"For over three years, I was
confined to bed with Rherusatisre.
During that time, I had treatment
from a number of doctors, and tried
nearly everything I saw advertised to
cure Itheumatism, without receiving
any benefit.
Finally, I decided to try `Fruit -a•
fives". Before I had used half a box,
I noticed an improvement ; the pain
was net so severe, and the swelling
started to go clown. "
I continued taking this fruit rne-
rlicine, improving all the time, and
now I can walk about two miles and
do light chores about the plane".

Council of Scientific and indus-

dustrial Congress that Alberta's
coal supply would last only five •
thousand years with the present
population and two thousand
years with a population of
twenty millions. Canada need-
ed an organized institution that
would direct the development

England, and their resent Victory Loan
was for the purpose, In part, of liqui-
dating that short date liability. One
!feature which they emphasized in their
advertising and appeal to public was
the necessity of liquidating the im-
mense short -date liability which was
troubling the financing of the Govern-
ment very seriously. They have a very
large unfunded debt still, notwithstand-
ing the completion of their Victory
Loan campaign a week or o ago. In
the United States this spring they were
obliged to bring on their Victory
Loan for the purpose of liquidating
short -date liabilities and floating in-
debtedness of the Government to a
very large amount. In Canada, after
the,,,armistice was signed, we found
ourselves in the position of still having
funds on hand, the proceedsof the last
Victory Loan, and if it had been for
the demand for credits, especially wheat
credits, we should not be obliged
to borrow as extensively the banks
as we have been doing forte last two
or three months, In comparsion with
other countries, Canada's position is
an exceedingly fortunate one from
the standpoint of the funding of our
liabilities. 1 think that it is a very
gratifying feature, and willundoubt-
edly have a very steadyin influence
upon the market value of our securities
from this time'forward. I have shown
that we need make no apologies for this
loan, We are going to people of
this country and we are to offer
them a security which is great ad-
vantage to them. We believe it will be
a good investment. We want to make
them realize that it is necessary for
the purpose of putting theDominion
finances on a stable and sound basis,
by liquidating our floatingindebted-
ness, to complete the expenses of de-
mobilization, to furnish the necessary
credits for the marketing f our pro-
duce, and to carry out our reconstruct-
ion program which will keep steady our
industries as far as possibleand give
employment to our people.
ACHIEVEMENT AND TASK.
Personally, I should regretmore than
1 can say to see a condition in this
country in which many hundreds of
thousands of people were out of work.
Apart altogether from its economic as-
pect, there is the huthan side of it,
which appeals very strongly to ate. We
have come through this with great
credit to the country and tothe indivi-
dual classes in the community, agricul-
tural, industrial, commercial and fin-
ancial. Personally, I had the
support, which I appreciate more than
I can say,'of all sections f the com-
munity, irrespective of political affilia-
tions, race, creed, or calling,and if any
credit is due for the whole situation -
and it is a. most creditable situation -
and for the part that we have played in
the war, both at the frontad at home,
and in the management of our financ-
ing and the maintenance our com-
merce and industry, that credit belongs
to all the people of Canada.
On the human side, it would be a
most regretable, a most serious thing,
if the people who have played such a
worthy part in this. war should find
themselves in a condition in which they
should be unable to proves for their
Thatisthem material
families. most
factor in the national situation. It is,
therefore, a proper part our policy
to strive to maintain our industry and
business, not only for the purpose of
keeping it going Lei D.; KIM lend Ad-
eantage that is le it, but ii so for the
purpos.e of affording employment. To
have stopped everything suddenly
would have been disastrous from every
standpoint and would have resulted
in the greatest possible mount of
suffering in this country, To a certain
extent these considerations apply when
looking to the future. That 7s a
policy that must commend itself to our
judgment, from the standpoint of stabi-
lizing our finances, from the stand-
point of supplying needed credits for
the sale of our products, and from the
standpoint of affording employment
for the months that are come, So
that i think we have reasonable
ground of appeal to present to the pub-
lic, 1 believe that if we point out that
this 'loan is absolutely necessary, and if
we place the facts properly i fore•tliem
we shall have no difficult)n making
their judgment coincide with ours.
Time will always go forward, We may
always naturally have some foreboding
and hesitation about the public
will do with regard to this loan. They
will say: "The war is over, the war
spirit is gone, and we are going to
have an exceedingly difficult task."
Maybe we are, but that only means that
we will have to redouble our efforts.
I ant satisfied, knowing the people of
this country as I do, that we can get
our appeal to the reason and patriotism
of the people, we will have no difficulty
in raising tete money which we will re-
quire this year.

