Proceedings of
The Forty-Sirond Annual Goneral Meeting of
the Shareholders
'11-114 E FORTY+SECOND ANNUAL G1 N ItAZ4 MEETING OF TUE DO,
MINION 1.3ANIC was held at the Banking ?-louse of the Institution, Toronto,
on Wednesday, 29th January, 1918.
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-

There has been a further gratifying increase in the business of the Bank,
as evidenced by the figures in the Statement' presented. 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,

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
\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,

"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

About Punctuation.
"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.

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,

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,"
