In Hospitals; Standard Skin Cure. }low many hospital patlmate, suffer• ing the frightful itch, the raw scorch- ing pain of skin disease, have been tioothed to 'sleep by a soothing fluid washed in by the nurse's hands? That fluid is the famous D, D. D. prescription for eczema, The Supervising Nurse of one of our prominent Catholic institutions m Cna e of num and institute on appli- cation) writes regarding a patient. "The disease had eaten her eyebrows away. Her nose and lips had become disfigured. Since the use of D, D. D, her eyebrows are growing, her nose and face have mourned, their natural expression." How many eczema sufferers are pay. ing their doctors for regular treat- ment and are being treated with this same soothing, healing fluid ? Dr. Geo. T. Richardson frankly writes "D. D. D. is superior to any- thiug I have ever found. Soft and soothing, yet a powerful agent." To do the work, D. D.

A powerful condemnation of the late Laurier Government is found in an of- ficial Blue Book just issued by the De- partment of Marine and Fisheries. In simple figures it tells the story of the ruinous decline of our merchant marine under fifteen years of Liberal rule, Time was wllen the Canadian Ensign was to be Been upon every sea, and its presence proclaimed the largest, fast- est, and finest ships, Way back in the good old days of Sir John Macdonald, when the nation was scarcely out of its swaddling clothes, the Canadian flag covered a tonnage of 1,800,000. Our sailors were Been in every port, and we challenged the supremacy upon the seas of the greatest of MarintineStates. With what pride does the Canadian school boy scan those figures? And, how eagerly doee he turn to the next decade. hoping to see his country's marine, the greatest in all the world? DECLINED IN ELEVEN 'YEARS TO 706,000 TONS Alas for those who pinned their faith in Laurier and Conadian Liberalism! After eleven years of the Laurier regime --from 1806 to 1907—our marine tonnage had fallen to 796,000. Think of it, 0 ye children of Canadian sailors! Hardly fifteen years after beneficient Conservative rule had made the sails of Canadian ships to dot the four seas of the Universe, the Canadian Ensign has almost disappeared from the ocean and more than four•fifthe of our com- merce is carried by the vessels of other nations, For fifteen years Laurier refused to .raise a hand to aid Canadian ship- building. He discouraged Canadian shipbuilders by giving to their foreign and outside competitors the contracts for the construction of every vessel used in the Government service, And because of petty political considerat- ions he refused to construct needed facilities in a number of our bigg,r porta.. With that lack of vision which characterized h i s adminetration throughout, he ,failed to provide for the national development, and the Conservatives came into power in 1911, to find—what? That this great Dominion, with a sea coast of thou- sands of miles, did not possess a single dry-dock capable of accommodating a vessel of even medium tonnage. And this was the record of the. party that last year represented itself as the friend of the Canadian shipbuilder— the champion of Canadian ships, built by Canadians, and manned by Canad- ian seamen. A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER RAS COME With the advent to power of Borden and the constructive party, there has come a change. In the three years since 1911 there has been a substantial increase in the tonnage of our mer- chant marine. Premier Borden, has laid down the policy that all ships re- quired for the Government service, must be constructed as far as possible in Canada, In his great speech on the Naval question last year the Prime Minister went emphatically and un- mistakably on record as being favour- able to the immediate construction of light cruisers and warships in Canada. In addition, the Government is pro- viding great shipping facilities in all coast cities. A great dry-dock is be ing constructed at Levis ; another at Halifax ; another at St, John ; another at Esquimault ; and another at Mon- treal.) Shipyards are being establish ed in all the bigger ports. The criminal negligence of fifteen years of feeble administration is being redeemed. And Canadiai;s may again look forward to the day when their Country will have regained the proud position she held under Conservative rule in the past, among the Maritime nations of the world.•.

