LAST OF IE Registration Places to Bo Open from Seven in the Morning to Ten at Night (By Daily News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, April 23.—Tho detailed regulations governing tho man and woman power registration fo te taken •on a day fixed before the end ot June, I make provision for places of regis- I tration to be open from 1 a.m. to ■ 10 pan. Owing to the number of questions which will havo to ho answered, the process of registration will be considerably slower than that of voting at an election. As the number of people to register will greatly exceed the number of voters, a staff of deputy registrars and clerks will havo to bo provided to complete the registration in one day. As already explained, however, provision is made for the subsequent registration of persons who, on account of sickness or for other reasons, are unable to register on the regular day. These persona will be able to obtain registration cards from postmasters and to send them to the central registrar, who will be located at Ottawa. The registration in the Yukon will not take place on the same day as tho rest of Canada, but. a subsequent date to be fixed by the government.

For this department tho committee voted $6,536,778. Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux approved the establishment of labor bureaus .throughout Canada. The establishment of such bureauB was a step In tho right direction, but, In the opinion of Mr. Lemlqux, It did not go far enough. The government should be preparing for the time when peace would be declared. At that tims there was bound to bo a complete disorganization of Canadian industries. Men and women who had beon making munitions would be thrown out of work. The soldiers would be returning from overseas, many of whom had been recruited from the Industrial ranks. Work-.-would have to bo provided ■ for these trion and If this was not done, conditions in Canada might bo very ;ba,d.. The government should first give to the laborers of Canada a bettor techlcal education. vHe declared that M Canada was to take tho lead after tho war In the Industrial ..battle our labor must he equipped to meet the enemy.

LONDON, April 23.—Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster Unionist leader, In a letter to the press says: "The governmnnt Is nn the point of Introducing a heme rule Bill and hive threatened tq leave the'r pests in the hour of national danger unless It Is carried into law. Tho prim*; mlnls< tar says that any pledges which stocd in the way aro to be scrapped because the war had lasted longer than was expected by those who gave t'lom. "It may, perhaps, lead to a cbrrer understanding of the position in wh'ch Uls'cr is placed by this nmem'm'nt to recall the sequence of events in re lotion thereto s'nee 1014." Sir Edward then reviews in detail Ihe history of tho controversy during Ihe war, his rec'tal being devoted to showing that the government hsd bro. ken a number of pledges to Ulster that no attempt would be mado to force Ulster Into a home rulo scheme and that even when the convention met the government gave an und?r- tak'ng that legislation would only be introduced If substantial agreement could be reached an.dthere could be no substantial agreement unices the representatives were assenting parties. He adds: "The prime minister admits now that substantial agreement h"s been reached and the Ulster delegates in a separate report.tell us that no ngree m»nt was reached on nny point ot im portnnce. Yet Mr. Lloyd George an nounces tho Introduction of heme rulo for the whole of Ireland, which tt is generally assumed will be bas"d on the majority report, from which the Ulster delegates unanimously dissented. "Such is the story. The moral I will not attempt to draw." DUBLIN, April 23.—No dlsturba-ces have been reported from anywhere in connection with the labor demonstra tion today. There seems to have been a general disposition to avoid the pos siliility of collision. Thus the Nationalists at Belfast and in other Ulster centres abstained from emphasizing the differences with other Orange fellow workers and went to work as usual, while tho Northern Railway company ran Its trains with out hindrance. In Cork, where the Nationalists have an immense majority and whore work everywhere was stop ped, the Unionists employers bowed to the Nationalist sentiment and closed their factories and stores, The Punchestowh races, a socloty event, wero held according to sched ulo, but as no trains ran there from Dublin, the attendance was affected.

(By Dally News Leased Wire.) SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.—A sensational climax to the prolonged trial of 32 persons charged with conspiracy to foment revolution in India was furnished today when Ram Chandra, Hindu publicist and revolutionist, was shot lo death in the federal district ■ court by Ram Singh, a former employee and fellow defendant. Whilo Singh still pressed the trigger of his automatic pistol he, too, was shot and killed by United States Marshal James B. Holohan, who fired across the room over the heads of the attorneys. The trial started Nov. 20 and the case went to the jury tonight. Belief that Ram Chandra had diverted to his own use proceeds from property which Ram Singh had turned over for use in the proposed revolution, is said by the federal authorities to have prompted tho shooting. The trial, since the opening, has seethed with great oxcitement among the defendants to such an extent that a were searched for weapons daily when entering court. The United States district attorney, John W. Preston, had finished his closing arguments Just beforo the shooting, Judge William C. Van Fleet, announcing that he would charge the jury in tho after noon, had left the bench and entered the chambers and spectators and lawyers rose to leave tho room. At ono side of the bar sat the defendants clustered together, and at the opposite side, by the Jury box, Marshal Holohan watched proceedings. Shot Over Counsel's Head Ram Chandra rose and started across tho room. Ram Singh also rose, raised his pistol and began filing. Ram Chandra staggered forward and fell dead before the witness chair with a bullet in his heart and two others In his back. At the same moment Ram Singh fell, Holohan, man ot great stature, had shot once with his arm high over his head that tho bullet could clear a nearby counsel. The shot broke Ram Singh's neck. Soldiers who have been on duty In court since tho trial opened, immodi ately blocked the exits. Judge Van Fleet hurried baelc Into court, ordered all defendants taken Into custody and tho courtroom cleared. Then he began an investigation which developed that Ram Singh had obtained hi: weapon in the course of a brief re ceBs in the morning session when lie had wondered out into the corridor for a moment. Chandra was 33 years of ago and was born In India. Ho was educated in British schools and did some newspaper work In India until 1007, wh... ho was arrested for sedition. After six months In jail he was liberated for lack of evidence but subsequently was arrested and released four times. Many compatriots at the same time were either hanged or imprisoned for life. From India, Chandra went to Japan and thence to Seattle, Wash., where he remained :>. year and mot liar Dyal. He arrived here In 101.4 and started his paper "Gahdar." In 1017 he was reported to have beon deposed ns editor but he kept on publishing a paper he called tlie Hindustan Gahd ra. The case went to the Jury at 6:03 o'clock tonight.

Earl Reading British ambassador to the United States, declared in an addrcas hero tonight at the celebration of the 14Sth anniversary of the St. George's society of New York. "I have asked myself where stands Britain today," said Earl Readini "After three years of war she stands with unbroken front, unbending, unyielding in this fight for freedom. "Let no man minimize this crisis, This last month has brought Britain tho greatest trial she has ever known. When Germany hnd intimidated Russia Into submission, thus releasing her army in the east, she determined upon the separation of the British forces from their valorous allies—the gal lant, indomitable army of France. We have undoubtedly lost a. great many men, but we have killed a great many more Germans. I believe this battle has welded the armies of France and Britain with indestrucible fastness." Crawford Vaughan, former premier of South Africa, another speaker, paid tribute to the various allies and said of Americans: "I have seen enough of them to know that they will never acquiesce to a patched-up peace."

IF YOU WANT TO GET RESUL JS THY DAILY NEWS WANT ADS, AWFUL ATTACKS OF KEARF TROUBLE EASED BY SECOND DOSE OF Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pill One of the first danger signals announcing something wrong with the heart is the irregular beat or violent throb. Often there Is only a fluttering seneatioa, or an "all-gone," sinking feeling, or, again you may experience a smothering sensation, gasp for breath and feel as though about to die. In such cases the action of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills in quieting the heart, restoring its normal beat and imparting tone to the nerve centres, is, beyond question, marvelous. Mrs, Frank Arseneau, Newcastle, N.B., writes: "I had awful attacks of heart trouble for the past five or Bix years, and as I had tried many kinds of medicine without getting any better, I decided to give Mllburn's Hearl and Nerve Pills a trial, and to my surprise I found ease from the second dose. I continued taking them until I bad used six boxes and- now I feel as well as can he. "At present my sister is taking them for nervousness and finds great comfort by their use.

