THE KING'S MESSAGE. "If the people of this Province had to -day an opportunity of voting the 1'►geor traffic out of business until the close of the war they would do .it by en overwhelming majority. There isn't one man out of a dozen put would ac- cept that statement. And not only would the pe$ple do that, but they feel very strongly that it ought to be done. So that it is a little hard on temper and patience to be calmly told by the Pre- mier that he and his Government are not even thinking of doing that or any- thing else beyond the ordinary and usual. It would seem that once again. the good is going to prove the effective obstacle to be better. The Provincial License Commission, which is doing ex- cellently in its own way, stands as the excuse in the way of the, radical, yet sane. step that the hour calls for and that the people emphatically . believe should be taken. Dare we hope that the Premier has not given this matter his final thought, and that further consideration will convince him that the emergency of the occasion calls for something more than he has been think- ing of?"—The Christian Guardian, Oc- tober 6th 1915. The German Government could not on any terms whatever have raised in America one-fifth. perhaps not even one-tenth of the sum that now stands to our credit. In spite of the clamor of the ultra -pacifists and the fury of the German propagandists the American bankers and investors have tumbled over one another to subscribe to the loan. That is not to be explained solely by the tempting character of the offer. Apart altogether from financial considerations, it is a plain demonstra- tion of American sympathies and con- fidence. It shows, as nothing else could, not only that they want us to win, hut also that they believe we shall win. —London Daily Mail. For sixty years the charge of the Light Brigade has been proclaimed in song and story as one of the supreme illustrations of military courage. And yet—what was it in comparison with many episodes of the present war? In the fight at Langemarck a company of the Winnipeg Regiment charged 216 strong. After the battle 21 were left. In the charge of the Light Brigade 607 men went forward; 198 came back. But in the fighting of the past year there have been many occasions when regiments came out of a fight with less than one-third of the men that went in; and a charge against barbed wire in front of trenches is a more appalling thing than a gallop against the old-time opposing artillery in the open.—Ottawa Journal.

Huron counties section of the Canadian Press Association held in Goderich recently, the main topic of discussion was the proposal to increase the subscription price of weekly papers in these coun- ties. A peculiarity, of the newspaper business is that it gives the public something for nothing, so much so that publishers of daily papers, which during the war have issued numerous extras. have found that they are losing money, and the more extras they issued the more they lost, because the price for which the paper sells pays for only a fraction of the cost of producing it. The cost of materia} and labor bas very largely increased in the last few years and the question of increasing the sub- scription price of„weekly papers to 81.50 is a live one. Many of our dailies have advanced their subscription terms on account of increased expenses and it looks as if the weeklies may have to follow suit. In Bruce county the 81.50 rate is being brought into effect, and certainly, taking the increased expens- es of a good weekly paperinto consider- ation, $1.50 is none too much There is no institution which does so much for a community as the press, and sometimes some people would like even to add to its functions, making it, in effect, de- tective, constable, magistrate and moral reformer, all free of reward, but should there be any loss of revenue from any stand a paper may take, these same l eople are quite willing that the paper should bear the burden. In all patriot- ic, philanthropic and progressive move- ments a newspaper is expected to and does, give a large amount of publicity without charge. A careful computa- tion by one publisher gives the cost of producing his paper as $L72 a year, and in the face of such a figure it does not look reasonable to sell the paper for $1 a year. A meeting of the publishers in the counties of Huron and Perth is to be held shortly in Stratford to con- sider the qnestion of the advisability of raising the subscription price of weeklies in these counties, and if the $1.50 a year rate should be decided on it should have the approval and support of the public at large.

