"MHIS ins mm (Continued from Pago One.) um commission "must be examined with suspicion." Allison's failure to 'tell Gen. Hughes of it and to write tij Yoakum in the samo way as to others about accepting commissions were criticized. Mr. Henderson—I have heard the names of many prominent men connected with these contracts and l think it would have been better if they ha!d been here. You must pardon ine if I say that \ don't think there was anything illegitimate on the part of Col. Allison In this mutter. Hits at Allison. Commissioner Duff—Thc whole thing hi that Allison as the confidential agent ot* the minister of militia and defense dips his hand in the till to the tune of $200,000 In connection with these contracts. Mr. Henderson—That is a strong expression. ■ Commissioner Duff—Of bourse It is. I intqnd It to be strong. So far as these other men in official positions are concerned, 1 am not concerned with their names. It is tlie principle 1 am concerned with; Mr -Henderson—You use the words "official positions.' 1 cannot accept the statement that Col. Allison occu- piel an official position with the government of Canada. He was a broker and business man. It was known that he would take a commission on any business with Great Britain, including that with the shell committee. There is no evidence that he ever repudiated takin" commissions on that. He did tell Col. Carnegie and Gen. Bertram that be was anxious to help them and he did help tbem. I know' Commissioner Duff wants to be fair. , Commissioner Duff—I want to be charitable,.Mr. Henderson—charitable, but— Mr. Hnderson—Jf he had said, "I am entitled to a commission on this business;. T am going to get a commission," he would have been accorded It. • Commissioner Meredith—If that agreement for commissions had been before the shell 'comptroller to be signed, what would have happened? Commissioner Duff—If Gen. Pease had seen it, for instance? Mr. Henderson—it probably would mil have been*signed. That is an extreme suggestion. • Commissioner Duff—Do you think so? ' ■ Commissioner Meredith—We don't want in this Inquiry to unduly qatl gate the small men. Mr. Henderson—We hnve to realize that big profits were made on war contracts because of big prices'. 4 Goes Into History. Commissioner Duff referred to an incident where Mr.. Balfour had been accused on the hustings of making his money out of war profits. Those who said .it had to 'apologize. "Everyone knows."' he said, "the odor which hung around war profits during tbe Indian mutiny and the Crimean war." Mr. Hendei'son-^rYeH, biit the atimles mirtt be etfttlffped. ''■ • * Commissioner- Duff—You recollect the incident where Gen. Pte ton threatened once to shoot n war contractor,? The war contractor told the Duke of Wellington and Wellington told him that he had better he careful, because Pic ton was just the sort of man to do what he. said. Don't you think he was justified? Mr. Henderson—We cannot get ulong without war contractors. Commissioner Duff—Then try td make them honest. Mr Henderson—It might have been better if Allison had told Yoakum that he did not want to make a profit out of this. I trust, however, that it has been abundantly demonstrated thut the money .shared with Allison* stayed witli Allison, that no part of it has gone to the minister or the shell committee. 1 do not desire to place before you Col. -Allison as any other than a business man. He made profits and he took profits. I do say", however, that the evidence disclosed here that there was no kind of Influehce between Col. Allison and the minister which hi dueed in any way tlie making of the contracts fn question here.

At .the ilnal, sitting of the inquiry in the afternoon, N. K. Laflamme, K. C., couftBci"for;aen. Bertram, made hM argurtfent. <He*natd that the meratbera of the sltelj committee had done everything in their power by the production of documentary and other evidence to ttynvL light, on the matter .under investigation. He called the attention Of the commissioners to the factHhat Sir Robert.. Borden, speaking in the house oi commons March 7, had given three reasons for refusing an inquiry Into the operations of the shell comr mittee. The premier had said that the committee wai*'appointed by the British government, that It was acting under the authority of the Imperial author. Itle.-a and that the money was British money. He thought that these reasons were founded on. common sense an<*l sound logic. Subsequent to tho malting of the ICytc-charges.the government au thorized an Inquiry because there were more or less direct charges aimed at the minister of mltlla. He said that the terms of the order In council had created an extraordinary situation for the members, of the. shell committee, He* argued that none of these charges had beon established. Mr. Eaflummo thought that Col Carnegie was quite right when he took the view that provided the shells were supplied at. the price stipulated by the war office the prices paid for component burls was not important. Mr. Laflamme said he had no mandate to defend Sir Sain Hughes, who was not in need of defense. He com pared the rclutions of the minister and tile membfirs of tho shell committee with those which existed between Napoleon und his marshals. He gave orders and Insisted on them being carried out. But tbe minister did nut exerlcse undue pressure to malte the committee give the fuse contracts to the American, companies. Mr. L&fiuhime, referring more par tleulurly to Gen. Bertram, suid he had within the past few days been eulogized by thoso who had charged him with conspiracy. Jn closing, Mr. JjU- flammo said,that the members of thi shell "committee refuse to accept i certificate of virtue from .Messrs. Car- veil and Kyte. They were human and might hi^ve erred. They had time to think,'but not to deliberate. Chief .Justice Meredith remarked that to his mind the most serious charge that could be brought against Gen. Hughes at the time was that he had haggled about prices ut a time when prices were u. matter of little Importance. Three Questions, Says Nesbitt Wallace Nesbitt. K. C, counsel for the shell committee, who followed, said there were three things hi which the people of Canada are interested— J*-} Sir Sam Hughes honest? Was the shell committee honest?

