WAR!
War
I abhor!
And yet how sweet
The sound along the marching street
Of drum and fife, and I forget
Broken old mothers and the whole
Dark butchering without a soul.

Without a soul - save this bright treat
Of heady music, sweet as hell;
And even my peace-abiding feet
Go marching with the marching feet,
For yonder goes the fife,
And what care I for human life?
The tears fill my astonished eyes,
And my full heart is like to break,
And yet 'tis all embannered lies,
A dream those drummers make.

Oh, it is wickedness to clothe
Yon hideous, grinning thing that stalks
Hidden in music, like a queen,
That in a garden of glory walks
Till good men love the things they loathe;
Art, thou hast many infamies,
But not an infamy like this.
Oh, snap the fire, and still the drum,
And show the monster as she is!
-Richard Le Galliene in The Argonaut

The Fed Well Enough.

(From the Kansas City Star.)
Two Jamestown bankers were discussing food conservation, reports the Optimist. "Mr. Hoover should have seen our table last night," said one banker. "All we had for supper was cocoa, war bread and syrup and warmed-over potatoes." "I believe we had you beat," said the other "All we had was corn meal mush and corn bread"

Strengthen Ther Hands.

(From the Regina Leader.)
The personnel of the Union Government is 50 per cent. Tory, but so far as its acts during the past few weeks are concerned it would be much nearer the mark to say they have been 100 per cent. Liberal than to say they are 100 per cent. Tory And were it not for the fact that the hands of the Union Government are tied by legislation passed by the old Borden Conservative Government its record would be even more Liberal. But many things that ought to b done, and must and will be done if Union Government is sustained by the people, cannot be done until the new Parliament meets and undoes some of the absolutely indefensible acts of the old Parliament . No true Liberal need hesitate to give his support to Union Government and thus uphold and strengthen the hands of Liberal leaders like J. A. Calder, N. W. Rowell, A L. Sifton, T. A. Crerar F. B. Carvell, A. K. Maclean, W. S. Fielding and others who will represent Liberal principles and politics in the next Parliament.

ALARM OF FIRE THIS MORNING
All during the night the excitement cantinued and there wes no let uy in the efforts to save the still living and remove the dead bhdies from the ruins in the devastated district. The procession of conveyances of wounded and homeless out of the burned district to the hospitals and shelters contin- though they came less frequent than during the afternoon. An alarm of fire early this morning caused some anxity as the alarm system was out of commission for the eime being and the first and second alarm was at the fire station with no box signal there was no knwing from the aiarm in what vacinity the fire was. It was in the factory building of the Moirs Limited under one of the floors and was soon extinguished by the Firmen.
As daylight came snow began to fall and it is feared it will interfere somewhat with the recovering bodies not yet found.


We desire hereby to extend deepest sympathy to the stricken families in our midst.
We are thankful that none of our staff were injured, and we beg to notify the public that the store will be open to supply any needs in our power in this time of dire distress.

No Time for Division.
(From the Grain Growers' Guide.)
At the present moment there is something even more important that tariff reductions, and that is to protect our country from the enemy which is thundering at our gates. If profits and incomes are adequately taxed we believe the farmers of the West are willing to forego the fulfilment of their tariff demands during the period of the war if it is necessary. Neither The Grain Growers' Guide, the low tariff men in the Union Government, nor the organized farmers of the West need sacrifice any principles whatever in supporting the Union Government to the full at this time. Its policy is clear cut and defined, but in the face of a dangerous unscrupulous and powerful enemy it is no time to divide our forces by internal struggle. Considering every possibility in the light of a great national crisis, The Grain Growers' Guide believes that the best interests of Canada demand that the Union Government should be supported at the coming election in every possible way.

Women of Middle Age
Many distressing Ailments experienced by them are Alleviated by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Here is Proof by Women who Know.
Lowell, Mass.-"For the last three years I have been troubled with the Change of Life and the bad feelings common at that time. I was in a very nervous condition, with headaches and pain a good deal of the time so I was unfit to do my work. A friend asked me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which I did, and it has helped me in every way. I am not nearly so nervous, no headache or pain. I must say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the best remedy any sick woman can take."-Mrs. MARGARET QUINN, Rear 259 Worthen St., Lowell, Mass.

She Tells Her Friends to Take Lydia E. Pinkham's Remedies.
North Haven, Conn.-"When I was 45 I had the Change of Life which is a trouble all women have. At first it didn't bother me but after a while I got bearing down pains. I called in doctors who told me to try different things but they did not cure my pains. One day my husband came home and said, 'Why don't you try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash?' Well, I got them and took about 10 bottles of Vegetable Compound and could feel myself regaining my health. I also used Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash and it has done me a great deal of good. Any one coming to my house who suffers from female troubles or Change of Life, I tell them to take the Pinkham remedies. There are about 20 of us here who think the world of them."-Mrs. FLORENCE ISELLA Box 197, North Haven, Conn.


Of Course, it makes good Pastry
In fact, "Beaver" Flour is a special pastry flour. It contains the choicest Ontario fall wheat (the finest pastry wheat in the world) blended with western spring wheat to increase the strength.
BEAVER FLOUR
MILLED OF BLENDED WHEAT
makes the lightest, flakiest Pies and Tarts-the most inviting Cakes, Cookies and Doughnuts-and real homemade Bread, with the delicious, nutlike flavour. There's no comparison between the tough Pastry and tasteless Bread made with western wheat flour, and the "good things" made with "Beaver" Flour. Order some.
