Mr. Paterson informed Dr. Chisholm that Canada's imports of canned heats from the United States in 1003 were $96,750; 1904, $136,219; and 1905, $100,101. Imports of meats, fluid beef and unmedicated soups were: 1903, $59,283; 1904, $67,647, and 1905, $69,660. The duty in each case was 25 per cent. ad valorem. "The Government have noticed," he added, the "reports in the newspaper in re- ference to the unsanitary condition of the meat -packing houses in Chicago and the whole subject of canned meat is receiving their attention." ** -It is &understood that Messrs. Mac- kenzie Mann are negotiating with the Dominion Government for the building of a road to Hudson Bay. Messrs. Mackenzie & Mann have a land subsidy of $12,800 a mile for this road, but it will expire soon. The subsidy is to be selected along the route, but they want the land else- where. This and some other matters have been submitted to the Dominion, and it is said that the western mem- bers who are desirous of seeing the road built, are not altogether unfavor- able, although there is an objection to giving lands for railway building. -The Dominion, Provincial, and municipal governments of this coun- try have made grants in money for the building of railways, owned by corporations, in the neighborhood of one hundred and sixty trillion dollars. In addition to this they have endow- ed these corporations with lands to the amount of some sixty million acres, equal to sixty times the area of the great county of Grey, Much the greater part of the lands so granted are located in the Northwest, and the portion still held cannot be bought for settlement at less than $3.50 to $10 per acre. Assuming that the average selling price of the 60,000,000 acres granted will not be less than $4 per acre, this will make a total of $240,- 000,000, and the aggregate of the land and cash grants will figure up to $400,- 000,000, or over $2,000 per Haile for every mile of railway in Canada. It certainly is time to call to a halt. *** -"Collier's Weekly" says that "in New York alone there are fifteen thou- sand victims to -day who will die be- cause they were not taught how to avoid consumption, and because now there is no plate to give them proper care." This is a terrible arraignment of modern civilization. Knowledge and fresh air would have saved these fifteen thousand ; and yet, for lack of these elementary principles, they will die, It is hard to credit that many people do not now know how to com- bat the disease after so much publicity of the simple methods of prevention and cure and yet there are thousands of possible victims to whom these well -advertised faets are still un- known. More, possibly, are dying be- eause of lack of opportunity to apply knowledge than for lack of the know- ledge itself. We should certainly make it easy for every victim to es - tape into the fresh air; and, in self- protection, civilization could not spend its money better than in providing for sueh the food which is a necessary part of the dere. Only when we cur- tail and finally wipe out the breeding ground of the tuberculosis germ will the teat of us be safe, * -It is to good thing to be an M. P'., if you stand in well with lion. Mr. Sifton and others up there at Ottawa, The Winnipeg Telegratn snakes an es- timate of the profit made by Sifion's brother-in-law, Butrorvs, out of the - timber deal?, Burrows got 905,920 acres at 16ic per acre. This land is worth front $5 to $10 an acre, but the Telegram puts it at the lower figure, and the efticulation is that i3urrowre paid $49,705 for a property Worth $1,529,1100. It is no wonder that with such grafts% AB the*, the North A tlata- titt Trading Co., and others, that Llb. ernes of the George Brown or Alex. McKenzie type are getting dissatisfied, At the meeting of the Young Liberals' Club in Toronto recently, this dissatis- faction was freely expressed. A sig- niflcant feature of tate meeting was the fact 'that no defence of the party leaders was offered. Isere is what one of the leading Liberals said on that occasion "We may not like to honestly face the music, but It begins to Iook as though the grafter and the corporations lied got hold of the Liberal Gowen! wilt, just as they got hold of the Conservatives be- fore thein. They may have to be turned down to cure tlleln, The Ionger I live the more I believe like the English in changing Gov- ernments frequently." ** The Weekly Sun remarks thus -- "The aunnal statements made by in- surance companies to the Government are intended for publication in an of- ficial return. That return has been used by tnen insured, as a basis in placing their policies. They have ac- cepted these statements as absolute, ly correct in every particular, and have looked upon the same as their security for the money paid over in premiums. Evidence given since this - insurance inquiry began has demon- strated that in litany important parti- culars the returns