What the War is Costing.

An estimate of the money expend-
ed on the European war, recently
made by a New York bank, puts the
daily cost at s105, 100000 for every
day of the conflict, in aggregate of all
the nations engaged. OF this sum
the largest individual portion is be-
ing laid out by Great Britain, with
France next, Germany third and Rus
sia last. Since 1914 the indebted
ness of the seven principal nations
at war has been increased from twen-
ty-seyen to seventy-fve billion dol
lars. If the war should end in 1917,
it is estimated that interest on the
combined debt of the nations par
ticipating will amount to $780,
100000 yearly. The most costly
war previous to this great struggle
was our own civil war, which con-
sumed eight billion dollars. Already
this war has cost six times that I'M
meQS0 Sum dltuouSn IL hNS
one-half the period.
Overwhelming as these figures are'
the loss of life and the wreck OF
bodies is it's most frightful express
sion. Frank H. Simmonds, of the
New York Tribune, who is regarded,
perhaps, as the best American au-
thority on the war, estimates total
of eighteen and half million casual
ties thus far resulting from the war,
of which one-fourth are the toll OF
the dead. Mr.. Simmonds apportlons
these huge losses, ten million to the
principal entente nations, and elght
million to the central empires, with
half a million to the smaller powers
ENGAGED on either side. France, ne
counts as having lost 100000 men,
Russia 5,75O,O00, Great Britain l.
100000 and Italy $4,000. The
eight million losses attributed to tie
central empires he apportions equal
Iy between Germany and Austria.
Giving the aggregate number of dead
as 4,500,OOO, he says that lin word,
the war that broke out over Serbia
has already killed number of men
equal to the whole population of the
little Balkan State"
The casualty lists of Europe, re-
sulting from the present chief en-
ployment of the nations of that con-
tinent exceed probably by million
the number of votes cast today in the
United States in the election of a
president. The treasurer expended
amounts to one-third the entire
wealth of this rich country. Little
wonder, in the face of the stupendous
accounts, that the slogan, HE kept
us out of war;" has been, all in all,
the most powerful argument for the
reelection of President Wilson, which,
without doubt, the American people
have accomplished today.-Charles-

THE LAST SHOT.
Ohio Man Claims He Ended War Of
Secession.

A man is still living in Columbus
who claims to have fired the last shot
of the war of ecession-DaVld
N. Osyer. He was a member of co.
F.. Ninth Ohio Cavalry. On the morn
ing of April II, 1865, that command
was near Durham Station, n. G. 1t
was keeping close watch on Gen. Joe
Wheelers cavalry, which was on the
opposite side of an extensive swamp.
Part of the Union cavalry was order
ed to dismount and wade across the
swamp to distract the Confederates
while the rest constructed a cordu-
row bridge. They used their carbines
so vigorously that the Confederates
surmised that a very considerable
force was coming at them and the
road builders got along fine with
their bridge.
Near the other edge Of the swamp
Osyer says a Confederate bullet just
clipped his sergeant's chevron and
the skin on his arm. Looking Tor
the source of the bullet, he spied the
long barrel of gun and the gray
legs of a Confederate soldier in the
forks of a tree in front of him, and
fg fred at them. He saw the legs
Withdrawn and the owner of them
crawl slowly away.
Just then a flag of truce came IN
sight, and the Union men were oroer-
ed to cease firing. The occurrence,
Osyer says, did not impress him at
the time, but the flag of truce was
really the sign of the end of the
war. that the general surrender
came soon and the troops were sent
home.
A strange part of the story is that
long after the war Osyer met at BIZ
mingham, Ala, man named Amos
Thompson, who was lame and he had
been wounded in the Confederate SER
vice, and, comparing notes, they es-
tablished to the satisfaction of both
that Thompson was the man who
was in the tree on the edge of the
Durham swamp back in 1865, had
shot at Osyer and been shot in turn
by him. Osyer's bullet struck
Thompson in the knee and made him
a cripple for life. They agreed that
thew had fired the very last shot on
each side in the civil war.-Colum-
bus, Ohio, Dispatch.

FLYING IN THE CLOUDS.
Bursting Shrapnel Nearby That Could
Not Be Heard.

Sergt. James Mcconnell, of the
American Escadrille that is fighting
for France, describes, in the Worlds
Work for November, some of the ex-
periences of flying in the clouds:
1--WE were over Belfort and head
ed for the trench lines. The cloud
banks dropped behind, and below US
we saw the smiling pain of Alsace
stretching eastward to the Rhine. 1t
was distinctly pleasurable, flying over
this conquered land. Following the
course of the canal that runs to the
Rhine I sighted, from a height of
$4,000 feet over Dannemarie, a Sc
ries of brown, woodworm-like rae
ings on the ground-the trenches!
MY attention was drawn else
where almost Immediately, however.
Two balls of black smoke had sud-
denly appeared close to one of the
machines ahead of me, and with the
same disconcerting abruptness SINH
lar balls began to dot the sky above,
below and on all sides of US. We
we're being shot at with shrapnel. 1t
was interesting to watch the flash
of the bursting shells, and the at
tendant smoke puffs-black, white.
or yellow, depending on the kind of
shrapnel used. The roar of the en-
CINE drowned the noise of the ex-
plosions. Strangely enough, my feel

like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need a flushing occasionally
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver.
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here.
take a tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so 1t
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia,

take now and then to keep their kid

BILIOUS, HEADACHY,
SICK CASCARETs"
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the In
testines, instead Of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.