At the time the contracts were lei, be said, there were only three firms in Nnglund malting fuses and only two in the United States. Thc talk of giving the business to Canada Was utterly futile. So one would un dertukc to make fuses on a large scale, although many American firms were asked to try.

He was guided by "a spirit, of faith rising above facts that ought to make him the bead of the Christian Science.church."

WINNIPEG, June 9.—The subject of foreign missions in which the Presbyterian church In Canada has been engaged in for more than 50 years was the theme of addresses at the West- mlnstef church tonight, given in connection with the annual meeting of the general assembly. The speakers included two missionaries from Honan, China, two from India, and two.. leaders in this work. at home. India was represented by Rev. F. Russell and Rev. R. A. King, both graduates of Manitoba college, Winnipeg, and both well known hert. China was represented by Rev. W. H. Grant, Toronto, and Mr. McClure, who have spent many years in Hpnap. Other speakers were Principal A. Gandler of Knox college, Toronto, who | is the chairman of the foreign mission board, and Venerable Rev. Dr. R, F. Mackay, secretary of the board. It was reported that during the year 1915 the church in Canada had expended $20,000 mi the- Trinidad mission, $40,000 in Korea, $25,000 in the island of Formosa, $70,000 In India, $60,000 in Honan, China, $12,000 in South China andftother sums in other countries. In addition to this native funds had been provided in large amounts. In the medical missions 15,000 patients had been treated in Honona, North China, and 70,000 in India. A staff of physicians and surgeons are now engaged in various countries. Delegation Received During the afternoon session the assembly received,a delegation from the Church of England; In the party were Rev. Dean -Cotpi^es, Col. Car- ruthers, W. Q. -Tapper, *K.»C-. and Rev. W. H. Thomas, diocesan missionary. The assembly stood;'to receive the visitors and the moderator extended a cordial welcome. Col, Carruthers conveyed the good wishes of the Church of England to the laymen of the Presbyterian church and extended to them the right hand of fellowship. The moderator in replying referred •to the service whliih the Church of England had tendered In western.Canada In early days when at innumerable points they alone represented In many communities religious faith in* a visible form. 4 pr. Robert Campbell iat the afternoon session reported on the Presbyterian Record, the official monthly publication of the denomination. ''% ■■ Publications Report The board of publications, having charge of the issuing of all the papers for young people and children reported through John Lowdea of Tprofttp and Rev. Dr. D. Fraser, who is in charge of this Work and who has made of It a great success. Dr. Fraser began this enterprise under the orders of the church in 1900. One of the difficulties, of the business Is the lack of working capital, which amounts to only $-17,000. Dr. Douglas Is not, however, asking for money, but states that in the course of years he will be able to make gifts from the business to the church, provided the members throughout the country stand behind the enterprise. The publications distributed now amounted to 11,000,000 aVyear. The board having charge of the work among young people and the Sunday schools reported through Rev. J. C. Robertson, the secretary. Addresses on this subject were given by President Falconer, of the university of Toronto, and by Rev. W. A. McTaggart, one of the well known ministers of the Queen city. President Falconer referred to the large numbers of young men who had gone out from the Bible classes of Canada to the war and declared that the country ought to be proud to give its best, as it was doing, In such a case. Rev. J. C. Robertson said that he knew of many large Bible classes of .young men throughout the church, every last one of which had enlisted for active service. College Aid Vote Loit The question of aid to the Ottawa Women's eollegte. was again discussed and the motion to grant the aid asked for was lost on the close vote of 101 to 99. A considerable number of tHose present did not vote. There were more than 400 commissioners present when this matter was' decided. A committee was appointed to go to Ottawa and discuss the question and on further consideration it was decided that a committee should also go to Red* Deer to look Into the question of the college for girls at that place. The government of Alberta had offered to buy tht Institution at Red Deer for Institutional purposes, but at the last moment the trustees decided that they would not sell. The representatives of the Ottawa college said that all they wanted was temporary assistance. WHOLE FLE Ef ST. JOHNS-jPLANS 8PECIAL RECRUITING CAMPAIGN ST.

