Mrs. Chas. Kec§'ng, sen., Owen Sound,

0111-. writes :-“It is a pleasure to tell 'hat great benefits I have derived from the use of Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food. I lm 55 years of age, and for about iive

mrs my life was one of great uffer-

from nervousness, weakness and

extreme physical exhaustion. I could not sleep, and hot flushes would pass through my body from feet to head. I consulted our family physician and two other doctors. but they told me that about my time of life I was likely to be troubled in this way. I continu- ally grew worse and despaired of ever being cured. Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food came to my notice, and as we have Dr. Chase’s Recipe Book I had con- fidence in the doctor. I was sq sur- prised at the help I received from the first box that I bought three more. They built me right up and made me feel healthy and young again. They have proven a great blessing to me, and I hope this testimonial will be of help to some weak, nervous woman suf- ering as I did."

OLD AGB PENSIONS IN AUSTRALIA.

New Zealand was the first of the far

southern British Colonies to adopt the

system. of old age pensions. In that Pro- vince the Government appear tohave in ‘troduced the measure before there had , been any general desire expressed in that lbehalf. The measure appears to have turned outto bea popular one and to have produced such good results, particu- larly in the way of reducing pauperism, that other Provinces in Australia have

been impelled to adopt it. Early among these is New South Wales where the

new pension act is to take effect on July lst next.

New South Wales has a population of

1,370,000 of whtm nearly one third are residents of Sydney, which, with its suburbs contains 440,000 people. Last year in charitable relief of all kinds, including hospitals and lunatic asyluinsj $2,901,000 was expended. The cost of the old age pensions now provided is vaguely esti- mated at one and a half to two and a half

millions, and may therefore be set down at two millions of dollars. The preamble to the Act set forth its object quite

clearly:

“It is equitable that deserving persons who during the prime of life have helped to bear the public burdens of the colony by the payment of taxes and by opening up its resources with their labor and skill .should receive from the colony pensions in their old age”.

The State of Victoria has also adopted

a partial old age pension system., In New ,South Wales, however the plan is more complete and provides pensions for per- sons of both sexes of sixty-five years and upwards. It is stipulated that they shall be persons who have paid taxes,have been law-abiding and industrious and that at the time of claiming the pension they shall have insumcient msans for their

support. In New Zealand the pension rate is seven shillings a week. In New South Wales the maximum rate is $130 a year. It is so arranged in both New Zealand and New South Wales that where

lapensionor has other income, whether

from his own 1ab0r or from his savings he

than will make up a total of one pound a week, including his private income. '

InVictoria the pension system is a tentative one, which went into force on

lst January last and isto continue for six months. Its operation will therefore

‘expire on the date at which the New

South Wales system goes into operation. In the Victoria law it is provided that any Victorian who has been a resident

of the Cape Colony for 25 years, who is 65 years of age and poor may apply to a police magistrate and upon satisfactory evidence of his past industry and good conduct and present need, maybe placed on the pension list at ten shillings a week. Persons under 65 may also be pensioned on the ground that their health has been impaired by work in the mines or at some unhealthy trade. Sir George Turner, the Premier, had es- timated on a cost of something under $325,000 for pensions in the six months. It

turned out that 18,000 applied for pensions within the first month and 15,000 of these had certificates granted them, so that it became apparent that if the scheme were “ made permanent on the present basis it would cost Victoria from three to three and a half millions of dollars yearly.

This does not look very promising and

may put a damper on the progress of such “advanced” legislation. Victoria is the one colony which has been least prosper- ous in recent years, whether or not from its adherence to a high protective policy . In any case it is to be observed that or- ganized labor is mainly at the basis" of the old age pension system in the Common- wealth. In no part of the British Empire have the laboring classes so_largc a con- trol in legislative and governmental matters. It is well enough that the ex- periment should be tried, and other coun- tries will watch its development with great interest. but it must be apparent that the system has some draw-backs. _ Not the least of these is the danger that among certain clssses the assurance of a fixed support from the State in old age may lead to improvidence during the

period of middle life.
