Encouraging.
. At the annual meeting o4 the Merchants. flank o1 Canada the various re-
ports which were presented showed that this institution occupies a command-
ing position in Canadian financial nl'fairs. The a:ddreesee of the President,
Sir Montagu Allen, and the General Manager; Mr. D, 0, Macarow, were concise
statements ofpresent day conditions and contained an optimistic survey
of the future, .
The President's Address. ,.
Sir Moaltagu Allan in part said:
"The general depression in business;
felt to a greater or 10see1' degree in
every country in'tile world, has affect-
ed the business;of the bank to Some
extent, but we hope the low point of
depreeelot has been passed, and that
there will seen be a change for the
better, The coal strike in England
which will no doubt result iu the lose
of'a'great..deal of trade, and the un-
rest and discontent which semis to
prevail in nearly all the countries of
]Europe, give rise to serious financial
problems to be reckoned with, but no
man in th'.s country who is strong and
healthy can. afford to be a pessimist
for any length of time, The - known
and undeveloped reeourcos are suf-
ficient to ensrue future prosperity,_
New Issue of Stock,
"As mentioned in last year's report
a further issue of $2,100,000 of new
stock was made, making the paid-up
capital of the bank $10,500,000, and by
the .transfer of the premium an the
new stock to the rest account, the rest
now stands at $9,450,000.
"The shareholders of the bank now
number 2,997, as against 2,622 in 1920,
being an increase of 375 during the.
year."
Current loans and discounts stand at
$109,183,000, so against $118,198,900
last year, It will be seen, therefore,.
that this bank continues to extend its
ample share of assistance to the in-
dustries -of the country.
General Manager is Optimistic.
Following the president's concise
yet comprehensive review of the situa-
tion, as reflected in the year's• state-
ments, said Me. Macarow, there is
little left for me to add beyond, per-
haps, a word or two by way of ampli-
, •fication.
It will be observed that in compari-
son with last year's figure„ our total
aesete show a eb'rinitage of about
$7,000,000, or, roughly, 8% per cent.,
which, in view of all the surrounding
circumstances, Must be regarded as a
satisfactory showing,. the liquid 'yogi -
tion being well maintained the while.
The trend of our Interest-bearing
deposits for the same period has been
steadily upward, an increase in that
department of• about $7,000;000 being
shown, but this gain has boon more
than offset by the decline in the total
ordinary deposits. A ye2u' ago, how-
ever, under the heading of demand de-
pc,site, a sunt of about $8,000,000 stood
to the credit of the Government in
connection with Victory Loan pay-
mento This I:nlonnt,: which, of course,
was• of a purely temporary nature, was
Withdrawn during the year so that,
after making allowance for it the total
deposits and total assets about helot
their own, a satisfactory achievement
we have no doubt yon will agree.
Crop Reports Are Promising.
Crop conditions throughout the
country are at the present moment ex-
ceptionally promising. I1. I may say a
word as to general conditions- it win
be one of tempered optimism, having
a due comprehension of the many dif-
ficulties which require •to be met but
'raving, at the same time, a impel* ap-
preciwtion of the actual and potential
riches of this country.
There are,inciictitious that the mone-
tary position, broadly speaking, is less
stringent and that the general liquidity
04 credit now in evidence 10 continuing
re develop further.
Altogether, and in a word,. It is• not
difficult to be an optimist as to the
future o1 "Canada Unlimited," to bor-
row tho apt expression recently used
by an eminent Canadian.
The hoard of Directors was re-elect-
ed, with Sir li. Montagu Allan -as
President and P. Howard Wilson as