An effort will be made to send forward 1000 men'as the colony's share, Description of Great Naval Engagement Off Jutland Is Given in Delayed Despatches BERI&N, Friday, June 2, wireless to tho Associated Press via Sayvllle. —(Delayed In transmission).—Detailed reports of the naval battle fn the North Sea detract nothing from the importance of the German victory. They show that the- -entlro German battle fleet,, except the light forces assigned to the Baltic, was engaged , with the main force of the British fleet. Queen Elizabeth Engaged LONDON, June 6.—Contrary to the first Impression that none of the new British super-dreadnoughts took part In the battle off Jutland, it appears from a circumstantial account of the fight, published in a Glasgow paper, that the Queen Elizabeth played an Important part in the action. Admiral Beatty's battle cruisers were followed, according to this account, <by the big warship' at a distance of two miles, and * before the day was over had fought and sunk a German battleship -believed to be the Hlndenburg, previously reported sent to the .bottom by a massed attack of destroyers. Describing the battle the report quoted says: Whole German Fleet "Admiral Beatty, with battle cruisers and supporting battleships, had. beforo him the whole of the German battle fleet, and Admiral Jellicoe still some distance away. The opposing fleets were moving parallel to one another in opposite directions, and but for the master manoeuvering on the part of Admiral Beatty the British advance ships would have beei\| cut off from Admiral Jelllcoe's grand fleet. "In order to avoid this and at the same time prepare the. way so that Admiral Jellicoe might envelop his adversary. Almlral Beatty Immediately also turned right around 18 points, so as to bring his ships parallel to the German battle cruisers and faxing In the same direction, i As soon as he was round, he increased to full speed to get ahead of the Germans and take up a tactical position in advance of their line. Ho was able to do this owing to the superior speed of our cruisers. Three Vessels Lost "Just before the turning point was reached, the Indefatigable sank, probably from striking a mine, and the Queen Mary an'd Invincible were also lost at< the turning point, where, of course, the high seas fleet concentrated Its fire. A little earlier, as the German battle cruisers were turning, the Queen Elizabeth had in similar manner concentrated her fire on the' turning point, and destroyed a new German battle cruiser believed to he the Hlndenburg. -Admiral Beatty had now got round and headed away with tlie loss of three ships racing parallel lo the German battle cruisers. The Queen Elizabeth followed behind, engaging the main high seas1 fleet. "The Queen Elizabeth now turned shori to port, 16 points, in order to follow Admiral Beatty. The Warspite, jamed her steering gear and failed to got round, and drew the fire of six of the enemy, who closed In on her. One Is not surprised that the Germans claim her as a loss, since, on paper, she ought to have been lost, but as a matter of fact, though repeatedly straddled by shell fire, with water boiling up all around her, sho was not seriously hit, and was able to sink one of her opponents. Her captain regained control of his vessel and brought her round and folowed her consorts. Skilful Manouvring "In tho meantime the Barham, Valient, and Malaya turned short, so as to avoid the danger spot where the Queen Mary and Invincible had been lost, and for an hour, until Admiral Jellicoe arrived, fought a delaying action against the high seas fleet. Tho Warspite joined them about 5:15, and all four ships so successfully manouvred in order to upset the spotting corrections of their opponents that no hits of a seriously disabling character were suffered. They had speed superior to their opponents by fully four knots, and were able to draw away from th* part of the long line of German battleships, which at- most filled up the horizon. "At this timo the Queen Elizabeth was steadily firing at the flashes of the German guns at a range which varied between' 12,000 and. 15,000 yards, especially against those ships which were nearest them. The Germans were enveloped in mist and only smoke and flashes were visible. Left Out of Range "By 5:45 half of the high seas fleet had been left out of range and'the Queen Elizabeth was steaming fast to Join hands with Admiral Jellicoe. "Now return to Admiral Beatty's battle cruisers. They had succeeded in outflanking the German battle cruisers which were therefore obliged to turn at full right angle to starboard to avoid being headed.* Heavy fighting was renewed between the opposing battle cruiser squadrons, during which the Derffllnger was sunk, but towards 6 o'clock the German fire slackened very considerably, showing that Admiral Beatty's "battle cruisers and the Queen Elizabeth had inflicted serious damage on their immediate opponents. Grand Fleet In Sight \ "The grand fleet was now. in sight, coming up fast in three directions. The Queen Elizabeth and consorts now altered their course four points to starboard* and drew In towards the enemy to allow Admiral Jellicoe to deploy Into line. The Grand Fleet was perfectly manouvred and the very difficult operation of deploying between the battle cruisers and the Queen Elizabeth was perfectly timed. Admiral Jel- llecoe came up and fell in 'behind Admiral Beatty's cruisers and, followed by the damaged but still serviceable Queen Elizabeth, steamed right across the head of the German fleet. "The first of the ships to come into action were the Revenge and Royal <5»ak, with- their 15-lnoh guns, and the Aglncourt, which fired from her Seven turrets with the speed almost of a- Maxim gun. The whole British fleet had now become concentrated. They had been perfectly manouvred so as to cross the "T" of the high seas fleet, and, indeed, only decent light was necessary to complete their work of destroying the Germans In detail. "The light did Improve for a few minutes and the conditions were favorable to the British fleet, which was now In line approximately north and south, across the head of the Germans. Admiral Jellicoe smashed up three of the German ships, but the mist came down and the visibility suddenly failed, and the defeated high seas fleet was able to draw off in ragged divisions," GOOD ROADS HELP AUTO SALES AND AUTOS AID GOOD ROADS The unprecedented demand for motor ears that is responsible for mnny automoblle factories working day and night Is attributed in a measure to the work accomplished by good roads advocates during the past few years. In turn the automobile Itself Is accountable for many good road Improvements. The two are closely linked. "The awakening of public interest to the Importance of good roads has done more toward facilitating the sale of automobiles than probably any other one thing since the advent of the self- starter," says John N. Willys, president of the Willys-Overland company. ■"Show me any section of a state or county whero tbe roads recently have been put in proper shape for driving and I'll show you a number of automobile dealers nearby, who have increased their business. "'The best salesman in the world cannot sell a car if the prospective purchaser lives In a locality that is literally surrounded by muddy and impassable roads. All arguments as to why he should purchase a car whether It be for recreation or for business fall flat If on the very first trip he has to wallow through a sea of mud. The Improvement of lfl or 15 miles of roadway offer the greatest Inducement In the world to invest in motor cars.'1 Probably no class of men In any business or profession have done more toward ..furthering the good roads movement than have the automobilo dealers themselves. To them} good roads are as much of a necessity as they are to the car owners In their respective territories, If the highways that lead to their salesrooms are neglected, their business suffers in consequence. The average motorist will travel 20 miles over a good road in preference to driving two miles over a poor one. It Is any wonder then that the big majority of automobile dealers are such 'staunch supporters of all good road movements whether these 'measures be of national character or of a local nature? "In the case of the Overland," continued Mr. Willys, "we encourage this kind of work among our dealers as much as possible. With 5000 of them scattered throughout the country they fprta a Good Roads Boosters' organisation that Is in Itself a power for it helps keep alive and growing the spirit that has been responsible for much of the good roads work accomplished dur- | ing the na^t year or t,wo," Why Shamed by Blotchy Skin If you are a sufferer from eczema or unsightly pimply skin, you know just what it means to have that humiliating, backward feeling about meeting strangers and oftentimes friends.

