-The Temperance and Liquor
forces of Ontario are getting in
readinesss for the great struggle
which will come to an end on De-
cember 5th. The prohibitionists.
have now over two-thirds of the
province organized, while the
Liquor men have raised $32,000 to
prevent the Ross Liquor Bill from
going into effect. What the out-
come of the struggle will be no one
can predict, bat both sides are san-
guine as to the result.

-That a people superior in in-
telligence, aro inhabitants of the
planet Mars is a conclusion that
will be set forth by Pro. G.' W.
Hough, head of the Department
of Astronomy of Northwestern
University, in a report which he is
compiling of his summer's obser-
vations from the Dearborne Obser-
vatory. He makes his assertion of
a probabilty based on recent dicov-
eries, and adds that, of course, it
can never be established positively.
--"Events," . in' answering the
question,. "When is man old,"
says -Coming to Canada, Sir Wil-
frid Laurier has just passed the 60
mark, Sir Mackenzie Rowell is 79,

ard Cartwright 66, Mr. Fielding 58,

-The Toronto Weekly Sun
says :-The taxes on the Ontario
half of the St. Clair tunnel are only
about one -ninth as much as the
taxes on the Michigan half. This
case is bad enough, but the bridge
of Ottawa and New York Railway,
which crosses the St. Lawrence at
the town of Cornwall, furnishes an
even more striking illustration of
the present unequal state of our
assessment laws. That portion of
the bridge which lies in the
State of New York is assessed for
for $40,000, and taxes are paid on
this sum, while that portion of the
bridge which lies in. Ontario is un-
taxed, the assessor taking the
ground that under our laws he has
no authority to assess it. While
the case of this bridge illustrates
our backwardness in the matter of
assessments, it also brings into
very sharp contrast our policy and
that of our neighbors in the matter
of subsidies. To the Canadian
half of the bridge the Dominion
Government gave a cash subsidy of
$90,000, on the top of which the
Ontario Legislature added 35,000
more, making a total donation
$125,000. To the American half
of the bridge no donation of any
kind was made. In addition to
the bridge subsidy we gave in do-
nations to the railroad $300,000
cash, while the railroad on the
American side received nothing. In
Ontario the fare over the road is
three cents per mile. In the
United States it is two cents per
mile.
A CANDID AMERICAN.
A writer, A. T. M., has written
an interesting article in. the Wash-
ington Sunday Times, from which
we make the, following extracts.
It shows that at last, Americans
are beginning to realize the re-
sources of Canada ; They have so
long spoken disparagingly of our
country, that it is refreshing to find
one American, that can grasp the
idea, that Canada really does
amount to something. The writer
says :-
There is no doubt whatever as
to the appalling ignorance of our
people generally regarding the ex-
tent and resources of the great Do-
minion to the north of us. We
are so apt, in our own self -compla-
cency, to forget that Canada is
not fairly entitled to the libelous
statements of the extremists who
speak of "the frozen north," and
we are too prone to believe that
Rudyard Kipling knew what he
was talking about when he alluded
to the colonial empire's mistress as
"Our Lady of the Snows."
But let us not forget that to
the great northwest of that marvel-
ous country thousands upon thous-
ands of our people are "trekking,"
as Cy Warman calls this migration
to the Canadian farm lands.
Let us not forget, too, that Can-
ada's waterways• are superior to
ours, that Canadian men are
crowding the lakes with Canadian
made boats, and that in the new
Ontario there is now in progress a
development such as no section of
this country has over seen.
And so when we speak of Can-
ada let us remember that the tide
has set in from here to there, and
our daughters are peopling her west
-for 60,000 went from Nebraska,
Minnesota, and the Dakotas this
year.
And let us remember, too, that
Canada's greatest Mines are her
undiscovered mines, that her,
greatest tracts of arable land are
still virgin, that her timber re-
serves are protected, and of such
vast area that figures are appalling
-in that they surprise and make
us wonder at our own ignorance.
Do not let us forget, too, that in
our neighbor's land crimes meet
their just punishment and divorces
a{„p practically unknown.
Only a few weeks ago a cabinet
minister was blamed for spending
$40,000 in a search for murderers
of two Americans in the Yukon.
His answer was : "This govern -
will spend $40,000, and $40,000, if
necessary, in enforcing the laws of
this land. Americans are entitled
to the protection of, our laws if
they obey our laws."
In the Dominion of Canada is lo-
cated three-fourths of the produc-
tive soil of North America, It is
as yet only scratched. This year's
crops aggregating 50,000,000 bush-
els are being harvested.
Canada may not have 65,000,000
or 70,000,000, but the 5,500,000
within her borders are proud of
their country, of its government,
and of its prospects, and have
every reason for being so.
Our trade with Canada is our
most profitable trade, and this in
spite of tariff laws dictated too
often by jealousies..
In these trust -ridden days it be-
hooves us to cast our eyes abroad
for markets -but, above all, it is
our bounden duty to study our
neighbors' actual condition, so
that we may not only know that
New Brunswick is not "adjoining"
British Columbia, but know, too,
that Canada is a lusty country
filled with indomitable sons, loyal
to their King, and eager for a bat-
tle royal in the industrial markets
of the world.
WORLD'S BREAD SUPPLY.
The Hungarian minister of Agri-
culture estimates the World's
wheat crop this year at two billion
nine hundred million bushels, the
oat crop at three billion bushels,
the corn crop at two billion nine
hundred and seventy million bush-
els, and the rye crop at one billion
five hundred and seventy-five mil-
lion bushels.
Beerbohm puts the world's
wheat crop of this year at 2,861,-
200,000 bushels, or sixty millions
more than last year. This accord-
ing to Beerbohm, is the largest crop
since 1898, when the yield was
placed at 2,962,400,000.
The New York Journal of Com-
merce estimates that the United
States will this year have one hun-
dred and eighty million bushels of
wheat for export, Canada thirty-
two million, Russia one hundred
and four million, Balkan Peninsu-
la fifty-two million, North Africa,
etc., twenty-four million.
The corn trade News estimates
that the total surplus of'wheat and
flour in the exporting countries for
the year ending July 31 next will
be 448,000,000 bushels, while the
requirements of importing coun-
tries will be 449,600,000 bushels.
If this last estimate is justified by
the facts, it will be seen that the
requirements of importing coun-
tries is very considerably in excess
of the surplus available from ex-
porting countries.

Completely Fagged out.
The world is full of sickly, despon-
dent, tired, enervated people, all hop-
ing to be well some day. The surest
road to health is along the way of tak-
ing Ferrozone after meals. Ferrozone
is a great appetizer and enables one
to eat plenty of wholesome food with-
out any fear of indigestion or dyspep-
sia. This results in the rapid forma-
tion of an abundance of red, vitalizing
blood, which will restore the nerves,
increase flesh and vigor, and nourish
and feed every organ of the body.
Ferrozone 'is an ideal restorative and
invigorant. It is a tonic of unequalled
merit that anyone can use with benefit.
