Don't forget in which pocket you put your registration certificate. The chances are you will be called upon to produce it for inspection, Truth is the logio of tha universe: it is the reasoning of Destiny; it is the mind of God. And nothing that you can devise or discover can take its place.--Dr. Frank Crane, General Foch is not making any boasts these days, which is a pretty good indication that he is doing something, "Talkers were never good doers," according to Shakespeare. Now it's the W.C.T.U. that is after the Senate for throwing out an amendment to the Criminal Code. The Senators would feel lonesome #f the critics remained quicscent for a day or so, The Canada Food Board warns that registration and food produc- tion are closely associated. And food rationing may be just around the corner. It is well that the people should remember these things, -------------- "The side with the nerves which will last longest will win," once de- clared von Hindenburg, Now that he is in a sanitarium suffering from ner- vous collapse, one wonders which side he thinks is winning out on the nerve basis, ; Queen's University has lost staunch friend in the death of its revered = chancellor, Dr. James 'Douglas, LL.D., of New York. He 'was one of the many graduates of Queen's who never: lost interest in his Alma Mater. ao oto i At the meeting of the 1.0.0.F. Grand Lodge in Hamilton last week, it was' announced that nearly 5,000 Oddfellows were sérving in ihe Can- adian army. They would indesd be odd fellows if not willing to fight for their country in her hour of danger. > The graduate nurses feel that they need mn in their profession and also that there should be a stan- dard for which all graduate nurses should qualify. Since the doctors are given every protection, why should not the nurses he similiarly treated? : . This is a movement in the right direction, and one that the farmers of Canada owght to appre- 'Ist. fter the' war.

Both have n splendid newspapers, progressi capably edited and per- forming a valuable service in the city and distriet. War conditions, however, have forced many papers to unite, If newsprint paper prices are advanced in Canada, as they hava re- cantly been in the United States, hun- dreds of other papers in the Domvin- fon will be forced out of business. Another notable gamation is en the St Thomas A PILLAR OF QUEEN'S. Queen's University did not have a single visit from the late Dr. James Douglas during his term as chancellor, but the venerable doctor was always in the closest touch with his 'Alma Mater, though he lived re- tired in the City of New York. He wag one of the bldest graduates of Queen's and her greatest benefactor. Designed for the ministry, through force of circumstances he drifted into another great calling--that of metallurgy and mining--and mot only amassed millions but became one of the world's greatest experts in these fields. Dr. Douglas used his wealth for the benefit of his fellowmen and his endowments in various universities will stand as a lasting memorial. He died full of years and greatly honored. RELIGIOUS TOLERATION. The ministers of Guelph are giv- ing a sad exhibition of ili-spent energy in continuing their clamour against the Novitiate situate In their town. At this critical stage in the world's history they should have something better to do than waste their time and energy pointing out what Is wrong with the other fellow. Introspection rather than criticism should be the motto of jevery one. Even supposing that the Novitiate had been unduly favor- ed, and it does not look as if such was the case, the Government, which has - been conducting wmffairs for the past six months in a manner that should inspire the confidence of all, was quite able to deal with the mat- ter without the frenzied assistance of the Guelph preachers. i To stir up religious prejudice at the present time should be a crime. Ag it is hardly possible to put such a jlaw jon the statute book, the ac- tions of the religious fir braid should be condemned hy all good men and women. oo to in pt ---------- BANK CREDIT FOR FARMERS it is frequently stated the banks are unwilling to lend money to farm- ev¥, the difficulty being due to the question of security. 'But there is no doubt about the fact that adequate provision is not made for rural cre- dits In our f..anecial system. A system of rural credit societies was started a year ago in the Pro: vince of Manitoba, hy which the bank, instead of lending money to the dudividual farmer, lends it to the soviety. Thus the neighbors practi. cally guarantee each other's notes, This Is supplemented by government supervision through an inspeatoy, who Is an expert, connected with the Department of Agriculture. At a meeting of the Frontenac Far- mers'. Co-operative Assochation last Tuesday night one speaker stated that thirty farmers could obtain a line of credit of only $1,500, and yet each one of them was worth in the neighborhood of $10,000. 1? the difficulty can be solved in Manitoba Way can it pot be solved in Ontirio? This is a matter which the farmers' associations should take up, THE NURSING PROBLEM. The nursing question has oecupied much attention of late through dis- cussions at the conventions of the Canadian Trained Nurses Association and the National Council of Women. The question at fssue js whether or to recognize 'the V.A'D's. as purses The V.AD. girls have been doing gen- eral work in'the military hospitals in Canada making beds, dusting and wheeling the convalescent soldiers about. Their work has been purely Voluntary. Now the St. John's Am- bulance Association wants the V.A. D's. paid and the Militia Department Proposes to give th 100 a year, 75 cents a day for and their uniform. 'Tt is also proposed to re. taln only a few nursing sisters (pro- fessfonal nurses) in a military hospi tal and appoint thirty or forty V.A. D's. to do general work under them. Their "place not the Militia Department is going! __THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1918.

