NOTES AND COMMENTS
It ie expected that the Dominion
Parliament will oonolnde the business
of the session on May llth.
Canada's foreign trade for the last
final year amounted to $667442,t89, an
Increase of $117.506 238 over the record,
for the previous year.
At a dinner given to the Minister of
Finance ,Hoe. W. S, Fielding at Ottawa
on Tuesday night, a Committee of
prominent men in the Liberal party
presented Mr. Fielding with a puree
of $100,000 as a sign of the great apprec-
iation which the party, and indeed men
outside the party, feel for the Minister.
By a vote of 111 to 70 on a straight
party division the House of Commons
placed its final seal of indorsement on
the naval bill, and the Government's
policy of creating a Canadian navy
ander Canadian control in time of peace
and at the disposal of the King in time
of war, by the consent of the King's ad-
visers in Canada and the Canadian Par-
liament, according to regular constitu-
tional procedure. The bill now goes to
the Senate for its final stage through
Parliament. Comparatively little de-
bate on the measure is a peeted in the
Upper House.
Early in the session, when the pro-
gress of the Naval bill was delayed by
the illness of Hon. L. P. Brodeur, car,
tain Conservative newspapers tried to
make capital, because first, Mr, Brodeur
had taken ill, and that then Sir Wilfrid
was confined to hie hoose by indispoai.
tion, and that afterwards Sir Frederick
Borden was Iaid up. Yet now the
whirligig of time brings, aft always, its
revenge. The Premier is ready to pro-
ceed with the bill. But Mr. Borden is
ill; dad Mr. Foster is ill; and Mr. Monk
is seeking rest in the South. The tables
have turned with a veugeance.—Ottawa

Sir Wilfrid promised a deputation of
the Liberal members from 'Western
Scett's Emulsion
is the original—has been
the standard for thirty-five
years.
There are thousands of
so-called "just as good"
Emulsions, but they are
not—they are simply imi-
tations which are never
as good as the original.
They are like thin milk--
SCOTT1S is thick like a
heavy cream.
If'you want it thin, do
it yourself—with iwater—
but dont buy it thin.
