Based on data from eighty three
electric railways covering every state
in the country, it is calculated that
from 1904 to 1914 taxes on such prop
critics increased CO.'S per cent, while
in the same period operating revenue
increased by only 69-7 per cent. In
1904, 5.975 per cent of operating reve-
nues were paid in taxes, and 1914,
6.717 per cent. The increase in taxes
on steam railroads has been even
more rapid. In 1904 the roads paid
taxes aggregating $63,474,679, and in
1914, $3.50, 371,1OO, an increase of 1869
per cent. The growth in net revenues
in the period was equal to only 22.4
per cent.

The Euening Story
The Long lane.
(By Catherine Creamery

Tom Whiteford, once known among
his friends the gay and light
hearted, began to feel that his way of
life lay through the proverbial long
Ian that has no turning. Further
more, it seemed that behind evey mile
post by the roadside there lurked some
form of hard luck. Just at the tine
when his business prospects seemed to
justify his proposing to the dearest
girl in the world, otherwise known as
Betty Underwood, the war scare
knocked him out of two of his biggest
advertising contracts: a big firm at
the last minute switched its contract
to his least suspeo led competitor, and
just as he had cinched the contract
for gigantic mail order campaign for

London, Jan. 23.-At the suggestion

Christian Association, which has been
active in various ways at the battle
fronts, is preparing to extend its WORK
and is to establish so-called free
lunch counters" mounted on wagons
that can be drawn from point to point.
Steaming hot tea and coffee and
rations of soup will be dealt out to
soldiers tramping to and from the
trenches, and special efforts will be
made to furnish the soldiers who have
been slightly wounded but still are
able to walk and thus can get to the
wagons.
1t is expected that a lunch wagon
can safely be stationed at crossroads,
at reasonable distance in the rear of
the firing line,- and that much may be
done to restore the vitality of the
men that rs been lowered by the
rigors of winter weather.

BIG GUNS DO NOT
AFFECT HEARING
(By Associated Press.)

Berlin, Jan. 23.-The normal ear IS
not affected in any noticeable degree
by the noises of even the heaviest ar
tillery, according to conclusions based
upon a long study of artillerymen, by
a Berlin ear specialist.
OF 81 artilerists observed for long
period by this specialist, none exhibit
ed any objective symptoms, and only
four complained of subjective injuries,
mainly ringing in the head" In in
vestigations covering a whole year,
only one case of burst eardrum was
found.
The ordinary recruit, who serves
only two years in peace times in the
heavy artillery, but rarely incurs any
lasting injury to his ears, officers who
have served many years not infre-
quently leave the service with chronic
partial deafness or ringing in the ears.
Investigation appears to show. how
ever, that these sufferers did not have
normal organs when they enlisted.

TO SEND MEDICAL CORPS.

Montreal, Que, Jan. 23-McGill Uni
versity is putting the finishing touches
on its medical contribution to the Eu-
ropean war. In April fully equipped
field hospital of surgeons and student
assistants will go to the front. The
medical college course has been short
ened so that an early start may be
made, and Immediately after the
course ends the expedition of mercy
will embark. There will be Fl officers
all drawn from the university, and all
of whom must be qualified medical
men as well as military officers.
The McGill hospital will be estab-
lished at point some fifty miles from
the firing line, with accommodations
for $40 patients. The total staff will
consist of 210 persons, including 40
nurses. The equipment will be such
that in time of emergency from 700 to
800 patients may be dealt with. The
hospital will care for wounded soldiers,
all sick men being sent to the base
hospitals. A complete camp outfit will
be carried, so that the hospital may be
covered with canvas. The Canadian
government, through Premier Borden
and General Samuel Hughes. is great
ly interested in the plan, and will sup
ply the equipment. Principal Peter
son, Professors Adami and Birkett,
compose the committee which is ar
ranging the McGill hospital squad.

PAPERS DISAPPEAR

creased advertising revenue arising
out of the. war, PIP German newspa.
pers are already said to have disap,
peared. At least half that number

says the Globe.
These facts supply the strongest
imaginable comment on the common
fallacy that this war is profitable to

fact, the reverse is the case
"A modern newspaper is an exceed
ingly complex organization, and the
purchaser obtains for a penny or half
penny publication which costs more
than that sum to produce. The ex-
PLANTATION is to be found in the profits
derived from advertising revenue,
with the result when that decreases
below certain point, a paper is run
at a loss on production, which in
creases with the increase of circula
ton.

Halifax, N. s., Jan. 22.-According
to advices received here the French
residents of the islands of st. Pierre
and Miquelon have modified their
army. The two little islands belong
to France, and the entire population
is only 5000. Some 1900 patriots
are ready to enter the European war,
but their dependents are praying that
their services will not be neeoed, for,
the source of food and revenue is
from the fishing banks, and great
suffering would come from the aged,
the women and children IL this supply
is suddenly cut off. Although the
forces at St. Pierre and Miquelou
form the smallest army in America,
they are not lacking in enthusiasm
and welcome a chance to fight the
foes of France.

DEATH RATE DECLINING.

London, Jan. 20. - Comparing the
past year with that of fourteen years
ago. the infant death rate in London
has declined 20 per cent; deaths form
measles 80 per cent, scarlet fever 81
per cent, whooping cough 81 per cent
diptheria 55 per cent, tuberculosis 2S,
pneumonia II and bronchitis 81 per
cent. From all causes, the percentage
of deaths counting adults, children and
infants has declined rs per cent dur
ing this period.
The increased facilities for the dag
nosis of disease by laboratories, the
destruction of rodents and care taken
against infection is the low death rate
attributable.
