YEAR'S SMELTER E Latest Bonus and Dividend by Consolidated Equal to $6,25 Per Share MONTREAIi, Dec 15^-A boa- us of $5 a shore and a dividend of S per cent or a total of 90.25 per share, was declared on the atoolc of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company of Canada, limited, at a meeting of the board of directors Tuesday afternoon, covering the h!\ months ending December 81, 1926. For the first haK of tho year the company has paid a bonus of f3 a share and a dividend of 3 per cent or a total of $3.75, so that the total distribution for 1926 will ho $10 a share. The nctlon of the directors was looked forward to with a great deal of interest ln financial circles and the flltful fluctuations of the stock during the past few days testified to the uncertainty as . to what would be decidfd on. The amount of the bonus, however, comes as little of a surprise, although Borne expectations ran as high as ?7 for the. half year so as to bring up the total bonus for the year to an even $10. (Declaration of 5 per cent for the half year, on the other hand, was quite unexpected. As the stock has a par value of $25 a 5 per cent dividend Is equal to $1.25 per share. The dividend has been at the annual rate of 6 per cent since 1923 and has been paid semi-annually since 1924 at the rate of 3 per cent and 76 cents a share. Whether the 5 per cent declaration is an intimation thnt the stock has been placed on a 10 per cent a'hnual basis was not disclosed by the company.

Mr. Ramsay stated 'hut the -section from Box Lake to Summit had cost $54,000 and that to complete the link to Rosobory and •ravel it throughout and m"ke it fit for ■a it to traffic would require $150,000 rr.ore. He expressed the opinion that f *he Enterprlse-Slocan City link were built the com'ng year not much would be done between Summ't and Rosebery. ;*nd he suggested the connection with the Arrow laVes would probably be completed in 1928. In connection with the road outlet to Kaslo which has been strongly pressed on the government by the Kaflo boTd of trade, and the mine operators of the Kaslo-Hlocan area Mr. Ramsay reported that 3% miles h«d been constructed this year from Zwicky to Man- Kane^e from funds furnished from the rtennrtment of mines. He estimated that a 10-foot roadway as asked for by Va-=lo and the mine,* operators making the balance of the connection between t»»e Slocan and KaMo road systems passable for auto traffic could be complied for $35,000.

"Six thousand, dated August 6, 1926." "Campaign funds." And eo the list went on. There was one check for $10,725 issued on October 20, 1925. Another* of $5000 bore the date of October 1, 1925. One of $2000 dated October 14, 1925, Mr. Reifel said he thought was used for figh.ing prohibition. ''What prohibition campaign was on In 1925?" queried Mr. Rowell. "I think it was money spent in Victoria to get beer by the glass," said the witness after some reflection. Total $75,000 Four checks totalling $40,000 and payable to one man were Issued between the beginning of January, 1926, and^the end of June. In all tho contrifiutions totalled over $75,- 000. And when this information was before the commission, the question ,arose as to whether or not it was portinent to the Investigation. "My submission is that this discloses such a shocking expenditure that it presents a public scandal of the first magnitude," declared Mr. Rowell in arguing that the whole matter of these contributions should be probed to tho bottom. Commissioner Wright asked If there was anything to connect these expenditures with tho customs department in any way. "That I cannot say," said Mr. Row-: ell. "My submission would be that the commission should pursue them to a point where it ls shown that the customs is not affected. We should probe It to the bottom and then If nothing to the* disadvantage of the customs is found so much the better for the customs department." "We are not charged with the duty of finding out whether breweries of distillers contribute to party funds," demurred Commissioner Wright. Chairman J. T. Brown referred to the fact that the sum of $40,000 had been paid to one man between January and June of the present year for campaign funds. Should Be Probed "This ls so large I think lt should be investigated," he s.\ld. "To me, th's is a shocking amount to be paid for campaign purposes." "The whole thing has such an aspect that I must place It before the commission " said .Mr, Rowell. The three commissioners decided to defer their decision on,the matter until tomorrow. "We think we'd better sleep over this," Chairman Brown informed counsel. Tells of Shipments Before Mr. Relfe' took ho stand Major A. B. Nash of Clajkson, Gordon A Qilworth, was examined In regard to the books and records of British Columbia breweries. He stated that mllliona of dollars worth ol liquor waa shipped by the Consolidated Exporters and the Joseph Kennedy company to a man called Sa- vord at Windsor, Ont. This was all duty paid liquor. The duty and salaa tax on shipments in bond or in transitu he estimated at a very large sum running Into several millions. This was revenue which had not accrued to the •Dominion because the shipments were not on their face subject to duty or sales tax. In answer to a question by J. W. Deb Farris, appearing for the brewing interests, as to why all the Brltlah Columbia breweries had not been investigated, Major Nash stated that Inquiry had been conducted only Into those indicated by the department of customs.

