Since the imposition of the 'war tax on letters and poatoards the volume of snail matter posted in Canada has decreased by about 10 per i:en1. The wad u5x eels expected to add a little more khan 50 per cent to the postoffice rev- enue, but in the consequence ot economy practiced bee the public in the matter on saving on .letters and postcards, undilr the higher rate, the incraesed revenue ,leas been considerably less than luitici- pared. For the rust four months oil the operation of the war 'bas the department's revenue has in- creased by $1,1000;000, or about 30 per cent, as compared with tie corresponding period of last year.

Miss Grant, who is superintendent of the Deaconess Training 'Home, Toronto, gave n very interesting account of itIie work of the Ilome, She described a Deaconess as a woman whose whole time is given to the service of Christ.

E, Broadfoot of Km gmonn, South China, was the next speaker. He began by speaking of the general impression 'bat China never changed. He said tbet in the seven years he was in China there were 1tdical changes, the fall of the Manchu dynasty and the disappearance of the "pig tail" Which tri elanchus had e uipelled the ()Meese to wear its a, sign et servitude.

Men are kept orderly, clean and de- cent through the strength of an obse- quiousness to social opinion which the prophets of individualism are in such haste to deplore. The social code, no doubt, always involves much inade- quacy, much stupidity, some hypocri- sy and some wickedness; but, taken by and large, the average of its prescrip- tions rescriptions has probabiy been higher in ev- ery age than the average of undirected and unfettered 'Individual impulse. Many of the things embodied in that wide ranging, multifarious thing call- ed the sense of the community are un- doubtedly right, since they were once the distinctions of heroic minorities or the discoveries of fearless individuals. -0.

A 'Federal Responsibility The responsibility for these men falls primarily neon the Dominion Government, which, despi(pits huge and increasing financial 'ob- ligations, has granted. the soldiers service pay, separation allowances and 'pensions, which must be.re- garded as generous when cotnpor-. cd with those paid in former wars; and 'in other conrasides in this war. But even math the aid of 154e; pen- soils, thousands of ,maimed and Airily incapacitated men will net bel able to i resume life upon the scale to which they were Used be- fore enlisting. Pensions Must Be Supplemented 1't is in Vie V7 of this contingency that Senator Lougheed, while Act- ing Munster of Militia, asked the public to divert its donations for machine guns to a Disabled Stil- chers' ;Fund, Seemingly it will bet necessary to supplement the Gov - e rnmenl pension, in 'fiery many cases from private sources, and for this purpose 'thorough organiz a Lion will be required. A(' ustful guide to what should be done is found in a report pre3Sared by ,a lT'rerrch Government of France, , The Nation's Obligation Tel this report it is pointed out that the nation is' in duty bound to secure its disabled soldiers in an honorable dying. Their injur- ies will be various, and varied in their °ffactp. In too many cases the 'victims will be unequal to their former oe''upaidols. They still need what the riepor't calls "functional re -adaptation. " That is to say, they will have to,. ''.be fitted for and placed in new voca- tions. To begin with, every pos- sible post in the 0011 and civic ser- ovices must be re:(ei't'ed for these returned hordes Every office or berth in the gift of the Dominion Government, the Provincial Gov- ernments, municipalities and in or ganizations under the control 'of the Stiate must go to the eternal gratitude of the State. Educating to New Callings In the next place, industries and occupations must be sought out in which there is a lack o0 11an(is, Aird the development of. ' which wouldslake thorn self-supporting.

In no case should al y of these men, through lack of proper treatment, be allowed fro sink into habits of idla'ness and sloth. 'l''o' this reason two long a time must not elapse between their .return and their re-edueatign'and employment. This question is of 1 ast importance to the State as to the soldiers them:jelve.e If the prollem is effectively handled an immense sa1'ing will be made to t0 the public treasury.

Important Decision at Seaforth Regarding Liquor in Hotels In a case brought under (the Canada Temperance Act a shot* time ago, against Thomas Steph- ens, heteikegper of Seatorth, the prosecution showed that some liq- uor was found on ('the premises, but not -in the barroom. Lawyer Best, who acted for Stephens, put no evidence in, but he contended that, as. ', no lictuor nags found in the barroom, the prosecution must prole that the liquor found in any other part of the premises was there for sale, and that it is only « here any 0quor is fonnd inethe barroom that it is, under the 'act, deemed to be kept for sale. • The police magistrate, Mr. N. Hohnsterd, K. C„ aeceptied Ms. Best's contention and dismissed the case. 151' Seager, who wr:15 acting for the prosecutor, argued that the liquor is deemed to be kept for sale if found anywhere in the hotel premises and declared, he would carry the case to a high- er court, It! is reported that D'Ii', Seager has since found that Mr. Best's contention was right and that it would be' useless for rum to appeal. • The decision is an im portant one from the hoteikeepers' standpoint.