Children as a rule do not •get
enough sleep. On account of their
rapid growth and development and
•their almost ceaseless inclination for
play and activity their little frames
get physically exhausted and need
plenty of restOnly during sleep is
absolute rest obtained for the brain
and nervous system 'generally. The
infant should spend most of its etiMe
in sleep; tho child of four at least
hale of its time. The child of seven
should have at least eleven hours, and
the child of nine as much as ten hours
os' more.
Children require snore sleep in win-
ter than in summer, and this necessity
should be recognized; they should go
to bed early, for the most refreshing
sleep is obtained in the first few 'tours
after going to bed.
The child will readily adopt these
habits if it is trained to them, and
ft is just as easy to teach e child the
right way as it is tho wrong. To let
a child stay up late at night is a
practice that has nothing to commend
it. It is allowed by some parents as
a matter of expediency 0r .personal
comfort, because they will say the
child, if it goes to bed early at night,
wakes up the whole household at day-
break next morning, This, however,
is again a matter of .habit, for up till
nine years of age the child should
have at least ten hours sleep.
The ibrain benefits from regularity
of rest, no less than the stomach from
regularity in meals, Tho signs of in-
sufficient sleep are mainly mental,
but largely physical as well. They are
most marked in the case of (he child,
and children who get too little sleep
are readily recognized. They are
anaemic, languid., dull, drowsy and
stupid. The appetite is poor, the
growth is stunted. The face is pale.;
the eyelids are heavy; the eyes sunken
and dark ringed. These -children are
not inclined to muscular activity and
are incapable of learning. Occasional-
ly children showing such signs are
found- in the upper standards of the
school. They -re 'often hard-working,
clever children. When found, they
should be spoken to and advised, and
the parents also warned of the risk of
overworking the -•,brain. -+•-Less time
given to study, and more to recreation
and sleep will often work wonders in
such cases. Iu cities, children of the
very poor often show the effects of
lack .of sleep through selling papers,
.sometimes till midnight. In the coun-
try districts children often suffer un-
necessary fatigue through the strain
of home work. Teachers, of course,
insist that the junior pupils do a cer-
tain amount of homework, and rightly
so, but the nature of the study and
time required) to master it should be
carefully arranged. In no •ces0 should
the work .given children at home inter-
fere with their time for recreation or
sleep.
. The bathroom should be kept airy
and well -ventilated. Tho body will
not suffer if well and properly cloth-
ed. If consumptives and babies can
sleep in the open air and thrive on it
tliero is no reason why healthy adults
and -children should•not do so also.
Children should also be taught to
go to the lavatory at the sante time
each day. This arrangement if con-
sistently married out mattes for health,
in that it tends to prevent constipa-
tion 'with its attendant ills arising
from general lowering of tone and loss
of appetite,
Plenty of restful sleep, and too
right kind of out -door exercise, to-
gether with good nourishing food, arc
the essential's far a healthy active
childhood, With these supplied, the
growing -child may be expected to
make the best progress at home and
at school provided its general health
is good,