Jobs Stanfield, Ali, P., wet govern. went Whip, John Stanfield, chief Government Whip, will always be known In Ottawa as the than who broke the "solid eighteen," The solid phalanx of Lib- eral members which Hon. W. S. Field• ing had led to Ottawa year after year from Nova Scotia received its death blow when the young Conservative stalwart from sColcbester, in the fewoue by-election of 1907, was Victore,, Itwas one of the signs which wa rightly interpreted as marking the beginning of the end for the rule • of the Lanrier Government, And the same qualities which impressed them- selves upon the hard -beaded electors of Colchester county in that famous fight of 197!7 coop won, in the House of.Oommons, for John Stanfield the same eminent place in the esteem of his fellow members. John Stanfield is today chief whip of the Conservative forces in the house of Commons. That position he was mimed to after the general election of 1911, when the Coneervative forces came back victorious from the country and received the reins of power. He succeeded in that position lion. George Perlev, whose fortune it bad been to lead hie party through what the face- tious alwa•vs nailed '"the nearly gates." POSITION NO SINECURE. The position of chief whip is no eine cure, whether of Government or Oppo- sition forces. In the former, in this case, perhaps, it is the more difficult. beceesse the large majority held by the Borden Government was, in the begin• nine, conducive to carelessness on the part of Government members, who imagined that their abstention from a party division would not have any ap• preciable effect. But to John. Stan- field, who is responsible for the attend- ance of members at important divi- sions in the House, abstention from, duty was and is a crime. Today members have become so well schooled in their duties in this respect that the chief Government whip finds that his precepts and teachings are well ob- served, and within the last few days Mr. Stanfield bad what to him must have been an exquisite pleasure, when there was rolled up on the first vote in the 0. N. R, debate the largest major- ty since the present Government came into power. HE HAS ASSISTANTS. For the marshalling of the party forces at Ottawa there is provided an elaborate machinery. It is at the head of this that the chief whip stands. He must, through his lieutenants, be in close touch with the whereabouts of every member of his party at all times when the house is in session and when there is any liklihood of a division taking place. For this purpose there are appointed assistant whips for the various provinces, one for a province having but a few members, two and even three for the provinces., which send a large delegation to Ottawa. The whole force is en duty in times when critical questions are being dis- cussed, and woe betide the lieutenant who falls down in the duty of having his men on hand. It is the practical side of politics that has to be played at Ottawa if the principles for which the party stands are to be really carried out, DEMANDS SACRIFICE. This devotion to duty demands nat- urally considerable sacrifice' from the chief whip, It is a tribute to the in- herent principles of Conservatives that they can attract young men with large business interests like Mr. Stanfield to spend six and seven months of the year in Ottawa, far from their own work, for the purpose of advancing the cause of the people. To those who are continually decrying the decay of unselfishness in polities, there is be- fore them the example of men like Stanfield, who work hard for the sake of their party and the people at what must be to them a constant financial lose, Other men with large business interests criticize from afar, but take care not to enter into the party struggle themselves. Such men can learn some lessons from many young men in the Conservative party today who are imbued with a strong sense of the greatness of the 'Dominion and of how they can exert strong influences for its uplifting and betterment. The interests of the chief whip are not alone confined to politics and buei- ness for he takes a keen interest in the militia movetnent. Ho is today the the Honourary Lieutenant Colonel in the 7th Colchester and pante Rifles, a regiment that has a record for shoot. ing and for general efficiency, due in no small degree to the personal in- terest which Colonel Stanfield has taken in their work.

John Stanfield has never yet had his word questioned in the House, and on more than one occasion since the present party came into power the leader of the Opposition has given voice in the Chamber to his appreciation of the manner in which the chief Govern ment whip has always carried out his promises. For John Stanfield a verbal agreement with a party opponent is as sacred as if It were sworn to on a Bible, or sealed in a document, Thus the man who, in a sense, holds in hie own personal keeping the Individual honour of every member of hie party, has done credit to each of them by his high sense of private and public duty ,...,..............,.., JUNE SALES ,,,.

Knox PRONE 65 OPPOSITE NATIONAL HOTEL THE GOOD OF THE PARTY, Mr. Stanfield receives no pay for his work. He sitilply carries out the task alloted to him, expecting nothing but that the good of his party may be fin- ally sought. In the end to such men the gode are good, and in a growing country like Canada, where honour- able positions in the state are continu- ally requiring men of the calibre of the chief Conservative whip, there is sure to be found a place for the mem- ber for Colchester, But for the pre- sent he finds a daily delight in assist- ing the Borden Government in carry- ing out the mandates given to them by the people. And in such a work he plays no small part, and does it well. Severe Storm.