THE REAL VICTORY OF THE BRITISH NAVY The Jutland naval battle, the great- tt est_tn the history of the world, is, after all, merely an incident Tn the naval history of this war. The British navy could perform its part victoriously in the main struggle without firing a shot or sinking an enemy ship—always providing, of course, that the enemy did not take the offensive or indulge In raids. It has happened that the war has produced five major " struggles at sea. In all except Caro- nel* the British fleet has been victorious. But If none of these battles . had occurred, if the enemy ships all remained safe fn harbor, the British navy's position would still be th.kt of victor. The great victory of the British navy Ilea In thc fact that it has kept (he'seas open for the transport of entente' sun-piles and troops. The supreme victors' of the navy is exemplified In the regular operation of the mercantile marines of the world to and from entente ports. Thanks to the' navy troops have heen brought from India, British troops have been sent to Egypt, France, Asia Minor and Africa, French and British armies lire; at Saloniki, Russians have been landed at Marseilles. Herein lies the potency of the British navy as the greatest single force Ip the war. Nfftral battles, unless the enemy losses his head and attempts decisive action, are mere Incidents, however spectacular and tremendous' they may prove. a move with which the Public has no sympathy From the apologetic tone adopted .by Liberal spokesmen at the coast It is evident that they now realize th*kt H. C. Brewster made the greatest blunder of his political career when he moved io commence suit to upset the legislation passed last session by pleading technical grounds, Public opinion from the outset has been against a purely factious move that at best could accomplish no good and which, if It wrought the minimum of damage to British Columbia of which tt was capable, would create uneasiness ancl uncertainty and make it difficult for undertakings which rely upon outside capital to be proceeded with. -.lust when conditions were favorable for'progress and development the Liberal leader hns attempted for n mere political advantage to throw a hammer into the machinery nnd bring everything to a standstill. Partisan leaders who are capable of this kind of politics are not big enough for the people of British Columbia. Emperor William has named a food dictator. That is a job very few men would care to tackle unless well guarded against food riots. ■ The German writers are busily engaged in arguing as to whether the German people are dispirited by the successive failures nt Verdun. The entente could hardly wish for anything more significant of the feeling in the kaiser's empire. If H, C. Brewster had his way .the Workmen's Compensation act, ^the chipping bill, the French Zino company guarantee and other legislation would be stricken from the statute books and the province would he prevented from spending a nickel on pub- tic .works or other undertakings, including the construction of roads to mines out of the $200,000 special appropriation.

If there is one thing more 'certain than another tn the crisis In which we find ourselves, It. is that Prussian mill trlsm, against whlclr we are fighting with all. our might, is the direct antithesis of Christian idess. ^ There Is In it a spirit of materialistic, vulgar, domineering, which erects political ambition into a sort of ethical law, overriding all the ordinary notions of humanity and loving kindness.

The kaiser set out to destroy the Empire but In the end he will only have rebuilt it on a deeper and surer foundation—but a foundation with liberty still as its keystone.' *iln a century, perhaps in half a century we here at home shall have shrunk by comparison to a relatively minor element of the confederation. The very centre pf the Eng lish race may have shifted from us, must eventually be shifted from us.

