LIQUOR CIRCULAR WILL BE PROBED
License Board and Alliance Officer Will
Act—Matter will be Thoroughly
Investigated.
Both the Ontario License Board and
a law enforcement officer of the Ont-
ario branch of the Dominion Alliance
yvill investigate the ciruclar said to have
been sent by a Montreal liquor house
to Ontario federal candidates.
This circular explains how election
liquors can be shipped into Ontario
from Quebec.
The Ontario license board's atten-
tion was drawn to this "wet" litera-
ture.
• "1 shall study the circular carefully,"
said Vice -Chairman Dingman. "At
the present moneni, as you read it, the
circular looks to be an Incitement to
commit bribery for election purposes.
We shall go into the matter."
"I haven't seen the circular," saki
Frank Raney, haw enforcement olli-
cer •of the Dominion alliance, Lums-
den building, Toronto, ''but, if these
circulars are being issued, the matteer
is interesting. Of course there is no
Dominion law denying the mals to
Liquor advertising. But the Dominion
Election act may apply; Section 266
deals with the treating of any person
by a candidate and it also affects any
accessory to such treating. Under the
law, guilt means a forfeiture of 5200
to any person suing.
"Section 267 makes it an incbictable
offense to furnish liquor to an elector
"We must Zook into this alleged cir-
cular."

Government have been looking into
this terrible crime for three weeks, an'd
maybe they will look until after the ele-
ction, for nothing is being done as yet,
FIRST MARITIME REGIMENT
The first body of soldiers destined
specially for service on board ships
of war was organized in England in
1664, when by an order -in -council a
regiment of one thousand two hun-
dred land soldiers, who were to be
always held in readiness for distri-
bution in his majesty's fleets, was
raised. This regiment was placed un-
der the orders of the Duke of York,
ford high admiral. and, under the
name of the Admiral's Maritime regi-
ment, was considered as the 3rd regi-
ment of the infantry of the line. The
uniform of the Admiral's Maritime
regiment consisted of a yellow coat
lined with red, and Its colors were
emblazoned with a red cross, with
solar rays issuing front each of its
angles, The raising of this regiment
was due to the difficulty experienced
in obtaining men enough to nous the
numerous fleets which ' England was
compelled to commission durinig the
long struggle with Holland in the lat-
ter half of the seventeenth century,
The twelve hundred men were not
sufficient; and four years after the
creation of the force another order -
in -council was issued, authorizing the
drafting of such numbers of soldiers
from his majesty's Foot Guards for
service at sea during summer as the
load high admiral might require.

