' Dos'T letup on the skillful use of the knitting needles. The demand is press- ing and surely our brave soldier boys in the trenches deserve all the comforts possible, DoM1NloN M. P,'s who have had 2 years added to their parliamentary term Without the necessity of soliciting the consent of the electors May consider themselves in clover, even if the exten• siou is given by necessity rather than merit, "FoawAao march" is the command the world is earnestly expecting as it relates to the Allies, so that the war may be hastened to its close. We hope when the order comes "Let the whole line advance," such a victory may be obtained as will silence for many a day the roar of artillery and the clash of arms. THE fire 10sses in: 1914 in the Province of Ontario totalled $7,g65,000 and for 10 months of 1915 the losses were upwards of $4,000,000. Necessity of greater care on the part of the people was pointed out at a meeting of the Underwriters. Many of the losses are due to preventible causes. Possibly a more searching in- vestigation before losses were paid and a curtailment where waut of care was discovered would have a healthful effect upon the situation. To prevent t'te great wastage in mili- tary camps it is proposed to employ women cooks, etc , else have lessons in modern methods given by women at the training camps. The case has been proven ilia Convalescent camp iu Eeg- ]and where 2828 soldiers were cared for, in the month of October and the sum of $45oo saved under the direction of women folk. without detracting from the former bill of fare. Men don't ap- pear to know anything about the "make- over" dishes by which the overplus, cotnmonly called scraps, are util'zed in attractive forms. ATTENTION of the world is called to- day to the military exploits of Russia and her victories must assuredly play an important part in the outcome of the great war. Last Fall the Russian bear was chased from post to pillar by its enemies, fighting some historic rear- guard battles and preserving their mili- tary equipment and army in a wonderful manner but Mr. Bear turned on his pur- suers and with a mightier host of well equipped courageous soldiery it looks now as if, with wise generalship, nothing can stop them. Rassia will come through the war s revitalized Nation and ready to take her place in the front rank in the world. LINCOLN, Lennox and Addington and Hastings are considering plans for road improvement under the Government Good Roads scheme. W. A. McLean, Deputy Minister of Highways, is kept busy. We believe it would pay any municipality over and over again to dis- cuss modern methods of road snaking with that officer. In many places the same rule is followed that was in vogue 25 years ago, and no advantage taken of improvements in construction or triale of up•to•date machinery introduced. Some of the Statute Labor is little better than a direct los of ' s time far a sP er- manent improvement • ns cancer lied. Some little political chitchat has been indulged in as to the advisabitity of moving the Dominion seat of Govern- ment from Ottawa to some more central point. Port Arthur is mentioned as one of the suggested locations possessing good facilities for public travel East and West If we were making a guess we would venture to predict that par- liamentary headquarters will remain at Ottawa for many a y a day. The Rideau City would staffer a great loss if some morning they woke up to find their good milch oow had taken up new quarters. Ottawa's record for incendiarlsm does not strengthen the ossa of those who would ,fight for the retention of the Capital, Walks you have an opportunity to speak a good word for the Children's Aid Society or make a contribution to- ward its support don't fall to do so as a work is being done by this organization beyond computation in improving the youthful citizenship 01 this Province.

