NELSON. B. C. SATURDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 7, 1914 AT i War Office Always Adopting Fads, Says Minister I CRITICISM OF LABOR DEPARTMENT Nanaimo Strike Subject of Acrimonious Debate in Commons. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, Teh; fl,—Two questions engaged the attention 0f the commons to tbe exclusion oi! other topics throughout a long slUIng—the dispute with.the National Rifle association of Great Britain over the Ross rifle and the Nanaimo strike. The first mentioned was soon disposed of. but the latter went on for hour after hour. ! B. M. Macdonald Introduced the Ross rifle discussion hi a brief speech, in which he expressed the hope that the minister of militia would adhere to his determination not to send a team to Great Britain until the war office ruling against aperture sights Is withdrawn. Hon. Sam Hughes in emphatic language said that be did not propose to do so. The new regulations, he said, were aimed at the Canadian arm because it was a superior weauon, the Lee-Enfield rifle being obsolete, The minister said that the war office was always adopting fads and the new figure targets was one of them. Major Sam Sharpe mildly criticized the minister for his proposed action, while F. B. Carvell strongly approved. He-said that the minister had been too magnanimous In o.-erlng to supply the British marksmen with the Ross rifle. < The Nanaimo strike trouble was brought up when the estimates for the department of labor came up. F. B. Carvell led off the opposition attack on the minister, charging him wlthiincompetence and neglect in dealing with this matter. He said that the report made by Commissioner Price was cut off the day the rioting commenced; that the situation waa glossed over In the Labor Gazette, and the minister, the Labor Gazette and everybody concerned should go, Mr. Crothers replied with heat. He \ said Mr. Price had returned from tho west [before the trouble .occurred and made his report before tihe minister's departure -for England. The minister reviewed the whole matter and-said every possible effort had been made to bring the miners and ihe employers together, but tbe difficulty was a particularly hard matter to deal with because neither side would admit that there was a strike. The-debate, which was at times somewhat acrimonious, was . continued by Messrs. Carroll, 1 Shepherd, Buchanan, Stevens,. Macdon- ' aid, Neely and others, Sir Wilfrid in closing the discussion said he was going to move for all papers mid re"- \ ords In connection with the ease, ~*f* Intimated that be proposed to deal , specifically with the whole administration of the labor department under Mr. CrothorB. At tlie suggestion of Hon. Robert ^Rogers, who was leading the house, Sir Wilfrid agreed to postpone his comments until a later sitting. Mean- ; while the labor department estimates l stand over. The dispute between the National Riflo association of Great Britain and those responsible for the sending of Bisley teams to England was raised In the house by E. M. Macdonald, Pic- tou, who referred to the report that , the men who had won their places.in the Dominion Rifle association competitions last year might not go across , the Atlantic this year. Mr. Macdon- j aid said that the interest evoked In rifle shooting In this country had been j great and Canadians would like to , see the.past successes of their team maintained. The National Rifle as- j sociatlon- was not for Great Britain alone, but for the dominions as well, I yet in the past there" had been what Mr, Macdonald termed* "pin pricks" j at the riflemen of'Canada using the i Ross rifle, tbe national weapon. In the past this had brought vigorous action by -the Canadian authorities and I had resulted In recognition by the Na- I tlonal Rifle association of the right I to use the Rosb rifle ln competitions. I The chief question at Issue was concerned 'With the use of the aperture [ sight. This had been adopted in Can- j'ada, was to become a part of the new 1 British rifle, not yet Issued, nnd Its J use in the United -States was also | permanent. But In England recently the war office had Intimated to the National Rifle association that In certain competitions, the King's prize, ■ for example, the aperture sight could j not be used. What was to be tbo at- I tltude of the Canadian militia department? Were Canadians to be com- j polled to compete under adverse con- ; dltions after being trained with this weapon or would the minister stand by the rifle which had been proven ) complete and satisfactory in every particular? Hon. Sam Hughes in reply said this ! matter bad been engaging his attention (or some weeks. He would like at the outset to draw the attention of the house to the fact that the Na- GIVE BALLOT FOR EVERY BABY Woman Makes Suggestion—Nelaon League Sends Another Message— "No Babies No Ballot" nu, r*nijv **.>.%„ t,ei"-ed Wir'O OTTAWA, Feb. fi.—E., X.

(Bv Dally News tiensed Wire) PARIS, Feb. fl.—at. Duroquicr, an electrician, declares lie ''as reason to believe that wireless waves bave been responsible for several recent catastrophes, notably the burning ot sea or the Uranium liner Volturno, the Cardiff mine disaster and tbe destruction of the French battleship Liberte at Toulon. He says -that experiments mado by him. In his laboratory in the province of Tourame, which la situated about midway between the Eiffel tower and tbo Rochefort -wireless stations, show .that whenever the two stations are sending simultaneously an inexplicable phenomena is produced at the intersection of tho waves. Two glass -globes filled with inflammable gas, he says, were exploded by th© disturbance, although they were not connected with the antennae of his apparatus. He points out that the spot ln tho ocean where the Volturno caught fire was exactly In the zone of the Intersection of wireless .waves from the Glace bay and Paris stations; Ithe Cardiff explosion between Paris and Cllfden, and the Llberte between the Paris and Bart- lett 'stations, DRASTIC REFORMS IN SALE OF LIQUOR May Not Be Sold in Government Office, in Russia—Early Closing Provided.

