Site is survived by her hus- band and a family of three daughters and one son, Sacrifice of Personal Preference Inion Government undoubtedly, calls for some slight sacrifices of personal preference by those Unionist support- ers who will be called. to vote for accepted Unionist candidates whom they have been accustomed to look upon as political opponents. Is this slight sacrifice of personal inclina- tion deserving even of mention in comparison with the sacrifices and the service which the young manhood. of Canada has been called upon from every recruiting platform to make, or that -which we are now compelling out young manhood to make under "Tho Military Service Act ?" It is idle to say that "Nothing matters but the war" and immediat- ely to act; as if our old political pre- ference Hurst be preserved at all costs. It is not as if either. Liberal or Conservative were called upon to make the sligbtest • sacrifice of principle. Matters tiros which the parties differed in prin- ciple will and must stand aver until after the war. The Union Gov- ernment can "carry on" only with a strong public • support. Belief in its success is vital. Doubts about Its stttcoss, if widely or loudly uttered, would foredoom it to failure. This would be a national catastrophe joy- fully .welcomed by our enemies. The expression of personal preference has made Russia powerless. 7'liis •coun- trp has called upon our uolitical• leaders to "get together'." They have got together, ' The rank and file must follow suit. A New Privilege Finance Minister Announces that All Victory Bonds may be Registered. The following announcement has been made from Ottawa :—The Fin- ance Minister of Canada has issued a new instruction in connection with the Victory Bonds, which will be of much benefit and importance to ninny squall investors. He has decided to grant the privilege of the registra- tion of all bonds, that is to say, that bonds of all denominations, in- cluding the $50 band, may be regis- tered as to principal• and interest. In previous loans the privilege of registration was necessarily confined to bonds of the larger denomination, such as $1,000 bonds or more, Bonds of lower denominations were issued as bearer bonds, with coupons at- tached, and while carrying equal benefits as to principal a n ci interest were liable to being lost by the owners. 'Under the privilege now given by tine Finance Minister, the buyer of any bond (whatever the denomination), may have it register- ed, in which case the interest will be padil by cheque, and the bond, itil'ost, may be replaced after proper evidence has been shown. It is believed that this privilege will be greatly appreciated by many thousands of small investors, who will thus be assured of the absolute safety et their investment evert against lire or carelessness or any. other noeidental cause of loss. This imitrovement in the issue will in- volve extra: work nem' the Depart- meet of Finance, but Sir Thomas White, considers that its benefits will more than offset ihe•labor involved, Distribution of See:sl Grain and potatoes ;3y instruetions of the IIo11, 1171n- istar of Agriculture a free .distribu- tion of superior sorts of grain and potatoes will be made during the cototng winter and spring to Cana- dia11 fanners..

SAVED FROM AN UNTIMELY GRAVE Seldom has a more tragic tale been told than that of this young woman, whose parents, brothers and sisters have all died of consumption, leaving her alone to make a living' as best she could. Never robust, hard work and worry soon undermined her health, when she too, become a victim of this dreaded disease, ShUhned by friends who feared contagion, -'without funds, for she had been unable to save from her small earnings, she seemed doomed, like the others of her family, to an untimely grave. Fortunately, she was discovered and sent to the Muskoka Free Hospital, before it was too late, where she is now doing well, with every chance of ultimate recovery. Appeals are now being made for the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consump- tives to enable it to continue the great work of caring for just such cases se this.
