EDITORIAL NOTES
Sir Wilfrid Laurier received felicita-
tions on his seventy-second birthday
from his Majesty the King, his Royal
Highness the Duke of Connaught, Gov-
ernor-General, Premier Asquith, Mr.
Bonar Law, Lord Strathcona and many
others.
The Borbn Goy erurnent is talking
vaguely of an enq liry into the high
cost of living, urged on by resolutions
of the Montreal City Council and other
bodies. The Liberal policy is not to
waste time enquiring into conditions
which everybody knows to exist, but to
take prompt steps to apply the proper
remedy by taking the high duties off
foodstuffs. It is the historic contrast
between Liberal action and Tory inac-
tion.
In the last ten years the naval ex-
denditures of the seven leading powers
has increased by £66,283,000, say $300,-
000,000. The total expenditure of these
powers on naval armaments for this
year is £170,672,000. Of this total
Britain's share is £47,000,000, the
United States coming next with £29,-
499,000. Russia third with £24,241,000,
and Germany fourth with £23,000,000.
Thus Germany's expenditure is less
than half that of Great Britain. These
figures do not show much of a "German
peril."
The Bockville Times (Cons.) recently
said: "The common-sense policy is ob-
viously a comparatively small but effec-
tive modern navy for Canada which
would in case .,f war automatically go
under the control of the Admiralty"
The only difference between this Con-
servative paper and the Liberal naval
policy is the word "automatic." The
difference between it and the Borden
policy of a $35,000,000 contribution is
just as great as that between the Gov-
ernment and the Oppsition. Common-
sense must be with the Liberals.
7 he fifth election within two years in
East Middlesex resulted in another re-
duction in a Conservative majority on
Thursday, when Mr. John McFarlan, of
West Nissouri, was elected over Mr.
John W. Laidlaw, fusion candidate of
the Liberal and Temperance parties, by
a majority of 287. Mr. George Neely's
majority in the last election was 539.
Analysis of the figures reveals the fact
that it was the suburban divisions that
sent John McFarlan to Toronto as the
riding's representative rather than
John W. Laidlaw. The majority for
McFarlan in the suburban districts was
nine more than his total majority (287)
in the entire riding. This fact alone
speaks volumes. Rural Elst Middlesex
voted to reject the Whitney nominee.
Urban East Middlesex voted to maintain
him.

WHERE HAS THE MONEY GONE?
Inspired statements in the Govern-
ment press set forth that the total es-
timates for 1913-14 were over $200,00 ),-
000, of which probably more than $175,-
1000,000 will be actually spent by the end
of the year. Of course the estimates
do not include statutory expenditures,
agricultural aid, railway subsidies, pro-
vincial subsidies, etc., all of which will
increase the spendings of this year to
over $250,000,000.
Including every item, estimates and
statutory expenditures, the total spend-
ing of the Liberal Government for the
year ending March 19II, the last full
year of Liberal- administration, was
only $y7,774,198.
The controllable expenditure of the
Borden government this year is there-
fore on its own admission almost exact-
ly twice the amount of the total con-
trollable expenditure of the Laurier
Government, three years ago. What
have the people received for this extra-
ordinary increase?
Mr. Borden denounced the Liberal
expenditure of 1912 as in itself prima
facie evidence of corrupt and extrava-
gant administration. Would Premier
Borden now please give his personal
opinion of the extravagance of Hon.
Messrs. Rogers, Hughes, Reid and the
rest of the wastrels?
MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT.
Following is the report of Dr. R. C.
Redmond, Wingham's Medical Officer
of Health, which was submitted to
the Town Council on Monday evening:-
Wingham, Nov. 15th, 1913•
MR. JOHN F. GROVES,
Secretary of the Local Board of Health,
The Medical Officer of Health for the
year 1913 begs leave to report that the
health of the town as a municipality is
in a very satisfactory conditiun.
Twice during the year did scarlet
fever make its appearance; two children
of one family in the first instance and
one adult in the second instance all of
whom recovered. Strict quarantine
was enrorced in each case and no further
cases developed. During the month of
June, German measles appeared among
the school children and 25 cases were
quarantined After consultation with the
School Board, the Public School was
closed for the two weeks preceding the
summer holidays; as a consequence the
epidemic was checked and none of the
senior pupils nor High School pupils
missed attendance at the July examin-
ations. During October three cases of
typhoid fever were reported, one in
ward five and two in ward one. In
both cases occuring in ward one the
drinking water was examined anci found
contaminated. These wells were con-
demned and the families notified.
Two cases of Infantile paralysis
occurred early in November. Both were
quarantined in the usual way. They
are gradually progressing to recovery.
The three slaughter houses in use by
our local butchers are in first-claes con-
dition after considerable alterations
which were carried out during the
summer.
Samples of milk taken from the
dairies of the town were submitted for
examination on four different occasions.
In no case was any preservative found
present and the butter fat was never
less than 3 per cent and in some cases
up to 4 per cent. It would be a great
satisfaction to know that all the cows
from which milk is supplied to the town
are healthy and free from tuberculosis.
This could be accomplished by employ-
ing a Veterniary Surgeon to visit these
herd at stated intervals and in doubt-
ful cases to apply the tuberculin test.
Early in November the artesian well
water was turned into the mains, the
stand pipe being thoroughly cleaned
and painted within and without pre-
paratory to the supply of pure water
Samples of this water were taken from
the taps in different parts (.f the town
and submitted for examination. Th•3
report shows them free from bacterial
infection.
As typhoid fever has appeared in
ward one and ward five we hope that as
soon as siring opens again, the water
services will be rapidly extended to
tie parts of the town and the surface
s ells closed up.
One ease of hulimonary tuberculosis
occurred daring the year. Isolation was
carried out as far as possible in a small
,ts:• and after death the room were
tl.,?•,.ugl;ly cleaned, disinf:rete3, r.•-
p:anted oral re -papered to render t.huo

the business is undesirable in a resi-

The Tortures
of Rheumatism
are aggravated during
climatic changes be-
cause the impure blood
is incapable of resistance
and ordinary treatment
seems useless -but the
fame of Scott's Emulsion •�
for relieving rheumatism is
based on logical principles
and scientific facts. This
oil -food promptly makes
active, red, life-sustaining
blood corpuscles and its
body-building properties
regulate the functions to
expel poisonous acids.
Scott's Emulsion, with careful
diet for one month, will relieve
the lanae muscles and stiffened
joints and subdue the unbeara-
ble sharp pains when other
remedies fail.
Beware of alcoholic imitations
and insist on the purity of SCOTT'S.
