WASHINGTON,. May 6.—(Associated Press,)—The- council of the,. League of. Nations has refused to ^ffer a nfandate for Armenia to iny power, unless certain requosted stipulations aro, embodied by the* supreme council In the Turkish. Settlement. According to. official information, received hero today, the* il'eaguo council, in a.note to the- supreme council, has Insisted that the boundaries of Armenia bo fixed 80 that . ;a free, port, preferably Batum. be accorded her; and that protection ( for the defense of the. ljew stafet be provided, before tho league council will be free to ask ah*, independent pqwer to assume mandatory, powers over the country. The council of tlie league declares that no state should be asked to' assume tho burdfen of finanfclng" Armenia,' but suggests assumption qf joint financial responsibility by tjhe powers. If tho mandate should tyo offered to a small power, as has^beon suggested, it was stated, provision for an International mill- ■ tary forco should bo made, in order not to. Inflict an impossible burden upon a country incapable of bearing It. At the same time, such an international force, It was pointed out, would give to all the powers Hn .interest in tho Arm.mlan nation. I Tlie action in tho council of the league, it was stated, was taken previous to the decision of the supreme council at San Remo, to offer the Armenian mandate to the United States. In be'auesting President Wilson to fix the Armenian boundaries, the supreme council is believed by officials to have shown a disposition to comply with that part of the leaguo's suggestion concerning Armenia. The direct proffer of a, mandate.-contwiiy to the. league's advice, is taken as indicating, not so much a spirit qf antagonism to the league 'by tho supreme council, as a desire to fill a political obligation to the United States, which the league has felt incumbent upon it lp tho Turkish settlement, NATURAUZED WIVES AND Commons Debates Franchise Bill But Fails to Pass Any Clauses MARINE ESTIMATES UNDER CONSIDERATION Minister Announces Increase to Light Keepers and Sailors OTTAWA, May 6.—The house spent a douple / of hours on the Franchise ■ bill this afternoon, but. po further plauscs were passed. .Debate turned on enfranchisement of women of alien enemy birth, naturalized by marriage to\Britlsh wub- Jocts. Under, the original bill subh Women ->vere nol| given tho vote. ^'ho government brought doyn an amendment to meet their case, but it was criticized this afternoon as being 1 insufficient. W. D. Euler North Waterloo, who first raised the question in • tho house, declared that the government was trying to reconcile two irreconcilable things, and moved that the whole subsection ln question be struck from the bill. Thero was protest from the opposition members against the wife of. a British subject being required to go beforo a judgo to get certificates. Naturalization of the British subject carries Iwth it naturalization of his wife, declared lucien Cannon, Dorchester. "You cannot have the husband of one nationality, tho wife of another, and the children of a third nationality," he added. HWJiy should British subjepts," asked F. .,!. Johnston, Last Mountain,'1 * be required to travel many miles to secure a certificate from a judge?" To this Hon. Hugh Guthrio replied that the.government was willing to consider suggested changes In the language of tho amendment. Tho amendment was still under discussion when the committee rose. House in Supply In the evening.the house was in supply on ^he marine estimates. There was discussion of the sale of the ice breaker, J. I>. Hazen,. to Rus§ia. * William, Duff, . fcunenberg declared ho understood from a-re liable source that Vlckers, Ltd., who contracted to fuftply the vessel to the Canadian government for $1000,- 000, sold it to Russia for $^,600,000, this being gross negligence on the part of tho present minister's pre decessor. But Hon. C. C. Ballantyne ro piled that the vessel was sole through the ijrftlsh government. Hq failed to see where tho Vickers company came into the transaction. Later Mr. Ballantyne intimated that substantial increases in salary would be granted to lighthouse keepers under the reclassification schedule. Increases under the reclassification would likewise be granted to men employed on government Bteamers. The seamen, commented Mr. Duff, were the poorest paid in Canada. The house adjourned at 11 o'clock.

He ' added that in no conceivable circumstances would the government concede the demands of the Sinn Fein, and that the proposal to invite Sinn Fein to another Irish convention was a proposal wholly out of contact with any living reality. "Tho country will be well advised," Baron Birkenhead said, "that we are faced by a body of desperate, well organised and able men, banded together to challenge British might, and to shrink from no means calculated to secure what they call self-determination and Independence." Irish Republic and States LONDON, May 6.—Thu subject of lie support given to "tho Irish Republic" by some persons in the United States came up in the house today. ! Horatio Bottomley asked whether the government was aware that appeals for aid in tho sale of bonds addressod by Do Valera as "President of the Irish Republic," were 'still appearing in Americun news- papers, and were supported by the governors of various states and whether Great Britalp proposed to make representations to President Wilson. Mr, Bonar Law, replying ih behalf of the go'vornment, said it was understood that such appeals were still appearing in certain American papers, but he was not in a posl-, tion to say whether they weto aup- ported by any government. Great Britain, he added, was not prepared to make any representations.

