BUSINESS GOOD
IN CANADA
No Financial Depression, and
None Since the War Began.

A well-known correspondent Of an
Important Western daily paper recent.
ly made an extended visit to Western
Canada. and In summing up the re-
suits, after going thoroughly into con-
dltions there, says there IS no financial
depression In Canada, nor has there
been anything Of the sort since the
war began. Anyone who has watched
the barometer Of trade, and seen the
bank clearlngs Of the different cities
grow and continue TO grow will have
arrived at the same conclusion. The
trade statistics reveal like situation.
The progress that the farmers are
making Is highly satisfactory. AS this
correspondent says: ut is true there
have been adaptations TO meet new
conditions, and taxes have been re-
vised, and that very large burden of
added expense In many lines has been
assumed, but 1t has all been done me-
thodlcally, carefully and with full re-
gard for the resources to be called on.
"That this has been done fairly and
wisely Is proved by the present COM
Portable financial position.
with the exception OF a restricted
area In the east, Canada Is not an In
dustrlal country. The greater portion
of the Dominion must be classed as
agricultural area, with only an infini-
tesimal part of 1t fully developed.
Lacking complete development, the
agricultural portion OF Canada has
naturally placed its main dependence
upon fewer resources than would be
the case In the States. Even In peace
times, business would be subject to
more frequent and wider fluctuations
due to the narrower foundation upon
which II rests.
"Thus, Canada has been able to
come up to the war with efficiency end
sufficiency and to maintain and even
advance Its civilian activities.
"Canada's first element of financial
strength lay In It's branch bank sys-
TEN. This system has two great adj
vantages: 1t makes the financial re-
sources of the Dominion fald so that
supplies of capital can run quickly
from the high spots to the low spots |;
also 1t places at the command Of each
Individual branch the combined re-
sources Of the whole institution so
that there is an efficient safeguard
against severe strain at any one
point.
''Here in Winnipeg, the all-Canada
banking houses maintain big, strong
branches and, as elsewhere 70 .ar
Dominion, these held to an attitude Of
saneness and solidity that prevented
even the start of any financial dig
turbance.
That business generally is now 0Ssa.
ing strong on an even keel is largely
due to the absolute refusal of the
banks, both branch and Independent,
to exhibit the slightest signs of ex-
element or apprehensiveness.
"For all Canada the savings bank
figures are astonishing. Beginning with
1913. they are, for the fiscal year end

Correct Standing Posture.

An excellent way to secure the cor.
rect standing posture is to stand with
the back to the wall, with the heels,
hips, back, shoulders and head touch
ing, keeping the hips and heels
against the wall. Bend the head back
ward as far as possible until the
face is up, pushing the shoulders and
chest forward at the same time. Keep
the chest in the new position and
draw the head forward and the chin
down until the eyes look straight for
ward. If the heels ard hips are
against the wall, the body will be in
good natural standing position. If
you will compel yourself to constantly
stand in this position for two or three
months you will probably have formed
the habit, but it calls for attention at
the beginning.
Don't use braces, shoulder crutches
and abdominal belts, for by this you
add to the trouble and reap a SLOUGH
ing crop Of shoulders. No one carries
much self respect in this
But listen. You do this all right
during the day. Well and good so
far. Now. if you use high pillows, big
enough to make a trundle bed mat
tress, and lay down to sleep there
eight hours day or one-third Of your
life, you can't expect to correct very
much. Use very small lead rest
and sleep with your head in straight
line with the rest of the body.

GLASS OF SALTS

If your Back hurts or Bladder

tract Keep your kidneys clean like
you keep your bowels clean, by flush
ing them with mild, harmless salts
which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their
normal activity. The function of the
kidneys is to filter the blood. In "a
hours they strain from it 500 grains
of acid and waste, SO we can readily
understand the vital Importance OF
keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast each
morning for a few days and your
kidneys will act fine. This famous

and lemon juice, combined with

MANY NURSES
ARE ENROLLED
$1,000 Have Joined Red cross and
Steps are Being Taken to
Secure Others for
Service.

Fifteen thousand nurses have al
ready been enrolled by the American
Red Cross. many of whom have
volunteered for war service, accord
ing to statement made public at
Red Cross headquarters. About 1000
have already been sent to Europe.
1t is estimated that the present regis
tered force is sufficient to care for
an army of a million and a half, and
approximately a thousand nurses are
being added monthly.
1T is of the greatest Importance
that able and educated young women
should be urged to enter the regular
training schools and take the usual
course in order to fit themselves
fully for nursing" said Miss Jane A.
Delano, chairman of the national
committee on nursing service.
while our present needs are being
met, the burden of the war will in
crease rapidly. 1t is highly desir-
able that the ablest, most expert
enced nurses should be released for
service behind the lines, and con-
slant supply of younger nurses,
thoroughly trained, will allow these
older women to leave their posts in
this country without danger to our
own sick"
The national committee is also
enrolling public health nurses with
view to protecting them from SER
vice as bedside nurses, where their
special training would not be fully
utilized. 9Yt y,
The Red Cross requirements for
nurses have been somewhat modified
in order that, if needed, thousands
of additional nurses may be made
eligible for enrollm ent with the
American Red Cross and available
for call should the necessity arise.
The principal change contemplated
is to reduce the lower age limit for
specially qualified nurses and to
place on the eligible list training
schools for nurses which are recon-
mended by state boards of registra-
ton" even though the schools have
daily average of somewhat less
than the required fifty patients.
In order to increase further the
available supply of nurses the schools
for nurses giving three-year course
may be requested to advance the
date Of graduation of pupil nurses.
