IdealiSnn

We cannot get away from idealism
any more than we can from charae-
ter, nor from an idealism based on
knowledge. The problem will be as
1t always has been, one of making ID
helpful and fruitful, and enlisting II In
the service Of man. It cannot serve
man except through other men, and as
applied by them. The greatest ideal
ever revealed to the world was the
ideal Of service. There could have
been none greater. Christian people
certainly will not deny this, for 1t Ii
one of the basic truths of their re-
ligion. Ideallsm, service and obedi-
ence, therefore, all 60 together, and
are all necessary elements Of SYM
metrical character. They will not lose
their Importance or value. We cannot
think of men living together in civil
lied society without them. For, lack
ing them, men would not be men, and
society would not be civillzed.-Bos-

Industry throughout the world must

that following the war re-equipped

special concessions from employers
or those with whom they work shoul.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview Of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root 10
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such q
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

BelqIum's Independence.

More than rs years ago Belgium de-
clared her independence Of Holland,
to which she had been united by the
settlement Of 1915. Long-standing dis
satisfaction first broke into open re-
bellion on the night Of August 20, when
the performance of the opera la
Muette de Portici," with Its passionate
appeal for emancipation, inaamed the
audience to such degree that the peo-
pie left the opera house and flew to
arms. Europe regarded the outbreak
as merely q local riot until month
later, when the Dutch army sent to ro-
establish order In Brussels was led In

portance. There will be available ths
labor for work that has been silent
since 1914, and the rehabilitation Of
this labor will entail the thought and
energy Of most capable heads. The
transition period from war to peace
will be rapid and thorough, and, in.
stead Of Canada sinking into a state
Of lethargy, there will be continued
period Of wakefulness that will give
employment to the unemployed, and
render to the capitalist and producer
ample return for his money, effort
and enterprise.
Ihe agricultural potentlalites Of
the great Canadian West possess illlm.
liable acres Of the best of soil, ca Eble
of producing millions of bushels of
the best of grain. The cost Of grow
ing this is lower than any place on
the continent. There will be a greater
demand than ever for these lands, the
consequent production will be heavier
and the profits attractive. Cattle
industry will be one of the chief de.
velopments, and the encouragement of
It will lie In the continued high prices
that beef products will bring. Euro.
pean countries have been depleted Of
cattle, and the demand for beef, cattle
and dairy products will tax the efforts
Of the producer for years to come.
Western Canada offers unequaled
opportunities for development In this
line.
In the Canadian West plans are be-
ing laid for the development of eleC-
trical power which can be produced
cheaply. There Is an abundance of
coal and water power that could be
used in developing this useful energy.
What cheap power produced In this
way will mean to the farmer and de-
velOpment of Industrial enterprises
cannot be estimated in figures.
More extensive development Of the
water power at Niagara, on the st.
Lawrence and at waterfalls all over
the country, is ready to be launched.
Peace will see new mine fields
opened up, and 1t is equally certain
that shipbuilding, railway equipment,
steel production, and many of the in
dustries will go forward with
bound.
Canadian industries will be required

sent across the seas commission for

proposes to get it.-Advertisement.
