SANER REGULATION OF
RAILROADS ASKED.
A. plea for more conservative regula-
tion of railroads, to give them a chance
to maks' some money and thereby be
able to give better service is contained
in a resolution adopted yesterday by
the dir..ctor.; of the Merchants and
Manufacturer's Association.
The resolution says that the welfare
of shippers is seriously threatened by
the lack of equipment and improvement
in railway facilities, for which over-
regulation is blamed, Copies of the
resolution will be sent to congress, the
interstate commerce commission and
the state railroad commission.
•`In order that these resolutions may
not be misunderstood," said the Presi-
dent Otto H. Falk, "let it primarily be
said that the present industrial depres-
sion is, in part, due to the railway situ-
ation,
"It is a well known fact that railroad
building has practically come to a
standstill. It is also true that the rail-
roads have made only the most urgent
improvements, as far as roadbeds and
the replenishment of rolling stock is
concerned.
"This is largely due to wanton and
reckless legislation and the activities
of unwise railroad commissions. Their
work has intimated the investor and
prompted railroad authorities into an
ultra conservative attitude.
"There is no intention to give the
railroads more than their just dues.
iWe cannot do without them, but more
than that, they must be prosperous in
;order to render a good service and
prompt them to make extensions and
improvements.
"Milwaukee is more vitally concern-
ed than are many other American
'cities. Many of the local industries are
/engaged in the production of railway
suppplies. We have a large and well
equipped car and locomotive construe-
-Owl plant here, known as the West
Milwaukee car shops. These shops
'should always be in full operation. A
revival in the railway business would
!benefit Milwaukee's industries to a
!considerable extent.
"It also follows that if the railroad
facilities of the .country do not keep
pace with the increased commerce a
severe car shortage may be experienc-
ied next year. This will be detrimental
not only to the shipper who cannot
send his products to their destination
but also to the producer, which finally
means the working man whose labor
must find a market.
"I am a firm believer in the regula-
tion of the railroads, in order that the
service they rendered at a reasonable
cost. But I am unutterably opposed
Ito inimical legislation, enacted merely
to satisfy an unreasonable political
tendency or to ornament the toga of
demagogues and political mountebanks.
"There must be reason and common
sense in everything, and while we
want the railroads to do what is fair
we must at the same time stand ready
;ourselves to do what is fair." -Mil-
waukee Free Press, March 13, 1912.
The Chinese language is reckoned to
be the most unwieldly and intricate in
existence.
The following reply is given by a
Toronto paper to the question - "Is
smoking prohibited in post offices by
the Department?" "We have made en-
quires concerning the matter of smok-
ing in Canadian postoffices, and we are
informed that the rules of the Depart-
ment are very strict in the matter, no
smoking being allowed in any pest
office."

With Many People.
Sotne are seldom, if ever, free from it,

!they can get no relief,
Headathts are tfenetally caused by

FOR GARDEN/NG LADIES.
April Number of Canadian home
<Journal will especially delight those
reads ra who enjoy plotting and plan-
ning, planting and pruning. It has
several pages devoted to flowers, vines,
shrubs and trees, which are as practic-
al as they are suggestive of attractive
results to be obtained, and profusely
illustrated.
"A Garden From The Woods" tells
of many wild flowers that may be trans-
planted to grace your garden and how
to do it. Graphic pen plans illustrate
the article on the borders of annuals
telling of arrangements best suited for
height, color and time of flowering.
Dahlias, astors, carnations, vines,
roses, cone flower, are treated of in
separate little articles. "My Garden
of Ten Dods" tells of how a city travel-
ler raised all the vegetables for the
family on his back lot, to the mutual
increase of his health, happiness and
bank account.
If you have visited Bermuda, it will
be delightfully recalled to you by
"Easter in Bermuda" illustrated with
photos and sketches of houses and
scenery by Helen E. Williams,
Shall the Hindu be allowed to bring
his wife to Canada? As told by Ethel
Cody Stoddard the opposition by British
Columbia is due almost entirely to
their immorality.
Have you ever experienced personally
or in your immediate family the power-
ful suggestion of the patent medicine
almanac which makes every almost un-
noticed ache appear a symptom of
some terrible disease. If so you will
especially enjoy the story "Spring Al-
manac," and it may suggest a remedy.
Other good tales are "Aunt Mary Ann"
a story of everyday life concerning the
question of a wifely "allowance"; "The
Song of Life" by Katherine Hole, and
the serials.
And the cover, I almost forgot that.
It is one of the most striking and at-
tractive of all the April covers. No
other part of the Journal shows better
than the covers, the very great increase
in quality and its present standard.
This one shows a young girl seated on
a stump with a great bunch of trilliums.
There is a hazy Leafy background and
the sunlight sifting through the trees
gleams on her hair.
HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.
Carrots require three hours' boiling;
parsnips, from half to three-quarters
of an hour; lima beans, half an hour,
rice, twenty minutes.
To cut fresh white bread use a knife
that has been heated, and it will cut
smoothly.
Fruits or vegetables canned in tins
are wholesome if ends of cans sink in.
If bulged out the contents are ferment-
ed.
A small dish of fine charcoal kept in
the refrigerator and renewed every
week will absorb the odors and keep
everything fresh and clean.
To clean straw matting, use a cloth
wet in clean salty water, washing un-
til clean, but wetting no more than
necessary, then wiping dry at once.
Do only a small space at one time, dry-
ing as it is washed, until the whole has
been gone over.
To clean hardwood or stained floors
sweep thoroughly and dust, then rub
with an absorbent flannel cloth wet
with kerosene.
Dissolve five cents' worth of oxalic
acid in a glass of water and scrub the
hat with a nail brush, after it has been
thoroughly freed from dust. Then
rinse in clear water and dry in the sun.
Black chip hats may be made to look
like new by wiping with an old, soft
silk handkerchief, followed by a light
application of olive oil.
In cleaning white felt hats milliners
use the soft inner part of a stale loaf
of white bread. It does the work per-
fectly.
The Case of Mr. Gamey.
(Weekly Sun.)
No rule of popular government could
be more wholesome than that which
precludes a member of Parliament from
taking employment from or contracting
with a Government. The reason of the
rule is that the member's independence
may be weakened. The rule which has
been long in force in Great Britain is
now broken for the first time in Canada
by the passage of an Act enabling Mr.
Gamey, while remaining a member of
the Legislature, to make an excursion
into the new country as the paid leader
of an expedition to study the now ter-
ritory ceded to Ontario. Much has
been forcibly said in favor of imposing
a more r1e ru rigid that
no member of
Parliament should take employment
from a Government until he has been
so long out of the Rause that his ap-
pointment to office will not raise a
suspicion that while a member he wt's
carrying his appointment in his pocket,
ande
meekly din
o as he was '
y g bid without
regard to the "welfare of his eonatitu-
ents. Perhaps Mr. Gamey's Constitu-
ents may not be hurt, but the Legisla-
ture will not be better for making a
breach of this salutary ruler of inde-
pendence.