The following message from His Maj- esty the.Kirg, is published in a special edition of the Canadian .Gazette, dated Oct. 25th: To niy People At this grave n oment in the struggle between my people and a highly organized enemy who has trans - greased the laws of nations and changed the ordinance that binds civilized Europe together, I appeal to you. T rejoice in my Empire's effort and I feel pride in the voluntary response from my subjects .all over the world who have sacrificed home and fortune and' life itself in . order that another may not i-herit the free Empire which their ancestors and mine have built. I ask you to make good these sacri- fices. The end isnot in sight. More niers and yet more are wanted to keep my armies in the field and through them to secure victory and enduring peace, In ancient. Slays the' darkest moment has ever produced in men of our race the sternest resolute I ask you men of all classes to come forward voluntarily and.take your share in the fight In freely responding to my ap- peal you will be giving your support to our brothers who for long months have nobly upheld Britain's past traditions and the glory of her arms. GEORGE, R. I. The Grand Trunk system has acquir- ed among ” discriminating travelers a high reputation for service, fine road- bed and splendid equipment. The of- ficial of the Grand Trunk have received during the summer tourist season --which is just ending - hundreds of letters from American travellers, who have used the company's new Transcontinental Line to from the Pacific coast. One of these letters received this week was from Mr. Thomas Shrewsbury Park- hurst, the well-known United States artist, .who is chairman of the publicity committee of Toledo, Ohio, Museum of Art. "I wish," says Mr. Parkhurst, "to express my appreciation for the ex- emplary service which it was my good fortune to enjoy on.a recent trip of over 3,000 miles by sea and rail over the system of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad. The ultimate ideals in travel are scenic, and service, and in a • broad, general way, both are attained in the ride along the Pacific coast in your steamships from Seattle to Prince Ru- pert.." s There is no mal de mer,"o_ the route is via the inside passage, and one may see a changing panorama of pine -crested- islands, which for beauty are not surpassed on this continent. This scenic beauty assumes its grandest heights as you leave the steamer and journey eastward from Prince Rupert by rail—towering, snow -clad mountains, glaciers and noble rivers, make the trip of continued delight and when coupled with,the splendid train equipment and the unfailing courtesy of its officials, it commends itself as a distinct achieve- ment in modern travel." TELEPHONE CASE SETTLED The long standing case of McKillop township against the village of Blyth regarding the running of a telephone line into Londesboro station has been settled in favor of McKillop township by the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board to which the township appealed. The decision of the Board is as follows: Between the Municipal Corporation of the township of McKillop applicant, and the Municipal Corporation of the village of Blyth respondent. The Board orders: "SERVICE' -THE MOTTO. "Service" has been adopted as the motto of the Liberal Club Federation of Ontario and many compliments' have been given the organization for its choice of a slogan. The Toronto Star, for example, in an editorial on the questign, says: — "As an optimistic sign of the times, the motto of the Liberal Club Feder- ation of Ontario, "Service" is signifi- cant. It marks a real development in political ideals and in' a definite, vivid way summarizes graphically what may be called the renaissance of idealism" in politics. "The Liberal Club Federation of Ontario, from its inception two and a half years ago has been a 'promising and often an inspiring organization. Its adoption of "Service" as a motto is consistent not only with its prospects but with its history. T -he Federation has a splendid record of actual enlist- ments for the front from its officers and members. Those who for various reasons cannot serve with the colors at present are evidently determined that through their organization they will do their share in various kinds of patriotic endeavors and activities." The Federation at, present is holding a series of .conferences to discuss further means of assisting in enter - prizes connected with the war. Within the last week conferences have been held in Hamilton and London for Central and Western Ontario respectively, and similar conferences are planned for Belleville and the County of Dundas. FOURTH TUBERCULOSIS SUNDAY IN ONTARIO CHURCHES. The date for the fourth Tuberculosis Sunday in the Churches throughout Ontario has been set for Sunday, 14th November.

Lei tl1 K Usually Gomes from Muscular Rheumatism Do not worry, about a pain in the back. The worry will do you more harm than the pains. The cause of most backaches is muscular rheuma- tism, which is painful enough, but pot fatal . Lumbago is a form of muscular rheumatism, so is a stiff neck. Suffer- ers from any form of rheumatism should keep their general health up to the highest standard by the use of a blood building tonic like Dr, Williams' Fink Pills, while taking good, nourish- ing food, without to much meat. Proper nutrition and pure blood are the best means of fighting rheumatism. Rheumatism comes from an acid in the blood, build it up, strengthen the sys- tem, and drive out the poisonous acid that causes rheumatism In this way sufferers have found complete recovery as is shown by the following case: Mrs. Samuel Childerhouse, Orillia, Ont„ says: "About three years ago I was greatly afflicted with a severe pain in the back, which I. thought at first was due to kidney trouble. I tried a number of remedies but they did not help me any, in fact the pain was growing worse, and got so bad that I was 'quite unable to do my housework. I could -not even sweep a floor. I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and 1 am glad I acted upon the advice, for before I had been taking the Pills long the pain began to subside, and under Lthe con- tinued use disappeared entirely, and I have not since been bothered with it in any way. My husband was also cured of a severe attack of indigestion by this satne medicine so that we both have much reason to be grateful for it." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six. boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. what the predisposing causes are; the immediate causes; the commonest early symptoms; how the disease may be treated and cured; how prevented; suggesting ways in which parents. children, churches, working people and every one may help in combatting the Dread Disease, and, lastly, giving particulars of the great work done by the National Sanitarium Association. 4000 Scouts and Cadets will again attend in uniform at the Churches. Both Cadets and Scouts will he on duty in the City of Toronto. Throughout the Province, apart from Toronto, Scouts only will be on duty. The boys will wear conspicuous badges, "Tuber- culosis Sunday", with a double red cross, emblem of the Crusade Against Consumption, and will distribute literature on Tuberculosis to the con- gregations as they retire from ` the morning Service.
