There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local rene
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment. pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven Eatarrh to be
constitutional disease. and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

reason for appointing all three mem

board from Newport 1t would not
have seemed out of place to have a

Quebec's Threat of Revolt.

'The French of Quebec will go the
limit in opposing conscription and |
will support Them" the expression of
L. P. Gauthier in the Dominion Par
lament, cannot we'll be misunder-
stood by Premier Borden. 1t was lis
tened to without a protest by former
Premier Sir Wilfred Laurier. The
meaning is nothing less than armed
revolt.
Clearly the task that the Premier
has set for himself in undertaking to
put through a conscription measure
before the expiration of the statu-
tory life of Parliament is a difficult
one That he will carry it through is
likely. Canada has sent to the front
about 400 900 men, a marvellous
showing for a total population con-
siderably less than that of the state
of New York, but the French Canadi-
ans have not volunteered in due pro-
portion and it is proposed to draft the
slackers.
Quebec couldn't resist the British
empire long. But the moral effect of
bloodshed there would be unpleasant
and London would regret it. Concil-
iation is still possible. Laurier and
his followers demanda referendum on
CONSUMPTION. That may be granted,
but it could have only one outcome.
| AS a whole the Dominion stands with
Borden for drastic policy.-Brook-
Ign Eagle.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Second Term for Gov. Graham

AS to political results of his with
drawal from political activities we
think it best they should be withheld
for the present. 1t is known that for
mer Lieut.. Gov. F. <. Howe, G. II.
Darling of Burlington, Redfeld Proc
tor and others have been mentioned
for the governorship in 1918. They
are all good men but the country is
at war and unusually large and heavy
duties rest upon the governor as re-
suit. Unless the war is ended before
then the people may think it wise to
continue Gov. Horace F. Graham, who
has met the critical situations of the
opening of the war so promptly and
ably in office during the existence of
the war.-St. Johnsbury Caledonian.
"Give until 1t Feels Good"
e. j. Tyler of Enosburg Falls,
speaking at a Red Cross meeting in
Bakersfield recently, contributed
about as good a slogan as one could
possibly find: He said that GIVE IN
til it hurts" is all very well, but
thought it might be improvedupon by
making it read, "Give until it feels
good" There is a wealth of Chris
tan philosophy hidden in that brief
sentence. There is a JOY in giving
a goodly feeling in (which to some
will come after the hurting point has
been reached and passed. A man who
makes a sacrifice for such a noble
cause as the Red Cross will inevitably
feel good about it. He can't help it.
The consciousness of having per-
formed a generous act warns the
heart 1t is more blessed to give
than to receive And there is this
much to it. The individual who has
refused to give, if he were able to do
so, must feel miserable about it down
deep in his own heart. IF he does he
is only thinking about himself the
same way his neighbors think about
| him.-St. Adams Messenger.

Canada's Insurance Prosperity.


With thousands of men off to the
French front and still more going at
intervals, four of the leading life in
surance companies of the dominion
wrote more business in 1916 than IN
1914, the year when the war began,
and largely increased their reserves
and SURPRISES. The amount of bust
ness the four do in the United States
is negligible Business as usual
would be a mild way of expressing
the prosperity of the life insurance
concerns of Canada, If the reports Of
these four companies show the gen
eral trend.
One company in 1914 wrote only
$16,O00,000 in new insurance, and in
1916, $23,000,000. Tt increased it's re-
serves from something over $55, 000,-
900 to more than ST., 100000. It en-
larged its surplus from $6,000,000 to
S8,000,000. And this record is not an
outstanding or especially exceptional
Die one
The fact of timely interest in Amer
lea in connection with these reports
is that the Canadian companies have
tackled from $500 to $500 per 1000
of insurance on to the annual pre-
miums charged recruits who go
abroad, as most of the recruits do. IF
the life insurance concerns of Canada
can record a degree of progress like
this, it is difficult to see what Ameri-
can companies have to fear in the
event of active warfare in Europe.
The extra premium established by
American companies varies from the
minimum of $3.50 Thousand, agreed
to by several companies, to 500, the
fee several of the large concerns have
fixed. Certain companies have ar
ranged for rebates in case their re
sources permit, and mutual compan-
les would do so more or less automat-
ically.
Judging by the Dominion's expert
ence, the American companies would
be entirely safe in cutting the extra
annual premium rate to the minimum
figure, especially as more business
would naturally be attracted in that

PROTESTS DISAPPEARING

Despite the fact that Pope Benedict's peace proposal was couched along the line of expression heard since congress declared war from the League to Enforce Peace; an organization com posed of pacifists: it is gratifying to know that the leaders now recognize no world peace can be made effective until the members of Prussianism is removed. In concluding telegram to PreSi- dent Wilson recently they declared ''The League to Enforce Peace therefore urges the vigorous prosecution of the war until Prussian miftarism is destroyed either by allied force or the uprising ofa German democracy Having reached that conclusion. the members of the League necessar- ilr must recognize that to win; all Americans must help fight the war. And, having conceded their purpose is at one with that of the nation Their duty now is to give no divided effort, but to align themselves with the government and cheerfuly accept the service required of each loyal citizen.
 Among those who have opposed the war: some have willingly seen the error of their ways. while others have been forced into recognizing the necessity of behaving themselves. among the latter are the I.

THE KEY OF PEACE.

AS President Wilson has said "Our purpose in this war are known to every people to whom the truth has been permitted to come" The United States entered the war without desire for gain and has disclaimed any intention to make an economic war after the struggle on land and sea is over. The door is open to the German people, but in any peace move, the United States shall first demand evidence that the German peoples control the government instead of the government controlling the peoples. Specially a one-man government. There shall be no "scrap of paper peace.

NO CAUSE FOR WORRY

The winter is still long way of yet We can hear lamenting about the anticipated hard times the next six months. And longer if the war lasts longer. This leads one to inquire What business is the war affecting? Or. in what way is the war affecting business? If the war is affecting business at all it is boosting up. All sumner long labor was SO scarce that many businesses suffered and when labor could be had exhorbitant wages were paid. and labor is still
 short nearly everywhere. When labor is short business is good; because everybody is earning.

considering the increased price for canned fish, canneries have done well.

there will be growing demand upon
the Imperial Irrigation District canal
for water to be used in Mexico. The
only limit set upon this demand, as
matters stand at present, is that it
may not exceed one-half of the wa
ter covered by the Mexican conces-
sion, which means onehalf of the ca
nails water. Unless some authority
higher than the Imperial Irrigation
District lin which the present high
state of development must be as
cribed in part at least to operation
under the Mexican concession), sets
limit to the quantity of water which
may be delivered to Mexican canals,
there may in time be double service
required of the Imperial main canal
There is, therefore, the possibility
that there will in time be some &c.,
coo acres of land irrigated south of
our boundary line as an offset to

Irrigation District boundaries.
Early Understanding With Mexico.
"Whether this condition be ever
reached or not, it illustrates force
fully tn eneed of an early understand
ing ON the subject between the gov
ernment of the United States and
that of Mexico. Due consideration
should, in any event, be given to the
obligation assumed by Imperial Irri-
cation District for the irrigation of
lands not merely outside its bOrds, but
located in foreign territory. 1t may,
under such circumstances, be more
difficult to find proper basis OF
sharing operating costs than if there
were no complication through irriga-
tion beyond the national boundary.
at may be noted in this connection
that the Imperial Irrigation District
has no dealings with Mexico direct,
but that whatever it has been neces-
sary to do on foreign soil was done
through a subsidiary Mexican corpO-
ration which holds the concession and
has been made teh agency for all
work south of the California boun-
Diary line.
