Belgium is being used as a milch cow for Germany. Germany is col- whoglecting from the impoverished Bel- gians 480,000,000 francs a year, or about $96,000,000. She leaves the Belgians to utter starvation Serious Question. (St. Thomas Times.)

Beer And Whiskey. (Ottawa Citizen.) Judge Clark, chairman of the Can- adian Royal Commission of 1894 said that nearly all the doctors of whom he asked the question said that beer was worse for the health than whiskey. This may surprise most people, but the evidence seems to be reliable.

So the Legislature passed might not have been in the fight to-| an Act under which the Government | { day, and certainly all the other Bal-| * appointed a Commission to manage | po States would have been either | A APA Pl Al AANA ~~ the separate sghools. This Commis- | sion ousted the school trustees who | were elected by the people and pro-| ceeded to run the schools and use| the money which had been paid by the people through the old School Board. The action has two objects, (1) the restrain the Commission from usurp-| ing the powers which the school trus- tees exercised, and (2) to restrain them from using the money which the separate school supporters had paid in taxes. The decision of tha Court cannot be anticipated, but this is quite evident--that a decision against the school trustees will not be accepted as satisfactory and that the ruling of the highest Court will] be sought. The issue is the right of any Gov- ernment to supplant. the trustees who have been elected by the people, and to usurp their powers and pro- gatives. The Assize Court will pro- bably rule that the Commission is competent under the law. It will be for the Privy Council to determine later whether the Legislature was competent to pass this law. GETTING THE PROOF. Ht was a happy thought of those} who suggested that the industrial | classes of Britain should be repres- | ented in an inspection of the war| zone, and the equipment of the Al-| les for the work of the hour. A party | of munition workers visited France| and in presenting a report to the! workers at home made precise men- tion of two things: (1) Their disap- proval of the efforts of certain men and newspapers to depreciate the forces at the front, and (2) the need of war shells and in particular of more explosive shells. "The war," said the report, "has become a war of munitions. The enemy's trenches ' are 0 deep and his barbed wire en- tanglements and other defences are 50 enormously strong that the shell fire to destroy them must not only be great, but overwhelming. The supply of shells must therefore be unlimited." With regard to the Ger- mans this delegation of workmen learned that their expenditure of shells was oat of all proportion to the expenditure of the Allies, The German supplies seemed to be enor: mous. "Finally," said the delegation of workmen, "we returned from our tour with a single desire, to do all in 'our power to maintain and increase the supplied on which the success of , the Allies depends, and without 'which all they have given, and must give, will be in vain." It is a great Pity that this view of the British workmen could not be impressed up- on all who are deeply interested in this Titantic struggle. It has taken a mighty effort to convince the British People of {he magnitude of the cam- paign, and of the needs of it, and it is a great pity that this view could not be obtained sooner and could not be shared in by the Canadians as well as British people. There are in Canada a great many who are still deceived with regard to the situa- tion; or, rather, they will not accept 'of thé representations which picture the needs of the hour as very great and very urgent. If fhe young men of Canada, and ' | of public | so many conflicting opinions | the subject that one hesitates what | {and whom to, believe, and still the | | He is suffering, | would destroy the identity of Mani- with the Allies or in a position of assured neutrality. i Lastly, the finances of Britain are! said to be engrossing the attention men. There have been | upon Premier is a man of authority and | must have satisfied himself with re- | gard to the statement he has made: | He, above all men, cannot afford to| indulge in speculative observations, | The Empire that is pouring out its| treasure at the rate of $25,000,000 a day, on its own account, and many millions more on a®count of the Al- lies, cannot stand the drain indefi- nitely. The question is, Has the limit been nearly reached? EDITORIAL NOTES. The next session of Parliament, as things are going, will be a lively one. It is hard to keep the political truce these days. A terrible sthain is being put upon it. Mr. Bryan does not desire any pity for his political mistakes. And he is not getting very much or any of it. He has turned all his political adventures or misad- ventures to financial account. The Toronto News says free wheat toba's "No. 1 Hard,"--the best in the world. The value to the pro- ducer is its price, and it has been suffering this year for want of a mar- ket. { = The Toronto News is not aware that a political truce exists. It does not know that opposition to Minis | ters has been withdrawn, and that ih bye-élections these Ministers have been returned by acclamation, Where has Sir Willison been rusti- cating? . Hon. Mr. Norris, the Premier of Manitoba, and a farmer, is referred to by the Toronto News as "a small ih man." He is a man with a mind of his own, and an opinion he is not afraid to expfess. * And he / repre- sents - the farmers and enjoys just now their entire confidence. -------------- Sir Sam Hughes says that he has the evidence which shows that inno- Cently or otherwise Mr. Westman, | M.P., was backing up a rascally per- formance in connection with the re- mounts at Regina, and Mr. Wes says Sir Sam has no evidence of t Kind, and that 'the has 'gone clean batty." : ---- S Gen. Sauberzweig has been reliev- ed of the Governorship of Brussels because of his connection with the death of Edith Cavell. There are to be no more executions, of women at least. But all this will not bring Miss Cavell back to life. Her mar tyrdom remains as an incident of na. tion-wide disturbance. ------ Lieut.-Col. Lavergne has been of- fered the command of a regiment which is to be raised in Montmaguny. This offer has been before him ford several days. His silence is sigui- ficant. Why does the Government truckle to him anyway? Is it still under obligation to the National- ists?

The next morning she got down and went to eat her breakfast but when she got back she was just in time to see a man carrying off her precious eggs. She walked along be- hind him and saw him put the eggs in something that looked like a wood en box with glass in front. The eggs lay in. rows in plain sight and Mrs. Hen sat down to watch them. There she sat all of that day and for many days after, watching to see her eggs were not moved again. She did not dare to stay very long when she went to get her breakfast and so grew very thin. One day she heard the men say: "What is the matter with that old hen. She hangs around this incubator all the time." Mrs. Hen had never heard of an incubator but she knew that the man was talking about the wooden box that held her eggs so she watched closer than' ever.- One morning, as she sat watching, she heard a little noise that sounded very much like a faint: "peep, peep," and she looked closely into the window. Sure en- ough, there was a little chicken look- ing out at her and saying: 'Peep, peep." As she looked, another and anoth- er chicken hopped out of its shell and soon twelve chicks were n ing out at her from behind the dow. She flew at the glass and tried to get to them, and perhaps she would have succeeded if a man had not come up just then and stopped her. Mrs. Hen heard him say: "I de- clare, I believe the old hen knew her own chickens. I think I will give them to her and let her care for them now." So Mrs. Hen got back her chickens and she took such good | care of them that they grew to be the largest chickens on the farm. "Low Cost of Menu for Thursday BREAKFAST Stewed Prunes Hash Dough i.

To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retir- ing; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this to-night, and by mornings most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone,.and three or four more ap- plications will completely. dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any jdrug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work.
