OTTAWA, April 12—The Ottawa Citizen discussing the situation which has arisen out of lho death of Ihe government's bill to create a tariff commission says: "Gossip in political circles Is to the effect that the government may not bring in next session a bill to establish a tariff commission. "Tbe course to be taken, however, Is not definitely determined yet, The senate killed the bill this year and the Liberals will bo in a majority In the upper house for some years yet, nccording to present prospects. As a consequence, the nssuniiitlon that the bill next session would meet a similar fate is regarded as reasonable. Since the government came in there 1ms been much correspondence and many representations;on Uie tariff but nil,these matters were deferred pending the creation of tlie commission witli Us Investigating functions.

They would pledge their land as security to the government and repay the loan In 20 years, with Interest, together with taxes on increased value of the dra inetl I. The government sent an engineer to report on the practicability of scheme. The engineer found a maximum fall of 14 feet In the meadow. The land to be reclaimed Is a rich al leu vial deposit which Meadow eek has borne down from the mountains during centuries. It lies like a billiard table and one could not find a stone the size of a hen's egg on a quarter section of it. A pole could he pushed down 10 feet into the rich : block soil. For years the rank vegetation has grown up In the summer and resolved Itself into soil. In fact, the land is too valuable nn asset for even a rich country like British Co- Iiimbla to neglect. Drained, the land is worth $300 an acre, but at present is not fit for vegetable crops and Is listed for a cattle range. A ditching machine In use at Calgary was brought to the notice of the farmers and they ure trying to arrange to have it brought here to try it. But the scheme is one requiring capital and none of these farmers are capitalists. Dr. Wolverton of Nelson, although he owns none of the land and will only derive indirect benefit from its improvement, Is lending his influence towards having the work done, as nre others In Nelson and Kaslo. The quarry at Mai'blehead Is employing a force of seven men at present and is developing Its proposition by a tunnel and is prospecting It with a diamond drill, The result of the investigation thus far shows thnt the farther in they get the bettor the marble becomes.

THE CHICKEN—This remarkable fowl has the strange quality of reincarnation In large cities. In Its living state it may have been a coot, a mud hen, or one of the small varieties of crane; but once cooked and served with the proper dressing and garnishment In any of our leading hotels or restaurants It becomes a chicken and .is eagerly devoured and lavishly paid for by our leading citizens. The chicken used to be a common article of food, cheap as beet shank, now very rare; used only by the very wealthy families. Its eggs were common years ago, now used ns ornaments Instead of pearls. The chicken's name is to be -•hanged by the government to Sir Chicken, giving it more tone, The eggs are to be called De Eggs, This Bird of a Sale will make chicken as a food open to many families who have not tasted It for years.

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills Purity the Blood and Prolong Uie If as much intelligent care were given to keeping the body clean and pure within as well as without we would sec more healthy, vigorousold men and women. The daily bath docs its part by keeping the pores of the skin open so that they throw off much ofthebody'simpuri- ties, but it is even more important that the bowels and kidneys should be kept regular and active. If the bowels fail, is they often do late in life,' to move regularly at least once a day, the waste matter from the food accumulates, decays, poisons the system and upsets the stomach. If the kidneys are sluggish the impurities which they should filter from the blood remain and cause rheumatism. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills regulate the bowels, stimulate (lie kidneys and open up the pores of the skin. The result is a body clean within—pure, red blood—good digestion—and a hale and hearty old age. Three generations have proved the value of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills, and their sale is steadily increasing al] over the world. 25c. at all dealers* or from W, H.

Ben Brain, who was the champion before Mendozn, died In 1794, and Mendoza waB the only fighter in sight fit to wear the belt Ben had left vacant, so to Bpeak. So the bugs elected him champion by acclamation. Like Atteli, Mendoza won his fights by cleverness rather than the rough work, In those bare fist days rough and tumble, foul blows, gouges and hair-pulling were the rule, but Mendozn didn't indulge in such practices. A huge human mastodon called Harry the Coal Heaver was Mendoza's first victim. Although the fuel heaving party was a third bigger than the Jew he didn't stand a chance to win. Dick Humphries was another big fellow who contested Menclozn's right to the title. They met three times, nnd the first two fights were 'boss and hoss,' but In the third Mendoza won all the way. Despite the racial hatred that was rife In those days, the champion, became a great favorite with tlie fans. The game was then in its infancy, and, until Mendoza appeared on the scene, the scrappers might as well have had no heads for all the use they put 'em to in following their trade. Mendoza may be said to be the father of scientific pugilism, and lis such lie deserves a monument."

Hebrews make mighty good boxers, but there have been few who have been real pugilists, in the old- lime bare-knuckle sense of the word. The exception was an English .lew, Daniel Mendoza, who was the first of his nationality to take up fighting as a trade. It will be just 117 years ago Monday since Mendoza lost the championship to John Jackson. What's that? ISfo, I wasn't there.

