—The following from the Fartner's
Advocate is timely :—"At present
We are hearing much about military
drill in schools, as a defence against a
possible invasion of our country, A.
greater enemy lurks our highways
and in our gloomy barns than will
ever invade our shores, We talk of
the yellow peril, but a greater evil lies
in the white plague, which iu Toronto
kills in one year, three hundred and,
thirty-eight people. The statistics are
equally alarming throughout the Do-
minion and the United States. Tub-
erculosis, or consumption, is the na-
tural disease of Noah America. It is
estimated that six thonsand people in
Pennsylvania and. foisr thousand in
Alassachusetts die every year, victlins
of this terrible disease, Dr. Biggs es-
timatecl that tuberculosis annually
costs the city of Now York twenty-
three million dollars, while the total
loss to the United States, as a whole,
is three hundred and thirty million
dollars during the same period. We
are woefully ignorant about or ene-
my at home. Would it not be wise to
teach our school children how to com-
bat this deadly foe, instead of training
them to fight an imaginary one ?"
—Dnring the coming summer, the
three hundredth anniversary of the
founding of Canada by Champlain will
be celebrated in fitting manner at old
Quebec city. The battle of the Plains
of Abralainn one hundred and fifty
years afterward ended the regime of
French rule and domination in Canada
and is,an important link in Canadian
history. The battlefields passed into
the hands of a Roman Catholic order
who were about disposing- them for
commercial or manufacturing purposes
and thus a spot of great historic inter-
est would be lost. A request to the
government, backed by all races in
Canada, to buy these grounds and pre-
serve them to the public as a memori-
al has_ been successful, the government
:rranting $300,000 towards this end.
Public and private subscriptions are
sought by the Quebec Battlefields As-
soeiation, who are prosecuting the
agitation. His majesty, the King,
looks with favor on the celebration,
and will be represented by the Prince
of Wales who comes accompa,nied, by
the North Atlantic Squadron of the
Navy.
* *
—Every person, who has an atom of
fellow -citizenship in his nature, will be
pleased to hear that the Ontario Gov-
ernment has decided to commence a
campaign against tuberculosis. The
danger of conainunication of this dis-
ease is now well known, and every
effort should be made to stamp it out,
if possible. Here is an instance of its
danger', recently given of one family.
Ten years ago the husband con-
tracted consumption and died in
just over a year; then a son died in
the same. way. Notwithstanding
crude precautions, abont five years
•ago a daughter developed symptoms
and followed her father and brother.
One after another of the family was
laid low until the household of nine
was reduced to three, Recently the
remaining son and daughter developed
symptoms, and are now unable to as-
sist their mother. With the present
advanced condition of knowledge of
diseases and their prevention, it is
an acknowledged fact, that the rava-
ges of this terribly fatal disease can be
materially checked, if not entirely con-
trolled.
*.*
—One would think that money
would be saved in prosperous times
when there is plenty of it about. But
no, that is not the time when it is
saved. It is then that it is spent.
Everybody spends it—governments,
corporations, railroads, capitalists,
housekeepers, house -builders, collec-
tors. People expand their wants in
such times, and satisfy some of thein,
But after all the money has been spent
a few times over and has begun to be
scarce, and borrowing has come to be
a serious matter, and folks have Much
less to spend and no expectations,
then everybody groans and begins to
save, not only trying desperately to
squeeze back inside of the bounds of
income but to pay back what was
spent in expectation of a time when
saving wouldhave become convenient.
To most of us that time never comes.
And yet there are things for which
we spend more than we can afford
that really do justify our expenditures,
so that after the money has been
spent and we are pinched for the lack
of it, we would still rather have what
it bought than have the money bads.

—Speaking at the recent National
Live Stock Convention in Ottawa, Mr.
D. Anderson estimated that there were
4,000000 people in Canada directly
hi-
terested 111 agriculture, and 2,500,000
living in towns and cities. In the tens
tral and western portion of Ontario,
the most of this urban population
lived, arid that part of Canada is, and
will continue to be, the manufacturing
centre of Canada. Ilere is being de-
veloped a splendid home market, and
the exports from this section would
likely decrease, instead of inctertae, in
the future, as this home market in-
creased. The tendency would be for
more iatenanse farming, and a better
quality of prodnet. The total area of
tillable land in Ontat10 Was 14,000,OOG
aeree, of Which only 10,000,000 acres
are in crop, Of the 11,800,000 had of
beef cattle reported annnally, 7,000,000
head were front Central and Western
Ontario, atul the balance holt West of
* *
'twee all the year mud than any
Aber tralnstry in Canada.
