Balfour Lhead of the British mission to visit United States in the interests of o -operation in the war, is supposed be extremely pleasing to the United tates. It is conceded that no man of reater experience could have been iosen for the work. Mr. Balfour s been prince minister of England, der of the House of Commons, first •d of the treasury, first lord of the miralty, and is now minister for for- Ign affairs. He was at the head of the Idnniralty in the coalition cabinet form - k during the war, and since the min- iterial revolution engineered by Prime 11inister Lloyd George itas been in lrrharge of the conduct of foreign re - tions. , Mr. Balfour will be able to give ?resident Wilson a complete expres- lion of the wishes of the British gov- krnment with regard to what it de- iires the United States to do in the ``W�ork of bringing the war agdtnst the ,erman government tete a successful conclusion. It is taken for granted khat Mr. Balfour will have ready a num- ber of suggestions for co-operation be- tween. the two nations, and possibly for bq o3 tiol}av Io taua8oad v Sullslinmaol garried out by all the allies.

Professor John C. McLennan, head of the Department of Physics of the University of Toronto has been signal ly honored by being invited to sit on the British Board of Inventions and Re- search, a body which is under the chair- manship of Sir John Fisher, and is one of the war subdivisions of British Ad-' miralty work. Prof. A'leLennan will leave soon, but the' date cannot be an- nounced. 1 -le will probably occupy the post for the summer,. Prof. McLennan is this year's Presi- dent of the Royal Canadian Institute and his inaugural address before that body showed a close study of months past of the excellent work the Board of Invention and Research is doing, through most of it remains ror the present a secret as the British navy itself. 1t has to do with all Inventions offered so numerously for new methods in sea warfare, including the ways of foiling submarine attacks. Perhaps its next most important function is that of devisng ways and means by which science shall be better -linked with trade in the British Empire after the war, and it is in this no doubt that the co-opera- tion of Pruf. McLennan as Canadian representative will be most highly es- teemed and most valuable afterwards to the Dominion. Prof. McLennan's Career. Prof. McLennan is it native of In- gersoll, Ont., but for years resided in Stratford, and was educated at the University of Toronto and at Cam- bridge University. His association with the professorial staff dates to 1892 when he was appointed an assistant demonstrator in physics. In 1906 he was selected by the Dominion Govern- ment to lecture on the metrical system throughout Canada. l-iis contribution to the scientific press has been Large and valuable. It is largely due to his effort that the line physics Indicting of the University was erected. ile had much to do with the actual design. Prof. McLennan has travelled widely. The Prof. in his younger days lived in Clinton with his parents, when his father was grain buyer here for a time, before moving to Stratford. �WSnj SOLDIER WRITES TO SCHOLARS.

CANADA IN THE CONFLICT.i Never neglect what at first seems to be but a slight cold. You think perhaps, you are strong enough to fight it off, but colds are not so easily fought off in this northern climate, and if they are not attended to at once will sooner or later develop into some serious lung trouble such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and per- haps that dreadful disease, consumption. Miss ICasye McDonald, Sydney Mines, N.S., writes: "Last winter I contracted a severe cold, and it settled on my lungs, I would cough and raise phlegm and blood. I had the sough for a month, and had medicine train the. doctor, but it did not seem to do me any good, I really thought I had consumption. My friends advised me to use Dr, Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, which I did, and it gave ane great relief. I am very glad I used ' Dr. Wood's,' and would recommend itto every one." You can procure Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup from any druggist or dealer, but be sure and get "Dr. Wood's," when you ask for it as there are a number of imitations on the market,, which some dealers may try to palm Of on you as the genuine. nSce that it 11 put up in'a yellow wrap- per; three pine trees is the trade mark; price 25c. and 50e.

McCurdy, Parliament Secetary of the Department of Militia in an address at Halifax on "Canada and the Conflict." Mr, McCurdy said that, taking the number enlisted in the C.E.F. (407302) and adding thereto the permanent force, active militia, naval service, direct en- listment in the British service and ww Canadians who had as reservists join- ed the colors of the mother countries who are our allies, 449,184 Canadians resident in the Dominion oat the out- break of the war have left their previ- ous pursuits and have taken up arcus. Notwithstanding the lamentations of those who say that recruiting Is dead, enlistments were still coming in a, a enlistments were still coming in at a rate of more than 7,000 per month. "Who," he asked, "before he war, would have thought it posible that after two and one-half years of war and after 449,000 Canadians had already joined the Allied forces, men would under the voluntary system be coming forward at the rate of over 85,000 per year?" After referring to the magnificent part the women had taken in the war, Mr. McCurdy said that upwards of 1,000 women, all mothers, sisters or daughters of overseas men, were en- gaged in carrying on the work of the 10,..+i*r... ......_ .. :s,nnrr1 Militia Pay and.

Whereas in the last pre-war year Can. ado's adverse foreign trade balance had been $309,000,000, this year shows in- stead al creditor balance of 8325,000,- 000, an improvement for 12 montlas of 8634,000,000, and the total annual value of foreign trade is crowding up close against the two billion mirk. Canada has enlisted six mend one- quarter per cent, of Tier total popula- tion. By provinces, the enlistment has been in proportion to population as follows; Quebec, 2% per cent,; Prince Edward Island, 2,6 per cent.; Nova Scotia, 4 V., per cent.; New Brunswick, 5, per cent.; Ontario, 6 2-3 per cent.; Manitoba and Saskatchewan, 6 2-3 per cent.; Alberta, 9 1-3 per cent.; and Briticln Columbia, 10 per cent. Canadians have 110 reason to feel ashamed of their part in this great struggle. What they have done has won the praise and unstinted admira- tion of the Empire and the Empire's Allies, has excited the amazement of the neighboring republic and the hatred and chagrin of the Germans. The duty of the hour is to do even more in this "victory year" of the awful contest.. Are you interested in the Back yard garden?