Lesson XL—Fourth Quarter, For
Deo. 16, 1917,
THE iNTERNATIONAI. SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Neh, xili, 16-22.
Memory Verses, 17, 18—Golden Text,
ex, xx, 8—Commentary Preperod by
Rev. D. M, Stearns.
The prayer of Nehemiah in chapter
ix and that of Daniel In Dan, ix are
tivo of the most remarkable prayers iu
the I:ible, apart frons ,Tohn xvii-full of
adoration, confession, humiliation and
true penitence. The words of ikoh. ix,
0, are notable, "Thou art Just in all that
is brought upon us, for thou host done
right, but we have done wickedly?"
Neb. ix, 36, 87, is clear and conclusive
proof that the return from Babylon was
not a fulfillment of Ise. xiv, 1-3. Mark
well the contrast and note that Babfeloo
mast yet be rebuilt to fulfill prophecy,
Neb. x, xH, tells of separations from the
ungodly and the appointment of priests
and Levites and others to their service
and provision for the same. Chapter
slit begins with a reference to Balsam
and his sin and how he could not curse
those whom God had blessed. Then we
meet again one Tobiah, a bad .one, who
had sought to make Nehemiah afraid,
the nobles of Judah standing for lite
against Nehemiah. After acting ns gov-
ernor for twelve years Nehemiah re-
turned to Babylon, but very soon come
back to Jerusalem and found Tobiah
occupy a, chamber its the courts of
the house of God. He quickly cast out
him and his stuff and cleansed the
chambers (Neh. vi, 17-19: xfii, 4-01,
He also chased from him a son-in-
law of Sanballat the Horonite (silt, 281.
Finding that the tithes bad not been
provided for the Levites, be contended
with tile talus because they bad thus
forsaken the house of God, and he
caused that matter to be rectified (sill,
10-14). Finding that Jews had inter-
married with the heathen and that their
childreu spoke partly in the language
of the Jews and partly in another
tongue, he cleansed them from all stran-
gers, reminding them of God's hatred
of such alliances and that even Solo-
mon brought trouble upon himself and
upon Israel by these sins. He was be-
loved of his God, king over all Israel,
among many nations no Icing like him,
yet even him did women of other lands
cause to sin (aiii, 23-31).
\Ve might think that after the Iong
captivity of Juclall and the mercy of
the Lord to them 1115 restoring them
they, of all the tribes, Would be careful
not to sin against such a God of love
0101 merry, but they seem to have been
the leaders in all manner of sin, and
now, after the temple had been rebuilt
and dedicated, the city rebuilt and the
worship of Cod restored, we find in our
Mean portion (verses 15-22) that they
deliberately and persistently broke the
Sabbath day. Nehemiah, with his usual
firmness, testified against them and
against those of other nations who
sought to do business on the Sabbath
and was able to rectify this matter also
We cannot help wondering what a few
lamas and Nehemiahs and Millets
might accomplish in these days of
abounding and iucrealsiug iniquity.
Worldliness on the part of God's pro-
fessing people, neglect of His house and
worship and deliberate breaking of the.

So many people suffer from de-
rangements of the liver that we feel
sure these two reports, Just recently
received, will prove interesting read-
ing and valuable information to many
reade s of this paper.
MrS. F. L. Harris, Keatley P.O.,
Sack., writes : "I was suffering from
liver trouble—had a heavy pain under
one shoulder blade all the time, and
was nearly as,black as dirt around the
eyes, so I concluded to try some of

time I had taken two boxes I was

heavy work out-of-doors, and, of
course, heavy eating and constipation.
I would advise anyone suffering from
kidney or liver trouble to give Dr,
Chase's Pills a trial."
Mrs. Charles Terry, - Tweed, Ont.,
writes : "Before I was married I was
troubled with enlargement of the
liver. My liver became so enlarged
that you could detect the swellings
on either side, and it was only with
difficulty that I could get my clothes
on. A friend advised me to get Dr.
Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills and take
them. I commenced this treatment,
and used nine boxes, which cured me
at that time. Then, about two or
three years afterward I was troubled
again with the swelling, but only on
my right side. I secured some more
Kidney -Liver Pills, and took them,
which finally cured me. I have not
been troubled in this way since. I
can cheerfully recommend Dr. Chase's
Kidney -Liver Pills to anyone having
kidney or liver trouble,
"We have also found Dr, Chase's
Linseed and Turpentine excellent for
coughs and colds, In fact, any of
Dr. Chase's medicines which we have

SAVED FROM AN
UNTIMELY GRAVE
Seldom ]las a more tragic tale been
told than that of this young woman,
whose parents, brothers and sisters
have all died of consumption, leaving
hor alone to make a living as best she
could.
Never robust, hard work and worry
soon undermined her health, when she,
too, become a victim of this dreaded
disease. Shunned by friends who
feared contagion, without funds, for
she had been unable to save from her,
sinall earnings, she seemed doomed,
like the others of her family, to an
unthnely grave. Fortunately, she was
discovered and sent to the Muskoka
Free Hospital, before it was too late,
where she is now doing well, with
every chance of ultimate recovery.
Appeals are now being made for the
Muskoka Free Hospital for Consump-
tives to enable it to continue the great
work of caring for just such cases as
this. No matter how small the gift,
it will be welcome.
