The nation, said the speaker, has nearly succeeded in maintaining its productive power, despite the with- drawal of approximately 4,000,000 men from its industries. It had call- ed in half a billion pounds of its from abroad since the open- ing of hostilities, nearly all of this '{ however, having been used to make fresh loans to foreign countries and colonies. 'If allowance were made for the in- >| crease in the country's gold stocks, | Sir George declared, the nation would be found to have succeeded in meeting virtually the whole of its war expenditures out of its income, without needing to 'draw upon its accumulative capital 'to an extent worth mentioning. Official galcula- tions of the new taxation imposed up to the present time amounted to £197,631,000, and Sir George estimat- ed the taxation in the coming year would reach nearly £450,000,000. On the whole, the speaker said the burden of taxation was light con- sidering the circumstances, and com- with the burden the country bore during the Napoleonic wars. The national debt before the war was £707,000,000. It would be £2,400,- "| 000,000 by the end of this March, Sir George added, and if the war con- tinued another year it would not be far short of £4,000,000,000.

Mr. Hirtle suffered from rheumatism for four years and found a cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills. 4] was in bad shape for four years," Mr. Hirtle says in giving his experi- ence. "My back and hips troubled me so much that I was not able to do much without suffering. I also had stiffness in the joints, my muscles cramped and I felt heavy and sleepy after meals. I had a bitter taste in my mouth, especially in the morn~ ing. My appetite was fitful and I was often dizzy. «] suffered from shortness of breath, I was often dizzy and I was depressed and low spirited. #1 took six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they did me so much good that I am recommending them -to all my friends.

That's why Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him. ee fi me RECAPTURE FLOWER MARKET French Horticulturists Raise ' Lilies ** Germans Used to Send. The lily of the valley, first flower of the year and emblem of good for- tune, will soon make its appearance. on the corsage of the midinette, whence, says the Paris Figaro, there ig every likelihood that it will find its way to the coat lapel 'of the sol- dier on leave from the front. This year the. lilies' of 'the valley found in Paris will be truly French. Hitherto--excepting last year, which was one of eclipse--theéy came from Germany, where the horticulturists grew: them in profusion or retarded them according to the condition of the Paris market. French horticulturists neglected this flower almost entirely until the dearth in 1915 showed them how easily they. could capture the market for themselves, > 2 ry His Brief Respite.

War Has Forced Thousands in Eng- land to Give Up Estates. | Thousands of stately homes inl England are changing hands, accord- ing to the real estate authorities. The . v old owners have in many instances been forced by increased taxes to seek more moderate places, and' some of the estates are being purchased by persons who have profited by war con- tracts. There' is talk of 'wholesale migra- tion and predictions that country life will undergo a revolution. Many of the estates may even be cut up and parcelled out among disbanded sol- diers. : In discussing the effects of the war on the landed gentry, Francis Hirst, a widely known economist, said that it was only a natural result, and that these people would feel the pinch more than the poorer classes for many years to come. "The mere economic effect of the loss of hundreds of thousands of young men "in the prime of life and vigor, is almost incalculable," said Mr. Hirst. "We may safely assume that by November we had lost through the war about a tenth of all the wealth we possessed before. "The present public expenditure of the Government is believed to be about equal to the whole of the pri- vate incomes of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom put together. mand for it, manufactt the matter greater consideration. sant Srimn i mie bre Growing Old.