What happened when the Liberal
government of Ontario restricted the
export of saw logs? Sawmills started
numning la all directions and faes:
tortes follewed.
Mr, Lewis asked. the government to
Appoint a committee of investigation
which would report at another session.
It ise.tinite clear, however, that no
export duty will be placed upon pulp-
wood or pulp without a battle. That
the opposition comes from his home
province of Qtfebee, snakes Premier
Laurier's position a particular difficult
one, It will test his claim for states-
manship honors.
With the voice of the people almost
a unit in favor of a policy in respect
of pnipwood that will illustrate the
doctrine of Canada for the Canadian
people, it is not ditflcult to see in
which direction the statesman should
turn. Will it be as politicians or as
statesmen that the government will
deal with this important question?
—Very few will charge the Toronto
News with bitter partisanship, yet
this is what it has to say of the recent
exposure in Hon. Mr. Brodeur's de-
partment :
"Already enongh has been proved.
to show that the affairs of this coun-
try are carried on in an appallingly
loose manner. Mr. Brodeur engaged
a staff of experts to change the system
of book-keeping in his department
without even asking what they would
charge for the service, They charged
enough to change twenty systems.
What was the use of asking ? The
government had.plenty of money. Is
it any wonder that certain Liberals
are willing to obstruct the Opposition
in its search for evidence ? There is
something to conceal, in spite of the
blatant government press, Not one
of. the facts which have been elicited
in the public accounts committee
would have seen the light if Liberal
partisans had their way. They wished
to conceal these things—and no won-
der. The government would do well
to clear out its coterie of money -mak-
ing friends."
The lniiiittion Government has now
been in power fourteen years. In the
transaction of an enormous business
like that of the Dominion, it requires
very great watchfulness to prevent a
gang of political grafters and thieves
from getting their fingers into the
'treasury ; they will do it in these
times of intense desire to get rich
quick. That a number have become
wealthy either by the Government's
looseness or permission is apparently
too true. Timber limits purchased
for $500, and offered for sale soon
after at half a million dollars, is evi-
dence sufficient.
AN IMPORTANT MATTER.
Have You A Horse ?
11 yon want to keep him in shape,
never let him suffer pain, Rub on
Nerviline. It is noted for curing
strains, . swellings and stiffness and
sore muscles. For internal use in cur-
ing cramps and colic, Nerviline is a
perfect marvel. In every good train-
ing stable you'll find Nerviline because
it keeps horses in trim and reduces the
veterinary bill. Partners, stockmen
and all horse owners should buy Ner-
viline and prove how invaluable it is.
Good for man or beast. Twenty-five
cents per bottle at all dealers.
E. N. Lewis, M. P. for 'West Huron,
introduced an important matter to
the notice of the Dominion Govern-
ment, on Wednesday last, by moving:
"That in the opinion of this house
'such duty should be placed, on the
export of pulp wood as will be suffi-
cient to induce its manufacture into
paper in Canada, and 'thus save to the
labor of Canada $6,000,000 now lost.
Mr. Lewis began by quoting an ex-
pression by President Roosevelt that
"No other question of equal gravity
is now before the nation." There was
no desire in Canada that the people of
the United States should be without
their daily paper, but the product of
our forests should be manufactured in
Canada. He believed no government
in Canada would permit our pulp for-
ests to become a dreary waste. We
were handicapped by lack of concerted
action or lack of funds. For years we
had grumbled because Britain had
made bad business arrangements for
us with the United States. Now we
had an opportunity to snake our own
bargain or laws in a vital issue affect-
ing our national prosperity. The In-
ternational Paper Co., controlling
over 30 mills, in a little over a year
acquired 1,255,000 acres of timber
limits, mostly in Canada. If the ex-
port of pulp wood from Canada were
cut off, the paper manufacturing of
the United States would collapse.
Millions upon ,millions of spruce logs,
hundreds of thousands of cords of
pulp wood were exported yearly from
Quebec, New Brunswick and. Nva
Scotia to feed pulp and paper mills of
the States, and what did Canada get
for this ? The government, not $1 a
cord; the man who handles the wood
not ranch more; the railways a low
rate. They did not even allow us to
carry pulp wood. in Canadian vessels.
Me. Lewis pointed out that every cord
of wood ground to piths had a value of
$20; made in to fibre $20 to $32; made
into paper $40 to $15.
He asked the
government to take such action as
will save to labor men of Canada $0,-,
000,00010st annually, or perhaps $20,-
. 000,000 would be nearer the ttiark,