GIVE THEM THE FLOWERS NOW.
[Leigh M. Hodges.]
Closed eyes can't see the white roses,
Cold hands can't hold them, you know;
Breath that is still cannot gather
The odors that sweet from them blow.
Death, with a peace beyond dreaming,
Its children of earth doth endow;
Life is the time we'can help them,
So give them the flowers now.
Here are the struggles and striving,
Here are the cares and the tears;
Now is the time to be smoothing
The frowns and the furrows and fears.
What to closed eyes are kind sayings?
What to hushed heart is deep vow
Naught can avail after parting,
So give them the flowers now.
Just a kind word or a greeting,
Just a warm grasp or a smile -
These are the flowers that will lighten
The gardens for many a mile.
After the journey is over,
What is the use of them, how
Can they carry, who must be carried?
So give them the flowers now.
Blooms from happy heart's garden,
Plucked in the spirit of Iove;
Blooms that are earthly reflections
Of flowers that blossom above.
Words cannot tell what a measure
Of blessing such gifts will allow
To dwell in the lives of the many -
Oh, give them the flowers now!
Not Honest Enough to be Bold.
(Brantford Expositor.
Outside the ranks of the thick and
thin supporters of the Conservative
party there is little disposition to treat
seriously the anti -treating proposal of
Sir James Whitney. It is generally
regarded as being a political move and
as being incapable of enforcement if
placed on the statute books. It was
mistaken tactics to put it forward. Sir
James has already rejected a measure
along the same lines when put forward
by Mr. W. K. McNaught, and is not
likely to have faith in an anti -treating
law at this time. rrom a purely party
point of view, he would have been on
stronger ground had he taken the posi-
tion that a well enforced license law,
With the privilege, of local option, is a
much safer position from *temperance
standpoint that the abolition of the bar
While retaining the shops. By taking
this attitude, he would have demonstra-
ted that he is "bold enoogb to be hen-
est and honest enough to be bold." By
taking up with anti -treating the Prem-
ier has shown that he is as tricky as
politicians are often accused of being,
and hue eff8Ced his own trade -mark,
Eczema auci Sore Eyes.
"My daughter suffered from inflamed
eyelids and eczema on her head," writes
Mr. H. W. Lear, Port Planford, Nfld.
"The child was in a bad state and suf-
fered greatly. The doctor failed to
help her, and on recommendation of a
friend, I used Dr. Chase's Ointment,
which made a complete cure. With a
grateful heart I write you this letter."
Ten Kind of Lies.
Dr. Allen Hoben, professor of Soci-
ology in the University of Chicago, has
been studying this subject for months
divides lies into ten classes. 1st -The
fairy tale lie, which is told to children,
or which the child invents from imagin-
ation. 2nd -The vain -glorious or boast-
ing Iies. 3rd The defensive lie, told
to escape some punishment. 4th -The
heroic lie told by one person to save
another from punishment. 5th -The
white or permissive lie, often told by
conscientious people; this consists in
hiding the truth while appearing to tell
it. 6th The society Iie; under this
head probably comes the lady's state-
ment -"I am delighted to see you,''
when in reality, she wishes to goodness
the caller had not made an appearance.
7th -The business lie. 8th -The pro-
fessional lie, practised by lawyers and
physicians. 9th --The art lie, by which
recently made paintings are palmed off
on amateurs as the work of the old
masters. 10th -The adulterative lie;
this the Professor holds is the most in-
jurious and one of the most common of
all lies, and results in giving us oleo-
margarine for butter, cotton -seed oil
for olive oil, etc., etc.