The government leader said*he had not seen a statement of the speci'fib facts named, but it did not alter his view regarding Great Britain's right course, namely, that It was not always wise to take action to which a country had the legal right. Capt. William Benn wanted to know whether the government would take steps to halt the malicious campaign which he declared was destroying the friendly relations be- tweon this country and the. United States. To this Mr. Bonar Law did not reply. . . Mr. Chadwick asked whether Bonar Law was uwarO that "this outlaw" was recently honored with the freedom of New Orleans, and whether any representations had( been made to the United States in the face of this "deliberate insult by an ostensibly friendly power." Mr. Bonar Law answered that ho was quite satisfied the good feeling of the United States was not represented at all by such demonstrations, and he did not believe that, any action the British government could take against them would have any other effect than to make the relhtion worse.

CARRANZA SHIFTING CAPITAL TO VERA CRUZ FOR A FINISH FIGHT MEXICO CITY, May 6.— Refusal to abandon the presidency in face of the menace of rebellion, featured a manifesto issued yesterday on the occasion of the national holiday, by President Carranza. The president announced that he would fight to a finish to put down the rebellion, and that he would not turn over the presidency to anyone except a legally elected successor. WASHINGTON, May 6.— Concentration by Carranza of troops at Mexico City is taken to indicate the president's determination to gather about him a force sufficiently strong to enable him to transfer his seat of government. The' abvious purpose of such concentration, it was explained, would be the defense of the capital, but, according to military experts, Mexico City is so difficult 'to defend that Carranza might be expected to employ the same tactics he did when Villa gained the ascendancy, in 1914, and_ again set up his' capital at' Vera Cruz.

The teaching of German' In the p.ubllc schools of the state was abolished during the war period. At that time tho language was being taught in a few of the high schools, and sentiment demanded that 'it be discontinued. There has been no reversal since that time, and the speaking of German, oven in ordinary con- , vernation, is quite sufficient in some communities to get a person into serious trouble.

O. Rose, AI.P.P. for Nelson riding, gave an interesting address on the work of the legislature during the past session. Ho dealt with the prohibition ivfoi'-.n- dum to i be taken in the summer, mother's pensions, and provision for sub-normal children. The new Motor Regulation act was discussed, and enactment to raise the status of real estate agents. Civil jioj-vfa. control, electoral changes and Investing ' villages with local control re also dealt with.

SHORT 0FBREAJH Could Hardly Walk Without Resting When you go to a physician to be examined for any heart trouble one of the first questions he asks Is: "Are you short of breath?" Now, when* the heart becomes affected there ensues ,ji feeling of a choking sensation, a shortness of breath, palpitation, throbbing, Irregular beating, smothering sensation, dizziness and a weak, sinking, all- gone feeling uf oppression and anx- I'ty. On the first sign of the heart becoming weakened or the nervea unstrung Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are just the remedy you require. They regulate and stimulate +l:e heart, and strengthen and restore the whole nerve system., Mr Stephen Grouse, East Clifford, N.S., writes:—-"I suffered for five yi_a.__ with heart trouble, I could hardly walk from the house to the barn without resting as I used to get so short of breath. Doctors could not help me. My wife told me tu get a box of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills and I felt better after U-king them; three boxes made me quite well.