(Western .Associated Press Special Cable.) LONDON, Feb. 6.—While there Is no outward indication that Lord Gladstone is anxious to retire from the post of governor-general of the Union of South Africa, there aro rumors in poliltlcal circles that bo will shortly do so and will he succeeded by Right Hon. Sidney Buxton, now president of tbe board of trade. In that case, G, F, Masterman, now financial secretary to tho treasury, will become the head of the board of trade and there may be other -shuffles among the minor members. If Mr. Buxton should go to South Africa he would be given a peerage. Profit to Bootle. Further Interest in the negotiations between Baron de Forest, M.P.j and the Earl of Derby in the purchase by the former of ..the'tatter's estates at Bootle, near Liverpool, is given in the baron's announcement that if the transaction goes through he will donate the profit from the unearned Increment to the town of Bootle. Whatever may bo the result of the negotiations it Is certain that thG taxation of land values will receive added impetus. By-Elections Interesting The announcement that Munro-Fer- guson had been appointed governor- general of the Australian commonwealth, involving u parliamentary by- election for the Leith Burghs, is accompanied In political circles with the prediction that this election will bo coincident with two by-eleetlons in London in connection with the granting of a peerage to Sidney Buxton, now M. P. for Poplar, as governor- general of South Africa, and of tin appointment of C. F. G. Masterman now secretary to the treasury and M. P. for South-West Bethnal Green, as his successor as ■ president of the board of trade. The contests would afford interesting revclatlohs of public opinion, as both the Ireland and Labor issues are now before the public In* Leith. The Liberal majority In the last election was just under 1,800 and the constituency has been Libert".} since 1886. In Poplar, which is a strong-Labor constituency, tho Liberal majority was only 629, while ln Southwest Bethnal Green the Liberal majority was only 184, with a Socialist vote of 134. If the Labor discontent over the South African happenings amounts to anything, the government will have trouble holding the last two seats and even In Leith the- Labor vote can cause considerable trouble. It looks now as If these three by- elections might be brought on for tlie purpose of testing public opinion in Scotland and Iii London before the final tussle over home rule and the other issues which have to be grappled with at the session which opens on Tuesday next. The Daily'Chronicle (Liberal) confirms the appointment of Mr. Munro- Ferguson to Australia nnd suggests that Mr. Buxton will go to South Africa, and tills view Is now accepted generally, although no really official announcement as to the latter has been made. The Daily Citizen, the Labor organ, claims to bave knowledge that Lord Gladstone actually resigned after the Rand riots In July, when the employment of Imperial troops to cower the strikers raised such a storm of protest, but that the acceptance of his resignation was held over In the hope that the storm would blow over, with tho result that the events of .lununry compelled the acceptance of the resignation. Bishop ^Arrives The arrival in London last night of the Bishop of Zanzibar has revived interest in the Klkiyu controversy which for somo weeks past has threatened to disrupt the church of England over the right of bishops of thc Anglican church to administer the sacrament of holy communion to people who have not been ■confirmed according to tbo rubrics of thc church of England. The Bishop of Ziinzl- bar arrived quietly and wns met at the station only by Die Bishop of Nynssa nnd a few personal friends. He declined to make any statement to tho press, but It is understood be will take the earliest opportunity of conferring with the Archlblshop of Canterbury, who has reserved his Judgment on tho Issues Involved until lte has heard both sides. The Bishop, of .Uganda has been In London for some time and has fully explained bis position to the primate. The Bishop of Mombaesa Is expected shortly, and even now there nre hopes that an entente will, bo reported, which will avoid the ecclestlcal crisis which appeared so likely a few woeks since, and which wns fanned Into the (lame of controversy hy columns of letters In the newspapers', Ireland At Pawn John Redmond, Irish leader, In a Sylvia Pankhurst Resigns From Organization— Christobel Wishes to Take Command. (^y Dally News Leased Wlrc- bONDON, Feb. 6.—Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, daughter of the militant suffrage leader, today announced her resignation from the Woman's Social and Poliltlcal union, the militant women's organization. Her east end of London federation, which hitherto has been a branch of the parent organization, will henceforth be entirely independent. The rift among tho militant suffragettes is saM to be due to Miss Sylvia Rankhurst's ultra revolutionary aspirations, which tbe leaders of the Women's Sociul anil Political union aro ■beginning to believe tire damaging their cause. Re porta of dissensions in th0 Inner circles, of the militant organization have been In circulation for some time. According lo these Christobel Paiikliinsi is anxious to end her.long -exile in Paris and return to London t*> tako control oi the organization, >rdr it is doubtful if her mother, Mrs. Emraellne Pankhurst, wnb is still in 'Switzerland, will be well enough for some -months to resume her arduous duties of commander in chief. But Christobel, the; reports bave It, desires to come'back under conditions that will not necessitate frequent terms of Imprisonment for her under .the cat and mouse act, Therefore, ills said, she wants militancy dropped, In this stand she has tbe support of many of the older members of the organization. Sylvia Pankhurst, on the other hand, Is not prepared to abandon militancy until she has fully tested the fiejbtlng capacity of her "people's army," which she organized in the east end of -London and.with which she is credited aa believing she can start a revolution which will enforce the government to enfraneblse women. Several of the younger and more ambitious' members of the Women's Social and Political union view with unconcealed satisfaction the Pank- buret feud, believing that it will end tho auotcratic sway the Pankhursts have exercised over the society since Mr. and Mrs. Frederick PeUhlck Law- rance were driven out of it last year. Among the grievances of the Women's Sociial and Political union against Sylvia Pankhurst's new federation is the complete disregard of Christobel Pankhurst's instructions that the union must be kept absolutely independent of all political Varies. * The people's army, which advocates a no-rent strike as a means toward obtaining tbe vote for women, lias worked in close association with Socialists and Labor leaders, notably George Lansbury, (formerly Socialist member of parliament. Also Instead of following' the policy of the union of excluding men' from membership, Sylvia welcomes both sides to her federation. Henceforth Sylvia's organization will be styled tho EnBt London Federation of Suffragettes. ■§ NO CLEMENCY FOR RIOTOUS MINERS * (Special to The Dailv News) «> VICTORIA,. B.

