This wonderful discovery is the result of years of experiment and study, and at last there has been produced a razor that will shave any beard, NO MATTER HOW TOUGH. ELECTRIC TEMPERING adds CARBON to the iteel; whereas tempering: by fire, (the only other method known for centuries) DESTROYS the CARBON which is the life of steel. Mother makes of razors must be HONED AND GROUND often, as their blades will NOT hold an edge any length of time. CARBO MAGNETIC RAZORS do not require HONING or GRINDING during ft lifetime in private use; they are all tempered alike, every part of thr<r blades being subjected to the same AMPERE8 OF ELECTRICITY. CARBO MAGNETIC RAZORS are ground FIVE times by the HAMBURG METHOD, the most expensive grinding known.

It tones up the stomach and tho blood Iu Nature's own way, It Is well known all over tlio world ,is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The name was given to this vegetable compound because one of tho important ingredients was Golden Seal root. * * * Much an authority us Dr. Roborts Bartholow, of Jefferson Medical College, says "very useful as a stomacblc tonic Cures catarrh of the stomach and headaches accompanying the same." Dr. Drover Coo, in bis book Organic Medicines, speaking of Golden Seal root, says that "as a liver invlgorator it has fcto equals." Further he soys,*1 in chronic hi (lain mat-ion of tbe bladder we doom it one..f the most reliable agents of cure. As a tonic in tbe convalescing stages of fevers, imeumonla, dysentery and othnr acuto diseases Hy- drastls (Golden Seal root) is peculiarly appropriate." llr. Coo continues: "Wo would here adil that our experience has demonstrated the Hydrastis or Golden Seal root to be a valuable remedy in bronchitis, laryngitis, and other affections of the respiratory organs." "Of service; in chronic catarrh of the Stomach aud bowel* following abuse of alcohol, a tonic after malarial fever. Has a distinct, anti-malarial influence.

From nil accounts the present spring scorns very backward nil over the American continent. "Slippery" Mr. Pugsley cannot get away from the report of the roynl commission by saying that it wns partisan, The revenue (if Canada in the last fiscal year wns $83,100,625; tbe expenditure was $113,060,181, Tbe public debt on March 31st was $307,312,822. Hon. F, J. Fulton, K.O., commissioner of Lands und Works, has been appointed acting attorney general for British Columbia during Hon. Mr. Bowser's absence in England. • • • • Hon. Mr. Pugsley 1ms few sympathisers, but, after ull, are not bis liberal friends in the house of commons making themselves ridiculous in their attempts to keep him from sending in his resignation. The Grand Trunk Loan is under fire at Ottawa. The bombardment is coming from the opposition, who are not in favor of the government building the road, and then give it to the G. T. P. Company. It is reported that twenty-five of the young women ln London are being instructed in Jiu-Jltsu so ns to be able to cope with tbe police when next arrests of suffragettes are attempted. In a recent speech Sir Wilfrid said "that he was proud of Hon. Wm. Pugsley." We have not heard it reported that he wns proud of Emmer- son, Sifton, or Hyman, all members of his cabinet who resigned when confronted with proof of grafting. The British bouse of commons is being urged by the general public of Great Britain to maintain her supremacy in the air as well as on the sea. by building airships. Thc present activity of Germany to this end is viewed with Increasing alarm. The Canadian Northern Railway Co., asked the Ontario government for a subsidy that would have amounted to $1,600,000, and it was refused. Tho Grand Trunk Pacific got over $150,000,000 from the Dominion government. We wonder which of the two governments served tbe best interests of the people. « * * » It is only a question of a very short time before Hon. Wm. Pugsley tenders his resignation, which is snid to be demanded by many liberal members as well us the opposition. Sir Wilfrid will soon get busy and want to clean up and get rid of an element. in his cabinet whicli has discredited it for so long. Immigration figures given out by the Immigration Department show that the number and class of Americans now coming into Canada have never been equalled in Western Canada's history. Since the season opened the average has been 200 Americans n day, excluding children. Three thousand came in February, 7,000 in March, nnd 6,000 for tbe first half of the present month. • t • • The city council for the past two meetings have been discussing the advisability of the city borrowing $10,- 000 for sidewalk and street improvements. We have gone along fairly well in the matter of sidewalks but the street improvement has been slow principally for the reason that sufficient funds were not available. . The Council puts the question to the people, who will have to decide the matter by their ballots. • • * • Where the public money goes. The public expenditures of the Dominion for the fiscal year ending Mnrcn 31, exceeded the receipts by over $30,000- 000, while for thc previous year there was a deficit of over $16,000,000, or a total of about $47,000,00(1 for the two years which had to he provided for by the floating of loans. Practically all of this money has gone into the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific, in other words, the country Is now running into debt to build n railway for the Grand Trunk Pacific. Mr. Pugsley has been charged with misappropriating public money. His friends sny that the Royal commission which investigated these charges were partisan. The commission conr sisted of Judge Landry of the supreme court of New Brunswick, who was chairman; Mr. F. Mncdougall of Moncton, and Mr. N. I. Tweedie of St. Stephen. These are all well known men in New Brunswick, whose probity is unchallenged save by Mr. Pugsley, nnd would not lend their nnmes to a report unless substantiated by sworn evidence, und not for political put poses. A commission appointed by a provincial government, antagonistic to Hon. Wm. Pugsley has reported on an inquiry into the affaire of tbe New Brunswick Central Rullway. The commission reports that there is a discrepancy of $134,000 in the account and connects therewith thc names of Lieutenant-governor Tweedie and Mr. Pugsley. The latter declares that the commission was a partisan one, and makes a statement tending to show that the accounting fails to include important items from the totals. The commissioners recommend that: Messrs. Tweedie and Pugsley be proceeded against for a recovery of $134,- 000. The New Brunswick government must accept this recommendation. The whole matter will therefore bo submitted to the courts, where the province may hope to secure justice. Hon. Win, Pugsley, minister of pub- c works, in the Laurier government, was asked if there were any truth in the rumor that, he would resign his seat in the cabinet, Mr. Pugsley replied : "I do not see any reason why 1 should do so." Possibly Mr, Pugsley may have done things which ho should not have done, and possibly believes his resignation would disturb a government already too much disturbed hy such ministers ns Sifton, Hymun and Emmereon. It might be easier for Mr. Pugsley to resign than to hold on. But It will make no difference to the enemies or friends of Mr. Pugsley whether he resigns or not, as thc matter is sure to be investigated ln the public courts.
