The curteilment of the liberty of written and spoken speech contained in the Order in Council given to the public -on April 16 has especial con- cern to all who are aware ef the his- tory of free discussion in Canada and Other parts of the British Empire. We are sure we need not beg the House to examine its provisions in order to a,ppreciate how a doctrine of the es- sential infallibility of the Government. may be forced ,upon a free' people on pain af a flne of -five thousand dollars and five years imprisonment. The House, to our extreme regret, has been faced with a notification of the intend- ed eusitailntent 'of the privilege oft a member, ot Parliament to declare hie mind, and the righttof his constituents to know what he has uttered. That this Unique -warning to a freely elected British assembly -wee halted- for sev- eral weeks _on the Order Paver,- we venture respectfully to attribute to you, Mr. Speaker, as the appointed guardian of the liberties Of the House aeal also of the people. It has been .noted that the Prime Minister, in with- drawing the measure, viewed with se much appreheneion from outside the House, ansionriced that' it is likely to be ste-introduced next session.

In order to fagilitate this gigantic task, school boards and teachers, Pataiotie and Red Cross Societies, are inVited to assist the registration' Officials in' every p:ossible manner by providing free of charge suitable buildings- such ,as school houses, etc., and by furnishing volunteer helpers, who may assign their remuneration tc; the Red Cross, if ,deeired, to do the clerical work.

Mr. Speaker, and gentlemen of the House of Commons, the disquiet of the. country of which we are the humble and, inadequate exponents and -whisk danger to our national amity, which, if we loose it, we shall have lost all indeed, cannot lee allayed by a• .per- sistence in the courses, we have so imperfectly sketched. Will the House permit us, with -much deference, but much earnestness to repeat the reminder of one of- its members that the Government is a Corarnittte of Ns House vested with the executive powers of Patliament The responsibility of government, therefore, is ultimately upon this House. Nothin.g appears to have been done to make *se positioo' of members of Parliament, with the regard to the carrying out of the war poliey, cor- tespond to the status which they en- joyed before the practice crept in of making them eubservient to those whom they created and whom. thee - might destroy. In this prolonged crisis of the na- tional fate the honr has arrived to re- establish the inhenent freedom of the House of Commons. We are certain that in that restoration the peoPle of Canada will sustain- you and that the saierificee of war will ultimately be jusinnd and honored in the bless- ings and progress of peace. May we infarct you that We remain hitherto re that respo whose uniin thousand C down their Will the more plainl. • and fuRnel, and drenching bottle. In all cases of sickness it is usu- ally advisable to reduce the ration and provide laxative feeds, such as alfalfa hay, bran, or oil meal. Ani- mals which have lost their appetite may be tempted to eat by being given small quantities of such feeds' as beets, carrots, corn silag_e, bran mash. and a fine quality of hay, on which salt has been sprinkled. Fresh water no colder than that coming from a deen well should be supplied. If the bowels are not moving freely, a drench prepared by dissolving in two to three pints of warm Neater one to one and one- half pounds of Epsom salts, depend- ing mien the size of the animal, should be given. If necessary, the dose May be repeated after a lapse of twelve hours. In giving a drench, an attendant should hold up -the animal's head by a halter or by grasping- the' upper jaw or nostrils, The solution can best be given by the use of a long -necked, heavy glass bottle, which makes it possible to pour the liquid well back into the A trouble that is likely to occur in - the case of the high -producing cow that is in good flesh and specially well prepared for the milking 'sea. - sen is milk fever, which ie to be expected usually shortly after calv- ing. The symptoms are uneasiness and restlessnese, which may de- irelop into excitement. The cow may move wildly about; her limbs become weak, resulting in a stag- gering gait Soon she falls Sown with het head turned toward the flnak, and becomes unconscious. The method of treatment is very simple, and if employed in time is itslialhotlhaccessful. Air is pumped tnrourfi: the milk ducts of the teats until the udder is distended. A tape is then tied about, the teat to prevent the escape of air. A single inflation is often sufficient, but if the air escapes hefore the animal recovers, the udder should be re- inflated. Recovehy usually takes place within a few hours after the - treatment is applied. Inflation can best be accomplish- ed by using a milk -fever outfit, -which can be purchased from any dealer in veterinary supplies. It consists of a metal milk tube which is connected to an air pmr-P bY means of rubber tubing.. Between the air pump and the milk tubejs a chamber containing absorbent cot- ton for filtering the air 'before it enters the -Udder. Before using the_ apparatus, the milk tube and rubber tubing should be disinfected by being boiled or- by being dipped into a strong solution of carbolic -adid. -or coal , tar disinfectant _And„the udder washed with soap and water. A toWel may be laid below the udder to aid in preventing infection during the process of inflation. As a precaution against the oc- currence of the disease, part of the milk may he allowed to remain in the udder during the first teen ,or three days after freshening. The cow may be milked as often as usual, but only enough of the milk should be removed to prevent congestion.