Booklet on request, Six million feet of logs will next spring and summer glide down to tlie Little Slocan river along the big flume on Robson creek, which has been built by W. C. B. Koch, the well- known lumberman, to solve the problem of bringing out the timber from comparatively Inaccessible sections ln the mountains; That the use of siicti flumes will revolutionize logging operations in the mountainous districts of this continent Is the opinion of lumbermen who bave studied the question. Through Canyons, Rock and Swamp. Constructed at an expense or |2i),- 000 the flume is regarded as a triumph of engineering over exceptional difficulties. Over vast canyons, through rock which had to be blasted In order to secure a grade, over swamp land where piles had to be driven to support tlie flume, tlie work was carried to completion and a trial before frost cut off the water supply proved that the undertaking was a success. Newly one and a quarter miles in length, the flume Is V-shaped, and except for the first 500 ft. the sides nre four feet in depth. Along this flume, without any expenditure of labor except that of starting the timber at the upper end, the logs will rush down a grade of from 1 to 17 per cent, until they are tumped into the Little Slocan river, whence they will bo run down to Mr. Koch's mill. Such flumes will, it lis believed make tho logging of timber In many places in British Columbia which are at present regarded as Inaccessible, a business proposition and will add to the value of many limits from which tho timber could be taken out only by means of a logging railroad or some other system costly in maintenance and operation. Valuable to Mines. For bringing down timber to mines Mr. Koch believes that this style jjf flume will prove valuable, as it would provide also a supply of water to operate machinery, such ns mills and compressor plants In places where there is a shortage of power in tlii vicinity of the mine, but where water Is available in the timbered regions above. Lumbermen and state, provincial and federal government forestry departments in tihe United States anil Canada bave requested Mr. Koch to supply Information regarding lhe construction of the flume and the success and economy, of its operation. RETREAT WITH HONOR IMPOSSIBLE FOR PRESIDENT (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Feb. 6.—While "respect for his high character and fine Ideals" moves the Globo to wish. President Wilson well out of his troubles in connection with Mexico, Peru nnd Hayti, whose "blood-stained administrations" challenge the president's policy of non-recognition, It considers his position impracticable. The newspaper continues: "The expedient of sanctioning and supporting civil war in a neighboring state is a declaration of war In a form which can hardly be reconciled with the comity of nations. "Tbe danger of the situation from the point of view of the United States is that there Is no retreat with honor from the uncompromising if impracticable position which President Wilson has taken."

NAME INSPECTOR Of MUNICIPALITIES Power to Hold Public Enquiry Into Civic Affairs, WILL PASS ON ALL DEBENTURES CONCESSIONS WILL BE MADE TO ULSTER People of Great Britain Apathetic— Issue Regarded As Relic of Victorian Era (Canadian Associated Press Cable.) LONDON", Feb. 6.—Exactly three months ago thc Canadian Associated Press cabled regarding tho Irish question as follows: "Thc opinion Is growing among politicians of tho quiet sort who do not go to meetings and are not impressed hy partisan writings that no real developments will happen until parliament opens." Events bave shown that Ibis was thoroughly well grounded. Miner orators and journalists on both sides have fulminated at full pitch during the Intervening period, but tho coital, or as some would perhaps have It, the apathy, of tbe average body at electors has not been gravely disturbed. Everybody knows tiiat the feeling in Ulster is intense, tut the real truth Is that the greater section of tbe folk of other parts of the kingdom regard home rule as a political issue of the Victorian period, which ought to have been settled 0110 way or the other a generation ago. Parliament reassembles on Tuesday nnd the probability is that Premier Asqulth will make on important declaration on the Irish question In tho course of the week and there Is reason to believe that it will comprise substantial concessions to Ulster without agreeing In any way to the exclusion of the province from the bill. Certain it is, too, that whatever is offered will not meet with ready acceptance from the Unionists, but there Is good ground for believing that there are certain sections of tbe Unionist [>arty Who regard Sir Edward Carson's campaign ln Ulster not altogether with complacency, and especially as thero has been no unmlstakeable demonstration of warm-hearted approval for It in lSngland. The Unionist party leaders have been meeting ns usual this week, but they are naturally unable to decide upon their future actions until they know what Is In Premier Asqiilth's mind. <& . 3> $ PARCEL POST WILL BE * § INAUGURATED TUESDAY © «S> (Bv Dally Nows Leased Wire) <$* OTTAWA, Feb. 6.—Oh Tues- f >$> day morning a mall carrier will <r go from the post office to Ri- ♦ •$> doau hall with a mail bag from @ <$> Hon.

