Feed your nerves and all these symptoms due to nerve starvation will disappear. Eminent specialists state that one c£ the best things for the nerves ls an organic phosphate known among druggists as Bitro-Phosphate, a five- grain tablet of which should be taken with each meal. Being a genuine nerve builder and not a. stimu- lent or habit-forming drug, Bitro- Phosphate can be safely taken by the weakest and most delicate sufferer and the results following Its use are often simply astonishing. By strengthening tlie nerves, weak, tired people regain energy and vigor; thinness and angularity give way to plumpness and curves; sleep returns to the sleepless; confidence and cheerfulness replace debility and gloom; dull eyes become bright, and pale, sunken cheeks regain the pink glow of health. CAUTION—Bitro-Phosphate, the use of which Is inexpensive, also wonderfully promotes the assimilation of food, so much so, that many people report marked gains ot weight in a few weeks. Those taking it who do not desire to put on* flesh, should use extra cart in avoiding fat-producing foods.

Smillie & Weir Ladies' Wear Specialists ARt DUE TO ACIDITY Tells Safe, Cortain, Speedy Relief, for Acid Indigestion. r So-called stomach troubles, such as Indigestion, gas, sourness; stomachache and inability to retain food are in probably nine eases out of ten, slmp,- ly evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking placo i» the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion. " Gas distends tlie stomach and causes that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid Irritates and -inflames the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excess development of secretion of acid. To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents ot the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and mako 11 bland and harmless, a teaspoontul or bisurated magnesia, a good and effective corrector of acid stomach, should be taken in a quarter of a glass o< hot or cold water after eating or whenever gas, sourness or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments and Is a perfectly harmless and Inexpensive remedy to uso. An antiacid, such as bisurated magnesia, which can be obtained from any druggist in cither powder or tab et form enables the stomach to do Us work properly without tho aid of artificial digestonts. Magnesia comes in several forms so be cortain to asl< for and take only Bisurated Magnesia, hlch is especially prepaid for the ahovo purpose.

The .commissioner intimated that he thought the evidence sufficient tb justify an order restraining the operation of tbe organization for 40 days.

Martin, pre sklent of the concern could not re member whether' this was previous to October last when ]\o was using stationery bearing the printed .words "Incorporated under state laws."

(Continued From Page One) Mr. McCulochl sugested that the city might be asked to put the elec trie sign at Bonnington Falls that had been talked of for many years An attractive sign on the bluff would also be efective. Manufacturers Profiteers Mr. Jones said the board ought to do something about the oxeessiv prices charged for Canadian ma-tufai- tured goods, which usually approxi mated the cost of manufacture, plus the freight, plus the tariff duty, plus the exchange. If the board would make protest against the high of prices for Canadian manufacture) it might help a little. President Hunter—You're pretty nearly right, Jones. Mr. .Jones pursued the topic further .alleging thnt the majority of Canadian Industrial stocks were grat- ly watered and in many cases the water was pretty thin. He Instanced paper stocks as generally greatly Inflated, arguing that legitimate profits could never havo raised the market price of slocks several hundred per cent. Spanish River at lhe beginning of the war was 12. and it was now 80, and others were proportionate. It was this that made prices so high, and that made people buy from the United States. Mr. McCulloch said that the Lake of the Woods Pulp Mills now so much In the public eye could get better prices for Its paper oa tbe American sido than in Canada, so It could be claimed that the Canadian price was regulated by the American. In answer to this Mr. Jones mentioned a small shipment he had brought in of American paper, on which ho paid 25 per cent duty, 7Ms per cent wnr tax ,and 2 to I ]>*')' cenl exchange, and still was able tn shade the Canadian price. The Canadian price was thug 'ii. per cent, nt least higher lhan lhe American. ,1. A.< Irving—You mean that Canadian manufacturers are malting more lhnn American manufucl.hrers. Mr. Jones—Yes. They are holding up prices as high as they can with their advantages. F. A, Starkey said It would bo quite proper to refer this phase of profiteering to the Industrial com- mitti-e for a report, and the board could then mako a suitable recommendation to the dominion government on the matter. It should not he the only way of meeting the general conditions In which tho country was .situated,. Tl, wa* almost Import ant to urge lhat a preference bo given Canadian products in the British market. He said effort should proceed upon two lines, to open the British market to Canadian goods, but at the samo . time to protect tho people from! would being the victims of profiteering. f On motion ot Mr .Starkey and C.

