Mr. Meighen represent- ed all the people of Canada over there, those doubts must he dispelled by the vote cast on Monday since it is evident that as far as western Canada Is con- cerned and the same applies to the east also, the government represents nobody but itself.

With the defeat of the government le Medicine Hat there is a krowiiig ten- dency to talk of a fall session of P,arlia- most to be followed by a general' elect ion. Before going overseas the Prime Ministerwarned his followers that .fhey mend their fences which had fallen into disrepair and get ready for a general appeal to the eountry. On the other hand, however, the government has given ample evidence of its Intention to hang on until the bitter end and the longer it hangs on the more bitter the • end, A general election must come next 'year, and pfeparation for that will be. the feature of the next session of Par- liament, whether that is held in the fall or in the spring, , There is a likelihood'ot the confer- ence in 'London continuing through July according to the press despatches reaching this country and that means that little attention will be paid by the government, to purely Canadian af- fairs until fall. Mr. Justice Panneton has been nansed a commissioner to in- vestigate Hon.

Mrs. D. Cartwright, 89 Clinton 81 Hamilton, Ont., writes:—"I cannot speak too highly of Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills, in fact,.I would not be without them, as think they are the best possible remedy for the liver." Milburn's Laxe-Liver Pills are ree.' a vial at all dealers or mailed direct on receipt of price by The. T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto. Ont. "To -night sure • —on the 4.401" ae • ! 1Tgt1 For the Quick Service —that brings repeat orders "ET me get him on Long Distance, and I'll Soon settle this"— says the shrewd business man, as an emergency arises. His personality, with the persuasive tones that helped him build up his business in the old days, is still the 1 greatest force at his command, and it never fails to bring the needed results. Long Distance permits him to retain that personal contact and influence with men in distant places, on which his success was built. "If one of our travellers fails to secure an important order, he gets me on Long Distance before the interview is over, and I nearly always land it." The power of Long Distance as a business -getter is only beginning to be appreciated, "Use the 'Bell' to Sell", and see how economically it produces results.