made by insm'ance companies, if not distinctly false, were deliberately intended to mislead. Loans made by companies on securi- ties the Government would have con- sidered insufficient have been covered up by book-keeping jugglery ; the out- lay on expense account has been mis- stated, and in various ways successful attempts have been made to deceive the people through the Government, as to the actual position of insurance company affairs. If a country mer- chant manipulates his books in order to 'deceive the wholesale house from which he seeks credit the jail stands open to receive him. The sante penal- ty should be accorded insurance direc- tors who deliberately deceive the pub- lic, whose insurance they are solicit- ing," *** -Harry B. Walmsley, food expert of Kansas City, and the man behind the Pure Food bill in the last session of the Legislature, declares that at an ordinary dinner in Chicago, a man will partake of forty-two poisons. He says :-"Half of the deaths in the United States are the result of impure foods. It is practically impossible to get pure food in this country." Mr. Walmsley gives the following list of poisons in adulterated food, that a person must eat if he enters a Chicago restaurant for dinner. Here are the various foods and the way they are poisoned, according to this expert: - Butter -Covered with coal tar dyes, Meat -You know all about the meat. Lard -Used in frying meat -Made from diseased hogs. Catsup -Full of salicylic acid, color- ed with coal tar dyes. Bread -Full of alum. Coffee -Full of copper salts. Tea -Full of copper salts. Pepper --Always impure; full of co- coanut shells, sawdust and clay, Vegetables -All impregnated with various coal tar dyes. Rosy apples -Made rosy with coal tar dyes. New potatoes -Freshened up from old potatoes with alum water, after being scraped. a /.N A 'nem litems -The only dairy cow that is a suc- cess is the one that pays hand- somely. -Two farmers near Orangeville went to law recently over a dif- ference of opinion about the way the tenant plowed and took care of pro- perty. Judgment gave $12 to one and $22.50 to the other. -A farmer from near Meaford, who left for the West some weeks ago, took his collie with hila. The dog escaped from the car near Winnipeg, and has since turned up at the old home near Meaford, Iean and guant. -The steamer Athenia, which ar- rived in Montreal on June 14, had about 28 stowaways on board, who, after having been discovered by the ship's officers, were set to work on the coal bunkers and made to earn their passage across They are not a bad lot, but constitute a record number for one vessel coming into this port. -The i usitanie, is the first of the giant Cunards to be launched, and her sister, the Mauratina, will follow her into the sea a month hence. The Lusitania is 790 feet long, her displace- ment is about 40,000 tons, and power- ful turbine engines will drive her through the water at a sustained speed of from 24 to 25 knots. The - rabin accommodations are for 550 first-class, 500 second elms, and 1,300 third-class passengers, and the crew will number about 800. Owen Sound, June 14. -About four months ago Albert Stewart; 26 years - of age, was arrested on the charge of shooting .Tames Morrison, a farmer,l residing about ten miles front Owen Sound, Morrison Was returning to his home after dispersing of a load of hogs here. As he neared his home three shots were fired at hint, With the result that the sight of his right eye was totally destroyed. Stewatt to -day was tried by jury, found gull- ty, and sentenced to 21 years ini- prieonment. -:4iratr .'1. L.

She had a dream that her husband's body had been buried near a clump of cedars, and has searched the shore here for the trees so vividly pictured to her in her dream, Only five of the seventeen lives lost have been recovered, The body of captain may be identified by an eagle and anchor tattood on his arra in Indian ink, Tite ship was wrecked in 500 fathons of water. ---Evansville, Wis„ is a town that never has had a saloon, either legal or otherwise. It has a population of 2,000, Not a merchant would consent to the town licensing a saloon. They do a large credit business, losing only about one per cent. in bad debts. There are no loafers or rowdies. A manufacturer says :-"Every one is for no -license. By comparing Evans- ville and neighboring license towns of equal size, etc., I see that we are far ahead of thein." The pastors says : "Tine city is exalted by righteous- ness." From Bradstreet's estimate of this town and two of its neighbors of equal size and natural advantages, it appears that the no -license policy has worked an increase of about fifty per cent. in volume and value of business, and of per capita wealth among mer- chants. Real estate values also run proportionately higher. The tax rate is lower. ,y '1 The Source Of Neuralgia. It rum hand in hand with poor blood and weak nerves.
