Labor leaders and the Labor Press want immigration stopped. Lobbyists leave been busy at Ottawa for some time picturing before members the fearful results in unemployment that would likely follow if Canada does not bar the door to immigration. The un- employutent situation is not a new problem- Winnipeg and Canada have been dealing with it annually for the past twenty years. Any excess in un- employment at the present time is due to the fact that the public stopped, buying goods made dear by too high a cost of production, in which labor figures largely, There is abundance of work In Canada and there will be plenty for everybody to do—bund- ;grans and all --for years to come. The present difficulty is that capital will not gamble on the present high cost of production. Therefore it is not the scarcity of work that Is causing; the a troublebut the scarcity of capital, The propaganda that Labor leaders have been spreading in the Labor Press is of an entirely selfish and class distinetlan, 'Tae phase of the immigration question cousidor4d by them, le how will imeuigratlon affect Labor supply, or to be moro concrete, hove will it affect wages? Labor lead- ers speak of possible Immigration ag- gregates that will likely flood Canada,' but they never eliminate the 30 to 40 per cent. of women, school children, and under, included in itnmigretion totals, that do not enter the labor mar- ket. Statistic;; show that of every twenty male immigrants over 21 year. at age, the uvora> a is about three ski:lea laborers, ten unskilled workers, and the other seven of professio:aal and miscellaneous eeeupatlens. Wbat would Canada have dorso in pr. war year without immigration? 1=.;sere will Canada be if the te.olutlon new before the Ottawa nous. "that au im- 'n(gration be suspended until a normal :ondition of affairs is established," is considered. There is a general im- aression that the only 11=i rauts L'anada needs, aro those going direct- ly .old the farms. That is true, but sill the intmlgrant coming to Canada go directly to the farm? Mr. W S. Bennett, member of the Uaitad States immigration Cnramisslon, who worked two and a half years investigating the Itaestion of immigration abroad, chat- .enges any statement that the cities are the wrong place for the immi- grant, so far as the iniu igrent is con- terned. Mr, Bennett gee.: on to say that the Immigration Commission found the !act to be that 98 per cent. of the im- migrants in a general way, and some- times* very specifically, know what employment they are going into be - :ore they leave their haloes, their wives end other dependents. The reason why the immigrant goes to the cities, Mr. Bennett explains, is that ho has e. better chance to earn a little ready money and that there are also oppor- unities for him, if he is of a foreign tongue, to talk to men of his own people, who speak his language, which Is most essential during the time that he is learning the English language and the local situation, "If the oppor tunities on the farm are greater than those offered in the city, the immi- grant will soon find it out and act ac- cordingly," says Mr. Bennett, Mr. Bennett asks the question should .anyone blame the newly ar- rived immigrant for going to the place where he fends ecnlpatriots, a place of worship, and helpful surroundings for him to get the right start in a new land. If he cannot speak English, he has an opportunity in the first few months to gain a wider knowledge of Canadian conditions from people of his own birth, who are always to be found in the cities and towns. If when the immigrant first lands he is not trained or even equipped to go cut on the prairies to settle down and get a living from the soil, what is the use of sending him out there to be- come a disgruntled and dissatisfied citizen? Immigration is a problem of great consequeuee to the people of Canada to -day. Immigration has a great influence on industry and on our prosperity which is- the basis of re- venue for the government. The pub- lic generally, should seriously protest against any governmental action whielt would prevent the entry of de• slreble ianinigration into Canada. A constructive policy of selective im- migration '»s needed and it is up to Canada to establish a constructive policy based on a careful examination of conditions here and abroad to the end that it may safeguard our in- terests and promote the general wel- fare, regardless of any one class. c,.anati t needs now people, needs them badly, on the farms and in all lines of Industrial activity where it is now almost impcssible to got men to do the great amount of necessary rough labor to keep industry moving. Certainly, there are people who ehnuld not be permitted to conte into the eouaitry', because in the very na- ture of things their adtnittauee means conflict and radical social di. turbanee in our midst. Canada already haw its shat•o of dais class, Canada Is not the congested coun- try that Labor leaders would have people think. Canada covers an area of 3,603,010 squaro miles. Now let us deduct one-third, or say 1,200,000 square miles of what might be classed fat prescut, as undesirable or unpro- ductive areas. This leaves a basis of approximately two and a half million. square miles, Canada could absorb the entire population of the British• Isles (England, Scotland and Ireland) and then ban 350 less people to the :square milo than now exists In the Old Land. Placing our present popu- lation. at 10,000,000, thaat means an. average of 4 people per square