Me Union Goveremen of Mires a pledge that from now o this is to bo all the eeople'u war—not excluding Quebec at that.' To the 'United Sates of America it said 'This is our answer to the crav- en cry 'Let Uncle Sam do his bit. Uncle Sam will do his bit—and Can- ada will do hers. We fight shoulder to ellellIder right throught to the fin- Isb. ellood is thicker thau water. North ,Americe, is willing to Rake iter lite on that. Our two pairs of hands are across the sea.' To our brave soldiers at the front it said 'Here is the finest Christmas present we can give you. You will observe that the old Ville; at home are of the same mind as the boys in the trenches. Our votes, our money our prayers, our best intelligence our supremest moral force are with you. We will see you through the war and make you comfortable afterwards. Stick to it. Canada is no quitter.' To the party manipulator, to the huachine politician, to the dark -lan- tern brigade all over Canada it mid 'This Shows you what the people think of political parties as they have been conducted in the past. Let this be a warning to you to purge partY of its deceit, to implementpromises with deeds, to make platforms to stand on, not to get in on, to think of office as a chance to do good, wines att opportunity to loot —in short to turn over a new leaf and make party a real rivalry in good worke, If you do not heed this warning Union Gov- ernment may become a habit.' To the past with its scandals and mistakes it said 'We forgive but it -will take us some time to forget. The present must atone for many guilty stains. It is up to Union Government to make good—evith the accent on the good.' To the women of Canada it said 'You leave risen to the occasion and have so notably shown that your judg meat is as sound as your hearts that _ we must take you all in, By your splendid endeavors in this election you have won the right you have so long craved—the right to take a full share in the affairs of your country. You bring to the jury of the nation that just proportion of sentiment which gives warmth to reason.' To the profiteer it said 'Look out. You have seen 'your best days. You must cease to squeeze molten out 'of the world's agony. If you do not moderate your greed we must moder- ate it for you. The man who takes one profit in time of peace and three profits in times of war must be proper ed to give up the two extra profits to - the state if he persist in tho error of • his ways.' To Quebec it said 'We do this more in sorrow than in auger. We believe you have been misguided by your leaders of both parties fifty years back. This is your chance to for- swear your reactionaries, your ultra- montanes, your bigots of race and creed, your Bourassas and Lavergnes , and come out into the light. Confed- eration waits to welcome you back. December 17th was the referendum you asked. It has gone against you. Swing in now and do your ,part cheer- fully with the sister provinces. Thls war is not for England or France. It is for freedom, humanity, rospon- sble government, the faith of treaties and the peace of mankind—all ob- jects in which Quebec is as much in- terested as anybody else. So long as you persist in a separate opinion in a matter of universal consent so long will this sad cleavage endure. Henceforward let there be an actual bonne entente of sympathy and effort between Quebec and the rest of Can- ada. it there is not it will bo your own fault. To Sir. Wilfrid Laurier the elec- tion said 'This country reveres your gray hairs admires your distiuguish- ed career, admits the charm of your pretence and the spell of your elo- quence—as your bumper meetings abundantly prove—but regrets your wrongheadedness on the subject of conscription, as our votes go to show.

'They read most of the time, these people. Readlirg is one of the necessities of the journey. The holiday makers, however, and Southend-on-Sea as a holiday resort, are what most people will be chiefly interested in. It was really Queen Caroline who "made the place," In 1804 she paid a visit there, and Lon- doners began to recognize the fact that Southend was really their near- est seaside resort, and began to re- sort there accordingly. A hundred years ago, however, Southend could have had no idea, not even in its most prophetic moods, of the glory which awaited it: of its pier, mare than a. mile long; of its huge hotel, a landmark up and down the river; or of the countless attractions which go to make up, in its fulness, the great holiday resort, which, more than once since the outbreak of the war, has been bombarded by the Germans fro,m,Battetheinaginmasgaoo'd`f?"ettihheb edgpultadcee. guidebook might put it, "but the tide recedes with great rapidity for nearly a mile," and it is this vast wilderness of wet shore which often stands out in the memory of the casual visitor to Southend; the visitor, that is, may not have much beart for its other at- tractions. Some people have no grateful remembrance of these stretches, and yet they have a beauty all their own. The little pools .of water amidst the wet, sand, stretching on for many mlies to- wards Benet, have a way of catch - Ing the sunlight, In summer and winter, towards evening, and throw- ing it back again in red or gold. The coast of Kent, five miles away to the south, is just a hazy outline, across the river, and the intermittent stream of ahipping makes its way far out in the great estuary, westward toward Tilbury and the Port of Lon- don, or eastward, out to sea and to the ends of the earth. That, of course, is cue of tbe ways of reach- ing Southend, or it was in the days before the war—by sea, It was a holiday way. The man in a hurry, the business man, the season -ticket holaer, the man who is always read- ing, never goes that way. But crowds of other people do, and many boats, in the course of a day, will come in from London ieaddee up from it, past the Chem* kight, making east for the Tower fledge. Southend-on-Sea is surely a holiday resort, all German official statements notwithstanding, ably empervieus male in writing tbout the lady to label himself, in- .leed, as a gallant by the unrequlred erotest that he spoke as a critic, and sot as a gallant in declaring Gena Branseombe Tenney "an artist Imong a thousand," also "an orna- lent to her sex and the glory of her ro.ud Canadian homeland."

"Katherine Hale," the writer, also mete aline, has written very inter- estingly of Gena Brauscombe as fel- lows: "I came upon her work by way of a quest for sources of Canadian songs, and after weeks of study in the French-Canadian lore was find- ing the present field a good deal less interesting than the past. Some one announced that Gena Branscombe was to give a recital in Toronto and, armed in ignorance, I went to hear her, The programme was composed entirely of her work, interpreted by a quartette of singers with the com- poser at the piano.

One interesting point is the • treatment of unclean wounds by ionization, produced either by the application of salt solutions tra- versed by an electric curren or by means et ultra -violet rays. As is well known, electric currents are now much used In treating certain varieties of rheumatism. Of considerable importance is the application of mile electric "shoo" to stimulate the voluntary move- ments; the treatment is specially ef- ficacious in those cases of nerve shock where the patient is under the delusion that h4 has lost the power of his limbs. However, the application of elec- tric methods to cases of "shell - shock" calls for discretion. In some such eases the patient is not at all benefited and, indeed, exhibits "elec- trophobia."
