For paying five per cent. for this money, and giving the lenders the right to convert the loan into long term bonds, Hon. Mr. White, has been criticised pretty sharply, and his political friends have rallied to his defence. Some New-York bankers have been quoted as saying that the loan was a good one and that nothing better could have been accomplished by anyone under the circumstances. The Premier of Nova Scotia fol- lows with an example of what can be tone in an unpretentious way. He has floated in the New York market a loan of a million dollars at 3.90 per cent. and he has not been boom- ed as the greatest financier on earth. Hon, Mr. Murray's act is worth noting, | however, and Hon. Mr. Fielding, who was for many years Premier of Nova Scotia, and later Finance Minister for Canada, is moy- ed to remark: "Nova Scotia has for a great many years had an en- viable reputation in the financial world, = We believe it can be estab- lished at the cheapest money ever borrowed by any Colonial Govern- ment, not excepting the Federal Gov- ernment at Ottawa, was a temporagy loan obtained by the Nova Seotia Government in London some years ago." WESTERN BATTLE FIELD, Last week it was announced that the whole of the Second Contingent was- then, or would soon be, in France, and Canada had reason from that circumstance and others.to mea- sure anew the significance of the war in which Britain is engaged. In that Second Contingeft were the. 21st Regiment, which spent last winter in Kingston, and Queen's En- gineers, which took part of their training in Ottawa, and, crossing the ocean with the 21st Regiment, com- pleted it in Shorncliffe and Otterville, respectively. Only recently the Minister of War' and the King inspected the troops, and pronounced them fit for any ser- vice, One of the Kingston men, re- ferring to this inspection by the King, intimated that it was the usual prelude to active service, and that it would not be long until the Seec- ond Contingent, following the exam- ple of the First,. would be in deadly conflict with the Germans. The experience of the year has given the Allies the advantage of ample pre- paration and the skill and equip- ment which means so much in a con- ' flict with the Huns. There must be the British have always exercise, but they will not equal those of the Fikst Dgtuingent. Witness the decima- of the Princess Patriciag, that | * splendid regiment, which met" the Huns in their earlier onslaughts, so that out of many hundreds there Were, until "recently supplemented but thirteen.

Dentists have tried to get at the causes of this early rotting of! the teeth and can only explain that it has to do with thg food one eats, the sweetmeats that are consumed, and to the neglect of the average | boy or girl to cleanse the teeth regu- larly.

The plan is that the parents should act, upon the re- port of the dentists who make periodical inspections free, and upon the reports of the nurse, They fail to act in many cases. Th#&' second general dental inspection will take piace this month, and it will then be for the School Board to consuit with regard to it and. determine what should be done under the cir cumstances The children cannot be neglected even by their parents. The teeth, as well as the sight, and hearing, and health, must be preserved, and if the voluntary system is not acted upon, there must be the compulsory system through which, at the pub- lic expense, a dental clynic will be established in connection with the in them. EDITORIAL NOTES. " The black-boards in several of the public schodls are so high "that pu- pils cannot reach them except by standing on chairs and stools." How long is this inconvenience going to be suffered?

Their first act should be to construct a new name and credit by making restitu- tion of the money they have improp- erly acquired through the parliamen- tary building contract. The working classes in Britain are not disposed to labor over time in or- der to produce munitions without stint. According to Lloyd-George, it is a war between cs, not a war between armies. Wi t ar- maments and munitions the armies will be simply helpless. And only 15 per cent. of the plants in Britain are working over time.

The Round Table. . While so many are fighting in the trenches and can no longer aid in producing what is required, it be- hoves all of us who are left behind to work doubly hard for the nation's sake. There are many millions of patriotic souls in this country who la- ment keenly that they can do so lit- tle to help those who are offering their lives to their country, but Something they can all do. Let them work their best every hour of the day, and let them impose on them- selves some real daily act of abstin-| ence, If every man who smoked tobacco in this country were told that, by everyone smoking for-a.year, we could afford to buy, in order to aid our cause, £8,000 000 more of guns and shells than we otherwise could, how many would refuse? Yet that is the truth, and it is true not only of tobacco, but of every other luxury we import, If every man, woman, and child saved only 1s, a week, it would amount to £120,000,000 a year. : see | | abstaining from| Kingston's Cash and One Price Clothing House See Our New Fall Over- coats $15.00 The nobby Balmacaan, in new Scotgh Cheviots;; the genteel Ches- terfields, in Vieunas, Cheviots. and Worsteds.
