Most of the 2s speeches of Sir Rob
 ert Borden from which Mir. Percy Hurd has compiled his interesting narrative
 were delivered in Canada and the
 United States, and are therefore quite
 new in this country. They all deal
 with the war, and have afl immediate
 value in view of the Canadian elections
 which close on Monday next, and up- on which great issues depend. There Lis hardly Canadian or Imperial phase
 of the war upon which the Canadian
 prime minister in these speeches does
 not touch. and they will appeal as
 much to the people of the United Kingdom as to the soldiers from Cafi- ada. It is one Of the most reinarka- bic incidents of this war that the De- minion, with it's population of under eight million. has already. under the voluntary system, sent nearly 590,000 men across the Atlantic to fight Ger many. No other war has yielded such q significant demonstration. and TO empire but our own could have ocea- stoned it. MT.

An extraordinary picture of the coal crisis in Berlin is given in a long ar. tsefe in yesterdays "Vorwaerts." It may be accepted that the description applies to the whole country.

days while their guns and munitions

French and Americans following with

battle up to and beyond the River

was not allowed TO do this.

Fifteen hundred anti-tuberculosis
associations in every state in the Un.
ion have set aside their ordinary work
and are giving their time and atten-
ton during the next month to the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call, according
to an announcement from the head
quarters of the National tuberculosis
Association.
Instead Of the usual sale OF Red
Cross Seals which has been conducted
for the last ten years jointly by the
National tuberculosis Association and
the American Red Cross, this coming
year the tuberculosis movement will
be supported by direct appropriation
of $2,5OO,0O0 from the Red Cross. and
In turn all Of the machinery Of the tu-
berculosis campaign will be turned
into helping swell the membership OF
the American Red Cross in an effort
to enroll every man and woman In the
country.
In every state there Is well organ

there are strong local branches. These

SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tion's War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People OF
the United States Averted a
Famine at Home In Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves conclu-
siyely that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions Of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total Of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 2I9,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been In the throes Of sugar
famine before the end Of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
It would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury in the American diet.
Few accomplishments Of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
tion Of sugar. By 1t we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation is in a position so
that II we choose we may return to
our Lormal home use Of sugar, and
Europe, with the release Of ships to 60
far afield, can maintain Its recent re-
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use OF
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
FOLLOW DOCTORS ADVICE

Ask any physician Or druggist and
he will tell you that the first step In
the treatment of cold, cough, influ-
enza or grippe should invariably be
"a brisk calomel purgative, preferably
the nausealess' calomel, called Gallo
tabs" This alone is often sufficient to
break up severe cold over night, or
cut short an attack of grippe and pos
sibly prevent pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue ct bed
time with a swallow of water-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eating
pleasures or work. Next morning your
cold has vanished and your entire sys-
TEN is purified and refreshed. Gallo
