Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup has been universally used for the past 30 years, and so great has been its suct,ess, it is only natural that a great many imitations have been placed on the market.

A despatch from Detroit, says:— The war cost in tonnage of Great Lakes shipping is readily figured now that Canadian and American lake fleets have been restored practically to a pre-war basis. It is now known that 149 lake steamers uassed out of the St. _Lawrence River primarily for the purpose cf helping to win the war. Figures show that the war cost in lake tonnage consisted of 297,103 gross tons, and that carrying capa-; city loss amounted to 482,400 gross, Cons for a single trip. Such well-known Canadian carriers) as the Chemung, Carleton, A. D. Davidson, Donnacona, Dunelm, W. H. Dwyer, Geo. L. Eaton, Empress of Fort William, Empress of Midland,! C. A. Jacques, Midland Queen, North -1 mount, Port ]Dalhousie S huylkill, Scottish Hero, Stormount, Strathcona a and many more were_victims of sub -1 marines and now rest on the ocean' Boor. The lake steamers Algonquin, Cas- tello., German, Georgetown, Fair- mount, Meaford, Maryland, John Lambert, Tuscarora, Rutland and Pere Marquette No. 6 were also lost in Government service. The steel bulk freighters that went to salt water numbered 36 American and 44 Canadian steamers, represent- ing in gross tonnage 157,366 tons and a earryig capacity of 244,500 gross ;: tons' on a single trip. Other trans - fere. of lake bulk tonnage eonsisted of 1,3 wooden steamers, which, with two or three exceptions, went into the Atlantic coastwise coal trade. A few lake steamers of American registry have been brought back but vessels of Canadian registry which went away to aid Great Britain in supplying her armies are still in the ocean trade, filbing the void in Bri- tish tonnage created by submarines. In addition to bulk freight,carriers, 32 American package freight steam- srsand 20 Canadian package freight- .s were sent to salt water during the war, and none of this fleet has been returned. Su.mrner Time in Britain This Year as Formerly A despatch from London, says: --.It is the purpose of the Government to introduce legislation to make perman- ent the Summer Time Act, under which clocks are set forward one hour, according to a statement made in the House of Commons by Edward Shortt, Minister for Home Affairs, DO NOT DISMISS CONSTIPATION AS A TRIFLE.

GRAND TRUNK...RAILWAY SHARE- ERS KEPT- GOVERNMENT TERMS Sir Afred Smithers Says Comps; y* Could Not Carry on Un- der Circumstances—Judging ng S Protests the Bargain is Good One F ,pr• Canada, .4. despatch Irene London, says:-- Tla: ehareholde'rs of the Grand Trunk Railway, after listening to heated criticism, on Thursday assented to the terms of agreement with the Do- minion Government. A dozen dis- sentients held a meeting afterwards and ,passed a ,resolution protesting against the terms. "We have fought hard for nearly two years, and we earnestly and un- hesitatingly recommend you to ac- cept the agreement." This was the final sentence of Sir Alfred Smithers' speech to the Grand Trunk shareholders. The meeting was crowded and at times there were strong ejaculations. The sharehold- ers, however, were entirely cordial toward the Chairman and his col- leagues. Sir Alfred Sznithers decalred that he had always been most careful to express himself with all possible re- straint regarding the Canadian Gov- ernment, but, unfortunately, the bare rec.' :al of thus ease was sufficient to cruse considerable feeling. ' "I knew there were influential men in Canada who thought that the po- licy the 'Government should pursue was to let us alone, and that the weaker we became the easier• we could be dealt with. They know that we were being forced by the Government to carry on under impossible condi- tions over which we had no control. I felt we were being held up." (Cries of shame! and one voice, "Swindlers!"] Sir Alfred, continuing, said: "1 re- ceived figures showing the profits! were swallowed up in increased wages, without the company being granted increased rates, which meant the loss to shareholders of at least one and a quarter to 'one and a half million pounds in each of the last three years." The Chairman said that they thought in regard to the ( and Trunk Pacific at Ieast they were en- titled to be shown the sante consid- eration as the Canadian Northern. U.S .O.—U.F. l'Y .O. Having outlined briefly the begin- nings of this gueat movement of ours, perhaps we cannot do better than to attempt in this letter to online our aims and the means by which we hope to accomplish then. Our position is, we believe, an en- tirely logical one, and is based upon two or three facts; 1, That agriculture- is the basic in- dustry of Canada. Data available for anyone upon request show that near- ly 3010 of the wealth of Canada is de- rived from agriculture, directly and indirectly. 