To make a barnyard sanitary and
dry, says Hoard's Dairyman, the best
thing to do is to drain it. Whether this
should be done by raising it so the
water will flow off naturally or by open-
ing some ditches or tile drainage de-
pends, of course, upon the location of
the barn and the yard, Cinders and
soft coal ashes are very good materials
for filling in a barnyard. Sand mixed
with some clay will also make a good
yard, and so will gravel. There are,
of Course, cases where none of these
substances are available, and it becom-
es necessary to concrete a portion of
the yard in order to keep it dry.

IT PAYS
TO ADVERTISE
IN THE
SUNDAY SCHOOL,
Lesson Iii. --Second Quarter, For
April 21, 1912.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Mark ill, 7-19,
Memory Verses, 14, 15 --Golden Text,
John sot, 16, R. V. -Commentary Pre-
pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
The first part of this lessou is found
In Matt. xli, 15-21, as well as in Mark,
and the record of the choosing of the
twelve is found in Matt. x and Luke vi
and in our lesson verses, Our medita-
tion is upon the record as found in the
several gospels, When Jesus knew that
they had determined to kill Mtn lie
withdrew With His disciples to the sea.
When people resist the gospel and wilt
not hear of our Lord Jesus our in-
structions are to let them alone and
withdraw from them tMelt. x, 14; Acts
sill, 40: 11. John s, lir. As then multi-
tudes followed Jesus because they
needed what Ile Lind to give, so there
are multitudes now hungering for they
know not what, but it is Himself they
uee(l. in those days they heard what
great things He (lid, and they came to
Him from nil parts, even from Tyre
and Sidon, as well as from beyond
Jordan, and Ile healed them all and
c'nst out unclean spirits (Matt. xii, 15)
amid c'hurged the healed ones not to
wake him known. The crowd so
thronged [Lim that Ile bade his disci-
ples to briug Iiim a boat that from It
He might he able the better to teach
them. We are vessels also, and Re de-
sires frotn and through us to make the
glad tidings known,. but few seem
willing to give Iiim the vessel. The
quotation from iso, xlit, 1.4, in Matt.
xii, 15-21. must be understood in the
light of the context, and thus it is
Wein ,that the bruised rood and smok-
ing flax represent Elis enemies. whom
He might easily break in pieces, but
the time is not yet. Compare 11 Hinge
xviii, 21. Sotne see in the reed and flax
a suggestion of the weakness of Ilia
own people with which He will not
deal severely. That phase of the truth
is found in Heb, ie. 15, 16, but here we
are pointed onward to the time of
judgment upon His enemies, and after
that the winning of the nations to
Himself through Israel, now meekness
and submission and suffering, and then
the glory.
Llil:e vi, 12, 13, tells of Ills spending
all night in prayer to God and then,
when it was day, of Elis choosing
twelve of His disciples, whom He
named apostles. 1 often wonder if we
understand prayer as practised by
Iiim. Think of our prayers, a few mo-
ments of confession and petition, and
contrast this "continued all night in
prayer to God." He had nothing of sin
to confess, so It must have been an all
night of communion with HIs Father
concerning the things of the kingdom
and concerning these men whom He
was about to set apart specially for
Himself. Verse 13 of our lesson says
that He called unto Ilam whom He
would and they came unto Him. On
the last night before be was crucified
He said to them, "Ye have not chosen
me, but I have ebosen you and ori
dallied you, that ye should go and
bring• forth fruit and that your fruit
should remain." When he called these
men He had In mind not merely the
few years of ministry in a mortal body,
with much weakness and (allure on
their part, but He saw the kingdom
and the twelve thrones on which •they
would sit ruling the twelve tribes of
Israel (Matt. xix, 28; Luke rail, 80).
It was not the time to talk with them
of that; but, though He did speak of it
before He left them, He niso said, "I
have yet many things to say unto you
but ye cannot bear them now" (John
xv, 16; xvi, 12). He called them that
they might be "with Him," He want-
ed them not only in His company, but
to be wholly one with Him, seeing
things as He did, having His mind
about things, as far as such mortals
could; but ob, how they failed, and
how we fall, and how we must grieve
Him by our unbelief and our own
thoughts instead of His! He wanted
them with Him that He might sent
them forth to preach and to heal.
Whom He blesses He desires to make
a blessing to others, and 'He has left
us here in His stead, saying to 1115
Father, "1 am no more in•the world,
but these are in the world.' Be else-

lsoprayed that through us the World
might believe and know (John xvil, 11;
xxt, 23). He not only prayed for the
apostles, but for all who should be-
lieve on Him through their word (John