WHY DONKEY WAS IN CLOVER
Punishment That Surely Might Be
Classed as "Unusual," Though
Possibly Not "Cruel."

Not very long ago there lived in
England an old man who always rode
on a donkey to his daily work. and
tethered him while he labored on the
roads or wherever else he might be.
1t had been pretty plainly limited to
him by one of the local landowners
that he was suspected of putting it
in the fields to Craze at other peoples
expense.
"Eh. squire. cud ma do SIGH thing,
fer my donkey won't eat nowt but net
ties an thistles."
One day the gentleman was riding
along the road, when he saw the old
fellow at work and the donkey up to
his knees in one of his clover fields
feeding luxuriously.
"Halloa, John!" said he. 81 under.
stood you to say your donkey would
eat nothing but nettles and thistles? p
Aye" said John, "but he's been
misbehavin' hisself, sir. He nearly
kicked me + tn chest just now, so
put him there to punish him!"

TRADE REVIVAL IN
WESTERN CANADA
Not a Myth but an Actually
Shown in the Returns of Az
ricultural Statistics and
Every Department of
Trade and Com
tllerCe.


The trade revival in Manitoba. Sas.
katchewan and Alberta is an actuality
and not a myth. There is TODAY a
spirit OF optimism In the air, Just as
two years ago there prevailed the Cd.
posite spirit Of pessimism.
A general trade revival has been
felt in every department of business in
the Prairie Provinces The agricul-
turists are in better shape than thew
have ever been before in their lives.
NO farmers of any country are in bet
ter financial condition and in a more
general state of prosperity than are
the farmers of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. The farmers have
harvested record crop-a crop which
enriches them to the extent of some
thing over 100000, 900.
In the cities the prosperity of the
country has been reflected. Every
where business is on the hustle. The
wholesalers and the retailers and the
implement dealers find business good.
The banks and other collection houses
ind collections satisfactory, and finan-
cial men declare that westerners are
paying up their debts. In Winnipeg
the bank clearings have been the larg.
est in history, exceeding some weeks
the hgures of Montreal and Toronto.
Inc grain shipments have been the
biggest in the history of Winnipeg and
In the history of the twin ports, Fort
William and Port Arthur. The mail
order houses have had big year, the
rush of fall orders exceeding all previ-
GUS years and taxing the capacity of
these establishments, whose most SAN
guine expectations have been exceeded
by the actual business done.
The tide has turned in western Can
ada. The people of the West are
forging ahead, forging ahead in actual
production and in creation of wealth,
giving generously to charitable and
other funds, paying up their back
debts, while going along carefully as
regards any creation of new debts.
They are economizing but not scrimp-
ing, acting cautiously but not misery.
The financial heads of eastern Canada,
of the United States and of Europe are
no longer criticizing western Canada:
rather they are unstintedly Offering
their praise and their compliments.
The financial press recognizes that
the tide has turned in western Canada,
and it has been published to the world.
The condition of western Canada at
the close Of 1915 is one of optimistic
prosperity, backed by the same deter
mination Of western people to go on
increasing their productiveness and
maintaining the records which they
have already established.
The trade revival of western Canada
is the happiest feature in the business
survey of the whole Dominion for 1915
and in the outlook for 1916.--Adver.

Wash away all the stomach, ffV-

fore breakfast.

breath or dull your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside. This is vastly
more important, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says a well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, glass of hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen.
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get quarter pound OF limestone
phosphate from your druggist or at
the store. 1t is inexpensive and al
most tasteless, except ? sourish
tinge which is not unpleasant. Drink
phosphated hot water every morning

sons and toxins; also to prevent their

Harm Done by Hertzlan Waves.


Ever since the extensive commercial
employment of wireless telegraph.
there have been many who believe
that the powerful Hertzian waves SCI
riously affect organic life. In fact.
some have even suggested that laws
or regulations should be enacted to
protect organic life against wireless
waves. With a view to determining
the extent and nature of the radio
waves influence on organic life and
climate. Dr. c. Abel-Musgrave recent.
ly asked several questions on the sub
ject to be answered by a number of
prominent German scientists. The
summary of their answers was that
wireless waves have no influence ON
organic life, nor do they alter climatic
conditions, although it is true that
certain electrical stresses are capable
of accelerating rainfalls.
