WHY LIVING IS HIGH, The members of the government who received the municipal repre- sentatives Just week, and heard their appeal on the cost of living, did not send them away satisfied. On the conirary, the appellants for relief feft the present of the mighty ones with a feeling of resshtment. The Hon. Mr. Crothers explained that liv- ing was higer elsewhere than/in Canada, but it was still high because there were a quarter of a million less producers in the country. He had reference to the large number who were engaged in the war, and out of their ordinary occupations, He ought to be able to offer some explanation as to why the staff of life [qoarter of 480 Ibs. . which is the {highest price obtainable singe the Crimean war in 1855. , Three hundred more men--or- 700 them 'in turn having shown how un-|in all within a week--have returned | reliable are the statistics of the Im-| to Canada pliysjeally unfitted for the |. ovinces {military service.

Bruce, Inspector-General of Canadian Over- seas Medical Service, it is stated that many obviously unfit men are passed by examining officers into the ranks, and that these are not weeded out until they get to England. Among the instances quoted is that of a Canadian pioneer draft arriving in England last June. Out of 2564 men, 57 were unfit. Out of 2,670 soldiers coming before medical boards in two months, 1,340 ought never to have been at the front.

SL TRAINING FOR MEXICANS. / ------ Gen. Carranza's Way to Get the Ariny Support. Mexico City, Oct. 26.--General Carranza issued last night a decree providing for universal compulsory military instruction for both boys and girls in all primary and prepara- tory schools throughout the republic. Nursing will be taught to the .girls. The object of this decree, it is stated, is to avofd the necessity of maintaining a large army such as has supported dictators as heads of the government in the past, because of the lack of militery preparation. Luckily for the best man at a wed- ding that he's content with second place. 4 When you lofe hope there is but Military orfolk Suit nostrils open right up, the air pas- sages of your head are clear and you can breathe freely.

These facts having been established 'Mr. Crothers will have occasion to revise his conclusions. The Montreal Mail, from which we take this information, has a tele- gram from Winnipeg - which portends something serious. It is that the grain growers of the west have called a meeting which will take place next month. It will insist that the gov- ernment establish 'and operate a string of flour mills, and for the benelit and interest of the people. This demand will be accompanied by another that the 'government com- in Canada cided advantages, however.