"I want tonight." said Dr. Rose, o say. a few words about some of the acts that are of interest to tho citizens of Nelson, Many of the acts passed are of little Interest to you, but some of them are of considerable importance. Sub-Normal Children "First, chapter 5 of 1920 statutes— in act providing for the establishment -of.schools for sub-normal boys and girls. There are ,a number of simple minded and mentally deficient children In tho province, and an appropriation of J40.00G has been made to establish schools in the vicinity uf the boys industrial school at PoIut'Grey. The act also covers deaf and dumb and blind children. Formerly, the blind children were sent to Halifax and ihe deaf and dumb . to Winnipeg, obviousLv at great 'expense to the province j but now we are preparing to deal with these poor unfortunate children at a home in Vancouver. Real Estate Agent Licenses "An act has been passed to license real estate., agents. JSDhls is one of those blue sky laws for the purpose; of preventing fraud. A license.;fee of $10 is chared to agents and ?2 for salesmen, and in cases of fraud or misrepresentation their, licenses will be revoked. Electoral System Changes "Chapter 24 of 1A20 statutes is the Electoral < act, and I think it is a very good' one. At the present moment everyone is disfranchised, no one, in the ■• province has a vote. The new act allows voting: by an abwentee ■ in any part of (he province, and the vote Is checked' by comparing, signatures on envelopes containing* .Ujie '.ballot paper with signatures registered at the time of admission to the polls. Thus frauds such' as. existed iu the ease of 191*3 byelectlon at Vancouver will be pre- ented, I. think the act is as gcod .s we can possibly make it. anji I he opposition was successful in getting a number of amendments made. Another feature of the lOlectoral act, is tha,t anyone who dess not vote at' an election has his name removed from the voters list, Und will have io make fresh application to be" restored. This may s^em a little drastic, but it was thought that If a person did not take enough interest In the affairs of the province, to cast a vote he might "Just as well be removed from the voters list. , "A lot of. opposition was made on thi. .Japanese question, but the act excludes them' from voting, as it . was considered it might be a dangerous precedent to allow Orientals under'* any ^ eircumstances to huvq. .the franchise,, and that to grant votes to Returned Japanese suldiers might prove the thin edge ot wedge to let in all < Orientals- including Hindus, who aro British subjects. Village Councils "An acl for the incorporation of iilages was passed which 'gave villages a -voice 'iu their internal management but avoided the danger of small places such as Sandon :uid Sllverton being incorporated as cities leading to finai.clul disaster nd their being taken over by a receiver. Motor Regulation "The Motor Traffic Regulations act, No, 85 of 1920 provided for licensing of chauffeurs and the exclusion of minors under 17 With exceptions for lads between 15 and 17 specially approved by the chief of police. It also includes an increase of fees on a rather curious basis, namely the weight of the car in i*unds Is added to the cost of th« car in dollars. A $15 fee is charged on 2500 units thus arrived at and an additional 60 cents tin each additional 100 units above that figure. Tlie income from this source is to be dovotcd to upkeep of highways, and tho, scale would double the income from fees. On the strength of this measure five million dollars had been borrowed fo.- road construction and repair to be re- ; paid—interest and sinking fund— ' t ot such motor feus. .... ,.., ..!•» 1 ..'.fi a.,111 Results YOU get results from your ;inves tment when you select a suit or a dress .from our stock.

' GAS IN THE STOMACH IS DANGEROUS • Recommends Dally Use of Magnosla to Overcome Trouble. Canned by Fermenting rood and Acid Indigent ion. Qns and wind In tbe stomach, ac- !0mpaiited by that full; bloated feeling after eating are utmost- certain ■ evidence of the preHcnce of. excessive hydrochloric acid in the stomach, ere-* utlng so-called "acid indigestion." Acid stomachs are dangerous because too much acid Irritates the delicate lining of the .stomach, often lead- Inn* to' gastritis accompanied by serious stomach ulcers. Food ferment/, and sours, creating the distressing gas which distends the stomach and hampers the normal functions of the vital internal Organs, often affecting the heart. It Is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids which have no' neutralising effect on tbe stonine.. acids. Instead get from* any druggist a few ounces pf Blsurated Magnesia and take a teaspOonful in a quarter glans of water right after eating. This will drive the gas, wind and bloat right out of the body, sweeten tbe stomach,, neutralize tbe excess acid and prevent Its .formation and there Is no sourness or pain. Blsurated' Magnesia (In powder or tablet form™never liquid or milk) Is harmless to the stomach, Inexpensive''to take and the beat form of magnesia for stomaoh purposes. It Is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of Indigestion.

