The Onterle Department of Agri- culture is making a survey of the waste lands of old and new Ontario for the purpose of obtainhig informs - tion regarding their possibilities for mittlii and sheep ranching. This our- vey should reveal some interesting facts and be the means of obtaining valuable information, A survey of this nature should be conducted Ain every -province of Can - oda, In fact, all of our land should be carefully classified preceding settle- ment, to prevent settlers making the mistake of locating on land unsuitable for farming, In travelling over Can- ada, one cannot but be Impressed by the need of this, In Ontario, in the Trent watershed, there are to be found to -day pitiful cases of disappointment, the settlers having expended their en- ergy for years on land that will never be anything more than patches of gravel and sand. In places in New Brunswick, settlers are merely exist- ing on land which is not suitable for Made in Canada. agriculture and should have been kept in forest.

Saskatchewan, there is an area known locally as 'the burnouts' where set- tlers have been forced out because they could not make a living. Other provinces have similar difficulties. Various excuses may be mane as to why these errors have happened in the past, but none can be offered for their continuance, Whether the Crown land in a province be under provincial or Dominion control, it is the duty of the government having jurisdiction to see that it is properly classified, and, that settlers are al- lowed only on land suitable for agri- culture and where there is reasonable assurance that a decent living can be made. STILL TRUE TO FORM. Kaiser Thinks That German Sward Will Win Respect. If any one has any idea that the Kaiser is not roady to blurt out his inmost self on the slightest provoca- tion, all lie has to do is to read the latest outburst to the effect "that the German sword will regain for us the respect of the whole world." That ho is still true to form in his belief that might makes right, as he is in living up to the ideas that the old heathen religion of Germany is a thing to con- jure with, by calling Hindenburg"Wo- tan" and Ludendorff "Siegfried," is made evident once more. Indeed,.it is part of the general mania that ob- sesses him, For as the world shud- ders at the naked German sword, dripping with the blood of Belgium and the babes of Northern France, this madman of Potsdam complacently opines that the sword will make him and his respected. But the delusion is one which cannot be cured except by, the stern poliice measures of an out- raged world being carried to their fin- ality. "In Belgium, in the spring of this year," so runs a chronicle, "a train calve from Aix to Antwerp bear- ing 255 returned exiles, forty-eight hours on the way, no food on the voy- age, with .every one taken from the train on a stretcher, and on fifty of the stretchers, dead men; men who died en route, not from forty-eight hours without food only but from three months' experience of German ways inwar."This is the Germanwaythat a the infatuate Kaiser believes is win- ning respect of the world. Could there be any more evidence of the unfitness of this man with the sword to arrange a peace? Out of his own mouth he is convicted and by the damning 'evidence coming !from men like Gerard and Hugh Gibson. • TRENCH -MADE WILLS. Tommy's Efforts in Will -Making Are Interesting and Effective. When John Doe wants to make his `"last will and testament" he usually has his lawyer clo the work for him to avoid the possibility of complications arising aftee his death, but when Tom- my Atkins" in the trenches wants his will made 11e has to draw it up him- self as there is little' or no time to seek legal assistance. Although the results of "Tommy's" efforts in will- malong may be somewhat crude from the legal standpoint, his product, nevertheless, has proved interesting unci effective. His testament is fre- quently written in his little pay -hook which is always with him, whether "going over the top" or at rest in his billet back of the firing line; and many of these trench -wills have "Tommy Atkins's" characteristic touch of hu- mor. Some of them aro in dialect, others in phonetic spelling, some in rhyme and some have even been in al- phas Occasionally wills have been made leaving imaginary possessions to institutlbns or to fictitious persons. While on duty, Mesa "listening post" in "No Man's Land" a soldier wrote the following will in rhyme: I haven't a sweetheart, I haven't a mother, I've only one sister, not even a bro- ther; My sister Katy is all I've got, So of ought that's mine, elle cot have the Iot, ' This will went through the court without a question. The War Department authorities Make every effort to have the soldier's wishes executed, no matter ;tow crude- ly they may be expressed or however fantastic they are.

