AS VERY ILL .A YEAR AGO royincial;Treasurer Never Recovered From Serious Attack of Heart Trou- ble—Was at rou-ble—Was'at Work In His Office • on Friday Night — Served as Member for South Lanark For • Five Terms — A '66 Veteran. 'TORONTO, an; -27.—Hop. Arthur James Matheson, Provincial Treasur- er, died suddenly at his 'home in Perth, Ont., at 11 o'clock Saturday night. In. the death of ail. Matheson, Ontario loses Koine of its oldest public men. Since 1894 he had represented South Lanark in the Ontario Legis- lature, and during the reign of the Whitney Government, since 1905, he was Provincial Treasurer. His death Was entirely unexpected, although he had been suffering from heart trouble for a number of years. He worked in his office at the Parliament Buildings until lash Friday night, He left for his glome town,. Perth, bn Saturday morning. Several hours after his ar- rival he was stricken and died at 11 o'clock. Col. Matheson had never fully re- covered from his illness of• a year ago. Just prior to the opening of the Legis- lature last year he was taken ill at the_ Parliament Buildingsand was Hospital. to the Western He was confined there for several weeks, and at times his condition was such that it was feared that he could not recover. However, he rallied, and be- fore the Close off the session, he was HON. A. J. MATHESON. ;able to resume his duties as Provin- ;eial Treasurer. Col, Matheson was born in Perth, Ont„ in Dec. 8, 1842, and was a son of the late Hon, and Mrs. Roderick Matheson. His father was a Senator for a number of years. Col. Matheson Was educated at Upper Canada Col- lege' and Trinity University, Toronto, from which he graduated a bachelor of arts in 1805. Five years later he was called to the liar and had for a number of years subsequent practiced law in Perth. He served several years in the council of Perth and in 183 he was elected mayor, -which office he held for a long period. He vas u'i to .his death a member of the council of (Trinity Colleen. Col. Matheson came from a family of fighting stuck, both military and 'politically. His father was lieutenant and paymaster 11T the Glengarry Light Infantry in the war of 1812, The late Provincial Treasurer, himself, took a first-class certificate in the military school and served in the'Fenian Laid in 1866 on the St. Lawrence frontier. He was gazetted a captain in 1881, and major in 1885, and in 1866, after having volunteered with his corps for service in the Northwest Rebellion, he was promoted to lieutenant -colonel, commanding the 42nd Regiment until 1898. Two years later he was appoint- ed a brigadier at the volunteer militia. He Was a staunch Conservative and was never defeated in an election. He was returned to Parliament five times as a representative of South Lanark. During the years of Opposition of the Conservative party he was one of the keenest debater's on their side of the 'House, particularly in matters of fin- ance, to which he showed a special aptitude. He was a well-known public Man throughout the province, and ap- peared on various platforms in aid of his Conservative colleagues. When the party, under the control of Sir James Whitney, came into power in 4905,. he was taken into the Cabinet 'and given the portfolio of Treasurer. He never married, but lived with two sisters and a brother in the town el, Perth until appointed Provincial •r rea surer��l.he n le made his s home e in the Cuee7lSs. �otel.' -He made fre- glleiTt"tnsii:s' to his constrtueno`y. He was very popular' car b i eidea.g t1Je House and a '9fl of eC6eptionally good qualities, He was quiet and un- assuming, a gentleman of the old school, and no one could have been , more courteous and kindly,' -'g Suffered With Kidney Trouble For Ten Years: Those who have neves been troubled with kidney trouble do not know the 'suffering and misery which those af- flicted undergo. Weak, lame or aching back comes from the kidneys, and when the kidneys are out of order the whole system becomes • deranged. • Doan's Kidney Pills go right to the seat of the trouble, and make their action regular and natural. Miss Mary Daley, Penfield Ridge; N.B., writes:—"I now take great plea- sure in expressing myself for the benefit 1 have obtained from your wonderful medicine, Doan's Kidney Pills. Having been a sufferer with kidney trouble for the last ten years, and having spent.hun- dreds of dollars in the so-called !Quack' cures, from which I derived no benefit whatever, and after having been advised -' . to try Doan's Kidney "Pills, I at once purchased a box and from the first ob- 1 tanned relief, and after having taken five • boxes am now completer cured. " Down's Kidney P1115 are 50 cents per box, or three boxes for $1.25, at all dealers, ,or mailed direct on receipt of ; price by The T. Milburn Co, Limited, Toronto, Ont.

