THE EFFECTS OF THE WAR. To talk in a pessimistic stvle will not do any good. To pureiy optimistic is liable to be de- bei e1 ceptiv e. We are facing a situa-i tion that is anything but cheering‘ to the laboring classes. the manu- facturing: classes and all others with the exception of the food producers who are raising a sur- plus 'of foodstuffs. The man on the land with enough and to spare is of the'only class who will not feel the effect of stringency brought about by the War situa- tion. The wealthy man. with whom the'expenditure of a few thousand dollars is neither here nor there. will be another exam.- In cities. where the rank and file; of pupulation belong to the class; of consumers. and totally void ofi all means of production. the eh; fects of the war will be felt with: i intensity. The war trouble, Niel anything else that increases the}; demand and decreases the supply: of foodstuffs. will assuredly iu-l crease the already ‘hig'h cost of living. This again emphasizes the need of going back to the lanai. which. after all, is the true source of supply, and the neglect of which makes it all the harder to eke out an existence. Next year will be worse than this year, and should the war continue, the prices of foodstuffs are bound to go up. and lack of world with an overstocked labor market will cause Wages to come down. '1 11¢ outlook is not . bright, and the thousands in the cities who see hard times staring them in the face will do well to go back to the land and engage for a time in agricultural prusuits. tion. The farmers are going to be benefited by the present state of unrest. 'lhe products of the farm 101' both man and beast will be in great demand and every farmer who is wise in his own interests will cultivate every inch o1 $011 at his command. 1he labor problem will in part be solved for a time by a general exodus from city to country life. ' We are all hOpin-g for the war to cease, but should hostilities cease to-morro‘w, the havoc of the. past few weeks have caused a dis- turbance it will take years to remedy. The effects of the war will be felt throughout the whole world and all we can do is to take things as we find them. DURHAM SEPTEMBER 17. 191-1. Though Canada, outside the farming industry, may suffer for a time, improvements in all lines are likely to follow the close of the war. How long the hostilities may last can not be even guessed at this stage of the proceedings. In any event, the business world will be effected and the business hitherto controlled by Germany will be divided ultimately and a large share will come from othem sources. This is Canada’s Oppor- tunity to bid for a portion of the German trade, and she should be active now in getting herself in readiness. The United States too. will be a future gainer, and the world's unrest of toâ€"day will turn Germany’s trade into other chan- nels. A better order of things. let us hone, will soon be knocking at our doors. [Hf DURHAM CHROME}!

She married the man she was in doubt about zind is now a healthy and happy wife." A girl of seventeen entered a room adjoining the one in which the two men were ehatting just in time to hear this last statement of Dr. Pulsifer. catching only the words “giving her a love medicine” and what followed. A love medicine: She had never heard of such a thing. Could it be pos- sible that doctors could give a medl- cine to produce love? She had neves been in love, but was very curious to know how one in love would feel. She stood very still. hoping: to hear more on this interesting topiv, but Dr. Pulsl- fer had caught a glimpse of her and was silent. This young lady was Dolly Water- man. the daughter of one of the men who had been conversing. A few days later Dick Otis. a young fellow of nineteen, who had formerly been her playmate and was' now her friend. came to see her, and another dialogue consequent on the first took place. “Dick." said Dony. “do you know cnat there is a medicine to produce love?” “No. I don‘t,” replied Dick, opening his eyes very wide. “There is." “Who told you that rubbish?" “It can‘t be rubbish. for I heard Dr. Pnlsifer telling it to father.” “What did he say '2” “Why, he said he gave a love med- icine to a girl who was one or his pa- dents.” “Dr. Pulsifer said that?” “Yes. he did. And he said. too, that she married the man it was to make her in love with and is now a happy Now. Dick Otis was by no means as unsophisticated as Dolly. He at once saw that there might be an opportu- nity. Love was not the subject of in- terest to him it was to her. for most young men of his age are given rather to love of self than love for any one else. He at once resolved to pretend to tumble to the idea. “If Dr. Pulsifer hadn’t said that I shouldn’t have believed it.” “Fact.” said Dolly. “Did he say how long it required for the stuff to take éfl'ect?” “I didn't hear him say that.” “I'd like 'to get some of his medl- “What for?" -“Well.

When she went to bed she took up the bottle, looked at it, held it up to the light and smelled of it. The perfume was delicious. She LOUCht‘d it with her tongue and it was like :1 new kind of candy. She poured a tiny bit into a spoon and put it be- tween her lips. It was so nice that she concluded to take halt’ a teaspoon- ful, which. being only half a dose, wouldn't affect her. It was so dell- cious that she concluded to take the other hult‘ teaspoonful. When she went to bed she had taken all there was in the bottle. Dick had promised to come to see her the next evening and tell her how he felt. He did so. anticipating a lot of fun. since he intended to pretend that he was madly in love with her. Nevertheless be determined not to hurry matters nor to overdo it. “Well?” repeated Dick. “1 took all there was in the bottle.” “With what result?” “I went to sleep dreaming of a girl I had known for years. I had sup- .posed I felt only a friendship to? her. but in this was mistaken. For the first time I realized that I loved her and had always loved her.” “Oh, dear! Who is she?” There wasn’t the slightest reason for this question, for Dick told her with his eyes who the girl was. “Well?” said Dolly as soon as they were together. “I wouldn’t like to tell that.” Dick replied. “until I learn how she feels toward me. How did the medicine at- fect you '2" “I? Oh..l didn’t”- “Are you sure?" “I don’t think I took enough to at- fect me.” “How mum did you take?" “I took half a teaspoonful.” “Didn’t it make you feel a bit queer ?" “But it tasted so nice i took another half teaspoonful. Fact is 1 took all there was.” " “Don‘t you’teel any different?" He was standing very near her, she resting one hand on a table on which there were violets. Dick took the oth- er hand in his. He stood thus for a few moments. looking into her eyes. which were bent down upon the vio- lets. Then.he bent forward to her lips. she withdrawing them slightly.
