EDITORIAL NOTES
The bringing about of a general
election in the midst of this war will
mark our Federal Government as a
parcel of practical politicians utterly
devoid of the first principles of states-
manship. --Toronto Saturday Night.
The prorogation of the Legislature
Thursday afternoon by his honor the
Lieutenant -Governor was tame compar-
ed with the opening on February 16,
and lasted only twenty minutes The
only item ot business was the adoption
of the printing committee. There were
more members than usual, possibly a
score, so there would have been no
difficulty in enacting any last -hour leg-
islation, if such had been necessary.
Ninety-nine bills received the royal
assent in addition to the supply bill.
The mounted escort, guard of honor
and honor and battery of guns were
drawn from the second contingent in
camp at the exhibition grounds and
presented a file martial appearance.
The revelations at Ottawa in con-
nection with the purchase of army
supplies call for drastic action on the
part of Sir Robert Borden and his
Government and the Conservative
party. They must dissociate them-
selves with any wrong -doing, with any
attempt' to take advantage of the
country or of our soldiers in the field.
They cannot stand for graft, for unfair
profit or for worthless or interior goods.
If members of Parliament did wrong
they must take the consequences; if
officials were parties to fraud or were
lax in duty they must be dismissed and
punished if within the power of the
law, and wherever contractors acted
unfairly or took undue profit they must
make restitution. In ofher words, the
Department of Justice must be put in
operation in the most vigorous way,
and more than anyone else the Cabinet
must be held to strict accountability.
The Conservative party as a party must
clear itself before the country. It has
an active Opposition in front of it, and
the people will await an immediate
statement and the action that must
follow. The system of purchases by
way of a patronage list, no matter how
long in use, must now be wiped out for-
ever. There must be open competition,
and every contractor must be compelled
to put in a declaration as to his good
faith in every respect in filling any and
every contract. War graft of every
kind must go. and The World believes
the Conservatives have the opportunity
and the duty of saying so now. — Toron-
to World, Conservative.
The Government is preparing for an
election. One of the most prominent
of the Conservative members from Que-
bec stated on Saturday that the Gov-
ernment had actually decided upon the
dates. He declared that unless some-
thing unforeseen occurred, Parliament
would be dissolved a few days after
prorogation and an election ordered,
with nominations on Uonday, June 7th,
and polling on the 14th. It has been
practically agreed that prorogation of
the present session will he this week.
A SILLY EXCUSE
(Toronto Star.)
After long consideration, the Hon.
Robert Rogers has found an excuse for
plunging the country into an election in
the midst of the war. The Senate has
amended a bill providing for the ap-
pointment of some additional Senators
for the West. The amendment is to
the effect that the change shall not

iLvites colds and sickness.

come into effect until after the next
election. According to Mr. Rogers,
the people of Canada are widly excited
over these Western Senators and the
Senate generally, and are asking "in
tones louder than thunder" for an early
election.
The excuse is worse than note, Not
one man in a hundred was even thinking
about the Senate until Mr. Rogers
made his farcical speech. Not one
man in a hundred cares whether there
are any new Senators from the West
now or at any future time. The West
itself does not care. The new Senators
will be of no more value to the West
than a new carpet for the Senate
chamber.
If Mr. Rogers wants to abolish the
Senate, he will find plenty of people to
agree with him.
But what the people are thinking d
at present is not the Senate, but the
war and the war -graft. An early
election will divide the people ot Canada
when they ought to be united in the
common cause.
THE BACHEt..OR GIRL'S RETORTS.
To get rid of a man don't spurn his
love, just tell him that you can't live
without him.
When a man tells a woman that he
loves her because she is "so good and
noble" it thrills her almost as much as
though he had told her that he loved
her because she had a good digestion or
a healthy appetite.
Man is never quite as good as he
thinks he is, nor quite so wicked as he
tries to make a woman think he'is.
Nothing hurts a man more than
coming home with a grievance and
finding company there so he can't en-
joy airing it.
A woman sometimes keeps a man
running after her not because she has
any doubt of her own mind, but just in
order to give him something amusing to
do until she gets ready to marry him.
When a woman refuses to kiss a
man he regards her as either a prude
or a model of propriety—because it
never occurs to him that she could ever
possibly have thought of kissing any -
!Jody else.
The "art" of love -making consists in
being able to "draw" on your imagina-
tion; but nowadays a man's imagination
is hardly big enough to hold anything
but a dollar sign.
POPULARITY FOLLOWS OPTIMISM.
Optimism is a virtue which every one
should cultivate. It not only makes us
happier and brighter, but also morn
popular, for everyone loves to be a
optimist. Even pessimists are stirred
out of their constant gloom if surround-
ed for a time by a number of persons
who persistently look or, the sunny side
of life, no matter how dark the outlook -
After all, optimism or pessimism is
all a frame of mind. Both words
simply describe condition, and, since
this is so, why not choose the one
which will make us happy.
Optimism means looking on the sunny
side of life, seeing only the good in all
things. We can easily cultivate this
viewpoint if we will only try, and it
makes such a difference in what we
see. We can look at the same persons
and see quite different things in what-
ever direction we look.
Is it not much better to see only the
good, the beautiful in everything around
us, than to see only the evil?
BAKING HINTS.
When baking cakes—If a cake cracks
open while baking it contains too much
flour. Use half a cup less next time.
If you want a very fine grained cake
beat well with a silver fork after mix-
ing,
If you want a spongy, light cake, use
sour milk; for a large, rich cake, a
slow oven.
Sift your flour before measuring.
Sift the baking powder with it to in.
sure thorough blending.
In making fruit cake add the fruit
before putting in the flour and it will
not fall to the bottom of the cake. This
is better than flouring the fruit, which
often leaves unbaked flour clinging to
the fruit after it is baked.
In creaming butter and sugar, where
the former is hard, never warm the
butter, Warm the bowl or the sugar
to make the butter blend. Otherwise
the flavour and texture of the cake will
be changed.
If you do not wish to use an egg
when frying oysters in deep fat, make
a patter of flour and cream, adding salt,
pepper, and a pinch of baking powder..
Dip the oysters in this, then in fire
cracker dust, again in batter, in dust
and fry them hi deep fat.
The oysters seem even more tender
than when cooked in the usual egg
batter. This pan may be used in frying
croquettes, chops and other foods which
require a batter,

