White's idea about the expert members of the Tariff Commis- sion appears to be that they should not be bothered by ordinary persons. He seems to fear that ethers might butt in and annoy the experts while Haman is explaining his blue prints and show- ing where and how he wants the gal- lows built. -Toronto Star. "Very deeply do I appreciate the continuance of your wonderful confi- dence, and I am prepared to remain at the head of the Liberal party so long as you want me, and so long as God spares me and blesses with the perfect health that He is giving me to -day." Thus spake Sir Wilfrid Laurier at Ot- tawa on Saturday night at a banquet of Liberals in celebrating the victory in South Renfrew. REVISED CENSUS FIGURES.

HON. EDWARD BLAKE DEAD. Hon. Edward Blake, K. C., Premier of Ontario in 1871-2, leader of the Lib- eral party in the Dominion Parliament from 1878 to 1890, and home rule mem- ber of Parliament for South Longford, Ireland, in the British Commons from 1892 to 1947, died Friday evening at his residence in Toronto, after an illness of nearly five years. The death of Hon. Edward Blake removes one of the most distinguished Canadians of a generation past The fact that since 1890 he has been removed from the active sphere of Canadian polities, with all its rapid and astonishing changes, had made for him, for Canadians of to -day, a sort of big figure looming out of the shadowy past. That is what he was. I -Ie was of the times of Macdonald and Galt and David Mills and the young Laurier. Born at Adelaide, now Cairngorm, West Middlesex, in 1933, he was the son of Hon. William Hume Blake, chancellor of Upper Canada. .Educated at Upper Canada College and the Uni- versity of Toronto, he studied raw and, A MITHER'S DUTY TO HER DAUGHTER Her Health Must Be Carefully Guarded as She Comes to Womanhood. Every mother who calls to mind her own girlhood knows how urgently her daughter is likely to need help and strength during the years between ear- ly school days and womanhood. Then it is that growing girls droop, become fragile, bloodless and nervous. Nature is calling for more nourishment than the blood can supply, and signs of dis- tress are plainly evident in dull eyes, pallid cheeks, weak and aching backs, a languid step, fits of depression, ner- vousners and a dislike for proper food. These signs mean anaemia -that is bloodlessness. The watchful mother takes prompt steps to give her girl the new, rich blood her weak system is thirsting for by giving her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, be- cause so many thousandr of feeble, anaemic, unhappy girls have been trans- formed into robust women th gh the rich, red blood these pills ec ally maks. No other medicine has eve succeeded like them, and tho an of mothers have proved their w r . The case of Miss Marguerite Bo clair, St. Jerome, Que., proves the truth of these state- ments. Miss Boisclair is sixteen years of age, and says that since the age of thirteen or fourteen she had been afflic- ted with extreme weakness, and seemed to be going into a decline. The least effort left her weak and breathless, so that she was unable to do any house- hold work. She had no appetite, suffer- ed from terrible headaches, dizziness and sometimes fainting spells. She was under medical treatment, but made absolutely no improvement, in fact seemed to be steadily growing weaker. When her case seemed most hopeless a lady friend advised the use of Dr. Will- iams' Pink Pills. After taking a few boxes she began to gain new strength, and after the continued use of the pills for about two months she was again as well and strong as ever the had been and has since enjoyed. the best of health.like many another young lawyer then' - Sold ey all dealers in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. and since, gravitated into politics. His active entry into this sphere was in the year of confederation and, since dual representation was then possible, • he satin both the Federal and Provincial Houses. Another Long Wait. The next York Loan divi_end, which will probably not be made for several years to come, according to C. E Her- ing)on, the liquidator. The first, a 25 per cent. dividend, was payable in No- vember, 19(9, and the second, also 25 per cent., in December, 1911. "Before Ianother dividend can be paid $250,000 must be on hand," Mr. Herington said, `and, although the whole of the proper- ty owned by the company, valued at about $2,000,000, has been sold with the exception of about $50,000 worth, a great deal of the purchase money has Inet yet been paid, and until it is all paid there can be no further dividend." There are some 114,000 people interest- ed in the company, but about 17,000 of ithern have not sent in their pass -books Iand certificates as proof of their claim, Iand so have not received either their their first or second dividend. These will be paid as soon as the pass -books and certificates are received by the liquidator. JUNIOR II. Senior Division Total 400. G. Holmes 390, 0. Hutton 384, 0. Pocock 3S2, M. Walker 379, H.

A reduction of nearly 60 per cent in the number of contagious diseases is shown by the February returns of the' Provincial Board of Health. The total number of cases was 719, with 130 deaths, compared with 1,766 cases and I 224 deaths in February, 1910. The lar- gest reductions were in the number of cases of typhoid, scarlet fever, diphth- eria and measles, while whooping cough contributed a few more than the prev- ious February. The small number of typhoid cases is the most gratifying feature of the report. In February last year the Ottawa typhoid epidemic was in full swing, accounting for the unusually large total in that month. LUvKNOW . The death of Hugh McDonald, a for- mer resident of Lucknow, occurred at Winnipeg on Monday morning, Feb'y 19th. He had been ill for several weeks. Mr. McDonald was born in Scotland fifty-four years ago and came tb Cana- da with his parents in 1873. He resid- ed at Lucknow until 1881, when he re- moved to Winnipeg. For several years he was associated with J, C. Orr in the plumbing business. He retired from that partnership and since then he had been a commercial traveller for Geo. Velle & Co., of the Prairie City. He is survived by his widow, to whom he was married seven years ago, and two small children. He also is survived by six brothers.
