'1'he pressure of the gas causes pain in the stomach; sometimes it efi'eets the heart. When the gas is belched out through the mouth the patient is temporarily relieved, the sour risings in the throat, at - l the burn- ing sensations in the throat and stomach are caused by the acid fermentations. There are plenty of things toeeutrelize these acids. or to "sweeten the stom- ach" as it is called, but they do not cure the trouble. Pure, rich blood which will tone up the stomach and enable it to do the work nature intended it to do, is the only road to a cure. Dr. Will- iams' Pink Pills make new, rich. red blood that is why they cure even the most obstinate cases of indigestion. The following is a bit of proof. Miss Minnie Greene, of hall's Bridge, Ont., says; "About a year ag,a I was greatly troubled with my stomach. Everything I ate caused me pain and distress. I would feel as though I was starved, but when meal time came the sight of food caused a feeling of loathing. There were days when I could not even hold milk on my stomach, and my head would ache so that I could hardly keep from screaming. Only those who have suffered from stomach trouble know the torture I suffered. I tried almost every remedy recommended, but found not the least benefit until I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These I used for a couple of months and they worked a perfect cure and I am again enjoying good health and able to eat freely all kinds of fool." IC you are suffering from indigestion or any other trouble due to watery blood, begin to cure yourself to -day by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Nothing but the grim satisfaction of a party vote of censure on Mr. Proud - foot was the outcome of the final debate on the report of the Committee on Privileges anti Elections in the Legis- lature. Mr. Proudfoot met the vote of censure with a well -reasoned reply. The Conservative majority had denied him proper means for prosecuting his inquiry. He knew well the responsi- bility he had taken. He asked for a royal commission, but that hadnotbeen granted. Had a commission been ap- pointed and his charges found to be without basis in fact he would have surrended his seat in the House, but under the present circumstances he de- clined to be bound by anything that the House might pass against him. The Federal Parliament is dealing with a question, which. without proper authority, the Government has assumed is the wish of the majority of the Ca- nadian people. But this is a matter in which the electors have not been prim- arily consulted. So far as ,the wishes of the electorate go, any criterion for forming judgment as the kind of naval policy which would appeal to the major- ity, is afforded by the proceedings in the Parliament in 1909. The Laurier policy was then accepted by both political parties. Now the Government is en- devoring to force through a policy which although it meets with the approval of the majority of the House, cannot un- der the circumstances be legitimately said to be the policy acceptable to the majority of Canadian people. — Leth- bridge Herald. CHAJ.f .F.NGES AND COUNTER CHAL- LENGES. Much has been said about the chal- lenges and counter -challenges in the Whitney -Hanna charges, but the debate in the House on the last night of the session shows that it was the Govern- ment which was on the defensive at the close and still remains there. Mr. Proudfoot's position is clear "If this matter." he said "will be taken before a Royal Commission and they find that the charges are not substant- iated, then I am willing to resign my seat." The challenge is clear-cut, and the refusal of the Government to ac- ceptit is equally apparent. They voted down the Minority report which advo- cated a Royal Commission and refused all further enquiry. The challenger is Proudfoot, not Hanna, and the refusers of the challenge are the Hon. SirJames Whitney and the Hon. W. J. Hanna, and the Governmentnot William Proud - foot and the Opposition. F, H.

A. fiat issued (to the Taylor Scottfirm) without any suggestion or offer on the part of the said Sir James Whitney or the Hon. W. J.

The minority report asked for the appointment of a Royal Commission to secure a full, fair and impartial&invest• igation. 5. The Conservative majority in the House went so far as to pass a vote of censure against Proudfoot. Mr. Proud - foot's last stand, however, was a chal- lenge to the Government which they did not accept. He offered to resign if he did not prove his charges before a Royal Commission. Mr. Proudfoot has been the recipient of congratulations from all parts of the Province by reason of the dignified way in which he under- took the public duty of exposing con- ditions in the Whitney Government. If it had not been for Mr. Proudfoot, the Province would not know to -day that a payment had been made by Taylor to Hanna. Whitney did not make the ad- mission until Proudfoot had forced his hand in the Public Accounts Committee. 6. Such eminent lawyers as E. F. B. Johnston, K. C., George Watson, IC. C, and Hartley Dewart, K. C., in signed letters have declared their belief that Mr. Hanna's actions came under the criminal code. This, of course, must have been known to the Government and this very serious fact supplies the likely reason for the shutting off of:the evidence in the enquiry. 7. A large number of Conservative and independent papers have comment- ed unfavorably upon the obstruction methods employed in the Committee. Among these papers are the Toronto World. Toronto Telegram, Kingston Standard, Ottawa Citizen, Hamilton Herald, Le Devoir, Montreal, and the Gazette, Montreal. When Mr. Proudfoot quoted Sir Alan Ayleswortb's opinion on the Whitney - Hanna charges, Mr. Musgrove, member for North Huron spoke in a slighting way of Mr. Aylesworth and of his opin- ions. Mr. Proudfoot made the follow- ing remark:- "The memory of Sir Alan Aylesworth will be green long af- ter Mr. Musgrove is dead, and his ashes have returned to their kindred dust." May Rod and Gun.

Magistrate HOIrestead declined to reduce the charge to manslaughter, The prisoner's counsel, Mr, Stanley flays, made the request, which was opposed by Crown Attorney Seager. Reaping the Result. (Ottawa Citizen, Conservative.) The deplorable scene that took place in the Ontario Legislature on Tuesday last, when the letter of Arbitrator Thorne to Harry Maisonville was read by Mr. Proudfoot in substantiation of his charges against Sir James Whitney and Hon. W. J. Hanna, on the ground that no just chance was given for their rightful investigation by the Legislative Committee, simply shows that the Gov- ernment is reaping the harvest of its partisan sowing. It must have been apparent from the beginning that an investigation would neither fully invest- igate nor fully settle anything. It was a matter of politics, and not even shrewd politics at that, Only as a last resort, when ,there was imperative need to conceal the facts, would a partisan committee have been in the least polit- ically wise, Under the circumstances as they were popularly understood at the time the Proudfoot charges were made, no such excuse could have been possible. The net result of the whole affair as it has been put through by the Government is certainly no great credit or advantage to the Conservative posi- tion in the Province. Had a Royal Com- mission or a Judicial Committee been appointed, as was requested, the situa- tion would have been vastly different and better. Capital Pald Up $3,000,000. Reserve $3,750,000.
