The cost of property and equipment of express companies was $1,194,246. Gross receipts totalled $18,680,092 as compared with $16,836,373, in the previous twelve months, while the net operating revenue was $450,243 as against 51,096,111 for the year ending June 30, 1917.

The number of reporting units, increase from 1695 in 1917 :.. 2,007 in 1918. The growth was greater in Sask- atchewan than in any other province. The number of reporting units by pro- vinces were as follows: P. E. 1., 32; Nova Scotia, 143; New Brunswick. 31; Quebec, 173; Ontario, 52S; Manitoba, 38; Saskatchewan, 727; Alberta, 8; British Columbia, 14; Yukon, 1, n 11 isnoted tisat the Governments of Alberta and Manitoba own practical- ly all of the telephone systems in the two provinces.

Net earnings as represented in the difference between gross re- ceipts and operating expenses were $9,108,765 in 19,18 as compared with $8,025,855 in 1917. Additions to and subtractions from primary net earnings reduce that a- mount to $5,187,321 THE TELEPHONE FIGURES.

Realizing her poverty and inabil- ity to do what she would like to for her country,,slie conceived the idea of utilizing the one-time mansion for a rest !tome, and, although it meant a great amount of labor and expense in the beginning, she knew that by hard work her efforts would be rewarded, The (house had to be gone over and made as clean as soap and water could accomplish. Many of the rooms had been newly papered, nice, clean cur- tains hung from the windows, and it was with keen delight that Eloise sur- veyed the surroundings. • Placing a well -worded advertisement in the paper, she now awaited some ap- plicants. Several days went by, and at last her efforts were rewarded by re- ceiving a generous supply of mall. Each letter she carefully answered. "1 never dreamed that there were so many people suffering in this World, as these letters denote" thought (liaise as every day brought her more mai, "Why child! what have you been do. in? 1 hardly knew the place," said Mrs. T— as she gazed at the improve- ments which, had been accomplished.

"No dear, 1 cannot bear it, to , think a t"—but her daughters' arms were around her and kissing the lips that would speak in protest. Eloise pressed into her mother's hands the precious supply of mail she had received. "Now, mother, 1 am tired of being a dependent and existing on the meager amount left us by our kinsmen. Just see all the good we can do if we can make a success of It—and I don't mean to fail, mother dear. Talk about slack- ers, 1 have felt like one and know 1 would be one if i did not do my duty." Mrs. T—telt a thrill of pride :ts she listened to her daughter's outburst, but it took some time and some persuasion to recoincile her to the fact that a T— would degrade herself by doing manual tabor. "Hector is to help, which will make the work so much easier. Mary will 'do'the cooking and-Rebewill do the errands." ' Eloise and her mother spent the en- tire evening answering the numerous letters. . "Some we shall never hear from, as they will think the price exor- bitant, but 1 would touch prefer a few at .a good price,'.' declared Eloise. The days passed rapidly. The guests were delighted and were loud in their praise of the benefits derived. Eloise was fairly bubbling over with joy at the success of her undertaking, A blue -coated messenger boy darted up the steps, and as Eloise receeived the. telegram her hands fairly shook.

The case is analyzed, but the people will hardly profit: "The fact that he was an unap- proachable master of the pianoforte would not have ' dislocated the popu- lar bump of understanding; that a musician may be versed in politics is not hidden even from the low -brows. • But Paderewski's flaming halo Marked him for exploitation, not as a musical genius, but as a man bizarre merely In his personal appearance. lie was easy to caricature, easy to make the but of good -matured, if frequently pointless witticisms: So he became known to millons as a strange, rather freakish individual first, as a pianist afterwards; and the enthusiasm his performances aroused added to his unwelcome fame.

The salve be gave me to put on was very severe, and the poor child would ory for an hour or more _ after an application. For six weeks it continued to spread all over her head, and came down to her neok and ears, She suffered terribly.

