DECLARE
BAN ON LUXUR|ES
Drastic Order Forced BY Lack
of Shipping Facilities THE
American Export Trade to
Suffer Consequences.

London. March 2O.-A far reaching
order in council. which will totally pro-
hibit importation into the United King
dom of a large number of articles which
come under the general heading of
'luxuries" will be issued by the British
government at an early date.
Among the things which will be
placed under the ban will be automo-
biles for private use, musical instru-
ments, cutlery of all kinds, hardware,
yarns, chinaware, fancy goods and
soaps. The order will apply equally
to all countries, including the British
dominion and colonies.
Hurts ". S. Trade.
This forecast of the coming order in
council was given to he Associated
Press IN an interview by Walter Rum
oman. president of the board of trade.
Mr.. Runciman admitted that articles
in addition to those named would be
placed on the list of prohibited imports,
but in a of the issuance of the
order he decline to say what they are.
He agreed that the decree would ave
considerable effect on exports from the
United States, but pointed out that it
applied to all countries alike and de-
clared it was absolutely to limit the
shipment of bulky luxuries in order to
provide room in ships for n~ecessaries
But please remember" said Mr..
Runciman, that the issuance Of this
order is forced on the country not as a
matter of policy, but entirely because
of shortage in tonnage. We want x-
ports from the United States. We
want your wheat, cotton and meat, and
we need other things which we cannot
| get If the space aboard vessels is aiken
up with luxuries.
Shortage Of Ships.
Everything possible is being done
to relieve the shortage in ships. Every
ship flying the British flag is now con
trolled by the government. Immense
numbers of them have been requisi-
toned; others are subject to direction
by way of licenses. Whether it will be
necessary to requisition more vessels
l cannot say. but for my part l hope
| this u,'ll not be DONE"
Mr.. Punciman said the importation
Of some fresh fruits probably would be
prohibited later, but he pointed out
that this would affect the United States
only slightly. Turning from the matter
of imports to the general Industrial sit
uation in the British isles, Mr.. Runci-
man said there never had been greater
activity in the larger industries. that
wages were higher h ever before
end that the percentage Of unemployed
never had been SO small in the history
of the country.

Figures Show Result Of Work Done by
the National Antituberculosis
Society.

AS an Indication of the growth OF
the campaign against tuberculosis, the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis shows
that in 1905, when the campaign was
definitely started, there were in the
United States only thirty-nine anti
tuberculosis associations, 115
toria and hospitals, twenty special
clinics, no open-air schools, and not
more than 5000 people actively inter-
ested in the prevention of this disease.
At the close of the year 1916 there
were over 1900 anti-tuberculosis ass0-
Citations, 600 sanatoria and hospitals.
$50 dispensaries, 800 open-air schools
and over 100000 people actively inter-
ested in the prevention of tuberculosis.
Besides this, the fundamental truths
that tuberculosis is q communicable,
%preventable and durable disease have
been carried into almost every vii
lage and hamlet and to millions of
men, women and children in q great
variety of ways.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis,

HIGH PRICES
GOOD CROPS
And Good Demand for All Farm
Products.

1t is no new experience for settlers
located in a fertile country such as
Western Canada, where lands may be
bought at very reasonable prices, to
harvest a crop that in one season pays
the entire cost Of their farm. Undoubt-
eddy this was the experience of many
farmers during 1915, but one instance
may be quoted. A settler who came
to Canada from the United States
some years ago decided to add to his
holdings by buying an adjoining quar-.
ter section ear his home at Warner,
at $4,000 an acre, with terms spread
over a period of years. He got the
land into a good state of cultivation
and last spring put the whole quarter
section in wheat. When the crop was
threshed he found that it only took
half the wheat on the farm to pay the
whole purchase price Of it; in short
a single years crop paid the cost of
the land, paid all the expenses of op-
Grafton and left him a handsome sur
plus as profit. This settler had some
adjoining land, and his whole wheat

over $4,000 bushels. He is now plan
ming to obtain some sheep and invest
his profits in live stock which will as
sure him a good living irrespective Of
what the season may happen to be.
Canada's financial position is ex
cellent. All speculation has been elm
mated, and trading is done on a cash
basis, with restricted credit.
Detailed figures Of Canada's trade
for twelve months ending October 81
show how the war is forcing Canadian
trade into new channels. One of the
most extraordinary changes is in COM
merce with the United States. A
couple Of years ago Canada imported
from the United States two or three
hundred million dollars worth of
goods more than she exported. The
balance Of trade was all with the
United States. The balance is rapid
ly disappearing, and the present out
look is that by the end Of this year
Canada will have exported to the
ported.
The figures for the past four years
are Illuminating. They are as fol.
lows:
Exports. Imports.

-Four years ago, in 1912, the balance
of trade in favor Of the United
States was no less than two hundred
and s%ixty-seven millions, and this
year. the balance is reduced to only
thirty-two millions. The figures are
extraordinary and reflect the changed
and new conditions in Canada. 1t
looks as if for the first time in nearly
half a century this year Canada will
sell more to the United States than
she will buy from the Americans
