SIR JAMES AND ANTI -TREATING. H. B BIAi.IOTT. Puna.tanma AND PR4PIEToa E There has been quite widespread corn- _ _ meat, mostly unfavorable on Sir James THURSDAY, JUNE 12, !913. Whitney's attitude to temperance shown at the Markdale picnic. True, he advo- cated anti -treating, but the reason is too obvious. At the recent session of the Legisla- ture the Prime Minister and the Gov- ernment had every opportunity to put through anti -treating legislation. In 1912 they had declared such a step to be necessary, and painted in bright colors the advantages which would accrue. When it came to putting into law what they talked about they drew back and did nothing. Now, after the session has closed and there are nine months of quiet ahead, Sir James re -introduces his anti -treat- ing talk. To listen to the conversation of a good many people, temprance Con- servatives included, Sir James would be well advised either to do something or to stop talking about what he doesn't do. The reason for Sir James Whitney's reference to the subject at Markdale is still more apparent when it is remem- bered that at the Goderich meeting Mr. Rowell made a heavy attack on the Government on the temperance issue and directly charged that the Govern- ment had received large campaigns con_ tributions from the liquor interests for the East Middlesex elections. Mr. Ro- well asked if perhaps the explanation of the abandonment of anti -treating was not to be found in these campaign funds secured from the liquor dealers. Sir James, by his Markdale speech is also evideutly,•making a bid for the Conservative temperance vote in the impending North Grey bye -election. EDITORIAL. NOTES fa - Provincial Succession duties for May which amounted to $7+.717, show a falling of of $€0,0O00 for the same month last year. For the.even moaths of the present fiscal year the total a amount received has been $476,(11, while the same period of W1'' brought $467,262. Mr. R. Truax has d=finitely announced that a will be a canidate for the Lib- eral nomination to represent that party in the coming by-election in South Bruce. Mr. Traux, who was defeated in the Federal election of 1911 by Senator J. J. Donelly by le 3 votes, will undoubt- edly be the unanimous choice of theLib- erals at their convention, which will be held in the Town Hall, Walkerton, on Thursday afternoon, June 12. At the Markdale meeting not one word was spoken by Sir James Whitney or any of the speakers in reference to the Whitney -Hanna charges, and this too although Mr. Proudfoot has asked a series of 15 direct questions to be ans_ wered by the Prime Minister. If Sir James cannot answer these questions satisfactorily, the days of the Whitney Government are numbered and its de- feat is inevitable. Will the questions be answered? Will the issue be faced? are important queries at this time in Provincial politics. Organized capital cares as much for flags as a Red Indian of the plains cares for a paper collar. It knows no flag save at election times, and then it "oils up" its paid treason to furnish the music. It takes but a short time to get the populace in a tuneful mood, and the crowd goes down the Berlin strasse singing the "Watch am Rhine" the Parisian rues send heavenward "La Marseillaise," the Strand in London is filled with the strains from a million throats "Rule Brittania" and Yonge street in Toronto "God Save the King." And the "Man With the Hoe" turns over in the fields the fresh and "sweet- smelling mother earth -his best friend - she feeds him while in the flesh, and after he finds the only rest he ever knew within her bosom.- East Elgin Reformer. The Dominion Parliament was pro- rogued on Friday after having sat for 197 days. It was a dramatic close for the most dramatic session in the history of Canada's Parliament. The last word was the challenge of Liberalism to the Government to trust the people; to believe in the ability, pride and the as- pirations of Canadianism; to courageous- ly discard the Nationalist alliance; to recognize that permanent Imperial unity can be based only on local autonomy, and to appeal at once to the country, to determine finally and proper- ly the great issue of co-operation with the Empire in matters of common defence. The appeal was refused. Instead, Premier Borden declared that the contribution proposals would be pressed again next session, coupled with the demand for Senate reform, uule s, as Hon. Mr. White said, Provi- dence put a Conservative majority in the upper Chamber before the next election came in due course. Apparent- ly the "emergency" must now wait upon Providence. In comparison with our population, Canada's public expenditure -that is the outlay by the Federal Government -is no less than astounding. Indeed it is equalled by but few countries in the world. According to recently publish- ed figures, based upon the estimates as tabled in the House of Commons the other day, we are expending $26 per bead of po,!ulation per annum; while Germany spends 4-7.4'I per head per annum, the United States $9.65 per head, Great Britain $18.10 per head, and France *2.3 per head. The only countries which appear to be in our class as regards public expenditures are New Zealand and Aus ralia. both of which spend more per head per annum in the administration of public affairs than does even Canada. Ir is presum- ed to be the price that e pay for being young. but at the sane time it would be well if we conducted our public affair+ w ith at least some notions of eeono sae, for it must be remembered •ry-2-+ HEALTH AWAITS G000 DIGESTION ,t •i NURSING MOTHERS particularly awed the: prat duetted nourishment in SCOTT'S ltlililUIO?t: It creates stressed' stud rich, actHe timed.

