ELLI0T r, PUBLISHER AND PROPIETOR THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1913 BYE -ELECTIONS AND APPOINT - MEN rS TO OFFICE. (T .e Weekly Sun. Four co Istituencies, three in Ontario and one in Quebec, have for some months past been without representa- tion in the Dominion House of Com- mons. Three of the vacancies are due to death; one to the appoiillment of the late member to the ' enate. In all feu ki end ctions should have been. wed v.«ks aao. Also, as a matter of fair play, they should all have been held on the same day. As a matter of fact the first of the four will be held Oct. 1 I. The second will not take place until the twenty-first. The dates for the other two have not yet been announced. The object of delay, of course, is to enable the Government of the day to concentrate all its forces in one constituency after the other, and to use the resutt in one as a means of effecting the result in others. It is a delibrate attempt to prevent a free expression of popular opinion. It is an attack upon the very basis of popular government. Another offence, akin to this. is that of appointing members of a Legislature, or of the House of Commons, to offices of emolument in the gift of the Government of the day. This ;s one of the most potent means by which members of a party, holding seats hi a legisla- tive body, are kept i i line by the appointing power. A so-called repre- sentive of the people cannot perform his duty to those whose representative he is supposed to be, when he is looking to the party in power for a lucrative office. He will, almost unconsciously, be led to look with a more or less kindly eye o h sats h s ,vould ot:i i:.vise condemn when he knows that open condemnation by hien means the loss of a prospective office. It should be made a fixed rule that a bye -election shall take place within a specified time after .a vacancy occurs. It should be an equally fixed rule that nu member of a Legislature, or of Parliament, shell be eligible for office, or, indeed, until at least a year after the expiration of the term for which he was elected. BANKERS AND FARMERS Bankers have sometimes been criti- cized for their interest in agriculture. A writer in the Breeders' Gazette sug- gests that bankers should assume a de- finite position regarding a few of the fundamentals of the agricultural situ- ation. Bankers, he says, have a clear know- ledge of the agricultural value of their community and should stand like a stone wall against the exploitation of the country community by money mak- ing concerns and land companies. In- nocent investors are induced to put their hard savings in some wild cat scheme for which the country is in no way ad- apted and never could be made a paying proposition. 'I be banker occupies a position in pub- lic esteem held by men of no other class. It is assumed that he is rich, knows the road to success, and has some peculiar faculty of judging the right from the, wrong. This position which the public has given to him is a valuable asset for ali matters of improvement. It means that the public will take his advice wnen it will take the advice of no one ( 6e. fills trust puts an obligation upon the banker, particularly now that he Las c:..eret1 upon the field of agricul- ture OPPORTUNITIES IN FARMING There is no profession to -day which offers greater inducement to young men than farming. Luther Burbank, a man qualified to make such a statement, says that the greatest opportunity for our boys and young men is in agriculture. He shows that after the young man has spent eight years at hard study of medicine, law, or engineering, he has not made a success; he is only prepared the battle for it, in greatly overcrowded fields. You will find relief in Zam-Bak ! tt eases the burning, stinging pain, stops Weeding and brings ease. Perseverance, with Zam.. Buk, means cunei. Why not prove this ? An eta Storax.-. Farmers, on the other hand, are pro- ducing from the first day they turn a sod on the farm. He is the real factor to -day upon which the increase of the nation's wealth depends. "If one kernel of corn," said Mr. Burbank, "were added to each ear gtown in thin country annually, it would increase the supply by five mil- lion bushels. One improvement in the potato is already paying back seventeen million dollars a year. What the world urgently needs, and now, is men who can increase the forage from cur present acreage so that sixteen cents will buy a pound of the choicest sirloin, as of old, instead of a pound of rump, as now." Felt to a Fa nt. Mrs. Edwin Martin, Ayer's Cliff, Que., writes: "Before using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food I was in a terrible condition. Dizzy spells would come over me and I would fall to the floor. I could not sweep without fainting. Dr. Chase's Nerve Food has so built up my system that I can wash and do my housework. Your medicine cured me when doctors had failed. Personals.

One in Three Asks Divorce! (Kansas City Times.) Ohioans to -day found this answer in the new report of Mr. Graves, Secre- tary of State: - "Divorce, if it can be taken from an index shows that in Ohio woman's love ends first." The figures show divorce is on the increase, with marriage on the decrease. High cost of living, ease with which divorce may be obtained, woman's growing independence, are some of the reasons given. Two hundred and seventy-six divorces were granted husbands in Ohio courts last year on the ground of their wives' unfaithfulness. That's nearly twice as many as wives got for the same reason. Aside from the point of fidelity how- ever, Ohio husbands have a woeful re- cord against them. Five thousand seven hundred and twenty-four divorces were granted in the State during 1912. Four thousand two hundred and ninety of them went to women. On charges of drunkenness, absence and neglect, cruelty and fraud, men outnumbered women cases six to one. 3[ore than one out of every eight marriages in Ohio finds its sequel in the divorce court. Last year 43,357 brides vowed eternal love and obedience at the alter. To -day 5.724 of them are di- vorced. And that isn't the worst of it, either. In addition to the six thousand divorces granted more than eight thou- sand more couples tried to get decrees and failed, chiefly because of refine' of courts to grant them. In 194 and in 1908 more than forty- six thousand couples were married, as against 43,857 last year. The cost of living has made its general increases in the last six years. The above figures show that, while more than one divorde is granted for each eight marriages, the total number of divorces sought is une out of every three marriages. Sister St. Dosithee, aged 90, and Sister Marte Marguerite, 81, who had baen respectively 68 and 51 years in the Order of Notre Dame, died at Montreal on the same day.

