'NORWAY' PINE SYRUP
; CURED HIM.
Mr. Wallace H. Grange, Vancouver,
B.C., writeis "Durkin a cold spell here
about the middle of last October (19I3),,
I caught a cold which got worse despite
all treatnients I could obtain; until
about November 22nd, a friend said,
'Why not try Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup?' Really, I had no faith in
it at the time as 1 had tried nearly every
other remedy I had heard of, to no avail,
but I thought I would give this last
remedy a trial. I purchased a 50 cent
bottle, and in three days I was feeling
a different man, My cold was so hard,
and the coughing so prolonged, that
vomiting occurred after a hard spell of
coughing. I catrjed the bottle in my
pocket, and every time I was seized with
a ccnighing spell 'would take a small dose.
I can most he*. tily recommend Dr.
Wood's Norway Pine Syrup to anyone
with a severe cold, as its powers are most
marvelous, and I never intend being
without it at all times."
When you ask for "Dr. Wood's" see
that you get what you ask for. It is

Saskatchewan Leads
The Government of the Weetern,Pro-
vince of Saskatchewan, under the lead-*-
ertship ,of Premier Scott, has taken a
bold and commendable' stand on* the
Liquor License Question. The policy
adopted by the Saskatchewan Govera-
'rant is the very policy which The lee-
leositor has been \recommending for
years for Ontario. We hope the Ontario
Government will cease its miserable
ribbling and niggling policy on this im-
Dantean question and follow the exam -
pie of the Saskatchewan Government.
They are strong enough .in the Legis-
lature to carry threugh any policy they
Inaugurate, But in this question if they
were to propose a bold and open policy
such as that which wilt be 'adopted in
Sieskatchewae„they could carry it
through ,with, practically.. the unani-
mous consent of the Legislature, Mr.
Rowell and, the Liberals 'would help
and net hinder them. Why then do
hesitate and haggle an hang off?
As lg. is now Saskatchewan will b$
the first province in Canada complete-
ly to abolish the bar. On July 1st next,
Pt o,...14 will theo.retall sale of all in-
toxicating liquors. come. to ',a.i end, but
the ;wholesale trade- will'ne taken over
by the Government and nterated as a
Government Monopoly, under a system
of ,dispeasaries. Later even these dis-
pensaries may be abalishecl, if by a
referendum vote the people of the pro-
vinee to decide. /
This, in 'brief, is the, effecttof an fin-
ncruncement made by Premier Scottgle
addressing a meeting at Oxbow, 'in
that Province, a ,few days ago. Pre-
mier Scott announced the policy - by
which his Government 'was prepared
to stand or fail in the following wet&
"The Government's proposals anent
the liquor guest1m put in brief tnd
concrete firm are the following:
"1 -To issue at aline a proclamation
curtailing the hours Of retail liquor
tale to 7 -o'clock in the evening, be-
ginning ,April 1. ,
4.2 -To convene the Legislative As-
sembly as early as possible in the month
of Way, and submit to the- House a
measure of which the outstanding fea-
tures twill be the abolition -of all bar
and club licenses from July 1, a915, un-
til the eadeng of the War, ,and the tak-
. hvgtover fkiy the Government of the
Wholesale liquor blaillOSE5 throughout
the province immediately. .
"3 -To provide in the measure that
following the ending of the war the
bar .and club licenses shall not be.re-
vived, except as the result a a refer-
endum on the question to be takeh at
the itime of municipal elections held.
atter peace is declared, but not earlier
than December, 1916, a majority vote
to 'decide and- the provincial franchise
to be agrepted' for the referendum; the
Government to pravide most carefully -
'framed safeguards against any irregt-
euch, as personations, false dec-
larations and the use jet liquor or any
other improper inthiences; and for the
more secure discouragement of improp-
er practices, to appoint a prosecutor,
and to fdllow and prosecute infractions.
• "4 -To provide, In the, measure for
maintenance by the Government -un-
der a commissioner having status sim-
Dar V that of (the Provincial ;Auditor,
of ,a 'Oglinc dispensary oe, dispensaries
In (each city or town where at present
wholesale licenses exist, to .be Icnown
as Saskatchewan dispensaries for sale'
of liquors, which must not be consumed
on 'the premises, and under Strict regu-
lations as to quantities, size of' pack-
ages, .etc., -the question of establishing
such Ylispensaries in towns and vil-
lages 'here at present wholesale li-
censes • do not exist to be determined
by a referendum of the municipal el-
ectors to be taken at the tirbe of the
municipal elections.
' provide that in the year 1919,
cr. any subsequent year, on presentation
of a petition signed by 25 per :cent. of
the number of electors who vote at the
next _preceding --provincial election, a
provincial referendum shall he taken
to decide the continuance or abolition
of, the 'proposed dispensaries. dis-
pensaries taken over or opened to re -
...main in operation until aforesaid refer-
endum decides."
The Premier' added that careful con-
sideration had been given {to the ques-
tion of compensation to license -holders,
but ithe decision reachedNwas that, in-
asmuch as such compensation Would
have tto be paid by the province, in
other Words come out of the pockets of
the people and as the peoPle did not
owe Ole license -holders 'anything, it was
not possible to grant compensation.
AUSTRIA -HUNGARY
'Austria is a country about twice the
size of Englan and. Wales, 'and, after
Switzerland, tb k, most mountainous
country in Eura e. Only /25 per cent.' of
the area is occu led by p1a1n8, of which
the largest is he extension of the
gr at Russian ain -which ponstitutes
tfte major part of the province of Gal-
icia. Alang• the principal rivers there
are plains of more or less rnagnitude
possessing very fertile soil.
The highlands of .Apstria form part
of ;the great watershed Of Europe,
which divides the waters flowing into
the North Sea and th,a Baltic from
those flowing into the Mediterranean
or khe Black Sea.
qaIgATE.
The climate of -Austria vvies greatly
on account of the differences in eleva-
tion of its 'surfaee. Along the !Adiratic,
the winters are short and the seasons
equable, and in the winter time, enoev
seldom falls. The vine and corn are ev-
erywhere cultivated, as well as the
olive and other products 'Of the south.
In the . central one ,ethe wihters are
more severe and the summer' hotter.
The :vine and corn are cultivated in
favorable locations, and wheat and oth-
er grains are generally grown. Thc
northern zone comPrises Bohemia, N.
Moravia, Silesia and Galicia,. There the
winters are long and. cold, and the
principal crops are wheat, (barley, oats
rye, Irernp and flax. IThe rainfall aver-
ages :29 to 124 inet_es, but in the vicinite
of the Alps, It sometimes exceeds 60
inches. "
FORESTS
The forests of Austria constitute one
of the great sources of wealth, occupy -
over ,ote-third of the (whole productivo 1
area. Tall coniferous forests predomin-
ate. Forestry is carried on in a
thoroughly ecientific manner.

the result of indoor life, In poorly ven-

Official records prove that in April and
May neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, elipepsy,
and other forms of nerve trouble are at
their worst, and that than more than
any other time, a bloodanaking, nerve- s
restoring. tonic Is needed.
The aertiquated custom of taking-pur-
gatives•in the spring is useless, for the
system really needs strengthening,
while purgatives only gallop through
the bowels, leaving you weaker. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine, for they actually make the new;

nerves, end thus cure the many firma;
of nervous disorders. They cure also
such other fOrMS of spring troubles as -

the limbs, as well as remove tutsightly
pimples and eruptions. In tact they un-
failingly bring new health and strength
to weak, tired and depressed men, wo-
