Why Canada Should be Confident
Financial fret of August 14th
In view
of the taki
n
lP
places
in Europe, which will constitute an
epoch of perhaps, unprecedented iw
portance in history, we appeal strong-
ly to all Canadian business men and
all who hold securities or investments
of any kind to meet the present situa-
tion with calmness and confidence
Our firet duty, at any cost, is to aid in
Great Britain's sustenance and de-
fence. and our next duty, not lest
important, is to keep the business of
the Dominion moving as normally as
possible.
Let it be remembered that while we
must lay aside aomething to pay our
share of the cost of the war, we have
at our back storehouses of natural
wealth scarcely yet touched. As the
calamities of Europe place a higher
value on our wheat and other expor-
table crops, so will the same calamities
—the result of militarism and con-
scription—make the peaceful land. of
Canada more attractive to some of
the best people of Europe whose hopes
and lands, generation after generation,
have been despoiled or devastated by
war. A t the present instant Canada
stands practically immune from the
physical mcnance of war ; our fields
are giving their wealth to the harves-
ter, and our other resources are yield-
ing their bounty in greater propor-
tions than ever. Wealth production
is proceeding, and the opportunities
for still greater primary production
are not diminishing. This continent,
including Canada, will profit largely
and speedily by the changes in the
world's currents of trade during the
war. Many of our factories will find
demands upon them stimulated be-
oauee of restriction placed upon the
productive machinery of Europe by
the exigencies of war, and though fur
a time in diminished quantities, a fair
proportion of Britain's available capi-
tal will come to Canada for invest-
ment. Under the circumstances, there-
fore, the one great essential to keep
business moving is cot fi lence, and
Canada, probably of all nations of the
world, has least ex,use to tiler for
any lack of it.
"In the unprecedented and critical
Iituatioa that exiete," says Sir Geo.
Paish, "it is of the greatest importance
fthat everyoneshould to act
es if great events were not impending.
Were confidence seriously cisturbed,
business would come praoticaily to ten
end, and our ability to face the diffl-
culties that may be in front of us
would be seriously impaired. There-
fore, it is of vital importance that, as
tar as possible, the events that are
now taking place should not interfere
with the daily life and the daily work
of the nation. Ceders should be given,
factories should be run, and every.
thing should be arranged to maintain,
as far as possible, the productive
power and the income of_the country.
"But for this to be accomplished,
the situation must be faced with
courage and confidence on the part of
everyone. Investors must continue
to invest, bankers must continue to
lend, the Stock Exchange must cons
tinue to deal, and every one according
to hie ability must endeavor to work
hard in order that individual incomes,
and therefore the income of the whole
nation, may be maintained at the
highest possible level.
"A little over a century ago, when
the nation was at -war with 1Vapoleon,
its income was a very small one, being
less than one-eighth of what it is at
present, and in a comparatively small
space of time the British people sue,.
ceeded in raising about £1,000,000,000
of money for war purposes, and so
great was theirconfl.lence and courage
that at the end of the great war,
which severely taxed their resources,
they were stronger and wealthier than
they had been at the beginning."
Canada's natural store is as yet
barely touched. From any temporary
lull in our progress, from iv/ a ever
cause, we can therefore, recover our-
selves more quickly than did the
Motherland after her world struggle
of a century ago if our people are of
the same heart and industry, and we
are confident they are. Courage in
the fight for the Empire is not more
necessary than courage iu tae mainten•
ante of the industry and commerce of
the country.—Financial Post.