Indigestion is one of the most dis- tressing maladies afflicting mankind. The stomach is unable to perform the work nature calls upon it to do, and the result is extreme pain after eating, nausea, heartburn, painful, fluttering of the heart, sick headache, and often a loathing of food, even though the suf- ferer is half starved. People with poor digestion are prone to try all sorts of experiments to aid the process of di- gestion, and there is only one way in which the trouble can be actually cured, and that is through the blood. That is why the tonic treatment with Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills cures eve the most obstinate cases of indig ion. They make the rich, red blood at strength- ens the stomach and i nerves, thus enabling it to do its k. The process is simple, but the re ult means a good appetite and inc eased health and pleasure in li . r. R. Lussier, of Sorel, Que., o s ample proof of this He says: "For several years I was a sufferer from indigestion, and the tor- ture I suffered after meals was often almost unendurable. Often I would go without a meal rather than undergo the suffering that followed. Accom- panying the trouble I had headache, dizziness, and often a feeling of nausea. All the time I was taking one medicine after another in the hope of getting relief, but without avail. Finally I read the case of a similar sufferer cured through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided to try them. I took the Pills steadily for about six weeks with result that I was fully cured, and could eat anything I cared for. I may add that I have not since had any return of the trouble." If you are suffering from indigestion do not waste time experimenting, but begin to cure yourself today with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which go right to the root of the trouble through the blood.

CUT YOUR WORKDOWN ONE THIRD A decrease of labour with no diminu- tion of income, but with general im. provement of results, is a combination which appeals to anyone. Labour-sav- ing machinery and thorouhly efficient machinery might just as well be used by dairy farmers as by any manufacturer. So the questions come: Have we effici- ent cows? Do they save or make work? Are they so good that they decrease both comparately and actually the necessary amount of lahour in keeping' cows, and at the same time increase the income? Every farmer needs to answer them sat- isfactorily when he keeps dairy records. A statement made by the Dairy Div- ision, Ottawa, regarding Ontario cows last year, was that dairymen are keep- ing sixteen cows to do the work of ten. So it is quite possible to cut down work one-third, and rejoice because possess- ing more efficient cows. A Quebec dairyman after one year of cow testing writes the Dairy Division that he now gets as much milk from his 32 selected cows as he used to get from his larger herd of 42 cows. Ten nefficient were beefed. Dairy farmers have not time to waste working for poor cows, so make sure that each one pays. He was Mistaken. What do you think of at real estate man getting the worst of it? This just proves that it can be done -but he had to do it himself His name was Roberts. For a long time he hesitated between real estate and green goods, but finally he decided on real estate being easier. So he took an agency for a subdivision in Toronto Therewas a tiny building on theproper- ty in which he estabolished his office. 3 days did he wait for a customer -but none came. Finally, on a beautiful morning, there hove in sight one whom he felt positve was going to give amost satisfactory yield in pickings. He im- mediately got busy to impress the cus- tomer. He got the telephone receiver down, and just as the customer entered the door the real estate man started to talk into the phone. "Well, all right, then. You can have that corner lot for ten thousand down, and I will let the balance go on a three year, seven per cent mortgage What?...All right -at the Bank of Toronto at two o'clock. Good-bye." He hung up the receiver, and then pretending to see the customer for the first time, said; "Oh, hello! How do you do? What can I do for you I this morning?" . "I came over to connect up your tele- 1 phone." .,_.r,_._.... Even a warm rain is bad for very young chicks, and arrangements should be made so tbat they can get under shel- ter quickly when the sudden shower comes up. Aration of corn, oats and timothy is not entirely satisfactory for producing finish in fleshing horses for market, but t may be materially improved by the ad- dition of oil meal. De not let the young colt remain out in a drenching rain until he is at least a few weeks of age, and he is better inside even at a few months of age if a long, cold downpour ensues. Incurs a Penalty. An addition to the Telephone Act passed at the recent session of the Leg- islature, sub. sec. 6, part 21, reads as follows: "The Board may approve of regulations made by any company for the purpose of preventing wilful inter- ference with or interruptions of conver- sations or messages over the lines of any telephone system, and any person offending against any of such regula- tions shall incur a penalty not exceed- ing $25, recoverable under the Ontario summary convictions act." Listeners on the lines are liable to the above pen- alty. At the Finish. Oh, say, what is this thing called Fa.r.e, and is it worth our while? We seek it till we're old and lame, for weary mile on mile; we seek a gem among the hay, for wheat among the chaff; and in the end some heartless jay will write our epitaph The naked facts it will relate, and little else beside: "This man was born on such a date, on such a date he died." The gravestones in the bone -yard tell all we shall ever know of men who struggled passing well for glory, long ago. They had their iridescent schemes and lived to see them fail; they bad their dreams, as you have dreams, and all of no avail. The gravestones calmly tell their fate, the upshot of their pride: "This man was born on such a date, on such a date he died." The great men of your father's time, with laurel on each brow, the theme of every poet's rhyme - where are those giants now? Their names are written in the books which no one ever reads; and on the scroll - where no one looks - the record of their deeds. The idler by the churchyard gate this legend bath espied: "This man was born on such a date, on such a date he died." - Walt Mason. THE DOMINION BANK MR EDMUND B, OSLER, M.P., PRESIDENT. W. D.