The board, on motion of Mr. Baskln and A. S. Horswill, decided to ask the proper United States authorities to reopen the consular office j here lhat was closed some years; ago. Exchange Discussion Mr. Jones had the honor of initi-' atlng another big discussion, this time on the exchange situation. From the reports of the board of trade gathering at Vancouver, ho said, he gathered thnt oxchango between Canada and London was by way of New York. P. B.

A reward of $1,000 is now offered for his arrest. Like his former pal in the plugging scandal. John T. Scott, of notorious memory. Cook made his getaway to j Seattle hy motor. He is still somej laps ahead uf ihe officers of the crown.

But be had absolutely no remembrance why lie did so or on whose orders nnd advice. On that point his memory was a blank'.

This statement does not tally his answers to questions put at least year's ses- ilon by Mr. Bowser, opposition le.nl- ■r/ who soughi information concerning Cook's appointment und the reasons therefore. Then, Mr. Farris bad replied, Cook was appointed to tlie position In .lime, .10 is. lu other words he was given the jolt of cashier some months after ihe attorney- general assumed the direction of the law department of tho crown, and lu a department coming . under t\ie jurisdiction of ibe attorney-general.

The New Home Rule Bill The home rule bill does not appear to meet with very general favor in Ireland. No home rule bill ever has. Complaint is being made that the present bill is being drawn up without consulting the parties in Ireland. No doubt Lloyd George will reply that consultation with parties in Ireland . has never helped British governments or home rule to get anywhere, except into trouble. N Apparently the British government has decided to go ahead and use its own judgment in formulating a measure which it believes to be just and to provide protection for the minority, which is essential to any successful bill. It may be taken for granted that the bill will not satisfy either party, but once it has been placed in operation and tested may prove the basis of a settlement of the century old problem of Ireland. . <.*.j The World's Greatest Fighting Ship ls British The world's greatest completed warship is the battle- cruiser Hood, which has just been built at Clydebank for Great Britain. The historic fact about the Hood is not only that she is the latest great warship to come under the White Ensign, but she is possibly the last 'of her kind, and certainly the last that will be delivered for at least four years to come. Great Britain henceforward has no great shipbuilding program, and she has no capital ships under construction for her fighting fleet. The Hood marks the culmination of the warship building efforts since the opening of -this century. Into this ship have been woven all the lessons of the great war that the British experts have been able to digest. She is the naval architects' idea of the practical realization of the ideal fighting ship. The following details-give an idea of her size: Length, 860 feet; displacement at load draught, 41,200 tons; horsepower of engines, 144,000; designed speed, 31 knots; main armament, eight 15-inch guns; secondary armament, twelve 5.5-inch and four 4-inch anti-aircraft guns; full load of oil fuel, 4,000 tons. The two previous greatest ships were the Renown and the Kepulse, which are each 794 feet in length, displace 26,500 tons, and the horsepower of their engines is 112,000, while each carries two big guns fewer than the Hood. .j.*. The Effect of Renewal of Trade With Russia Dealing With Hearst Nobody wants tlie job of denlinpr with the muck and the filth and tho poison of a foul sewer. It is a dirty and dangerous job. But the timo cornea when, In the public Interest, It has to be done. Canada learns with chagrin that the newspaper publications of William Randolph TTenrst are again to bo permitted to pollute her newsstands nnd be sold upon her struts. This exponent or dir.loy.illy In his own country, of hatred toward Britain, of distortion of facts, of dishonest treatment of news, of faked cables, of pro-German propaganda, of salacious •' inensfillonnlism, seelts once more to dump his offal In this Dominion. The war* timo notion of tho Federal Government in plarin-7 the ban upon his papers met will, universal commendation. Relaxation of that reslrietion will be as generally .and as emphatically deporod. The Glnl.p bplicves in the freedom of .the Press. Tt henrves. (no, in individual freedom. But it ivcnir- nizes the right of the citizen to be protected from tho criminal. And It recognizes the right of the nat'on to refuse its hospitality to the avowed and unscrupulous alien enemy. Tn its issue of last Saturday, January 31, 1020, Hearst prints upon tho editorial page of his New York American a picture of tho new British dreadnought, HM.S. Hood. And here i-s. the text of his leading editorial: "Such battleships as this one pictured on this page are therefore built to menace US. "They MUST be. "There is no other nation against whom England would need such ships. 