THE EMEROENCY
The Brantford Expoeitor, like a good
many other Liberal newspapers, is
restless over the position in whish the
Liberal party finds itself and can of
refrain from political criticism and
attack, It says:
"The Toronto Newe would have
its readers beleive that Sir R. L.
Borden knew all along that what.
is now happening in Europe was
gent g to happen. Well if ho dld,
why did he not reintroduce his
naval proposals in the ]douse of
Commons last session? To say
that he knew such action would be
futile in view of the attitude of
the attitude of the Senate is not
sufifcent explanation. That he
dropped bis proposals for the time
being is sufficient evidence that he
had no faith in his own 'emerg-
ency"
Neither Sir Robert Borden nor any
other statesman or journalist could
have absolutely foreseen the situation
which now exists in Europe. All that
s claimed for the Prime Minister is
that he knew the forces were gathering
in Europe for a world-shaking contest,
that he 'knew Germany designed an
attack upon Great Britian and that be
knew a peace -loving British Govern-
ment nt felt obliged to lucre ase approp-
riations for defence beyond all preced-
ent in order to prepare for the danger
which threatened.
Moreover the naval programme
of the Borden Government had the
direct and unequivocal approval of.
the Imperial authorities. When Mr.
Borden asked the Liberal Government
of Great Britain how best Canada
could aid the Empire in the existing
situation in Europe, the Admiralty
answered : "Tho Prime Minister of
the Dominion having inquired in what
form any immediate aid that Canada
might give would be most effective,
we have no hesitation in answering,
after a prolonged consideration of all
the circumstances, that it is desir-
able that such aid should include the
provision of a certain number of the
largest and strongest ships of war
which science can build or money
supply.'
Fur months this proposal was
fought by the Opposition in Par-
liament with desperate and vindictive
energy. The House was forced to sit
day and night in order that thei Gov-
ernment aright make headway. At
last even closure had to be introduced
before the measure could be sent on
to the Senate, There an angry and
irresponsible partisan majority in con-
tempt of public opinion rejected the
proposals. In face of these facts The
Expositor's suggestion that Sir Rob-
ert: Borden should have wasted anoth-
er session in a futile endeavor to
carry a proposal which he knew would
again be defeated by the partisan
majority in the Senate is too absurd
for serious consideration.--[ Toronto
News.
Sad and unexpected was the news
when it bedame known that Mr.
George Quinn, one of the early settlers

on Monday morning while assisting in

feet to the ground floor, rendering him
unconscious and at five p. m, the same
evening his spirit took its flight.

great value in an organizer, he had

td. {Toronto Nein.
Borden Saw an Emergency
During the present troublous
times the Advance does not pur-
pose discussing polities to any
great extent, however, we would
like to know if the Laurier party
and the Toronto Globe will now
admit theta is an 'emergency'.
Even when the British Admiralty
advised Canada that the best as-
sistance she could give were three
modern battleships, the Liberal
Party in the House of Coronions
said there was no emergency. Sir
Robert Borden seemed to peer into
the future with almost prophetic
vision. The following is a clipp-
ing from the Globe and without
further comment we publish por-
tions of speeches delivered by Sir
Robert Borden during the past four
years which will answer the editor-
ial in the Globe full well.
"A BOLT FROM THE BLUE"
Every days events make it plain and
plainer than the Toronto preacher
spoke the mind not of himeelf alone
and of church people and civilians, but
also the honest mind of the Govern-
ment and the defence authorities at
Ottawa : —"The first flash of war came
as a bolt from the bine." • The preach•
er spoke out frankly his real thought.
To be sure, "smart Alecke" and the
irreeponsibles now say "I told you so."
But Sir Robert Borden does not say
that, The Minister of Finance does
not say it. The Minister of ltrarine
does not say it, The Minister of
Militia and Defence does not say it.—
Toronto Globe, August 7th, 1914.
The day might eome—I do not
know that it will come—the day
might come ; it might come to -mor-
row, it might come next week, it
might come next month, when the
only thing we could do in the ab-
sence of preparation in this country
would be to make some kind of
contribution.—Sir Robert Borden
in the House of Commons, March
29th, 1909.
The speediest organization would

