CHASING THE SHADOW.
During the past four months, accord•
ing to Government figures, Canada ex-
ported goods to the value of $130,811,-
013 and imported to the value of $227,-
675,270,
Canada exported to great Britain
goods valued at $59,985,645 and took
from Great Britain imports of $48,188,-
012.
Canada sent to She United States
goods valued at 02,7 )2,585 and imported
from the same country to the extent of
$148,36'7, 823.
Less than 25 per cent. of British
goods came to Canada duty free. Near.
ly 27 per cent. came here duty free
from the United States.
Canada's gross trade with Great
Britain for the first four months was
$108,173,657, or more than $40,000,000
less than her imports from the United
States.
Our gross trade with the United
States was $202,170,408, or almost
double that with Great Iiritain. Our
imports from the States more than
trebled those from the Mother country.
In face of these facts the Borden
Govefnment has steadily refused the
demand of Western consumers that the
British preference should be increased
to 40 per cent. as a step towards actual
free trade with the Mother country.
In face of these facts Hon. Geo. E.
Foster has been kept touring the world,
ostensibly looking for odd corners to
trade with, while the Government has
systematically neglected the two
countries with which 4.5 of our trade is
done.
During the four months covered by
these figures the United States has put
into effect a new tariff, reducing its
taxes on imported g od; by 28 per
cent. for the benefit of its own consum-
ers. During the dame four months Mr.
Borden and his colleagues have spent
most of their time enjoying splendid
trips all over the map.
During these four months the Borden
Government has collected taxes of $50,-
444,081 on imported goods.
Have the people of Canada received
any fair return for this vast sum?
A MILLION DOLLARS FOR GOOD
ROADS.
One of the most important of the
many road improvements plans now un-
der way in various parts of Canada, is
that just launched in Essex County,
Ontario. At a meeting of the Council,
on Thursday, October 16th, a By -Law
was drawn up for presentation to the
voters next January. The By -Law
calls for the raising of a million dollars
to provide for concrete roadways cov-
ering no less than 150 miles, and connec-
ting all the important communities of
Essex County. The proposed routes of
the concrete roads will completely
circle the County, and afford the finest
type of highway connection to the far-
mers for reaching Windsor or any of
the smaller towns.
With the assistance of Engineer Hub -
e:, of the Ontario Government, the
committee appointed at the last session
of the council, went over the different
roads proposed for paving. Basing his
recommendation upon the fact that the
route will be used for much heavy traf-
fic, Mr. Huber made his report in favor
of using Concrete throughout.

