ELLIOTT, POIWIEDVER &ND PRO1IET011, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1914 PARAGRAPHS FROM PARLIAMENT. Upper House. The exact truth is that it now recognizes as the entire country recognizes, that there is no such worry about the British naval position es to prevent Canada adopting a well -consid- ered and permanent policy with regard to naval aid. —Brantford Expositor. Saskatchewan's new commission whose duties include the supervision of all municipal debenture issues has ent- ered upon its ditties. The need of such - a restraining hend is being realized in more than one Ontario municipality. Take St. Thomas, for instance. Such a subervisory board would never have given Ha approval to a $100,000 addition to the city's mortgage debt by the water board last year, especially since one member of the board declares that the new tower is for better fire prot- ection and another member declares it is not for that purpose at all —St,Thoms as Journal, Recently a farmer's sou, aged about 18, called at a local narber shop to get a hair trim. This finished, the barber asked if he wished the hair washed. The y sung man said be would. Later the barber asked if he would like a little tonic on his hair. The young fel- low assented and on getting out of the chair asked the charge. "Fifty cents" said the barber. "I've only 20 cents with me, but pay you the rest the next time I'm in town," was the young fellow's reply. When next in town the young man was accompanied by his father. The two walked into the bar- ber shop and the latter demanded to know how much was °wigs, and said he gave his son 25 cents with which to get a hair cut, but finally paid. ,for the extras after considerable talk, enheinto the embarrassment of the yonfig man. Such occurrences are common, and yet farmers wonder why it is they can't keep their sons on the farm. Once out in the world the boys make a little money, appreciate its value, and the farm loses its attraction. —Listowel Banner. Here are a few of the terse paragraphs froze Conservative and Liberal speakers during the past week in Parliament. The contrast in viewpoint and in logic is Dr. Michael Clark, Liberal member for Red Deer; "The slogan 'leave well enough alone' now appears to be sup- planted on the pert of this Government by the slogan *leave ill enough alone." Dr. Michael Clark: "Have the far- mers not the right to speak for their own industry? What is sacrosanct or holy about manufacturers, so called, that they should receive very much at- tention from thesGovernment and that no heed should he paid to the plea of the farmers who are engaged in the most important industry of all. I con- tend it is the right a the wheat grow- ers to be the judges in this matter." Mr. J. B. Burnham, Conservative member for Peterborough: "Canada is in danger of becoming very materialis- tic. From one end of this country to the other we hear talk about free food, about dear food, about the high cost of living, and about the tango. That is all that is going on in the country now." Hon. W. T. White, Minister of Fin- ance: "My own view is that free food means free trade." Hon. W. T. White: "So for as I know, there is no public opinion in fav- our of a revision of tariff at this parties flier time. As I said in the beginning of my speech, we have gone through a very tr ing period; along -continued and a severe depression. But the morning is now beginnning to break t money is easier in the international centres, and that is the most hopeful sign to -day." Hon. Frank Oliver: "May I say Mr. Speaker, that the attitude of the Gov- ernment in the two previous sessions was that of the ostrich that runs around in a circle, but this session it is of the ostrich, while, having found no results in the sands, and thereby hopes to pro- tect itself and to discharge its duties. May I be pardoned if I suggest that the pcsition is not greceful; it is not credit- able, and it is decidedly vulnerable." EDITORIAL NOTES. Until the House of Commons is pro- rogued there will be nothing doing in the South Bruce election protests. In the meantime, R. E. Truax will hold his seat at Ottawa. Criticism, however, does not neces- sarily mean:finding fault. Honest opin- ions should be eargeily listened to by men in nubile pesitions, but carping fault-finding born of a desire tirnag or annoy, should be effectively discouraged. It should also be remembered that it is just as important to commend a public servant when he does a good thing, as it is to "tell it to him" when he hits the unpopular trail. Chatham Planet. The excuse given by the Borden Gov, ernment for not proceeding with the naval bill during the present session of Parliament is that the certainty of Sen- ate rejection makes such a course un- wise. But if the Government believes that the Empire is in an emergency which calls for immediate help from Canada it is guilty of cowardice in not ing to force its policy through the MOD, WING11,01 TIMES, JANUARY 29 1914 THE DOMINION BANK MIR EDMUND D.