mile In Canada. The population per square mile for Great Britain and Ireland is 374. The population of France taken by the census of 1913, gave 40,412,220, or a population et 193 persons to the square mile. In 1912 the population of Belgium was 7,510,415, and the popu- lation per square mile was 653 per- sons. The population of the German Empire in Europe its 1911, was 60,100,- 000, or a population of 311 to the square mile. In. face of the above, Is there any wonder why the people of Great Bri- tain, of France, and of Belgium, Surnames and Their Origin DAVIS Variations—David, Davidson, Davi- son, Davie, Davies, Davey, Davers, Davye, Dayson, Days, Day, Dawson, Dawkins, Dawkinson, Dakins, Dav- idge, Dow, MacDavid, MacDaid, Mac - Dade, Kay, Dodd, Dodson. - Racial Origin—English and Celtic. Source—A given name. Front the foregoing list of variations it looks almost as if every family name beginning with :`D" belongs to the Davis group. As a matter of fact David has given rise to an exception- ally large number of family names, be- cause it was a far more popular given name in the Middle rages than it is to- day. These family names come in the first place from the unchanged name David, giviug,.us, by the various pro- cesses of adding "son," cutting it 'down to a mere "s" and the elisionof the final "d" iia some cases, Davis, David, Davidson, Davison, Davie, Davies, Davers, etc. ` But a most _ widespread variation of the given name in the Middle Ages was "Daw," derived from the pronun- ciation of the name with the broad "a" (like Daw-vid). The long "a," as in "day" is a development of modern English. This variation gave rise to the family names of Dawson, Dawkin- son ("little Daw's sols") and Dawkins. The broad "a" pronunciation also sometimes. led to Dodd and Dodson, though these names" are more com- monly ascribed to the old Anglo-Saxon given name of "Dada" or "Dodd." The given name of David also had a strong hold in Scotland of the Mid- dle Ages, and was borne by a number of the Scottish kings, where it is to be found, principally among branches of the Clan Chattan Confederacy, in the Celtic forms of "Maclehais," "Claim Daibhaidh" and "Cuann Da'idh," whence the 'Anglicized forms of MacDavid, MacDaid, Macdade and Kay. The English forms of Davie, Davis, Dawson, Dow also, are found as septs of this clan, known to -day as Davidson. The family name of. Davidge is simply a variation in spelling and pro- nunciation of Davids. � � mil ' Its Really AmazingI theamount of nourishment t • you'll Find. in a.small .

Anaemia is the medical terns for titin, watery blood. The sufferer loses strength, becomes short of breath and complains of palpitation of the heart after the alightest exertion, such as walking up stairs. The lightest task becomes a burden. There is a lose et' ambition, the victim lases weight and as the disease progresses the ap- petite is affected, color fades from cheeks and lips and fainting spells may occur. Anaemia is not a disease that cor- rects itsalf, and if unchecked it pro- gresses steadily. But it can be com- batted by good food, fresh air and a proper tonic for the blood. As the blood becomes rich and red under this treatment, the symptoms disap- pear as in the case of Miss Evelyeen Joyce, Westville, N,S., whose mother says: 'Almost from infancy my daughter was very delicate, and was often under the doctor's care. As her father had died of consumption my friends feared she would fall a vic- tim to that dread disease. As the years wont by and she was merging into womanhood I began to fear that T would lose her. Then. I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I could soon see a change for the bet- ter. For the next three years, at in- tervals, she took the pills, always with the best of results. Now at the age of sixteen she is a fine healthy girl, and I never tire of telling those who see the wonderful change in her condition that she owes it to Dr. Wil- liams' Pink. Pills." Miss Joyce herself says; "It gives me pleasure to confirm the state- ments made by my mother. Since using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I have gained in weight, and from a sickly girl, suffering from headaches, dizzi- ness and a languid feeling, I am now as well as other girls of my age, and I owe. -it all to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Dr, Williams' Pink Pills 'can be ab- tained through any medicine dealer, or by mall, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr: Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Flagship of Britain Saves a Dying Child. The great battleship Queen Eliza- beth, Admiral Beatty's• flagship of the Grand Fleet, saved the life of a tiny babe of the same name in the Bay of Biscay. recently by answering a. call from the steamship Venetian, which was bound homeward. A mother sat rocking her baby, who was i11, the woman having been up constantly without sleep for a week, when the gray outline of the warship was sight - ,ed. The child's life was ebbing rapid- ly when the warship was signalled for help. The Venetian stopped and the man - o' -war drew to within a quarter of a mile of her and launched a boat which, despite the heavy sea, reached the steamship, and a doctor from the Queen Elizabeth boarded her. He was able to save the life of the infant. • The mother said she would change the baby's name to that of the man -o' - war, but when she was informed that the ship was the Queen Elizabeth she said that the child's name would re- main unchanged. • Ancient History.