and as a consequence of our favorable
position, in a country that had never
before floated a loan of more than $5,-
000,000 in the last Victory Loan we
raised nearly $700,000,000. That did
not happen by accident. The respon-,
sibility had to be undertaken and the
organization had to be brought into be-
ing that would accomplish the result,
acting as it did upon the intense pat-
riotism of the Canadian people. The
results that have been accomplished
have been such as to reflect credit up-
on all. Although I am retiring, 1 feel
a certain responsibility towards the
future financing of this country, ,lot
only because 1 have been Minister of
Finance, but because 1 am a citizen of
Canada. 1 would hope -and 1 am sure
my hope will not be disappointed -that
everyone will take a like view of the
situation. We have been . joined to-
gether in providing mob* without
which Canada's war effort would have
been impossible. I do not think any
of us can say that because the war is
at an end, and because we are eman-
cipated from war duties, we have no
continuing responsibility toward this
situation. As far as I an concerned,I
am entirely willing and desirous to do
what 1 can to make this coming loan a
success, although 1 shall not be identi-
fied with it as Minister, We t'11I have
the satisfaction of saying that we did
not relax our effort immediately the
war was over, but that we put through
the job of seeing that the floating debt
of the country was funded -we have
cleaned up the situation.
KEEP CHILDREN WELL
DURING HOT WEATHER
Every mother knows how fatal the
hot summer months are to small
children. Cholera infantum, diarr-
hoea, dysentry, colic and stomach
troubles are rife at this rime and
often a precious little life is lost
after only a few hours illness. The
mother who keeps Baby's Own Tab-
lets in the Mous feels safe. The oc-
casional use of the Tablets prevent
stomach and bowel troubles, or if
trouble comes suddenly -as it gener-
ally does -the Tablets will bring the
baby safey through. They are sold

. APPEAL
I do not believe that the people of
the country begin to realize the for-
midable responsibility which con-
fronted the government, and especially
myself, as Minister of Finance, in war
time, the treasury loses control to a
large extent over the expenditures. Our
armies are at the front, he nation is
putting forth its utmost efforts, and it
is out of the question the Minister
of Finance, even if he disposed to
do so, to say: "We are going to have
difficulty In finding the money." When
the nation is putting forth its utmost
effort, fighting for its life, Lt has no
tolerance for any that the
Govermnent cannot find the ruoney,
The people sny: "We are going to fight
and to win this war, and the money
must be found. If you cannot find it
as Minister of Finance, t e will get an-
other Minister of Finan e, and if the
government cannot find t we will get
another government." Finance be-
comes secondary in . ear time; the
money must be found, We did not re-
sort to the inflation of our paper curs
reney as they did In Great)Britain and in
the countries of Europe. Our currency
situation is not bad at all. It is better

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 14
THE JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS.
LESSON TEXT -Matt. 28:31.46.
t*OLDEN TEXT -For we must all ap-
pear before the judgment seat of Christ.
-II Cor, 6:36.
The subject selected by the lesson
committee Is "The Future Life," but
at best such a statement would be
the use of the term In an accommo-
dated sense. According to legitimate
textual and contextual signification it
1s the judgment of the tieing nations
which lies stilt in the future (v. 32).
The idea of a general judgment
which is of such frequent occurrence
in religious literature and teaching is
a fundamental error. It is not one`
found in the Bible, neither the idea
which It is intended to convey. Doc-
tor. Pentecost most distinctively says,
"It is n mischievous habit that has led
the Christian world to speak of the
judgment as being one great event
taking place at the end of the world,
when nil human beings, suints, sin-
ners, Jews and Gentiles, tete living
and the dead, shall• stand up before
the great white throne and there be
judged. Nothing can be more wide of
the Scriptures." The Bible speaks of
different judgments, differing in re-
spect to the subjects to be judged, the
plate of jottg nen:t, the time of judg-
ment and the result of the judgment.
This is not the judgment set forth
In Revelation 20:11-14, hut precedes
that one at least one thousand years,
1. The Judge (v. 33.).
It is the Son of Man, the one who
came and died to redeem the human
race, and who now being clothed with
majesty end power will act as judge,
These who accept him now shall not
come into the judgment (John 5:24.).
11. The Time (v. 31).
This will be when the Lord comes
in his glery, accompanied by a retinue
of glorious angels. Tilts will take
place after he has gathered the elect
remnant of Israel, There will be no
resurrection in connection with this
judgment.
III. The Place (v, 31).
It will be ou his glorious throne.
This throne will he most surely in the
land of Israel. The Prophecy of Joel,
third chapter. and Zechariah 34:1-5,
make it to be in or near 3erusalene
The angel said to f4ary, "Thou shalt
call his name Jesus; he shall be great
and shall be called the son of the high-
est; and the Lord God than give unto
him the throne of his fattier David;
and he shall reign over the house of
Jacob forever, and of his king(jpm
there shall be no end." (Luke 1:3T-38),