9 "England Is not only strengthening her huge navy. "She is enlarging her army. She has appropriated $300,000,000 to build up an 'air fleet.' "And we PAY THE BILL, "That is just what we are doing. "The money to build these battleships and these airships aml I Tinm-; to enlarge the British army Is money DUE TO US—interest due on the gigantic loans England obtained to U30 In her war. | "Our Congress has decided that; It can spare only $30,000,000 for ded anarchy into tho nssnssinalion of William McKlnley; who ploted with von Bnrnstorff after the murder of hundreds of his fellow-citizens, Including women anil children, on the Lusltanla; who, even after tho United States formally entered tlio roll of tho Allied nat'ons in the Great War, diligently played the enemy's game during" thy life-and-death struggle in which ills own country was Involved. It is to be exepeled that this sort bf a creature will continue his miserable efforts to injure his native bind and to mislead , its people by all the untruthful and dishonest arts at his command. why Can- "PEP" The stir in the world's markets caused by the supreme council decision to end the blockade of Russia has extended even to Argentina. The congress there has been dallying for ' a year with a mill to authorize a credit of $200,000,000 to Britain and France. The prospects of Britain and France obtaining cereals and other raw materials from Russia has sent shivers through the high-price specialists of the Plate River. The effect upon our markets will be notable once there is clear proof that Russia can furnish supplies that otherwise might have come from this continent. The proposal apparently is to do the trading through the Russian co-operative union, which has stores all through Russia. This union is so popular among the people that the soviet has not interfered with it. The imports of manufactures will be distributed by the union, which, in turn, will collect raw materials and foodstuffs from the peasants at a fixed rate for the rouble, and export them. Ships going to Russian ports will be loaded with supplies on a barter basis, thus doing away with the great handicaps of exchange. Russian finance is so chaotic that only by primitive bartering can trade be carried on. Herbert Hoover,'whose judgment in this matter is trusted, says that to reopen trade with Russia along this line would be one of the best steps that could be taken for pacifying the people there, and the re-establishment of normal government. He says the Bolsheviki have been getting support from the people by urging that the allies were deliberately blockading Russia, and that the iron ring around them could only be broken by force. However this may be, the allied governments would find it necessary to avoid letting into Ru.ssia supplies that could | be used by soviet armies. It is true that when industry is thriving, and people are living well, they wish to avoid war, but the soviet is an autocracy 1;hat wants to spread its idea over the world, and will not hesitate to use any weapon that comes to its hand. Contradictions as to what can be expected of Russia in the way of supplies are numerous. The co-operative union, according to the Toronto Mail and Empire, says great stocks of wheat, flax, cattle, etc., exist, but banks which have had agents in Russia seem mystified by the claim. The Denikine government, however, specified a long list of materials of which it had an abundance in the south of Russia, and no doubt opportunity to get needed manufactures would bring out supplies. From an economic point of view, the opportunity looks inviting, but politically the chances are uncertain. f „ %%%—— " it is estimated thut tho curlh lu one iiuy'i. travel through Hpacu meets 75,000,000 meteors. .

Hearst sewers to dump their pestilence into this country. This country is no garbage can. There is no place here for the avowed and unscrupulous alien enemy. The doors should remain barred. And, at a time when patriotic Canadian newspapers have had to suspend publication temporarily, owing to tlie shortage of newsprint, the Dominion Government might woll consider the advisability of stopping the enorninus supply of Canadian paper consumed by the Hearst papers lu publishing these lying and dishonest attacks on tho Motherland and in endeavoring to sow distrust* and discord between Canadians and their cousins- south of the international boundary line Too long has Canada, permitted the Hearst creature tn bite the hand that fed it.

"And on top of that, the Uritish press fills its pages with reviling; with ugly and sneering statements that we went into tlie war to moke money. "That we waited for ,two _\ars to see which side would win, so, that I we could go In on the winning side! "That we pretended neutrality so that we could profiteer!