Baby's Own Tablets break up calcis and simple fevers; cure constipation, colic and indigestion and make teeth - TI -JE CAUSE OF BACKACHE Every muscle in Ole booty needs constantly a supply of rich, red blood in proportion to the work it does. The muscles of the back are under a heavy strain and have but little rest. When the blood is thin they lack nourish- ment, and the result is a sensation of pain in those muscles. Some people tltinic pain in the back means kidney trouble, but the best medical authori- ties agree that backache seldom or never has anything to do with the kid- neys. Organic kidney disease may have progressed to a critical point without developing a pain in the back. This -being the case pain,,in the back should always lead the sufferer to look to the condition of his blood. It will be found in most cases that the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to build up the blood will stop the sensation of pain _in the ill -nourished muscles of the back. How much better it is to try Dr. Williams' Pink P1115'"for the blood than to give way to unreason- able alarm about your kidney's. If you suspect your Kidneys any doctor can make tests in ten minutes that will set your fears at rest, or tell you the worst. But in any event to be perfect- ly healthy you must keep the blood in good condition, and for this purpose no other medicine eau equal Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville Ont. INVENTOR OF BEST PAPER B Little Massachusetts Girl Made chine To Turn Out Bags. Nearly fifty years ago a letter was received by the United States Board of Patents at Washington asking for a patent on a machine for making pa- per bags. The letter was signed by a girl. "Who is this?" questioned the men in Washington. "The machine cannot be worth much. Who ever heard of a This frock of tan broadcloth has a girl inventing a machine that was white broadcloth collar of unusual any good?" But when the machine arrived it was a surprise. Not only was it nearly perfect in every detail, but the paper bags that it turned out were better than any that these men: had seen before. And the girl was; awarded the patent desired. This girl was Margaret Knight, born and bred in Ma sachusetts. When she was still a little girl her dolls would be left scattered oyer the floor' while she ran out of doors to play AG.

AN EXCELLENT SERVICE For the last two years the Canadian Pacific Railway, in connection with the Pacific steamers of the Canadian Pa- cific Ocean Services, has carried a very large proportion of the passen- gers from the United States to Russia, and as these passengers have included a great many American railroad men, who have been surprised at the excel- lence of the service, a remarkable volume of trade is developing, greatly to the benefit or Canada itself, Among theseasses els was the American p g Railway Advisory Commission con- sisting of the lcvding railway exports of the United Stales, who travelled from Cihicego to Vancouver, and thence to Yak01wtna vie the Empress of Asia. 141r. henry J1 ler, vice-chair- man of this highly inlpertant commis- sion, has written Vice -President G. M. Bosworth a letter of deep appreciation, in which, after referring to many in- dividual courtesies along the route, he remarks: "Yore have Exact reason to be proud of your o1..nliratlon and service, and we take this method of thanking you heartily for your kind- ne8a and courtesy."

A few nights later he was dining in the house of a promin- ent parishioner, and was amazed to hear his hostess pleasantly remark: "Mr. X,, that new hood of yours doesn't suit you et all.

Dear Mr. Editor:— Thanks for your kindness in allowing me the privilege of appealing to your readers this Christmas time on.behaif of the I•Iospital for Sick Children, the "Sweetest of all Charities," which has as its mission the .care of the helpless,. the sick, the crippled and the deformed. There never was a year in the his- tory of the Hospital' when funds to carry on the work were more needed than now. You- purse is the Hospital's Hope. Your money lights the eandle0 of mercy •on the Christmas trees of health that the Hospital plants along the troubled roadway of many a little Ilio. So I am asking you for aid, for the open purse of the Hospital's friend is the hope of the Hospital at Christmas, just as the open door of the Hospital's mercy is the hope of the little children throughout the year. Calls on generous hearts are many in these times. Calle on the Hospital are many at all times, and especially when food and fuel and drugs and ser- vice coots are soaring high. YO IT know the high cost of living. Do you know the high cost of healing -0i helping the helpless to happiness? What you do to assist is the best in• vestment you will ever make. D0ou realize what this charity is Y Y doing for sick children, not only of Toronto, but for all Ontario, for out of a total of 3.740 in -patients last year 646 came from 254 places outside of Toronto, The field of the Hospital's service covers the entire Province— ; from the Ottawa to the far-off Kenora —from the borders of the Great Lakes to the farthest northerly district, The Hospital is doing a marvellous work, If you could see the children with crippled .limbs, club feet, and tier deformities, who have left the ::o4pilal with straightened limbs and erfect correction, your response to stn' appeal would be instant, In the Orthopedic Departments last year a , total of 330 in -patients were treated; and in the Out -Patient Department there were 1,046 attendances, Let your money and the I-Iospital's mercy lift the burden of misery that curses the lives, cripples the limbs and saddens the mothers of the suf- fering little children. Money mobilizes the powers of Help and healing for the Hospital's drive day and night against the trenches where disease end pain and death assail the lives of the little ones. Remember that every dollar given to the hospital is a dollar subscribed to the Liberty Loan that opens the prisons of pain and the Destines of disease, and eats little children free to breathe the pure air, and to rejoice 1n the mercy of God's snnlight. Will you send a dollar, or more it you can, to Douglas Davidson, S0cre• tory-Treasurer, or J. ROSS ROBERTSON. Chairman of the Board of Trustees. achinery For ' 1 WHEELOCK ENGINE, 182142.
