CANADA'S NEW
DEVELOPMENT
After the War a Period of Pros
perity.

1t is evident that, the Government Of
the Dominion in i6 programme of re-
construction and development is I'M
dertaking work of tremendous i'm
portance. There will be available the
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 a 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.
The agricultural potentialities of
the great Canadian West possess Him.
liable acres of the best of soil, capable
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 q 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
1t 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 cleo
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 it is equally certain
that shipbuilding, railway equipment,
steel production, and many of the in
dustries will go forward with a
bound.
Canadian industries will be required
in the reconstruction Of Europe, and
already the Canadian Government has
sent across the seas a commission for
the purpose of securing orders. Can.
ada took an early and prominent part
In the war, and in the days of peace
will be found equally active. She feels
that by the valOr and loyalty of her
people she has earned large share
of the business and prosperity that
will follow the war period, and she
proposes to get Reimbursement.

LIBERTY FUEL GIVEN OK.

no change in the carbureter, 1t never
theless develops a greater thermal eff
ficiency than the best gasoline"
The new fuel can be produced In
varying grades to meet the require
ments of the several types of gasoline
motors. Unlike gasoline, which is
largely all of one grade, the new fuel
can be manufactured specially for
motorcycles, trucks, tractors, airplane
engines or any other type of gas en-

st will be possible In the future for
a person to drive up to a filling sta
ton and secure exactly the grade of

machine In the market and give the
motor owner a maximum Of efficiency
for minimum Of outlay"
Other government experts who have
witnessed tests Of the new fuel are
highly enthusiastic regarding Its fu-
ture possibilities.

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
SO 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 is
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
remedy to give it a 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
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

DO A GREAT WORK
in OSTEND DISTRICT

a thousand years hence, or, say, mil
lion years. Pill boxes are something
that will stand almost everlasting age.
The scores of drainage sluices across
the roads had all been covered with
temporary bridges by the, Belgian en-
gineers following up the German de-
strOyers. These bridges and culverts
are not as neat and workmanlike as
the ones the British and Americans
build, but they hold the traffic, and
that is the important thing just now
Through the suburbs of Ostend we
passed cheering Belgians dressed for
church. The people were so prayer
fully grateful to the British that they
did not seem to mind the mud we spat-
tered all over them. Many of them
ran off the road behind trees, and
from their mud screen shouted greet
ings to the English. AS the extraor-
binary Flanders mud would even
squirt up to first floors of houses many
of tire people, learning from expert
ence. had taken to second stories, from
which they clapped their hands and
waved flags. The only damage we saw
in Ostend was the wreckage of the
marine and railway stations and the
shattered glass in buildings on the sea
front, due to the air conclusions from
British monitors pounding the retreat
ing enemy.
The piers leading out into the sea
from the harbOr basin showed effects
of British shells and bombs, and near

Engineers Speedily Reconstruct
Roads and Bridges
Wrecked by Shell.
SOLDIERS WORK IN The Rain
Correspondent Describes Trip to os-
tend-Finds Roads Once Badly
Torn by Shells Almost as
Good as New.

American Press Headquarters, Brit
lsh FroDt.-We had an impressive il
luStratiOn today of the accomplish
ments of the engineers in this war
when we drove into Ostend.
The chief of the American mission
at Belgian headquarters had warned
rs dramatically against an attempt to
make the trip. At least three days
would be required, he said. The roads
were torn up by shells and mines and
icongested with troops. Yesterday
light car had taken twelve hours to
make twenty miles. But we started
put and had as smooth road as any
boulevard in the middle West for the
entire distance. There were several
places where we had to make detours
Through villages, and as the dozens of
Bridges across the canal near Ostend
were all blown up we had to drive on
about five miles to a temporary bridge
We averaged about thirty miles an
hour.
Soldiers Work in Rain.
Most of the road was kept up by
British labor battalions, excepting the
section near Christel, through the aw-
sul Flanders swamps, where Belgian
soldiers worked necessarily in a driv-
ing rain. We heard they had worked
all night without rest, and so auto
matte had their operations with pick
and shovel become that they did not
stop to look up when our speeding car
Threw Shiny mire all over them. For
a camp they used the long lines of
herman pill-bOX forts. At one place
we saw about twenty of these squat
chambers, with walls three feet thick
and made of concrete, REINFORCED
with steel pipes. Direct shell hits ap-
parently bounced harmlessly off these
forts. The twenty pill boxes in sight
were in a straight row, and behind
Them were a half-dozen larger ones to
protect the rear.
When we had passed the desolate
waste of water, mud and swamp reeds
and got into other lowlands that had
been drained and tiled we saw more
pill boxes in a reserve line. A Bel
gian peasant was using one as
chicken house, and the low apertures
Nor machine guns lent themselves
readily as entrances and exits for the
FOWLS. Descendants of these chickens

the end of the pier was the gallant old
Vindictive, after its magnificent part
in the Zeebrugge bottling-up exploit,
where she served as a boarding ship
and carried the great superstructure to
permit British marines to climb on the
Zeebrugge mole, had been filled with
concrete and sent In to block Ostend
as U-boat and destroyer base. The
Vindictive made it impossible for siz-
able ships to get into Ostend, and the
Germans, just before the retreat, tried
to complete the work by sinking a
mail ship alongside the Vindictive.
However, there is still room at high
tide for small relief ships and barges
In fact, we saw a converted trawler
of the American Red Cross already in
the harbor, as well as many similar
British ships.

FOCH HAS ALWAYS
BEEN VICTORIOUS

all military excellence in a general,
who does not outrank his colleagues,
but who by some deed or deeds has
brought particular distinction on him
self or his armies.
The first battle of the Marine was
the reason why General Joffre became
'marechal de France" Today there
are only three "marechals" in all
trance-Joffre, Foch and Petain. The
marvellous strategy of Foch stands out
more clearly every day. Napoleon
had many ''marechals." all Of them
prodigies of valor and some of genius
-Massena, Lannes, Soult, Murat, Ney
and others. The emperor made them
either dukes or princes or both, and
sometimes kings. But with all their
glory l doubt If any one Of them has
rendered such signal service to their
country-certainly not to humanity
as have Joffre and Foch.
Gallen's Great Feat.
General Gallieni, the former gov
ernor Of Paris, would have been made
a "marechal" had he only lived long
enough to receive the honor due him.
1t would be a beautiful idea If the
government of the French republic
created him marechal even now, and
inscribed on his tomb: "Gallieni died
in the service of his country. General
de Observation-Disclosures de France" It
might not do the general any good but
1t would please the army and the en-.
tire country, while it would render
justice TO an immortal name and
would be fitting tribute to a great
and good soldier, though whether they
call him general or marshal or drum
major makes little difference. Gal.
lieni's name rests secure in his 3O-word
proclamation and in safekeepng of
4O,OOO,0OO free Frenchmen, for whom
he did more than any other one man
to retain their liberty at a critical
time. He will live forever in the
heart Of the French "pollu." He was
too good Il soldier to ask anything
better than that

a field marshal is grade, but the
