase in the quantity of goods manufactured in ten years. In the prohibition states this was 116.3 per cent. In the near pro- hibition states the increase was 85.6 per cent. In the partially licensed states it was 82.2 while in the licensed states it was only 73.7 per cent. These facts show that from the standpoint of business activity the states which do most to control the liquor traffic are marching ahead of the others, The relation between the quantity of liquor used and business progress is veru remarkable. The per cent increase in the wages paid to labor in the prohibition state is no less remarkable. In the prohibition states the. increase in ten years was 103 per cent. In the near prohibition states it was 77 per cent. In the partially licensed states the increase was 75 per cent while in the licensed states it was only 61 per cent. These figures completely refute the liquor falsehood that prohibition injures labor. It is a benefit not only in wages but many other ways. It also shows that the sober man can and does do more work than the drinking man who often goes to work with a fuddled brain and unsteady hands. Probably the worst showing of al! is labors share in the manufacture of liquor as compared with other industries. In all the industries of the United States the average percentage of all expenses that goes to labor is 54.4'while the percentage paid for wages in the manufacture of malt liquors is only 20.2 and the portion that goes to wages in the manufacture of distilled liquors is less than two per cent. With these facts before us we must organize and fight this great obstacle to business prosperity. Ii. Arnott, M.B..M.C.P.S.

ALL MOTHERS. NEED CONSTANT STRENGTH Their Strength is Taxed and They are Victims of Weak- ness and Suffering When there is a growing family to care for and the 'mother falls ill it is a serious matter. Many mothers who are• on the go from morning to night, whose work, apparently, is never done, tr3 to disguise their suffering and keep up an appearance ot cheerfulness be- for their family. Only themselves know how tney are distressed by back- aches and headaches, dragging down pains and nervous weakness; how their nights are , ftep sleepless, and they arise to a new day's ,work tired, de- pressed and quite unrefreshed. Such women should know that their suffer- ings are usually due to lack of good nourishing blood. They should know that the one thing they need above all others to give them new health and strength is rich, red blood, and that among all medicines there is pone can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for their blood -making, health -restoring quali- ties. Every suffering woman, every woman with a home and family to care for should give. these pills a fair trial, for they will keep her in health and strength and make her work easy. Mrs. G. Strasser; Acton West, Ont., says• "I app the mother of three chil- dren, and after each birth I became terribly run 'down; I had weak, thin blood. always felt tired, and unable to do my household work. After the birth of my third child I seemed to be worse, and was very badly run down. I was advised to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I found the greatest benefit from the pills and soon gained my old- time strength. Indeed, after taking them I felt as well as in my girlhood, and could take pleasure in my work. 1 also used Baby's Own Tablets for my little ones and have found them a splen- did medicine for childhood ailments." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at'50 cents a box qr six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. BIG LIBERAL CONVENTION. The Ottawa Free Press announed that a*convention of the Liberal party, the first in 22 years, may be called soon. The Free Press says: "It is proposed that a National Lib- eral convention should be called. The question is under the'. consideration of leaders in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and elsewhere. All announcement may be expected shortly of the proposed dote of a gathering 'which would include representatives from every' part of Canada. • "The organizaUbn'of such a •conven- tion would require`'much• preliminary preparation, which }?ardly could be ac- complished in less than a year. "It is estimated that this would bring the convention on ,this British arms had achieved victoryand a triumphant peace had been declared." W HITECHLRCH A patriotic doncertunder the auspices of the Literary Society will be held in Whitechurch Presbyterian church sheds as last year, on Friday evening, Octo- ber 22nd, at 8 o'clock. A splendid program has been arranged, consisting of instrumental and vocal music, read- ings, .etc. In connection with this, a drill exhibition will again be' given this year by Capt. Carrick, Itwiil be some- what different from last year, .but will still be even more interesting. Major J. C. Toimie, M.P.P., of Windsor, and others will speak on this occasion.

Johnson, Ethel, preached anniversary sermons in the Methodist church at 11 and 7. Monday evening a hot supper was served in the Foresters' Hall followed by a good program in the church com- posed of musical selections from West- field Quartette, addresses, etc. A good time was spent. Revds, Messrs. Powell and Jewitt being the speakers. What might have been a serious acci- dent befell Jes. and Mrs. Grigg while returning from Blyth Fair. An auto. owned by Mr. Webb, was the cause of their rig being upset and considerably damaged. Fortunately no very serious damage was done to the occupants. The car did not stop to render any help. There may be trouble over the matter. , MEETING OF 'rEM?ERANCE MEN. At the very time when the Govern- ment presumably thought that with the passing of the eight o'clock order of the License Board there would be a little respite from the agitation against the liquor traffic, they must be very disappointed to find that instead of a rest, a period of even greater activity has bean ushered in. It was on the evening of the 12th of October that the eight o'clock closing rule was announced, (which by the way has pleased nobody, either the liquor interests or the temperance men), and it was just three days later, on the 16th of October, that the Committee of One Hundred, modelled after similar bodies in Sask- atchewan and British Columbia, was launched at the big Toropto meeting. This Committee of One Hundred is to be the Executive of a new temperance movement, entirely non-partisan in its nature, and which will be satisfied with no nibbling or zig-zag process, but which is demanding the complete pro- hibition of the liquor traffic in Ontario or, at any rate, a referendum of the people on the question. The movement, which is still in its infancy, already includes prominent men of' both parties from many sections of the province and prospects are bright for a successful career. It is most fortunate that this move. ment at its beginning had the assistance of Mrs. Nellie McClung, the brilliant Western woman, and also of Rev. Dr Pidgeon, recently of British Columbia. These two speakers, by telling the actual facts of the great temperance advance in the West, are doing much to encourage the people of Ontario to wipe out the liquor traffic here. guNII PUBLIC NOTICE' Notice is hereby given that I will not be responsible for any goods or articles purchased •in my name unless accom- panied by a written order.
