Nicholson, East Algoma, who was elected chairman, said that if the committee is to do anything to settle the unrest in the country be- cause of the cost of living it would be necessary to get at the cause of present high prices and let the peo- ple know what they are. The en.• quiry Mr. Nicholson said, should be wide open and confined to definite lines, A. B. McCoig asked if Mr. Nichol- son meant that if the committee finds out the cost of the high cost of things it should take steps to bring about a change, Mr. Nicholson having re- pined in the ;affirmative, Mr, MdCoig suggested the appearance before the committee of the sales agents of the International Harvester Company, and the Advance-Rulneley of Winni- peg, to explain the sale of a num- ber of tractors, which he said was sold at higher prices than should have been asked in view of the fact that the government has been bring- ing tractors into the country and at low cost in order to encourage pro- duction. H. H. Stevens, Vancouver, after pointing out that it would be impos• Bible for the enquiry to cover a wide range during the remaining days of the session, moved a resolution sug- gesting that the boards of trade in all the . larger industrial centres of Canada should be asked to appoint a committee to supply the committee of enquiry with imformation relgting to retail and wholesale prices. Mr. Stevens thought the committee' should devote particular attenion to the matter of the spread of prices be- •. tween the manufacturer and the con- sumer, Mr Stevens' proposal : met with considerable opposition on -the score that the board's of trade would not act. E. W. Nesbitt, expressed the opin- ion that the proper way to proceed was to send for maunfacturers„ whole- salers and retailers to give evidence. After further discussion Mr. Stevens' resolution was adopted• in the follow- ' ing form; That with a view to assisting the eommittte we request the mayors of the' followink cities, viz„ Halifax, St. John, Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, Fort William, Port Arthur, Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Edmon- ton, Vancouver and Victoria to form committee consisting of president of the board of trade, president of the trades and labor council, president of the G.

TOOK AWFUL FALLS. Miss Eire P. Yateman, firugersdorf, Ont., writes:- 'I feel that 1 must write and tell • you of the great benefit I have received from Milburn'e heart and Nerve Pols. About three and a halt years ago 1 was taken terribly bad with my heart, nerves and fainting spells, and was down in bed for about six months. I doctored with two different doctors and seemed to get better although the fainting spells would not leave me. 1 would take such terrible falls wherever 1 was that it was not safe' to leave me alone at any time. At last 1 decided to resort to proprietary medicine and took several different kinds, but, seemed t'o'receive but I little benefit from any of them. One day noticing the advertisement ,of Milburnes Heart and Nerve Pills, I decided to try them and before 1 had taken more than two boxes 1 could see they were Ihelping me. I have taken about ten , boxes and am almost cured of those terrible spells. 1 sincerely feel that your medicine has proved a blessing to me, and I would advise anyone troubled with their heart to try it as I am con- fident they will find relief.'

If yotea reckon it up you will probably find that at least 'five per cent. disappears thus "like'snow wreaths in thaw." If you'r weekly wage is "$15.00 you spend' easily 75 cents 'of that on "mere nothings" before you know it. But suppose you said to your employer: "Each week 1 want you to keep 75 cents out of my pay envelope and invest it for me in War Savings Stamps. As you buy each War Savings Stamp put it in my pay envelope, and go on doing that for a year." Von will rimier miss that 75 cents. Lint at the end of the year you will have over $36,00 invested in Savings Stamps, liy then they will lie 'w,artli considerably more than $36.00, add by 1924 they will be worth $45.00.

Good Game Played Friday Night Be- tween Veterans' and Doherty Piano Pushers Spectators who witnessed the base- ball match last Friday night between the teams representing the Veterans' and Doherty's decided that if a loca league could be formed, a good sum. mer's fun. could be had with the local baseball teams, The soldier's team had to call on Stewart and Carrick to help out but The Doherty's seemed to steal 2nd base with ease.+ the rest of them have worn the King's uniform and they added all the thrills of the .evening. Morgan got a three bagger in the sixth; and Gould retired the "Piano smashers" in the third when he made a double, unassisted when he Gould had no trouble in retiring the Piano players in the 3rd. caught Drapers' high fly and touched second before Welsh could get back; and then followed it up by catching Pinning's high fly, The soldiers also had a double in the 4th that saved some runs when Carrick caught hill's long fly at centre and completed the double to second base on Cooper. Mc- Donald who was pitching for the Many batters on botch teams condem- ned the umpire for calling strikes, ' "Vets" hit McDernhid and Fulford in the 4th and had 7 strike outs; while Cooper with the aid of Bobby Shrenk had 8 strike -outs to his credit, Riley Morgan had a nice 3 bagger In the 41is. , aJohnson, Whose reputation is still good Unpp ire Ilan died the indicator, F 1- 1'owing was the line.up:- ;ULDIERS R.

It only took the boys about an hour to finish the game. It is reported that "Blondy" Cook had the nerve to take 50c from his small brother, "Cracker" Cook who is the Vet's catcher -and then to make it worse little Bobby Shrenk took the second 50c from his uncle "Cracker" just to demonstrate that the team he was catching for was the best. We suggest that the hay be cut be- fore the next game is played , There are enough ball players still at large to pick up a town team to form the big 3 -League. Then watch for the fun. Of course Riley Johnson couldn't umpire and play baseball the salve time, even if he thinks so. For a red-blooded sport, Mr .Demp- sey of the Organ Factory is one. He donated a bat and balls as his share to helping their team along. Nobody wants to hit flies out to Murray McEwan as Murray always seems to have tangle -foot on his glove. Well here's hopeing that a 'league will be formed and the New Era is prepared to duo its part in keeping the old .gave going. it's the only way to develop players. RICH, RED BLOOD MEANS HEALTH Weak, Pale People Require a Blood - making Medicine. It took centuries for medical sci- ence to discover that the blood is the life. Now, it is known that if the blood were always abundant, rich and pure, very few people would ever be ill. It was not until the end Of the 19th century that an instru- nhent was invented for measuring the red part of the blood. Then doctors could tell just how anaemic a patient had become, and with medicine to make new blood the patient soon got well. All the blood in the body is nour- ished and kept ricin and red by the food taken daily, but when, for any reason, a person is run down and cannot shake sufficient blood from the food to keep the body in health, then a blood -making medicine is re- quired. The simplest and very best of blood -makers suitable for ]some use by anyone, is Dr", Williams' Pink pills. When a course of these pills is taken in an improved appetite, stronger nerves, a sound digestion and an ability to master your work and enjoy leisure hours, For women there is a prompt relief of, or pre- vention of ailments which make life a burden. Mrs. Thos. Kaake, Tren- ton, Ont„ tells hose she obtained new health and strength through the use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. She says; "The weakness came on me so gradu- ally that at first it was hardly notice- able. But after a time it got so that I could not go up stairs without stopping to rest. Every particle of color left nsy hands and face, and the least exertion would tire me and leave my heart palpitating violently 1 consulted a doctor who told me the Trouble was anaemia and prescribed a tonic, I took this medicine for some time, but it did not seem to help ase a bit. Then t read of a cure in a similar case through Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills and decided to try then. The result was these pills made ase feel like a new wofnan, i have gained all nsy former healtlh and sts'e7ngtll, and feel tihat I owe my present condition entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You Gan get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 5o cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from Tile Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