' . , i -I Mothers' Pensions ,.] . "One of tiie mose useful acts passed is that to" provide pensions "tdr: mothers. 'TtlCollows closely the acts in force in AOTie of the other provinces and-in Washington. It provides1 for Indigent widows and for the! wives and children of men incarcerated in jails. The scale is $42.50 a month plus $7.50 for each child under IC. The beneficiaries must, of course be British and mothers must havo resided eighteen mohths in the province .uid be fit and proper, persons In tlie estimation of the superintendent of neglected chil- (l,.en___M;r. South of Vancouver, I believe—to receive assistande. It will co|f the province about $300,000 a year, but 1 think it is a wise measure. ' "An 'act to amend tho supremo court act is nf interest to, Nelson. Formerly an order, of the court could only be granted by a supreme court judge, who only visits this part twice a year, although strictly speaking you were always entitled by law to have a supreme court judge in ' residence at Nelson. By the amending act a county court judge can now Issue such orders." Liberal Promises Dr. Rose then reviewed the promises of the Liberal party as compared with . performances. "Proportional representation granted to municipalities has proved a fiasco In the two cities that had tried It, Nelson and New Westminster," said Dr. Rose. "You know what happened in Nelson, he said. "After the second year that It was in force 14 per cent of the electors lost thoir vote ip the election of January, 1!)10, and the council of 101!) repected proportional representation In the same way in which they had adopted It, by means of an amending act which I was successful Iri having inserted, In the legislature of that year. New Westminster has done the same thing. This last year ih tlie city of Vancouver they have decided to adopt it and I am watching with considerable interest to see how It works out. ' So far as adopting the principle for this provinee^tHe present governm6nt has done Vi'-itlilng.

Wynn, chairman of tho workers compensation board at $(-,000; Parker Williams and Hugh t.ilmi-re In similar positions at $5000 and many others. Mr. Brewster, In his first budget speech said tho government intended to keep revenue and expenditure equal, but this year Instead of keeping within revenue there was a deficit of nearly three and a half million dollars, and there were great increases all along. New departments alone had cost $474,000 such as the office of censor of moving Pictures, $10,372; public utilities commissioner,' with no public utilities to care for, $24,360, and so on. Gold Brick to Municipalities Government aid to mhnlcipalitles was something of a gold brick. Municipalities were empowered to double amusement taxes and the Increases taxes ' would revert to the municipalities for building schools and hospitals, it was giving them a. present of money they had to tax iVrid then collect in such a way as to damage if not kill amusement Industries. ' Dr. Rose disapproved of absolutely free higher education, though ho approved expenditure on primary education. He considered university students, of whom there wore 1500, should puy $100 a,year, which would furnish considerable revenue. Tho amount spent of agricultural higher 'education was altogether disproportionate. When conditions had improved and the mqney market was easier it would be time enough to incur this heavy expenditure. Replying to* a question, Dr. Hose said he had repeatedly urged on tlio' minister of public works the subject of the Ymir road, ani was assured that this was Included iu the htghwdy estimates to ' participates in. the federal grant oft$40 for.each $60 put- up by the province.

Senator Nichblls Says Proposals Will Consolidate Resources OTTAWA,- Mky 6 (Canadian Press) House of commons criticisms of the British Empire steel corporation's proposed merger of Canadian steel and shipping interests were warmly replied to in the senate yesterday by Senator Nleholls. Speaking as one of the vice-presidents of one of the con':. stitutent companies In the merger, the Dominion Iron and Steel company, Senator Nleholls said his only desire in bringing the. question to the attention of the senate was to dissipate false Impressions, which might be created by statements made in another place in tho parliament. Some months; ago when the question of the merger was first brought to bis attention ho had strongly opposed but .Investigation of all the facts, convinced him. He had como to the conclusion that the project was- a thoroughly good one, of- the greatest possible advantage ■ to Canada. To-day as every Canadian bus. nesa. man will realize Canada was almost entirely dependent upon tho United States for supplies of raw material. This made »for the greatest difficulty. While the Dominion Iron and Steel company occupied a strong position in respect of world trade. It was for the purposo of this adverse condition for the deyelo- ment of Canadian resources and for the development of Canadian export trade that the British Empire Steel Corporation was promoting this merger.

THE PLAGUE OF PIMPLES BODV COVE-USD WITH THEJt The primary .cause .of . pimples arises from the blood not-bejng In a good condition. When the blood becomes impure you will flnc( that pimples will break out all over the body, but more particularly on the forehead,' nose and chin, and al- though they are not a dangerous trouble they are very unsightly. What you need when pimples or boils break out is a real good blood purifying medicine such as Burdock Blood Bitters. . This preparation has been on the market for over 40 years and is the most reliable remedy for all troubles arising from a. bad conditio, of t)ie blood. It removes all the Impurities from the system, and will leave a clear, healthy skin. Mr. Emerson Q. Ooodwln, Cats- bridge, N.J-.,. writes:—"Por nearly two years I suffered from boils and pimples on my face and neck, and nearly all. of my body was covered with the pimples. I tried most evef'y- thing, but got no relief.

