It was great in several respects. The attendance attendance was great--some days were record ones in spite of war conditions or smaller crops. Ontario has given some millions of dollars to war funds and to help those in need in this and other lands. But, financially considered, considered, who would ever think that Canada is at war and thousands of her sons daily being killed. There is no apparent scarcity of money. The Dominion Government is floating another another $100,000,000 war loan and people people are tumbling over each other , to subscribe to it. Sir Thomas White, Minister of Finance, says that Canadians Canadians should save. They should e^çjiew luxuries at such a time as this. Even under conditions stated the advice is timely. To note the way our Canadian people are living | you would suppose that never in the history of the country was there a more prodigal period.

We naturally supposed j that the excitement and strain would | exert an evil effect on weak and ill- ; ; balanced minds, Now, after two j | years of war, an eminent specialist I i in the North of Ireland has come to ' i the conclusion that the war has done ; much to control the mentally un- j stable, for "the fact is indisputable," j he says, "that insanity, like crime, 1 has lessened." It might be answered j that the decrease in the number of j admissions is probably due to the vast j number of men called to the colors, i But that explanation will not do, be- ! cause the greatest reduction is among [ women, of whom 154 were admitted in 1914 and only 119 in 1905. He attributes attributes this phenomenon to the wholesome wholesome influence of a common interest in something of importance: "Idleness "Idleness and ennui have lost their hold ; healthy and unselfish activity is now the prevailing fashion.
