i es ; vsdan P The dirge of national distress finds no echo in facts. Ready money always speaks in strident tones, and that there is a great store of ready money in Canada is amply shown by bank deâ€" posits and by purchase of securities.~ The recent overâ€"subscription of the Dominion loan to reâ€" tire $172,000,000 of Victory RBonds maturing on November Ist was a pleasing revelation of naâ€" tional spirit and national wealth, but there are other equally significant signs. Since January Ist, Canadian bonds to the value of $432,124,600 have been sold, government bonds, municipal bonds, corporation bonds and railroad bonds, and of this great amount, an amount that would have been inconceivable of successful issue ten years a§o,.the Canadian people purchased $356,675,000 ! nly $73,949,000 of the total was offered in the United States, and the comparatively insignifiâ€" cant sum of $1,000,000 in Great Britain.. A people possessing the large stock of money shown by these figures is not in the throes of death or on the verge of national â€"bankruptey. :. Presence of mind on the part of a Girl Guide and. obedience to the order given saved the lives of a number of young girls on a railway bridge near Ottawa on Saturday. Overtaken by an apâ€" proaching engine, the command yelled by Miss Parker, "all lie down flat," was obeved. The enâ€" gine passed within a few inches of the endangerâ€" ed group, but none of them were injured. Equal forethought and corresponding obedience would save many persons from evils which they suffer. grerease" .. .l..

To the question : "Has the drinking increased among college students since federal prohibition came into effect?" the following results have been tabulated from 274 American colleges and universities, representing 406,162 students, in a poll taken by E. G. Southworth, president of the Meadville (Pa.) Theological School : ' bommneen on outheedien ce otone . LACCUE PICS long been high, its ‘strength is founded on the rock of careful administration, and so confirmed is publicsconfidence in the institution as scarcely fo require the reassurance given by the directors. â€"â€"Gazette. â€"â€" The nervousness which caused a number of person to withdraw their deposits from the Doâ€" minion Bank can be traced to the recent collapse of the Home Bank. It is a temporary condition of mind arising out of ignorance and inability to differentiate, a passing phase of psychology of which ekamples have been manifold in the past. The Dotninion Bank, while not among the largâ€" est, is one of the safe and strong banks of Canâ€" ada.. It has enjoyed a career of uninterrupted prosperity ; has always been well managed and has a directorate of men prominent in trade and finance. ‘The conservative character of its manâ€" agement is revealed in a. reserve of profits amounting to $7,000,000, a sum $1,000,000 in exâ€" eess of capital. The reputation of the bank has long been high, its strength is founded on the pon .n N bell ItS. s 8 _ ‘"The Home Bank was a bank only in _name. . The audit made for the protection of its shareholders was a farce. The bank took the money of thousands of small investors and bank depositors and handed it over in _ huge sums to a few plunging speculators _and exploiters who, were seeking to get rich Aquick, accepting as security for these loans the bonds and stocks of their companies or mortgages upon street railways, timber \ lands, pulp and paper mills, and other busiâ€" ness enterprises with which directors of the . bank were connected." . â€" Ttis cleat that some measures must be taken to provide greater protection for depositors. A government inspection would have revealed weaknesses long before the funds of the bank bad been so wasted upon doubtful enterprises. If the Home BRank had been closed a year or two ago, the depositors‘ losses would not have been so severe.. And that is what probably would have happened if adequate government inspection had been given. Some of the directors occupy diffiâ€" eult pgsitions in~ view of the report of the Curator.â€"Sentinel. \â€" If we may judge from the report of the Curaâ€" tor, there has been mismanagement of the grossâ€" ést character, and the arrest of ten directors inâ€" dicates ‘criminal conduct.. The failure of the Merchants Bank was a deplorable case,. but the Home Bank is worse. Discussing the Curator‘s report, The Globe says: PAGE TWOâ€" _ The Ctrator‘s report on the condition of the Home Bank shows that institution to be in much worse state than was expected. (There has been so many reports that the depositors would reâ€" ceive almost all their money, that it came as a shock that they will get hardly twentyâ€"five per cent. of their claims.

