--In the opinion of Prof. V. 13.
Lewes, when the existing supplies of
fuel become limited, men must rely
upon alcohol produced from vegeta-
tion of some sort, which may be pro-
duced in any required quantity. Pro-
fessor Lewes thinks that the alcohol
will be manufactured either from
potato starch or sawdust. But where
is sawdust to come from, with timber
so scarce ?
WARLIKE EXPENDITURE IN PEACE.
TTTTTTOTTITTTTIN
Tlie thoughtful reader, be he Con-
servative or Liberal, should ponder
carefully the following, and then hon-
estly ask himself ---
IS. TIIIs 1XrENDrrv1tl.
NECI SSA'1i' ?
In the last full fiscal year, reported,
the Dominion Cloverntnent expended
for the benefit of agriculture, $518,070,
In the sante year the expenditure
charged to Militia and Defence was
$5,501,000, In other words, thousands
for agrioniture, hut millions for
milit'►a.
It is a time of peace; Canadaa is not
threatened by any foreign invader;
no danger lurks in waiting. Yet the
Government epends $11 for military
purposes, for ono dollar spent in agri-
eulture. Is this right? Every fanner,
Grit or Tory, should say"No" to this
sort of thing by his ballot.
''.Che report of the Civil Service Com-
mission, now,in print, was prepared
by three honst Liberal Commission-
ers appointed by the Government, and
they say that, while the permanent
force of militia is only three thousand
men, the headquarters' staff is suffi,
tient for an army of one hundred
thousand. Here is a list of

The Temperance forces won decided
victories in Illinois and Michigan, last
week. In 81 counties out of the 102
counties in Illinois (outside of Chicago)
there were contests, and twenty coun-
ties became absolutely "dry," 'and
1,500 saloons will be closed. In Michi-
gan, ten out of fourteen counties de-
clared for local prohibition. In Wis-
consin, the results seem to have gone
chiefly in favor of license. There is
no disguising the fact, that there is a
tremendous wave of temperance senti-
ment sweeping over the North Ameri-
can continent.

and in the future pay the rate of in-
surance, at his present age for $100,
which would probably make the rate
$1.00 per month for a tiloueand of in-
surance, or a, roto higher than almost
any of the couiulereieal or straight line
insurance companies, Tho Supreme
Lodge will meet in dune, and the rates
will be discussed, and a schedule
niade. This latter will be submitted
to the Government, and if accepted it
will place the society on a better basis,
but Many of the older incnrber's will
have to drop out; if rejected by the
Government, it will mean the possible
wiping out of the society, The in-
spector appointed by the Government,
has antocratic power, and Can suspend
er cannel the charter of any insurance
company without notice, and as ho has
no sympathy with fraternal insur-
ance, the outlook is very dark, The
rate proposed by the Government is
prohibitive. If adopted, the members
who have built up the society, who
have borne the burden and heat of rim
day, who have given their labbr
freely, and unceasingly foe the good
of order, and who have amassed a re-
serve of about $12,000,000 will be cast
aside in their old age, because they
are not in a position to pay the in-
creased and most unjust demand of
-the Government.

-The Saskatoon Phoenix seems to
be perfectly honest in presenting Sas-
katchewan's claims before prospec-
tive settlers. Referring to the wea-
ther of the west, the time honored
statement, that "though it may be
cold you don't feel it," is qualified.
The Phoenix man admits that the Sas-
katchewan winter is cold and he as-
sures new comers that they will feel it
unless they come, prepared, with pro-
per winter clothing. These require-
ments being met, he backs his climate
against all others and bids the settler
come along before the rush.

-In a recent lecture before the
Royal Geographical Society of Lon-
don, Eng., Halford John McKinder,
the well-known geographer, . -stated
that the doom of Great Britain as the
centre of Empire was foretold in the
world movement now taking place.
Should Canada remain a part of the
British Empire it would become the
centre of the Empire, while England
would be of importance chiefly as a
defence of Canada against the great
Continental powers, having some of
the characteristics of a flying base of
operations. These prophecies are to -
be fulfilled within the next generation.

-Construction work will be actively
pursued by the Grand Trunk Pacific
Railway in the Northwest Provinces
in 1008. The contract for the con-
struction of 126 miles of railway east
of Edmonton, to Wolf Creek, was
awarded by the Company at a price of
approximately $0,000,000 for the en-
tire contract. In addition, contracts
for 200 miles west of Edmonton and
100 miles east of Prince Rupert, the
Pacific terminus of the road, will be
awarded shortly. It istheintention
of the Company to complete the Lake
Superior branch and the line between
Winnipeg and Edmonton during 1908.