While Carrier Hamilton was returning

experience of being shot at and hit,

although not hurt. Some young lads
had been out shooting, and, doubtless
intending no harm, one pointed a rifle
at Mr. Hamilton's buggy. The bullet,
of 22 calibre, pierced the cover of the
buggy, passed through both of Mr.
Hamilton's coats on the shoulder. Had
the bullet struck a few inches higher
it would have doubtless entered the back

TU KNBBaRRT.
Isaac Metcalf, a pioneer of Turnherry
township, passed away in his 80th year,
on Saturday night, after a short illness.
He was born in Yorkshire, Eng., and
carne to Canada at the age of 22 years,
taking up farm work in Stephen town-
ship, near Goderich, after some years,
in 1865, with his wife a'nd family,
took up farmwork near Wingham,
where he developed a fine farm. He
made many friends in the district. In
religion he was a devote Anglican and
in politics a Conservative. He is sur-
vived by a family of five sons and one
daughter, his wife having died some
years ago. The members of the family
are: Ralph, Sohn and Robert, at home;
David, Isaac and Mrs. Alex. McNaugh-
ton, in the West. The funeral services,
were conducted by Rev., Mr. Dymond,
of the Anglican Church, Wingham, on
Tuesday afternoon, at the residence of
John Metcalf, and interment was made '
in Winghenl Cemetery.
MUSiC -LANGUAGE: -
Single Notes Are Its Letters, Groups
of Noteo Its Words.
As you know, the single notes are
the letters of the music language.
Groups of notes are the words of the
music language. In a spoken language
the letters are always sounded one.
after the other. In the music language
they are itometimes sounded one after
the other and pometimes simultane-
ously.
This fact explains two important di-
visions of music—namely, melody and
harmony. , In a general way, melody
consists of single tones heard one after
the other; bombinations of tones heard
simultaneously are'called harmony. A
word of the music language may con-
sist of several tones In succession, like
a word of the spoken language, which
consists of several letters in succes-
sion.
On the other hand, a word of the mu.
sic language may consist of several
tones heard simultaneously, which is
Impossible in language. Some of the
most important words of the music
language are those which are need in
both these ways, and it is one of the
great charms of music that Its words
can be beard Ip these two ways. --Or.

How to Get New Health and New
Strength at This Season.
Spring ailments are not imaginary.
Even the most robust find the winter
months, most trying to their health.
Confinementindoors, often in overheated
and nearly always badly ventilated
rooms • in the home, the office, the shop
and the school—taxes the vitality of
even the strongest. The blood becomes
thin and watery and is clogged with im-
purities. Some people have headaches
and a feeling of langour. Others are
low-spirited and nervous. Still others
are troubled with disfiguring pimples
and skin eruption,-, while some get :11p
in the morning feeling just as tir-1 as
when they went to bed. These . re all
spring symptoms that the bloo• is out
of order and that a medicine needed.
Many people take purgati medicines
in the spring. This is serious mis-
take. You cannot cure ourself with a
medicine that $gallo. through your
system and le ves •ou weaker still.
This is all that
you need to gative does. What
give health and strength
in the spring is a tonic medicine that
will enrich the blood and sooth the
jangled nerves. And the one always
reliable tonic anti blood builder is Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills not
only banish spring weakness but guard
you against the more serious ailments
that follow, such as anaemia, nervous
debility, indigestion, rheumatism and
other diseases due to bad blood a In
proof of this, Mrs. D. E. Hughes, Ha-
zenrnore, Sask., says: "About a year
ago I was badly run down, my nerves
were all unstrung, and I could not go
•up stairs without stopping to rest. As
I was a long ways from.a doctor I de-
cided to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
and in the course of a few weeks 1 felt
like a new person. As an all round
restorative I can heartily recommend
this medicine."
If you are ailing this spring you can-
not afford, in your own interest, to
overlook so valuable a medicine as Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. Sold by all medi-
cine dealers or by m ail at 50 cents a box
or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr.

WAR NOTES.
(Canadian Courier.)
Isn't it odd to find that the Balkans
is the only peaceful spot in Europe?
Having banished the "swallow" the
Russian bear is now after the eagle.
Peculiar that Germany should be so
hard up for food and still insist on
taking prisoners by the thousand.
The Turks proclaimed this a Holy
War, but before it's over they'll find a
new name for it.
A policeman's lot may not be a happy
one, but it's bliss compared to that of
a neutral nation.
After it's all over the Dardanelles
may properly be referred to as "sore
straits."
"Russians pursuing. Turkish rem-
mant," reads a heading. Sounds like a
spring bargain sale.
A German doctor declares that war
bread is good for the nerves. Germany
should not lack for nerve treatment.
The Turk is not a large target for
the Allies, but the cynic remarks that
Germans found him an easy mark.
It's either the war in Europe or per -
'feet accord among the bakers that
accounts for the increased price of
bread.
