Returned soldiers' bureas are to be formed .in all districts of Alberta. It is predicted that Winnipeg will have little or no employment this winter. Over 1G0 men from Knox Presby- terian Church, Regina, have joined the forces, Saskatchewan has already shipped 130,000,000 bushels . of this year's wheat chop. There is a boon in homesteading at. Padclockwood, just north of Prince Albert, Sask.. Alberta Government has offered to train soldiers who can qualify for school teachers. . The convention of Manitoba niuni- cipalities heartily endorsed pensions for widowed mothers. Assiniboia ratepayers will be ask- ed at the coming elections to double the salaries of their reeve and coun- cillors. Miss Winnifred Wilton of Winni- peg, and Miss Melrose Sissons of Portage, are now fully fledged at- torneys for Manitoba. Winnipeg's Local Council of Wo- men has voted,.the proposed gift of a wallet and stationery for each Can- adian soldier in the trenches. Contracts totalling $200,000 have been let for the erection of a sugar factory in Chatham on the River road west of Lethbridge limits. W. C. McKay, of Prince Albert has made an offer to the Militia Depart- ment at Ottawa to raise a half bat- talion of Indians for active service at the front. John Trroseditze, 801 Loretto_ ave- nue, Fort Rouge, had his right leg severed from his body in Winnipeg Union Station when knocked down by a box car. Seven wild wood pigeons were seen lately in the .Colleston district, near Prince Albert, Sask. The birds have been.practically extinct for a number of years.

Almost a million dollars a year will be saved to Regina citizens by the present system of Saskatchewan Gov- ernment liquor stores - since the new temperance law went into effect last July, says Geo. T. Robinson, manager of a Government liquor store in Win- nipeg. ENSURE SAFETY OF U.S. Must be. One Consideration in Ending European War. The London Spectator says that just as Germany in 1871 would con- clude peace only with a French na- tional assembly, especially appoint- ed for the purpose, to bind the whole nation, so must the allies not only snake peace with the Kaiser and -Jun-. ker Cast who made war, but with the German people, The terms of peace must provide security for the whole world. If the German fleet were left intact the Germans, finding . Europe too hard a nut to 'crack, would turn their eyes on America. "They could say of the South Am- erican continent," continues the Spec- tator, "as Marshal Blucher said of London: `What a continent to plun- der.' Next they would methodically work out plans for the conquest and control of South America, a prelimin ah•y, if the United States objected, being of course the destruction of the American fleet, and .the holding of ,the great coastal cities to ransom. "The moment the harrying' of Am- erica actually begair,'the feeling for our atm flesh and blood -far, far stronger in parent than in child would fiance tip there and make us stand forth as. the sprotngonists of the Monroe • Doctrine. Whatever some of our people might say owing to tem' notary annoyance with America for the somewhat sorry -part played by her Government during the war, we should never stand for seeing New York and Boston bombarded by.. the German fleet or the Panama canal seized and fortified :by Germany."

We heard a debate recently on the relative merits of music and oratory, and after hear-. isles* arguments advanced by debaters on both sides, we, came away rnoee strongly convinced than ever that both subjects should be given greater Prominence ,in Canadian schools. The following essay on Music in the Home, is worthy of careful perusal' and serious consideration by all par- ents, teachers and school authorities: It has been said that in no country on earth, not excepting music -loving Germany, are there found so many. pianos and organs in homes as in this country. All agree that this is as.it' should be. Music is invaluable as a means of recreation.

When we think how much the world needs awakening, we can think of no power better calcu- lated'to do it than that which dwells in the mysterious melodies of music. Music appeals largely to the emo- tional temperament, and it is proba- bly, for this reason that it has been given such prominence in the service of the church, even from the days of the temple, when the Psalms and prayers of the people were chanted. One result of this is the constant use of music in divine worship. "Worship without praise would be an impossi- bility." The best efforts of our'great masters have been brought to bear evil as well as to good, and that' in>aepon the sacred form of music.

LACK OF MONEY Was a Godsend in This (base. It is not always that a lack of money is a benefit. This lady owes her health to the fact that she could not pay in ad- vance the fee demanded by a specialist to treat her for stomach trouble. In telling of her case she says: "I had been treated by four differ- ent physicians during 10 years of stomach trouble. Lately I called ori another who told me he could not cure me; that I had neuralgia of the stomach. Then I went to a specialist who told me I had catarrh of the stomach and said lie could cure me in four months but would have to have his money down. I could not raise the necessary stmt and in my extremity I was led to quit coffee and try Postum. "The results have been magical. I now sleep well at night, something I had not done for a long tine;. the pain in my stomach is gone and I am a different woman. "Every time I had tried to stop cof- fee I suffered from severe headaches; so I continued to drink it although I had reason to believe it was injurious to me." (Tea, also, is harmful, because it contains caffeine, the same poison- ous drug found in coffee.) "But when I had Postum to shift to it was dif- ferclt.

One morning the sweet, voice of a woman was heard singing 'a ballad in one of the tenement housetdistricts of a city. The effect was almost magical. Not only did children swarm out of their dingy homes and surround the singer, but adults leaned out of windows for several blocks on either side, and when the music ceased, the listeners turned again to their work refreshed in spirits. Someone has said, "Sing to the wicked man, sing to the discon- solate, sing to the old, sing to the chile' dren; for music will inspire them all." Truly, there is power in music—an aI- most unlimited power. Who does not know the softening power of music? Many are the incidents that could be given as to the power oftmusic.