The veXing gnention .0t the exact
looalily Of the temporary tomb of the
ttectitle s Peter and Paul May soon be
settled, if the excavations under the
Church of San Sebastian, begun 1i
1914, nee completed successfully,
There have been many delays, owing
to lack.oI Hindle and, during the war,
to lack of neon, In the last six years.
only about elle year's work 11as been
done,
The excavations already have
broulit to light the remains of a villa
which apparently•belonged to- a pagan
family of wealth, turned Christian dur-
ing the time of St. Peter.. It is a first
century building, and on its walls are
granites which prove that :Peter and
Paul thee here and were owtertained
by the family of Tonfus Coolies. An
inscription reads: -"Petro et Paulus
Tenfus Coolies refrlueerm fe-cl," •
In those days' inscriptions were al-
ways scratched on the walls with a
sharp instrument, and on the day that
Petre and Paulus were entertained
some guest pr attenclnit attested in
writing to this great event. Besides
tine inserlplon' there are more than
150 invocations to Peter and Paul, all
now carefully put together, which will
be carried away to some museum.
The ancient walls with their paintings
will be left in the church for all visi-
tors to see. The old pavement of the
church will not be replaced.
St. Peter Lived In Rome.
Professor Maruechl; the well known
archaeologist, who hes visited the ex-
cavations• and watched the work dur-
ing the last two months, insists that
the discoveries of Professor Stygor,
as well as those of more recent date,
have unearthed the most important
Christian monuments, because they
provide absolute proof that St. Peter
stayed and lived in Rome. This proof
is offered by the many inscriptions
uncovered. Heretofore first-hand evi-
dence of St. Peter's stay in Rome was
based on writings- and manuscripts.
In the last few days three tombs
have been found, unique in that they
probably are, the only ones which re-
main undesecratodt The Christians
had filled them in and covered them
with plaster. Outside the are orna-
mented with arches of travertine; in-
side are marble sarcophagi still con-
taining the bones, of the holy ones,
and the ceilings are decorated with
light stucco.
Near by has been discovered a per-
foctly preserved eolomrlum, while to
the other side is what is supposed to
have been the baptistry of some holy
shrine. It is for this reason that Pro -
fees or,Merucghiargues that the _tomb
of the apostles St. Peter and St. Paul
must he near by.
Tradition tells us that Peter and
Paul were martyred on the same day,
Juno 18, A.D. 66 or 67.
St. Peter was' orucifsd in Nero's
Circus• on the Vatican Bill, while Paul
was beheaded on the site of the pre-
sent Church of St. Paul, Then their
bodies were taken by some holy
people, washed carefully, embalmed
in fine linen and buried on the Via
Cornelia, close to the Circus of Nero,
and the spot marked with an inscrip-
tion. Whenever there was trouble,
persecution or invasion the Christians
hastened to the burial spot of the
appostles and carried the bodies to
some safe place in the catacombs of
San Sebastian.
Hidden for a century.
Soon alter theh• martyrdom the Ori-
ental Christians decided to come to
Rome and carry the bodies back to the
East for burial, They encceeded in
taking the bodies of bath apostles, and
started on their homeward journey.
They had reached the Appian Way
when a terrible thunder storm came
up and they sought shelter from tho
Morin. While they were waiting the
Roman -Christians discovered the theft
of the bodies and started after them.
They caught up with theta and took
,the bodies away, hiding them in a sec-
ret burial place.
Iler'e the bodies remained for more
than a century, whorl they were re-
moved to the original tomb. During -
-
the Voleriari persecution tbey were
hidden again and afterward St, Paul's
remains were burled in the spot on
which new stands. the Church of St.
Paul. •
The Liber Pontificalie tells us that
the Emperor Constantino, after iris
conversion ordered that the body of
St, Peter should be encased in silver,.
within a sarcophagus of brass. The
Emperor then placed a cross of gold
weighing 150 pounds, on ;wlfich was
inscribed the name 61 his mother and
himself, The -tomb was then. decor-
ated with jewels, while the altar and
walls were hung with silver, lamps.
The brass •sarcophagus was- then
Placed to a chamber, which was faced
with gold plates.
The :disappearance of all these
jewels and plates occurred during the
sacking of Ronne in,847 A,D., when the
010 Church cf St, Peter, Greeted in his
honor by Constantine, was resec'ated,
and this also happened later, it 1527.
No reputabie writer of that time tells
whether the sao'ophagus was dere-
o•ated, Only an old letter discovered
fifteen years ago, written oil J1ule 171
1527, by Theodoricus Vater, says that

A DESIRE TO EAT
YOU WHAT YOU WANT
Stomachs Can 'be Restored to a
Healthy Condition.
Not to be limited in diet, but to eat
whatever' ho' pleases• is the- dream of
every dyspeptic. No one can honestly
promise to restore any stomach to
this happy conditidn, because all
people oannot eat the same things
with equally satisfactory results. But
It is possible to so tone up the diges-
tive organs that a pleasing diet may,
be selected from articles of food that
cause no discomfort.
When the stomach lacks tone there
is no quicker way to restore it than
to build up the blood. Good digestion
without rich, red blood is impossible,
and Dr. Williams': Pink Pills offer the
best way -to enrich the blood. For
this reason these pi1Ls are especially
good in stomach trouble attended by
thin blood, and in attacks o1 nervous
dyspepsia. Proof of the value df Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills in cases of indf-
ges•tion is given by Mr. John A, Mc-
Donald, Tarbot, N.S., who says:
"Every sufferer from indigestion has
my heartfelt sympathy, as I was once
myself a bond slave to it. Eating at
all became a trial, and as time went
on I became a mere skeleton of my
former self. I took all sorts of re-
commended medicines., doctors' and
advertised, but to no avail. Then a
friend said to try Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. I got a box and I thought be-
fore they were done I could feel a
change. Then I got six boxes more,
and by the time they were used I
was Dating my meals with regularity
-and enjoyment. My general health Is
now good, and it is no wonder that I
am an enthusiastic advocate of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills."
You can procure Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills through any dealer in medicine
or they will be sent you by mail at 50
cents a box or -six boxes for $2.50 by
writing direct to The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