To most people it will come as a surprise that the ,Magyars are still among the "hold-outs" as far as*the conclusion of peace is concerned. Hungary's hesitation has arisen through the fact that while under the treaty it has gained the independence from Austria for which in pre-war days it contended, it now objects to the terms because they do not permit the Magyars to domineer over the Transylvanians, Jugo-Slavs and Czecho-Slovaks. Hungary's ideal of a peace treaty would be one which gave complete, freedom to tyrannize over three or four other nationalities. ^.:>.1"fc. %■ '"** Early Work Makes Successful Fairs Publication of the list of dates for the annual fall fairs in Kootenay and Boundary calls attention to the important fact that the time to make the arrangements which will result in successful fairs is during the spring and early summer.

During that time the country to the south of the Rio Grande has suffered from almost incessant civil war and in the brief intervals of comparative peace brigandage has been.as common as moonshining in Kentucky. Recently' it had seemed that something approaching an era of peaceful industry was at hand. There were* signs of reestablishment of mining and other industries; foreign interests engaged in development enterprises were again receiving some protection; even the Mexicans themselves were doing some work. Perhaps the resulting improvement in general conditions created enough visible wealth in the form of supplies and moijey to reawaken the predacious instinct in the various revolutionary leaders who have been comparatively quiet for the past year or so. In any event Villa and Obregon and the rest of the pack of rascals are again'in fully cry, nominally after the head of Carranza, but really after a chance to loot. Carranza is probably as big a rascal as any of them, but he did his country no service when he gave up the pursuit of the bandit leaders. If he had kept after them until he captured them, if he had followed, the policy of Diaz, he might have saved the country the new period of bloodshed and destruction which it now appears to be embarking upon. The Mexicans as a whole would be peaceful enough if the bandit leaders were brought to justice and a decent respect for law and order inculcated in the public mind. But you can't reform a bandit by taking afternoon tea with him. 0FPERGER1VER Extension of Pacific Great Eastern to the Eastward Planned VANCOUVER, May 6.—The provincial government has arranged to send out two parties of engineers this summer to conduct a survey north from Prince George for the proposed extension of the Pacific Great Eastern railway into the Peace River country.

Provision is made in the constitution for an entrance fee of GO cents and an annual subscription of $1 per member. Seven members wore to make a quorum and meetings will be held every third Thursday ln the month. The age limit was set at 15 years and over. It was decided that the annual subscription to the Nelson District Rod and Gun club for the executive members of the junior club, who by the constitution are required to be members of the senior club also, would be paid for out of the general funds of the Junior club; It was also decided to issue buttons to members of the club, and a committee was appointed to ascertain the cost of buttons. The annual subscription fee entitles members to one button free of other cost. Permission to trap and shoot crows on the flats fronting Kootenay Lake is to be sought of Chief Constable Em- eat Gammon, the members of the club having decided to exterminate all crows.

II PULL SWING Speakers at Outdoor Meeting Endorse Work of Local Institution "With the big Y.M.C.A. financial campaign now in full swing and with canvassers meeting with a generous response from business men and private citizens, convincing evidence of the support the campaign will receive and an endorsation of the value of the institution was given yesterday, on which subject three prominent speakers addressed the large public meeting on Baker street last evening. While the Kilties band played popular airs, H. M. Baskin, chairman of the campaign committee, drove up to the headquarters, and after clearing the ground with the statement that the effort is to clean up the financial indebtedness of the Institution once and for all,1 introduced the first speaker, Rev. J, IB. Tyner. Mr. Tyner, who recently arrived in the city to take over* the pastorate of the Baptist church, stated that though he was not familiar with the work of tin. local iiiMtiiuiion, he was familiar -wj'th the work of the association in Flanders, where his three sons fought in tbe trenches. He said that work was beyond praise. An institution should be judged by the product it turned out, and there can be no question that the Y.M.C.A. was a benefit physically, mentally and morally, Mr, Tyner concluded. ■ John Notman -next- addressed the meeting, stating he had no hesitation in supporting the institution because if anything at aU were "worth supporting, it was a movement having for Its object social advancement, and particularly advancement of the young. No profits wero derived from the institution, which was non-sectarian and open to all, A brief address was also given by President R. Smillie, who answered the question as to "why the Y.M.C.A. needed money." He explained that the great majority of the me/nbers of. the institution were boys under 16 years. In other words, the youths used the building about four times as much as did the senior members.
