Attentionrss is dithee to a Military Service n9Bu Branch, Department nt ublished in the Press by Y of Justice, regarding extensions to be granted to men EXEMPTED AS FARMERS. It is pointed out that this DOES NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT MEN WHO HAVE BEEN ORDERED BY THE REGISTRAR TO .REPORT to Depot Battalions and who have thereafter received leave of absence from the Military Authorities. Once a man has been ordered to report for duty by the Registrar he leaves the jurisdiction of the Registrar and comes tinder that of the Department of Militia and Defence, and is to be considered as a soldier. This applies to men of the 20 to 22 Class who have been ordered to report by the Registrar in virtue of the cancellation of exemptions by Order -in -Council of the 20th April last, as well as to those ordered to report in the usual way on refusal of claim for exemption, or on expiration of exemption granted. A11 men, accordingly, who have been ordered to report, and are therefore SOLDIERS, and who have subsequently been granted harvest leave by the military authorities, MUST, NOTWITHSTANDING THE NOTICE ABOVE RE- FERRED TO, REPORT ON THE EXPIRATION OF THAT LEAVE, unless they are notified to the contrary by their Commanding Officer or by general notice published by the Department of Militia and Defence. DEPARTMENT OF MILITIA AND DEFENCE. The Epidemic It is well, surely, to pause in the mad rush for wealth of the present day and consider the epidemic' of influenza now sweeping over the world, In the rush after the almighty dollar, do we not be. come very materialistic in our views of life? Do we not, perhaps unconsciously imbibe the view that science and man conbined can do almost anything—that there is no limit—that there isno other force in the world but threw we our. selvea employ. Yet dining these days this disease has swept over the land taking away more lives than the war and we are practically helpless before its ravages, 11 reminds ne that there is a greater force in the world than ours—that, iu fact, that there is anoth. er world with forums end energiest and powers that we know nothing of in this, If we would get the beat out of this life we will recognize theee facto and learn that man doth not live by bread alone, Many a one who has tended the sick and. dying during these sad days -has reaiized this and been up. lifted by that recognition, Fuel Situation NOVEMBER 7 103 BEST CUSTOMER IS GREAT, BRITAIN HER PURCHASE OF OUR F001) EY - FORTS FINANCED THROUGH VICTORY ,LOAN Millions of dollars have been used by the Dominion Government since the war begau to finance Oauad0's exporte of agricultural and animal prodnets, There has been a tremendous expans- ion of Overseas trade, Great Britain has been able to take care of all the wheat, bacon, cheese add other food products that we can spare, but has not always been in a position to pay oaeh for it. The Dominion Govern• mint has given the Old Land the neo. misery credit, The money has been advanced out of the Loans that have raised for the purposes of the war, and the laige oversubscriptions of last year's Loan was responsible for the marketing of much of our product that would otherwise have remained on our hands. Owing to'the' epidemic of Influenza tate feel'sstuation is becoming more and 'more critical, Last winter was one of perplexity and in many, cases of. real 'suffering for the want of coal, Many people, in order to conserve closed up most of their houses and re- stricted themselves to a few neoeaary rooms This year, if we have es severe a winter as Not the situation will be worse, unless every one, at once, begins to Pave as much coal as possible. Two reasons make this necessary at, the present time. First the epidemic has forged many to have mora heat in their houses that is usually required at this season of the year. Secondly the epidemic has reduced the out put of the mines as the working forces there have reduced by the disease and there are grave tears that Canada will not be able to seenre her allotment of anthra- cite coal, 4,000;000 tone, 11 is strongly urged that a supply of soft coal or wood be secured wherever possible . Tlie Churches are urged to oombine their services, if not, then one church should be heated and the: demoninat ions allowed to use it at different hours on Sunday, Surely in this critical time, some workable plan could be drawn out that would oonssrve fuel to allow all the 'mammary warmth during the winter.• Anthracite coal is to be taken from all public buildings and supplied to the Iresidences, This will apply to all Dominion and Provincial buildings also The coencil in Seaforth at the de- mand of the Provincial Admiuetration has appointed a Fuel Commiseiouer for the town. Mayor Stewart has been appointed anti Miss Ruth Sproat will a:t a6 assistant, She will have an office in the Carnegie Library and all applications for coal must be made to Vie Commissioner who will give oarile to the dealers allowing them to supply A. schedule of the coal suppled to each home guile Apri1•will be drawn tip and if any one has more than his share it will be taken for those with• out, only limited protection, eine° it safely buries all fungus material which spring ploughing will bring to the surface of the soil once more after attecesaful hiborna'siou, Prevention, as usual, ie decidedly bettor than sure, and sani- tary m0aaarae ere jirot as important 1n field, garden or orchard as in etbles and dwellinge, As soon as poeettble after the harvest of allot crop—or bet. ter, after the growing season is over -- a general oloan-up is moot essential, Where possible, ell refuse should be collected; diseased or rotten fruits, leaves, stalks haulms etc, should be gathered and the whole destroyed by fire. Material that will not burn reac'• ily, euoh as is common on the fields after harvesting—roots, potatoes etc.— should be buried in a pit, In orchards where such measures are followed 13y the usual dormant opreye, the reaults will be most beneficial, and field and garden crops will. also greatly benefit, That is the statement of the Finance Minister, Sir Thomas White. He says the 1917 Victory Loan was the salvat- ion of Canadian industry. It will be the same this year.. But .take a few figures to clinch tha argument. Last year the Government' advanced nearly $1000,000,00 to Great•Britain to en: able her to purchase our exports of animal products. Then immenso sums went to pay, for the cheese and the wheat and the other food commodities that Great Britain must have. This year we will have $226,o00,000 worth of wheat for export; $4e,000,000 worth of cheese and $ro,ouo,000 of butter, eggs and condensed milk. Victory money will be used to get these exports to the consumers in Great Britain. The bacon export will be taken Dare of in the same way. These are only aim. ple industries. They are all the same and are handled on a war basis. Oanada'a total exports of agricultural and animal products last year amount ed to $74o,000,000. In 1916 they were $209,000,oeo, The same with manu- factures. The increase in the same period was from $85,000,000 to $636,- 000,or o—all because of the Loan issues, The Imperial Munitions Board has awarded to manufacturers contracts for $1,2oo,00o,000, to finance which the Government and benke advanced $600,• 000,000. All business for Canada. The wealth was diotributed land every- body got a share. Can Canadians afford to ignore the lessons which these facts teao}i? This appears to be the situation at the present time, If all will save coal, and use substitutes, there will be little real hardship brit if this be note done, suffering is euro to be the penalty. Not .only is this needful but it -is pat- riotio. Late lighting of fire, in fur- naces, the use of gratee in mild weath- er and a reasonable restraint by those who have coal i, one of the ways all tau help in winning the war, because after all it is a war situation.

One of the most no. torious of these diseases is plover and' alfalfa wilt (Solorotiuia) which has giv• en rise to the belief that land may be. conte clover siclr, This disease had just begun to show up on the Contin- ent of America, and unless prompt pre- eaiitionery rneasnres are taken there is a possibility of the dieees° oaneiug sire ilar losses here to what it dogs iu Europe. A disease similar in nether attacks beans, and there are other instances which call for a word of general advice on mutters of prevention.
