I ti Ale 1,
0 it's a question of FOOD
VALUE, get Mooney's
Perfection Cream Sodas,
They contain the nutri-
ment—the bone and muscle
building properties—of
Canada's choicest wheat
flour. They are substantials,
like roast beef and bread.
Yet they are so delicate
that children and invalids
may make them the best
part of every meal.
Mooney's Biscuits are
packed as they come piping
hot from the ovens, in air-
tight, moisture -proof boxes.
Thus, all the crispness and
goodness of the freshly baked
biscuits are caught and held
until they reach you.
There is good food and
good eating in Mooney's
Biscuits.

EDITORIAL NOTES
AFTER a very energetic campaign,
prior to the General Elections, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier feels the necessity of
of a well earned rest and consequent-
ly will enjoy a holiday in Florida
previous to the opening of the House.
The learners of Governments have a
big share of the strenuous in filling
their onerous positions.
Tree old timers in political life are
falling and in the course of a few years
the fact of their having lived and play-
ed their part will in many cases be a
historical record only. Stonday Sir
Henri July died at his home in Quebec
city. At cue time Sir Henri was
Lieut. Governor of British Oolumble.
HON. P. E. EVANTUREL, a some-
what unique but clever politician, one
time Speaker in Ontario Provincial
Legislature, died on. Monday at the
home of his son-in-law, at Alfred, On-
tario. He was a French Canadian,
born in Quebec in 1849 and a lawyer
by profession, with a, well defined
fancy for newspaper work. Mr.
Evanturel had been on both sides of