Gidn+y+, Kidney troubles are so frightfully common because the kidneys are so easily upset by overwork or excesses of eaii ,g and drinking. Cure is effected not b; whipping them on to renewed effort, but by awakening the action of the liver and bowels by the use of Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills. This rests the kidneys and makes them well. Backache and urinary disorders then di .appear.

A Gurney -Oxford with its wonderful devices for the saving of time and labor enables you to be independent, if from necessity or choice you are without a servant. The Divided Flue distributes the heat evenly throughout the oven, and by means of the Econo- mizer the temperature is determined, kept constant, or changed as desired. It is easily controlled by a little lever working around six notches. Dough and batter -mixtures will always be light, thoroughly cooked, and nicely browned. This range has smooth top castings that do not hold the dirt ; and a nickle trimming that can be removed and polished. If you must do your own work you owe it to yourself and to your family to spend less time in the kitchen. No woman need be a drudge with a Gurney- Oxford range. W. J.

Any Woman May Make Traveling by Sleeping Car Almost Comfortable by Observing a Little Forethought In Planning Her Equipment. My Dear Elsa -Don't you think men are more fastidious about small things than women? 1 have reached the con- clusion that they are, and 1 was made to reflect upon this subject the other day when Dick, speaking about a girl whom he had met lately, agreed that she was mighty good looking, etc. "But," he added, "I don't like looking at her. Her hair is never tidy, pieces of it stream down the back, and there is something about the back of her waist that is disorderly." I am giving you his own masculine expressions. I really think neatness appeals immensely to men. Soiled gloves, crushed handkerchiefs, untidy footgear have probably done more to disillusion the masculine creature than the culprits who permit themselves these disorders ever imagine. I think men.are more fastidious than women about food and table appoint- ments. They don't insist upon the lat- est styles in centerpieces or small sil- ver, but they demand a certain general average of good form, one might call it, in the appearance of the table and in the attractive serving of viands. Perhaps this is because women are habituated to the seamy side of cook- ing and to the sight of uncooked arti- cles. Men see only the results of all these processes, some of them disagree- able enough, whereas even the most fastidious mistress sometimes, how- ever reluctantly, comes upon the kitch- en operator in the midst of a far from aesthetic task. Yes, the gilded youth of today is a most fastidious person. His chief cult is himself, and anything that jars upon his sensitive nerves and his "culture" seems a heinous of- fense. Now let's talk about motor bonnets. You're interested in them, and so am t, although I only ride in the cars of friends. Still one has to have suitable togs even for these occasional spins. One of the most satisfactory mate441 - rials I have found for the summer mo- tor bonnet is eponge. It sheds the dust quickly, and if saturated with dirt and the stains of travel It cau be easily laundered. One can make these bonnets at home for very little money. Care should be taken in shaping them to have a protection for the hair in the back. Many of the motor bonnets of eporige have a cuff or front portion of the new futurist or cubist silk, with rosettes of the eponge at either side. But don't, as you value your artistic reputation, indulge in cubist silks for any sartorial purpose whatsoever. The designs are an abomination and like nothing that has ever been seen on land or sea, except from a cubist standpoint. The tailored types of motor bonnets are popular this year for golf and ten- nis, and for a windy day on the links or tennis court they are ideal. Raffia bonnets are so very light in weight and so very cool and comfortable on a hot day that they are in as much demand this season as they were last, despite the fact that they are no longer a nov- elty. Another advantage is that if one is clever with raffia a charming little piece of motor headgear may be made for a song. A becoming effect is gain- ed by lining the bonnet with a bright colored silk and repeating the same color in the bow of ribbon used as trimming or in the tiny cluster of satin flowers. You want to know how to Comfort- ably travel on a sleeping car? As this will be your first experience on a long railydad trip I shall go into perhaps tiresome details as to "what to do." In the first place toilet articles should be so condensed that a heavy suit case will not have to be opened to reach them. It is usually safe to leave a case under the berth, 1f the upper berth is not occupied and you have a lower berth you can sometimes use the upper one for the stowing away of your clothing, but failing this, with a hatpin you can fasten your skirt and petticoat to the heavy curtain and if a folding coat hanger is not in your kit the coat, too. may be attached to the curtain. If the passengers aboard include many women they will probably take their own deliberate time in the dress- ing room and if the destination is to be reached early in the morning it is possible to nearly complete your toilet in the berth. I never take down my hair at night, but remove the shell pins and tle my locks up securely in veil. A bottle of alcohol I always carry in lily hand bag for cleansing my face. Here's a good tip. If the stateroom is not occupied give the porter an extra fee and it's yours for .a dressing room. I always feel safer sleeping in a light robe, for it an accident should happen a dark mass could not be easily discerned under the- debris. Another idea which originated with an optimis- tic friend of mine is to have a shoe near the window. In case of a wreck the heel can be used to break the win- dow glass and make escape more pos- sible. 'Ary last suggestion is this: Wrap your 'watch and purse in your stocking, and you won't forget it, for stockings are things one does not often appear with- out With best wisbep for a jolly trip, >e's3t14tn1J ' your" ytAMM.