vice effective in less than ten years..
Probably 10 or 20 years would be
required ; and the crisis, if a crisis
is to be apprehended, will come
within five and probably within
three years.—Sir Robert Borden,
in the House of Commons, January
12th, 1910.
This Empire will never under-
take any war of aggression,, and all
the influences of Canada will as-
suredly be arrayed against any
such course ; but we know that
war has come many times within
the past fifty years without warn-
ing, like a thunderbolt from a clear
sky, and thereby the power, the
influence, and the destiny of more
than one nation have been pro-
foundly affected. A naval war,
especially, may come with startling
suddenness, fqr these tremendous
engines of war are always ready
and prepared for battle. --Sir Rob-
ert Borden, in the House of Com-
mons, Deo. 5th, 1912.
But to -day, while the clouds are
heavy and we hear the booming of
the distant thunder, and see the
lightning flashes above the horizon,
we cannot and we will not wait and
deliberate until any impendingetorm
shall have burs t upon us infury
and with disaster. Almost unaid-
ed, the Mother Land, not for her-
self alone, but for us as well, is
sustaining the burden of a vital
Imperial duty, and confronting an
overmastering necessity of national
existence. Bringing the best as-
sistance that we may in the urgency
of the moment, we come thus to
her aid, in token of our determina-
tion to protect and ensure the safe-
ty and integrity of this Empire, and
of our resolve to defend on sea, as
well as on land, our flag, our hon-
or and our heritage. Sir Robert
Borden, in the House of Commons,
Dec. 5th, 1912.
Regulate the Political Doctors.
"Paternalism is the 'watchword !
Regulate everything and everybody !
"Very well 1 While we are about it,
let's regulate the doctors. The medi-
cal profession has never baen notice•
ably coy or diffident about trying to
control everybody in sight, always
basing its pleas on the pharisaical
argument—'pro bono publico'. If the
common people are to be examined,
diagnosed, quarantined, isolated,
drugged, dosed, treated, vaccinated,
serum-ized, and cut up, by men who
claim to be competent, it might not
be considered unreasonable for the
regulator toehow his credentials.
"As a starter, how would it do to
pass a•Iaw compelling registered physis
Mane to be re-examined every five
years? What a row that would make!
How t he medical journals would froth
"Nevertheless, there are reasons
enough for the bill. Medical theories
and practice are changing, not every
five years, but every five days. Cures
for cancer, treatment for tuberculosie,
new serums and vaccines are announc-
ed by the profession today, only to be
recalled or denounced tomorrow. If
the doctors ineist on their rights to
control us, are we too audacious when
weask them to furnish evidence that
they are familiar with the up -to date
medical hallucinations, and that they
know enough to regulate us accord-
ing to the latest guess?
"If that isn't enough, leet's try a law
requiring physicians to write their
prescriptions in plain English, instead
of the customary hog -Latin. That
might reduce the death rate consider-
ably, besides making it easier for the
drug clerk to distinguish between an
of der for epsoiu salts and a call for
parts green. It would also give the
patient e. pretty fair idea as to just
bow thoroughly he wee be ing done!”

Water Supply is all Important
The importance of pure water supply
upon the farm or in the smaller centres
of population cannot be over-estimated
Where, on the farm, a well can be dug
sufficiently distant from any danger cf
pollution and in a location sufficiently
high to overcome the possibility of sur-
face water entering, this style of well
is to be preferred to the drilled well.
The occurance of such favorable con-
ditions, however, is so unusual as to
necessiatate the almost general use of
drilled wells. The latter, as a rude, are
more easily put down, and can be carri-
ed much deeper. They are -cased with
piping, and a safe joint made at the
top with the pump, or in the case of a
flowing well, with a faucet. This lin-
ing of the drilled well precludes the
entering of any pollution, and, extend-
ing as it does for a considerable height
above the surface, avoids any danger
from surface water. • s
On the farm of Mr. Jos, Boisvert at
Ginny. Alberta, an artesian. well has
recently been struck at a depth of fifty
feet. Mr. Boisvert stated that he drill-
ed the well with a le inch pipe, and,
with a f inch faucet attached, he has
secured sufficent pressure to send a
stream twenty feet into the ale. He
also states there are quite a number of
these flowing wells in his district.

A Good Industry,
The flax industry as conducted by
Tipling and Mills Is a great boon to
Wingham. Several hundreds of acres
of flax have been grown here .which
has kept Indians as well as whites
busy garnering same. The flax mill
here will employ a good number of
hands throughout the Fall and Winter
Flax has been a good crop this year
and this territory is said to be the
beat in Ontario for graving same.
A Fine Lead
The Cowan Company of Toronto,
manufacturers of cocoa and chocolate
have shown an excellent example in
presenting the Government with seas
eral thousand pounds of their products
for use in the militia and naval depart-
ments, by announcing that they are
not advancing prices to the public, an d
by further declaring that none of their
employees are to be dismissed th'p yt ar
on account of the war. This•course of
action displays courage and patriotism.
It prevents unemployment, and makes
for financial stability in a time of trial.
If the heade of all industries were to
follow the lead of the0owans the hand
of the Government would be greatly
strengthened and the task of helping
to fight the battle of deilrocracy mat-
erially facilitated.

"The Best Face
Cream 1 Ever
Used"
is what one of our lady custgmers
toile us about
Rexall Face Cream
Knowing what it is made of, we
were certain it would be hard to
improve on,
We hardly expected that a quar-
ter package like Rexall would win
favor over other high priced liners
but it has.
Believing it the best article and
best value we have we like to re-
commend it to you.
Let us show it to you and tell you
about it-.-Rexall—that's the name.
