There was a large number of shareholderspreeent, It was moved by A. W. Austin, seeontled by E. W. Namber, that Sir Edmund 13. Osler, M.P., do take the chatr, and that Mr, C. A. Begert do not as Secretary. 1 Messrs. A. R. 13oswell, K,C,, and W. Gibson Oasseis were appointed; scrutineers.The Secretary Read the Repert of the Directors to the Shareholders, and submitted the Annual Statement of the affairs of the Bank, which is as follows :---� TO the Shareholders ; The Directors beg to submit the Forty-second Annual P,eport of the affairs of the Bank, and the result of its operations for the twelve months ended 31st December, 1912, which they feel will be received with satisfac- tion by the Shareholdears ; - Balance of Profit and Loss Account, 80th December, 1911, , , . 4$ 5°0,1" 10 Net profits for the year, after deducting all charges and making full provision for bad and doubtful debts , . , , , , . , , . 901,529 44 Premium received on new Capital Stock. . 207,200 63 Making a total of , . ... $1,698,846 17 Which has been disposed of as follows Dividends (quarterly) at Twelve per cent. per Bonus, Two Two per cent 100,000 00 4-, an - $588,6$6 68 Total distribution to Shareholders of per cent for the year Contribution to officers' Pension Fund...

The prosperity of the country and the consequent demand for banking accommodation permit- ted the employment of its funds to unusual advantage throughout the year, resulting in earnings sumelent to enable the Directors to distribute a bonus of 2 per cent. in addition to the usual dividend of 12 per cent. To meet the general expansion of business in Canada, in which this Bank continues to participate, your Directors decided to issue to the Shareholders of record of the 15th of February, 1913, a further $1,000,000 of new Capital Stock, at a premium of 100. This issue is a part of the $5,000,000 of new stock authorized by the Shareholders at the Annual Meeting of the 26th January, 1910, and duly , approved by the Treasury Board at Ottawa. Particulars of this allotment will be given forthwith to the Shareholders by circular. When payment of this issue has been made in full the paid-up Capital of the Bank will amount to $6,000,000, and of the -total Authorized Capital of $10,000,000 there will remain unissued $4,000,000. Owing to the growing importance of the Bank's business the Directors considered it advisable to recommend an increase ;in their number from nine to eleven, and a by-law will be submitted to you covering this change. You will also be asked to give your sanction to a by-law increasing the remuneration of the Directors, made necessary by these additions to the Board. In connection with Bank Premises the year just closed was one of unusual importance, several transactions of great moment having been brought to ..completion. You were informed at the annual meeting in 1911 of the purchase of the property on the Northeast corner of King and Yonge Streets, Toronto, for the purposes of Head Office premises, as your directors were at that time unable to acquire sufficient land immediately adjoining the present site. Last year, however, they succeeded in purchasing the property directly south of that now occupied, and extending to Melinda Street. A sale of the northeast corner was subsequently effected at a satisfactory price. Plans have been prepared, and it is the intention to begin active opera - time at an early date for the erection of a building that should meet the Bank's requirements for many years to come. Necessary outlays have been made for improvements to several offices already established, for new Branches opened, and for the purchase of the premises which the Bank has for many years occupied at the corner of Queen and Sherbourne Streets, Toronto, and at Oshawa, Out, Sites were also secured at West Toronto, Edmonton South (formerly Strathcona), Elmwood (Winnipeg), and additional property was acquired adjoining our Windsor, Ont., Branch.. Branches of the Bank were opened in 1912 as follows ;-In. Ontario --- Dupont and Christie Streets, Roncesvalies and High Park Avenues, Dufferin Street and Lappin Avenue, Dufferin Street and St. Clair Avenue, Toronto ; By -Ward Market Branch, Ottawa ; and Port Arthur. In the Western. Provinces -Swift Current, Moose Jaw (South Hill Branch), Saskatchewan ; Edmonton (First Street Branch), Calgary (River- side Branch), Alberta ; North Vancouver, British Columbia. New Dundee and Malton, Ont., and Weavota, Sask., Branches were closed In 1912. Every Branch of the Bank has been Inspected during, the year by Head Office officials, specially qualified for such duties, and, as is cu'tomary, the Balance Sheet of the 31st December, 1912, including the Cash Assets and Investments of the Institution, has been verified by a Committee of your Directors. E. 3. OSLBIR, Toronto, 29th January, 19'13. President. The Report was adopted. A by-law was passed authorising an increase In the nurnber of Directors from nine to eleven.

