It also neais speedy reinforcements fur .our soldiers, The Laurier Party says the "131g Interests" want the return of the 'Union Goverannent, It is true, The big interests and the 1lttle'intei'osts, in fleet every interest in Canada, •putsido of Quebec, will breathe a lit - tie easier when the Union •Govern- mcnt is returned. Cast your vote for Morner and the 'Union Govern ,•meet on Monday. * * * Under the caption "t1 Question of • 'Leadership," the newspapers still supporting Sir Wilfrid Laurier ' pub- lish a machine -made, election-litera- •tore article, abusing Sir Robert Bor- den, making sweeping general charges ,of corruption aiid mismanagement :against the: -late government. The tirade of pointless abuse concludes •with these words : "Under which leader ? Let the people cjioose," This is the question whiet eon- .eiennts the people of Canada today., the question of which leader they will choose to guide the ship of state during the next four or five years. It makes, a good deal of diderenee 'where a men is lieading for when sone is choosing him as a leader. In this case there is Sir Robert Borden, with his following of Con- servatives and Liberals who have ,agreed to lay aside for the time all party disagreements and work to- gether for the common good. Sir 'Robert is headed the way of hon- our, the way of victory, the way wf sending speedy and steady aid of 'every. sort to the Canadians who have stood oft the enemy for the -rest a •us, beileving that:their corn- -try. was 'back of them. He leads the way of •self-sacrifice, it is true, •and he calls upon those who are 'strongehearted, those who love' hon- our more than ease, triose who wish to see Canada live up to the ideals - created 'ler her by the splendid valor sof the brave boys who are holding Canada's banner high on the bloody 'fields .of France or Flanders, or who ;already sleep beneath the sods'. The men and the women who would share -in some degree the sacrifice of our :soldier heroes will follow; hint. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is the other deader. He is headed the way of •ease. He has a following of French- "' Canadians, wlio, for whatever peas- :^--- can and for whatever cause, there is aro time now to remedy, are not in spirit with' the English-speaking. Can- adians in the present struggle for the freedom of the world. With him also are, (this is so evident that argu- ment to the contrary is useless) ev- ery pro -German and anti-British sen- timent in the countrp. This leader says in' effect : "The war must be neon. Everybody should help, but those .of you who do not wish to help need not worry. I'll see that you are not put to. any, inconven- ience nconvenience in the matter. Just' trust me." Surely this Is leading in the way of dishonour, i in ,,the way • of cheating the men who have already "left all" of the reinforcements which they have every reason to ex- t :pent Canada will send them. Which way is Canada going, the way of honour or the way of selfish ease ? "Under which leader ?" The people must choose, Seaforth 'r' Miss Tovell of Guelph has been the 'guest of Major and Mrs. R,.S.

Persons that sleep in small, 'ill -ventilated rooms complain of lit- tle or no aPPetite. in the horning and ot disagreeable dryness 01 the mouth and throat. Why ? Because, as a result of breathing air that is int- puee, their blood is impure and fails to give their digestive organs the stimulus they must have for perfect ywork. It is necessary that we should, have pure blood it we want to get all the good out of what we eat that there is in it and to get it comfort- ably, Flood's Sarsaparilla is,distin- quished for making pure, rich, vital- ized blood, perfecting, the digestion and building up the whole system.

Final Appeal Judge Gives • Ruling on Exemption of Farmers Mr. Justice Duff Jthe Final Court of Appeal) De- clares it is Essential that there shall be No Diminution in Agricultural Production. (Published by authority of Director of Public Information, Ottawa.) Hon. Mr. Justice Duff gave judgment on December 8th, in the first test case brought before him, as Central Appeal Judge (the final court of appeal), for the exemp- tion of a farmer. The appeal was made by W. H. Rown- tree in respect of his son, W. J. Rowntree, from the decision of Local Tribunal; Ontario,No. 421, which refused a claim for exemption. The son was stated to be an experienced farm hand, who had been working on the farm continuously for the past seven years, and ever since leaving school. He lives and works with his father, who owns a farm of 150 acres near Weston, Ontario. With the exception of a younger brother, he is the only male help of the father on the farm. The father is a man of advanced years. In granting the man exemption "until he ceases to be employed in ,agricultural labor," Mr. Justice Duff said: "The Military Service Act does not deal with the subject of the exemption of persons engaged in the agri- cultural industry; and the question which it is myduty to decide is whether the applicant being and having been, as above mentioned, habitually and effectively en- gaged in agriculture and in labor essential to the carry- ing on of agricultural production, ought to be exempted under the provisions of .the Military Service Act: "These two propositions are indisputable : u . (1 In. order that the militarypower p war of the allies may be adequately sustained, it is essential that in this . country and under the present . conditions, there should be no diminution in agricultural production. "(2) The supply of competent labor available for the purpose of agricultural production is not abundant, but actually is deficient. "The proper conclusion appears to be that the ap- plicant, a competent person, who had been habitually and effectively engaged in labor essential to such pro- duction, ought not to be withdrawn from it. "It is perhaps unnecessary to say that"such exemp- tions are not granted as concessions on account of per- sonal hardship, still less as a favor to a class. The sole ground of them is that the national interest is the better served by keeping these men at home. The supreme p necessity (upon the existence of which, as its preamble shows, this policy of the Military Service Act is found- ed) that leads the State to take omen by compulsion and put them in the fighting line requires that men shall be kept at home who are engaged in work essential to en- able the State to maintain the full efficiency of the corn- batatit forces, and whose plates cannot be taken by others not within the class called out." , w.• (ffhtui, DeA 5r .1917, Auburn As NIr.
