WINNIPEG HAS BIG
POPULATION GAIN

Ottawa, Sept. 25.-The results Of
the quinquennial census OF the prairie
provinces taken last June by a large
staff employed by the census depart
ment will be announced within a few
days. The population figures are now
practically completed and will be is
sued IN installments, giving first the
populations Of the rural districts
While no definite figures are yet
available for publication, it Is under
stood that the general results show
that there has been increase in the
total population In the three prairie
provinces despite the drain Of the
war, and the effect of the CONNER
cial depression Of two years ago.
The increase, however, is small
compared with the big increase of
the preceding five years when settlers
were pouring into the west and every
thing was booming. Among the cities
Winnipeg shows the largest increase
in population.

POPE BENEDICTs HEALTH.

Rome. Sept. 25.-A report having
been circulated that Pope Benedict
was indisposed, it was said at the
Vatican today that the health of the
pope was normal. notwithstanding
the strain imposed by his arduous
labors during the war. which have
added greatly to the burden of the
administration Of the church under
ordinary conditions The pontiff re-
ceived seven persons in private audi
ence today and several hundred in a

The truth is that democracy, and
especially a we'll fed democracy, will
not consent to waste time in the half
idle and almost wholly vacuous life
that Is soldiers lot in peace time.
A comparatively few can be found to
do it, but the endeavor to keep q
standing army Of any size does not
appeal to the people.
The United States must follow the
British plan of establishing a large
navy which will insure safety from in
vasion and give time for getting to-
gether an army when the need arises
All they require on land Is nucleus
for training purposes and for extraor-
dinary police work on occasion.

TREE ON "HENRY VII"

teresting his records Of the manners
and customs prevailing In that COM

history.
"In the days OF Henry VIII. the
ways OF society differed from u own
more in observance than in spirit.
Though the gay world danced and
gamblod very late they rose very
early. Their conversation was coarse
and lacked reserve. The ladies cursed

were considered OF the utmost impor-

court society spent the greater part of
their income on clothes. To those in
the Kings set $1,000 was nothing out
Of the way to spend on a su!t OF
clothes. The predominant color Of

Tudor colors. of course were green
and white. Tn" possession and dis
