ELLIOTT, PuBatsuEt¢ AND Paol•tEToit• THURSDAY OCTOBER 24. 1912. ONTARIO LIBERALS IN GOOD FORM. DETROIT'S DIVORCE MILL. "Only six cities in the United States have a worse divorce record than De- troit. In Detroit there is one di- vorce for every nine marriages." This astounding statement was made by Rev. T. W. Young, recently in his serman on "Divorce and Remarriage," at the North Baptist Church, Detroit, the ninth and last address in a series on "Marrying and Giving in Marriage, He said; - "The growing evil of easy divorce at the present time is one of the greatest menaces to our homes, and to human welfare. The average length of mar- ried life in the United States before divorce occurs is just a trifle more than nine years. On an average one couple out of every ten become divorced in some states as low as one out of seven, Only six other cities in the United States have a worse divorce record than Detroit. In Detroit there is one divorce for every nine marriages. In 1910 there were granted 948 divorces. In eleven months of 1911 there were granted 1,002 divorces. On January 1, 1910, there were pending before the courts of Michigan 16,046 petitions for divorce, of this number 5,596 petitions were filled during that year. On an average, in Michigan, nine divorces are granted every day of the week. The divorce problem of Michigan is also the problem of other states and concerns the whole nation. "The Windsor marriage mill produces grist for Detroit divorce mill. Almost every city has its "Gretna Green" to which superficial and silly people go to begin their ill-considered married life and then later fly to the divorce court to get their silly deed undone. The already lax divorce laws are loosely ad- ministered by some of the courts. Di- vorces are easily obtained on trivial and inconsequential grounds. This fact is responsible for many divorces. The fact that Less than two per cent. of the applications for a divorce are denied is a serious commentary upon the records of the divorce courts," [Stratford Beacon.] Ontario Liberals are regaining activ- ity and courage. This was shown at the annual meeting of the Reform As- sociation of Ontario held in Toronto .on Tuesday of last week. The meeting was privileged in having both the Do- minion and the Provincial leaders pres- ent to enthuse those in attendance. The veteran chieftain, Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier, could not but be in an optimistic mood as he had just returned from a triumphant tour through this Province, and this spirit of enthusiasm and re- turning hope seems to have communi- cated itselt to the meeting, just as it has communicated itself to Liberals everywhere thtoughout the Province. Sir Wilfrid has the same platform in Ontario as in Quebec, and in the latter he lost fifteen seats upon this account. "But since I have become leader of the Liberal party it has become my con- stant endeavor to stand upon grounds which I could defend in Quecec or in Ontario, and upon which I could appeal to all British subjects," declared Sir Wilfrid. Though he had lost these seats, he said he had nothing to regret, but would do it again to -morrow and win back upon it. Sir Wilfrid is false- ly charged with having one policy for one Province and another for another. The consistency of his policy and the inconsistency of that of his opponents is bound in time to win back for him a large share of support in Ontario. Mr. Rowell, leader of the Ontario Opposition, received an exceedingly cordial reception. He was able to tell of having accomplished something at the head of his little band of twenty- two in the Legislature. Sir James Whitney, who professed to be so im- movable, had yielded to the pressure of the Opposition and abandoned the pol- icy of placing the Hydro -Electric ser- vice under a Government to adopt a more progressive policy in regard to Northern Ontario, to nominate a Com- mission to inquire into the question of an eight-hour day for underground min- ers, and to propose more advanced temperance legislation. In the matter of tax reform Sir James Whitney had remained obdurate, but had yielded to pressure in regard to better measures for the public health, and promised next session to bring down an adequate measure for compensation for injuries to workmen. Mr. Rowell intimated that he would continue to fight Sir James Whitney on the question of usurping the powers of Parliament in regard to the expenditure of the $5,- 0)0,000 grant to Northern Ontario until those rights were restored. Mr, Row- ell has made such a good record for himself during his first session in the Legislature, and presents such a pro- gressive policy that Liberals every- where in the Province are rallying back to the standard of their party, while other electors are becoming tired of the unprogressive and domineering pol- icy of Sir James Whitney. Mr. George Jeffrey, farmer, was in- stantly killed on a Michigan Central crossing in Mersea township, when his runaway horses were struck by a spec- ial. Geo. Chambers of Blyth is trying a new experiment. He is in the coal business and finds he can get all the furnace coal he wants but very little nut coal. He therefore has engaged a stone -breaker owned by the town of Clinton and is going to see if he cannot cut up furnace coal into stove coal. THOUGHT SHE WOULD SURELY DIE IIAD PAINS AROUND THE HEART AND SMOTHERING FEELINGS Mrs. Wm. Lee, Uhthoff, Ont., writes: -- "1 have taken three boxes of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, and am now well. I had Such pains around my heart tubi such smothering feelings that I thought I would surely die. My head used to be propped up with pillows to keep snc from. isfnothering. Ont day I rad in a paper about your Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, and three boxes cured me."

