Mr. Hanna noted that during the four yeprs of the war Canada ab- sorbed over 16,600 miles of railway, and that with the exception of 191%" the net earnings per mile of line in- wreased. This was in spite of the fact that during the first years of the conflict emigration declined, and during the latter part fell away en- tirely. The speaker observed t - the day of the small independefit railway lines had passed, and with 'the weak lines coupled with the strong lines, competition between the great sys- tems, particularly in United States, will return. Mr. Hanna dealt with "those red figures from Ottawa," which he jocularly referred to as "the ban of a railway man's life." "The railways of Canada operate at as low a figure or lower than those of the United Stated," he said, pointing to 1916 as the last year in which the parallel figures were available. At that time Canadian railway operating costs were consid- | erably lower than in United States. | He added that United States rail- roads administration had failed by over $700,000,000. | The ton mile rate for Canada, he | said, had not been completed for an | entire year since 1918. The present rate per ton mile was 83% mills, | compared with 7.35 in 1918. | To illustrate the rate paid by users | of the freight service, Mr. Hanna | took a glass, which he represented | as beig worth about five cents, | "The railways in Canada have got {to carry a ton of freight over tive | miles, and nearly six miles, to earn | the value of this glass," he declared. | "Or," continued Mr. Hanna, "if | your chairman writes to us to tell | us some things and I reply, putting |a Canadian stamp on the letter, our i railway has got to haul one ton of | freight nearly three miles to earn the stamp." Mr. Hamna quoted some compara- tive rates for hauling one ton a mile on the railways of other countries. The rate in Canada was about 8-10 of a cent; New South Wales, 2.14 cents; South Australia, 2.64 cents; Norway, 2.29 cents; Brazil, 7 cents; and, before the war, Germany, 1.37 cents; France, 1.28 cents; Austria, 1:51 cents; Bulgaria, 1.94 cents, "Give Canadian railways the same rate as in South Austrailia and" on the investment of one and a half mitigns they will pay not only 5% per. cent. but 5% per cent. on the debt of Canade, and then they will have one hundred millions left to One Great Essential To a Woman's Health « ° Is Her Nerves Nature intended women to' be strong, healthy and happy as the day is long, instead of being sick and wretched, But how can any woman be healthy and happy when the whole nervous system is unstrung. The trouble is they pay more attention to their social and household duties than they do to their health, Is it any wonder then that they become ir- ritable and nervous, have hot flush- es, faint and dizzy spells, smotherin and sinkihg spells, become weak an nervous, and everything In life be- comes dark and gloomy.

Mr. Hanna gave.figures regarding | ernment in connection with Natioxal | Railways. Twenty-four vessels were at present running on routes to all | parts of the world. When the St. | Lawrence was oleared of ice a Montreal-St. John service would be | established, and would handle con- | siderable freight from the Atlantic seaboard. From the Pacific coast the administration expected to soon start a servicd to South Africa, re- turning via Singapore and Hong Kong. They also hoped to start a Can- ada-Manchester service, and further service to the coast of South Am- erica. : "Through our ocean services we have diverted directly to Canadian ports a large quantity of traffic that formerly, reached us through United States ports," sald Mr. Hdnna, noting that last year the national servicgs had handled over 40,000,000 tonk of raw sugar The management of the system was also in constant touch with Canadian manufacturers, he said, to ascertain trade conditions. They also had been making world tours to ascertain trade conditions in all parts of the globe. Special attention was being directed to improving the ocean pas- senger service. "The operation of the Government steamers for the first time is show- ing results in the black figure column," Mr. Hanna said. -- The programme for freight liners includes sixty-five ships with a gross tonnage of 385,000 tons. The speaker thought that there would be nothing so popular in Can- ada as .the siccess of the Canadian National 'Railways, "With freedom fpém political in- fluence, and a proper measure of support from shippers and consign- ees, we cannot do otherwise than make them a success," he declared. "The resources of Canada are great and the people industrious." He stated that the fact of the rail- ways not paying their way at present, must not be taken that railway con- struction in Canada had been over- done, - There had been very little new mileage added during the war, and the work that was dome just prior to the war had had no oppor- tunity to add to the development of the system.'
