' STtt M: DUPLE TACK AI t THE WAY TORONTO -CHICAGO TORONTO-IVIONTREAL EDITORIAL NOTES Premier Asquith said the other day that one of the things the British nation must have in the present crisis is a proper perspective. The trouble with those who are whispering now, and who are crying that we are going to be de- feated, is that they lack this proper perspective. Nothing is truer of the present situation than that which Right Hon. C. F. G. Masterman says in a recent article in The London Chronicle: "The observer who wishes the truth should keep his attention rather on casualties than on territories. Germany can be destroyed equally in the heart of Russia, beyond Belgrade, or within the boundaries of France. So long as the daily toil of death and wounds goes on, so long we are every day nearer the inevitable end."—Ottawa Free Press. Patronage, middlemen, high prices and sub -contracting reigned supreme in the early days under direct Govern- ment purchasing, as the disclosures before the Public Accounts Committee and the Davidson Commission establish. And now the purchasing of shells and munitions in Canada has been taken ,out of the hands of the Canadian authorities and "placed under the direct authority and control of the British Ministry of Munitions." It would seem that purchasing under the Dominion Governmeit auspices is inseparable from profiteering. — Winnipeg Free Press.

ROWELi. ON THE WAR. CANADA'S LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY Mr. Rowell's speaking engagements on the war within the last week include an address delivered at a complimentary dinner tendered hive by the Montreal Reform Club and one given to the Young People's Society of Shear Hash- omayim of Montreal, a recruiting meet- ing at Windsor in connection with the formation of an Essex Ooanby Batta- lion, and an address in London before the Older Boys' Conference. The Montreal Herald described Mr. Rowell s speech before the Montreal Reform Club as a "recruiting speech which should find its place into every Canadian home." At Windsor Mr. Rowell addressed an audience composed of Canadians of both French and English origin from the County of Essex and made an appeal to all Canadians, irrespective of racial origin, and on",Are grounds of their com- mon Canadian citizenship to join the colors. "Our gallant Canadian sons," he said, "of both British and French origin, have on the plains of Europe, fighting in a common cause, sealed with their blood a covenant which should bind together the two great races in Canada." Mr. Rowell said that the people of Canada would n:. t permit any small nationalist movement here, whether represented outside the government or inside the government, as Mr. Lavergne suggests, to deter, them from doing their duty as Canadian citizens in this supreme hour, and the people of Canada of both British and French origin would unite as Britons and Boers in South Africa had united to fight for the com- mon cause of liberty and justice. At London Mr. Rowell expressed the hope that representatives of India should be asked to meet with the Imperial Conference this year in a war se 'sion. He thought that such an in- vitation to India would stir the imadina- In competing for the markets of the world there is no branch of industry that exceeds in importance that of live stock breeding and raising. Paraphras- ing the old Jingo cry, "we have the land, we have the will and we have the climate." What is needed is the means, and ever more means, and simultaneous- ly the ways of marketing. However divergent in views and theories people ,may be, it cannot be denied that they are all united in a common effort to improve both agricultural and industrial conditions. In helping the one the other is being aided. The interests are inextricably involved. If either is especially prosperous both ultimately must be, although one may feel the benefits of extra demand and high prices before the other. In the past few years especially, all the provinoial governments as well as the Federal government have bent much of their energies towards the im- provement and extension of agriculture. While a deal of scientific effort has been devoted to the cultivation of the land and improvement of productions of the soil. sight has not been lost of the needs and necessities of that other branch of inestimable worth—live stock, meaning thereby horses, cattle, sheep and swine. In the latter' direction pure bred. animals have recently been placed in various districts where their services were previously difficult to obtain, the registration of pedigrees has been nationalized, systematized and subsidiz- ed, grants towards greatly liberalizing the premiums at exhibitions have been made, a special branch has been established in connection with the Ex- perimental Farm system at Ottawa to investigate the cause of disease, to give counsel, to breeders and to control out- breaks of infectious or contagious ail- ments, judges and lecturers have been appointed free of cost, cold storage faci;ities have been arranged and re- frigerator cars equipped and paid for, grants have been made tinder the tremendously beneficial Agrioeltural Instruction Act with its ten million dollar attachment, f,pr the encourage_ ment of veterinary edusatioe and re• search and everything possible has been done for the development and increase of co-operation. tion and still quicken the devotion of the more than three hun- dred millions of people in India who had already shown such loyalty and sacrifice }C.

