The least charitable of Mr. Borden's political opponents could hardly have expected that he would produce a Cabinet that would meet with so little approval at the outset as has greeted the new Ministry. With his large majority Mt. Borden had a free hand to choose from the best elements in his party and to discard the undesirable elements. This he has signally failed to do. Foster's reputation ought to be enough to damn any Government of which he is a member. The politi- cal ctookednes, of Hon. "Boh•' Rogers is proverbial: he is • type of the machine politician who is a cut -se to his country and to his parts. Hon. W. T. White is a newcomer whose in- clusion in the (:ahinet is significant of the influence of the moneyed inter - ests of Toronto which made them- selves so conspicuous in the :event elections. We were told that Mr. Horden, with his intuiense following firm Ontario. would be wholly independent of the 'Quebec influence, and that for the first time in the history of Canada Quebec would he kept where she belonged. Yet what do we find ? F. D. Monk. who with Bounties beaded the anti- British agitation in the Lower Prov- ince, is given one of the meat import- ant portfolios in the Government. that of Public Works. W. B. Nantel. the new Minister of inland Revenue, is another Nationalist agitator, and to complete the nirrender to the Nation- alist influence Mr. Pelletier is made Post (Gaston -General. Probably as a sop tc the Orangemen Col. Sam. Hughes istiven the Militia portfolio. There are surely withitl the rank, of Mr. Borden's following men who bare merits more worthy of recognition, though not su well ad- vertised, as those which the new war lord parades before the public gaze. The agricultural interests have to be content with iepreecntaticn by a Brit- ish Columbia fruit grower. it was supposed that Mr. Broder. of Dundee. would be the choice for this llepart- ment, and the selection would have met with general approval, but Mr. Broder seems to have been sacrificed in the shuffle necessitated by the Na- tionalist demands T. W. ('rotber., the new Minister of Labor, is an able and respectable man what qualifications he poetesses as the representative of the labor interests of the country are yet to he displayed. There is ample evidence that the Cabinet is not looked upon with any great degree of enthusiasm even among ('onservatives. The inclusion of V. 1'. White, who was • Liberal i-ntil the reciprocity proemial,. were made a few months ago. is displeasing to many, and the evidence of Nation- alist strength in Mr. Borden's counsels is another sore point. Howes pr. tbe country must give the new Cabinet • fair chance, and it will be judged in the long run by its performances• rather than by its personnel. arsines 00,414110,10101. It oleo be. as “Canadian." where let- ter isput.liabed in annths r column. sera that British eononction has involved t'snade in a good deal of twuble and expense. Still. something must head milted as an offset. Ar an independ ent nation Canada either would have been obliged to nuke much larger eg- pebditures for defence than eh« has made, or wetted have had to accept protection of the United Mt ales, and we do pot think the people of Canada were at any time ready to accept the , he tatter alternative. We inteeine that Canada as an independent notion alnngaidw the United Rtatss cook base had many unpleasant ex pari neer during the last bun flied rears ta.1terie, end riper flatly daring the admtnisttation of lienihnt Taft. the United Rtetae has J, ►•tea. shown a more friendly attitude than formerly, and a. consider it most olio - fortunate that the Canadian electors rejected t he advanoer of their neighbors in the matter of reciprocal trade relations. However so far es the result of the reosnt e4actions can be regarded as r declaration of the de- termination of the Canadian people to remain independent of .the United States, The Signal is fully in accord with that decision; at the same time it firmly believes that surh a declare- , tiu,t was not necessary, as in its opin- ion the reciprocity proposals had abso- lutely no hearing upon our political re- lations. Our .•orrespoodent leave, out of ac- count what he might term • purely sentimental consideration in the ques- tioo of out relationship to the British Empire Sentinmot, however. is a -great factor in life, Individual or na- tional, and the pride which the great majority of Canadians feel in their citizenship in the greatest empire the world has ever seen more than off- sets any material diead-anteges. It is something, after all, to have a part in the glorious traditions of British bis - tory, and no know that, however it may he degraded to base use. by vote - seeking politicians, the British flag, out -flag, stands for freedom and jus - ties the world neer. W do not be- lieve that Canadians hare the least notion of giving up their British citi- zenship. ne matter how unjustly the cry of British connection may be used to bolster up the cause of the trusts and combine and the Big Interests generally. There will come a time when the people of Canada. will real- ize that British fair play demands that the masses of the people shall not pay tribute to the etagere, and that British ideals guarantee every man an equal chance to make the most of hie op- portunities. THE FLAG-WAVER WINS. "Economist." who writes some good things for Toronto Saturday Night, says in the last issue: After all, you know, the flag-waver is generally the man with the coin or the man with the axe to grind it was ever so. The kings and the princes through all the centuries have waved their flags and their banners and called upon their loyal supporters to fight the enemy. And the loyal supporters were just good enough or foolish enough to do it. Therefore the kings and the princes continue to rule over them—and so they should. Tte financial kin's and princes now wave the flag. The voter comes man- fully forward and, with eyes blinded with patriotic tears, marks his little errs. on the ballot for the "interests.'i Therefore, the interests continue to rule over him—and so they should. THE CHILDREN'S TEETH. The public school board of Gnderich is discussing the subject of dental in- spection in the schools, and- when the farts are known and considered it must be patent to all that the question is one of the greatest importance. From last Saturday's Globe we take the following. which should be read by ell who have the welfare of the chil- dren at heart : "there is nothing the another ran do for her child that will have as great an influence for good upon its physi- cal, mental anti morel development as giving it, from early babyhood up, a clean, healthy mouth. That this fact is not recognized as it should be is evident from the appalling condi- tions found in the mouths of the great majority of school children. This almost universal neglect rf children's teeth is due to a lack of knowledge of the disastrous results that follow, and to the very preys]. ent and erroneous idea that decay of the teeth is an affliction beyond the control of the individual. How many parents know that the filet teeth are of even more import- ance to the welfare of the child than the second met ? How many know that the four moat important permanent teeth conic at about six years. and, in the great majority of cases, are mis- taken for temporary teeth and al- lowed to decay. Or how many realize that the perfection and use- fulness of the permanent teeth de- pend vert largely on the care and preservation of the temporary set. We are very sure that this import- ant knowledge is in the possession of very few, otherwise it is hard to un- derstand bow patents pet alatently and a I mos t unanimously ne- glect the care of the temporary teeth, allowing them to fall foto de- cay and disuse, to the perms/lent and rotten irreparable fnjura to the health. beauty and mental development of the child. All teeth are prar•tieally alike chem- irallj . The cause "f decay lies in the nostdition in the month around the teeth. The h•ginninge of decay de- pend almost entirely on conditions in the mouth that parents .and the den tist eau control. flewenty-live per rent. of thedseay said an even greater pereea'age of the irregular tomb ran be avoided by a knowledge of the fact• and the use of a roweneable amount of care in pow -Using the tMewy of the pound of prevention and the ounce' of cure.-- Department of Med,nal In•per. tine Through the kind•em of the dental inspector of schools, Dr. W. A. Doh- erty. i was recently given an nppor- tanity to see some rears of neglected teeth found in the public erhon4. One was it Nov of twelve. most of whose back teeth, upper and ower, were so fat gone as to he mere shells, and whoa, front teeth were also in ted modal inn Naturally he had for a long tines been 'ins hie to mast.krate his food properly and had ewaflnwed with it more or less pus easel decayed fond left In the cavities.

The expense of filling ancrowning those teeth would amoun4 to e16, but haw many parent, eve of moderate income could afford that 'r Yet the looks and the health of that girl depend upon her teeth being put into good condi tic n. But this is the startling news : Within two or three days the in- spector found in the city public schools over one hundt-d childtem who,. rni tithe were io equally a.. bad condition and many of them stores than those of the children I saw. Do we not need a free dental clinic ? Is not a sick mouth as injurious and painful as sickness in any other part of the body? The only place where the poor may have their teeth treated without charge is at the Dental College, but the number of cases that can be taken there is very limited, end of these only a small percentage are children. But something, though the means is slow, may be done in the way of education, for as is observed above seventy-five per cent. of the decay of children's teeth may toe prevented by rare. Only about one penmen in five hundred understands how or the im- portance of caring for temporary teeth. It is with a view therefore of giving information on this question that the above is being published, the fine in a weekly series of short arti- ides on children's teel.h. Wee Rambler. EDITORIAL NOTES. How do you' like the dew Cabi- net? Anyway, they have put Foster where lie can't get his hands on the cash. Did Canada save her soul (vide Kip- lingi only to put it in charge of Foett r and "Bob" Rogers ? A Liberal has been elected in