SI SIX SHIPS TO STOP SUBMARINES (Continued from Page One.) whltt covering uie operations in the north. A force of monitors, together with a large number of very small motor boats, took part in the operation, which was particularly intricate and had to be worked to a timetable und without lights and largely under unknown navigational conditions developed since the war, with the added danger of mine fields. "I should like to mention that the officers who developed the operation were killed. The high development of scientific use of fog or smoke was one of the essentials to consider. It was more fog than smoke, which, combined with wind influences, was essential to the success of the operation, so as to protect the operation from batteries which might have flanked it. "The plan was after an Intense bom- bordment of Zeebrugge by the monitors, the Vindictive was to run alongside the mole and attack it with gunfire as they approached. Storming and demolition parties were to be landed. Meantime three block ships, assisted by motor boats were to make for the entrance to the canal," run aground and bo blown up. Two old and valueless submarines, filled with explosives were to run against the pilework connecting the masonry with the shore, in order to cut off the mole from shore. Mist and Rain Interfere. "At Ostend the operation was more simple, but there the difficulties were considerably Increased by mist, rain and low visibility and the consequent absence of aerial cooperation. "In the reports thus far known, two blockships were run ashore and blown up at Ostend. , It Is t6o early to say definitely whether they accomplished their objectives, but so far as the officers could see in the darkness, thoy were slightly off the course. At Zeebrugge two or three blockships attained their objective, being sunk or blown up at the entrance of the canal. A third grounded while proceeding In. "A certain amount of damage, the extent at present unknown, was done by gunfire and torpedo attack on an enemy destroyer and other craft lying at the mole. Coastal motor boats report having torpedoed an enemy cruiser. One 'of the two old submarines gained its objective and destroyed the piling approach to the mule. "Storming parlies from the Vindictive and the ferryboats attacked under an extremely heavy fire and fought with the greatest gallantry, maintaining their position alongside the mcle for an hour and caused, it Is believed, much damage to the enemy and Inflicted heavy losses. The objectives were storming tlie mole where the enemy forces were holding it and the battery upon It, as well as the destroyer and submarine depots and tlie large seaplane base upon it. Deceives Enemy. "After reembarklng their landing parties, the aforesaid three vessels withdrew. This attack primarily was intended to engage the attention of the garrison on the mole, thereby allowing the blockships to enter the harbor. "The casualties to the personnel as we had expected in a hazardous adventure of the kind, were heavy In comparison lo the number of men engaged. Up to today the British losess are one destroyer sunk by gunfire and two coastal motor boats and two launches missing. "We have sufficient information to show: thnt the entrance to the Zeebrugge canal probably was effectually blocked, that material damage was done and that the greatest credit Is due to all ranks for their gallantry." No Full Details. While full details of tbe attack have not yet been received the information ut hand is to the effect that two of the cruisers were blown up at the entrance to the Bruges canal at Zeebrugge and another sunk while passing tbe canal. \ fj*3T I At Ostend two additional warships were run ashore and destroyed by bombs, but it is believed they failed fully to choke the channel. In addition, considerable damage was done by the guns of the warships to works on shore at both places.

