A TORY STALWART
Ottawa, Nov. 1 0. -News of the death
at Markdale of Hon. T. S. Sproule,
former speaker of the House of Com-.
mons, has been received at the capital
with many expressions of regret. The
flag on the Parliament Buildings was
placed at half mast as soon as word of
the event was received, At the time of
his appointment to the Senate in 1 91 5,
Or. Sproule had, with the single ex-
ception of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the dis-
tinction of being the oldest parliamen-
'fartair'rn the Commons. He had repre-
sented North Grey continously since
the general .election of 1879. Dr.
Sproule was one of the stalwarts of the
Conservative Opposition in the fifteen

and there were few debates in which
he did not participate,
The late Dr. Sproule succeeded Mom
N. C. Wallace as grand master of the
Loyal Orange Association, a post which
lie held for a number of years. Recent-
ly he has been in failing health, but he
occasionally participated in the Senate
debates.

calm surface created by their iron

bellion in the hearts of a large part
or the population. One of these
pamphlets has been obtained by a
British correspondent, and the text is
Illuminating. Under the heading,
"Hunger' it declares:

Famine!
"In Leipzig, Berlin, Charlotten-
burg, Brunswick, Magdeburg, Kob-

state of siege, to the hungry cry of
the masses, has only one reply to
make -a state of siege, salvos fired
by the police and Military patrols.
"Dr. von Betinuarm-Hollweg ac-
cuses England of the crime of having
caused famine In Germany, and the
partisans of war to the death and the
supporters of the Government repeat
this idle talk. But the Government
should have known that it was in-
evitable; that war with Russia,
France, and England would result in
a blockade of .Germany. Since the
beginning of time it has been the cus-
tom of noble-souled peoples during
war to harm each other economical-
ly and prevent the importation of
food. War, the assassination of
peoples, is the crime; the plan of
starvation is merely a consequence of
this crime.

the unavoidable penalty of middle life
and old age. Almost every elderly per-
son had rheumatism, as well as many
young people. Medical science did not
understand the trouble -did not know
that it was rooted in the blood. It was
thought that rheumatism was the mere
effect of exposure to cold and damp
and it was treated with liniments and
hot applications, which sometimes gave
temporary relief, but did not cure the
trouble, ln those days there were thou-
sands or rheumatic cripples. Now,
medical science understands that rheu-
matism is a disease pf the blood, and
that with good, rich, red blood any man
or woman of any age can defy rheu-
matistn can be cured by killing the poi-
son in the blood which causes H.
There are many elderly people who
have never felt a twinge of rhetnna-

it by simply keeping their blood rich

widely kr1(0511, and it is the more gen-

"That is a very r:ckless declaration
on your part, for 1 am likely never to

but had a home in the family of Wil-

"You mercenary wretch!" retorte
Miss Carleton; "are you 'already count

"Isabel, 1 31111 shocked!" exclaime
Mainwaring.
"I don't know why," replied the
young lady, coolly, "I was only think

"Undoubtedly, my dear," repliec

added, in a lower tone, and turning to
Mrs, Hogarth, "I do not know that 1,

Mr. Altinwaring, lives very quietly, in

and, 1 may be mistaken, but it cerptin-

occupies rather an anomalous position.
She is here as his housekeeper, a ser-

her manners are anything but those of

"Why shouldn't she, mammal" in-

strawberry shortcake -the nice, juicy

supper, and she couldn't eat any in-
cense he wasn't there, and they
scraped out his share because nobody
else could bear to eat it. Can you

"King Ferdinand of Bulgaria,"
says ft wireless despatch ,from Zu-
rich, "sleeps in a cellar to avoid
danger from allied airmen belonging
to the Salonlca armies."
The despatch adds that the
king's alleged fear is simtlar to
the "cowardice" he displayed in the
Balkan war of 1912-13, when "he
earned the contempt of his staff."
The cellar which forms the king's
present alleged hiding place is said
to be luxuriously furrtished. It has
a ceiling of stel plates which are
bombproof,

of the collection in the Archbishop's
palace at Rheims, which was believ-

bombardment of the city, was found
recently in a heap of debris. It was
somewhat damaged, but can be re-
paired.
