To be or not to be----that is the painful problem imposed on the conscience on the great European nations. We are seeking entire restitution of our invaded provinces and those seized forty-six years ago, for repara- tion for the violation of rights at the expense of France or her Allies, and for the guarantees necessary for a definite safeguard of our national independence."--President Poincare on the National Festival Day. There is a great rush about the refining of nickel in Canada. Evi- dently the nickel question has been arousing the people. It has not been the greater issue, as the Toronto World would have it, but it has béen a great one, thanks to the ginger Mr. Maclean has put into his campaign upon the subject. i lel Add A WORD OF WARNING. The Whig, realizing the dangers of the disease, and the fatal nature of it, gladly acts upon the suggestion of Dr.MeCullough, of the Health Depart- ment of Ontario, and givea warning with regard to infantile paralysis. It hag been largely confined to chil- dren of from two to fourteen years. Its cause is not unknown, Dr. McCul- lough intimates, as the specialists of New York have. certainly found the germ and submitted it to artifi- cial culture. Parents are advised to be watchful of their children, to note the symptoms of the disease, the headache, the rise of tempera- ture, and the vomiting, which are its characteristics, and to at once quar- antine the patient and call in the medical attendant. All materials car- rylng secretions and discharges from the nose and mouth should be burn- ed, boiled, or disinfected. The fulls er description of the disease in Mon- day's Whig will be remembered, and it can be re-read with very great ad- vantage, The American propose to harness up another two million horse power at Nigara and at a cost of $100,000,- 000. Anticipating the big push in On- tario, and on the part of the Hydro Commission? Perhaps. Though we haye not heard much about Sir Adam Beck and his plans of late. The Am- erican scheme, in its immensity, may wake up the seven sleepers of On- tario. * " THE TORTURES OF HELL, Britain has been moved, in in- dignation, over the ill-treatment of 4,000 British prisoners at Ruhleben, Germany. Starved and shamefully treated, these men, or at least a great many of them, have lost their mental and moral poise, and are in a deplorable condition. Reprisal is suggested in England, where 26,000 German civilians have been interned and eared for. A swap of prisoners, and to an equal number, has been suggested, without result so far, ne day there will be a terrible reckoning. for dll this.

The Jews have & great meeting in New York to-day and for the pur- pose of taking action with regard to the problems that grow out of the war. In Russig and German Poland their countrymen are suffering great hardships. From dauses that are hard to define they are the victims of oppression and wrong, the suffer ers from a tyranny that is incom- patible with the crudest ideas. of modern civilization. 'Their country, or the country that has been so largely occupied by tlem---they can- not say of any place "This is my own, my native, land""--has been devas- tated by invading armies. Even in times of peace they have been cruel- ly treated. The plaints against both German and Russian aggression have been touching in the extreme. It is true that promises have been made of great reforms--after the war. It remains to be seen what the Jews of America, in their wealth and conse- crated energy, can do to help on the realization of their dreams. No more notable event has been held in Canada than this fore-gathering of the Jews with minds bent on the greatest issue of the times, the sal- vation of their race in Europe. EDITORIAL NOTES. Another German calculation has failed. Verdun was to be in the cording to the pre-determined plans of the general staff. "With the force of hammer blows" the assault has been destructive of life and fortifications, but the end is far Will it be ever reached? "if prohibitionists," says the To- ronto News, "are determined to de- feat the Hearst Government, there is) hardly a doubt that the restoration of the license system will follow its defeat." Is this a threat? The Libe- rals are not voting against prohibi- tion when they support Mr. Rowell, who is, par excellence, the prohibi- tionist of Ontario. The Hamilton Spectator does not grow feeble with old age. On the contrary it seems to have found the elixir of life, and, on its eightieth birthday, showed wonderful vim and energy. A good newspaper, like good wine, appears to improve with the years. May the Spectator's power never grow less. The Mail frankly remarks that "if any nickel is exported from the Un- ited States to Germany there ha# been remissness on the part of this country." "This government," is meant, and this government is the one of which Hon. Mr. Hearst is the head. It has been guilty of un- pardonable delay in dealing with this question, Four hundred Hun companies are still doing business in London, Eng- land. They are selling goods that are of German manufacture, and banking the funds in England for transmission to Germany later on. Strangest of all the London Board of Trade . endorses this Hun business. It admits that it has been doing busi- ness with the Hun, and this is an intolerable condition of things. | PUBLIC OPINION | Must Be Careful, (Ottawa Free Press) Premier Hearst ought to be very careful that none of the rest of his supporters resign, or die, or move out of the province, Berlin's Victories, (Hamilton Spectator) Berlin says Germany's recent '"vie- tories" are very important, and if Berlin is satisfied then everybody in the world ought to be happy. | Who Made The Noise, (Ottawa Free Press) Since all the regimental command- ers at Camp Borden have denied that their men were rioters, we must con- clude that it was all dome by Sir Sam's staff, Debt Is Mounting.

