The tables are" turned all right and the sword will not be sheathed until Belgium has been relieved of the arrogant invader. Good for the Belgi- ans and their doughty leader, King Al- bert Accoemee to an estimate one million British lives have been sacrificed during the war. This represents only a tithe of the casuaities and the number of homes that will have vacant chairs is a very sad thought even supposing early Peace is brought into effect. Of course there had to be tremendous sacrifice to win against such a gigantic and complete war machine as Germany had prepared to conquer the world. Surely the mighty have fallen. CAMPAIGN for the new Victory Loan begins Monday next 28th inst. Every loyal Canuck is asked to take part. Investment is safe, fairly remunerative at s?i' per cent and every dollar invested is backing to the cause of the Empire, Some say if the war is soon to be over the money will not be required. That is not correct for if the struggle ended on November 1st the funds are badly re- quired to meet indebtedness already in- curred. Help the cause if you are British to the core. NORTH Huron Provincial Election campaign promises to lift the lid on some of the tactics of the wicked Con- servatives in Wingham if George Spot - ton. iudependent Conservative candi- date, does not recant, He announces as the topic of his forthcoming election ad- dress such a live subject as "The Kaiser - band in Tory -land" or "How to steal Conventions." Mr. Spotton's volubility will no doubt have full sway but what we are wondering at is if the Tories are e'0 crooked as he affirms why he did not squeal earlier, as he belonged to the sinners for years. LAST year there was a veru marked increase in the consumption of cigarettes, no less than 2,664409,937 "coffin nails" being used, representing the large stun of $r6,647,0g9.73. This does not include tobaccos and cigars, the output of the former being over 21,o0o,000 pounds and over 254E million cigars. Where so much is said about conservation during war time it would appear that the smokers have not cur_ tailed in this habit. There is room for thought over the very large expenditure. IT is nothing to the credit of "Satur- day Night," published to Toronto, that they continue a sniping warfare against the world—acknowledged good being wrought by the Prohibition of the liquor traffic. Their thunder loses its force when it is stated that the same Company control the "Wine and Spirit journal," both publications being issued from the same office. Of course if the booze busi- ness is permanently shut off it means the demise of its exponent. The firm would show better sense if they ceased their silly and useless opposition, Now that the long evenings draw on there is a tendency for boys and girls to spend too much time on the street and not always with good results, A Curfew bell in n number of places has a whole- some effect in sending them home at a seasonable hour, where they ought to be. Parents are often more to blame than the children for not maintaining better discipline and also setting a good ex- ample. Here's a testimony from Listo• Wel :—The Banner Says ;•--Listowel can't afford a constable and in the mean• time young lads are runuing wild on the streets at alt hours and making them- selves a general nuisance, The situation is a disgrace to the community, Tues- day night a number of them climbed on top of the roofs to a part of the business sections and peppered stones to the op- posite side, striking a number of wind- ows and smashing one, If every home would mark out a program of good read. ing, study, &c , intermixed with amuse- ments and music, with an early retiring to rest there is little doubt brit it would work admirably and healthfully both physically and morally.