ZamMBuk Was Then - Tried And Work. ed A cure. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• \siting from Poplar, B. C., Mrs. 0. Hanson, wife of the proprietor of he Commercial .Hotel, says ;-"1 euf- teared for years with bleeding piles. The pain was so bad at tines that I could hardly walk, and ordinary re- rned;es seemed utterly unable to give me any ease, Finally T decided to undergo an operation, and went to the peered Heart Hospital in Spokane. There they performed an operation and did all they could for me. For a time I was certainly better, but with- in 12 months the trouble started again and the piles became as painful as ever, I tried liniments, hot poultices, various 'pile cures,' and indeed every- thing I could think would be likely to do any good, but still T continued to suffer, and the shooting, burning, ingiog pains, the dull, aching and wretched worn-out feeling that the 1isease causes continued as bad as. ever, "One day I read about Zana -Bak and thought I would try it, The first one or two boxes gave me more ease than anything else I bad tried, so I went on with the treatment. In a short time t began to feel altogether different and better, and I saw that Zaan-Buk was going to cure me. Well, I went on using it, and by the time T had used six boxes T was delighted to find myself entirely cured. That was three years ago, and from then to the present time there bas been no return +,f the trouble trouble."

"Close" punctuation which consists in inserting the points frequently, has apparently gone out in the daily .4riss, for in a New York city news- paper the other day a sentence of 100 words ,was noticed which carried no punctuation mark except at the end. How different this from the t3 p : - graph'ca1 style in the time of Rufus Choate, whose tribute to Daniel Web- ster, in a single sentence of over 1,000 words carried nearly as many com- mas, semicolons and dashes. --Every ten days since New a hank president has been sent from Brooklyn by supreme Justice Crane.

Coming Through The Rye. Probably very few persons under- stood the expression "Cowin' Through the Rye." There is in Scotland a email stream called the Rye. The girls ferci- ed it going to church, school and to market, and as the. water Was a foot or two deep they had to hold their skirts up. The boys would meet thein in raid -stream and kiss them without any difficulty, as the girls couldn't drop their skirts to make any re- sistance. That's what the poet insane when he wrote "Conoin' Thro' the Rye," but most people think he meant a field of rye,. Cure Por Rheumatism, A coal miner, whose fingers were drawn completely out of shape by chronic rheumatism, and whose limbs had becotne so stiff that he could 4Wcarcely wale, introduced into his dietary the eating of an onion every morning with his breakfast. After following this regime faithfully for several weeks, he began to improve. Greatly encouraged, he continued to use the onions quite freely, with the result that he was eventually entirely cured. The raw onions, acting as a blood purifier, had gradually eliminat-1 ed the rheumatic poisons from the subject's system, HOW OLD ARE YOU BY YOUR HAIR.

Difficult Tasks, When a hard thing is to be done the natural inclination of most of us is to allow ourselves to think on the effort necessary to do it, instead of going ahead and doing it. And here we make one of the most common mis- takes in our lives. When one is con- fronted hy a severe task of duty which seems almost beyond one's powers, it is fatal to pause to consider its difficul- ties. Never mind how bard it may seem, nothing can he tolerated in the mind except the consideration of ways of accomplishing it. The secret of ac- complishment lies in the answer of the urchin NI, ha was asked if he thought he could get the wood -chuck for which he was energetically dig. ging: "Get him ? Why, man, I've got to get him ; the m&taister'e coming to dinner and there ain't no meat in the house 1" --After all, the fuel problem did not prove as serious as was feared. There has been no real famine, nor even a very serious scarcity, though the price h -ss been higher than usual. With the mild winter, the danger is now past. This is perhaps another illus- tration of the rales that many of the troubles we worry over the most, never overtake us, and we mar much of life by "crossing the bridge before we come to it," Try The Advance.
