What are the factors, making up such
'a condition?
The'costs of operation are no'greater

ways than on any other railway in the
Rlnited States or Canada. The problem
..of costs is no more the peculiar problem
-of Canadian National Railways than,it. is
?the peculiar problem of, the Canadian

that the ideal was realized in great

'..the Canadian railway problem. The in-
crease in rates and fares saved the
'tCariadian Pacific from operating loss,
'because they produced from the aye
tillable tonnage and passengers the suf-
ficient increased earnings to meet the
'higher wage and other operating ex-
pense increases, Hence, in the fixing
..of this rate and fare increase, the nec-
ebssities of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
• way's were considered on basic, and not
` those of the Canadian National. Had
the latter been the "considered road,"

',have been still greater, for, in that case,
'It would, necessarily, have been based

WHAT IS WRONG
WIN AGRICULTURE?
(Fgraaler's Sun)
What is wrong with agricultdre?
The writer reeesatiy spent a week -end
in Huron County and, as the result of
that visit, .carne away more than ever
impressed with the necessity of read
justihig our eeouonatq burdens • so that
agriculture might be' Eivell a fighting
chance, ' '
Huron County is one of the best in
the Province, The land is fertile, a-
bundantly watered, well wooded, suit-
able for grazing, grain growing, fruit
growing, and mixed farming, .''lie peo-.
pie area virile rade, gifted with vision
.and possessed of more than the ordin-
ary breadth and tolerance, The farmers
are unusually progressive; numbers of
them being university graduates, or
,thaine'd at the Ontario Agricultural
College. As a whole they take a .keen
interest in the Farmers' Movement, ship
their cattle co-operatively, and buy their
ihecessities iii the same way. ,The short
courses at 'the University attract many
of Atha young people, while the club
meetings, the debates, and other fea-
tures, prove of interest to a large pro-
portion of the population.
In spite of the virility of the people
in spite of the fact that they work hard,
that they are unusually thrifty, and pro-
gressive, Huron County lost 10,850
people is the eighteen years between
1900 and 1918. At the beginning of
the century the' County had a.poputa-
tion of 43,223, eighteen years later, it
had but 32,373. Thus in that short
time, rural Huron lost the population of
a fair sized city. Every township in the
county contributed its quota.
Again we point out that people do
not quit a money making job. There
must be some reason or combination of
reasons for this decline in the rural
population, . We wonder sometimes if
our governments, our manufacturers
and city people in general realize the
seriousness of the situation. Let this
continue for another eighteen years at
the same ratio as it has for the 'past
eighteen, 'and there will be a serious
food shortage confronting us. Already
empty houses, and farms turned over
to grass, point to a period when high
wages will be more than .absorbed by the
higher cost of food ;tuffs, and the con-
dition of the working man will be worse
than it is to -day. Before it is too late,
there should be a drastic stock -taking
on the part of the people of this Pro-
vince, otherwise, we will be brought
face to face with our economic downfall.
The 'story of Huron could be repeated
of every county in the Province. What
is wrog with agriculture?
"National” lines each way per day,
would wipe out the deficit at the
rates existing. The deficit, due to a
shortage of tonnage available can be
removed by the necessary increase in
tonnage, and by that only.
The question of tnanagenheut en-
ters into the Canadian railway prob-
lem only AS 10 the degree of efficien-
cy in which the available tonnage is
moved' over the lines,
• Could the deficit be any less?
It is proposed to get out in this
series the comparison between the
costs of maintenance' of a mile of line
on the C. It R. aid on the Canadian
railways as a whole; the costs of se-
curing traffic; he comparison of
general expense; the costs of main-
taining motive power and rolling
stock, and the costs of transporting
people and their goods 'maver the lines.
These are the reaso able measured
tests of efficiency lie between the
handling of traffic over one set of
rails as compared with the same ser-
vice over those of a competitor.

HOW RHEUMATISM
CAN BE OVERCOME
Not by Rubbing, But by Enriching
The Blood.
Rheumatiern is a disorder of the
blood. it attacks people when the
blood is overcharged with acid
and impurities, thus setting up
inflammation in the muscles and
joints. Wet weather or cold wea-
ther may start the tortures of
rheumatism, but it is not the cause.
The cause is in the blood. Victims of
tlfis malady have every reason to
fear the first d.ull ache in the limbs
and joints, followed by sharp pains
through the flesh and muscles; these
are the symptoms of poisy'r in the
blood, which will shortly' leave the
victim painracked and helpless. Lini-
ments, hot applicatiofis and rubbing
may")ttve temporary ease, but can-
not possibly root the trouble out of
the system. That can only be done
by enriching the blood. This new
blood drives out the poisonous im-
purities, and the 'rheumatism disap-
pears, 11 you are a sufferer from
this painful malady, begin the use of
Dr, Williams' Pink Pills and see how
soon the pains and stiffness• of the
joints fade away. Among those who
have benefitted by the use of these
pills is Mr: Freeman Irving, Baxter
Harbor, N: S., who says, "Some time
ago my blood was in 15 terrible con-
dition, leaving ane very much run
down, and with boils breaking out on
my body, To add to my misery
rheumatism set in, and I not only
suffered greatly from the pain, but
could only get around with the
greatest difficulty, After trying sev-
eral medicinies without much suc-
cess, i decided to give Dr,. Williams'
Pink Pills they as t y had been
warially reconvnend'ed to ane. I think
used nine boxes altogether, but the
results nte,t' my every expectation, AS
both the boils and the rheumatism dis-
appeared, Naturally 1 feel that 1 can-
not praise the pills too higity."
