I THE FEDERAL HOUSE AGAIN IN SESSION ON PARLIAMENT HILL A Forecast of Some of the Questions That Will Be Up for Consideration Icy H. J. 1)eucuatan The Day of Days usually presages a storm. Not so this year. (In the opening day of Purllament, the ateru away of winder guve place to the gentler rule of spring. the sou shone, the snow's melted, the bills of the Gatineau whispered back to the city that some time spring was coming - some time, but not yet! The members assembled with all the frlekhwst of couviets out on reprieve. 'There will be an election -but when? Will this lw the last session before -before the day on Judgment? 'l'hat Is the great question -a burning question on the minds and hearts, of all M.1'.'s. Truth to tell, duty calls theta --but memory whim - pen. they way hot always answer 1n the rail of the opalug of Parliament.

MEDD FINDS FAULT WITH HYDRO POLICY Ilea Rate Advocated by *ember for South Huron Torouto, Feb. 18.-W. G. Medd, the i'rogreeaive member of the Ontario Legislature for South Huron, went atter the Government on the subject of equalization of hydro rates, when the debate on the address in ready to the speech from the Throne resumed this afternoon. The farm- ers, he said, have not had a fair deal In toutrest to the urban dwellers of Ontario. 111 some districts, power was much higher than la others. For instance, in the city of Owen Sound, lie eal& a charge of $17.70 a kilowatt hour was eltarged. One mile outside the corporation the charge was $49.1:0, and eight Miles outside the city the charge was $104. Mr. Medd advoeateed the changing over to a flat rate for the entire l'rov- ince•.

Countless remedies are advertised for constipation. bfany relieve for ' the moment but they are habit form- ing and must be continued. Others contain calomel and dangerous min- eral drugs, which remain in the sys- tem, settle in the joints and cause aches and pains. Some are harsh purgatives which cramp and gripe and leave a depressed after effect Avoid lubricating oils which only grease the intestines and encourage natures machinery to become lazy. A purely vegetable - laxative such as Career's little Liver Pills, gently touches the liver, bile starts to flow. the bowels move gently the intestines are thoroughly cleansed and constipa- tion,p,isons pass away.