How would you like to see the Do. minion of Canada under the heel of military despotism after the enj yment of ottr freedom from such a condition 1 Many a men left Europe ou sceostut of the Militarist tyrapuy.'and Caine to Canada, knowing no such servitude existed. If this freedom is still to be ours we should not only be devuutely thankful bet as loyal men and women Should see that this privilege is .main- tained in our own interests by a hearty support, in the land of our birth or adoption, of anvtb'ng and everything that will ail in securing a permanent victory for the rights we cherish and desire to maintain. '1'o falter may be disastrous, PEEL County did itself credit when it returned W. 3, Lowe, the Liberal standard bearer over J. R. Pettis, the late M. P. P. at the bye election last week by a majority of 305 last week. At last general elect ion Mr, Fallis was elected by 726. It was not apolitical battle as much as it was a couflict be- tween•the principles of purity and graft and the lesson taught should not 1 e al- lowed to pass by unheeded, R. Blain, M. P., may wish at a later date that he had not been quite so ready to defend the horse deals, particularly at a time when patriotic citizens were coutribut. hag so generously in the Empire's cause. More than Mr. Fallis should be instruct- ed by the electors when it comes to marking ballots on future dates. We want a higher type of morality in our public men and the way to secure it is to weed out the crooked fellows irres- pective of party. REPORT of Huron and Perth Counties' newspaper meu, in Convention at Strat- ford last Friday, may be read in another column. One question debated was the increase of subscriptions to Weekly newspapers, from St no to $1 50 per year and the decision to adopt the latter figure from July tete. Bruce County bas already adopted the tu!e We don't see where there is much room tor the public to ol.jeot if they will consider for a moment the large advance in the cost of production. Years ago when the copntry's business was a matter largely of truck and trade it was different but today cash is the medium of exchange and as a constquence mouty is more available than in the days gone by. No farmer would care to sell a thousand bushels of wheat in bushel lots to a thousand customers at *Loci per bushel and wait 6 months, a year or 2 years for his pay and perhaps never get paid for some of it. The old process of running a dollar newspaper with a pay -as -you please method of settlement is not one whit more satisfactory. 3 cents a week cannot be said to be au exorbitant price for a good live weekly and even at that figure when cost of paper, ink, postage, freight, wages, insurance, keeping up the plant and cost of living is taken out it dwindles to a very small sum. We think a hustling weekly will have no trouble in c,nvincing its patrons of the justness of asking 1 cent a week more in view of the changed conditions now existing. Newspaper Men in Session Interesting address on "Co-operation" and the advisability of increasing the price of weekly papers from $t to Sr 5o per year, were presented by A R Allo- way, assistant tnaneger of the Canadian Press Association, t nen n Coro and 1 Z.

About 20 members of the organization were present and a very profitable session re- sulted. e- sulted. Following the address of Mr Sales, a general discussion regarding the neces• city of increasing the price of the weekly paper ensued, and continued until the meeting adjourned for luncheon, It was decided to raise the price of weekly papers from $1 to $1 5o on Italy 1, and to cover the increased cost of colored inks and paper in job contracts here- after, '1'he publishers pledged them- selves to a -silt recruiting in every way pos ible.

BROTHER JONATHAN By Charles Alexander Richmond Dr. Richmond is well known as -elle President of Union College, at Schen- ectady, New York. The following verses, written in the vein of James Russell Lowell's "Bigelow Papers," were read by Dr. Richmond with tell- ing effect at the recent dinner of the Real !.state Board of New York City. —.The Editors of The New York Out- look. Brother Jonathan sat by the kitchen fire, Nursin' his foot on his knee. "It's a turrible fight they're havin' out there, But they can't gib over to me," And Jonathan jingled the coins in his han' An' thanked the good God for the sea, II. "They'll be wautin' my cattle and hogs and corn An' powder and guns mebbe, Bnt they'll pay on the nail 1 cash down, by gun, 1 For all they gib from me." An' he smiled kinder slow and jingled the coins, "It's good for business," eez'ee. - III. "They're killin"'em off like flies, they say, They can't blame it onto me. It ain't my war. yet I do feel bad For them poor Belgiuma," sez 'ee. And he took a few dollars out of his jeans And sent it across the sea. Iv. Then he heard they'd drowned a thousand men, And some from Amerikee. So he said right out, "IF you do that agii You'll git me mad " sez'ee. Au' he kep' w, jinglin' the coins in his han' An' thankin' God For the sea. V. They did it ag'in and then ag'in, "You quit that now," 8ez'ee, "1'11 give you fellers a piece o' my mina If I git bol' o' ye." An' lie winks one eye with his tongue in his cheek ; "I'm too proud to fight," sez'ee. VI. Then they got to plottin' and blowin' up things, Alt' he sez : "You let me be, 1 won't stand these furrin' tricks o' ym,rn Irl this here Ian o' the free." And it got old Jonathan all het up, An' he took his foot from his knee. VII. An' he got to thinkin' and thinkin' hard, Worryin' how it would be, An' wouderin' what iu Sam Hill he'd do If some pesky enemy With all them dreadnoughts and sub- marines, Oame a-rippin' across the sea. VIII. Au' he thought of the army he wish- ed he had, An' he reckoned up his navy.

Thirdly: Children like it, and no persuasion is needed to get them to take it. • , For the above reasons alone it is impossible to get a better medicine for babies than Why fest for Babies?