IN MISERY AT MEAL TIME Indigestion Can Be Cured by the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. If yonr digestion is weak you can- not derive proper nourishment from your food. The pain and distress you suffer is a protest from your stomach that it is unable to do the work. It is then that you lose alt appetite, have dull headaches, acute pains in the chest and abdomen, heartburn and other dis- tressing symptoms. ' You cannot cure indigestion by the use of laxatives and pre-digested foods only make the stomach more sluggish. Indigestion can only be cured by giving tone to and strengthening the nerves that control the stomach. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured indigeation times without number, because they purify and enrich the blood. Iriethis way they improve the appetite, despel the tor- ments of indigestion mid enable you to derive benefit from theiefood you take. The following is prof of these state- ments. Mrs. Geoige Brien, Great Shemogue, N.B., say*: "A few years ago I was taken dfiwn with a fever which left me suff4ring from eervous stomach trouble.I apparently got over it, but theettouble could not have been wholly eradicated, as during the summer of 1912 I was taken down with it again I took many medicines, and was attended by two different doctors, but instead of getting well seemed td be growing worse. 1 could not eat without suffering the most intense pains; even a drink of milk seemed to upset me, I slept poorly and at last dreaded to see night come. In this condition I saw in a newspaper the story of a woman who had similarly suffered and was cured through ths use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. I decided to try the Pills and found by the time I had taken three boxes that they were helping me. I continued using the Pills until I had taken eight boxes, when the trouble had disappeared and I have to thank Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for restoring my health after I frdd practi- cally given up hope of ever being well again," Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Towering 218 feet in the air and weighing eleven tons, the largest one- piece flagstaff in the British Empire was put into position the other day in front of the magnificent new court house at Vancouver. The big stick i3 a product of the British Columbian forests, and is a flawless example of British Columbian timber. The big pine ras cut at Gordon Pasha Lake, 13.0., and presented to the Government of 13ritish Columbia, The tree, of course, r, as much longer than 218 feet, its utility for flagpole purposes depended cn having that length free from branches. As it grew in the forest it was as erect as a sergeant -major, in fact, very much more so. It was towed in a log boom for two hundred miles to Vancouver, and drawn by night from the slip on False Creek along a straight road by a traction engine. In its finished state the big stick weighs eleven tons; before the carpenters had adyed and planed it Into shape It weighed probably three tons more. Since last fall it has been seasoning and drying out to prevent it warp- ing out of shape. It is difficult to convey an adequate idea of its immense size. At its base the flag staff is three feet square, and at the top it is a foot in diameter. big gilt ball at the top measures twelve feet in circumference, while the big arrow which shows plaintiffs and defendants alike which way the wind is blowing at the court houke measures fifteen feet from end to end. Great care b. to be taken in erect- ing the big pole. A concrete founda- tion twelve feet deep was prepared to carry the weight. A derrick -pole nearly one bun"cdfeet long had to be erected to lift the big stick. At the first lift the centr.i came up and bent RI e a cane, but the ends of the pele refused to leave the ground un- til timber braces had been put round the psle and a martingale and wire stays adjusted to takc the strain from tl e ends. After the necessary experi- ment. had been made and the time eame for the final lift, the signal was given to the engineer, and the don- key engine and winch slowly but un- erringly lifted the big stick from the ground and allowed the big base to be swung into the concrete socket. During the operation the steps of the court house resembled the bleachers • ben the home team le piresing. The giant flagstaff is held in place by guy cables set in concrete beds at eaeh eoreer of the court house lawn, and will stand for many decades as an example of what the forcsts of British Columbia can produce in the way of tall tim'mr.

Leavit, jr., an expert civil and landscape engineer, who has commenced work on a city plan for the future in that city. He bases his prediction upon its growth dur- ing the past ten years. Berlin's chief need at present is a civic centr, 3, and Mr. Leavit's pro- posed location would give ample room for a city hall square and park, as a breathing spot, with diagonal streets touching six points. On one of the triangles thus created could be located the federal buildings which the Government propose to erect. The location Is only five minutes' -walk from a union depot, which Is to short- ly house the C.P.R., G.T.B., and C.N.11. railways. In an observation tour of the city, the expert saw a splendid opportunity for a park driveway around the city, extending to Bridgeport and Water- loo.