""> Bylaws Regulating Sale of Food May Be Passed Under New Act, (Special to The -Oallv News.) VICTORIA, B. C, <F"eb. 6.—The municipal act, based upon the findings of the fey.il commission on municipal government, which made Its report to the last session of the legislature, was Introducftd today by Hon. W. J. Bowser. It augurates a new departuro In municipal procedure In British Columbia, providing for supervision of all municipal matters by an Inspector appointed by a municipal department of the government. This Inspector of municipalities, whose office will be attached to the attorney-general's department, will have power to hold a public inquiry into any of the business of a municipality and his findings, upon the approval of the lieutenant-governor In council, shall bo binding on tho officials of such municipality. Under the proposed bill any municipality may submit money by-laws to the Inspector for approval and before issuing debentures must submit both tbo balance and debentures to him for approval. His certificate of approval shall be considered conclusive evidence of the validity of the by-law or debentures in all courts of tbo province. Another of the duties of the inspector of municipalities will be the standardization of a system of municipal bookkeeping, especially with regard to issuing of debentures, Btock and treasury eertifiea'tes: The result of this proposal will be that all accounts of municipalities will bo Intelligible to the citizens who take an Interest In their local municipal .affairs. The inspector is also empowered to Inquire into the management of sinking funds and bis duties shall extend to (lie books and accounts of the board of school trustees. "Wo feel that In bringing down these clauses wo shall be doing something towards preventing municipalities from indulging fn what may be termed municipal luxury," said Mr. Bowser. Another Important feature of the aot Is the voluntary establishment of it board of control In cities having a population of 15,000 or more on the vote of throe-fourths of the members of the council. The establishment of this board of control, which ls optional will vest the affairs of government In a board composed of the mayor or reeve of a municipality and two comptrollers, who shall be nominated and elected from llie city at large. ■Under this plan the public school board, the commissioners of police and other governing boards will report to the board of control and submit their yearly estimates to them. An important feature of the act Is the appointment of police magistrates by tho lieutenant-governor in -council^ who shall continue such office during his pleasure and he shall have the power of cancelling. This power has always existed in regard to city municipalities. but Is now extended to district municipalities, the lieutenant-governor in council having the exclusive power of ppointmont in the future. , District municipalities shall have a board of commissioners, consisting of lho mayor and two appointees of the lieutenant-governor) in council similar to the constitution of these boards in the cities. Tbe lieutenant-governor in council may direct the superintendent of police to lake charge of tho police of any municipality, in which case the municipal police shall act under the direction of the provincial superintendent of police. The attorney-general referred to instances which had occurred in British Columbia In recent years where the lack of this power lias led to considerable confusion. The board of license, commissioners in district municipalities will also be constituted the same as In cities. Dealing with the question of municipal control of public utilities, no municipality shall bo allowed to undertake work of this kind without the approval of the lieutenant-governor in council. Provision Is made for the appointment by the lieutenant- governor In council of an auditor for every municipality in which an offljer hasnol been appointed by the officials of that municipality. The power of referendum which (was granted to municipalities under the old act and which It is felt has been much abused during the last few years will bo curtailed under tho provisions of tho proposed act. Matters over which the municipal committee had no jurisdiction and which belong to the province of some other section of the civil government will not In future be submitted to the electorate. All the provisions with regard to local improvements which wero included In the old act have been eliminated-and a new act dealing solely with thia subject has been drafted. Power is conferred upon* the court of revision (Continued on page four.) fT PAGE TWO Cljt ©aity J#»* SATURDAY .....

The socond was that the multiplication of licenses be stopped pending a more settled state ot public feelingKon the liquor question. To this Sir Rotlmond replied that he concurred In the sentiment and thought it might be a good thing to confide to municipalities the power of deckling how many licenses should be issued within their limits. The final request was that early closing should be mnde to apply to bars as to other business houses. Sir Ilod- mond promised consideration of this request, but said he was not sure it was the right way to handle the problem. ANIMALS END LIVES Giraffe Latest to Cause Comment in Paris.

Was he not sufficiently admired? In the days of the Romanticists a giraffe was the talk of Paris, and the follow* ers of Hugo wrote passionately about the animal In exile, "the great anticlimax," as Thomas Hood called him, "so very lofty ln Its front, but so dwindling at the tall." English poets have preferred to speak of the giraffe as the camelopard, although Montgomery made a brave attempt and shortened the second syllable: "From rude Cafl'rarle where the giraffes browse With stately heads among the forest boughs." Perhaps this animal in Paris was tho subject of foolish jests and knew it. Phil Robinson, an amiable and entertaining writer, tried his hand nt the specfes: "For this skyraking animal, that passes all his- life, so tc speak, looking out of a fourth-storey window, that looks down Into the birds' nests as It browses, and seldom sees the ground except when it lie's down on it, ls about the best Intull- menit of the Impossible that has been vouchsafed to us."

Right from the start the''Marcus boys were outplayed at every department of ytlia ,game ami five minutes after the toss-up thero was nol the slightest doubt as to tho outcome., I Tlie"lilgh school boys showed a combination that would be hard to beat and. were always on the ball. There was system to their attack und their shooting never showed up to hotter ''advantage- than it dittt last night. Maurer and Glbbs on the forward line of the locals wore altogether too slippery ifor the opposing guards, while both Armbrister and Ntigle, wiia played at guard, despite holding their men very closely checked, were responsi- blj'for a great many of theilr team's noilits, Nagle scoring 20, eight field tfoala and four foul 'throws. ■ fbe Marcus boys played hard, but their strenuous tactics were i vain, for their -system did not stand the fast pace of the local high school boys.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7 for health. We breathe baked air all winter—we keep tbo windows shut to maintain a high degree of heal—we leaf an outside current of air when we are not clad for out-of-doors. It would be fur better to follow the English custom of dressing more heavily for the houso and weighing ourselves down with fewer outer garments when we go out. At all events, keep tbe window open. It prevents tuberculosis—It a''eviateB catarrh—it enriches the blood—it enlivens the spirits—it tones up the health—and It puts one in better form to resist tho -ittacks of disease. It Is the cheapest health receipt open to universal use. The window should be open more hours than the drug store. KEEP THE WINDOW OPEN. Thia is the season when it Is most necessary to preach the cult of tho open window, says the Montreal Star. Windows open themselves naturally In the summer. We all sigh then for coolrbreos*es which the high-flung sasn Invites. But It Is so easy In the win- tor to leave a window shut and keep out tlie cold. Yet this js precisely tha season when the house air is most dangerous. A window down at tbe top is seldom a draught-creator. This is a simple fact which many do not know, but a knowledge of which might lead hosts of timid people into lowering the window. Yet nothing draws oft , the stale air from a room like a window dropped an inch or two from tin top. It is far more effective thutt a window raised at th0 bottom. And it to the raised window which Hoods you with cold air and drives you to quickly shut it up. Air seems to bave little difficulty In getting into a house if you will make room for It. There are chinks at the doors which will let it in, once a vacuum is created inside by lotting tlio super-healed and foul air out at the top of a lowered window. The upper openings in a house appear t'i be hermetically sealed when they uru closed, while the lower openings fit loosely. This Is why a lowered window will draw plenty of fresh air into a room from elsewhere. One of the developments of modern dress seems to be to dress for a liot- houso winter atmosphere; and then to put on very heavy wraps to go out. The effect of this is, of course, that our houses are over-heated to keep us warm when we sit, inactive, with. on- outside garments laid off. This i about as bad a thing as we could do mn run or ITEMS Scratching Made it Pain so Badly Lost Many Nights' Sleep, Could Not Do Work at All. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured. Box tii)3.

I WHAT THE pRSSS IS SAYING « It Is one of tlie unsolved mysteries of politics why thc patronage list i; net abolished. H Is a curse to thi party in office and a temptation to the ono out of office.

P. R., and too little about thc enormous reward which be got from Canada for that service. There may bs something In this criticism.- It ls true that the C. P, R. made Lord strathcona a multimillionaire, nnd that Canada had to pay a high price for her first transcontinental railway. Hut it should be considered also that the men who undertook to build the tad for the reward offered were men regarded at the time hy most people .is half-cracked visionaries who were sure to go bankrupt.

Here is her entry for February 7, 17DU; "At 7 o'clock the kitchen chimney was on fire. It was soon extinguished, as the people here are experts at using fire engines. The houses being covered witli shingle (wood i" the shape of tiles), fires spread rapidly if not immediately put out." It seems to have been a peculiarly unfortunate day lor such a domestic misadventure, for guests, in. eluding his royal highness Prince *^d ward, afterwards Duke of Kent, and Gen, Clarke, were to dine with Col Simcoe, Apparently it was to be a men's dinner, for Mrs. Simcoe calmly records "this accident retarded the dinner, so I went to bed before the dinner." Cudiscouraged, tbe Slmcoefl gave another dinner party two days later, and went afterwards "tu the assembly, where an account, was brought of our house being burnt down. Col. Simcoe went homo und found It only the chimney on fire" as before, and did not think it worth disturbing Mrs. Simcoe about the matter, "though an officious man afterwards assured" her that he would have told her had he known it. COLO STORAGE Why owe any one a grudge when we can pay as we go? The silent, watches of the night— those we forget to wind. I'nlcss a man possesses self-control be Is little better than a slave. WhetTYospect departs love pucks its grip and hikes. When a woman expresses a wish her husband pays tbe express charges. It's baid to convince a man that he ought to work when he doesn't hnve to. Even tlie chap who is pot ambitious to become a millionaire would like to ho rich enough to tell the boss just what he thinks of him. v Most, of the golden opportunities offered you will not stand the acid test.

In seven short-years, "Fruit-a-tives" has become the most famous and the most widely used medicine in Canada that has ever been introduced to tlie people of the Dominion. Even those who take "Fruit-a-tives" regularly and recommend these famous fruit juice tablets to their friends, probably have no idea of the enormous number of "Fruit- a-tives" that are being used by those wishing to regain their health. Last year, over eight thousand gross boxes of "Fruit-a-tives" were sold. As there are one hundred, forty four boxes in a gross, this means that over one million one hundred thousand boxes were sold in 1912. And this year, this number will be still further increased. This means a box. of "Fruit-a-tives" for every six persons in Canada, or. six tablets for every man, woman and child in the country. "Frnit-a-tives" are sold in every section of the Dominion. On the rugged Atlantic coast, throughout the Maritime Provinces, among the French iu Quebec and the English iu Ontario, all over the great Prairie Provinces and on the shores of the Pacific, "Fruit-a-tives" is the best selling medicine iu stock. This is true because "Fruit-a-lives" gives results. For chronic Constipation, Indigestion and Stomach Trouble—for bad Blood, Skin Eruptioua and Eczema—for Rheumatism, Sciatica aud Lumbago—for Kidney, Bladder aud Urinary Troubles—"Fruit-a-tives" cures when nothing else will. In the bend office in Ottawa, are hundreds of letters aud photographs from graceful men and women who hnve been cured of sicknesB and suffering by "Fruit-a-tives." Many of these letters and photographs have beeu published by permission and have induced other sufferers to try "Fmit-a-tives."

Dr. Odllon Lecler-a gave the moslt important news of the evening. He said timt after getting some preliminary Information, bo made a thoroueh examination of Mr. Mousseatt's nervous and organic system. Tht. result of hitt diagnosis was that the patient could not under any circumstances whatever appear before the committee or be subject to examination at bis own home. It was extremely difficult to make him articulate and the must he could do was apparently to babble wben some one whose voice he recognized asked him some simple question, hut anyone who did not know him well could hardly make out what he was saying. Asked as to whether he considered Mr, Moussenu's condition really serious, tho witness said that the case was subject to numerous features which he did not care to enumerate before the committee. Recovery was (|iiit(. possible, ihut, on the other baud, the patient might remain the aame indefinitely. LAKEVIEW — K. MaeQuiie Grand Forks; T. Turners, A. Clark, W. Beck, John Andrews.

Mrjr. tlonal Rlfle association of Great Brit, aln was formed during tho reign of Queen Victoria to encourage rifle shooting throughout the dominions. Under the charter granted militia volunteers throughout tbo empire are tree to compete. , He next drew attention to the fact that in recent years Great Britain has made but little progress in the development of her national arm. In Canada tbe Rosa rifle had been produced. The Canadians bad complied with the British rifle in regard both to the ubo of obsolete ammunition and the ring cartridge, but they had declined to use their obsolete rifle and sight. The Lee-Enfield rifle, he said, was no longer a first- class arm to place in the bands of soldiers in the field. On the other hand, the Ross rifle wns admitted to be the bes* arm In existence. Coming to the question of sights, tho minister quoted a letter published recently by Mni. Hart McHarg, probably the best rifle shot In the world, strongly approving of the aperture sight. He had stated thatthe old style forward and back sight constituted a triple alignment which was hard on the eyes. He also quoted Major Richardson, a famous British shot, as stating that (ho United States team won tbo Olympic contest in Sweden because they were able on account of the aperture sight to- shoot twice as fast and better than the British team. Col. Hughes -went on to say that while the National Rifle association was only informally a part ot tho war office, it was more or less at the mercy of the military authorities. The war office, he said, had always adopted fads, and their latest was a field service target, a fad which Ib dvtng out. The war office had coerced' the National Rifle association into using them, and had made regulalions providing that no rifle but such as aro equipped- with open sights can be used in many of the big matches at Bisley, Including the contest for the King's prize. The gentlemen who framed this regulation, ho said, must know that It means we must eltliej- use the obsolete Lee-Enfield rifle or abandon tbe field. "So far as I am concerned, no volunteer will leave these shores under any such handicap," declared the minister. Col, Sughes went on to tell the house that for four years tbe British war office had been trying to get out an improved rifle. He had learned the details of this rifle when in Washington and also In Germany, but when he went to the war office he Was referred to some subordinate officials. "I declined to go around to any back door stairway to get this information," said the minister. Col. Hughes next read from reports of the war office statements admitting that the aperture sight is superior to tho oyeu sight. One point of superiority is that tho old sight causeB a blur in sight because of the triple alignment of fore and back sight. Col. Hughes said that he had offered to loan tbo war office a sufficient number of rifles to supply all the marksmen. This would give the war office an opportunity to get a move on nnd provide an up-to-date sight. There was no need of this, however, becauBe aperture sights could be provided for tlio I.ee-Knfield rifle. He repeated that tho only object of the ruling Is to exclude the Ross rifle from BiBley or to force Canadians to tl8e an open sight, "Why Bhould Canadian volunteers bow to such a ruling?" lie asked. Continuing, "The aperture sight is now a part and parcel of tile Ross rifle and I propose to stick to IL" P. B. Carvel, Carleton, congratulated the minister of militia on tho stand ho bad taken. In regard to the Ross rifle Col. Hughes bad made no chanuc In front in years. He had stood by the rifle when it had taken considerable courage to do so. In the end, he would win out because he wns right. Mr. Carvell said that while bo did not approve of the minister's large expenditures, he did approve of spending money to teach young men to shoot. Drill and training were useful, hut a soldier who has not heen taught how to handle a rifle Is a useless thing in time of war. He thought the minister had been a little magnanimous when he offered to loan Ross rifles to tho National Rifle assot-i; tion. "If we havo Uie best rifle, w. ought to be allowed to use it and to wiu with it," he declared. In Active Service. Major Sam Sharpe, North Ontario, wanted to know If tho sight belonging t3 the Ross rifle would be of utility iu active service. There was a difference of opinion as to this. He quoted Sergt. Russell, the well known Can. adtan shot, as stating in an interview that he would he willing to use the Lee-Enfield rifle at Bisley. Thc long Robs rifle is the hotter match rifle, he said, and he would not prefer to havo this advantage. Sergt. Russell had added that the Ross rifle sight is not practical .ur active service. Major Sharpe was inclined to think that the National Rifle association regulations were merely designed to prevent a peep sight being used at Bisley, which could hot be used in actual service. If that wore so, tlie regulations were not unreasonable aud he would be sorry to see as a result tho abandonment of the usual trip of the Canadian riflemen to Bisley. Dr. Michael Clark, Red Deer, while admitting that the discussion Was out of his latitude, said he had a couple of questions to put to tho minister. Ho first remarked, however, that he did not have too much faith in govern ment departments, even iu England. Last year the government had placed too much faith in the naval department of England, but now apparently the minister of mllltla had little faith In the war office. Dr. Clarke then asked U) does the war office adinil that the Ross rlfl0 Is tbe best? and (2) does the war office Issue these regulations in au arbitrary manner, or do they give reason tor tt? Col. Hughes in reply said that tbe war office recognized thut the Ross rifle had won its place in ull competitions.

Miners' Strike, When the houso went Into committee on estimates oE the labor department the minister was asked for particulars with regard to the labor troubles on Vancouver Island. Hon. T. W. Crothers said the intimation came in the form of press tie- Bpatchea on September 18, 1012, stating that 0n tho 16th 1.500 men had gone on strike at the Cumberland mine. A telegram was at once sent to the secretary of the miners' union pointing out tho law against a strike without applying tor a board of conciliation. To this there had come the reply from ,T. J. McCalHster, secretary of the union, that there was no strike, that the men bad laid off work for a holiday, nnd nad been locked out. A letter, about the first of May, 1913, was received that tho United Mine Workers all over Vancouver Islam! hail been called out on strike. A fair wage officer was at once despatched in an endeavor to secure application for the board nf conciliation, but he was unsuccessful. Later the government appointed z commissioner, Samuel Price, who, with the minister of labor, went to the scene ol the trouble In June, 1013. It was found that the owners were unalterably opposed to recognition of the mine workers. That was the point at issue. They were not, said tbe minister, opposed to unions generally. Still another effort was made by Deputy Minister Acklatid In November, 1913, but he also found It impossible Lo bring the two parties together, Department Criticized, F. B, Carvell strongly criticized thc course which had been followed by the department, lie contended that save for Lhe sending of a telegram from Ottawa these hail beeu no action until lho whole island was aflame with the dispute. Ho quoted from the Labor Gazette oC May, 1913, a refer ence to the strike beginning on the first of the month and thought this allowed the department had been warned of the trouble coming, He was particularly severe on what he termed the minister's junketing tour with his late law partner. "He spends two months In England with his little camera," said Mr. Carvell, "ami meanwhile men's blood was being shed and women and children were starving. If t(.firo ever was a time when a department should he brought up and castigated, this Is tho time." Mr. Crothers replied with equal vigor. Mr. Carvell, he said, did not know the facts or else he ignored them. The Crows Nest strike, for instance, involved 8,000 men and lasted eigh! months, but his predecessor •• office did not go there or send his deputy. Ho appointed a hoard under tlio Industrial Disputes act and it was the present government which had settled tho strike about a month after coming into .office, conditions having then changed and bolih parties were tired out. The Nova Scotia strike lasted £2 months, and Mr. King was unable to settle it. The Nanaimo strike of 191:1 dealt with an entirely different uues- tion and was an easy matter to settle. As for receiving word of the calling of a general strike, Mr. Crothers stated that this began on May 1 and it was April HO before the department heard of it. But during all tbo preceding period they had been in steady communication with both the miners and the owners, and at no time had negotlatlous beeu in any way let up. Today all tiie mines wero working ami the Cumberland mine was employing about 40i) men more than when the strike began. ,Mr. Crothers said he would take advantage of the occasion to make clear his relations with Samuel Price. He and Mr. Price bad practiced law in St. Thomas from 1897 until the latter was appointed mining commissioner for Ontario in 1906.