I thought that beauty .was• forever
dead,
Until I saw a daffodil abloom .
And two bright tulips in my garden
bed
And silver spills beyond my little
room.
I thought that grief would ever go
from me,
Yet how wonderful aro all the days;
I am no longer hurt by misery
But wild with joy and tremulous with
praise.
0 God, let not too many white stars
fall,
Nor let your bushes bloom in one
small hoar,
I could not bear tiro beauty of it all,
For I would pause with awe before
each flower
And touch each blossom with my fin-
ger-tips
And feel the wind's first sweetness on
my lips.

tion and indigestion, colds and simple
fevers and make baby happy—there
surely is a smile in. every dose of the
Tablets, Baby's Own Tablets are sold

them so often as to bo unconscious o1
thia, Thus:—
"Two or three" always means three
and usually "at least three" or "three

"In a minute" averages anywhere

"Oh, I beg your pardon" (In Ouse of

"While I do not wish to appear

"Of course, it's no business of mine"

In war, our -sisters' played their part,
In peace, they conquer by "that sign";
Tender of hand and brave of heart,
True bearer's' of the Oroseed Ensign,
Our fallen comrades paid the price,
On inlanders' field they eleop to -day;
Shall we forget their sacrifice,
And on their s'hrino no offering lay?
O Croat+, keep thou our hearts from
shame,
11'rom selfish greed and foolish pride;
Lord God of Battles-, in Tliy Name,
We will keep faith with those who
died.
0 glorious legions of the Dead,
Teach us to walk the Master's way;
"Take up thy crass;" the Saviour
said—
We take it op, 0 Christ, to -day.

The First Dollar.
John D. Rockefeller has just des-
cribed to a group of admiring grand-
children haw, seventy-three year's ago,
he earned his first dollar by raising
and selling turkeys; and he has sig-
nalized --the occasion by distributing
bright new buffalo neckels, which may
prove the nest -egg of fortunes lin his
own.
Somebody might write an interest-
ing book by assembling accounts of
the way in which men who now have
big names • in the industrial world
made -their first dollar. If a boy in
this current year 0•f grace thinks he
hasn't a chance such as that which
Rockefeller or Carnegie or Edison or
Schwab had years ago, let Brim ask
himself what the boys of 2000 years
hence are going to do, The develop-
ment of this world • o1 ours,is just be-
ginning. Our country itself is still in•
its infancy. There are abounding luc-
rative opportunities• on every hand to-
day, such as no •past era in the world's
history has known.
The way the first dollar is earned
may determine the trend of a lifetime.
If it is earned dishonorably, it may fix
a taste that in the long run assures
disaster. Every dollar earned and put
to work or put by makes' it easier to
add to the number. Those who, even
from a elendor pittance, are abio to
save a little, have acquired a habit
that lays the surest foundation stone
of wealth.
Work, the Solution.
I am the foundation of all business.
I am the source of all prosperity,
I am the parent of genius.
I am the salt that gives life its
savor,
I have laid the foundation of every
fortune.
I can do more to advance youth
than his own parents be they ever so
wealthy.
I must bo loved before I can bestow
my greatest blessings, and achieve my
greatest ends,.
Loved, I make life sweet, purpose-
ful and fruitful.
I am represented' in the humblest
savings, in the highest stack of bonds,
All progress springs- from ale.
Who am I?
I am WORK,