Prof. Price, of the Ohio College of Agriculture, writing in the Breeders' Gazette, of Chicago, says the Hungar- ian Government owns a 40,000 acre farm, valued at $200 per acre, which represents a total investment of $12,- 000,000. This farm was first establish- ed in 1785, the principal object at that time being the production of horses for military purposes. This is one of the chief objects of the farm still. The foundation stock of these horses, is found in the Arabian and English thor- oughbred. There are between two and three thousand horses on the farm at present of which 500 are brood mares and about 50 stallions. In recent years the farm has been used for the produc- tion of a superior class of stock in other lines as well as horses. There are 2,000 pure bred cattle on the farm, principal- ly of the Simenthal breed, the founda- tion stock of which was obtained from Switzerland. Bulls 16 to 18 months of age are sold from the farm for the pur- pose of improving stock in the hands of private holders, at around $150 each. Three thousand three hundred acres of the farm is devoted to growing of sugar beets. There is a hemp factory off the property which uses up the pro- duct of 1,500 acres of hemp. There is a brick factory also, which turns out two to three million bricks a year. The total number of people employed on the place is 10,000, and the estab- lishment has its own shcools and churches, seventeen teachers and three ministers being regularly employed. The farm yields a profit of 5 per Cent, on the investment which is better than is obtained in the average big private estate in Hungary. London Bridge cost over two and a quarter millions to construct. A Missourian has patented a trolley system for conveying electric power to aeroplanes. A machine for removing weeds and other underwater growth from streams has been invented in France, A new German aeroplane propeller is built of leather upon a nickel steel frame the claim being that it is indes- tructible.

By a physician in London Advertiser, Typhoid fever is due to the typhoid bacillus. Man is the only animal that has it. The bacilli find their way into the hu- man body exclusively through the mouth. Milk and water are two of the chief typhoid carriers. Air or wound infections do not have to be considered. Therefore food -and particularly raw foods -should be care- fully guarded. Typhoid may last from four to six weeks and much longer if there are complications. Those usually met with are; Secondary infections, particularly pneumonia, inflammation of veins, in- flammation of glands, perforations and secondary peritonitis and hemorrhages. A tired teeling and some aching are usually the first symptoms which ap- pear after the bacilli have been in the intestines at least ten days. Constipation and fever follow, and when the temperature is taken it will probably be over 100. It generally takes a weak from the time the fever starts to be fairly cer- tain of the diagnosis. A person having typhoid fever should get the best medical and nursing ser- vice he can, and then obey orders absolutely. Equanimity is necessary when one has typhoid fever. There should be no worrying and no fretting. The attitude should be one of accepting and trust- ing, and if you have secured the best of aid it will be comparatively easy to follow this course. The old-fashioned, long-drawn-out typhoid has practically been eliminated through precaution and care. The next step is to prevent the disease by remov- ing the causes. Then what is the man to do who has not had the disease and proposes to keep clear of it? In ordinary times be careful of the water. Do not drink any raw milk unless you are sure the source is safe. Do not let others peel fruits and vegetables to be eaten raw if you can do it yourself. If you cannot prepare them yourself and are not sure how 'the work is done or by whom, eat the cook- ed vegetables and fruit, Cook oysters and clams unless cer- tain about them. Do not eat food where flies abound. Wash your own hands before eating. Insist that others should have clean hands when preparing the food. If a cook is employed see that he or she has not had typhoid recently (with- in the last six months), or has not been in places where there was typhoid. Long before the British preference was suggested by the Laurier adminis- tration the Conservative leaders sought to have the old German and Belgian treaties denounced in order to establish fiscal preferences in favor of Great Britain and the other British communi- ties. British ministers refused to de- nounce the old treaties and Canada was helpless until the Laurier administra- tion came into office and Great Britain finally agreed to terminate those dis- abling fiscal conventions. - Toronto News, Conservative, THANKSGIVING.

