B Et,LUOT1, Pont,tsuEtt ANII PROI'IETOa THURSDAY, JANUARY 23. 1.913 THE MAIN OBJECTIONS. 892,818 for the twelve months, including $4,991,416 to the Grand Trunk Pacific under the "implement" clause. Traffic shows a record gain during the year. The number of passengers car- ried was 41,I24,181, an increase of 4,- 026,463 over 1911. The number of tons! of freight hauled was 89,444,331, a gain of 9,5110,049. The traffic increase is re- flected in the gross earnings, which totalled $219,403,753, a betterment of $3+1,670,259, or a little over 1,6 per cent. In ten years the gross earnings of Ca- nadian railways have more than doubled. Operating expenses last year amounted to $150,730,540, or $19,691,494 more than in 1911. Net earnings were $68,- 677,213, an increase of $10,978,561 over the preceding year. Net earnings per mile of line last year were 2,570, as compared with $2,272 in 1911. Following are the main objections to the Borden policy as taken by Dr. Clark, M P.: 1. There have been numerable war scares in the past, all abortive. 2. The Admiralty memorandum proves that there is no emergency. 3. The same document shows that Mr. Borden had gone to England with a final policy of contribution. 4. The policy involves an abandon meat of the Imperial status quo. 5. Canada's membership on the de- fence committee means nothing. 6. The policy means the abandon meat of a permanent Canadian develop- ment. 7. Canada is embarking on a per- manent policy outside Canada. 8. This involved Canada in Europ- ean politics. 9. The outlying portions of the Em- pirewill not be strengthened. 10. The policy stultifies the Canad- ian Parliament. 11. The policy is a blow to Canadian self-government. 12. The policy outlines a new constit- utional relationship between Canada and Great Britain. 13. The policy is wholly unnecessary from a financial standpoint. 15. The policy puts the badge of in- feriority upon Canadians. Still another objection, added by the Brantford Expositor. is that the Borden policy involves a radical change in Can- ada's relations to the Empire, to be made without the people having had an op- portunity of pronouncing an opinion thereupon. Furthermore, it is a violat- ion of the premises made by the Con- servative party when in opposition, that the country's naval policy should be submitted to the electrate before being enacted. RAILWAY STATISTICS. The equipment reported in use on June 30th last shows' substantial im- provement during the year. New lo- comotives totalled 265, passenger cars 433 and freight cars 13,760. These fig- ures will be greatly bettered by the end of the present fiscal year. Oil appears for the first time in the official reports as fuel for locomotives, the consump- tion last year being 1,729,577 gallons. Railway accidents also show a con- siderable increase during they ear. The fatalities totalled 568, an increase of 73, and the number injured totalled 3,780, an increase of 451. One passenger in every 872,853 was killed and one in every 84,792 injured. Of the total kill- ed on railways during the year 47 were passengers, 215 employees, and 235 were trespassers. Passengers injured num- bered 485 and employees injured num- bered 1,606. Collisions were responsible for eighteen passengers killed and '73 injured, while 203 passengers were in- jured by derailments and ten were kill- ed and 51 injured by falling off trains. The number of railway employees grew during the year from 141,224 to 155,901, while the increment in wages was $12,685,901. A summary of railway statistics for the year ending June 30, 1912, compiled by J. L. Payne, Comptroller of Statis- tics for the Railways and Canals De- partment, and tabled in the Commons to -day by Hon. Mr. Cochrane, gives many illuminating facts as to the recent remarkable transportation development of the Dominion. During the twelve months covered by the report, 2,953 additional miles of railway were put in operation, with 1,- 738 miles more reported ready for op- eration, and 10,000 miles under con- struction. All told the railway mileage of Canada is now over 30,000, exclusive of sidings, double -tracking, etc. Elim- inating Government lines, the total cap- ital liability of Canadian railways on June 80 last was: Stocks, $770,459,351; bonds, $818,478,175, a total of $1,588,- 937,526, or $50,832 per mile. On this capital investment dividends were paid* last year totalling $31,164,791, equalling 4.04 per cent. on the total stock issue. The rapid growth in net earnings may rse gauged from the fact that in 1907 dividends totalled only $12,760,435. The generous measure of public aid to railway construction in Canada is shown by the fact that the total Federal, Provincial and municipal cash aid now totals over $208,000,000, while land grants total over 56,000,000 acres. Fed- eral and Provincial bond guarantees ag- gregate $245,070,015. of which the Do- minion's share is $91,983,553. Alberta has pledged its credit to the extent of 245,489,000; British Columbia, $38,946,- 832; 38,946;832; Saskatchewan, $32,500,000; Mani- toba, $21,899,660, and Ontario, $7,860,• 000. Cash aid to railways totalled $5, - NEVER NEGLECT A HEADACHES, Headache is not a disease in itself, brit is often a source of great suffering, and its presence is likely symptomatic of some disease lurking in the system. To get rid of the headache, and tiros prevent more serious troubles, it le absolutely necessary to cleaitie the system of all waste and poisonous matter, and keep the bowels well open the elogeing of the bowels being One of the principle causes of headache. Burdock Blood Bitters regulates tae bowels, and makes their movement free and natural. A cure for headache; a medicine, that cures where others fail. Mrs. L. Banks, Mt. Hanley, Nl.l3.,. writes: -"Several years ago I wa4 a constant sufferer from headache. 1 Watt all run down, and nothing seemed isa do roe any good. I read of Burdock Blood Bitters, and decided to give it a trial. The result was marvellous, the headache stopped entirely, and I feel better in Peery way. I can safely reeommesd B.B.B: " Manufactured eta red onl ,T by The T.lttili,urll Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. A Weak Chested Boy. "My boy Frank seemed weak -chested and took a very severe cold," writes Mrs. D. Stevens, Ninga, Man. "The many medicines used did not seem to benefit him, until we tried Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine and found it to be exactly what was want- ed to cure him." No treatment is so thorough and effective as a cure for croup and bronchitis. BETTER THAN RINGING DOOR- BELLS. A piano manufacturer recently made a house-to-house canvass. He's one of those men with an absurd fear of the "waste circulation" bugaboo -cannot get away from the haunting thought that only 10 out of every 100 readers of a newspaper may be possible buyers of his goods. So he refused to advertise, and went a -canvassing -inviting people to come to his piano recitals. Then he wondered why they didn't come. This is why: He wasn't reaching the people. His canvassers rang every door -bell in town. They talked to some one in every house. But one in every household isn't enough -particularly if it doesn't hap- pen to be the right person. And, as a rule, it wasn't the right person -it was a servant, or a child. The woman of the house was seldom seen; the man of the house, never. Now, if the piano maker had placed an ad. in the news- paper, it would have reached thousands, where the canvassers could reach only hundreds. And even though only 10 per cent. of the readers are actual piano buyers, this does not mean that the ad- vertising read by the other 90 per cent is wasted. Advertising talks, not only to the prospective buyer, but also to his wife, his grown-up sons and daughters, his mother -even his mother-in-law. Their coaxing will help to convince the head of the house -and pretty soon there'll be a piano in that home. This and dozens of similar cases which might be cited to show that "waste circulat- Ion" is an empty bugaboo, and should deter no one. Take the motor truck. It can be sold only to large firms. Yet a motor truck manufacturer is success- fully Advertising in daily papers. He realizes that he must reach, not alone the managers of the concerns that re- quire trucks, but also directors, their foreman, their head machinate, etc. It is found in actual practice that this Ad- vertising radiates in a thousand direct- ions, and again converges most aston- ishingly to influence the house that has made up its mind that horse -trucking is too costly and inefficient.