Blew Up Dock Gate LONDON, April 23.—Two destroyers got Insidu the mole at Zeebrugge ana blew up the dock gate, the correspondent at Dover of the Daily Mail reports. The feat, he said, seems incredible, but there appears to bo no doubt about it. Some of the men who took part In it say they saw the waters of the Bruges canal running out after the gate was destroyed and the vessels at their dock straining at ihelr hawsers. Wind Blows Screen LONDON, April 23.—Archibald S. Hurd,- the well known writer on naval subjects, reviewing the naval raid on Zeebrugge- in the Dally Telegraph, says: "The sea was smooth and the wind favorable, but unfortunately the wind changed after the operation was begun, with the result that the ingenuously devised smoke screen was less effective than was hoped and the British casualties were consequently increased. Although the desperate fighting on the breakwater resulted in severe casualties, the losses In the desperate exploit of sinking the ships In the entrance of the canal were very light owing to the skill with which the relief ships were worked." Airplanes Take Part LONDON, April 23.—In the British attack on the Belgian coast, according to reports from the Zealand frontier, transmitted by the Rotterdam correspondent of the Dally Telegraph, several Oerman batlcries at Ostend and Zeebrugge were silenced by tlie bombardment from Ihe sea. There was also much aerial fighting. Tiio attack began at midnight, the report says, and until 2 o'clock in the morn- ng the German batteries fired continuously.

VICTORIA,. B.C., April 23—The taxation act was In committee stage about 10 o'clock last night, the most Important clauses being those referring to tjio taxation of canneries, farms and mines.

Under the new act, farm Improvements are exempted from taxation up to an amount of floOO, while the 1917 act affecting mining taxation Is alferer'. to'a great degree. ' The'lfll7 act taxed m^n'ng' companies 2 per cent oh the output of th'eir ore and In addition 10 per cent'on'the Income, no'allowance was made for development or depreciation" of. smelters or other mining plants.

THIS METHOD WILL GET RESULT8 The method proposed for taking the Dominion registration ot man and woman power seems eminently practical. . It will be compulsory for everyone of the prescribed ages to register on one day, which is to be set, the reg'stration being conducted somewhat after the fashion of a Dominion election. Instead ot going to a. booth to vote, the public will go lo register;,''and Instead ot it being voluntary, the action will be compulsory. Special provision is made for the reg'stration of those who are incapacitated by illness or other r^usc from attending at the places where the registration .la to be conducted. _'The"'government will have to guard against congestion at the registration places. Five or six times as many persons will register as would vote in an ordinary election and the time taken up by each ln registration will be. considerably longer than thai occupied in voting. But it can all be accompl shed ln one day, if adequate arrangements are made, and much moie effect:vely.,and completely than tf the rogistrat'on was allowed to drag .on for two or three weeks or even two or three days. ;■ The -time over which census taking is' always spread is the great weakness of the Canadian system of census-taking. When a man has three weeks in which to do something the tendency Ib tO'delay it until the last minute, and o:ten to forget all about it. MAY NOW GET MORE CORN FROM UNITED STATES - One of the difficulties the Canadian food control board has had to contend wltJi has been the difficulty in securing ah adequate supply of substitutes for wheat, it was for this reason that 3 it was found Impractical to enforce the use of a grade of flour containing grain other than wheat, as has been done in some coun.r.es. Canada had nothing to mix w.th the wheal, hence US standard flour. Corn, fur example, is a grain which i|r. largely consumed in the Untied $.ates as a substitute for wheat. For some time the United States forbade Its qxport. Canada could secure none froin south of the line. This embargo waa" later lifted to somo extent, but up .to tne present time, largely owing to ^'transportation difficulties in the UhTteiT ' States the supply which reached this country was meager. . Now, it is. announced from Ottawa, conditions have Improved and firms desiring, to import corn may do so. It Is necessary, under the agreement be - tween Ottawa and Washington for the lifting of the American embargo on exports, for a certificate first to be obtained from the Canada food board. also releases other and much-needed food tor export to tbe allies. Another misconception which needs constant correction ls that If the war ahould suddenly ceases prices would' immediately fall. Leading authorities agree that prices will be high for a long period after the war. The British navy has scored again. Within a few days the final instalment of Victory bonds will become due The manner In which the payments have been kept up all over Canada ls most gratifying. The kaiser has raised $200,000,000 to build merchant ships, but he won't have any place to sail them until he gets his ocean back. All dressed up and no place to go, as tt were. While the amount of ground gained by the British in their attack near Robecq ls comparatively small the action proves that General Haig's men have lost none of their hitting power. But even should the German offensive prove successful—which it cannot, even on land—the final victory must rest with the powers which have sea domination, the Buffalo News points out. The taxation amendments appear to have failed to ' give consideration to the lumber industry. This business pays a royalty on all the timber It removes, similar to the royalty paid by mining companies on ore, and In addition It has to pay the 10. per cent income tax.. The levy is thus dial. One hundred and thirteen bills have been passed at this session of the provincial legislature. That is al ojetl.e.' too many. Fewer statutes and more constructive legislation is cne of the crying needs of British Columbia, whose lawbooks are cluttered up with dormant legislation of years of par.ia- mentary sessions. ■ I WHAT THE PRE8S IS SAYING Where Did It Go To? Painfully and inc hby Inch the German Relchsbank built up Its gold holdings throughout 1916 and to Jpne 15 last. Then in a month it lost 131,868,- 000 marks, more tl.an all the tain of a year and a half from a campaign of drumming from the people their Jewelery and pocket piecrs. Th's loss measures in part what Germany haa lately had to give up to nearly neutrals as a bolster to Its crumbling exchange in discredited relchsbank notes. And there was mightly little bolstc lag at that. How far also does it m asure Germany's recent expenditure of cor- ru. tion money in Russia?—New York World. COLD STORAGE War; gardens a national necessity : Someone has estimated that Canadian war gardens last year added to the; wealth of the. state upward of 180,000,000. . American gardens are cieaited with producing food last year, worth, in the aggregate, $350,- 000,000. .The productiveness of Nature Is beyorfd calculation. At beBt.stattclans can only approximate the wealth of the soil. The Scots have a saying that if you are good to the soil the soil will be good to you. The cultivation of vacant lots and backwards has risen from a pastime to a woik of national necessity. It is no longer a hobby.

The little maiden was introduced to the officer, but when she shook lands she averted her face. Her mo'.her was puzzled at this strange behavior, and her wonder increased when the little girl brought her Noah's ark and solemnly took out one an.mal after another and broke a leg from each one. Then she remarked quietly to herself, with a side glance at the officer, "Useless things, legs!" What Kitchener said to the English landowner' who, questioned him ls worth rememb ring. "If the Germans should Invade England, what uniform should I wear as a member of the Home League to repel them?" asked the 'andowner. "That suit you wish to be buried in," answered K. of K.

General Maude, in one of his books on military affairs, puM'shod leng be- bofor the war, prophesied t're Prussian campaign of ^rightfulness in the present war. He quoted German military writers, who held that human suffering was not cumu'.at've; In other words, that no more suffering was caused by killing a thousand mien than by killing one. Each suffered Individually, and therefore the practice of war was not more inhumane than tho capital execution of a criminal. This philosophic sophism provided a complete and pseudo-eclentltlc answer to those who denounced the bombing of London or the sinking of the Lusitanla. The German soldier could declare that the death of one man would be Justified If so large a ship cou'd be destroyed, and that the suffering of one man was tho sum of the suffering no matter how many persons were drowned. The theory Is typ'cally German ln mistaking the fact of death for the circumstances of death. The suffering of a slain many may bo momentary. Generally death Is painl-ss. The impact of tho death is up™ the relatives left behind. One is less sorry for a man who has died before his time than for his widow, and his children, for his parents or his sweetheart, To say that Canada is afflicted as much by the overturn'ng of a canoe and the drowning of a careless lad as by the death or wounding of 95,- 000 men at the front is so m?d a sophism that none but Germans oould accept It.—Toronto News. MY8TERI0US ICE MINES. | . There are several caves "in the United States .where nature seems to have become, confused aa. to- the scsons. During the late spring and summer tee forms and a freezing temperature prevails, but as winter comes en the Interior of the caves become milder, the ice gradually melts and a ki.:d of subdued summer sets In underground. One of these peculiar caves ls to be found at Coudersport, Pa., and one at Decorah, