0 clearer illustration could,
perhaps, be afforded of how
futile ie the power of mere
words to achieve anything
than the statement which was made,
recently, by the Count de Itomanones
en Spanish foreign policy. The count
was writing a preface to a new work
on this subject by 1 Frenchman, M.
Albert Mousset, and so had ample
opportunity to deal with Itis subject
exhaustively and exactly. Four years
ago, and indeed much more recently,
his preface alight have been account-
ed a really great pronouncement. No
one knows better than the Count de
,Romanones how to drive a point
home, and how to state a the els so
as to convert whole niultitudee to his
way of thinking. Such methods won
passage for themselves surely enough
in the days of peace; but in these
days, when the sup.•eine test of sin-
cerity has become so simple, and tit
standard of policy has been rained
so high, there is something about
such fine words strangely like the
tinkling cymbal avid the sounding
brass.
Two years ago, on his recall to
power in Spain, when tho allied
world, remembering Ws record as a
Liberal statesman, hoped for much
from him, the Count de Rumanones
declared that, whatever the condi-

The statement has been circulated that
Mr. A. H. Musgrove received the full ses-
a • sional indemnity which is $1.400, although
he did not shin the house to the end of
the session. That is a falsehood. He did
however receive a cheque tor the magnifi-
cent sum of $43.
To the Hearst Government must be giv-
en the credit of granting the franchise to

the ladies of North Huron show their ap-

For You and
Tour Friends
"I beg you to publish ray letter."
It is only natural that people write
as enthusiastie letters about Gin Pills.
Wouldn't you do the same, if, after
suffering from backache for years, you
found relief 7 Wouldn't you wish your
friends and others to -know what Gin.
-Pills httd done for you, and what they
will do for them? Of course, you
would, and that is the only reason that
prompts people to write us praising
this great remedy.
Read what Isidore Thomas says in
part:
"My ease was very serious, and
I was so sick everybody expected
my -death any day. No suffering
could be worse than what I had to
endure. Eight boxes of Gin Pills
were sufficient to cure me entire-
ly. I beg you to publish my let-
ter and tell all sufferers of Kid-
. ney Trouble not to despair nor
waits as Gin 'Pill's will eure them.
I have to be very thankful to you,
and I reeonmend Gin Pills to all ,
my friends suffering from kidney
trouble."
Take the advice of those who have
tried moat remedies and found that
Gin Pills cure.
Gin Pills are not asure-all--but a
scientific remedy for Kidney or Blad-
der Troubles. They contain the bene-
ficial ingredient of gin, without the
alcohol, and• gin has been recognized
for years as the most perfect agent for
toning up the kidneys and restoring
these organs to perform their natural
functions.

really think that, in the case of Spain,
this inferiority and this lack of es-
teem have been brought abput, as he
would seem to imply, by Spain, not
making her voice heard with suffi-

strangely mistaken. The explanation
is to be touted readily enough in his

a matter for Spain alone. But Spain
should take- note that circumstances

war is a war for righteousness, for

of civilization. If in this struggle
she finds that she is "not committed

ters, holds that she "counts little in

Lord, Lansdowne as president of the
Red Cross, introduced a bill to lega-

House. -
Of course, the Archbishop of Can-
terbury objected to it on moral
grounds. He said that it would tend•
to stimulate the gambling spiiit
which he and some other speakers'
considered one of the gravest vile;
of the times. The Bishop of :Wine
cheater thought the passage of :the`
bill would outrage public opinion in
the .United States, and that, while the
desire of all was to aid the Red. Cross,
if lotteries were legalized, the coun-
try -•would be swamped with them.
When the matter came up in the
House of Commons the bill was fath-
ered by Sir George Cave, who assert-
ed that p eblic opinion supported war-
time lotteries, that money could be
raised by their means that could not
otherwise be collected, and that if
they served to win the war no further
objection could be taken to them.

stand on the alleged immorality of
lotteries, thougu some displayed
originality in objection, one of
them, Taylor, of Lancashire; ex-
pressing the opinion that as a dia-
mond necklace had something to do
with the French Evolution, so the*
pearl collection mightwell bring
about a" revolution in England.
The bill to legalize war lotteries
was like many others that have been
introduced in the past four years, the
Government; whilefavorable to
permitting Government supporters to
vote as they felt inclined without
reference to the Government's wishes.
The fact that its stoutest champion
was Sir George Cavze Home Secre-
tary, showed what the Goverginent -
desired. Nevertheless, on account of
the slim house, the measure was de-
feated; and so the pearls remain to
be disposed of in: some other way.
The publicity given to the matter is
likely to influence police -action in
other lotteries, The law officers may
feel constrained to put a- stop to
them. If they do, they will run coun-
ter to the patriotic sentiment of the
nation, I! they do not, they may be
accused Of complicity in violation of
the law. Their lot is no happier than
it was when W. S. Gilbert described

This Drawing is from a
Photograph
— That's
why it -
means so
much
It is from an actual photograph of Anna Case of the
Metropolitan Opera singing in direct comparison
with her owls voice on the New Edison.
"But what's remarkable about this?" you ask.
The amazing fact is that no human ear can
distinguish: -the artist from the instrument; so perfect
is the Re -Creation. This is what we call the "tone -
test". And it proves the truth -of the Edison
Company's claims about -
NEW
.EDISON_
"The Phonograph with a Soul"
Itroves that the instrument does re-create, not
merely imitate. Hundreds of these tone tests have
been conducted. More than 2,000,000 people have
attended them. And not one could say when it was
the artist he heard and when the instrument. With -
the lights lowered to hide the 'singer's lips the
audience was completely baffled.