"We wonder what these Anglophiles who were filling the pr-ass with rtour dear mother-country," and "blood thicker than water" and "hands across the sea" and all That sort of sickening, sentimental nonsense a few months ago have to say now—when they say anything where they can be heard. "There are too many of these serfs of- England in private life yet, and too many in public life. "It is high time we Americans spoke out and rebuked this sort. It is higii time that certain hybrids in the Congress and in the Administration heard that this ia still an American Nation. "The patriotic Americans in the Congress should act. "Let England pay us on the money they borrowed. "Millions of Americans were persuaded, and many were coerced, into helping to make these loans to England. "Our Government raised the money by borrowing it from the American people on the security of Liberty bonds und then loaned it to England and now it is proposed that WE be taxed again to pay the interest due lo US—In order * to let British borrowers build battleships and alrfleets to intimidate us in the fuiure!

CRESTON LOSES AN OLDTIMER TO WASH AWAY THOSE [ WRINKLES ANI> CROWSl'EP/r \ If your face is disfigured with wrinkles, no matter what the cause, you can- quickly dispel every line, oven the most obstinate, by using a simple homo-made wash lotion. Merely dissolve an ounce of puw- lered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel—ingredients found In any drug store. ' Bathe the face in this, and—presto!— you scarcely believe your own eyes when you look into your mirror nnd behold tho marvelous transformation! The remarkable astringent action of tho saxolite so tightens the skin .Tinkles are literally pressed out. Best of all, this result ls not purely ttnhporary, for the lotion also has 1 nealthful tunic action, when tends tn strengthen and tone up the weakened tissue, and added benefit may Un expected with continued use.

Children as well as their elders need something hot to drink, and Cocoa is the only thing adapted lo their youth which at the same time they enjoy. It is not a stimulant, as are other beverages, but is nourishing and invigorating, ll strengthens their power of resistance against cold arid illness. Cocoa is recognized by doctors and dietitians as one of the standard foods, and is particularly recommended for growing children. Taken in the form of a beverage at breakfast or lunch, or after school in the afternoon, it is easily digested and the children love it. Give your children Cowan's Cocoa everyday, and it will help them to develop sturdy constitutions which will be the foundation for good leallh all through life.

Although state and city Btpiofltlos have succeeded in keep- p« it under control hi some sec- ins, tho disease has gotten entirely I'ond control in others. LJ(U is universally agreed by all jwi'l informed persons that the sur- [tb preventive is to get the system ]r^o 'the best possible physical con- njion, in order to be able to throw pi tho Infection. It lias been stated pi.t H'rffS possible to perfect the filers tu human resistance so that can throw off almost any infec- h, not excepting Spanish Influenza, |fl ioh is generally supposed to bo ii: uf the most contagious diseases Invn.

As a powerful reconstructive tonic and system builder Tanlac is without an equal. This is a statement of fact, aud Is fully' supported by recognized authorities. According lo all .accepted reference works, including the U. ' S. Dispensatory, Encyclopedia Britaniea, and tho leading text-books used iu the schools of medicine) tho principal ingredients of Tanlac possess the most powerful* reconstructive properties known to science^ This stat'.Miient is further proven by the' fact thai millions of persons who have actually taken 'Tanlac have testified to its extraordinary powers as a medi- uiiie. Tanlac restores health and strength to the weak and run down system by enabling every organ of the body to perform its proper function in the' waji nature intended. It creates a good, healthy appetite for wholesome, nourishing food, and is an ideal strengthening tonic for persons who are in a run-down condition and wlui are suffering from the after-effects of hard winter colds, grippe, or bronchial troubles. Irrefutable evidence of tlie reconstructive powers of Tanlac is shown by the fact that ii was used by tens of thousands during last year's epidemic with splendid results. One well-known Texas physician slated that he had never found anything to equal Tanlac for building up Iiis patients who had had influenza,- and that he had I rented over fourteen hundred eases in one month, Jn connection with the Tanlac treatment, keep the bowels open by t.iking Tanlac Laxative Tablets, samples of which aro enclosed with nvvry bottle of Tanlac.