MUNRO FERGUSON GOVERNOR GENERAL Lord Denman Resigns—Attitude of Labor Party Believed to Be Cause. (Canadian Associated Press Cable) LONDON, Feb. C—It Is officially announced that his majesty has approved of the appointment of the Right Hon. Munro Ferguson, M. P., for Loith Burghs as governor general of Australia . in succession to Lord Derman, wh0 Is retiring because of 111 health. Right Hon. Ronald Munro-Ferguson, born In 1800, Is the eldest son of the late Col. R. Munro-Ferguson. Like the present governor general, he was educated at Sandhurst, and was formerly lieutenant In the Grenadier guar is. For a lime he acted as private sec- lottry io Lord Rosebery. During his secretaryship he accompanied Lord Rosebery to India and there met Lady Hermlone Blackwood, daughter of Lo'd Dufferln, then viceroy of India, and former governor general of Canada. He married Lady Hermione In 1889. i» 1894-5 he wus a lord of the treasury; when be represented Ross and Cromarty In the commons. Hf was elected foa Leith Burghs in 1886, which constituency he has since represented continuously in the Liberal interests. Ills majority In Leith has always heen a good one, his last two elections resulting: .January 1910, R. C, Munro-Ferguson 7,1-Ki; Sir R. Cranston, 4,5*10; W. Walker (labor) 1!,724. December, 1310, R. C. Munro-Ferguson 7,060; R, A .Macqulston, 0.284. Lord Denman, the youngest governor general ever appointed to Australia, sucopedod I.it'd Dudley In 1911. Although only 40 years of age, he has had a distinguished career and at the Utile of his appointment, he was polnt- i.*l ou*. as a man who would climb still higher. A Keen soldier,, he served with marked gallantry In the South African war as captain' of tbe Middlesex squadron of the Imperial Yeomanry. At the close of the war he re-entered the political arena and commanded, notice In the house of lords, where he acted B8 deputy Speaker and Liberal whip, Ut if a man of strong opln- liiH .md great ambitions, and on the advent <i Mb party to power; was appointed lord-in-waiting to his majesty, ami later, became captain of the corps of gentleman-at-arms, tho famous royal bodyguard which In 1910 celebrated Its touf 'hundredth anniversary. A man of fine appearance ant] a good speaker, with the brilliant daughter of Lord Cowdray a? bis wife he made a popular appointee to the governor-generalship of Australia. While the •official reason for Lord DennjS-h's resignation is given as Ill- health, It Is understood In many quarters that the real cause of It Is the attitude of the Australian labor fac- t on toward him. This attitude was publicly shown on several occasions ii6t.-a.bty that on which his lordship was ejected from government tiouse. which wps thereupon turned lnt0 a museum and pleasure resort, while the governor general, the king's official representative In Australia, was left to seek quarters for himself. THE CEDARS OF LEBANON The cedars of Lebanon, In Northern Syria, may rightly he regarded as the most famous u.nd sacred trees In the world, hut today only a few. remain. There is a single grove, containing about four hundred specimens, which is rigidly preserved. Trees of all ages and sizes are to be found here, nome tall anil symmetrical, others grarlcd and knotted. Some of these hitter are declared by experts to be n thousand years old. The patriarch of this little forest has a trunk measurement of 47 feel In circumference and a height of nearly 100 feet. The wood of this tree, which wn.- used by Solomon in the erection of hi wonderful temple, has a sweet odor Is very hard and seldom decays, It is Interesting to note that the American college at I'.eroul has adapted r cedar tree as the symbol of the college, -and has pictured It on their seal PUBLICITY COMMISSIONER ILL (By Dflllv Newa Leased Wire* CALGARY, Feb. 0.—Bruce Cameron, publicity commissioner of Calgary, and one of the old time newspaper men of the province.

