N : Im 6 i = VARIOUS COUNTRIES. _ il : > ¥ g # Comparing Freight Rates and Wages Paid on Government Owned and Private Owned Roads. . W. M. Acworth, the British repre- sentative on the International of Inquiry into the Canadian railway situation, in speaking of the English railways said recently: "Now, I am no foe of government railways. On thé contrary, I believe 7 at in countries with a population ess self-reliant than our own, such a policy is necessary. In a country with a bureaucracy as = well-trained and-as well-organized as that of Prus- sia, it may even be desirable. But a careful study of the evidence has con- vinced me that in the long run state control ends in keepifig down the best to the level of the worst, and that taking them all for all, thé private railway companies of England' and the United States have served the: public better than the government ys of the continent, or-of our ralian colonies, and are likely to better in the future." e employees in 1913 on the 'rail- ways of Germany numbered 786,466 and were paid on the average $408.97 per year, thirty-eight per cent. of the gross earnings. In Ger- man, all classes of freight considered, one and a third cents, or 13 mills, were collected for each ton of goods moved one mile, : In Canada during the fiscal year ended June 80, 1915--the figure are used, becausé they were those compil- ed from official records by the Bureau of Railway News and Statistics, Chi- cago--the employees numbered 124,- 142 who received on the average $727 per year, more than forty-five per cent of the gross earnings. Yet in Canada the railways collected only 7.51 mills, or about three-quarters 6f a cent for ,each ton of freight moved one mile. The rate charged in the United States for similar service in 1915 was 7,380 mills, or about 1-8 of a mill less' per ~ ton than in Canada. .. . Conditions in Australia.

Almost eyery woman at the head of a home meets daily many little worries in her household affairs. The care of her little ones, the work these worries. Most of them may be too small to notice an hour after- wards, but they constitute a constant strain that affects the blood and the nerves and e women look prema- turely old. e effect of these little worries may be noticed in sick or ner- vous headaches, fickle appetite, tired- ness after slight exertion, and the coming of wrinkles which every wo- man dreads, To those thus afflicted Dr. Williams' Pink Pills offer a speedy cure; a restoration of color to the cheeks, brightness to the eye, a hearty appetite and § sense of freedom from weariness. Among the many thou- sands of Canadian women who have found new health and strength through these pills is 'Mrs, G. Strasser, Acton, West, Ont, who says:--"I am the mother of three children and after each birth I became terribly run down, I had weak, thin blood, always felt tired, and unable to do my household work. After the birth of my third child 1 seemed to be worse, and was very badly run down. I found the greatest benefit from the Pills and soon gained my old time strength. Indeed after taking them I felt as well as in thy girlhood, and could take pleasure in my work. I also used Baby's Own Tablets for my little ones and have found them a splendid medi- cine for childhood ailments." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or you can procure them by mail at 50/ cents a box or six boxes for $2.60 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont, RUSSIA'S SPIRITUAL GIFTS. What Western Civilization May Learn From Russia. There is an attitude of expectangy, a sense of wonder, in the Russian mind. He believes in God with a working belief, and looks for signs of His activity in the world; and just as to the expectant shepherds watching by their flocks angels gppeared, so to the humble, believing Russian peasant come great certainties of God, says an English writer.

She used Bon-Opto and not only overcame her dis- tressing condition but so strengthened her eyesight that she was able. to dispense with her distance glasses ang | er headache and neuralgia left her, In thls instance I should say her eyesight was improved 100 per cent." Dr. Judkins says: "While house surgeon at a New Hngland Bye and Ear Infirmary and during many years in general dispen- sary practice, I found oculists too prone to operate and opticians too willing to pre- scribe glasses, and both inclined to neglect the strengthening and developing of the eyesight. The success of Bon-Opto in strengthening the eyesight will soon make eyeglasses old-fashioned. The Director of Medical Inspection of Boston Schools fn a report published February 20, 1917, states that only 14,016 pupils out of 89,176 exam- eed to wear glasses now, a marked revious report.
