Wars usually are imposed by the selfish ambitions of a few, who hide their real pury it national honor were in ved. Thus the need for an opération is | rather upon the heads of the people than upon thelr hearts. The war impulse seems to have been pretty well crowded out of their hearts as shown by the campaigns of instruc- tion and other measures that have been necessary to get them to go to war. What is needed is a stimula- tion of their intellectual vision to the point of seeing how they have been duped by politicians who get in the way of their efforts to pre- vent agmed conflicts. What they must do, then, {s not so much to get war impulses out of their heart -- which they already have done large- Iy--as to get more impuises of com- mon sense to operating im thelr minds. As a matter of historical fact, the impulse for war finds difficulty in| taking control of men's hearts be- | cause of the activity of the better impulseS. It might be said that | there is no actual impulse for war in men's hearts, when we speak of mankind in the mass. The war- weariness of old world nations, the groans drawn by the taxation bur- dens incidental to militaristic pro- grammes, and the periodical re. volts all bear witness to the claim that even among the peoples of 2u- rope, supposedly saturated with the war spirit, the impulse for dead- ly combat is relatively weak. \ Constant urgings by inhumanty cold-blooded leaders keep this war- tradition alive, but it is by no means an easy job. The road to war Is not through popular impulses, and those who do mot understand tha: are viewing a sombre subject from a superficial standpoint -- one whien excludes the facts, It is not man In the mass which needs the influ. ence of different impulses, but the rulers. ---- A PECULIAR POLICY. The Vancouver Sun is greatly con. cerned regarding a recent ruling of the customs department regarding a shipment of goods, from Toronto to Vancouver, which was sent by way of New York and the Panama canal. This shipment consisted of aluminum ware manWfactured in Toronto, yet, on arrival at Vancou- ver, the goods were declared to be liable to a duty of thirty-five per cent, plus a sales tax of six per cent, a total in all of forty-one per cent. The persons to whom the goods have been shipped are, nat- urally, up in arms against what they term an absolutely unfair duty be- ing imposed on them. The peculiar part of the transaction is that, ae- cording to the ruling of the cus toms department, if the goods haa been shipped to Vancouver by rail, through Canadian or American ter- | poses by appeals to pattotism, ag| Prime minister has staked his poli- | tical future, and that of his party, protection which does not protect | servatives at the election of a year The future fate of Premier Bald- | win of Great Britain now rests in| the hands of the electors. The Bri- | tish parliarfrent, after a life of only | one-year so far as the present gov ernment is concerned, has beem dis- solved, and the country 1s in the throes of a general election cam- paign. Once again a Conservative on the policy of protection, and fhe first natural result has been the re- uniting of the two Liberal factions to face the protectionist bogey against which Liberalism has always fought its strongest fights." Freo | trade has always been the ideal ot | the British Liberals. They have | fought for it through countless elec- | tion campaigns, and have been up- | eld by the people in their oppos- | tign to anything which savoured or | protection. 3, Wdreunion of the Liberals is the most important single factor in the whole campaign. While Asquith is the leader of the reunited party, Lloyd George has won new prestige by his self-efacement, and his decl- sion to follow. after a quarrel of nearly nine yexrs, the leadership ot the former premier, Lloyd George has been shrewd emough to see! nominal leader of the party, the pbo- ple of Britain will look upon his sacrifice of leadership as an indl- cation of his desire to serve his country in any position which might offer itself to him, regardless of his cwn personal advancement, His decision to follow Asquith wis a courageous one, but a shrewd one, for it will, in the end, place him on a higher pedestal than ever in the eyes of the British public. With all the other parties are rayed against him as opponents of his policy of protection, Pre- mier Baldwin has a hard battle to fight. He is, apparently, sincere in his conviction that protection win put an end to the unemployment which has been so disastrous for the masses of the people. The dit- ficulty will be to get the masses to £0e eye to eye with him on the ques- tion. Great Britain is dependent on other countries for so much of the unecessary things of life that the mere mention of protection brings up in the mind of the average citi- ze over there the fear of higher living costs. The truism that the tariff must always be paid by the ultimate congumer has become somewhat of os in British poli- tics, and even although Premier Baldwin has announced that there will be mo tariff on wheat, flour, cheese, butter, eggs or meat, that will not be sufficient to dispel the fear. Even if Premier Baldwin were to carry out his pledge to leave those articles free from protective duties, the tariffs imposed on other articies would 'be reflected in higher prices for foodstuffs. In addition to this, the agricultural population of Bri- tain is not likery to be satisf ed with them, but merely results in increas- great importance during, the elec- tion campaign, and they cannot but bave an adverse influehcs on 'the vote which was cast for the Con. ago.

In conse- quence, these issues are often bet. ter than many first mortgage honds because of the difference in the Etrength of the issuing companies. For example, the debentures of the Standard Oil Company (New York), are the sole funded debt of the company. Because of the great strength. of the company these the first mortgages of many a weaker company. However, if this company had {issued the same amount of bonds under a closed frst mortgage, they would have rated higher as an investment than the present debentures. On the other hand, if the ccm: pany had a prior first mortgage bond issue and debenture bonds, the debenture bonds would not rate no highly. In the last analysis, it is the strength of the company issu- ing the bonds which counts, not the mere terms debenture or mortgage. -------- FOUND US QUITE CIVILIZED. American Woman Thought Cana dians Brutal and t. Toronto, Nov. 20.--Addressing a gathering here last night, Miss Amy Woods, of Washington, \ D.C. na- tional secretary of the Women's In- ternational League of Peace, said she was agrecably surprised to find that the Canadian people 'were not the ignorant, brutal race that she and willions of others in the United States bad been to believe. The Brock memorial at Queenston eights appalled her, as she had never before heard that the Ameri cans had waged war in Canada. Miss Woods explained that she had come to Toronto to emlist the support of Canadians in the furtherance of the movement to make war Impossible.

Somewhere - you bave heard or read that when one had "the jaun- dice" that something was wrong with his liver. And this is true. The jaund'cs is due to the absorption b7 tha blood of bile which as you know is manu- factured in the liver. | There have been many theories re- garding the cause of jaundice but it Is lLelieved generally now that it is due to some stoppage in the ducts which prevents the flow of bile in the right direction, also to ehanges in the circulation of blood in the liver, to poisons from food, and offen from some strong emotion or aliock that disturbs the nerves of the liver. Just as soon ds any of these things happen, the bile owing to the changes in its composition becomes muygh thicker and cannot flow along as readily. Thus, instead of the bile flowing out frcm the liver into the intestine end thus doing its work of renderiny poisonous matter harmless, it is so thick and "stale" that these poisons actually invad. the-liver and set up trowbie, and real infla ation.