In ancient times notions at war elasa. ed their neighbor's as Otter nlitez, Or enemies, writes Herbert W. Bowen, Neutrality as au international relation was not recognized, There were no neutral rights and no neutral duties. International law itself existed only in a very rudimentary form. It was not until' after the fall of Rome and until the nations of Eu- rope had become numerous and were asserting and exercising comparatively equal prevention and power that their interests became, so conflicting that they'peroeived the necessity of estab- lishing and supporting a system of law that must be applicable to them in their relations one with another. Gro- tius (1583-1645), the so called fattier of international law, published in 1025 his famous book, "De Jure Belli et Paces," which defined and described the laws of war and peace. Of neutrals, whom he called middlemen .in war, he hid but little to say. Bynkershoek, who was born twenty- five years after the peace of West- phalia was signed and wino was one of the most distinguished successors of Grotius, was, if not the first, at least among the first o -Y publicists to define and explain neutrality authoritatively and to give to it a permanent ..Ind• prominent place in the law of nations. —Case and Comment. Important and valuable as are and have been the efforts above enumerat- ed in the interests of live stock breed- ing the devotion of the Federal depart- ment and the Provincial departments has been by no means limited to them. In fact as far as present human ken can travel little has beets left undone. But one of the greatest lines of endeav- or has yet to be mentioned, namely the improvement of marketing and trans- portation facilities. While this object has never been lost sight of, constant attention having been bestowed upon it in various ways, it remained for the present Dominion Minister of Agri.ul- ture to take the matter boldly into his own hands and, with the assistance of a capable staff, to devise a policy calcu- late 1 to lead to definite, distinct and permanent advancement. Without in- f quiry and investigation nothing can 'be methodically and satisfactorily accom- plished. With this principle in view a marketing co:nmission was appointed, the duties of which were to ascertain advantageous points of sale and to ef- fect and bring about the most conven- ient and ecomical arrangements for dis- ! posal, shipment and carriage to des- tination. It was in following this policy negotiations were carried on for the purchase by the British government of six and a half million pounds of meat i anned in Canada. Patrons of cream gathering cream- eries frequently complain of the vari ations which occur in the percentage of the test r a revealed h e of the c cam fat 9 v delivered from time to time. These Variations have given rise to more or less dissatisfaction on the part of the RHEUMATISM ARRESTED DEATH -ON THE GUILLOTINE. A Surprise For Sardou at an Execu- tion He Attended. ''Sardou in oder to be present at the execution of Tropman in.January, 1875, spent the night before with • L• a Ro- quette, the prison director. In his de- scription he says: "At daybreak ,the guests went out upon the cold. bleak execution place, where the guillotine bad already been erected. The bedraggled crowd, which had spent the night in drinking places, sang ribald songs and from time to time shouted- for Deibler, the execu- tioner, who meanwhile was explaining the mechanism. "The basket in which the head was to drop was larought, and while looking at it I was horrified to see the lid arise and ti huu an form emerge. 'Don't worry,' said Deibler with'a smile; 'that is only my wife. who wanted to see the execution, and I- chose the simplest way to secure a good place for her.'r" Clemeneeau saw Emile Henry decapi- tated ecapitated on May 22, 1804, in his capacity as a journalist, and describing how the culprit ritwas dram ed to •the machine, strapped upon the plonk and there tor- tured by awaiting the pleasure of Deibler till the knife finally ended it all, said that int "borrsr of it" made him sick. The Caspian Son. The Caspian sea le as Ilerodotus said 2,000 years ago, "a sea by irtself, having no connection with any ether." Every schoolboy knows that now, but it is remarkable to find Herodotus saying so, because centuries after his time such authorities as Strabo and Pliny believed that it was connected with the northern ocean by a long 'and nar- row gulf. Geography seems to have had a setback in the interval. through false information received at the time of Alexander's conquests. Herodotus says that the Caspian's length was fifteen days' voyage with a rowboat, its breadth eight days'. Since the actual figures are 750 miles and 400, this shows that a rowboat of the time did fifty miles a day.