When questioned on the matter, Hon. W. J. Hanna, Provincial Secretary, said - "The question cannot well be dealt with in any event this session. Anything done at this thne would only be along the lines of certain minor changes which .night commend themselves to the House." This indicates that for the present the three-fifths local option clause will stand. The chief amendment will probably be the en- actment of a clause providing that, in cases where local option has been duly carried by the required vote, and quashed by the courts on technical grounds, the licenses may not issue except on the authority of the Lieu- tenant -Governor in Council. ** -The 'Toronto News- has this to say :-"The success of this year's local option compaign is encouraging' the s prohibitionist to continue the fight, and preparations are already being t made for a vote in many municipals- t ties in January, 1909. Ingersoll is one c point at which. the optionists are al- ready showing signs of activity, and t at which a determined effort will be made to carry the by-law.

They do not really understand what cold storage means. They do not under- stand the scientific principle in which cold is produced in hot weather, nor do they uuder•stand that the germs of decay may be in apples which look perfectly sound and healthy. The minister is introducing an edueational campaign which may eto a great deal of good. Let us give him a chance. This is a new thing, and has a right to be fairly tried. I shall be 'as ready as Any one else to condemn the minister if he does not assist the farmers out of this difficulty, but in the meantime I will stand by hien in his efforts to give the fanners the cold storage system. Speech by Br. Chisholm, M, P. for E hares, delivered is the House of Commons,- April 21, 1907, fifth spe ec>!h In ve herewith use onthe u bo subject, It was delivered too late be sent out last session. It will al be found on pages 5160, 5107, 5108, V III, Hansard, 1000-7, We might al add, that after the address was deli erect, Hon. Sydney' Fisher, Minister Agriculture, referred to it in kind term. SPEECIL MR. SPEAgElt :- 1 wish to say a few words in regard to this matter in which I take a deep interest, but I shall not detain the Horse at any length. Our perishable products are a very important branch of our export trade, As you are aware, r drew attention to this matter at the beginning of the session, The minister then took the matter up and promised to make an effort to remedy the defects in our system. Before pro- ceeding I might refer to a little inci- dent. I noticed the hon. member for South Oxford (Mr, M. S. ,Schell), who undoubtedly made a very good speech and showed the necessity of this mat- ter thoroughly and well, in his refer- ence to the shipping referred to the member from Lambton (Mr, Arm- strong) as having made some incorrect statements about the tonnage of cer- tain ships. The hon. member for Latnbton gave an example; he told us where he obtained his information and all that, and then the member for Ox- ford (Mr. M. 5, Schell) read a nutnber of examples of ships that did not cone up to the figures quoted by my hon. friend from. Lambton. That put me in mind of the story of an Irishman who was called up before a magistrate for having hit another with a shilla- lah. Two men proved conclusively that they saw him do so. The magis- trate asked the Irishman : How are you to get over this testimony ; two men swear positively that they saw you bit this man ? Oh, said Pat, I can bring twenty men who will swear that they didn't see me hit him. There were two men to prove that they saw hien hit the other' man and twenty that did not see him do it. These other ships have no bearing on this subject at all. My hon. friend from Larnbton,has proved his case, I think, and it would have been well if my hon. friend from Oxford had omitted that portion of his argument. I think that too much emphasis is placed on the question of shipping. I have had occasion before to draw at- tention to the fact that the whole sys- tem must be a. chain, it must be com- plete. Tho shipping part of it is only one part of it; it is just like a bridge, yon may finish the two ends of the bridge as completely and nicely and grade thein as well as you can, but if you have not the centre arch your bridge is of no use. Similarly, if you have the centre arch and the ends are not graded up the bridge is of no use. The ship in this case is simply the centre arch, and although this .natter was taken up ha the tune of the Con- servatives by the Bon. Mr. Montague there is no doubt at all that the sys- tem has been greatly improved. I think we must admit that. But the shipping industry and the carriage of our products on the water has been blamed for many things of which it is not guilty. We imus, be- gin on the farm. I liked the remas•ks of my hon, friend. from South Bruce (Mr. McKenzie) on this subject. The farmer will watch his field of grain very carefully indeed and say: To- morrow we .oust reap the harvest. But he does not watch his apple orch- ard so carefully ; all apples are not plucked the clay they are ripe ; they are often left on the trees until the germs of decay have been taken in. It is like a .ran going on a journey ; yon may have the best inspector in the world to examine him when be is about to start on his journey and he may be pronounced perfectly healthy, but he may have the germs of small- pox or typhoid in his system and may take sick at the end of the journey. That is the way with our fruit; our fruit often has the germs o° decay so thoroughly established in it before it leaves the orchard or even before it leaves the tree that it is impossible for it to arrive in England in proper con- dition. The fruit should be plucked on the proper day and cooled in a pro- per way. It should then be kept in a proper condition until it is put aboard of the cars. It may be impossible for us to have cold storage on the cars with mechanical refrigerator, because we cannot get the water to cool the ammonia. It is impossible to have mechanical cold storage on the cars at the present time, but perhaps that may be overcome, possibly by some system of compressed air or some such means as that. It is of course, an established scientific fact that when a solid turns to a liquid it ab - orbs heats and when a liquid turns to a vapour it also absorbs heat; that is he principle of latent heat which has o be considered. Air, which has been ompressed to a liquid, as 11 expands will absorb heat because a liquid is arming to vapour, but I believe that we can get cold storage on board cars et and we must have the land carri- ges perfect. I like the part of the motion of my hon. friend from Went- worth (Mr. E. D. Smith) referring to he land carriage as well as the water arriage of our products. This whole hing must be a system, and I may say hat I believe the minister is not try - reform unite upon a practical policy, i the liquor traffic will largely disap- n pear from all portions of the Province t except, perhaps, the large centres of a population, and even there the bar a will go." g ng to establish a system. I was very luck displeased up to this time with he way things were going. I looked round at home and saw hundreds nd thousands of barrels of apples oing to waste upon our farms, yet no ttempt was made to overcome this ondition of affairs, and now I think %,.* a c -In speaking at a political meeting in Seatforth on Thursday last, Mr. J. M. Williams said :- "We don't have to go to Montreal and Halifax for proof of malad- ministration on the part of the Lib- eral government of Canada. Down here at Bayfield the Dominion Gov- ernment has spent $12,000 or $14,- 000, and to what purpose? They built a dock where no boats what- ever come in, and which has served no other purpose than to provide government '`obs for favorites. We turn to 1 St, Jos epl.andivhatdowe find there?

Fluid Extract of Dandelion, one-half ounce; CompoundXargon, one ounce ; Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. These harmless ingredients can he obtained froth our home druggist, and aro easily mixed by shaking thein well in a bottle. Relief is generally felt from the first few doses. This prescription, states a well- known authority in a Cleveland morn- ing paper, forces the clogged -up, in- active kidneys to filter and strain from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric acid, which causes Rheumatism. As Rheumatism is not only the most painful and torturous disease, but dangerous to life, this simple recipe will no doubt be greatly valued by many sufferers here at hone, who should at once prepare the mixture to get this relief. It is said that a person who would take this prescription regularly, a dose or two daily, or even a few times a week, would never have serious Kid- ney or Urivary disorders or Rheu- matism. Cut this out and preserve it. Good Rheumatism prescription which really relieve are scarce, indeed, and when you need it, you want it badly. Our druggists here say they will either supply these ingredients or make the mixture ready to take, if any of our readers so prefer.
