EDITORIAL NOTES WHAT DRIVES MAN TO DRINK.
Canada's net debt is now almost up
to the half -billion mark. On the 31st
of October it stood at $492,528,432, an
increase of $7,686,858 during the month,
and of $139,853,093 during the past
twelve months. During that period the
war expenditure has been approximate-
ly $105,000,000. The increase in the
national debt during the twelve months
due to the excess of domestic expendi-
ture over revenue has been, therefore,
about $35,000,000. The revenue for the
first seven months of the present fiscal
year has been $87,883,848, an increase
of nearly seven millions as compared
with the corresponding period of last
year.
Surprise and annoyance are express-
ed by the German Government that
such publicity has been given to its
shooting of Miss Cavell, and that in
other nations resentment is at white
heat against the perpetrators of the
crime. The incredibly inane palaver
from Berlin is utterly futile as a palli-
ative. The direct effect has been to
send thousands of men into the ranks
of the British forces --her martyrdom
is the making of the armies "How
long, 0 Lord, how long?” Nobody has
time to listen to what Germany says
about this latest outrage. The deep
damnation of the taking off thunders
above an apology that is not even spec-
ious —Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The aggregate trade for the 12 -month
period ending with August was $1,137,-
933,480, as compared with a total of
$1,063.908,233, an increase of $74,027,-
247. The increase disappears when
imports and exports of merchandise
alone are considered, the movement of
coin and bullion having been unusually
large this year and exceeding that of
the year by $171,568,086. Imports have
dropped and exports have soared. Im-
ports from the United Kingdom have
declined from $114,305,185 to $75,123,-
861, while exports to the United King-
dom jumped from $218,254,968 to $251,-
021,871. Trade with tbe United States
has increased all round, imports rising
from $373,802,116 to $406,947,167 and
exports from e209,033,603 to $281,564,-
412.

The greatest curse of Canada today
is political bigotry, prejudice and sus-
picion. Nothing of a public nature can
be said or done without a lot of little
suspicion -mongers setting to work to
dig up a partisan motive to explain it.
To such great dimensions has this evil
grown that it is almost dangerous to
admit patriotism Everyone is sus-
pected of having an axe to grind. If a
man achieves distiuction in the public
service, be did it through "pull". if a
man advocates a wise policy, it is at
once asked what he expects to get out
of it. If a man opposes an unwise
policy, it is at once whispered. "He
must be sore. He must have had a
quarrel. He ie out to knife someone."
We get this miserable mental attitude i
revealed at every turn. It is a mental
c andition that prevents more surely
than anything else the developing of a
real nation. the developing of a real
national spirit, tbe developing of sound
pleas, and the developing of r: ally big 4

Are Due to Poor Blood and
Only Curable Through the
Blood
To the Editor:—
The Literary Digest, September 18,
1915, has an article under the above
caption, the first sentence of which
reads, "The impulse to drunkenness is
disease." After pointing out that men
drink for various reasons, it says that
those who"Drink to get drunk are abnor-
mal; they are diseased " This fact has
been brought out distinctly in the
psychopathic laboratory of the Chicago
Municipal Court. Judge Olson of the
Court says, "We have yet to find the
first case of the kind where there is not
a tendency to epilepsy, dementia prae-
cox, manic depressive insanity, or
feeble mindedness." All this ineans
that the man who frequently gets
drunk is of unsound mind and should be
so treated, In the state of Kansas
they send chronic drunkards to an
asylum for the insane. In Ohio they
have an institution to which the habitual
drunkard may be sent by the judge on
application by the friends until he is
considered cured. I knew a clever
young man who went to an asylum and
begged the Superintendent to take him
in for a year till he would have a chance
to break off. There are many such
pitiful cases for which there is no pro-
vision made notwithstanding the revenue
from the traffic that causes it.
It is a serious reflection on our civili-
zation that there is no provision made
for this class most of them the victims
of the license system. We see such
men going down for years wasting
their substance in tbe saloon beggaring
their families and becoming a nuisance
and often a menace to society and
nothing can be done to help them.
They sometimes try desperately to
break off but what hope in the presence
of the'open bar -room and the treating
custom? The physician is not allowed
to send them to any institution unless
he is very rich. There is neither hope
nor help for him till he becomes insane or
commits a crime. But what caused
this deceased condition? "The curse
causeless shall not come." Statistics
generally point to a drinking father or
grandfather. He was probably ignor-
ant of the fact that bis drinking would
injure his children and grandchildren.
Then for God's sake help us to spread
this truth far and wide that the sins of
drinking parents are visited on the
children and grandchildren.