—London Graphic. HOW TO IURk B kU1A ► tsM The Disease is ill the Blood and Must Be Treated Through the Blood There are almost as many ways of treating rheumatism as there are doc- tors. Most of these treatments are directed at the symptoms and are con- sidered successful if they relieve the pain and the sickness. But the pain and, the stiffness return particularly if the patient has been exposed to damp- ness. This shows that the poison was. not driven from the system by the treatment employed. Rheumatism can be relieved in a number of ways, but there isonly gne way to cure it, and that is through the blood, expelling the poisonous acid that causes the aches, and pains and stiffness. To re- new and enrich the blood there is no medicine can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills which go right to the root of the trouble and cure rheumatism to stay cured. The following is an example of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can do in cases of this kind. Mr. Henry Smith, St. Jerome, Que., says;—"For upwards of a year I was a victim of rheumatism in a most painful form. The trouble was located in my legs and for a long time was so bad that I could not walk, The suffering which I endured can only be imagined by those who have been similarly afflicted. Doctors' treatment did not help me and then I began trying other remedies but with no better results. Finally I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and although I had begun to lose faith in medicine, d finally deciel d to give the pills a trial. I am very graleful now that I did so, for after taking eight boxes of the pills the tnoubia completely disappear- ed, I am very grateful now that I did so, for after taking eight boxes of the pills the trouble completely disappear- ed, I was free from pain and could walk as well as ever I did in my life, I have since taken. the pills occasionally as a precautionary measure and I cannot speak too highly in their.tfavor. You can eet Dr. Williams' Pink Pills throxgb any. medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six Foxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Many people suffer the tortures of lame meselesand stiffened joints because of im- purities in the blood, and each succeeding attack seems more acute until rheumatism( has invaded the whole system. 'I'o arrest rheumatism it is quite as im- portant to improve your general health as to purify your blood, and the cod liver ail in Scott's Banulsion is nature's great brood -maker, while its medicinal nourish. meat strengthens the organs to expel the impurities and upbuild your strength. in and raisin she in and sellin 1 Scott's Emulsion le helping thousands g g pp g g .

Divorce, as well as marriage, has its little ironies. A society woman, who has just in- stituted proceedings for release from the double yoke, was discussing her case with a friend. "I don't think I know this lawyer who is going to represent you," ob- served the visitor, running over the name in her mind. "Oh, you must knew him," returned the hostess with animation. "Don't you remember the good looking fellow who sang 'Oh, Perfect Love,' at my wedding?"—Lippineott's. PAYING RENT. For seven years, in discontent, I leased a humble cot; it kept me busy paying rent—it also kept, me hot. Each month for seven weary years, I coughed up twenty bones, I handed the coin wilth tears, and deep, heartrending groans. Wee landlord lived in princely state and when I went to him, and said, "Old scout, the garden gate is badly out of trim; the dog -gone roof) in the rain, lets each window has a ir broken pane, the doors will riot stay shut," he answered me, "The times are had, and growing worse, I trow; I simply cannot spare a scad . to fix that cabin now," At last I bought a lowly .shack, that, measured two by four, with rainpipes running up the back, a latch string to each door. Now if the roof is sagging down, or holes are in the stairs, I chase no landlord through the town, beseeching for repairs. I take my jimmy and my ax, my shotgun and my spade, and plug the holes and fix the cracks, without a landlord's aid. And there's a pleasure simply great, a sacred sort of glee, in working round your own estate. however small it be. —Walt Mason. Why She Hurrahed. During the last G. A. R. encampment there was one woman amid the crowd of spectators on the day of the parade who made herself conspicuous by her noisy hurrahs and excited waving of a flag as the old veterans marched past. One of the bystanders told her sharply to shut up. "Shut up yourself 1" she .retorted. "If you bad buried two husbands who had served in the war yea would be hur- rahing too."—Ilvetybody's.