Hut it had been dissolved before Mr. Price was ever asked1 to do an hour's work for the government or had ever earned a dollar In that way. Mr. Carvell said the period 0f blood- shed had been glossed over by the Labor Gazette, the facts being deliberately concealed f-*om the public. This, he declared, would he an absolute jus tlflcntlon for clearing out the minister, the Labor Gazette and everybody concerned. The labor people and the public had some rights. They were entitled to have nn honest statement as to labor conditions. The whole matter was one calling for serious Investigation. "If this is not the case," said Mr. Carvell, "for heaven's sake, send Mr. Price hack to flniBh his job." Mr. Carvell then said that he did not believe the report was In the hands of the minister on August 14. "It would be well for Uie member for Cnrleton if his reputation stood as high as does that of Mr. Price," was the minister's opening remark in reply, lie added that Mr. Price had returned to Ottawa before the trouble commenced at Nanaimo. The report was made In August because lip (the minister) read It before he left for England.. "I want to resent the statement that Mr. Price would send In it report under a false date. There Is no one In Ontario who would believe that about Mr. Price," he snid. W. F. Carroll, Capo Breton, contrasted the handling of the strike In Nova Scotia by the late government with the manner In which the Nanaimo trouble had heen dealt with by the present minister. In the first instance, he said, when the workers had made a mistake in procedure In asking for a board, the then minister of tabor, Mackenzie King, had put them straight. In this case Mr. Crothers had simply refused lo accede to the request for a board. He, too, thought it was a peculiar coincidence that the report on the strike should have concluded on the very day thai the troopB were called out at Nanaimo Mr. Carroll, continuing In the evening, eulogized the manner in which Mackenzie-King had handled the labor department while he was deputy minister and minister of labor, contrasting his success with that obtained by the present minister. He said the present minister had no backbone and had shown no strength. F. H. Shepherd denied the charge that he had not taken any interest in the troubles and had hot brought the matter up in the house last session. He said the serious side of the difficulty did not develop until after the house ndjourncd. He explained tne origin of the trouble, which in the first place was not, as generally supposed, the refusal to recognize the (Jutted Mine Workers of America, although It developed in a general 'demand for the recognition of the union. To this the mine owners objected for reasons best known to themselves. As to the minors, ho firmly (believed they should have the right to organize to get the best possible remuneration for their labor. It was their only capital. He held no brief for either side. Oriental Labor Referring to the employment of Oriental labor In the mines, he said that there were but two companies that employed them, one was the Canadian Collieries company, which had used them for 25 years, and the other place Was at Extension, where six Orientals were -Used. In answer to a question, he explained that this referred to underground employment only. Orientals were not used for surface work. Mr. Shepherd explained in the house his efforts to secure conciliation. He made a proposition that was met With brickbats. Fortunately none hit him. He paraphrased Dlckc-ns In declaring this: "The ricks were blazing and the mob was mad." He tried to get an armistice, but his good intentions were misunderstood. A conference was nranged -between the managers and seven of lhe men. One of the men appointed, however, was Mr. Farrlngton, who lead the strike for the mine workers, and the conference was declared off. Mr. Shepherd gave a graphic picture of tho riots at Extension, how a boy rode on a foam-flecked horse to Nanaimo and announced that six men had been killed, how a mob of 1.000 strong, armed with evory variety of weapon, marched to Extension, how homes were burned, property destroyed, and how women and children were driven Into the woods, where they were without food or shelter for -48 hours. The latter Incident, he said, "would bring the blush of shame to the cheek of an Apache. Indian, antl is not trade union- Ism." No Bloodshed Mr. Shepherd said, however, that It waa an exaggeration to say that there was any bloodshed. The most serf ous accident was when a man had his arm blown off. One man was hit with a bullet. However, he was an onlooker, and "he had his curiosity satisfied." Plea for Clemency Mr. Shepherd paid a tribute to the manner In whieh Lleut.-Col. Haldet handled tho disturbances. He handled the most serious disturbance since confederation without firing a shot or shedding a drop of blood. He believed that most of the men engaged In the riots were misled by the spirit of tho hour. In closing, he made an earnest plea for clemency for the men who had been misguided. He had hoped the minister of Justice would use evory effort to induce the governor- general lo grant the men pardon. W. A. Buchanan, Medicine Hat, was thc next speaker. He said that the mining operators of British Columbia hail received large concessions from the present government In, thc way of subsidies for their railways, which showed they had thc ear of the government. Could it bo possible, ho asked, that they could havo had sufficient Influonco to direct the sympathy of the minister of labor In their direction? Referring to the claim made by Mr. Crothers that the present government had settled the Alberta coal miners' strlko whore the old government had failed, he said that such a statement had no foundation on fact. The settlement had been arrived at between the operators and the men long before Mr. Rogers, then minister of .the Interior, had arrived on the scene. Petty Attack II. H. Stevens, Vancouver, said he deplored thc fact that a matter which Involved the future relations of capital and labor should be made the subject of petty politics and a petty attack upon the minister of labor. Mr. Carroll interrupted to ask Mr Stevens if he would be In favor of o penalty to enforce the award of an Industrial disputes 'board. Mr. Stevens replied that he was In favor of the act being amended In that respect, and said that he understood the minister was at present engaged upon the task of drafting such amendment. Mr. Stevens maintained that no evidence had been produced to show that the minister had failed in his duty. The question of the recogni tion of International or local unions was now before the country. There aro. at present In the country many International unions of the highest type, There are, however, many who think that American labor unions should not be recognized. The difficulty in connection with the' settlement of labor disputes was the Impossibility under tho present act of fixing a penalty. It would be a good thing if the minister of labor could devise an amendment to the act which would Impose a penalty both upon the employes and their organizations for refusing to accept the findings of board of conciliation. Both the union and the employer should be made re sponsible parties. Mr. Stevens thought the militia of Canada should not be a tool ln the hands of the employer. Groat care should be exercised ln the use of militia. So far as the Nanaimo strike was concerned, he said, the blame rests not with the minister, but with the net. The minister did bis utmost to bring the two parties together, but was met with the difficulty that neither side would admit there was a strike. The employers called it a lock-out, while the men said they were taking a holiday. He was disposed to blame the employers more than the men, 'because they should have exercised more common sense and ngreed to meet the organizers. Mr. Carvell asked the member for Vancouver If he would go .-*o far as to advocate compulsory arbitration. Mr. Stevens said there was a large question Involved. Ho thought if there was something in the statute bonk which could be exercised in case of necessity, this would Induce the settlement of strikes. White British Columbia E. M. Macdonald declared thnt this strike had demonstrated tbe Inability of the government to deal with a serl- our labor difficulty. Conservatives from British Columbia were, however, but reaping where they had sown. They had called for a white British Columbia. They had denounced Sir Wilfrid for adhering to an Imperial treaty. Within two years after coming Into office they had widened the door for the entry into Canada Oriental labor. The debate was continued until 11:10 when the house rose.
