Ilast August or September must admit Notice of changes must be left at this , that business in general has been much better than was looked for at that time. In the early days of tbe war people were planning all kinds of retrench- ments —they etrench.ments—they were celculating closely on the cost of living, planning to do with- out anything not essential. In business the idea was to reduce operating ex- penses; in the home hired help was re- duced or dispensed with. People squar- ed away to practice the most rigid economies. But most of them did not keep it up very long. In August and September many people stored their autos and discharged their chauffeurs. An evidence of the improv- ed outlook is found in the fact that three thousand more auto licenses have already been issued in Ontario this year than during the whole of last year. And a great many new autos will be sold yet before the end of 1915. Mr. G. T. Somers in his address at the annual meeting of the Sterling Bank spoke of the surprise and pleasure with which he found that the business of the year had been even better than for the preceeding'one. He advanced an idea that deserves attention in many lines of business when he said that he believed the result to be largely due to the fact that the management and staff, know- ing that conditions were not normal, met the case with special efforts. If this idea were worked out heartily it could pull almost any business safely over almost any period of rough going. Good team play will win a game some- times when the most brilliant per- formances of one or two would be of no avail. If all work together, every man in bis place making his little special effort to help overcome the drawback that the general conditions of trade impose on the business, sur- passing results may be noted. An extra lift and a special shove by every- body all at once will set almost any business moving again after it has slowed down. office not later than saturday noon. The copy for changes must be left not later than Monday evening. Casual advertisements accepted up to noon Wednesday of each week THURSDAY, June 17. 1915 EDITORIAL NOTES Premier Scott has announced that all hotels in the Province of Saskatchewan must close their bars on July 1st. A deputation waited on the Premier last week with a petition containing 53,000 names, including those of 41 clergymen, asking that the matter be referred to the people but the Premier pointed out that 25 per cent. of the names so signed were on another petition supporting his policy. The Hotelkeepers' Association will recommend that all hotels be closed, as they say they cannot live without the bar trade. Liquor is a tremendous influence in the financial fortunes of British ad- ministration. The annual expenditure on drink in Britain in round figures is $500,000,000 for beer, $250,000,000 for spirits and 560,000,000 for wines and &der. From customs duties and excise the annual revenue from this in a normal year is $215,000,000. The drink revenue, with the new war tax of two cents per half pint on beer, amounts to 5360,000,000, or, roughly speaking, $1,- 00,000 a day—enough to pay all Can- ada's war costs. Figures like these are sufficient to indicate the trouble and even danger to a Government which attempts any very serious increase in taxation.—Ottawa Citizen. Speaking at a banquet at Quebec a few nights ago, Sir Wilfrid Laurier said: We have already spent enormous sums. We are spending millions daily. If more money is reeked, let us give it. The country is rich and full of re- sources. We must be convinced that there is involved the conservation of tbe country, itself for Canadians, its very existence, an autonomic and free country, and we are therefore interest- ed in the highest degree that the war come to a close as soon as possible, and that the termination be a brilliant victory for our arms. Our sole object must be the crushing of tyranny and liberty -destroying principles, the defin- ite triumph of civilization and justice. It is only when we have accomplished our duty as a nation that our obligation to humanity shall have been fulfiilled. War by land leaves the havoc of its passage bitten into the—face of the country; war by water, or murder on the high seas, leaves no vestige upon the scene. Poets have found a cold, unconquerable callousness in the nature, of the sea, that can swallow up so much human life and agony, and a moment later lie calm and smiling be- neath the sun. Earth at least agonizes with us, mother -like, for atime, though her scars are far sooner healed than ours. Her green waves surge more slowly, and, as it seems to us, more mercifully over the scene of our trage- dies than the crisped, laughing rollers that close over a stricken ship. It is the way of Nature to forget; she tells us thereby that it is ours, not hers, to remember. That her lesson is learnt we know from our seafaring folk; what sailor has a short memory?

THE POTATO Everybody may think he or she knows the potato, but a perusal of Pamphlet No 2, issued by the Publications Branch Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, upon the Solanum tuberosum, will con- vince the same he or she that there is much to learn, A reprint from the Ag. ricultural Gazette, official mouthpiece of the Department, the pamphlet is a collection of articles of superlative worth. Introduced by a brief historical statement showing the place the pota- to occupies in the world's domestic ec- onomy, and especially that of Canada, by which it would appear that the crop is worth to this country upwards of 541,500,000 a year, we are presented with a complete e xp os i tion of the cultivation of the tuber by Mr. W. T. Macoun, Dominion Horti- culturist. Mr. H. T.

