But few People when buying shoes ever give the leathers of which the shoes are made, any consideration! Leathers of the same name are not always alike by any manner of means! There are good leathers and poor leathers known by the same name! On the grade of the leather used depends largely the life and the satisfaction you get out of your shoes! THE BEST OF LEATHERS Our shoes are made from the best of stock—not seconds. The leathers are selected 'with the greatest care by men of great experience! That't what makes— OUR SHOES SO GOOD Men's Shoes $6.00, $6.50, $7.50 up tel $10.00 Women's Shoes $4.00, $6.00, $7.50 up to $10.00 Soldiers' Bodies in the house of conm,ns Major - Gen. S. C. Newburn, minister of mili- tia, in reply to a member, announced that bodies of officers and soldiers would not be brought back from Prance or Belgium. Bodies of officers and soldiers aright be brought back from the United Kingduun, but not at public expense. Must Get Consent. Amendments to the Marriage Act re- quiring written consent of parents for the marriage of minors, were reported favorably by the legal committee of the legislature. The issurer of the mar- riage license is required to take evid- ence in writing of such consent and to see that birth certificates of the con- tratcing parties are -attached to the parental consent. Another clause gives courts power to nullify marriages con- tracted contrary to law, where the parties refuse to give .evidence. Higher Speed Limit. No longer will motorists who speed up to 20 miles an hour,jat,town or 25 miles in the country need to watch rip- rehensively for the appearance of a minion of the law armed with a stop watch. The municipal committee of the Legislative decided •that a 1 5 -mile limit in the lily and .town and a 20 - mile limit in the country is too tight a check to place upon eeen„he owner of a small car, and although sundry mem- bers from the rural section ,voiced loud objections, the committee 6boosted the limit five miles in each case. Halifax To} 1$e Used It is expected that .the ,debarlta- tion of returning 'Canadian troops will continue at Halifax Airing .the summer months, and that few of the troopships which have been coming to Halifax Ibis 'winter,wlli be transferred to the St. Lawrence route.

D. Chowen general ,sup-- erintendent of the Methot.at Church, has called upon all the Methodist con- gregations in 'Canada and Newfound- land to celebrate the victorious close of the great war by the total abolition of pew rents wihin the denomination. Dr. Chown's statement says: "Pew rents in. a house of fellowship are out of :place. If they were once timely, they are now an anarchronisnl. They are not dem- ocratic. They are a barrier to the re- turning sbidiier, is it not true that the ;state of round which resents the incon- venience of pernniting strangers to oc- cupy pews or seats in common with us is a proof that we are unfitted for the service of the people? No church building is too good for the common people. Every impediment to their ex- istence should be removed,5' Entitled to Vote, Parties who are entitled to vote at Municipal, Provincial and Federal elec- tions, Every person shall be entitled to be entered on the voters' list who is of the full age of 21 years, a British subject not disqualified and rated on the last revised assessment roll at ,$100 in villages and townships $200 i 'downs With a population not exceeding 3,000 add $300 in other towns and $400 in cities. Chap. 20 of the Dominion statu- tes of 1918 says:—"Every female per- son shall be entitled to vote at Domin- ion elections who is a British subject, and of the full age of 21 years, and Who possesses the qualifications Which would entitle 'a male person to vote." it will be seen that the female must have the qualifications es a male voter.
