What a relief to be free of cathartics, salts, laxatives and purga- tives that merely aggravate consti- pation and are so unpleasant to take and so weakening in their effect! 'Mat a satisfaction to know that the juices of apples, oranges, figs and pruues will absolutel7 and perma- nently relieve constrpatiou. By a certain process, the juices of these fruits can be concentrated and combined with tonics -and it is these intensified fruit juices that correct constipation, relieve headaches and biliousness, and make you well and keep you well.

Of no other empire that ever ex- isted can it be claimed that for cen- turies it has used its'night and strength to rescue human liberty from peril, and to establish human right where it was assailed. With- in four centuries the British Empire has four times risked its existence in order to protect menaced right and freedom. beyond its own fron- tiers. It is the great Empire of fair play in world affairs. The Press constitute the tribunes of this 'great Empire, and, I may add, its lictors. They carry the big sticks. Their steadiness and stead- fastness inspired and sutainecl the greatest effort this .Empire has yet put forth? In the great world war, without their unwearying support, even the indomitable spirit of the brave peoples who constitute this mighty Commonwealth might have flagged and failed. In no part of the Empire was their power and devotion more help- ful, than in the great Dominions We have not forgotten. No, we nave not forgotten what our part- ners in Empire meant to us and. did for us in the day- of trial when, in the sacred cause of humanity and honour, we accepted a challenge, the most formidable ever hurled at our heads in the whole history of this fateful Iand. We have not forgotten. We are not a demonstrative people. We are commonly reputed to be phleg- matic. We are certainly not as en, fusive as the nations who forgot as soon as danger was driven from their doors—no, from their very hearths—those withnttt" whose help they would have perished. We are mindful. We are grateful: The British Empire raised nine millions of men for her armies and her navies' in the great war. This does not take into account the mil- lions who laboured to produce the material of war .on land and sea. But of this gigantic total of men who bore arms the Dominions con- tributed over one million of the very best. I have often meditated with a sense of fear and trembling as to what would have happened if the million had not come. Even with them it was a near thing. Europe is not as satisfactory as it might be even now, but it is stead- ily improving. Let those who are discontented with the pogress made just imagine what the condition of Europe would have been like to -day if the Allies had been overthrown and Prussian militarism had been enthroned an that Continent. The ground covered by democ- racy in its notable advance in the nineteenth century towards the era of enlightened freedom would have been lost,and we should have been flung back bruised and broken into the age of selfish force. Itfhas hap- pened before in the history of the world, when violence and barbarism triumphed over ordered progress. TJie British Empire has made it possible for humanity to avert that catastrophe.

A., our space has been limited an"�lc the account of the overseas visit of the Canadian Week- ly Newspapers Association has been crowded out. The last account refer- red. to was the visit of . the party to Col. Grant Morden's. At Barn Hall The Manor of Beaconfield and Barn Hall, to which place we plot- ored after leaving Grant Morden's, is a part of the Manor of Burnham, of which there is record as far back as 1042, and at one time it 'was an- nexed to the Honour and Castle of Windsor. For many years it was in possession of the Waller Family and the present house was built about 1720 to 1730 by Stephen Walser. Viscount Burnham, the present own- er wn er bought the property in 1881. The grounds are very beautiful, partic- ularly the great lawn, which was laid out in 1740, and is said to be one of ,the largest and first put down in England. It is like a beautiful green velvet carpet. With a party as large as ours, and the afternoon a perfect one, we did not invade the house to any great extent, except when we sat down to dinner in the banqueting hall, which is apart from the main building, and the walls of which are covered with wonderful tapestries, old portraits, and trophies of the hunt. There we had the most homelike meal of the whole trip --home-made bread and butter, big bowls of strawberries, and all the cream one could con- sume. While the table contained all kinds of sweets, jellies and past- ries, we passed them up for the plain good things, that were so homelike and such a treat after the elaborate banquets we were in the habit of re- ceiving. Instead of being catered to by Lyons, who seem to be every- where in England, we were waited upon by Viscount and Lady Burn- ham, Lord and Lady Newnes, Sir Harry and Lady Brittain and others of like ilk, who seemed to enjoy the serving as much as we enjoyed the eating. They were all just as plain and genuinely attentive as our good. people at home when one attends a church social or supper. At the Telegraph Office Since arriving in London the a- bove was the second entertainment we received at the hands of Lord Burnham, but we were destined to receive yet another, for on Monday we were invited to a reception at the Daily Telegraph Office on Fleet street, of which newspaper Lord Burnham is the principal owner. A- mong other guests the Lord Mayor of London and the Lady Mayoress were of the party. After shafting hands with the host and hostess in the Pillar Hall we partook of a buf- fet luncheon, catered by Lyons, and PUBLISHERS MEET, A District Convention of weekly 'newspaper publishers of several coun- ties adjacent to Landon, took place in that city on Friday last; and r orae thirty-five representatives were pre- sent. fi4iattera of interest to the pub- lishers and their distrusts were dis- cussed, and several addresses were given by the President of the C.W.

Ndgtt Call 74j tion to the might of the Empire in the late war who are not Christian. You must find a foundation for Empire that will cover all these formidable multitudes, and until it is found and accepted the Empire is not secure. There must be the sentiment of a common purpose, of a common interest, of a common in- heritance, and of a common mission In reaching the sublime end we must proceed cautiously, but stead- ily, making sure that every' step is firm before we proceed tothenext I have constantly urged two sug- gestions, both of which come within the definitions and limitations which I have already laid down, but both of which will contribute to the common end. The first is a closer consulation between all parts of the Empire, 'with a view to reaching a commomn policy. The war brought that end visibly nearer. During the last year of the war, and theeffirst six months of the peace, an Imperial Cabinet, repre- senting all parts of the Empire, sat in London to determine Imperial policy. All the treaties were set- tled by the closest consultation end after conferences between the Min- isters and Princes who represented the nations of the Empire. The other method is an improve- ment in the communications of the Empire. The British Empire is an ideal worth sacrificing labour, en- deavour, and. even party advantage for its attainment. There has never been anything like it under the sun. It is the grleat democratic Em- cialist Empire, nor yet an Anglo" Saxon Empires or .a Protestant Em- pire Its pattern must be, woven out of threads of different materiel, and of diverse colors, But they Must all contribute to the strength, to the utility, and .the splendour of the fa- bric. • Race will not keep the Empire to- gether; creed wi11`not hold it in un- ion. There are ' powerful and grow= ing communities .of European . des - (tent 'within its aconnietes whoare. consciously ` not' 'Anglo-Saxon; who resent fiercely'' the suggestion,, that. annum, payable half -yearly, winch ,.s 'greatest'Empire in the world—it 18 they.', are Anglo-Saxon.

The Press are the eyes and the ears and the voice of democracy to -day. You here represent the living agency which reconciles de- mocracy and Empire, and makes the combinaton a success. And what a marvellous combin- ation it is—a combination of the young and the old, of the traditt 'pal and the progressive! There ar it nations `as old as the .Pyramiu. there are nations younger tha many men in this hall. There are nations which fought in the cru- sades on the slopes of Olivet; there are nations that fought the. Romans on Plinlimmon and the Grampians. There are nations which. fought Alexander on the banks of the Indus there are also communities which were not born into nationhood when Britain just the other day fought Russia on the heights ot Alma. It is worthy- of our best, our most sustained, and our most chivalrous endeavour. The Press can secure the thriumph of this noble ideal of a United Empire of free nations which shall be the watch tower and citadel of peace liberty, and fair play in the world.