-The Christian Guardian points out
that from March 29, 1907, to March
31, 1908, the lives of fifty men were
sacrificed on the one hundred mile
stretch of the National Transconti-
nental Railway, between the Mani-
toba boundary and the east end of
Canyon Lake. This does not include
those killed on the section east of Ver-
miIlion, and it does not take any ac-
count of the scores of accidents by
which eyes or limbs have been lost.
It is freely stated in Kenora that on
one section the toll of human life was
over a man a inile, and on the fifteen
miles south of the Canyon Lake, north
of Vermillion, it is said that the
bodies of no less than thirty workmen
lie beneath the soca.

CANADA AND HER FUTURE.
The American press is beginning to
recognize the tremendous resources
that Canada possesses, and is now
prepared to admit that she has a great
future before her. It is only a few
years since American papers saw
nothing in Canada, and did all they
could to belittle her. Now, she is
attracting to her fertile lands, thou-
sands of American farmers, and our
neighbors are getting their eyes open-
ed as -to Canada's importance. In
referring to this, the New York Times
says :-
"At present Canada has a popula-
tion of something over -five millions,
and the United Kingdom has a popu-
lation of more than fifty millions,
roughly speaking ten to one, Canada
has been a British possession for not
quite a century and a half, and the
growth of its population has been in
rather slower ratio than that of the
British Isles. During the last four
decades it has been 'more rapid and
advanced in industry, in production,
in development of resources has been.
marked by great energy and intelli-
gence. Such an advance has a ten-
dency to be cumulative and it is
entirely reasonable to infer that in the
next four decades it will be much
more rapid and effectual than in the
last four. There is no doubt whatever
that Canada has a splendid future
within its reach and that she is.
advancing with great rapidity to-
wards its realization. The natural
resources of land are practically inex-
haustible. The basic materials of
food, shelter, clothing, fuel, with most
'of the essential, metals, these Canada
has in vast store and variety. Her
people are vigorous, fairly homogene-
ous, for the most part of excellent
stock, apt at politieal activity and
essentially progressive. For their
prosperity certainly all reasonable
Americans on our side of the border
ban have only the most cordial
wishes."

A writer in a leading farm journal
gives the following suggestions :-
As seed time draws near it is our
duty to ask ourselves a few questions.
s should. be,can"I
make
Oicle of these s o
-any improvement over the past as to
varieties of seed grain, and as to nay
system of putting it in the soil ? Any-
one who has not tried mixed grains
should by all means try part of his
crop mixed. . Good results may be
obtained from, a mixture of 2 parts
oats, 1e parts barley, and a part of
peas. If I could get clean goose wheat
I would prefer 2 parts oats, 1 part bar-
ley, 'i part goose wheat and } part
peas, by weight. In either mixture
add a very little flax seed.
We can obtain much larger yields
by mixing than by growing grains
separate. Of course anyone growing
grain for sale cannot follow this prac-
tice. It is advisable for every farmer
to experiment in a small way with
other varieties of grain alongside of
the varieties he sows. In this way he
will find out for himself the variety
that suits his particular conditions.
There is no doubt but that one variety
will excel under one condition, while
another will excel under other condi-
tions, perhaps only a few miles
away.
Any repairs needed -to make the
farm machinery do satisfactory work
should be attended to at once. It will
save considerable loss of valuable time
later on.

-Premier Whitney, in replying to
the charge of gerrymander, pointed
out the following :--
The popular vote in Ontario elec-
tion in 1883 was
Liberal 127,804
Conservative. 130,011
giving a Conservative majority in the
province of 5137. This vote resulted
in the election of
40 Liberate,
30 Conservative°,
or Libei'al majority of 10.
Then Sir Oliver Mowat redistributed
the province, changing the boundaries
of about 40 constituencies, and in the
election of 1830 the popular vote was
Liberal. 153,121
Goeservattve.... . .102,000
or aConservative majority
i
n the p
ro-
vince
of 0800 ; but the standing in the
legislature in 18813 was t
50 Liberals,
29 Conservntll/We
giving a Liberal majority of 30.
Thus, in epite of the fact that the
popular vote ofthe Conservatives had
more than trebled, the resfr&'t of the
Mowat gerrymander was that the Lib-
Oral majority in the legislature was
trebled.

She is in danger, her system is run-

needs richer blood. More than all
else she needs Ferrozone, needs it
because it brings the nerve energy
which rapidly growth and study have
exhausted. The old-tiene vigor, hap-

with Ferrozone. The delicate maid is
energized, strengthened and rebuilt.
Isn't it worth while using Ferrozone
