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.

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 R mete—Winnipeg Telegram rain Bjornson asked for a cab.

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. H. Arnott, l\I. B.. M. C. P. S. 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 Las. F. IS. Gs.h.atl i t, .• c Agent. Phone 4.W.F. BURG A I,Station E gtnt.

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." You can get. these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail, post paid. at 50 cents a -box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
