It has been a heavy turden for the motherland, but she has not for a moment sought to evade it. And in war, as in peace, she did her part. Proof of this fact of the exchequer, who recently brought down the following figures as to the war services and war sacri- other nations of the British Em- pire: 7 The United Kingdom enrolled €,211,427 men, of whom 743,000 were killed and 1,693,262 wounded. The dominions and colonies en- rolled 1,605,527 men, of whom 140,923 were killed and 357,585 were wounded: India enrolled 1,650,000 men, of were killed and wounded. It will thus be seen that in the great war the British Empire called to the colors some 9,466,954 fight- ing men; that of this number 945,- 521 paid the supreme sacrifice, while 3,121,706 suffered wounds and dis- abilities. In the face of these figures, it is needless to ask, "Who won the war?" approximately whom 61,5698 70,895 were FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS. Tuberculosis can be arrested and its position among the diseases that have the highest morality rates he radically changed. It is no longer re- garded as am incurable 'disease ex- cept in the areas where it is per- mitted to flourish. This we know with certainty. The disease is pre: valent everywhere, making its ap- pearance in every walk of life, and it is, therefore, necessary that any system to effectually combat it must be a universal system calling for the highest form of organized effort. Tuberculosis is still the chief cause of death in middle life, for'ot* ficial statistics show that about one- third of all the deaths that occur be- tween the ages of fifteen and forty- five are from tuberculosis. It is es- timated that 160,000 people die each year in the United States from this cause, and between the ages of twen- ty and thirty-five, about one-half ot all deaths are from tuberculosis. One of the great American life insurance companies reports that tuberculosis accounts of the death of one out of every eight of its policy-holders, taking i toll of life at the rate of one every half hour, day and night, from January 1st to December 31st, Such institutions have a direct financial interest and by co-operating with city officials, health officials and school offiyials in selected areas, the deaths from tuberculosis were in ten years reduced from 120 per 100,000 to 643% per 100,000. The National Tuberculosis Asso- ciation of the United Staets is en- gaged in a campaign for increasing the number of tuberculosis hospitals and sanitoria from 100, sixteen, years ago, to 700 with approximately 60,- 000 beds; for establishing 530 clin- fcs and dispensaries, in securing 3,500 tuberculosis nurses who in- struct in the home, mothers and families, and in establishing 3,000 open air schools and prev:arturia. In Canada we have not the ad- vantage of such an organization to direct the fight against tuberculosis, | consequently there is no concerted action. We are told by physicians who have specialized in the treat- ment of the di that we are lack- ing in munici clinics and in sani- toria, both of which are needed, the first for the early detection of the presence of tuberculosis and the second for the proper care of the patients. The result of such a con- dition is that the patient does not receive hospital care' untli the case istoo far advanced, and the mor- tality rate is steadily increasing. A committee was recently formed in Kingston by a number of public spirited citizens and physicians for the purpose of securing sanitorium treatment for every tubercular patl- ent, rich and poor alike. A meet- ing of representative citizens will be held in the city hall on the evening of May 4th for the purpose of form- ing an anti-tuberculosis organiza- tion with the object of starting a province-wide campaign calling upon the Ontario government to provide free sanatorium ireatmen: for tuberculosis sufferers. At pres- ent the government and the munie- palities make small per capita grants to such institutions.

No paper can perform these funec- {tions thoroughly unless it has good the people and the business men. The better financial backing a news- paper gets, the more actively it can work to help organize commupity movements, and to spread abroad in other places the impression that its home town is an advancing and wide-awake modern town.! WOODLAND FLOWERS. This is the season when the wild flowers bloom in the woodlands and along the marshy banks of streams. Gathering the blossoms of plants and - shrubs appeals to many as a pleasant excursion, ,and the num- ber has been augmented greatly since the advent of the automobile. To cull with prudence probably does no harm, but that is not the manner in which much of the gathering is done. ¥ If bushes are broken and plants pulled up by the roots it will follow shortly that wild flowers will cease to exist. If they are sufficiently at- tractive to create a desire to pull them, they are valuable enough to demand presérvation against extinc- tion. It is not unusual along a coun- try road to see great bunches of wilted bloom discarded. More than one could desire are gathered just for the sake of quantity, and since such flowers tend quickly to wilt they are thrown away when thay begin to droop. Withouf the blossoms present at this season the woods would be far less attractive. But it is necessary for the public to choose between the de- none to pull in the future. The wood- land, the natural habitat of such flowers, is disappearing, and the out- struction. If one feels like pulling wild flowers, do not do it. A gen- solve the problem. -- aoaiany PRESS COMMENT What Is The Matter?

James W, Barton, M.D, What About Your Brakes ? I! you want to stop a motor car you first take off the power and then apply the brakes. Someone has well: sald that "the engine is the best brake that a car can possess, granting that the driv- er knows how to use it so as to get the best results without doing any damage." Did you ever think about that as applied to that body of yours? Your body, like the engine, is running along' nicely whem ths necessity arises for a stop. It your body is understood by you, is really under your control, you see the stop far enough ahead that the use of the brake is almost un. necessary. who had been assigned to the latest mur- | "we hdven't a single clue, | weather?" | too, | the | © THE BEST MEN'S AND { i i SUITS SPECIAL | $18.00 Sizes 36 to 46. { i | lar $25.00 value. | | | | | YOUNG MEN'S Good, i honest Tweeds, good culor- ings, good tailoring.

This is your last ounce ot strength in as far as your health and vitality is concerned. Will they hold? They may hold all right and carry you through, but the constant unnecessary wear yon gave the brakes by your indiscre- tions has worn or weakened them and lessened your chances.
