T'ho oipposin• policies as to teehni- 't1 education were brought into clear contrast, enough 91r James urged the itc,hl of waiting for the finding of the commission. The fart that nothing is done fur the children wit.) at twelve, thirteen, cr fourteen years of age trust leave school for appreutiooshipe was condemned in the strongest terms by Ilon. Mr. 1t1aeliay, Industrial continuation classes for these boys and girls would sustain their mental development, perfect them in their chosen work, and make them more useful 'members of society. This form of technical education would not pro• yoke the antagonism of workmen suf- fering through competition for em, ploymont, and would not deprive chil- dren of the full benefit of mental, training during their school years. The full persuasive effect of the Ops position leader's logic was felt in be, half of the class of children most in need of technical training. ' • In educational affairs, es in other important functions of Provincial gov- ernment, he showed not only a thorn ough familiarity with administrative principles and details, but with the results of various lines of policy on the public directly affected. The °los- ing of model schools and the great expense entailed on prospective teach - ors had produced a system not at all responsive to the needs of tho Pro. vino). As a result it was impossible to obtain n. supply of competent teachers. Turning to the complete omissions of the speech from the throne, Iron. Mr, MacKay dealt with the continued absence of any attempt to form reforesting policy and the leek of a system of colonization !lx N1cw Ontario.

Mr. Mat' Kay's demand for the British syatenmM of majority rule, and dwelt on the favi arable features of Provincial develop! ment with vigorous ensphasis. Thal two s peechee, commendably brief, weighed the opposing leaders in that btlaneec'. Alike in sincerity, in 000trr age, indetermination, and in con&& donee, the Opposition leader show clearly superior in economic undes1 standing, in comprehension of pnblid needs, and in appreciation of the sub= servience of Governmental instate( tions to the people for whom they exist.

RAINBOW LAND.. A Bonnie Name and True For the Highlands of Scotland. The west highlands of Scotland may truly be called tho home of the rain- bow, says a writer in The London Queen, for there you will see them at+ any time of the year, and in no other part of the world can they be seen in more perfect form and hue. On a wild autumn day, with the West or southwest wind blowing the clouds up across the sun, I have seen. one rainbow follow another in quiek succession. A perfect arch of palpi- tating color becomes suddenly visible and frames the blue black mountains, which sit hunched at the top of the loch, gathering the storms round their great shoulders and hurling them down on to the foam white wat- ers. .At other times the bow shimmers across the sullen sky with both its ynds resting on rho water—a verit- able gateway into fairyland. Even when the rainbows are not visible in this part of the world it seems as if they had spilled their colors on the woods and hills. When the clouds lift and the belated son Shines over mountain and loch the 5ffeet is almost as dazzling as the rain- bow itself. In heather time the hills are wino bolored on their lower slopes, while their tops are a deep indigo blue, standing out in strong contrast to the clear pale sky. Nearer at hand there is every shade of color from warm amethyst to the soft bloom of a purple plum. Later in the year the hills axe Checkered with the pale gold of ripe grain, the red brown of withered heather, the rusty glow of bracken fend the still vivid green of pasture ields, while the trees show every 5unnginable shade of hot color and seem to vie with each other in their efforts to defy the approaching gloom of winter. The waters of the sea lochs, which add so much to the beauty of rain- bow land, are tinted with all the shades of blue, gray and green and At sunset glow with colors which ri- val the 'hues of the rainbow. The leaves fall and spread their bright- ness on the ground remorsefully. The passionate autumn rains awaken the burns, which slept during the summer, acid the air is filled 'with the hoarse cry of many waters. The dwellers in this rainbow land tali into the habit of looking up to see if the arch of color is visible, and even if it is not there the atti- tude of hope cannot fail to uplift, and the consciousness that the rain- bow is not far off never quite leaves there, La � rll r 1� a Ravages Pearl Smith, an eigbteen•year old •i' lir girl, wag arrested -et Oollingwood, obarg' -I ed with themurder of the infant Chet " Gan. was found dead in the willows by come The Trouble Sweeping Over ada is an Epidemic. Weakened and Broken Constitu- tions Left Behind--Iiow to Regain New Health and Strength. La Grippe is one of the most danger• one diseases that annually sweeps Over Canada, It starts, with a sneeze ---a Blight ooid—and ends with a oomplioa- tton of troubles. It lays the strong men ou his bank; it tortures him, with fevers and ohills, with-headaohes and back - milieu. Its viotims are left low-spirited and depreesed, and an easy prey to brow chit's, pneumonia, rheumatism, and often that most dreaded of all diseasee— consumption. You oan avoid la grippe entirely by keepiog the blood doh and red by the 000astonal nee of Dr. Wil• Hams' Pink Pille. The trouble takes as its viotime those whose blood is in a poor oondition, and its after-effects are more dangerous and more lasting than the trouble itself. For the after•effeots of la grippe their is absolutely no other medinine can equal Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. Every dose helps to make rich, red blood that drives: disease from the system, and makes weak, despondent men and women bright, cheerful and strong, If you have suffered in any way from the epidemic of la grippe that has been sweeping over Canada, give this great heelth•reatoring medicine a trial, and it will not disappoint you. Here is proof of the wonderful power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pins over the niters effects ot this disease, Mr, P. E. Paulin, aolleotor of customs at Caraquet, N. B., °aye: "A few winters ago T had a se- vere attack of la grippe, which com- pletely broke me down. I had to take to my bed for several weeks, and al. though during that time I employed a dootor I did not seem to regio er from the trouble. I was left terr t 1y weak, did not sleep well, had nigsweats and little or no appetite. 1 wa really a phy- sical wreck. On a for •• er occasion I had need Dr. Williams'. Pink Pills for general debility with • ' oh mouse that I decided to try .he •• again. I sent for a half dozen box • e . d began to take the Pills at onoe. ' • en taking the second box I began to feel quite a change in my condition. I was able to walk about the house and my appetite was improving. From that on I gained strength every day and before the six boxes were done I was able to return to the office and at- tend to my work. I have since enjoyed the best of health, and think Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills the beet medioine for trouble of this kind." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills not only oromptly once the serious after-effeote of la grippe, but they make well and strong all persons suffering from any form of debility or general weakness. These Pills have no laxative or purga- tive notion; their mission is to make new, rich, red blood, and thus fortify and strengthen every organ and everyr y pert of the body.