An Unconscious Confession, Hotir stupid German officialdom .cap. t*je is impressed by Count von Bern- storffs order to German consuls in the United States to warn subjects of the kaiser here to obey the laws of the state In which they reside. This Is instruction to discontinue the violations of law, the interference with legitimate American manufacturing and commerce, the plotting.1* and incendiary actions which originally were instigated from within the precincts of the German embassy at Washington and by attaches of the embassy. It is confession of the jtruth of the charges made against Germany—Pittsburg Gazette-Times. - German Dictation iii U. S Politics If the editors of the so-called German newspapers printed in the United States really want to prevent the nom inatlon or even the election ftt Theo dore Roosevelt, they will promptly call off such "ultimatums" as they are reported to have issued to the republican leaders in Chicago. For if there is anything that will arouse all the dormant force of potent Americanism it is German dictation In oiir politics. Let voters of German descent, who have earned the title to be Americans, think and.vote as they will, they have a right to their opinions. The thing wo shall not stand In this country, Is such an obviously Berlin-directed movement as this which now appears.—New Haven (Conn.) Register. ♦♦-»■♦♦ ♦♦■♦-*-»■♦♦♦+■■» «y "OLD TOP. __ . Mr. Philip Gibs, studying the lighter aspects of the war, has observed that the Austrllan addresses the French ma.i.as "old son," and the Frenchman the Australian as "mon .vleux," Why is "old" regarded as a term of endearment In many languages, irrespective of tbe age of the man addressed? Old chap, old fellowd, old boy, old hoss, old man, old girl, old top—there's a long list. This use of "old" goes back in English to the 16th century. "Old" as a term of disparagements goes back as far. Artemus Ward resented the use of "old," used familiarly /by his partner Bill-son. when they were managers of a company playing "The Drunkard or the Falling Sa\^ed," with a real drunkard. "Says I, Btllson, you hain't got a well-"balanced mind. Says he, Yes, I have, old hoss-fly (.he was such a low cuss)—yes, I have. ^ I have a mind, says he, that balances* In any direction that the public requires. That's wot I calls a well-balanced mind. I EARL KITCHENER. The death of Lord Kitchener, of which unfortunately there seems to be no doubt, will send a thrill of horrified sorrow throughout the whole Empire. His picturesque personality has en aged the imagination as his deeds have engaged the admiration of the entire British people. Anlyzing's one's feel ingj*, they are as though a sheet anchor had gone.. It would be useles; to disguise the fact that the removal of Kitchener will be to many thousands like the, removal of a bulwark guard Ing the Empire from disaster. Yet, considered calmly, such is not the case. The death of no one man, however great he may' be, can have much effect on such stupendous events as are happening today. However deeply the death of Lord Kitchener may be deplored, It constitutes the parting of but one light strand in the rope of Empire safety. 'Lord Kitchener's greatest tasks in life had been completed. For some months past he has not been the ac live head of the British army, the real direction nf affairs having been taken over by General Robertson. The recent activities of Earl Kitchener have been diplomatic rather than military. In that, field his great personality will be missed in the Empire service. J-ns monument, perhaps the greatest monn ment an Englishman ever had. is bis army. '"Kitchener's Mob" as they called themselves, that splendid aggrega tion of volunteer soldiers whose glory each volunteer of today is the heir and successor. That army and all the armies that follow it, however long the war may last, will lay down their lives gladly to avenge Lord Kitchener's death.—Calgary Herald. Unbeaten.

JNTIMIiDATE ^NADIANS in some quarters, the theory has been advanced that the Germans, by their unparalleled cannonading and bombing on the Hooge-Ypres line, have been trying to Intimidate the Canadi una. If this has been the purpose of the Teutons, they have failed and they will fail iio matter how severely they test the courage of the men from the Dominion. That this Is so, is evidenced by the .message from Britain that 50, 000 Canadians who are quartered there for training, are clamoring to be^ent to the trenches to take the place of those who have been killed or wounded. This Is the spirit that animates Canadians. Reverses do rtifft dull It; rath, er do they arouse it. Canadians are slow to be. angered into fighting mood but when their 'blood Is heated Jiy opposition they become fairly beserk in their onslaught and the enemy suffers accordingly. Although not military by training, they outdistance the men who have been trained to arms from birth when they are spurted by necessity and by carnage. What has happened at Hooge' and Ypres is the tragedy of war. Our men accepted it heroically, and those who survivejind those who have been training are'ready, yea they clamor to be allowed to run a similar risk that they may avenge their fallen comrades. , At home the some spirit will be mado manifest 'by increased activity In the recruiting offices. Canadians are called to arms by the casualty list and by the death of Lord Kitchener.—Calgary News-Telegram. f******** *y «4 »»1 I YOU MUST GO! JEN MILLION ARE • INVETERATE GUM CHEWER8 How many people in the United States ,$hew gum? No accurate government -statistics being available, a conservative estimate may place the number at 1-0,000,000 dividing them into two Classes, the inveterate or habitual chewers and the occasional chew- ers. Under the latter class may be placed school children, who are not permitted to chew durtnj? study hours. According'to-the census St 1910, there were in the United States 27,- 750,599 persons *'between the ages, of six and twenty!years in the forty- eight states and the District of Columbia. Of. this number 17,300,204 attended school, at potentially occasional chewers, leaving a balance of 10,450,395 aa potentially inveterate chewers of gu;n, all under the age. of twenty years. Of course, all these, may not have .been gum cheweys; equally, of course, inveterate gum chewers cannot -be.confined to persons "under tbe age of 20 years. These figures may -be takeri, however, to show that the estimate of 10,000,000 chewers is very conservative. The latest statistics published by the department of commerce show that during the calendar year 1913 the United States imported 13,401,31,6 pounds of chicle, valued nt $5,119,500. Now the word "chicle" to most people in this country might be Greek, but It Isn't. According to the pamphlets on Mexico, recently issued iby the Pan- American Union at Washington, D. C. the word "chicle" is of Aztec origin, and is the ndGie given to the sap of the sapote tree, botanlcally known as the sapota znpotllla. lt Is this sap which is the basis of practically all the chewing gum used in the United States. The Aztecs in Mexico are said to have been the first gum chewers I RED CROSS NOTES j *»■»»■>■»♦ *-**•* ♦♦♦♦♦♦■♦4»-»-»■»■♦■♦ 4> ** The society has acknowledged the following donations!

SCHOFIDB REVIEWS WORK Of SESSION Member for Trail Tells of New Legislation of Importance to Residents of Kootenay-Boundary. (Special to The ©ally News.) ■ TRAIL, B.C., June 9.—J. ». Schofield, M.P.P., upon his return from Vicj- toria reviewed the work of the session lost closed which was the second long* est in th*? history of the province, only being exceeded by that of 1892. That the present house is a business govern* ment, is borne out by the large amount of -useful legislation passed among which the following hills may be said to be ot special value to those living in the Kootenay country. Bill No. 2 gives prospectors who may be serving with the colors exemption from certain* conditions which they would have to fulfil under the Mineral and Placer Mining act. , Bill No. 13 provides for the free grant of their preemption records to those who are on active service without observing the requirements of the Land act. Bill No. 15 provides for the issuing of free homesteads to any who are on active service and for loaning the soldiers money on their homesteads In a manner similar to the Agricultural Credits act. It also provides for certain cancellations of land purchased by so called speculators throughout the province except the proportion for which they have already paid or will pay by the end of the present year. The balance of the land held at present under these applications to purchase are reserved for the returned soldiers or to be sold by the minister and the proceeds of such sale placed in the hands of the Agricultural Credits .commission for the benefit of the returned soldiers.

In Belgium tho dollar unl£ represents' a vastly greater amount of return that in Canada. This has become more apparent than ever under the efficient management of the Belgian Relief Commission, which has had charge bf thc dispensing of relief to the seven millions of destitute people fn the devastated sections of the country, This organization has reduced the dispensing of relief to a scientific basis and has, by much figuring, managed to save these millions from starvation In a land now absolutely barren of anything that would provide nourishment for the people. The dollar—the Canadian dollar—In . t,q*jjj['! Belgium means much. To the middle class Canadian family the dollar represented an average meal for the family. In Belgium thc same dollar means sustenance in sufficient quantity to keep one person from starvation a month; If every Canadian, who Is .utile, should set aside a dollar a month the alarming situation would be solved.

Ernment, Representative CREDIT FONCIER BUILDING VANCOUVER, B. C. THE FRUIT PRESERVING SEASON Tho high prices for sugar will mean that less homo preserving of fruit will he done this summer. An advance from 5 cents to 9 cents a pound malies a great difference to the consumer. But there ,ure likely to be compensating factors. At least tho sugar-refining and wholesaling interests calculate upon them. Tho chief of thorn is that as sugar goes up, the price of fruit will come down. The basic reasoning bohind that theory is that fruits which aro preserved are perishable, that they must havo a quick market, at the prices procurable, and that if, owing to sugar costs, housewives are, slow and chary about buying fruit for preserving, tilt* fruit prices will, naturally drop to the compensating level. The other chief Idea of tho sugar men is that canned -fruit will moro largely take the place of tho home preserving. How this will make a cheaper table for the home is not explained. The canners have to pay more for their sugar and unless they use glucose, or saccharine', or some other, such product, their costs must advance In nearly tlie same proportion. Indeed, tlie scarcity of such labor as tho canning factories uso *]ay -make thoir costs considerably higher than usual. The outlook doen nou favor especial relief from this source. Some of tho sugar people think they perceive a steady decline in the demand for sugar. Consumers are buying from hand to mouth, and using sugar as carefully as fresh eggs In February. 'If, over the continent, tbe high prices Induce the same economizing strain, a halt to tho mounting prices may be ciulckly called. The same thing happened ta gasoline when it got to a certain level, vy large and bountiful fruit crop this year would do much toward correct- j.

Beautiful Skin East) to Have You may be as healthy as a bird In the air and still have a poor complex- Ion. Changing seasons and temperatures, winds, dust and dirt, are apt to injure any skin, even though the general health be good. When these external influences spoil the complexion, the natural thing is to remove the spoil by external means. Ordinary mercolized wax will do this. It will actually absorb the weather soiled film skin, a little each day. In a week or two you'll have a brand new complexion, a new skin. Tho exquisitely beautiful and youthful complexion thus acquired, comes bo easily, without harm or discomfort, there's no reason why arty woman should not adopt this simple treatment. Get an ounce of mercolized wax at any drug store, apply nightly like cold cream, washing It off mornings. This will not fail In any case. To quickly rerftove wrinkles, signs of care and age, bathe the/face occasionally in a soluttbh of powdered saxolite, 1 oz., dissolved in ys pt. witch hazel. JThe results .will surprise you.

MACK DEFEATS WELLS ROCHESTER, N. Y-, Jjlrtc 9.-— Frank Mack of Boston defeated Matt Wells of England in 10 rounds here tonight. SOLDIER'S WIVES AND "WOMENJ IMS" Writer in Canadian Courier Hae Some Observations on Remark of l'- / Woman at Meeting I picked up a paper the other day and read an account of a Patriotic Fund meeting in which a lady made the following remarks touclflng- the wives of soldiers whom tho Fund as- slated: "We have been fostering extravagance and wastefulness. They should do their full sharp of the war work instead of gadding to tlie moving picture shows and spending their afternoons shopping. No Toronto lady can get a charwoman to do her- work unless she makes arrangements two weeks in advance. Tt Is disgraceful that women of brains, who ought to be In patriotic work, have to work at home." "I have not given the lady's name- though tho newspapers were not so kind. I entertain the help that she was mis-reported. Then, if that was really what she said. I feel that it would 'be cruel to pillory tbe poor shrivelled soul, and further humiliate her friends, for utterances that can only reveal either a mental or a cardiac condition whloh must humiliate them daily. Still occasionally stories do come to me which suggest that this point of view Is not wholly monopo llzed by the lady In question. Never before have I heard It put so bluntly, But. there is. perhaps, enough of this feeling at large in the community- born in some cases of lack of thought about the situation—to make it wortii while to say a few plain words on this subject of soldiers' wives, "You will notice that the lady I have quoted above begins her complaint by saying that these soldiers' wives "should do thoir full share of the war work." This sounds reasonable and patriotic. But, in the next sentence, you discover that what she really means Is that soldiers' wives "should do her share of her own housework." Her idea clearly is that these honored ladies of our war heroes—whom we were frantically cheering just the other day—should do their share of this glorious "war work"—In her kitchen. And she thinks it "disgraceful" that they won't do It. "But what about the feelings of tho war hero?—and he. after all, Is the man to be considered. It is to be presumed that he thinks highly of his wife —the mother of his children—even if she Is not "a woman of brains" in the sense that she can make her living without soiling her hands. Tt is quite possible that he Imagines that she TS 'a woman brains." though her "■brains" may not have been given that technical training which would turn them into deft and polished Instrument for making money. There is often much more "brains" in the head of the modest woman who stays at home, manages a house, and possibly brings up a family of children, than in that of the veneered and dashing de-feminized specimen who regards it as "disgraceful" to "work at home" and "brainy" to make a show in public. * "Anyway, the soldier—if he is a decent sort, as most of them are—loves his wife. He does not like to see her charring for other women. He does not admit for a moment that she is inferior to other women. If he should get a better job at home, which, gave him money enough to support his family without her earnings, the first thing he would do would bo to tell her to give up "working out," and enjoy such leisure as site had like the wives of richer men. <**He would not object to her "gadding to the moving picture shows"—he would bo proud and happy that she could do it, like other ladies, if she wanted to. That is chiefly what he would covet the better job for. He would want, above all things, to "buy his wife's liberty" from the necessity of serving "woman of brains"—so self- designated. He would release her from servitude in any kitchen but her own, and free her from taking orders from any other man's wife. "And he might very easily get a better job if ,he stayed at home. For workmen are getting scarcer. If he followed his own selfish interest, and sought this better job, tho "woman of brains" would be the first t!o blame him if he still permitted his wife to "work out" after having got It. Sho would then accuse him of wasting his better pay in drink, and making his poor and neglected wife scrub and wash to support him. She could quite understand such a man, having1 sue ceoded in lifting himself up in, the world, wanting to lift his wife with him. "But if instead of staying at home and serving bis own selfish interests, this man enlist*- and goes to war for his country, does he deserve less con slderation than the man who does stay at home and make moneys If he gives up his chance to get a better job In order to do his duty, Is he more worthy of contempt from "women of brains' than his fellow citizen who refuses to enlist and worms himself into this better job, than the self-seeker? Ho goes into danger that you and I may stay safely at home and still live a life of liberty. He offers to risk death for us—yea, even for the "woman of brains" who is so indignant that his