Wasting Public Money

Regard For Economy As
"Individuals

There are at all times many things
that cities would like to have or do
that they really cannot afford. It.is
foolish to talk about, and much more
foolish to demand, economy unless
cities, states and the nation are pre-
pared to follow the rule followed by
sensible individuals and do without
things that are beyond their means.
He who does not govern his life thus
is Idoked on either as a foolish man
ora yulgarian. There will or cannot
be economy, or anything resembling
it, till public officiAls are as industrious
and ingenious in finding ways not to
spend money as they are in finding
ways to spend it—Indianapolis News.

‘Some Things aeieapers Forget

Remarkable Collection of Articles In
Lost Property Sale sf,

The forgetfulness of railway trayel-

Southwestern Railway and sold by
auction at Waterloo Station, London.

The items included one ice cream
barrow with rubber tires, a small twill
bathing tent, two bottles of whisky,
35 bottles of port, 43 bottles of cider,
and a bottle of invalid wine.

Other lots out of the ordinary were

paid only on finished or semi-finished
products. The perishability of many
kinds of farm produce also precludes
the profitable raising of this preduce
at great distances from market—and
‘thus restricts the variety of the pro-
duce of a farming district not within
easy access to a cannery or packing
plant. The prairie proyinces have
shown by their prize winnings at in-

“| ternational exhibitions that they can

raise a great variety of vegetables in
‘competition with other parts of the
continent. Were it possible for the
farmers of these proyinces to dispose
of their vegetables to canneries or
sugar factories located strategically
through, the producing districts there
is no doubt that they would be able to
work up a large and profitable busi-
ness in other soil products than
cereals. The broader the basis upon

English Girl Has
Extraordinary Job

Has Charge of Rats Kept For Experi-
ment At Cambridge University

The Pied Piper of Hamelin has a
feminine rival. She is Miss Ruby
Leader, who has charge of 200 rats,
kept for experimental purposes at the
hew biochemical laboratory at Cam-
bridge Univeisity, which has just been
formally opened by the Earl of Bal-
four. d

“I have been in charge of the rats
for the -past six months,” she said.
“I have always been fond of animals,
and do not see why one should treat
rats differently Trom any others. They
are intelligent and amusing creatures.”

Miss Leader's duties consist of feed-
ing the rats with a special diet pre-
seribed by the authorities, who are
using them for experiments to deter-
mine the effects on the system of var-
ious vitamines.

_She weighs each rat every five days,
and keeps a full report of the condi-
tion of the 200. Some are fat and
some are thin, but they all frolic about
happily.

“Many people tsink that mine is an
extraordinary job for a woman,” said
Miss Leader, “but I think it is much
more extraordinary that certain wo-
men should have such a ridiculous
horror of rats.”

The submarine V-1, twice as large

The new submarine, designed to ac-

first ofa flotilla of nine authorized in

THE CAUSE OF SICKNESS

Almost Always Due to Weak and
Impoverished Blood

Apart from accident or illness due
to infection, almost all ill-health arises
from one or two reasons. The mis-
take that people make is in not real-
izing that both of these have the same
cause at the root, namely poor blood.
Either bloodlessness or some other
trouble of the nerves will be found to
be the reason for almost every ail-
ment. If you are pale, suffering from
headaches. or breathlessness, with pal-
pitation of the heart, poor appetite
and weak digestion, the cause is al-
most always poor blood. If you have
neryous headaches, neuralgia, scia-
tica and other nerve pains, the cause
is exhausted nerves. But run-down
neryes are also a result of poor blood,
so that the two chief causes of illness
are one and the same.

If your health is poor; if you are
pale, neryous or dyspeptic, you should
give Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a fair
trial. These pills act directly on the
blood, and by enriching it give new
strength to worn-out nerves. Men
and women aliké~ greatly benefit
through the use of this medicine. If
you are weak or ailing, give Dr. Wil-
liams’ Pink Pills a fair trial and you
will be pleased with the beneficial re-
sults that will speedily follow. -

If your dealer does not kéep these
pills you can get them by mall at 50
cents a box from The Dr. Williams’
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

3 Conquers Rockies With Ease

Gigantic Electric Locomotive
Come Through Severe Test

The electrification of railroads is
one of the developments in trans-
portation which may not be so very
far in the future. At all events Amer-
ican railroads are taking some steps
in that direction, and there recently
has been sent on an exhibition tour
the gigantic electric locomotive which
has been built by the Chicago, Mil-
waukee and St. Paul Railway. Its
size and its power have literally, it is
said, opened the eyes of a multitude
in the eastern and middle Atlantic
states. After going through Michi-
gan, Illinois, Ohio, parts of Pennsyl-
vania and New ou “the conqueror
of the Rockies” is on the homeward
stretch passing through New Jersey,
Delaware, Marytand, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana. _

It is so large that it could not clear
the tunnels on the New York Central
Hudson River‘line, and itycould not
be taken into New York City or New
England becaus2 of bridge and tunnel
clearances. The locomotive is 76
feet long and weighs 265 tons. It
has 28 wheels, mounted on 14 axles,
and is driven by 12 motors. It can
haul a heavy steel passenger train ot
12 cars at the rate of 65 miles an hour,
and it conquers the stiff grades of the
Rocky and Cascade mountain ranges
with ease. Zero weather and west-
ern blizzards cause it little concern.
The President of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & St. Paul says:

“Our electrification has been test-
ed by the worst winter in the memory
of modern railroads in North America.
There were times last winter when
eyery steam locomotive was frozen,
but the electric locomotive went right
along. Electrification has in eyery
way exceedéd our expectations.”

Proof of the economy of electrifica-
tion in every direction is overwhelm-
ing. It is expected the first step in
Canada toward substituting electricity
for steam on a lazge scale will be tak-
en by the C.P.R. on its mountain sec-
tion. The experience of the Chi-
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul in corres-
ponding tefritory in the United States
seems to have dispelled all doubts—

When Prince Visits Alberta Ranch He

The Prince of Wales, whose com-

Alberta ranch in the fall. He finds
there a chance to forget brides and
thrones; he can plant potatoes and
‘pitch hay beneath the pleasing fiction
of his incognito like any hired man on
the payroll. And evidently he intends
to continue commuting overseas till
his roving commission expires and he

Wembley Exhibition Greatest Show
Of Its Kind in History

The Wembley ‘air is described,
without contradiction from the out-
side, as the greatest show of its
kind in history, Its cost is estimated
at $200,000,000. It covers an area of
220 acres, or more than one-fourth
the area of Ceniral Park. Thirty
million visitors are expected. But
the exposition is not out of scale with
the interests it represents. Behind it
is an Empire of thirteen and a quarter
million square miles with a population
of nearly four hundred and fifty mil-
lions. - And it is obviously a growing
concern. The area of the Empire
is larger than it was at the outbreak
of the war. The increase in popula-
tion has been less than twenty mil-
lions, but a very large part of the new
territories, now yirtually yacant of