the earth after the church has been
translated (I Thess. 4:16, 17). These
are the nations to whom the gospel of
the kingdom sha'iit be preached, just
prior to the comipg of the end. "And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be
preached in all the world for a wit-
ness unto all nations and -then shall
the end come" (Matt, 24:14). This
gospel is distinguished from the gos-
pel of the grace of God which is now
being preached.. The preachers of this
gospel will he Jews (Rev. 7 find Rom.
11). These are the brethren In the
flesh, of the Lord, they that move
among the nations of the world with
the startling message of the news of
the Lord's approaching 'kingdem..
Some of the nations will gladly ee-
celve the message and most kindly'05-
ceive the king's messengers, giving
them clothing, food, shelter, etc, oth-
ers will persecute them, thrusting
then into prison, etc. Here the for-
mer will visit these messengers of the
king and provide for their wants. At
this time the judge will separate the
nations, placing the slieep en the right
and the goats on the left. The "sheep"
are those who have given proper treat-
ment to, Christ's brethren, The goats
are thodh who rejected and ill-treated
Ms brethren. If these three classes,
the "sheep," "goats," "brethren," be
kept separate n11 -'confusion will be
avoided.
eiV. The Issue of the Judgment., (v. 46,
cf. 34-41).
1. The sheep enter upon the inherL-
tance of n. prepared kingdom (y, 34).
2. The gouts go into an everlasting
fire prepared for the devil and his
angels (v. 46). This judgment shall
determine their destiny,

NATION'S HABITS
In the Victory Loan cam-
paign newspaper p u b l i c i t y
changed the habits of the na-
tion. It worked ;t complete
transformation in the national
mind, Before the war less
than one half of one per cent,
of the people bought bonds.
Now more than one person in
every eight is a bond holder.
Advertising did it. Newspaper
Advertising justified itself as the
surest and speediest method by
which a man's reason can be in-
fluenced and directed. The
governments used it to guide
public opinion during the war,
It has been used to sell bonds,
to urge the people to save
money and conserve food.
Are you making the best use
of the power of advertising? If
it can sell bonds, it surely can
sell your merchandise. Use it
use it intellligently.
It pays to advertise.

A Sure Sign That The Blood Is
Watery and Impure.
People with thin blood are much
more subject to headaches than full
blooded persons, and the form of anae-
mia that afflicts growing girls is almost
always accompanied by headaches, to-
gether with disturbance of the diges-
tive organs,
Whenever you have constant or re-
curring headaches and pallor of the
face, they show that the Had is thin
and your efforts should be directed to-
ward building up your blood. A fair
treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills will do this effectively, and the
rich, red blood made by these pills
will remove the headache,
More disturbances to the health are
caused by their blood than most peo-
ple have any idea of. When your blond
is impoverished, the nerves suffer from
lack of nourishment, and you may be
troubled with insomnia, neuritis, neu-
ralgia or sciatic. Muscles subject to
strain are under -nourished and you
may have muscular rheumatism or
lumbago. If your blood is thin and
you begin to show symptoms of any of
these disorders, try building up the
blood' with Dr, Williams' Pink Pills,
and as the blood is restored to its nor-
mal condition every symptom of the
trouble will disappear. There are more
people who owe their present state of
good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
than to any other medicine, and most
of them do nut hesitate to say so.
You can get Dr. Wiliam' Pink Pills
through any dealer in medicine or by
mail at 50 cents box or six boxes for
$2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine

You May Be •
Skeptical
About What Dr. Chase's Nerve
Food Will Do for You, But
Here is the Evidence.
When the blood gets thin and
Watery, when the nerves . become
weak and exhausted, when • your
vitality Is %run down and you reel
weak and tired It is because
nourishment is lacking.
You may be eating as usual but
your digestive system fails to ob-
tain from the food you eat the ele-
ments from which new blood and
nerve force is created.
Because Dr. Chase's Nerve Food
supplies this element to the blood
and nerves it is the most successful
of restoratives,
While personal experience with a
medical treatment is the only ab-
solute proof that»it will benefit
You. still we are all similarly con-
stituted and what will help one will
help another under similar con -
dittoes.
This is why it is so inter`gting to
read the experience of otheieople,
and many will gad in this totter
their own conditions described.
Airs. Thomas Williamson, Piston,
Ont., writes: 'For the last twenty
years I have had trouble with mur

BRITISH WATERS
FULL OF WRECKS
Many Ships Sunk by the Huns Are In
Channels and Near Harbors.
British waters have always been
hazardous for navigation, especially
during fog, storm, and gales; but lust
now they are more dangerous than
ever before, owing to the wrecks that
are strewn throughout the North Sea,
the English Channel, the Irish Sea, and
the waters of the Atlantic off the
south-west coast of Ireland, Wendell
M. Whiting, writing in Sea Power (New
York), tells us that it will cost a good
deal of money to remove many of these
dangerous wrecks, and he thinks that
the German Government should be
held to account for the hundreds of
ships sent to Davy Jones' locker dur-
ing the past four years of war, He
writes:
"Many of these ships were sunk in
water too deep to incur any danger
to navigation, but there are also manj
located in the approaches to harbors,
in channels and passages that are
much used, and these necessarily
must he removed to ensure safety to
the shipping that must be carried on,
now that the war is over. There are
several localities where the wrecks
are particularly numerous. There are
practicable.
