It is the result of prudent and saga- cious administration of the affairs of the Dominion upon a well thought-out plan rigidly adhered to. The Borden Government has suc’ ceeded in making two blades of grass grow where one grew before. It has stimulated the revenue and cut down the expenditure. It has carried to necessful fruition a campaign for Increased production of natural pro. ducts, and this increase, as stated recently by the Minister of Finance, far outweighs the cost of the war, enormous as that cost is likely to be. VIOVIAO-V‘w “In: -â€"-â€"v - â€".v Canada is rich in proportion to its production. In this there has been an extraordinary expansion which will be permanent. That means a richer country. a bigger buying power, the ahiiity ot‘ the Canadian people to car- ry easily the burden which the war has imposed upon them. Making Good Official statistics show that the special revenue measures taken by the Finance Minister, are producing all that was expected of them. In other words enough money is coming in to close the gap which, upon the old tariff basis, would have occurred this year between revenue and expen- diture. - _- l .1 av“- w- expenditure has been reduced ma- terially without the sacrifice of neces- sary national undertakings placed previously under contract. This re- duction has been effected in spite of the heavy payments which the pre- sent Government has had to make on the completion of works undertaken by the former Ministry, the National Transcontinental Railway, the Quebec Bridge, the Hudson’s Bay Railway, How It Was Financed H The method adopted by Hon. W. T. 1 White, Minister of Finance, in provid-l ing for the war expenditure, has been 1 far-sighted. to a degree which is only [4 now becoming apparent to most Can- \1 adians. During the first period of the . 1 war Mr. White paid for the organiza- . tion and equipment of the Canadian army with money borrowed in Eng- land. That was sound finance der the conditions then existing. ose conditions, however, changed. The trade balance which formerly was ad- verse to Canada, swung in the oppo- site direction. Canada began to pro- duce more and sell more. The ex- iports of the Dominion began to ex- iceed the imports. It became possible to borrow on this side of the ocean and Mr. White went to New York. He succeeded in borrowing $45,000,000 there under exceptionally favorable }terms. That was before the British gand French commissioners entered 1the New York money market. Effect on Exchange Just how much was really accomw :plished when the Canadian loan was !issued in .\'ew York in August was glittle understood at the time, but the ‘wisdom of the step has been amply ‘shown in recent developments. The loan, and the sale in New York otl sterling bills, drawn against ship- ments of (‘anadian wheat to Great1 :Britain and Europe, have restored the 'rate of emzhange on New York prac- tically to par. This is of very mater- :ial importance to Canada. Three months ago exchange between this country and the United States was unfavorable to Canada, a premium of one half to (11119 per cent. having to be paid on (”anadian money to obtain funds in New \‘ork. In other words, the Amerh-an dollar was worth more than the Canadian dollar.

The next loan will be “made in Canada.” It is announced that the domestic issue will not take place till after the end of the year, when the amount and terms of the loan will be announced. It is going to be in allot- ments to suit 3:11 persons and all purses, and there is to be no under- writingâ€"no ground floor. The whole financial situation is thus one which inspires confidence and justifies optimism. Canada is in good shape financially. The financial returns of the firstt seven months of the present fiscal‘ year, that is to say until the end of October, show an increase in receipts of $6,700,000 over the corresponding period of the previous year and a re- duction of nearly nine million dollars In ordinary expenditure and of two and a half million dollars on capital mcount. CANADA WILL RAISE 250,000 SOLDIERS Government Decides to Call For That Number The Government has authorized the l raising of one hundred thousand more Canadian troops for overseas service, bringing the total Canadian force up to no less than two hundred and fifty thousand men. Already there has been recruited, authorized or offered enough battalions to bring the Can- adian army up to well over two hun-l dred thousand men so that the pat-' riotic appeal of the Government is be-‘ ing loyally and rapidly responded to by the people of Canada.

While we have changed our ideas as to what causes bad air, ventilation is just as essential to remove heat pro. duced by human bodies as it was once thought to be to remove the carbon dioxide produced by human lungs, and it is now proved also to be essential for carrying away chemical products which exert a measurable effect upon the ap- petite for food. People who live and work in overheated and unventilated rooms are reducing their vitality and rendering themselves an easy prey to all sorts of diseases.” Problems With Which Iron and Steel Exports Are Wrestling.

CANADIAN WAR LOAN TO BE LAUNCHED SHORTLY Hon. W. '1‘. White announced this week that the Canadian War Loan which will be offered only in Canada will be advertised during the last week of the present month. The loan will be headed by His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught, who has in- timated his desire to subscribe. He is asking all financial institutions and the public generally to be prepared to participate. A few days ago he Minister of Finance Meeting With Great Encouragement saw the officers of the Canadian Life Assurance Companies in Montreal and later met with the full Executive Committee of the Canadian Bankers’ Association at Ottawa respecting the part these important organizations will play in participating in the loan. During the next three weeks Mr. White expects to be continuously en- gaged in organizing for the campaign at the end of November in which Canada will demonstrate her ability to finance a substantial part of her large and rapidly increasing war ex- penditure. ‘ _The Minister said that all specula- tion as to the amount of the loan or the price or terms of issue would be mere surmise. This information will be given in the prospectus when the loan is advertised and not before. Mr. White will be at his ofiice only occasionally during November as nearly all his time will be taken up in organizing to make the issue a conspicuous success. He states that the generous offers of co-operation which he is receiving from financial and investment houses are most gratifying and augur well for the suc- cess of Canada’s first war loan. Canada’s war expenditures for next year will be very large. About one thousand dollars per man per annum is calculated as the cost of raising, equipping and maintaining our troops at the front and under arms in Can- ada. In this war this estimate will probably be exceeded on account of the enormous expenditure of ammu- nition and the heavy strain upon ar- â€"â€"vâ€"v tillery and rifles. Canada’s war ex- penditure next year on the basis at a force of two hundred and fifty thou~ sand men will aggregate from two hundred to two hundred and fifty mil. lion dollars. Our interest oharg‘é in connection with this and past war ex- penditure will amount to over fifteen million dollars ner year.

' Surface coats of protection are, how- ever, the favorite methods of today, and many such coatings have appeared lately. The latest one is a metal coat that can- be applied on an iron or steel structure after it has been erected in much the same way that paint is ap- plied. Finely DOWdered metalsâ€"such as tin, lead or zinc, or all three in proper proportionâ€"are mixed in oil and painted on the bride, e or column or other structure that needs protection. Then the painted surface is heated by a hand torch or in whatever way is most convenient. The oil burns away, and the pow: dered metal melts, but does not run. As the metal cools it takes a tight grip on the iron surface and forms a tin or alloy coat, which stops rustâ€"Saturday Evening Post. The gift of speech is a fan- gerous possession.
