The figures for the past six months are fifteen million dollars higher than they would have been without the imposition of war taxes, and as the revenues are still increas- ing there is every prospect that the estimate of $30,000,000 of special war revenue will be fully realized. Large Postal Increase The increase is shown in all de- partments that are, ordinarily, reven- ue-producing. For example, the stamp tax has produced over two million dol- lars, despite reports freely circulated, that it had failed. Since the outbréâ€"aicâ€"‘n'fâ€"‘war the in- terest 8 Band by the Dominion Govern- An analysis of the revenue of the Dominion for the past six months shows the return from the Post Of- fice to be $7,999,779.65 as against $5,725,000 last year; an increase of over $2,200,000. Now as to expenditure. It must be remembered that interest charges on war loans are paid out of the ordin- ary revenue. That was one of the items which had to be provided for out of the socalled war revenue raised by special taxation. For the past six months the revenue has totalled $73,243,514.59, or an aver- age of 312.207.252.44 a month. What that means may be better understood when it is remembered that the total revenue for the previous fiscal year, four months of which were anti-bel- lum. was $133,073,481.73, the monthly average thus being lower than the average for the present year. Estimate Being Fulfilled By going. back to the budget speech of last February it will be seen that the estimates then given to the coun- try by the Finance Minister are being fulfilled. lir. White stated that on the then basis of taxation. the revenue for the approaching fiscal year (the present year) would amount to $120,- 000,000, or a: average of $10,000,000 per month. The Dominion's program, he stated. would require a revenue of $150,000,000. That meant the rais- ing of $30,000,000 by special war tax~ es, and an increase of 7% per cent. in the general customs tariff. A reduction in the 'averageiannual debt increase, outside of the borrow- ings for purposes of war. Result of Careful Financing These results have come from care- ful and at the same time courageous financing. No one who looks intel- ligently over the three completed financial years of the present govern- ment has reason to entertain a doubt as to the ability of the Dominion to weather any storm. These three years showed an average surplus of nearly thirty million dollars, a record never equalled before in the Domin- ion. Substantial increases in the revenue in accordance with the estimate of the Finance Minister on the presentation of his war budget. A war expenditure well within t apgropriatipn made by Parliament. What the Figures Show These figures show:â€" A marked reduction in controllable expenditure. A capital expenditure confined to necessary outlays in large contract un- dertakings begun before the war, and in most cases before the present gov ernment took office. The figures quoted 'below are ofii-l cial. They represent the exact situa-l tion of the Dominion financially at the close of the half-yearly period, a situation which amply justifies the? course which the government has tak~ en, and which must be gratifying to all Canadins. ! r ada and to reach an accurate con- clusion as to the position in. which the country will be at the-close of the flngncial year.

From April 1, 1908 to March 31, 1911, the Liberal government increas- ed the national debt by $2,081,192.19, or an average yearly increase during that period of $0,693,730.73. They Speak For Themselves These figures Speak for themselves, They are unanswerable testimony to the prudence and wisdom with which the Borden government has bandied The average yearly addition to the national debt during this period, apart from war borrowings, was $16, 35,38 ’.16, or $48,706,146.49 for the whole three years. Comparing these increases with those recorded for the last three com- plete fiscal years of the Liberal regime it is found that there has been a very substantial reduction. A total of ....... $53,573,810.25 Largest in Canada's History The surplus shown for this three- year period was by far the largest in Canada’s history. It was sulficient to liquidate $89,000,000 of capital expen- diture, leaving only $16,000,000 to be borrowed on capital account. tal Railway ........... $36,269,049.19 The Quebec B idge ..... 6,933,236.67 Hudson Bay Railway... 10,371,524.39 The total capital expenditure dur‘ ing the same period was $105,833,542,- 09, half of which went to complete three of the costly .undertakings left unfinished by the late government, as follows: National Transcontinen- Large Yearly Sui-plus The total surplus over all consoli- dated fuzzds’ expenditure was thus 389970 76-80 or an average yearly surplus of $29, 990, 187. 60. The total ordinary expenditure in these three years amounted to $374,- 967,216.94. The total aggregate revenue of the Dominion for these three fiscal years has been $484,937,779.74. $100,000,000. making a total of $150,- 000,000. The amount unexpended and therefore available for expenditure be- for the next session of Parliament is $44,821,630.83, an amount which is considered ample for what remains to be done this year in raising, training, equipping and paying Canadian troops for overseas service. Since the present government took office in the fall of 1911, there have been three complete fiscal years, the first of which began on April 1, 1912. The- capital expenditure of the Dominion for the first six months of current year had amounted to $16,- 800,000 as against $17,700,000, last year. This expenditure is nearly all on account of large undertakings be- gun before the change of government. such as the National Transcontinental Railway, the Quebec Bridge, the Hud- son Bay Railway, and to which has been added the new Welland Ship Canal. The War Expenditure It has been stated already that the war expenditure has exceeded one hundred millions. The exact figure is $105,178,369.12. Last year the war vote passed by Parliament amounted to $50,000,000. This year’s vote was what is known as ordinary outlaâ€"y: which includes all expenditure other gum a capital account. The reduc- tion under this head during the fillet half of the fiscal year has been 39.244.016.84. red to date together -with added '13. terest upon a further sum of probably ,150,000,000 of principal.

The best results are ob- tainable in a community Where every one cleans up his premises. traps or kills the flies and systematically treats the manure and other breeding places with powdered hellebore. Scientists who have been working for years to eliminate the fly are con- vinced that the use of one or the other of these simple measures is a public duty wherever manure and refuse ex- ist. Sanitarians, however. strongly adxise the rcmm .11 of refuse heaps or other unnecessary rubbish or breeding . places for flies. In breeding places which cannot be thus disposed of, such as manure or stables, the daily use of! powdered hellebore will keep the flies ; from breeding in these favorite breed- 1 Although fresh manure is the favor- ite breeding spot, flies lay their eggs in other places as well, such as out- houses, refuse piles, etc. In these places, from which no manure is taken to spread on the fields, considerable saving may be effected through the substitution of borax for powdered hel- lebore. Applied at the rate of 0.62 pounds per 8 bushels of manure borax is as effective as powdered hellebore in killing the larvae, but costs less than half. a cent for each bushel of manure treated. In larger quantities, however, or when the manure itself is spread at a greater rate than 15 tons to the acre, some damage to crops may result. Large quantities of manure are often used by market gardeners and others, and there is always danger of carelessness in applying the borax. The use of the more expensive but safer hellebore is therefore recom- mended t‘or the treatment of manure. Borax is recommended for all other refuse in which flies may lay eggs. â€"vw- One-half pound of powdered belle- bore mixed with ten gallons of water is suflicient to kill the larvae in eight bushels or ten cubic feet of manure. The mixture should be sprinkled‘care- fully over the pile, especial attention being paid to the outer edges. In most places hellebore is obtainable in 100 pound lots at a cost of 11 cents a pound. This makes the cost of the treatment a little less than seven-tenths of a cent per bushel of manure. A liberal estimate of the output of manure is two bushels a day per horse. The mon- ey involved is therefore trifling in com- parison with the benefits to the indi- vidual and the community from the practical elimination of the disease spreading fly. the Larvae Dieeevered. {Prepared by United states department of agriculture] A safe and effective weapon agahisi: the typhoid ot' housefly has been found in powdered helleboro by scientists of the department of agriculture.

Since powdered helie- bore is readily obtainable this puts in the hands of everyone a remedy for one of the pests that has been found dangerous as well as troublesome.

This is not true of powdered heliebore.
