, Only those who have bean attacked t
with neuralgia can form the fainteit b
idea of what itS victim e suffer. A
tingling of the tender skin, a sharp
eudden stab from some angry nerve;
then piereing paroxysms of pain—that
is neuralgia. The cause cif the treatble
is disordered nerves, due to weak,
watery bleed. The cure, is Dr. Wil -
Barns' Pink Pilia, which make new,
riela • red blood, and thus sooth and
strengthen the disordered nerves and
cure neuralgia. Mr. Lonis
Mildmey, 04., says :—"I am writing
to let you know the great benefit Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills have been to me.

I sent, for a brother who was in
Alberta .to come and take charge of
the work. When my brother arrived
he at once urged me to try Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills, telling me of some
cures that had conic under bis obser-
vation. I got half a dozen boxes, and
before they were all gone there was
no doubt.they were helping me. Alto-

and by that time I was a well man,

thankful I was for my release from

"I was workin' for Wilder at the

WAR COSTS RUN UP.
,
Nine Thousand Million Pounds Per
Annum for Britain.
Nine thousand million pounds a
year! In exact figufes 29,147,900,000,
more than 43 times as much as the
total annual revenue of the United
Kingdom. That is the total direct and
indirect cost of the war, estimated up
to July 31 next, says London Tid-
Bits. Of that amount our share will
be. £1,258,000,600, which covers the
direct expenditure of the Government,
the capitalized value of the loss of hu-
man life and the loss of production.
It is pointed out,however, by Edgar
Cranunond, a recognized authority on
war finance, that the accumulated
wealth and national incOrne of Great
Britain is on such a sound basis that
these have only been slightly affected
by the war. While Germany is utiliz-
ing all her means, only the fringe of
our resources in men, money, food-
stuffs and raw material has been
touched, in spite •of this estimated
vast expenditure to the end of July.
Our bill is leas than that of France,
Russia, Austria or Germany, the total
losis to Belgium, which includes £250,-
000,000—the value of property de-
stroyed—being 852,500,000. Gerinany
suffers most in pocket, and by the end
of July it will have expended 82,775,-
000,000. Germany's loss of production
will amount to at least 2675,000,000 in
the first 12 months of the war, while
she is spending 82,000,000 a day, or at
the rate of 2730,000,000 per annum, on
the upkeep of her army in the field.
France's bill for the maintenance of
her 3,000,000 men now available for
active service and the 1,000,000 in the
Reserve is very heavy. Mr. Cram -
mond puts it at 7s. 6d per man per
day—say 21,500,000 a. day, while vir-
tually the whole of the male pupula-
tion,between 19 and 50 has been with-
drawn from production, the total loss
of 'production amounts to 2625,000,000.
The total cost to France up to July
next is estimated. at 21,686,400,000 a
year, 2286,400,000 more than the total
cost to Russia.

TO REDUCE FIRE LOSS.
•
More Attention Should Be Paid to
Inspection.
"Locking the barn -door after the
horse has been stolen," is a time-
honored expression; but it applies
with peculiar emphasis to niany of
dur supposedly modern municipal gov-
ernments. Especially is this true in
the matter of the fire loss.
While enormous sums are spent an-
nually in the equipment and upkeep of
fire departments for the purpose of
controlling and extinguishing fires, it
is almost a novelty to find a munici-
pality with a department charged
with the inspection, and with author-
ity to enforce the correction, of condi-
tions favorable to fires. In some of
our larger cities some progress has
been made by the fire departments,
which hale set apart small details of
their staffs, charged with inspection
work. The result of their work is
minimized, however, by the fact that

spection and correction of dangerous
conditions'and, to make their work
effective, the inspectors should be
clothed with fire marshal authority, in
order that any five breaking out in
their inspection districts might be
thoroughly investigated and the cause
definitely assigned. In this way an
inspector's reputation for thorough-
ness would be at stake, and, with the
knowledge that a fire would be invese
tigated by one familiar with the con-
ditions, there would be fewer fires of
a suspicious character or due to care-
lessness.
Municipalities can well afford to
make generous appropriations for fire -
preventive inspection work. It is an
investment which will yield large re-
turns, not only in reduced fire loss
but in reduction in the cost of upkeep
of fire departments and equipment.

Steam Roller Cracks Eggs.
We have often heard of using a
steam hammer to crack a nut, but
who ever heard of using a steam roll-
er to crack an egg? Millions of bad
eggs intended for human consumption
are seized every year in London,
and the way they are deetroyed is to
tip them out of their cases and run
a steam roller over them.

VALUABLE NATIONAL ASSET.
--
Canada's Balluice on Fish Trade in
1914-15 About $17,000,000.
In view of the exceptional impor-
tance which at present attaches to a
favorable balance of trade, the unique
position of our fishing industry is
worthy of note. No other branch of
Canadian industry contributes to our
exports so large a proportion of its
total output as the fisheries. During
1914-1915, out of a production valued
at $31,000,000 in round numbers,
Canada exported fith products valued
at more than $19,000,000, or nearly 63
per cent. of the total. As we' imported
about $2,000,000 worth .of fish pro-
ducts, the net balance in our favor on
this branch of trade is about 317,000,-
000. The fisheries must, therefore, be.
regarded. as a valuable national asset.
But it is scarcely open to question
that the fishing industry would be in a
much 'stronger position, and the pros-
perity of those engaged in it more
solidly based, were' it rendered less
dependent upon foreign markets by
the, development of the domestic de-
mand to absorb a large portion of it
output.

The Aeroplane Gunner.
Most of the aeroplanes used in the
great war carry two persons, the pilot
end. the "gunner -observer," who sits
forward and spies out the land or
'handles the machine .gun. When an
aeroplane armed with a machine gun
attacks a hostile aeroplane, the pilot
at once manoeuvres the machine into
position so that his companioh can
bring his gun into action, In firing,
the gunner does not take deliberate
aim, but swings the gun up and down
end round so that a fen -shaped streem
of bullets shall be- sure to fill all the
space through which the opposing,
aeroplane has to travel. When both
aeroplanes arw armed with machine
guns, the most skillful pilot usually
e
wins the fight, al:hough luck often
plays a part in thremit.
