For there is evensleeper gloom there and e renewed talk of erg. ing the Prime Minister to give up the ghost and go to the country, The Gov- ernlllent election engineers had looked over the ground during the Medicine Mat campaign and they came back Isere with an idea that the Farmer Movement under It, W, Wood was on the wane, Not one Conservative was elected and how they are more convinced than ever that there is grave doubt as to the pas- silellity of Alberta sending back even CARTER'S t. s LITTLE L PP S f,9ra� A Purely 'Veg et ble Laxative That 44 eepts the Stomach, Liver Was Street l is in pa. 16ot condition Don't take purgatives for Constipation— , act harshly they overstrain the delicate membrane and leave the Bowels in a worse condition than before. off you 11 are troubled with Constipation, Ind1- €i.

Chas. Murphy who resigned from the building committee as a result of the unnecessary expen- ditures being made. Mr. Murphy stated to the house last session the facts connected with the ret onstruction work on the present build- ing. When the old building was des- troyed, tate government engaged two architects to go aver the ruins•and see what could be salvaged. Their report was that there were wells standing elicit were at least two million` dollars. and that these should be used the new building es they ._were, But, the first thing the conmitte knew, these wails had been dynamited and an asset stated to be worth two million dollars had disappeared. Nobody was able to got any satisfactory explanation of this Piave. 1Vlten the building was to be repine eel, the government called in the friend ly L.yall Construction Co. of Montreal and without calling far tenders, award- ed then the job on a percentage of the anet. The building which was to cost five nnilions, hes already cost double that amount mat neither the architects ror the contractors, are Toeing on the i tetra costs. The work will take another year or two yet before It is completed and then the country will have some- thing which is full of flaws anti in- accuracies, Oise explanation of • the immense cost of the new building is found in the fads which have been followed out in its construction. The floor of the Commons chamber is of teakwood.and ebony. The former was imported from India and is probab- ly the most expesive wood in theworld The ebony cost the country twenty- five cents an ounce and then the floor has to be covered with fibre platting and a carpet to deaden the sound of persons walking on it. After spend- ing thousands of dollars on the floor of the chamber alone It was demonstrated that a floor of common lumber or con- crete would have been just as satis- factory, since' it must be covered with' matting to allow the members to be heard when they are speaking. The floor is a sample of the methods which have been followed throughout in the construction of the building. There has hien a constant building up and tearing down, and a consequent waste of enormous sums of money at this time when economy is being preach ed by the government, which practises the direct opposite. The new building is large, but it is cut up into hundreds of rooms so that it is next to impos- sible for the members to get together at any time, and there is practically no intercourse between then, Heaver, it is expected to provide work for the architects and contractors for another year or two yet, and by that time, if the Meighen Government were still in pow er, they would find some more alter- ations to be spade which would provide for further outlays. r-' - acit') Cotton goat t ;ass i 5131 .rl safe, reriabte rents lits 9trdicatta, 'r{nld in three do. ,;roes of etre„ gth—No, x, sit N2. 2,01; No, 5, 55 per bon Fold lg all difFidata, or aet xepmpbmt:Adpree: T9e'e., COO53 IIMDICIHE Co., a r, TORONTO, I SL Deriver Wlnsisr) 31 i a Brings the Farm: to Town NO that he can order it at once by Long Distance from his favorite dealer in village, town, or city, nothing es too good for the farmer.
