It is doubtful it there is silty, class of trade, that has donated so openlyr of its stock -in -trade as the newspapers. The tidy' thing they have to sell is the white, space in their paper, and, almost every day, is a ,certainamount of this given' to Patriotic and, Red Cross pnrpos-se ab- solutely solirtely free.

The alcove is copied irons the Ki;t- chehiet Daily Telegraph, which strong- ly. supported. the British League in the name -changing campaign. The ag- itation for a change from a Prussian to a British Dame was for the most part caused by business interests but now that the change has been made it would be a calamity, to have ' the old name restored. This is after all a British country and Ontario is the most British province in it, Those op- posing the change from a Prussian to a British name for their city should reflect that if the case were reversed such opposers would be given short shift in Berlin, Germany. The scheme, which the council will in all probability undertake, is a gi gautic one, will entail a heavy expen- clitiire, well expended, and the making of some of the hest roads in Ontar- io, affecting all of the principal thot- oughfares in Kent.—Ridgetnwn Dom- inion.

"Some women, whose husbands are at the front, have more money than. when they, are at Moine. So say unthinking persons when asked to give liberally, to the Cana- dian Patriotic Fund, The answer should come straight and quickly :—"Wliy shouldn't women wino are giving their husbands' to the country be as well off, or better oil? They are struggling along, probably with large families of children, and anxiety about the fate of their hus- bands gnawing at their hearts every hour of the day. Auy moment may conte- tidings that the bread vv inner is gone forever, Are we to reward these women with the ,snhallest pit- tance that will keep body and soul together ?" it is, in business itihairs, an accept- ed rule that the snore hazardous the work the higher the pay. A. few weeks ago the men working on the. Ouebee Bridge demanded and got a large increase in wages because of the risk involved in placing the centre span in position. The, result showed that the risk was a real one. How much mere certain are the risks of this great war 7 Every casualty list carries its burden of sorrow into ('anadiau homes. And yet we pay these heroes wino are fighting and dy- ing for us far less than the great maioritp of thorn would be earning if still in civil life. Are we going to stint the wives, while at the same time we . shelter ourselves behind the men whom these wives have sent to the front Look at the subject from .another point of view. Even if these womeh do not mourn 'their husbands dead, how many 'of them will find the home - returning soldiers are financial liabil- ities' rather financial assets ? Go to Quebec or Halifax when a ship comes in laden. with our .brave lads, matin - ed and, battered. Look at these path- etic figures, and then pictture the work that lies before the mothers and wives who with loving hearts and tireless' hands will have to care for these poorfellows till -death do then part.