wife will no longer Winr in her kitchen. We tell him to bis face that? he is a hero—and yet the moment his work in carrying men and provisions to France,-In spite of the submarines. The doctor paid a high tribute to the Work of the A. M. C. and the Red Cross in mitigating the sufferings of the soldiers. The result of their labors was lhat "trench feet," and typhoid have been eliminated, and the sickness of the men Is just half what it would be at home. Mr. K. J. Dunstan, president of the Toronto branch of the Red Cross so-4 clety, was in the chair, and a number of representative men and women were on the platform. The building was filled throughout and hundreds were turned from the doors. EUISHNESS RULES SOLDIERS AT FRONT Dr. Greenfell Tells of Observations in France—How Men Save Their Comrades "Men were so unselfish that they regarded it as a privilege to crawl over a parapet to fetch in a wounded comrade. It is an atmosphere, in which Christ Himself might walk."—Dr. W.T. Grenfell. Dr. Wilfrid T. Grenfell was ever a man of war, and the conflict In France and Flanders, from which he has just returned, he has found to -be only relatively different from that which he Is about to resume in Labrador. Speaking on behalf of the Red Cross to An audience, which overflowed Convocation hall last evening. Dr. Grenfell told of what he saw of the everyday life on the battle-front. Notwithstanding tlie Immaculate linen and the neat, black evening dress, the doctor could not disguise the soldier, for his ruddy face told of the rough, open-air life whicli ho had shared wltn the British troops. * "War and peace are not so dissimilar as one might suppose," said the doctor in opening his story. "Doing one's bit at tlie front is very much the samo as doing one's bit at home in ordinarily life. Jt takes just as much courage to face everyday problems cheerfully ns it does to face a foe in war, J have .seen men under pitiable conditions in tbe trenches who were more cheerful than men In luxurious homes. I havo looked in tho faces of a good many dying men in these last months, to whom 1 could offer no other help than to take their hand and say, 'Thank God you did your bit when you had your chance."" Soldiers and Religion Speaking of the attitude of the troops to religion. Dr, Grenfell said he could not be sure that they were all nominal Christians, but there was an atmosphere of unselfishness pervading the life a,t the front. "Men were so unselfish that tliey regarded It as a privilege to bo permitted to crawl over a parapet to fetch In a wounded comrade. It is an atmosphere in whicli Christ Himself might walk. Though we are losing men at the war, for every man that falls two new men are made. However many men Canada may lose, ten thousand times as man> would haVe been lost if Canadians at such a time as this should have stood aside and said, 'We are neutral on this question.' I feel a great reverance in tbe face of a Canadian audience when I think of what I saw at Ypres. Aspect of Neutrality "T have met people in the United States who aro so undecided upon the war that one would almost think that Belgium made war upon Germany tp extend her territory! Belgium went to war as Christ went to Calvary; because she believed it was right to do so. I do not know how any man, when it comes to piracy and sins of that kind, can at the end of his life stand before the Almighty and say: 'I have fought a good fight and I have kept the faith and henceforth there la laid up for me a crown of righteousness.' A German Atrocity "I am not going to tell you a lot of horrible stories about German atrocities, but I can tell you one' which I believe to be true." The doctor then told of the shooting of a Belgian hoy of twelve years, who had shouted "Vive la France!" as the German soldiers passed by, mistaJking them for French soldiers. r Newfoundianers Seek Mines Dr. Grenfell said, there were 1,50*0 Newfoundland fisherman trawling for jnlnesaQn the North Sea, instead of for codfish on the const of i>abrador. The* (isHp-men were doing a great PU#J HEARINGS ON I PRICES OF GASOLINE WASHINGTON, D. C, June 8.—The federal trade committee announces that it will hold hearings June 12 and 13 to give the interests concerned an opportunity to explain the rise in the price of gasoline. The committee is investigating tho increase in price under a senate resolution. The report will be submitted within a few days after the hearings. The commission sent letters Friday to refiners, jobbers, pipe line companies and crude oil producing concerns throughout the country asking for any Information they might care to present in addition to that already uncovered by the commission. These letters read: "It Is the federal trade commission's deslro in every inquiry to secure all the facts hnd to draw the correct conclusions therefrom. To this end, having completed a, preliminary tabulation and analysis of tho data concerning the gasoline situation, as furnished by your company and others, the commission will now give to interested parties an opportunity before reaching its conclusions. « "You are, therefore, informed that on Juno 12 and 13 the commission will hold an informal hearing at Washington. At that time any information that your company may care to-present in addition to that already submitted will be received, and any statement concerning your company's cost of production and the Increase in prices will be welcomed. The commission also would bo glad to have your company submit at that time a concise state ment concerning competitive conditions in the petroleum industry, es- pecmlly In regard to gasoline. "At this hearing the commission would desire to ask'certain questions concerning these matters ofryour representatives, and to that end lti Is suggested that hi case your company de sires .to appear It should be represent ed by officers thoroughly famlllarVltJ the executive, accounting, opejaliii and marketing departments of yoj business." > A woman usually'has enough to e*j but she never has half enough cloth*! ond a year ago hexouldnt eat!