2. That this great industry is, or rather was, practically without in- fluence with the Government, because of its lack of organization. 3, That withoutinfluence, it is im possible to obtain legislation needful to assure the prosperity of our indus- try. We are not out,for class legislation. But we are not willing that the class to which we belong should be ignored in legislation. If it is proper that;, legislation be enacted to further the interests of in- dustries which contribute far less than does ours to the national wealth, much more is it just that ours should re- ceive like consideration expressed in legislation. But we have no such:con- sideration. The events of the past forty years go to show that we have steadily been losing ground—Rural population has decreased and the influence of agri- culture dwindled to a mere nothing. Unorganized as we were, we were in no position to protest against measure after measure that discriminated against us. The outcome, of course, is most plainly seen in the high cost of living. With towns and cities growing, that is, the number of food consumers who did not produce food increasing, and the food producing population decreasing, what else could happen? This condition re -acted again upon the farmer. With food and other necessities so high in price, increase inwages to the urban worker became imperative, and so wages have risen Ligher'and higher; the price of food to the consumer has risen proportion- ately, The laborer is in no better financial position, and the farmer, who keeps to the primary line of farm- ing, i.g, the production of food;.simp- lycannot pay the current prices for labor and "come out even." If yon doubt this statement send for a copy of the survey which Prof. Leitch made of three of the best townships in the province. Something Is radically wrong when these conditions prevail. • There is no use to atteibpt to reme- dy conditions unless the cause of their existence can be established. Those who have given their lives • to a study of these things have Irrived at this conclusion: These conditions exist because: 1. The individual voter does not realize his responsibility for present awe. 2. The people who do realize the 're- sponsibility have not been working for the interests of the farmer. 3. Proper legislation •can be obtained only when the voter is convinced of the privilege anti .opportunity and re- sponsibility involved in the ballot. That the farmers must cease to be the only industry' whose operators neither Daunt, weigh, measure, grade, or value one single thing they either buy or sell. In other words, the farm- er must control his business. The steps toward this are: 1, interest; 2, education; 3, organization; 4, co- operation. But the greatest of these is education, and upon it all others de- pend. We can never prosper until the un- rest which prevades all classes in this and other countries is allayed. The effort to allay it is a fight for which, in our land, the weapons will •be forged by the press, the platform, yes, and the pulpit. Our motto is, "Equal opportunities for all; special privi- leges for none." We believe that it is built upon the principle which He who claimed to have the panacea for all sociarlis, in the rules of conduct He gave, and which he epitomized thus: "Whatsoever ye would, therefore, that f. men should do unto you, .do ye even so to them.." The principles that are incumbent upon the individual; who calls him- self Christian do not differ one whit from those which a christen nation must follow if it would be worthy the name. -Margery Mills. Have Until July 10 To Reduce Army A despatch from London, says:— Germany has been allowed a conces- sion from the terms of the Treaty of Versailles with regard -to the speed with which her military forces must be reduced. Premier Lloydl George has notified Dr. St. Hamer, the German envoy, that the date when her army must be reduced to 20Q,000 men has been fixed as April 10, while she is allowed till July 10 to bring it down to the limit. PIMPLES and BOIL For dearly Two Ye;rs. When pimples and boils appear on the face and body it seems as if the skin is the seat of the trouble; but the real disease is in the blood. Lotions and ointments may allay the trouble for a while, but seldom if ever cure. 'You have to get under the skin; get at 'the blood which is the cause of the trouble. Burdock Blood Bitters goes direot to the root of the disease and restores healthy, normal action to the different organs, and cleanses the blood. of all its impurities; Mr. E. C. Goodwin, Cambridge, N.B, writes :—"For nearly two years I sufieretf from boils and pimples on my_faee and neck, and nearly .all of my body was covered with the pimples. I tried most everything, but got no relief. One day a friend advised me to try,Burdock Blood Bitters and after usipg three bottles the boils and pimples had all left me and there is ne sign of them return- ing. I can strongly recommend B.B.B. to anyone who is troubled with skin disease." Manufactured only by The T.