The idea is to get young who otherwise would enter for V.A.D. work to enfer upen the regular course in civil hospitals, It appears that owing to the oppor- tunity afforded to do V.A.D. work in England hundreds of Canadian girls, who might have trained in hospitals at home, went overseas to sweep, make beds and cook in military hospitals, and the result is a scarcity of trained parses for both civil and military work in Canada, Anything that would tend to lower the standard of nursing should not be countenanced. - If a few nursing sisters with the assistance of V.A. D's. can look after the convalescent soldiers, all well and good, but for V.AD's. to pose as nurses and he recognized such without proper training is not to be permitted. The medical profession has only now after a long struggle succeeded in getting rid of quack doctors, and the people do not want quack nurses.

A, Thibault, a life tong re- sident of Hull, and what they have to say concermdng Tanlac will be of much interest to the people of their community. "1 had beén suffering," said Mrs. Thibault, 'from stomach trouble, nervousness and a ge run-down condition for over a year, and 1 just don't know what I would have done with Tanla¢, as I had reached the point where I don't believe I could have held out much longer. 1 always suffered terribly with indigestion af- ter meals and what I ate jeemed to do me no good. Everything 1 would eat soured on my stomach causing gas, bloating and much pain, and such tight, depressed feelings in my chest that § could hardly breathe. My nervous condition kept me from get- ting any sound sleep. 1 had terrible nightmares and would often wake in a fright, then in the mornings I would get up feeling half dead and just barely able to drag myself around. I was 80 weak 1 couldn't do my housework, would have fainting spells and sometimes just fall to the floor completely exhausted. I could- n't even sweep the floor and while I just tried everything I kept getting worse, - 'One day an aunt of mine told me how Tanlac had helped her and ad- vised me to try it, and the result are of nursing, and this is not to be expeet- ed from the untrained. The V.A.D has played a noble part during the war, but the nursing profession must be protected from the type of woman who would pose as a tralied nurse when she has not the qualifications, and collect fees to which she is not entitled, THOUSANDS OF REFUGEES Camped in Forests, Many Dying From Hunger--Much Typhoid. Moscow, June 26.--Although letters received here from Esthonia, one of the Baltic provinces, assert the people would rather come to Russia than re- main under German control, a flood of refugees pours towards the fron: tier This flood is held "up on the frontiers by Germans, who fear the infection of Bolshevism. Near Orsha, I am feeling much stronger and bet- ter in every way. 1 have taken three bottles and can do all my work wih out the least trouble. (Gas has stop- ped forming on my stomach and no matter what I eat I'm never bothered with indigestion. My health is better already than it has been in a long time and I'm just improving every i day. 1 rest well at night and my ner- vousness with all that tired feeling is gone, and Lam certainly very thank- ful to Tanlac." Mr. Thibault, who witnessed wife's statement, said: "Yes, i really remarkable how my wife has! improved in health since she began | using Tanlae and I heartily endorse| every word she has said in recom- | mending it. She has beeh in such | wretched health ior more than a year! that I had become une: and bought | all kinds of medicines.