Bjornson's Advice.
There is a story told of Bjornstjerae
Bjornson that, arriving at a late hour
at the town of Bergen. which was en
fete to receive him, he voncbsafed to
the expectant people no finer words of
wisdom than a general recommenda-
tion to go to bed.
In vain they appealed to him for
"song or sentiment." The great Bis-
marck, said he, gave the same advice
under conditions all similar, and what
was good enough for Berlin must suf-
fice for Bergen.
Three years later, on visiting the
town for the second time, the master
novelist found a deserted city. Not a
light burned In the dismal railway sta-
tion. no banners waved. no addresses
were read by portly burgomasters. In

First European Railway.
The first earriages that ran on rails
in Europe were those of a horse rail-
ri y between Linz and Budweis. in
Austria. This woe; in working order
in 1'2T. Locomotire railways were
unudh longer coming. The first line in
a modern sense was opened from Pails
to St. Germain in 15:,5, but railway de-
relopment was greatly hindered by a
terrible accident on the Paris -Versailles
line in 1&1" The next was the Brus-
sels :Valines line in Belnam. Belgium
was also the first country to begin, in
1830. cystematie plans for a national
network of railways. Prussia followed
in 153= and Anstria-Hungary in IS38.
The first great trunk line in Europe
was from Paris to Rouen. opened in
May. 1843.
There is an excellent reason why Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills have cured the
most severe cases of neuralgia, sciatica
and other complaints in the group
known as disorders of the nerves. This
group also included nervousness and ex-
citability. Each of these complaints
exists because the nerves are notgetting
a proper nourishment from the blood.
The reason why Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills cure nervous disorders is because
they make the rich, red blood upon
which the nerves depend for proper
tone. It is thus seen that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills cure nervous disorders because
they go to the root of the trouble in the
blood, and while they are doing this
they strengthen and fortify the whole
system against disease. Among the
many who have found relief from pain
through this great medicine is Miss
Ethel Smith, residing near Burford,
Ont , who says:—"Some years ago I
was seized with a great pain in my
right leg, between the hip and knee.
It became so bad that I got no rest,
day or night, and often cried with the
pain. ' The doctor said the trouble was
rheumatism of the sciatica nerve. Lin-
iments were used until they actually
took the skin off, and still the pain
grew worse and worse. Then all the
other nerves in the limb seemed to
be affected, and it kept jerking and
twitching until it would have to be
held to keep it still. Then the doctor
put the limb in a papier mache case,
but it was not long until the trouble
began in my other limb and it had to
be treated in the same way. I lay in
that condition for three years with my
whole nervous system so badly shatter-
ed that it would make me scream if any
one walked across the floor. Then my
throat became partially paralyzed and
I could scarcely speak. During this
time I had been attended by three
different doctors, who did all in their
power, but each said I would never be
able to walk again. Then my father
decided to get me Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Before I had used them long I
felt them helping me. This so encour-
aged us that the use of the pills was
continued and in a few months I was
able to walk half a mile each day to
get the mail. I used in all eighteen or
twenty boxes of the Pills and they did
what three years of doctoring had not
been able to do. I am as well as ever I
was in my life, and have had no return
of the trouble. My family and friends
think my cure was a miracle, and we
give all tbe credit to Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills."

medicine dealer or by mail, post paid.
