"f ' 'f " " I The Canadian public has not yet fully realized the vast importance of the acquirement, by the Government of the whole Grand Trunk Railway System, including, of course, the trans-continental line, commonly known as the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern. These are now to be operated under one the Canadian National, or for short, central management, and known as J This is Canadian Book Week, Oct. 28 to Nov. 4 having been set apart for.a nation-wide, educational cam- paign to induce people to buy Cana- dian books as Christmas gifts and for their own reading. There is much need for such education. Canada is flooded with foreign magazines and other literature. Many of the big city papers are filled with syndicate feat- ures purchased in the United States while articles by Canadian writers find little market. These imported publicationsand literary products, even though they have value, are not such as are calculated to build up a strong national spirit in this Domin- ion`, for they are written.from the -foreign viewpoint and often contain insidious propaganda that: readers generally absorb unconsciously. As Premier Drury pointed out the other day, all true Canadians should be interested in trying to build up a vir- ile national consciousness. One very practical way to promote this is to encourage` the reading of Canadian authors and magazines. Public li- braries have a distinct duty to per- form in this matter, not only. by plac- ing meritorious works of Canadian authors on their shelves,- but by dir- ectingthe attention of library pat- rons thereto. The movement is n_ot only patriotic` but good from a busi- ness standpoint and is deserving `of hearty support.

Preventive medicine is gradually forging "ahead, but even yet most people persist in waiting iuntill they are really` ill before consulting a phy- sician. There are still some doctors, too, who do not take a patient` ser- iously when he appears at their of- fices apparently. in the best of health and requests a thorough examina- tion. Railway Wages Hamilton Spectator.--The ndings of the board of conciliation which inquired into the question of railway workers wages will be ap- proved by the majority of Canadians, out of whose pockets the necessary funds must come to give effect to the recommendations. The National railways do not pay, and it is the anxious desire of every taxpayer that they should be made to pay, but not by the method of curtailing the just requirements of the public servants engaged in operating them. Those .Women Smokers Renfrew Mercury.-- It is unthink- able that any well poised member of the so-called weaker sex has acquired so depraved a taste as to derive real enjoyment in making a smoke stack of herself. Perhaps it is the posses- sion of the ballot that has spoiled them. The equal of man with regard to the franchise they aspire to 're-- semble him in all things. Hence the masculine `attire that is adopted by so. many women and to which public speakers of the day, educationists particularly, object.

An old tax slip shown! The Herald of a date twenty years ago shows that the county levy on the` increased assessment of today is about equal to the entire tax levy on lthe same property twenty years ago.

The annual report of the Royal Victoria Hospital shows that the work. of that institution hasheen well main- tained and that its facilities for car- ing for the sick are b.emgi'ncreasing_1y- i used. With rates Ilower than in most other hospitals and} with practically- no municipal assistance-, as the so- called grants are more than repaid` in care of indigent patients, the Roy- al Victoria Hospital provides an e- quipment and service surpassed in few towns. Such a condition of af- fairs speaks well for the managemen of the Barrie hospital. ' Renfrew Council has fixed a price of a half-cent per kilowatt hour for electric heating. Does that mean that every householder using electricity for heating gets a half-cent rate for all hisdomestic current? `If not, how is it proposed to keep track of the consumption of each heater? If Renfrew consumers can get all their domestic electricity for a half-cent` per kilowatt, they surely are lucky; In Barrie, which has the lowest rate of any town on the Hydro systems the minimum domestic rate for quan- tity is one cent per kilowatt hour. :&m&&&&&mm&&&w&: g AMONG EXCHANGES g %&%&w&mw&&%&&&&& Rep by_ Pop" I Bracebridge ` Gazette.--It may _as well be accepted at oncezthatif One _Vote One Value becomes the basis of representation the inuence of- rural places ends.
