ROAD AND BRIDGE cosarirraz.-Thio
committee of the County Council met
in Wingbam on Thur -day. Apill 8th,
with representatives of Bruce Council,
to consider the condition of the road

berry and Culross. This tuns through
a swamp for some 3o roti', and near the
centre about 15o feet of the road 1)55

foot deep. An iron rod suck iu this
found only mut.ky soil to the depth of
28 feet. Some years ago a large drain
was made from this place South Ibrough

the drain has not been maintained and

out and enlarged, the committee say, it
would relieve the situation very material-
ly. 1t was decided that' no action be
taken, as the committee do not consider
the County responsible.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES
TO the Editor of Tun Posy :
In my last letter I drew attention to
the statement 111 the finance minister
of Russia that financing the, great
war had been made cnrnpatativcly
easy owing to the savings Id the peo-
ple since the Liquor traffic was pro-
hibited. We have had many demon-
strations on a smaller scale thu,t the
liquor traffic brings -poverty and that
Prohibition brings .prosperity and
ability to pay taxes. But here we
have a demonstration of the effects of
prohibition on studs an immense Seale
hat no doubt ottn be left in the mind
bf any one of tuode•ate intelligence.
No wonder ptnhibitiou brings prns-
Ilerity. List yeti' Oanadiane spent
over a hundred millions of dollars in
drink. That is the exact sum that the

part in the war. But tnnney spent in -
drink is like water spilled on the
ground that cannot be gathered up
again. Money spett.in drink cannot
earn money to pay taxes or do any-
thing else. Better if it had been burnt.
for then it would not have made
criminals and lunatics to be a burden
on the taxpayer and would not poison
the babes to the third and fourth
generation. The Germans have been
styled baby killer but the' great baby
killer is alcohol in any form. ,Science
has shown that a much' larger propor-
tion of. the babies of drinking, not to
speak of drunken, parents die before
their second birthday than 'the child-
ren of abstaining parents.
It has been shower that every 'dollar'
spelt in drink does on an average a
dollar's worth of harm. So that
Canada. is probably two hundred
million dnllat's worse off every year
than if she had prohibition of the
liquor traffic At; that tate it is easy
to see that Russia can finance this
immense war when prohibiting the
