4 NATIONAL IMMORTALITY.
(From the Montreal Witness.

Law or no law, the refusal of the
Canadian government to admit into the
country the wives of British citizens
resident in Canada Is, apart from any
conceivable results. a miserable blot on
the honor of Canada as a British nation.
a denial Of the most primary of human
rights, and a breach OF imperial loyalty.
What imperial mischief might result
from such n humiliation heaped upon
proud and self-respectng race to whose
native indefeasible loyalty the empire
has owed its salvation. II is not for the
most daring statesman to attempt to
compute. This exclusion of mems wives
is far worse in principle than the exclu-
sion OF the men themselves. for God
made men and women to dwell together
II is q greater slight upon the race affect
ed and a greater mischief to society. We
cannot see how the principle of law can
be ignored that womans domicile Is
that Of her husband. a law that pre-
tends to assail that principle assails the
foundations OF society.
But we have only to look beyond our
little horizon-for vast as our territory
is. our outlook Is very parochial-and
ask ourselves what may he the effect in
Asia OF such a British insult to the
one race whose British loyalty has been
active. and principle of life transcend
ing all other. We have seen an empire
of three hundred millions made up OF
many peoples and languages Transforming
itself In q month or two at word OF
command from none knew where. We
do not regard the same thing as ever
remotely probable in India. chiefly be-
cause we believe the Indian peoples are
| loyal TO the present rule and will be sc
as long as the British policy is to give
india self-government and her people

THE HUMANE SOCIETY.

This society Is now well on It's twelfth
year Of beneiicent activity. Hitherto it
has been financed chiefly by benevolent
ladies', some of whom have made liberal
subscriptions; others have raised none

etc. Mrs. Bert Waterman has been
especially effective in this work, and others
have given freely of both time and money.
IL we lived under the laws OF Colorado,

voluntary organization to make It certain
that domestic animals would be treated

READING IN BED
Not Injurious to the Eyes if Few
Simple Rules Are Observed.


To those addicted to the practice Of
reading in bed the remarks of Dr. Carl
Seller will be Of interest. He states that
there is no valid reason to be urged
against using the eyes in a proper man
ner in A recumbent position-such use Is
the least tiresome and can be persisted
in for longer periods without damage
than any other position.
We all know that grave damage is often
done by reading in a recumbent posture
but therein possibly some oculists are at
fault Had II been the universal prac-
tice during the last % or 30 wears to give
careful directions how to read lying down
instead of saying to one and all. You
must not read lying down" there would
be less near sight and better eyes IN the
community than now exist.
Three easily avoided errors cause all
the harm possible from reading lying
down, the first often leading 10 the other
two They are insufficient or wrongly
directed light, short reading distance. and
tipping the book out of plane at right
angles to the line of vision
If. however, everyone reading lying
down will so arrange his lounge or bed
that the light comes over the mead
without striking the eyes, and falls well
upon the page; II he will hold his hook
at long reading distance and take care
that the line OF letters shall be at right
angles to the line of vision he can he
sure of doing his eyes no more harm thah
| if he were sitting up,
More than this. there is much positively
| in favor of reading lying down. Or
| Seller concludes: 1.-The recumbent pos
| ture allows more rest OF the bodily stuc
lures than the sitting posture, and Their
Is greater possibility OF resting and re
| pair in that position.

With golden comb she combs it.

With melody most powerful

Advantage of Panama Route.

"Nor will a toll of s1.2O per net ton
seriously restrict the use of the canal by
European countries. For the commerce
of Europe with Chile and with New
Zealand, the fuel expenses via Panama
will be so much less than via Magellan
as to make the canal route preferable,
even with tolls of 81. % per net ton. More
over. the profitable trade route between
Europe and Chile is via Panama and
the ports intermediate between the 18TH
mus and Valparaiso. Panama is the nat
ural entrance and exit for the west coast
South American trade.
1.-THE normal growth Of the traffic of
the Panama canal will not be interfered
with by a toll of S1.2O per net ton. The
tolls in the SueZ canal at the opening of
the decade were $1.74 per net ton, and in
1911 81 1.3O-a higher rate than is recon-
mended for Panama. 1t is suggested
that the tolls at Panama start with the
relatively low rate to which the Suez
charges will have been brought in 1913.

AUTO TO CARRY RELIGION.
Chapel Car Of Catholic Church Will
Do Missionary Work.

CHICAGO. November 14.-The con-
struction of an automobile chapel car to
carry religion to remote parts Of the
country where there are neither churches
nor railroads is the latest step under
taken by the Catholic Church Extension
Society Of the United States.
Very Rev. Francis c. Kelley. who made
the announcement here last night said
that the car would be called ''St. Christie
pher.''
"St. Christopher has been selected as
the patron saint of antomobilists." he
said, due to the fact that he early en-
gagged in the transportation business,
having been a ferryman."
The automobile. the order for which has
already been placed, will be twelve feet
long and as wide as an ordinary truck.
1t will contain an altar. will carry all
of the sacred vessels used in the cele-
bra ton Of mass and will have sleeping
accommodations for two persons tent
will be carried and will be raised about
the chapel car to shelter the congregation
during the mass. -
The car, early in January. will be sent
into the territory where 1t is to do serv-
ice, probably southwestern Texas.

Toll on War Vessels.

In the Presidents proclamation the
rate upon war vessels was fixed at so
cents displacement ton, and Prof. John
son had this comment to make:
"The toll upon merchant vessels should
be fixed low enough to enable the Pan
anna canal effectively to promote the
commerce of the United States and the
world, but the United States government
is not called upon to make the Panama
canal tolls upon warships low for the pur-
pose of tightening the naval burdens of
foreign countries. In sending their war
ships through the Panama canal foreign
nations should pay tolls high enough to
cover costs and risks incurred by the ca
nal authorities in performing the service
rendered"
