The Turkish forces greatly uteembered the Bulgaria,ns, the tter not exoeeding 150,000, maay having been left investing Adrian- ople. The etestern wing of the Turkish army, at Viza, was able to main- tain its ground at first against the Bulgarian troops, bat could gaiu tee succese and, after three days' Aghting, fled.

Like thousands of others, the drag -caffeine -in coffee was slowly but steadily undermining her nerv- ous system and interfering with natural digestion of food. (Tea is just as injurious OA coffee because it ocentains caffeine, the poisonous drug' found in coffee.) "For 30 years," she writes, "I have used coffee.

AUDITOR'SSIRONCRITICISM 1ts,,,,,,94T ON TORONTO IICYDRO. lilLECTRIC COMMISSION. Civie (Metal Points Out Apparent Deficit -Mayor Make$ Reply. The 'city of Toronto auditor's re- pdrt upon the finanees of the Muni - mina Hydre-Electrio Power Corn - mission for the period from June 1911, to June 30, 1912, was present- ed to the City Council Oct, 14. It says that at the close of 1911 an unadjusted balance of $10,- 795.62 was earried forward, How- ever, it declares that the making of a good inventory disclosed a shortage .of $113,477.40 between the amount standing in the books and the aetual amount of stores on hand, The report declares that it was apparently decided to Charge the whole of the working defieit on the books of 1911 to construction ac- count. "Entries were GOnSeqUelltly made," says the report, "charging the several construction aocounts with a pro rata percentage of the total deficit as found. amounting to $117,803,35." This sum, it explaing, is obtained after erediting the in- come earned during the period and in addition to it there is an out- standing capital charge due the Provincial Hydro -Electric Power Commission amounting to $248,245-- 80.

The City Auditor is of the opin- ion that a portion of the $117,803 should have been carried forward as a charge against future earnings. He gives a general review of the figures for the six months ending June 30, 1912. He reaches the con- clusion that there was a deficit of $85,642.31 on the operations of the period. His statement of operat- ing expenses and earnings is as fol- lows :- Wages, material, etc........$213,674 85 Current, etc. ........ 76,522 61 Carried to credit of depreciation reserve ...... ..1...„ 35,027 16 Accrued sinking fun i (half year) 21,274 28 Taterest on bonds and advances (one -hall charged to revenue).. 36,305 92 $382,804 82 Earnings.......... 297,162 51 The auditor calls 'attention to the fact that for the half year preceding June 30, 1912, no amount had been provided to meet aeorued sinking fund charges, but that an item of $50,888 had been written into the balance sheet to cover the amount. Added to the deficit this made a total of $136,530 to be carried for- ward against future earnings. In addition, $36,305, the remainder of the"interest account, would have to be a,dded to capital account. The City Auditor thinks that such items should be charged directly to rev- enue. Treating them in this, way, the present position, he says, would be:- • Total charge to 31st Dec., 1911, as above ....$2,610,995 00 Cash from city from 31s1 Dec., 1911, to 30th June, 1912 ........ 715,000 00 Int credited by Com. 72,611 84 • Total charge to 30th June, 1912'.$3,398,606 84 Summary.

He thinks that the volume of business of the eivie electric department is, and has been, oyereetatecl. He believes that considerable saving could be made in expense aceounts, He points out that by the 'close of the year sinking fund and interest charges will have to be met out of earnings. He asks why "renewal and depreciation feeds' and "sink- ing funds" should be charged against the annual eost of the un- dertaking' and expresses the °pita ion that iTho system of purchasing electricity on the peak load plan might well be euperseded. - 1110yor Males Reply.

'keeping system of the civic commis sion had been built up under exper advice after years ei experience that the department was not over staffed, and that the system of per chase of current had been decided upon by the Hydro -Electric Powe Commission of the province. Th Mayor explained that the unadjust ed balance of $16,795 at the close o 1911 represented a difference be tveeen the revenue estimated by th City Caunca'and the actual rev enue, and, in the opinion of the commission, ,should not be charged to it at all. Of the item of $113,477 described as ehortage on the stores' account, the Mayor said that it was merely a question of bookkeeping. Certain invoices were charged to stores, while as a matter of fact the goods went directly to the job and were never credited when used. A great proportion of the amount had already been traced. The Ma.yor said that the sum of $248,245 given as dite the Hydro -Electric Power Commission of Ontario was not cor- rect. The amount, which referred to the eastern entrance, -represent- ed claim' plus interest to July 1, 1912, not the amount of the claim on Dec. 31, 1911. The so-called working deficit of $117,803, he de- scribed as a technical deficiency which might properly be included in the capital cost of the undertaking. It was due, he believed, to the dis- organization introduced into the op- eration service by the concurrent demands of oonsbruction opera- tions. Analyses the Deficit. The Mayor says that the loss for the quarter ending March 31, 1912, was $55,766, and the loss for the quarter ending June 30 was only $29,873. Of the first quarter's loss, $17,056 is interest on investment, $17,065 is written off for deprecia- tion of the new plant, and $12,639 is put aside for sinking fund. The loss for the quarter ending June 30 includes also allowances for inter- est, depreciation and sinking fund. Mr. Gea.ry declared that the loss for the quarter ending September 30, the net loss was only $4,647, and this, after allowing for inter- est $20,999, depreciation $19,443, and sinking 'fund $15,000. As a matter of fact, he said the months of August and September had each shown a small profit got by civic enterprise. The gain, he asserted, was proceeding and 'the initial loss was being macre good. Business, he said, had grown wonderfully. The city had 12,000 customers and a plant which could do many times the business with little additional' cost, even for current. "We carry," he declared, "against future profits the charge for sinking fund prior to January, 1912, $50,886, and our deficit for the first nine menthe of the first year, which is not an op- erating year but rather a year of construction is $90,290, included in which is $51,470 depreciation and $36,381 for sinking fund." 30 VOLCANOES ACTIVE.

December 1st Is the D ay Set Apart for the Purpose in, Ontario. Following the worthy example; set in the United States, where Sun- day, October 27th, was observed as Tubereuksis Day in over 50,000 churches, it is proposed that Sun- day, December 1st, shall be devot- ed to a similar purpose throughout Ontario. The Inter-Denomination- aleMinisterial Association of Toron- to, representing all the Protestant ohurches of the city, have already agreed to the proposal, and appeals are now being made to the prelates of the Roman Catholic and Angli- can bodies, and to the leading cler- gymen of the other churches, to have that day generally observed throughout the, province: It is sug- gested -that in the sermons of the day, the clergy should review the work already done in fighting the white plague, outline the possibli- ties of future effort, give practical instruction as to home treatramet, and issue warnings against the use of nuraberless fraudulent, worth- less and positively dangerous so- called "cures" for tatereuIosis. Replies already reeeiv-ed indicate that the churches throughout On- tario will fall into line with the Toronto clenorainations. Tubercu- losis Sunday in the United States was endorsed by President Taft, ex -President Roosevelt, and scores of leading statesmen and church- men, and it is expected bhat the public men of Canada will not be behtindhand in ,approving of the movement here.