WINGHAM ,TWENTY YEARS AGO
From the TIMES of Nov. 3, 1893 take possession in the course of a
LOCAL NEWS.
Mr. Goo. McTavish has purchased a
nice building lot on Shuter street, just
north of Mr. 1). M. Gordon's residence,
and intends erecting a residence thereon
this fall.
At the regular meeting of court Mait-
land No. 25, Canadian Order of Forest-
ers, held on Friday evening last, the
following officers were elected for the
ensuing term: Robt. Kittson,C. R.;
John Lockeridge, V.C. R.; T. J. McLean.
R. S.; D. M. Gordon, F. S.; S. Gracey,
T.; J. Neelands, Chap.; D Small, S.
W.; H. B. Elliott, J. W.; A. R. Mc-
Donald, S. B.; It win Patterson, J. B.
An interesting feature of the plan as
outlined, is the provision of a continuous
route of good roads. There has been
instances in other communities where
otherwise excellent road development
ideas were, in a measure, spoiled by
failure to have the good road a contin-
uous good road The Essex County
Council have shown their wisdom and
far-sightedness by providing for the
complete connecting up of the proposed
concrete stretches, so that in the com-
pleted project there will be no inter-
ruptions of unimproved or bad roads. ,
While not in a straight line, the com-
pleted series of roads will be, in effect,
one long continuous highway all of con-
crete, and taking in practically the
whole of Essex County.
There would seem to be a peculiarly
enterprising spirit in the vicinity of the
Detroit River. On one side of the
River we have Wayne County, Michi-
gan (the county of which Detroit is the
principal centre) with approximately
10) miles of concrete County highways.
This magnificent series of highways
has been a model for other communities
and has attracted visitors on inspection
tours from all over the world. Now
comes Essex County, a sister communi-
ty, oeour side of the river, with a plan
which bids fair to fully equal that of
Wayne County, and which will perhaps
eventually eclipse the splendid road sys-
tem that is the pride of Michigan. The
building of 150 miles of concrete high-
ways such as Essex County is to have,
means a model county from the view-
point of inter -communication beweeh
towns. Doubtless we will find deputa-
tions of municipal officers visiting Es-
sex County to obtain pointers on how
best to link together the farm com-
munities with the market places. The
eyes of all North America will turn to-
ward Essex County and watch with
growing interest the completion of
this project.
During the election campaign of 1911
the anti -reciprocity high tariff fed in-
terests bombarded the English speaking
people of Canada with declarations that
if "the pact" were ratified and Canada
should trade more freely with her neigh -
ors the Dominion would be pried out
cf the Empire and become a mere ad-
junct to the United States. After two
Sears t,f the Borden Government Can-
t cia imports three times as much from
the States as from (Great Britain and
Exports almost as much south of the
border as to the Mother country. It
is certain that with the great reduc-
tion of the American tariff Canada's
exports to the States will increase pro-
portionately.
Where now is the "committee of
eighteen," whose words and money
were so much to the front in 1911?
Where is "B. itish born" Arthur
Hawkes? Where do the Toronto
World and News stand? The noisy
Union Jack fever of two years ago has
cooled. The noble eighteen are silent
as long as their own high tariff pro
taction is secure, while their setting
power to the States is increased.
thur Ilawkss has become disgusted
with the "empty shell" Naval subte'r-
rug+• of Mx. Borden. The Teront o News

Cost of Living in Canada.
Instead of being as it ought to be,
one of the cheapest places in the world
to live in, Canada is becoming one of
the dearest. The cost of living is ris-
ing more rapidly than in any other coun-
try. No one seems to be able to ex-
plain the mystery. We have not been
involved in any great war. We have
not sustained any great financial loss.
We have suffered no catastrophy, either
social or physical. Our unpopulated
west is settling up. We grow enor-
mous quantities of food, and especially
the most important of all foods, hard
wheat of the finest quality. It is quite
clear that something is wrong with
Canada, and it should be the business
of the Minister of Finance and his col-
leagues to ascertain what it is.
With smug self -efficiency they parade
for public admiration the enormous cus-
toms revenue obtained as a matter of
course and of routine from the Fielding
tariff. The people of East Middlesex
and South Bruce have it in their power
just now to administer a shock to the
easy going Bordenites that would put
some energy into them. It would be
worth while for moderate conservatives
who admire their own party govern-
ment to let its members understand
that they must bestir themselves in
this the most important of all politi-
cal tluestions.--Guelph Mercury.

The Drug Habit in Canada.
[Toronto Globe.]
The addresses of Dr. W. A. Yourg
at the seventh annual conference of the
Canadian Hospital Association, and the
letter published to -day from a leading
pharmacist, Mr. G. E. Gibbard, have
brought into needed prominence a sub-
ject of vital moment to the people of Can-
ada. The spectacular destruction of alco- 1
hol's victims is in sharp contrast to the
concealed inroads of the drug habit.
While active philanthropic and reforma-
tory agencies are restricting the injuri-
ous spread of alcoholic indulgence, the
more insidious, more dangerous, and
more destructive use of drugs has been
spreading almost unsuspected, and
with but little restraint in the form of
public warning or popular education, 1
There are several drugs regarded as
habit-forming which deprive their vic-
tims of the will to resist, and force !
helpless indulgence to the destruction
of physical strength and mental and
moral energy.
To people normally strong-willed the
change wrought by the drug habit in
its victims seems mysterious and even
incredible, but the physican and the
pharmacist know from pained obser-
vation how strong wills are brought to
childish weakness and master minds to
conditions of imbecility. Physicians
and pharmacists have already done
much to arrest the spread of this evil.
The doctor who indolently yields to the
importunities of debauched or suffering
patients until they are helpless victims
of a destructive indulgence, and the
pharmacist who makes a shameless pro-
fit by catering to destructive weak-
nesses, are not representatives of these
honorable professions, and should not
be made the subject of mutual criticism,
Physicians and chemists must unite
against an enemy of their country and
their race. This may seem a strong as-
sertion, but it is fully justified by the
private testimony of then of experience
in both professions.
A good start has already Joel made
inDominionand provincial legislation,
but there is urgent need of machinery
for enfurcir;; the law. Both should be
made so cif._ dive that all habit forming
drugs wti; be followed a::J recorded
from mat.a'..'acturer to user. whether
they pass through the hands of phar-
macists or physicians. It utas• not be