In Mebrows, chapters 1-10 the 'grounds of faith are (:!early set forth, In this 155800 its nature and glorious triumphs are displayed. L The Nature of Faith (1.1.:1.3). 1. Faith Is the eye of the soul, en- abling It to see the invisible (v. 1). It 15 not merely intellectual assent to that which commends itself as being reasonable, but it is the soul's attitude toward God. 2. Faith seizes the tiltegs of the future and lives and walks In their power In the present (v. 1). 3. It enabled the "elders" to obtain a good report (v. 2). It made God's promises so living and real to them that it became the dominant force In their lives, 4. Faith enables us to understand how the worlds were made (v. 8). No man was present when God made the i Worlds, so the foundatlen for our knowledge is the Word of God, The one who has faith wholly believes' that Word. II. The Triumphant Victories of Faith (11 :4-88). 1. Faith of the antediluvian saints (vv. 4.7). As representative of this period three men are• pointed out: (a) Abel (v, 4), who displayed his faith in his worship. He took nils place before God as a sinner and of- fered a bloody sacrifice, thereby show- ing that he looked forward to. Christ's atonement, which Is substitutionary— :a life for a life. (1') Enoch, who dis- played his faith In his walk in fel- lowship with God (v. 5). (e). Noand who by faith stood loyal to God In a time of universal apostasy and wick- nedness (v, 7). Noah's task was a stupendous and difficult one. He exe- cuted it in the face of many a sneer and taunt, but his faith carried him through, securing salvation for him- self and his family. 2. Faith of the Hebrew saints (vv. 8.38). (a) Abraham (vv. 8-10, 17-10). Abraham went out not knowing whither he went, but he knew that the Lord had spoken and that was enough. By faith he offered up Isaac, believing that God was able to. raise him up from the dead and fulfill his promise that In Isaac the promised seed should obtain. (b) Sarah through faith received strength to conceive seed when she was old, counting him faithful who had promised (vv. 11, 12). (c) Jacob by faith pronounced a prophecy concerning Joseph's sons (v. 21). By faith he penetrated the which unseen and pron„toshould be experiencedounceddetnie, by them both, (d) Joseph by faith foresaw the entrance of his people into the promised land and made them swear to carry his bones there for burial, for even his body must not be left behind In the land of judgment 'and death (v. 22). te) Moses (vv. 23-28). Faith In the heaiyts of his parents caused them to .disregard the• king's decree. Faith caused: him to turn his back upon the honors of Egypt and identify himselii• with )lis enslaved brethren. t .•ill.

SEND iN YOUR RENEWAL wiworimemowina CAR'S EXHAUST FUMES ARE DEADLY POISONOUS Every motorist should know and re- member that the exhaust fumes from an automobile motor are poisonous. When allowed to escape into the open air they are quickly dissipated and cause no damage. tho it is unwise to work close to the exhaust with the motor running, even in the open air. It is when the motorist works over his engine in a close unventilated garage that trouble comes. He is likely to be overcome before he re- alizes his danger, and as the motor goes on running his condition be- comes worse unless he is discovered. Uncles Sam's bureau of alines, which naturally concerns itself with poison- ous gases, has been in vestigating the automobile exhaust. These fumes, known`te the chemist as carbon mon- oxide, are the same as the gases in mines, which have long occupied the attention of the bureau. 15 has been determined that this gas is dangerous to life if present in the air breathed in quantities as small as two-tenths of one per cent. An ex- periment showed that the air within a small garage became extremely dan- gerous when the motor had been runn- ing for fifteen nsinutes, and fifteen minutes passes quickly when you are adjusting a motor. Carbon monoxide gives one no warning, it is odorless, colorless and tasteless, as well as deadly poisonous. it is so sudden in its effects and acts So without warning that the collapse of the driver is followed by death in many cases. The fatalities from this cause have been increasing of late as cording to government reports.— Milestones. Mr. and Mrs. Jnc.
