Buoyed up with a sense of duty and a rightness of their hon- orable cause, they labored tirelessly to give moral and practical support to .their fighting men. They met the supreme tests of self-sacrifice with supreme courage.' Yes, Canada's wo- e LAND' FOR JpLE Olden Township, 200 acres, min- eral rights reserved. Timber lot, chiefly hardwood, ab wha ©.

What are Canadian women doing bout it? Are they living up to their reputation for loyalty. and patriot- ism? Are they fostering the growth of Canadian. manufactures? Are they supporting the-development of Can- ada's natural products? If women as a body throughout Canada would resolve to trade at Canada's commercial growth would be incalculable. : Canada's trade relations are diffi- ¢ult at the present time, Canadian money has depreciated from twelve to seventeen cents on the dollar ac- ross the border. In cold business, American 'money is considered to be worth from twelye to seventeen cenjs more than Canadian, The fact that Canada was giving freely of her money, her men and her blood in the cause of hanor, and that her neigh- bor was gathering in money and se- curities from munitions and war sup- plies, may. make Canada inestimably rich in honor, but it has made her comparatively poor in gold, while the United States is correspondingly rich in the latter. Canada is facing a big problem and she calls on her women for help. The women must band together as in war days and give to the men their wholehearted support in boosting Ca- nadian manufactures and industries, until the ceuntry goes over thé tdp and ahead to commercial business.

A ---------- BY MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF PRISON OFFICIALS, Nobody Knows Who is Going to Get the Axe--Demand That All Of- ficials be Placed on Equal Footing. The medical examination of of- ficlals at the Portsmouth penitenti- ary has caused the greatest excite- ment. Nobody knows who is going to "get the axe," and all things &re reported to be more or less demoral- ized in consequence. Only twice within memory has a general order ed to. This was in 18865 and again in 1899. In both cases the examination | was used as a method for weeding | out to make places for political hangers-on. In the present instance, however, there is no essential differ- once, except that the work is being done Siphreutly bf the Gixil Service on; the fact: sthe er has been made ats to every member of the staff is causing more or less suspicion of favoritism and consequent resentment. "If one man past sixty receives notice that his resignation would be | demanded, why should not every one: over: thet Wge receive the same no- | tice?" This statement was made by | an indignant official whose record is | beyond question, i The action of the commission is | not going to be overlooked when par- | liament meets and some sensational | revelations are promised unless all | officials are placed upon an equal footing and the same rule applied to those employed in the penitentiary branch at Ottawa as well as those at the institutions, REV.