M. Wilson, Manager of the Society. The statistics were as follows: Horses examined, 6,402; humanely destroyed, 110 ; brought to shelter, 166. Dogs brought to shelter, 3,464; placed in homes, 445; humanely destroyed, 2,â€" 975; claimed by owners, 86. Cats brought to shelter, 8,617 ; humanely destroyed, 8,387 ; placed in homes, 20.

' Writers tell us that not even in the days of the war, when money flowed continuously, was there such extravagance as that being indulged in by New Yorkers at the present time. This is proven in a small way by the attendance at the world baseball series. 301,430 persons paid $1,â€" 063,815 to see the six games. i The temporary "run" on the Dominion Bank illustrates the ease with which people are stamâ€" peded, especially when selfâ€"interest occurs. A senseless report gained currency on Sunday. On Monday many‘ branches of the bank were beâ€" sieged by depositors demanding their money. Within a few hours the mistake was discovered and thousands of dollars withdrawn were again placed on deposit. Economy should be the watchword of the Ottawa government if the country is ever going to square up: The net debt of Canada on August 31 last was $2,403,596,995. . This is an increase of $361,385 during the month of August and an inâ€" crease of $15,920,730 over the total net debt on August 31, 1922. In August, 192%, the net debt decreased $4,866,362. Talk about news travelling "on the wings of the wind." " The senseless story that caused a temporary run on the Dominion bank travelled at a faster rate on Monday morning. Hon, Howard Ferguson gave good advice in his speech on Tuesday, when he urged all those who are unable to increase their income to reâ€" duce their expenditure. There are many things most of us can do without if we so decide, and the abstinence will help the country as well as the individual. f Toronto contributed $58,000 Relief Fund. The Queen City when an appeal is made. the nations of the earth. Whatever the history of Canada may be, and it will be a great one, your children and your children‘s children will read the story of what you did in August, 1914, when you declined to take the attitude of Cain by helpâ€" ing brotherhood throughout the world at freeâ€" dom‘s call and regarding it as the most precious inheritance in a land of vast treasure." * forials the "The things you fight for in life are not the biggest things you win, my friends. You fight for something which is true, which is night, which is just, which is upright, and you gain something which is bigger than the thing you are fighting for. You fought for liberty, for the liberty of a small nation &cross the Atlantic, beâ€" cause you are free yourself, and in fighting for the independence of another nation you estabâ€" lished your own nation forever in the register of MB is Sb EE 5 EuT Alluding to the part Canada played in the Great War, Lloyd George used the following very generous language : be conducted along three general lines which are closely identified with health and which represent universal everyâ€"day needs. These three general lines are Ventilation, Sanitation and Personal Hygiene. Experts and others well informed along these lines know many simple truths about their relation to both public and private health. The primary purpose of Good Health Week is to make this scientific and pracâ€" tical information easily available to the laymen who would "like to know." Emphasis will be laid this week on keeping well people well rather than curing sick people, and to this end sthe campaign of education will Prominent business men are back of this movement. Impressed with the importance of health from the cold business standpoint of inâ€" creased earning power, the reduction of time lost because of sickness, and the greater efficiency of the healthy, happy woarker, they are joining hands with the medical profession and with health authorities in a determinated, well organized educational campaign to spread health, knowlâ€" edge and bring it home to the people. They believe that education is much more effective than legislation in creating a demand for the things which make for health and that the preâ€" vention of disease is far better than its cure and much cheaper. Better and more abundant health for the men," women and children of Canada. Better sanitation and hbetter ventilation . in homes, schools and workshops. Telling the layman what he can do to bring about more healthful living conditions, both for the individual and for the community. & Another has been added to the weeks that the public is directed to observe.
