REMEMBER
THE COST
With ties tM'entp-fifth anniversary
of the beginning of the Great War
just past, tide waned seem to be a
fi'ttin'g time to pause for a moment
and try to realize just haw great a
'rice the world paid. for that tour -
year bloodbath. With the war
eoliths thick over Europe and the
Far_ East and nations building up
huge navies, air forces• and aranies,
it might indeed be a helpful tiring
If timer could be a universal holiday
to give people a chance to remem-
ber the cost of the last great con-
flict.
Here in Canada we have little
delculty in reanembenin'g that the
world war of 19144913 took the
lives of 60,000 young 'Canadians, We
realize that thousands more who
fought in those troublesome years
now lie buried' in, loanaelan eeme-
teries cu toff, long before teeny
time, as a result of their war er-
perlen'ces. We recall, too, the
broken mew in military hospitals
throughout the country for whom
the waif ioas net yeit ended.
•The world 'picture is the Canadian
scene magnified' many times 'over.
CM top of the human suffering there
is the economic cost. It will be
remembered that .soon atter the
war the Carnegie Endowment for
Internautional Peace estimated' that
the real economic cost amounted to
'the huge sum of $224,000,000,000
and the treasury department at
Washington has placed the 'none-
taPy, coat to the United States alone,
up to 1934, at $41,765,000,000,
Other statisticians- have produced
the following startling figures fit-
tingly published 25 years atter the
great confldnt etalted,
740,000,0:00 men mobilizer.
10;000,000 man kills e.
3,000,000 men missing
19,000,000 men wounded.

HAY FEVER
Hay fever is caused by the irriga•

the nose.and throat from the pollen
or dust of ,plants and .grass:es by
persons' .senuitive to such. irritation
The offending plants are trees,
grasses, and weed,, and, the particu-
lar offen'd'er in a given. case may be
recognized by 'skin tests.

In the eerily spring, 'trees carry
the causative yollens. Then come
the grasOes; say about June, and
them the weeds in Autumn.

The willow pollen is the only one of
these not carried by winds, „Trees

the elmand mesquite, are also

prairies, the poplar is the chief of -

Di'. Heber C. Jamieson, of Edmon-
ton, writing in' the Canadian, Medi-

three hayfever 'areas of the ,prov-