Here and there a man who was lucky enough to take up a lot of land in a location where the values have been greatly enhanced has made money out of his real estate, but in ac- tual farming and grain -growing the drawbacks suffice to restrain and limit prosperity. The facts should not be distorted. The West is doing well, but not so well that the prosperity of its inhabitants should be artificially restricted or their disabilities unnecessarily continued. - Toronto Star Weekly. ' Eczema and Sore Eyes. 'r•=B "My daughter suffered from inflamed eyelids and eczema on her head," writes Mr. H. W. Lear, Port Planford, Nfld. "The child was in a bad state and suf- fered greatly. The doctor failed to help her, and on recommendation of a friend, I used Dr. Chase's Ointment, which made a complete cure With a grateful heart I write you this letter." FARMER'S IDLE WIFE. [The farmer's wife is now so occupied with social affairs that she has lost the art of making butter and jam, and do- ing the work of the farm that her grand- mother did. This results in a great economic loss to the country. The sub- stance is a government report issued from the Agricultural Deparment at Washington.] The farmer's wife in early days, got up at half -past two; She shined the plows and milked the cows and put the stew. The breakfast for the hands she'd set upon the stroke of four, And then she'd bake her bread and cake and scrub the kitchen floor. But nowadays the farmer's wife has time to call her own. "Good gracious!" says the Govern- ment"how idle she has grown." The farmer's wife, in times gone by brought up the calves and lambs. And sacked the oats and fed the shoats, and smoked the hickory hams. And when she'd cook three great big meals she'd cheerfully arose, And with her churn sat down to earn the money for her clothes. 'round, now she often visits and gossips, like as not. "My goodness," said the Govern- ment, "how worthless she has got!" The former's wife, some years ago was wholly free from nerves; Tereive hours a day she'd slave away putting up preserves. Six children dangled at her skirts, a seventh on her arm, She'd gamely set herself to get the mortgage off the farm. But now she sometimes takes ares rest, like city women do. "Great Heaven's!" Cries the Gov- ernment, "what is she coming to?" The farmer's wife departed from this vale of tears For happier climes, in those old times when under thirty years: The farmer got another mate, he some- how always found The ideal wife who toiled through life and rested • underground. But now sometimes her years add up their full allotted sum. • "Great Scott!" exclaims the Gov- ernment "how shiftless she's be- come!" -James J. Montague, in Baltimore American.

This would seem, says the New York Outlook, to show that "bon- anza farms," vast cattle ranches, etc., are succumbing to the tendency toward intensive cultivation on a smaller scale, and that the movement toward consoli- dation, so marked in business, has been reversed as for as agriculture is con- cerned.

As the value of land to' the owner Increases so does the security of mort- gage investments given on that land Increase. A mortgage may be consid• ered as a deed of the land which rt. - vests the title in the original owner or his successor on the paying off of the mortgage or the bond or note which the mortgage secures. Mortgages are recorded in public offices. called registers, recorders or county clerks' ofilces, in much the same way that deeds are, so that any one buying the land is bound to take no- tice of them, and the land is bound by them. no matter to whom the land is conveyed, and no ,one has a right to say that be boughthe land not know- ing that a mortgage was on it, for he is presumed by law to know suck facts, as a search of the title in these public offices would reveal. If, however, the holder of the mort- gage does not cause the mortgage to be recorded then any innocent pur- chaser of the land can take it clear of the lien of the mortgage. In no particular has the law of this country gone further than to the effort to secure the title of the landowner and the security of the mortgage hold- er. and no investments are more high- ly regarded by the conservative busi- ness man than those founded on the Imperishable surface of the earth. - Christian Herald.

Most of the handles of canes, alpen- stocks, parasols and umbrellas used in Prance are grown in nurseries. Ash, maple, oak, chestnut and other woods are used. In the early part of the first year after planting the young trees are cut near the ground to bring about the formation of numerous sprouts. The lower branches are removed, and only a plume of leaves is left. Early in the spring the sprouts are subjected to a surgical operation. Their bark is cut. and the wood is carved in different designs, which are swollen by the sap and grow in high relief as the tree develops. Special in- struments are used for the cutting and designing. Thus carved, the sprouts grow for three years. At the end of the third year the for- est of umbrella' -'handles is cut, and the cuts are dried in the sun and then giv- en a vapor bath, after which they are put into the bands of skilled workmen, who peel them with one quick move- ment.