All that is One of the commonest forms of nerv- ous trouble that afflicts young child- ren is St. Vitus dance, This is because of the great demand made on the body by growth and development, together with the added strain caused by study. It is when these demands become so great that they impoverish the blood, and the nerves fail to receive their full supply of nourishment that St. Vit. dance develops. The remarkable cess of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills in cur- ing St. Vitus dance should lead •:rents to give this great blood-buildi g medi- cine to their children at the rst signs of the approach of the tro . e. Pallor, listlessness, inattention restlessness and irritability : re all s ptoms which early show tha the . ood and nerves are failing to eet he demand upon them. Here i pr.. f of the great value of Dr. Willie ink Pills in cases of this kind. Mr. Alfred Sochner, R. R. No 5. Dunnville, Ont., says: "Our ten- year -old daughter suffered very severe- ly from St. Vitus dance. The trouble came on to gradually that we were not alarmed until it affected her arms, which would twitch and jerk to such an extent that she could scarcely walk and could not hold anything in her hands steadily. She suffered for about five months before we began giving her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but she had not taken these long before we found that they were the right medicine, and after she had taken nine boxes she had fully recovered her former health and strength. I can strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to every parent having a child suffering from St. Vitus dance or any form of nervousness." In troubles of this kind no other medicine has met with such success as Dr Williams' Pink Pi11s.g.You can get these Pills through any medicine dealers or by mail at5'} cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Med- icine Co., Brockville, Ont. c - WHAT THE CHURCHES SAY. Their Opinions on the NewLicense Com- mission and the Ontario Temperance Situation. LONDON METHODIST CONFERENCE:— "The Central Commission may mean much but your Committee calls attention to the fact that the Methodist Church did.not ask for a Central Commission or for another dry holiday, but "a dry Ontario" every day, and the appoint- ment of a Commission is far from satis- fying us, or, in the words of a recent press article, "spiking our guns.'' Until the Central Commission spells prohibition, we will cry mightily unto God and a Book of Remembrance will be written and in that cry the iniquitous three-fifths clause writhe remembered." Rev. Dr. Chown, Superintendent, Methodist Church, at Toronto Methodist Conference:—"Stripped of every rag of responsibility the liquor trade in Ontario continues to flourish and the Govern- ment covers it with a mantle of pro- tection and asks us to perpetuate it. We will have nothing to do with a license under a commission or without a commission. We are out to annihilate the trade. Nothing else will do." ANGLICAN SYNOD, TORONTO:— "In view of the danger occasioned to the Empire by the ravages of this dead - y and insidious foe to our:race, this Synod most earnestly advocates and ap- proves of the policy of total prohibition of the liquor traffic during the time of the war and instructs the committee on temperance and moral and social reform to take all steps in their power in con- junction with other religious bodies to procure legislation in order to achieve this result." Rev. Mr. Armitage, at the Anglican Synod, Toronto:—"Itis the Church that is on trial and not the liquor traffic." Mr. Mark Bredin, at the Anglican Synod, Toronto:—"Some things you cannot regulate. The only means is abolition. If ever there was a curse that cannot be regulated it is the liquor trail. Abolition for the length of the war is -geed, but for alt time is better." potato -growing contests are conducted Who bas not heard of Muskoka, the charming summer resort district in the Highlands of Ontario.

Te "floating court" le an institu- tion founded by the United States gov- ernment for administering judgment In the far north. An interesting example of the unusual problems that confront- ed Captain A. J. Henderson, one of the first judges of the court, Is told by Mr. Walter Noble Burns in the Wide World Magazine: One day, at Point Hope, tbere ap- peared before the court held on the Tit Captain Henderson's ship, an Eskimo and his wife. They were ccompanied by their pretty daughter and two stalwart young men, who were suitors for her hand. In choicest Eskimo that sounded like a series of explosions of vocal dynamite, the ven- erable father poured a voluble tale into the ears of the interpreter. "This man, he say," began the inter- preter, nterpreter, "these two feller want this gal for wife. One feller he offer a rifle, ten pound whalebone, six walrus tusk. a dog team and slecL The other feller, be give kayak, two reindeer, a bear- skin and six fox skin. This gal the old man's only daughter. He old, and he want good trade. But he not know which he best take. He say maybe you tell him." Captain Henderson is no Cupid :he stands six feet two and weighs 250 pounds—but he determined to essay the role of Cupid's first assistant. "You love this girl?" he asked one suitor. "Yes," replied the interpreter, "he love her." "And do you love her?' the captain asked the other. "Yes, he love her too." The captain looked at the girl, who was a pretty little thing, something over four feet high. with coal black hair plastered down over her temples, and sloe -black roguish eyes. Let no one doubt the vital beauty of Eskimo maids in the flush of youth and health. "Here." said the captain to the girl. "which one of these men do you want?" The interpreter put the question. The maiden's eyes grew brighter, her cheeks a deeper crimson and a coy smile wreathed her lips. She stepped over to one of the young men unhesi- tatingly and touched him on the arm. "This one," she said, and there was no need for the interpreter to translate. "A.11, right," said the captain, with a oar of laughter, "take him." And he married them on the spot Straight froth the ship back to tire vil- lage the newly wedded couple paddled, ,to set up housekeeping and to live happily, no doubt, ever afterward. The beide's father touched off a few more explosions of vocal dynamite into the interpreter's ear. "Ile say," declared the interpreter to Captain Henderson. "he satisfied" 0 Where Moslem Pilgrims Land. Jeddah is a most important town for the entire human race, apart from be- ing the principal landing place for pil- grims to Mecca.

Burton calculated that our first parent "meas- ured 120 paces from head to waist and 80 from waist to heel and must have presented the appearance of a duck."