a bye - election in Ireland. it's fine to think there is some place where a Liberal can be elected. By the way, can anybody give any really good reason why Oa seda should levy duties on goods imported from the Mother Country ? The new Cabinet includes seven Anglicans, six Methodists, four Roman Catholics and one Baptist (Hon. Geo. E, Fostert. A Canadian Cabinet with- out a single Presbyterian .in it is somewhat of a novelty. A proclamation has been issued com- manding all subjects of the King in Canada to observe strict neutrality in the war between Turkey and Italy. That .saves us the trouble of figuring out which one of the belligerent., we should rather see licked. It is rather odd that the Borden Ministry should be the first io the his- tory of Canada to contain a man wbose birthplace was the United States. Hon. Geo. Peiley, Minister without portfolio, was horn tinder the Stars and Stripes. The Toronto Telegram (Conserva- tive) is not pleased with the appoint- ment of W. T. White as Minister of Finance. It. says: "A party an desti- tute of talent that it has to go to the ranks of the enemy for a Minister of Finance has not much business to he governing Canada anyway." it is reported that the man who was buying up hey in the townships he - tote the election has disappeared. and the bay is still on the farmers' hands. Hay isn't as good • "buy" as it was a few weeks ago when there was a pros- pect of getting it duty free into the United States. The result of the elections • Cana- da has given Mr. Balfour a chance to talk more flubdub about tariff "re- formand Imperial preference. Just let Mi'. Balfour wait until the victori- ous trusts get in their work on the Canadian Witt and he will see how much the elections did for the cause of Imperial trade. Liberals warned the country that Mr. Borden's - suet -eta in the recent elections would mean the triumph of oorporaNnn and Nationalist influ- cores. The new Minister of Finance is hand in hand with the corporations and Monk. Nantel and Pelletier make a formidable Nationalist grosup in the Borden I'abin't.

Everybody Happy. Port Huron Time,.Herald. .. The Wales correapondent. to i'be Times -Herald .ends the fallowing in- teresting little item : "The farmers of this vicinity are con- gratulating themselves upon the good luck afforded them by the recent elec- tion in Canada. which virtually rejects tbe reciprocity treaty. Those who have held their wheat are wearing their broadest smiles at the sudden turn in prices of grain." And over in Ontario, where reci- procity received its hardest bow, the farmers are still holding jollification meetings over the result of -the C'sna- dian elections. Funny world. isn't it? Everybody happy! No Gose for Surprise. Toronto Star. "Hogs have gone down, hut hacon stays up," says The London Advertiser. Why not ? It is in these ways that i our rystem of popular government il- lustrates its operations. The farmers of Ontario had a per- fect right to vote for cheap hogs if they wanted to, and city people had a perfect right to vote for dear bacon if they thought it ought to he made as expensive as possible. Nobody need be surprised if those who buy. hogs bow to the popular ver- dict, and if those who sell bacon do the samet thing. One of the sure things about the popular form of government is that the people can al- ways get what they want if they want and vote for results like these. His First Visit. A raw recruit, who had just been en- rolled in a crack cavalry regiment, was paying his first visit to the riding school. " Ere's your 'orae," said the instructor. The recruit advanced, book the bridle. and examined his mount- "What's it got this strap round it for?" he asked, pointing to the girth. "Well," replied the in- structor solemnly, "you see all our 'ones 'ave a keen sense of 'umor. and, as they sometimes have sudden fits of laughter when they see the recruits. we put hands round 'em to prevent 'em from buretin their sides !"

Gentlemen :— On account of shortage of Pandoras, we have been compelled to ship you a Pandora with "Gun Metal Finish." - We are writing you so you will not expect this to be a regular occurrence. We have simply done this to try and fill our orders as promptly as we can. The pressure of business has been so great`this year that we cannot keep up with the regular lines The usual extra on the Gun Metal Finish will not be in force in this case, the ordinary price ruling. Ours truly, The McClary Mfg. Co., W. J. Thompson, WJT/VC. Sales Dept. As this letter fairly indicates the big shortage in PANDORA RANGES at so early a date in the season, we would strongly urge upon our customers the advisability of selecting their Range without further delay. We are doing our best to protect your interest, but it is impossible for us to forecast how many will be required, as indica- tions are, from what we gathered at our exhibit at the Fair and other sources, that we will sell far more PANDORA RANGES than we will be able to get. Even if you cannot take your PANDORA in at once, buy it and we will keep it for you. The above PANDORA sells at $3.00 extra, but on account of getting it as we do, the first customer can have the benefit without extra cost. howell hardware Co. Limited Limited