Everyone remembers the Coldstream Guards band and the enormous sue* ce*s lt achieved in Nelson and elsewhere. It attracted one of the largest crowds ln the city's history, not only from Nelson, but from the «ur- roundlng district and from comparatively faraway point? such as Golden nnd Cour d'Alene. The Australian band would have been equally effective in drawing a crowd and ft would have been heard ln Nelson if there had been any place 1n which a performance could have been staged at this time of the year. But where could It bo held? Not ln the rink. At best the skating rink ts not an Ideal place for .such performances. At this season of the- year it ls impossible. Hence, the Nelson organization which had an opportunity to bring the Australian band here, the band which made such a huge success ln Vancouver and Calgary, had to drop the Idea. Nelson needs an arena. It needs it for conventions, for the entertainment of convention delegates, for big Indoor sporting events, for badminton, for countless purposes which would be for the benefit of every resident of Nekton. The Imperial Conference Theoretically, Canada has a new status under the decisions of the Imperial conference with which Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King has returned Wearing as a -sort of semi-triumphal robe to Canada. Actually, there is no difference in the position of this Dominion or any other. . Canada for many decades has been free to act as it pleased. It could Join with the rest of the Empire In imperial affairs or not. But Canada has always stood foursquare with the rest of the Empire, as a mutter of common sense, If nothing else, and it always will. Borne one has said that under the new doctrine the dominions have five-sixths of the advantages of the Empire and that Great Britain ha* five-sixths of the responsibility. That Is true, but.lt ls no more true today than yesterday. If Canada were attacked, where would it look for aid? To the rest of the Empire. If Great Britain were attacked It would demand nothing of Canada, but in self-protection, quite apart from blood relationship, quite apart from natural sentiment and loyalty, quite apart from love of British traditions, what could Canada do? It would Btand foursquare once more beside the Mother Land, and the rest of the Empire. There is no real change ln the situation, though the resolutions at the conference perhaps satisfy -some of the theorists whose loyalty to the Empire ls perhaps much greater, much more sincere, than they would publicly admit, except in times of -stress.

GERMAN STREET CAR* HOW CARBV MAIL BOXES BERLIN, Dec. 15.—Letterboxes on street cars are an Innovation In the German postal system.

That Body j of Yours By JAMES W. BABTOW, U.D. \, fsggsaassssstfn-taasunssstssswM Preventing Measles In a large New York institution for children an outbreak of measles oc- curred. It seemed a fitting opportunity to try out a method of preventing lt spreading throughout all tiie wards. So, Just as in smallpox, diphtheria and scurlet fever which can now be prevented by vaccinia and serums, so the method of Injecting the blood of a patient recovering from measles Into a Well patient was used. The institution had a supply of this blood on hand, but unfortunately it waw not sufficient to treat all the cases, und so the value of the serum could ttbt be definitely ehown. There were 15 children In the institution \-\ho did not receive this protective iiiyculaticn. of this number 3's or S4 pi*r oent* contracted measles, and it was of the "uverags severity," with ull tht characteristic symptoms and a rise in temperature from 103 degrees to 10*1 degree*. The eruption and tiie tempers- tare lasted usually from three to four days. One hundred and seven ty-four children were Injected with the plasma ov blood of convalescents, and 7S per cent of these were protected for three weeks Biid Bl per cent for three months, during which time the epidemic raged iu the institution. And of these that did contract measles, it was in a very modified form. None of these children, appeared to be ill, so much so that it was Impossible to keep ihem In bed at the end of iM hours. The temperature ran about 108 degrees only. Further of els cases of bronchopneumonia following the measles, five occurred in th-my who had not received the injections, uf 10 cases of middle ear trouble, folk-wing the measles, eight occurred in children who had not received the Injectloni I am handing those facts oil to my readers.

WORLD'S LEADING AVIATOR Fighting Fit •Hat's the only kind of fitness that gets you anywhere, these days. Fighting fit — ready for anything — for you never know what's going to happen next It may be a romp with the children. It may be business with a hard-boiled crowd, ready to take your last cent away. The details don't matter. It's life. It's fun—when you're fit. Are you like that? Do you tingle from head to foot with ' overflowing vitality ? No ? Then you do need Kruschen. If you Hve the average city life, you .must havfe Kruschen. Every ■day. There's no mystery about it. The plain .fact is that the human inside was not designed for the sort of work you are giving it. You get constipated. You begin to think life's hard — and it's only your liver. The reason why Kruschen puts you right and keeps you right is just as simple. Each little tasteless pinch is a full day's fiuppb of six mineral salts — the salts that your inside must have — salts that Nature sees you g^t if you give her a chance. This little dose stimulates the liver and kidneys to the proper performance of their duty, thoroughly cleanses all impurities from the system, and sends clear, healthy blood streaming to every part of the body. You become, in fact, an entirely new being; cheery, energetic, sen- reliant; bubbling over with that glorious "Kruschen feeling." It's Uie Uttle daily dimeful that does it.