Text of the Leeson, Mark vii, 31, to viiIR 10 -Memory Verses, 34, 35 --Golden Text, Mark vii, 37 --Commentary Prepared by Rev, D. M. Stearns. Departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, where He bad comforted the mother's heart and honored and commended her faith, He returned to the sea of Galilee, a journey of forty or fifty miles, but nothing Is said of the journey. How little we think of His long walks from one part of the coun- try* to another. It is easy to travel tui our day, and there is a vast amount of it done, but very few do it on foot and for Him, yet I do know some mission, cries who are very like Him in this re- spect. Verses 32 to 37 of our lesson are recorded only by Mark and tell• of the healing of a deaf and dumb man. Some are dumb because they cannot speak and others are dumb because they will not speak. It is sometimes wise for those whop can both hear and speak to be as if they were both deaf and dumb (Pa. xx::viii, 13). Too many are dumb be- cause they do not feel constrained to speak. Their remedy may be found MI Ps. xxxix, 3; Ezek. Ili, 27; Jer. xx, 8, 9. If any are inclined to plead slowness, of speech or the inefficiency of youth they may be helped by Ex. iv, 12; Jer. i, 7-0. All need that which our Lord. commended in Acts i, 8; see a result in Acts iv, 31. All may conte unto Him, and He knows at once a right way for each. His way with this particular man was unique, but it must have been the right way for him. He took Iiim aside from the multitude. He of- ten tales us aside that He may cause us to hear or see or know something He could not otherwise teach us. It la blessed to be taken aside with Him. I like the verse which says that "wet should Iive together with Him" (1C Thess. v, 10), We have read of many being healed by touching Him or tbei heir of His garment, but see His fin- gers on this plan's ears and tongue, and instantly he could hear and speak plainly. Was the power in His touch" or in the words "Be opened," or in both? More important for me to bel able to say that He hath touched me and hath spoken to me, and taught mei to say "He bath done all things well." Just here Matthew records that He went up into a mountain and sat down, and great multitudes came to Him bringing the lame, blind, dumb, maim- ed and others and cast them at His feet, and He healed them, and they glorified the God of Israel (Matt, xv, 30, 31). When Israel came out of Egypt there was not one feeble among their tribes, and when the kingdom comes the inhabitant shall not say, "/ am sick." "There shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, nei- ther shall there be any more • pain." "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them nor any heat," (Ps. cv, 37; Isa. xxxlii, 24; xlix, 10; Rev. vii, 16; xxi, 4). Do you wonder that Jesus told them of such a kingdom as He fed them and healed them? What can we think of those who know of such a, kingdom and are doing nothing to make It known to others who might be glad to become inheritors of it if they only knew about it and knew hove to become heirs to it? . Returning to the record in Mark, we read that the multitudes had been with Him three days with nothing to eat, and some had come long distances, so He had Compassion upon them and said to the disciples, "If I send them away fasting they will faint by the way." Did He really care and does He care if we are faint and weary? Oh, yes, He cares: I know he cares. It matters to Him even about sparrows, and he clothes the lilies. The disciples) seem surprised at Hill remarks and ask, Whence can >A man satisfy these with bread here in the wilderness? Well, that depends upon the man. An ordinary man could not, but who is this man? Had they forgotten that ao re- cently they bad taken food from His hands to more than 5,000 People and had seen Him control anti,' subdue t great storm? Yes, it is the old story of Pe. lxxvitl: "They forgot,His'work5r and His wonders that He had showed them. They maid, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?"
