The strike of the people, and especi- ally of the working classes, against the current cost of meat, may cause a temporary perturbation of busines, but it will not amount to much. It will not bring about any radical or sustained change in the prices of food. What is making everything so dear cannot be determined accurately. The government of the United States has a commission which is enquiring into the subject, while the state department, egged on by the president, is after the trusts. In Ontario, the provincial pre- mier eases his mind by putting into the lieutenant-governor's address a i The minister of agriculture gave isome startling testimony when he said | | that on one occasion he came into | {contact, at the hotel of a progressive | leity, with the gamblers at's race 'meeting, and he would not have liked | to meet them in the dark.

The year brings with it more than the usual cares. The mayor, who in- stalled the new members of the board, | and offered his best wishes, intimated that he anticipated heavier demands for revenue in the interests of the schools, and he had scarcely taken his departure when some of these demands "were heard of, in the call for reports upon more accommodation and the sanitary condition of cer- tain schools,. The city and its board of health cen have all they desire in the way of civic improvements, but the city will have to do two things, and on them depends the success its sanitary by-laws. of It will have to! sce that the drainage system is com- plete, and it will have to provide for whatever new work the situation may suggest. The board will ask the Education Department to restore to the School Act the option clause by which it may proceed to business cach year immediately after the council has solected its representatives. This op- tion permitted the inaugural meeifing about the naddle of January; and a session at this early date was a very great advantage. The department will probably act upon the request of the board as the omission of the clause referred to from the law seems to have been an inadvertance. the money « COLONIAL NAVY YARDS, Watson Griffin's idea, as expressed jn the Canadian Century, is that the future of Britain depends upon her navy, and that it should be maintain- ed by navy yards operated in Eng: land, Canada and Australia. In this 1 and in it only, can 'the fleets be pt, up so that they may meet any | new contingency. | The: experience of the United States Hand Spain is not forgotten. These na- tions were fairly matched, so far as tonnage is concerned, but the Spanish ships of war were outclassed, and they had but little show against the newer type of battleship. This recalls the remark of the first lord of the ad- miralty, recently, that it will not be ong until the British fleet will have i to be rebuilt or replaced, the Dread: nought' having 'put all the ralt: pre. viously built practically out of ser fought, or 'disposed of. 'oped by science has brought all clause to the effect that the probing process, so far as the cost of living is lconcerned, lies with the federal govern- ment, The current idea appegre to be that ithere is something amiss somewhere, that some untoward agencies are st work against the people aud the peo- ple's interest, and that it resisted, or amended, Some think there is of food. Others arons Still others feel that the tariff has to datwith the soaring prices, and demand a revision of it. The Ameri- can merchants argue that the duty is keeping out of the market the Cana- dian beef, and that the door for traf- fic being opened Mr. Hill, of railway fame, and Mr. Walker, the retired banker, say the people are blame. They are de- | 'serting the crowding into the | city, and becoming very ..ettravagant | in their habits. a scarcity hold that the meat' screws, to soil, The law of supply and demand pro-! bably regulates the situation. If the goods were abundant, and the market glutted, the prices would be low en- | ough. There is no use in scolding the farmer hecanse he wants all he can get | for his erops. He is looking after | himself. He has .only a limited sup- ply. It has cost him more to produce it, and he is up against inflated ideas and charges everywhere. The Weekly Sun, the farmers' paper par excellence, reaches this conclusion : "The machinery of commerce Gove] the farmers of the world into direct com- petition. The ships which have been carrying out manufactured products have been bringing back food for the city workers, thus depriving the home farmer of some of the advantage of prosperity. If the condition of high prices is going to endure as some think, it means that the balance has at last turned in favor of the farmer and that in mere natural response to the law of rewards the tide will set in from the city to the farm." Students of economics have noticed the trend of events and written about them: They point to the fact that the cities and towns are being crowded, and that the growing population is not producing food. This tendency will increase and with results which are evident in the poverty and distress of the day. What is more, an emin- lent economist, the one who predicted the depression of 1907, now says that in 1912 or 1913 a crisis will occur, one ea. He' is a Joseph who is reading the signs of the times, and the pity is that there is not a Pharogh who has the power to anticipate the lean years and to make atple provision for them.

Evidence From All Sources Supports § Its Claim. | There are so many so-called "'reme dig for piles that sufferers are often A loss what to try. Piles are caus- - by distension of the hemorrhoid veins, and the tissue becomes highly inflamed, dry and sore. Zam Buk cools and soothes the inflamed tissue and [the healing essences in Zam-Buk pene- {trate the diseased parts, giving ease quickly and eventually curing the {most obstinate case of piles, George Says : Harris, of Virden, 'Man. "1 sufiered acutely from piles, be dome to correct the cost of living. {but I am glad to say Zam-Buk gave 'me ease and brought about ultimate cure." Mrs. 8. Cooke, des Pacific avenue, | Winnipeg, says: "A month ago 1 was {eured by Zam Buk of a bad attack sof bleeding piles, to waich 1 had been subject for a long time,' William Kenty, of Upper Nine Mile River, Hants county, NB, says: "I suffered terribly from piles. The pain from these was at times almost un- bearable. 1 tried various pintments, but everything failed to do me the good. 1 was tired of trymg remedies, when 1 heard of thought, as a last re- source, I would give this balm a trial. I procured a supply and commenced with the treatment. In a very short time Zam-Buk effected what all the other ointments and medicines had failed to do--a complete cure." Wherever there is inflammation or ulceration, there Zam-Buk should be applied. It heals ulcers, abscesses, fes- tering sores, cold cracks, scalp sores, cuts, burns, sealds, bruises and all ir- inflamed or diseased condi- tions of the skin and subjacent tissue. {All druggists and stores, Hc. a box, tor post free from Zam-Buk Cd., Te- ironto, for price.
