THE WINGnAiI TINES.
B. ELLIOTT. ?rowans' Airo Pxornorror
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER. 20. 1906,
PULSE OF THE PRESS.
There is a disposition to antagonize
the labor element in the Ontario elec-
tions. Hon. Mr, Hanna began the war
when he entered, as the Provincial Se.
oretary, into the contract for the prison
labor, and upon work with which free
labor cannot profitably compete. This
was in clear defiance of the promise
made by at least one Conservative lead-
er and now a member , of the Govern-
ment, Hon. Mr. Hendrie.—Kingston
Whig. -
Hon. Mr. Borden continues to address
the Conservatives in Nova Scotia, bat
be has as yet failed to announce the
policy of his party, although challenged
to do so. Bat as a matter of fact what
earthly nee world there be in having a
policy wean there are no leaders in the
Conservative party big enough to carry
out astated policy.—GaIt Reformer.
The cause of the decline of the party
spirit is not found in the partial disap.
pearance of the party organ. This
j onrnalistio change is rather the effect
of a revolution in popular sentiment
which the party organ was powerless to
prevent. With the growing intelligence
of the peop'e, and in the absence of any
clear -out line of division between the
old parties, it has been found impossible
to arouse either enthusiasm or anger by
a mere shouting of names- which have
become meaningless. The one time
party organ has discovered this, it has
found that its constituency was slipping
away, and it has almost unconscious-
ly followed the Iead of the people in
coming to view public gnestiona from a
public rather than a party standpoint.•--

Intestinal
Indigestion.
'THIS severe and painful form of -
indigestion arises frorn sluggish
action of the liver in supplying the
bile necessary for good digestion and
the healthful action of the bowels.
The food decays and gives rise to
Colicky pains, Flatulency, Feverish•
tens, Pains in the Limbs, headache,
Loss of Appetite, Gas on the
Stomach, and Irregularity of the
Bowels.
It is absolutely necessary to set
the liver right before anything Iike
cure cart be expected, and the most e
certain means of accomplishing this f
result is the use of Dr. Chase's
Kidney -Liver Pills.
This great medicine has been
especisllyr successful in the cure of
intestinal indigestion, which cannot
be ruched by stomach tablets or
ordinary dyspepsia cures.

MRS, HUNTER'S STORY

Mrs. I Hunter, of 111
Raglan Road, Kingston.

publication a statement
of her case as follows:

kidney and Iiver trouble

drowsiness, pain's in the back and side,
and a tired, weary feeling nearly all the

"I tried most every remedy, was treat-
ed by doctors and druggists with little

"Finally a friend advised me to try
Dr Leonhardt's Anti Pill, and the re-
sults have been truly Rf'onderfnl.
"My husband has rimed Anti -Pill for
rheumatism and was benefited greatly.
We agree that Anti -Pill is a molt won-
derful medicine and heartily recommend
it."
This is a very strong recommendation.

for newspapers for the workhouse; to
short, that the guardians have fostered
pauperism by making it too attractive••
was alleged at the London Local Gov-
ernment Board enquiry regarding the
poor -law administration in Poples
At the opening of the enquiry Mfr
3. S. Davy, -chief inspector of the
Local Government *tiara. sald the
Municipal Alliance -- re'presented blr
Mr. Robb—had requested to be beard.,
Fostering Pauperism,
Mr. Robb said it was ieit that The
guardians were pursuing a policy
which was fraught with most disas-
trous consequences to the district.
'there was disquiet caused bit the
abnormal increase in pauperism, 1st
that district, both outdoor and indoor.
Between 1885 anti 1885 there was an
increase of 1,153 Indoor paupers, or
75 per cent., arld an increase in cost of
£16,171, or 80 per cent. From 1805 tot
4906 there was an increase of 1,024 In-
door paupers, or 33 per cent„ and au
increase in the cost of £ 82,504. or 86
per cent.
Mr. Robb (continuing) ; "I maintain
that the guardians are fostering pats-
' perism and making it unduly attrao-
tive,
"People are attracted to Poplar in
order that they may enjoy the comfort
and luxuries in Poplar Workhouse,
which cannot be got in any other in-
stitution." •
Best of Everything,
Mr. Robb went on to point out that
one tender was for 2,700 pounds of but-
ter, 850 dozen best eggs, Cadbury's
best cot ,a, best onions, best turnips.
French cabbages, Lazenby's pickles.
best Demerara sugar, castor sugar, sul-
tanas, Lea and . Perrin's sauce, and
Mazawattee tea.
"Perhaps," said Mr. Robb, "I shall be
told with regard to that tea that It was
for the officers. If that is true, I say.
the guardiaps :have no right to pro-
vide such luxuries for the officers. Be-
sides, I am told by some of the officers;
that they don't get these luxuries."
Mr. Crooks (for the guardians)—
They don't.
Mr. Robb—Then I shill want to know.
and I know Mr. Crooks will want to
know, where they go to,
Continuing, Mr, Robb said that the
guardians had ordered the best Eng-
lish beef to be supplied, together with
best pork, mutton, and ;lest beef suet.
Later he found lace curtains, best
white counterpanes, damask table lin-
en, thirty-six dozen Irish cambric
pocket. handkerchiefs,
Visiting Cards, Too.
-Mr. Crooks—Nice little 'handkerchiefs
for the noses, with the King and Queen
in the oorner and a view of St. Paul's
in the middle. Look how they would
have used their cuffs. There is no
doubt this wanted enquiring into. (Louts
laughter.)