PRIESTS AND PROPHETS There is a fundamental distinction between tlie prophet and the priest. It is tlie prophet who flashes new truths upon humanity and deepens the conscience of mankind; the priests conserves and guards, not always too faithfully, not always as loyal to spirit as to the word, the work of the prophet. It is (tie prophet Who creates the new atmosphere; it Is the priest who endeavors to save It from dissipation. From llie nnturo of the case a church Is primarily an organization of priests; prophets do not lend themselves to organization. We cannot, therefore, expect the churches to be dynamic originating forces. What we can expect of them, however, is that when the true prophet comes they shall be ready to receive his message and spread it through the world. They may bo deficient in originating new movements but thoy have immense power to retard or to hasten them; Therein lies the key to their duty. WORLD'S RECORD CANVASS (Ry Dally News Leased Wire.)

"It is worse than its predecessors for It Is more complex than either. Gladstone's first bill is crudely simple In comparison. Mr. Asquith's Is equally dangerous, quite as inequitable and so clogged and hampered by the involution of Imperial and local authority that It must break down In hopeless confusion. "Human ingenuity could diardiy have conceived a project more likely to embitter the relations between two portions of the kingdom or tu weaken and humiliate one without producing the smallest benefit to the other." Disorderly Scurrility, The Manchester Guardian (Liberal) says, in part: "There is un obvious lesson to be drawn from the fact that while the home rule hill was introduced by the premier and discussed by his supporters with the seriousness and dignity exacted of British politicians engaged in such a task, it was received by the Ulster party in a spirit of frivolous- ness which bordered more than once on disorderly scurrility. The cables will place vivid pictures of Ibis contrast In temper and demeanor before the readers in every part of the empire and will strengthen the expressed conviction of nil the self-governing dominions that our past delay In giving to Ireland what they already enjoy has been hurtful to the possessors as well as to the victims of minority ascendancy." Fantastic Finance. | The Dally Mall (Unionist), in an editorial says: "The finance of the bill Is extraordinary, even fantastical. The EngiljU taxpayer is to make over a suirhd about £2,000,000 for purely Jris'^y purely local expenditure.

I could Scarcely do my lions,-work 'luring my menstrual period, and for two months nr more I was never free fmm pain in the womb and ovaries. The pain would run down tho groin, so I would frequently nearly double up. Then tbe pain began going up tho back of my neck to my brain until I hardly kriow what I was doing at times. Life was a burden Indeed. 1 finally could endure h no longer, so went to our leading town doctor and had an examination. Tie pronounced It (1 forget the word) a rigid comlltion of the generative organs, produced hy repented attacks of Inflammation. He said I would have to take a course of treatment, and if that failed to overcome tho rlald condition I might. In lime, be compelled to havo the ovaries removed, I objected lo that, so filled out Pr Cnoaley's symptom blank and forwarded ft lo film, and he diagnosed the disease llie same as my local doctor, so I decided to take Pr Co onlay's Trent mint. I have used two jars of Cerate Massage, two packages of Herbal Womb Tonic nnd six boxes of Orange Lily, It Is eight months since I began Hie treatment, but I feel like a new woman. I work right through everything now Hardly know a pain, even during menstruation now. I often sayi "T would not take ?inn nnd be iu Ihe state that T was last March," I feel that Pr.

The Nelson improvement association is ready to supply at an extremely low price shrubs and bushes, and I feel sure they will even go further if the citizens show in interest in this noble work. There is no reason whatever why Nelson should not be known as "the Flower City" the world over, and this can be attained if a combined effort Is put forth. It Is proposed to make the f rat week in July "Rose Carnival" week. When we are at It, make it a memorable one. Ample cash prizes ihould be offered as un inducement for the best displays, and for all beautifying efforts,- as well ns those already offered for best gardens.

