Txa most sanguine temperance work-
er in this Dominion would have hardly
ventured the assertion that the cause of
Prohibition of the liquor traffic would fill
so large a place in public thought as it is
doing today. It is no time to be mealy-
mouthed and electors who favor the
wiping out of the traffic should talk in
plain English to their respective parlia-
mentary representatives on the subject.
There has been a large share of quib•

due the Committee of too in the ener-

St. Patrick's Day
Although England, Scotland, \Vales
and France each (leitis the honor of
beiug the birthplace or St. Patrick,
they seem to have unanimously con-
sented to give Ireland sale possession
of him as patron Saint. The greatest
authority attaches to a pules near the
River Severn, in England, as his
birthplace, and the year about 1372,
though there are cynical and unbe-
lieving people who unblushingly as-
sert that there never was elicit a per-
son, any more than there was a Homer
or a Kiug Arthur, but that he is a
mythical personage about whom have
centred many legends of good deeds
which people would like to believe are
true. Delvers in ancient hietnry as
sure us of his reality and of his pa-
trician birth. He was captured by
pirates when about sixteen years of
age and carried into slavery in Ire-
land. For seven years he was kept
by his masterfeeding swine in Antrim.
He learned the language and the 0118 -
toms of his captors, from whom he
finally made his escape, and after
many thrilling adventures, which the
Irish love to relate, he reached Gaul.
Here he studied the religious lore of
the age, and finally was ordained a
deacon„ then a priest, and finally a
bishop. His great desire was to carry
the Gospel to the pagans, by whom he
had been held prisoner, and so armed
with authority by Pope Celestine he
returned to Ireland.
The Druid priests strenuously op-
posed him and only his miraculous
powers saved bion from beilig de-
stroyed by their magic. But finally,
though against the dictates of his
tender heart, he had to curse them
and all their property, and so the
earth opened and swallowed there,
and he was free to convert the people
from the error of their ways. As an
instance of his miraculous powers, we
are told how one nold Winter's morn-
ing he and his followers were nit a
bleak mountain tail side and bad m"
t ut Bre
to cook their food. He had them col-
lect a heap of ice and lumps of snow.
He breathed upon it, and immediate-
ly it blazed into fire and remained so
until their meal was cooked. The
greatest of his many miracles was the
driving out of all reptiles and render-
ing the soil so obnoxious to all the
serpent race that they die upon
touching it.
In 1831 an Irish gentleman, carious
to ascertain whether .the soil or clim-
ate was realty destructive to them,
bought a half dozen harrnless grass
snakes in England and turned them
loose in hieg at dens in CountyDown,
n
Ireland. In one week one was found
and killed ata place three miles dis-
tant. All Ireland was excited over
this terrible event, and many thought
it foretold the end of the world. Pri-
vate benefactors subscribed quite a
sum of money, and large bounties
were offered for snakes living or dead
Three more were found, but the other
Iwo :vete never accounted for. Had
the identity of this trifler with the
immunity of Ireland from reptile pests
beau known at the time it would have
gone (lard with him.
The three -leaved Shamrock, so
generally associated with the "Seven-
teenth
of Ireland," and worn on the
hat by everyone, is intimately as-
sociated with the patron saint. In his
efforts to explain to their heathen
minds the Doctrine of the Trinity, he
used the trefoil to illustrate the three
parts forming one, and hence it be-
came their national emblem, 1

To Canadians of German Descent.
To The Editor of Ten Banesara Poem,
As a German I would like to say a
few words to the German people of
nue Dominion. I may say at the out-
set my patents were born in this
country so was I, therefore you will
see that I am a Britisher and. Ger-
many has no claim upon me. I have
no doubt that there may be times
when you as a German think that
your feelings have been hurt, maybe
by some remarks which have been
made either through the press or by
some one you have heard speak, but
let us always remember Ihis, that Ger-
lnany has done such awful things in
war that you can hardly blame any-
one when they voice their feelings a-
gainst the Germane, and we ought to
forbear and overlook a lot of it. We
as. a German people had always been
respected until this war comrnetteed.
Now there has been a feeling created
among some which, I suppose, they
can hardly help, but let us continue
as a German people to so conduct our-
selves that we will still retain the re-
spect of the people among whom we
live. I would like to say a few words
to the pro -Germans, Did you ever
atop to think who was the cause of
Ws war ? Did not England try to
have the dispute settled, and was not
England forced into this war by Ger-
many when she had pledged herself to
protect the Belgian people ? Mr. pro -
German, take a little time and study
this question. You have enjoyed the
blessing of living under the British
rule, and no one dares to molest you
as long as you behave yourself, and if
you wete willing to work you could
always get work, and were not taxed
to death. Is it honorable on your
part to defend Germany in her action
in this war when she has committed
awful crimes against the women and
children ? We have a country to be
proud of. I think it is the best under
the sun, and I am proud to -day to
think that I belong to the Btitieh
Nation, a Nation that stands for
Righteousness and the helper of the
tweak. England is not fighting a -

S • re Throat
"You may not look upon it seriously, but a sore throat indi-
cates a weakness in the bronchial tubes. If neglected it may
soon develop into some chronic complaint.
People who are troubled in this way are most susceptible to
influenza, contract pneumonia readily, and fall easy victims to
consumption.
To remove this irritation, soothe and heal the inflamed mem-
brane, there is nothing equal to
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
It gives tone to the weakened tissues of the throat, Strengthens
the bronchial tubes, and at the same time builds up the system.
When the throat is healthy, influenza or consumption germs
cannot obtain a foothold. Above all things never neglect a
child's throat, for it may mean years of suffering for it in after
years."
