The Tragedy of the 

 Empty Bottle 



It is a real tragedy to find the bottle empty when you need Bovril. 

 You may want Bovril quickly in illness. You may need it badly for the 

 meal you are cooking — for your soup or your stew. So keep Bovril at 

 hand. 



What Ontario Needs. 



Peterboro "Times," Aug. 5, 1916: 

 The Ontario Forest Protection Ser- 

 vice stands urgently in need of three 

 main reforms which, year after year, 

 have been urged upon the Govern- 

 ments by the Canadian Forestry 

 Association, the Commission of 

 Conservation and other bodies : 



1. Remodelling of the ranger ser- 

 vice so as to give real protection to 

 the forest wealth of the province. 

 The Ontario system is recognized 

 generally as out-of-date and ineffi- 

 cient. 



2. The employment of inspectors 

 in the ratio of at least one inspector 

 to ten rangers. Over an area of 

 10,000,000 acres. Ontario has just 

 eight supervisors, each being re- 

 cpiired to manage on an a\-erage of 

 36 men. 



3. Sufficient rangers must be pro- 

 vided to completely patrol the Clay 

 Belt, and these rangers must have 

 authority to control the burning- 

 operations of settlers. 



The Government's Part. 



Toronto "Globe." July 31. 1916: 

 The clearing of land is like reforest- 

 ing — a matter for Governmental su- 

 pervision. The danger of clearing 

 by fire needs no argument, but the 

 injury is not fully appreciated. The 

 knowledge that ashes are a fertilizer 

 has caused much mischief. The 

 burning often does vastly more in- 

 jury to the soil than the ashes can 

 restore.