She was the founder of the Victoria college, Belfast, one of the most successful ladles' educational establishments In Ireland. Mrs. Bpyers was the mother of Sir John Boyers, the leading Belfast surgeon. She was a member of the senate of the royal university, who conferred the honorary degree of LL.D. Miss Lottie Annable Is at present confined to her home through illness. To Miss S. C. Harrison belongs the distinction of being the first woman member of the municipal council of the city of Dublin. One day recently a number of Miss Harrison's friends met at her house in Harcourt street to present her with an address, and an official robe, in honor of her election. Mrs. Haslam said that for the first time In the history of Ireland a woman had been elected upon the corporation of the city of Dublin, one of the most Important bodies existing BABY'S LITTLE ILLS Baby's little Ills are many and need -c'Jose -attention. Worms are among the most common of these ailments — there being scarcely a child who is not afflicted by them at some time or other. These, though, can be readily banished by the frequent use of Baby's Own Tablets— the only remedy sold under the guarantee of a government analyst to contain no opiate or other harmful drug. Concerning them Mrs. Jos. Dalgle, Sto, Perpetue, Que., writes: "My baby was troubled with worms; he was nervous and had no appetite. I gave him Baby's Own Tablets and he was soon well again," The Tablets are sold by medi- c'ne dealers or by mall at 25 cents a box from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.. Brockvllle, Ont. ^towering pyramids Uny bonnets are i plumes at the Foulards jn .lovely shades of blue and rose are to be much in favor for the one-piece gown so practical for spring wear. Since the disappearance of the Mona Lisa from the Louvrp Mona Lisa belts, bags and other belongings are springing up like mushrooms on every hand. A new notion Is the Mona Lisa waist, built of fine lawn, with insertions of Val. lace, pin tuckings nnd tiny crochet buttons added in modish style. The feature of the blouse is a removable peplum, which, when desired, may be adjusted under a shorter peplum of Venice lace which finishes the blouse at the waist line. HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS To remove grease Bpots from wall paper, sprinkle a piece of blotting paper with baking soda and hold it. The blotting paper will absorb the grease and the soda prevents Injury to tho colors of the wall paper. *' * * Steel knives that are not in general use can be kept from rusting If they are dipped In a strong solution of soda. • • • Heat your plates before putting: hot pies on them when first taken from the oven. The hot pies on cold plates cause a sweat that makes soggy un- dercrust. » * * When you are picking beans, or In fact any kind of dry fruit, you will find that it makes your work considerably lighter to put the fruit to be picked into a colander. The finer dust and chaff will go through and save you the trouble of picking it out and the danger of having it stay in. • * • Ordinary wall papers may he cleaned with a soft clean flannel flipped in fine oumeal. • • i To prevent old potatoes from getting black put one or two tablespoon- fills of milk Into the water in which they aro boiled. . • • * To keep blue clothes from fading, add blueing to the starch. • * • An old-fashioned Irish stew Is much improved by, adding some stuffed olives, a dash of paprika and leaspaonful of minced parBley Just before serving. • * * A pair of scissors take the rind from ham or bacon better than a knife does, After a bottle of glue has been opened rub a little fat of some kind around a sound cork before Inserting it in the bottle, and the cork will pull out easily. The fat excludes the air. Glass stoppers should be treated the same way, • * • Curtains stretch when hung up by the edge. Try hanging them double over the line.

A d'stlngulshed visitor to Nelson will arrive on this evening's coast train In the person of Miss S. Isabel Hatch. At the accession of King deorge this lady received from the governor general of India the Kateer- I-HInd sliver medal in recognition of her many years of work among the lepers of the Teluga district. Miss Hatch Is the first woman to receive {his decoration from the British government. Just before sailing for home she was presented with a solid gold medal "From (he Public of Rairiachan- drapuram," with l)er name and the dates' "1895-1911' on the face side, as a recognition of her valued service to the country. M:ss Hatch Is the superintendent of the Ramachandrapuram leper asylum. She Is now home for a year's rest and will be the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Wolverton while In Nelson. Dr. Wolverton was principal of Woodstock college, Ontario, when MIsb Hatch studied there in preparation for her llfework. The story of how this missionary became interested In the lepers of India and their redemption Is an Interesting one, Her attention was first called to those wretched and hopeless people In 1895. In her itineraries she continually met lepers In various stages of the disease, from the all hut spotless and unrecognized leper to the wretched limbless victims of the terrible disense. In one place she discovered her millcman to be a leper, and later on her waterman, who helped to wash dishes anil attend to other household duties proved to he a leper. Hosts at others besideB herself were living in those unsafe conditions, while the situation appealed to her strongly from Ihe standpoint of the lepers, many of them In n pitiable condition. Miss Hatch, confronted with great obstacles, but with a supreme faith and courage, soon had the joy of opening a leper mission and later founding the Dr. Kelloek Home for Lepers, In memory of the lute Dr. Kelloek of Perth, Ontario, whose widow gave the bulk of the money with which to furnish the work, Under Miss Hatch's high Ideals nnd wise guldnnce, steady progress has been made. There are now three compounds, splendidly equipped with hospital, dispensary, chapel Willi homes, one for mnle lepers, one for the women, and one for un- lulnted children. To this refuge no leper sufferer Is denied admittance so long as there Is room. All leperB of India are outcasts in the eyes of society, no matter if they are of the high cast class by right of birth and station before contracting the disease. Mrs. Richard Elliott died nt Dyer's Boy, on the peninsula, recently, at the age of 100 years nnd 20 days. The old lady retained her mental faculties an to the end.