THOSE WHO ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO IT '"FRUIT-A-TIVES"—The Wonderful Fruit Medicine—Gives the Power To Resist This Disease. The epidemic of Spanish Influenza which played such havoc in Europe, has reached this continent. Thou- sands of cases of the strange malady have appeared and many deaths are already reported; Surgeon -General Blue of the United States Public Health Service having stated that "Spanish Influenza will probably spread all over the country In six weeks". Practically every ship which touches our shores from abroad, brings those infected with the disease. Surgeon -General Blue urges that "the individual take all the precau- tions he can against contracting the disease by care and personal hygiene". Plenty of exercise should be taken;the dietshoul.dberegulated, etc. Spanish Influenza affects most severely elderly persons and others whose powers of resistance are weakened by illness, work°or worry, especially those who are "run-down" or "not feeling up to the mark." The really great danger from the disease is not so much in the disease itself, as that it often develops into pneumonia. What everyone needs now is a general tonic like "Fruit-a-tives" This wonderful fruit medicine is not a germ -killer. It is a body-builder; a strength -maker; a blood -purifier; a power in protecting against the ravages of disease. " Fruit- a • tives " regulates the kidneys and bowels, causing these organs to eliminate waste regularly and naturally as nature intended. Fruit-a-tives" keeps the skin active, and purifies and enriches the blood. "Fruit -a•tives" tones up and strengthens the organs of digestion, insuring food being properly digested and assimilated. Everyone can take ordinary pre- cautions, avoid crowded places, and use "Fruit -a-tires" regularly to insure sound digestion, to keep the bowels and kidneys regular and the whole system in the best possible condition. Then we are safe from disease. "Fruit-a-tives" is sold by dealers everywhere at 50e a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size 25c or sent postpaid on receipt of price by Fruit•a"tires Limited, Ottawa, Ont. IT is said doctors have located the germ of the Spanish influenza. A good many others have been located from the effecst same germ. If the M. D's can put it out of business he will do a great favor to the public even supposing the coffers of the profession is depleted thereby. GENERAL ALLENBY is traversiug histor- ic ground -in his successful war campaign against the Turk in Palestine. Wonder- ful expectations of the future of that land are already outlined and history is repeating itself as to the terse part be- ing played in it by the British Empire Mr. Turk has had his fill of war and will not be so ready to wield the sword in the days to come. BSLL Telephone Co is asking lite Railway Board for power to raise their rates 20 per cent. If granted : 1'w schedule will come into effect' Nevem• ber 20. Reason for request is the grea'ly increased cost of material, wages, &c The possibilities are that Rural Tele- phone Companies will have to add to their charges as well as the same rife applies at to the older Company In some cases initial fee was too low to even pay its way under normal conditions. "For freedom and the Bight" "THE ALLIES" The above is the title of a mostint.er- esting War Album issued by The Family Herald and Weekly Star, of Montreal. It is brimful of useful information from cover to cover, The front cover page is a most beautiful design em. bracing the flags of the Allies. Itis a clever artistic effort. The Album con- tains the flags in color of all the Al- lies, It tells in full the story of the "Union Jack" and "Old Glory." It gives the date and reason for entry of each of the Allies into the War, It gives the system of Government of each, also population, area, eta., etc. It contains. the Nations' songs of Great Britain, France and the United States, as well as a great many of the popular songs sunk as "Tipperary,' "Long Long Vail," "Good Bye Broadway," "Over There," eta , etc, It contains a diary of the war since its commence- ment up to time of going to press, with blank space on which the reoipi- , sat may 1111 in future dates, and have the complete history, The Album is one you would buy on sight at any reasonable prima, but Is nut fm' sale. 11. is ttbgslnt"1y 111'1' in all who nidi' scribe to the Family Hi raid ctrl Weekly .Star for 111111, The yearly subeerip1ion prier' is $1.25 \\'e Ince wads it nabbing eouthinntim, reit it the Family Nereid, told ran fl'or that gionI 1\'eekly +villi tie, A'hum and I lila Poss. rot :6205 The off.' of the Albeit' is fnr a limited time only, (1.11rr now et d be heal' of 11 c"py. `1'1 Fetidly Horeb] (Imre nut centilitre such uu curer dud, Ileitcly, A sample of the Album ugly be wren at. the of - nee of THIS Ptts'r Presbytery of Huron Indorses New forward Movement A laegely attended speciael meeting of the Huron Presbytery 1580 bell at (lilttan'I'hureday lust, the Model aloe, 1)e. \V. 13. 51.

Further action along 911011 lines as the following is suggested :— (a) Careful preparation for a set des of meetings to be held by formation of a league of prayer, by bolding district meetings, by conferences of office bearers and of speakers.

(r) Formation of a special commit- tee whose dirty shall be to seek out young men of lit character and capa- city for t.li' work of the ministry and to use their influence to have diem plan their life work as shall lead them to enter•the miuists y. A public Meeting VMS held in the evening which was addressed by the sane gentlemen, and it is expected that a great forward movement will be launched by Huron Presbytery.