A Remarkably Interesting Experiment.
It is• says Youth's Companion, gen-
erally known that in respiration animals
take oxygen from the air and give off
carbon dioxide gas, and that plants in
their breathing take carbon dioxide
from the air and give up oxygen. The
question has often been raised whether
or not a closed system could be devised,
in which animals might furnish plants
with just sufficient carbon dioxide for
food. and in exchange get just enough
oxygen to support life. A recent ex-
periment by a biologist at the Eastern
Illinois State Normal School has given
a decisive answer to the affirmative.
A tall eight -liter glass jar was half
filled with water, in which minute
quantities of certain salts that plants
heed had been dissolved. To it was
added a pure culture of a common alga,
Scenedesmus, which multiplied rapidly.
At the end of ten days a goldfish two
and one-half inches long was placed in
the jar, which was then closed with a
ground-glass stopper, And hermetically
sealen with was. The jar was placed
near a west window, but out of the
direct sunlight, and was closely watch-
ed for several days, so that at the first
signs of discomfort on the part of the
fish, the cover could be removed. But
both the fish and the vegetation thrived
day after day and week after week,
until seven months had elapsed, when
the experiment was brought to an end
During all that time the fish had no
food except the alga itself, and the
molds and fungi that had grown upon
it, and no oxygen except that which
was in the jar when it was sealed and
that set free by the alga. The alga,
on the other hand, had no carbon diox-
ide except that produced by the fish.
Yet both animal and plant went through
this long continement in such close
quarters in apparently good health.

THE BACK OF YOUR HAND.
Its Vein Markings Different From
Those of All Other Hands.
For seYeral years a newer and better
method than the world known Retell -
Ion system for the identification 01
criminals was hoped for, and this bus
been found, It was devised by Pro-
fessor Tamassia of the University of
Padua, Italy. It consists in identify-
ing the• form of the veins on the back
of the hand,
Strange as it may appear, It Is never-
theless a fact that no two persons
have veins On the backs of their hands
which resemble each other's. Even
the right and left hands of the same
individual differ as a rule so widely
that they bear no resemblance at all.
This Is very strange; seeing that we
are anatomically so exactly alike in
every other respect. Yet any one who
examines the backs of his hands will
see this for himself in a moment. i110
two hands are alike in vein markings,
and this constitutes a perfect and in-
fallible identification method for crimi-
nals, as the disposition of the velne,
cannot be altered without seriously
mutilating the hacks of the bands.
The right and Left hands should both
be observed when identifying a crimi-
nal, and the two hands would thus, to
a certain extent, check off each other
and add to the certainty of the identi-
fication. In order to apply this meth-
od photographs are taken of the backs
of the two hauds. These photographs
must be very clear and accurate, nal
to insure this result the hands are
placed in a pendent position for some
time, when the veins will be found to
swell from the extra blood pressure
under the force of gravity. The veins
are then painted over with some dark
pigment. and the wrists are bound ave
by a tight bandage. 1n this way the
veins can be made to stand out very
prominently and can be photographed
with ease. -London Chronicle.
CiVIL SERVICE POSITIONS.

Various Presidents.

tle over 36,000 fourth class postmasters

high figure. The civil service act was

pacing record in 2:04. Thnt was a
great day. mid from then oh he became