EVANS, Manager. IF RESULTS ARE POOR LOOK FOR THE REASON. There are many merchants who look upon the home newspapers as mere charity institutions. They fail to rea- lize the great possibilities that lie in ' judicious advertising. They carelessly scratch of a few lines, "shoot" it over to the newspaper office and never look 1 for the results thata well-written ad. should bring when placed in a publication that is read by the people. Time spent in preparing an attractive ad. is not lost. A well-written ad. in a well-read paper, with the goods back of it, is sure to bring good results. It is often a good idea to specialize some line or some one article. To give convincing arguments as to the effici- ency or superiority of one article over another brand or grade is sure to draw the favorable attention of the buyer. An aimlessly written general ad. with dozens of articles barely mentioned but with no reference as to their superiority, will never command the same results as will one where the reason for the super- iority for the one class over the other is given. There may not be much profit in the sale of many of the articles advertized individually, but it is more likely to bring new customers to your store when they will have opportunity to see just what you have got in all lines. Take pains in writing your ad. and put it in the paper expectant to big re- sults. What It Means. Farm and Dairy: Thirty-five million dollars! It is just fifty times as much as has been appropriated by the Domin- inion Government for the aid of ag- ricultural education in the next twelve months. It is sufficient to maintain two hundred and twenty-three colleges for one year as extensive as the one we have at Guelph, based on the average expenditure of the Ontario Agricultural College for the last three years. It is sufficient to build seventeen thousand and five hundred miles of macadam road at two thousand dollars a mile; or a road long enough to extend across Can- ada and then back again, with some left over. It is sufficient to provide every third farmer in the Dominion of Canada with a pure-bred sire of any breed he may prefor. But that is not the worst of it. All of the equivalent expenditures that we have mentioned are productive and would be a good investment and of much material benefit to the people of Canada, The expenditure on warships is entirely unproductive, and in a comparatively fey years the ships, built at such a tre- mendous expense, will go to the junk heap as out-of-date. having, consumed millions of dollars in their up -keep in the meantime. flow long ars so-called Christi** nations going to continue this unchristian rivalry?

It is next to laughable to read criticism of the Senate, favorable and unfavorable as a regult of its cutting up during the past few days. When it was under- stood that the senate would pursue a steady course of absolute uselessness or indifference, not a partisan on either side following closely in the footsteps of Laurier or Borden, had a corrective word to say about the Senate, but new that the Old Body has sort of wakened from a long slumber, turned over on its side, so to speak, and smothered some- thing, there is a perfect shriek, for re- form. -Winnipeg Tribune. All fowls, before being killed for the table, should be kept without water or food of any kind for at least twenty-four hours, since if meal or grain be in the crop after the fowl's demise it will turn sour, LlVJi STOCK MARKETS Toronto, June 9th. -Only ten car loads of live stock were received at the Western Cattle Market this morning, and these proved scarcely sufficient to supply the existing demand, and in con- sequence there was an early clearance on the market with prices ruling about steady at current quotations. There were a little under two hun- dred head of cattle on the market, the greater quantity being fair to good, butcher grades, which were selling well at around $6.25 to $6.85 per cwt. The receipts at the yards were 10 cars, containing 177 head of cattle, 114 sheeps and lambs, 53 hogs and 71 calves.

After a great deal of worry and study we have at lastfigured outhow so many country editors get rich. Here is the secret of their success: There is a child born in the neighborhood. The attend- ing physician gets $10. The editor gives the loud -lunged youngster a great send-off and gets $0. It is christened, and the minister gets $5, and the editor gets $00. It grows and marries. The editor publishes another long-winded, flowery article, and tells a dozen differ- ent lies about "the beautiful and ac- complished bride." The minister gets $10 and a piece of cake. The editor gets $000 and a request to carry the groom's subscription account another year. In the course of time she dies. The doctor gets from $5 to $100, the editor publishes a notice of death and an obituary two columns long, lodge resolutions, a lot of poetry and a card of thanks, and gets $0,000. No wonder so many country editors get rich. - Exchange. Insurance against sickness has taken a novel form in Philadelphia, U. S. A.