German Baker Mixed Ants and Bugs ' in Cakes, London, July 18.--The Berlin Vorwaerts says:--The unscrupulous manner in which the preparation of various articles of food is being car- ried on has again been strikingly ex- elnplified in Leipzig. A master baker, C. A. Rabitz, the owner of one of the foremost fash- ionable establishments in Leipzig, has been found guilty of the most shameless transgression of all exist ing laws and regulations. His worst practice of all was to bake live mag zots in his cakes. On an assistant showing him that the dough was full of these vermin, Rabitz contented himself with cover- ing them up beneath a layer of dough. "No need to remove the maggots," he observed, 'people will eat the cakes all the same" The maggot paste was thereupon duly baked into cakes. Rabitz had also prepared another kind of confection, styled "dessert cake," from ground wood and potato flour, in which quantities of ants and even bugs were present. This infamous speciment of the baker tribe received five months' im- prisonment, besides being condemned to pay a fine of £31. of the positions gaified in the hands of the French, when they did not al-|{}i together fail we have been able in both our main attacks to hold practi- cally every point taken. This re- quires very careful organization and the placing of strict limits on the objective of eager troops when the at- tack is against strongly fortified fron- tal positions and the enemy falls back on prepared trenches and strong points, and is waiting material while you must prepare new positions and bring forward your material. 3 'Our casualties in the operations thus far have been less than we an- ticipated, and the results beyond our expectations. The new army has had its final supreme lesson in train- ing, that of battle. Not one in ten officers or one in twenty of the men had had any military experience be fore the war. Of their courage we had no doubt. Now we are assured of their efficiency, and we look to the future of these operations with the utmost confidence." Suits shirts, and neat stripes. COST OF LIVING UP. Wholesale Prices Remain About the Same. Ottawa, July 18.--The cost of liv- ing is still going up. In sixty Can- adian cities in June the cost of a budget of staple food averaged $851, as compared with $837 in May, the increases being especially in meats, eggs, sugar and beans. Whele- sale prices remained about the same, The figures are set forth in a Labor Department report to-day. The re- cord of trade disputes has been less favorable. Hamilton, with three strikes on its hand, is the principal centre of trouble, other strikes be- ing comparatively unimportant. LIBERAL PRESS. wear. -- What the Country Wants. Ottawa Free Press. The people of Canada, Conserva- tives and Liberals alike, are not car- ing about what Sir Sam Hughes does to the Conservative party in the rext election, as long as he directs Canada's part in the war properly. The great majority of Canadian vot- ers don't give a hoot whether Sir Sam Hughes is a source of strength or weakness to Sir Robert Borden's government as far as its chances of returning to power are concerned.

If high society and a tobac- co heart are one and inseparable, it might be possible to wiggle along without either. Topacco should be used as a solace, at the rate of a mild cigar or two a day. At that rate a man will smoke up a private fortune in his lifetime, but he will not have to retire at fifty with whistling heart valves and an appetite which has to be coaxed along with dill pickles and other delica- cles. 7 TOBACCO. - Tobacco is a fragrant weed by which man is converted into a human smokestack. Some men are more successful in this line than others, and smoke faster than an aged cook- stove with open pores, while others will toy with a cigar for hours at a time, and then lock it in the safe for future reference. Tobacco was discovered by the eminent English nobleman, Sir Wal- ter Raleigh, soon after he landed in Virginia. Sir Walter was a pure man when he came to America, but on making the acquaintance of the pure Havana filler, then extensively grown in Virginia, he became addict- ed to the corn-cob pipe habit and fell off rapidly in weight and public es- teem. On returning to England Sir Walter took some tobacco with him and introduced it among the nobility, who learned to smoke through their noses and ears with a genteel air. Tobacco is quite often used in the manufacture of cigars, althoughgbase imitations formed of the humble cab- bage leaf are occasionally foisted upon a helpless public, The lowest and most reprehensible form of to- bacco is the campaign cigar, which draws harder than a six-year-old Phone 815 Ribbit Three Sizes No-mo-odo Rippling Rhymes | "wr, Ruvia / ry four quarts of whiskey, as provid ed by the.
