There are young men who would like to get into the game but for good reasons cannot. It has re- ccntly con1e to the notice of this page that a young man living on the farm and the only one` to help the old father and `mother, has stopped coming to `town e.\icept when absolutely necessary, owing to the persist- ent attacks made upon him by the recruit-g ing ofcers._ This young man has two brothers in the Kin0"s uniform he is the D 7 `only one left and his duty is on the farm, .if he leaves the parents will have to sell or rent.` It was plainly spoken of at the banquet of the VVarden that the one young man who stayed to_ work the farm was de- . iug as good service as the one who should- ered a rie. A military census of the men of the province or the county and the re- lationship! in wliiclrtlley stand in regard to production. would be one of the best ways to solve the recruiting problem. Such a system would furnish a complete record i | I I of the men of -military age, their calling, T dtc. `In ' this way the `boys who did not `care to fight could be utilized to take the places on farms to let out the boys who were anxious to enlist. Commanding officers might instruct their recruiting . `officers in the best` means of approaching a _1ikel_v re- cruit.

From what this page knows of the spirit of the county coun- cillors we do not think that the smallness of the grant can be taken as a sign that the county rulers are A not loyal or that they are unwilling to do their share in the present struggle. $2,500.00 was voted to as- sist in the work of recruiting, and the same amount, or double `the amount if necessary, will later be voted if the necessity arises for further 3 recruiting Work and the pro-- viding of comforts and necessities for the men of the Simcoe battalions.` If we un; derstand the county councillors aright, more as they nd the necessity. arises.` Expenditures along these lines are increasing as` the war pro- gresses, and those who have the control of the County nances will see that the ex- penditures are in accord with the spirit in whichthe grants have been made. that is for the benet of `the men and the cause they represent. it my l l Orillia Packet-The editor of" the Bow: manville Statesman declares his intention to work harder than ever to make his paper enc-y.

Complications fre- quently attend it and leave weaknesses from which the patient may suffer the rest of his life.. One way to guard against it, phy- sicians say, is "to keep the feet dry and the room in which one sits or works well ventilated.