Has. , He wou'd Shake Off the Confidence Inspired' by Plaudits for Ceremonial .•_1aradesa andMahe Greater Preparations re arations for Defence. 'Ottawa, Jan. 28. -The • year's work in the Canadian Militia is re- viewed in the annual report of the 11Tilitia Council presented by Col. Hughes. The one object songht, says the report, was preparedness for' hear, the power to nlobiliee at short, notice a force of adequate strength, well-trained and fully equipped, In the scheme of de- fence a few readjustments have been • made,. but no important changes introduced.' General Otter makes some 'pertin- ent observations, 'The main, obstacles' to our effi ciency,' he remarks, `present theist - selves in two forms t,- lack of money on the one hand and, the Profusion of it in the form of ant cessfui enterprises on the other, The former, militating against the provision of armories and equip - anent, rifle ranges and training grounds, and so placing obstacles in the prosecution of effective training in its full significance ; the latter prevents individuals from sparing the time necessary to fit themselves for the militia duties' they have assumed.' General Otter goes on to say that not enough serious thought is giv- en to neglect of preparation for de- fence. Is it not imperative, he asks, that we possess a military force adequate to bear the first brunt of conflict or in any event cause the invader to stop and think on the threshold. He expresses the behief that the plaudits for church or ceremonial parades may have lulled us into the belief that we are fit and capable for any in- vasion and that we are encourag- ing a rude awakening and irrepar- able loss some day. Respecting mobilization, the re- port claims that the general scheme is assuming definite shape. It depends for its success on de- centralization, Division com- manders will be given as free a hand as possible and not required to adopt a uniform system. The peace strength of the militia com- pared to war establishment is re- latively low. An inter -departmental commit- tee, composed of the director of naval service, chief of the general staff, and general staff officer for mobilization, has been formed. Seventeen officer's •took instruc- tional courses in England during the year. The report deals at GENERAL W, W. OTTER. length with the instructional schools of the militia int Canada, which is the last fiscal year grant- ed certificates, to 1,724 officers. In the year forty officers were ap- pointed to the permanent staff, The permanent force now com- prises 3,118 men of which 202 are officers. The largest number, 1201, are at Halifax, Quebec coming second with 404, Toronto with 3.15, and Kingston with 3.11. The year's expenditure under votes ivas $7,- 558,281, and by statute $21,600, This was an increase of $791,9.17. .A. total. of 38,991 men received ef- ficiency pay aggregating $174,053. The Inspector -General reports fifteen city corps as good, twenty- one as fair, three indifferent, and two disorganized. in regard to rural Corp.seight are classed as good, 29 as fair, 15 indifferent. and three disorganized. The establish- ment is 1,109 officers and 16.925 hon -toms. and men, while ' the number trained was 1,019 officers and 11,558 men, PALE ANAEMIC GIRLS Find New Health Through 1)r. i`iElile;lls' Pink Pills kill' Pale People There must be no guesswork in the. treatment of pale, anaemic girls. If your daughter is languid, has a sallow complexion, is short of breath, especially on going up- stairs; if she has palpitation of the heart, a poor appetite, or a tenden- cy to faint, she has anaemia—which. means poverty of the blood. Any delay fn treatment may leave her weals and sickly for the rest of her life -delay may even result in consumption, that most hopeless of diseases. When the blood is poor watery, there is only one cer- tain cure—that is Dr. Williams. Pink Pills, coupled with nourish- 1 ing food and gentle out-of-door exercise, Dr, Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood, which flowing through veins stimulate the nerves, increases the appetite, give brightness to the eye, a glow of health to the cheek, and makes l weak, despondent girls full of healthy activity. The case of Miss T.. H. Lassalle, Sorel, Que., is typi-, cal of the cures made by Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, She says: "I was weak and all run down. My face was pale and covered with pimples. Mylips were pale. I suffered from pains in all my limbs, which would at times be swollen. I was hardly ever free from head- aches, and I found work about the house a burden, as the least effort left me fatigued and breathless. I had no appetite, and notwith- standing that I was constantly doctoring I seemed to be growing worse all the time„ One day another said that she thought I ought to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pil] and I decided to do so. I soon *cover- ed that I had found the right medi- cine, and after using nine boxes I was once more enjoying the beet of health, and I have not been un- well a day since," You can et g Dr, Williams, Pink Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, AT$5 PER ;i1^:D. Nationalist Warns French of the Cost of Naval Schemes, MONTREAL, Jan. 27.—Le Nation- ' alist, the weekly edition of Le Dcvoir, has discovered that the naval .con- tribution of $35,000,000 will take five dollars a head.out of the Quebec farm- ers. The Bourassa writer calculates that the County of St. Hyacinthe, for instance, with a population of. 28,000, will have to contribute $140,000 to help England, while in the united counties of St. Maurice and Cham- plain, with a population of 78,000, the amount raised will be $390,000. Of coni'se, Le Nationalist, takes pains to explain 'that a Government agent will not go round amongst the farmers and oolleat five dollars from each house, but it states that every yard' of • cotton and every ` pound of eugar they buy will be subject to the. irjposton behalf of English lords, who arc shareholders in thte:Kr'upp-Maxim- Vicl cis' Trust. The .price is too dear," it declares, "Ler the •honor. :of ' being a British eubjeot:'' reed To Kid i Archduke rchdure L o ' ui . s PARIS, Jan 27.—A Barcelona r de- spatcl1 to the Petit l'a i ten reports au at a opt to assassinate Archduke Louis Saivator, of Tuscans While the archduke was wa.lkine in the grounds of his estate at Mount Ramir, ii, the Palearic :Lslanrls, a workman umphiy• ed oil the estate fired at hint several times with a revolver.

INDIGESTION FIVE YEARS Relieved by Vinol. Strength and `even life itself de- pends upon the nourishment and proper assimilation of food, and unless digestion is good, the whale body silt- fers.

Nobody knows hew I suffered, "I tried a great many doctors and a great many kinds of medicine, but nothing did .any good until I tool Vinol. It has helped me wonderfully.
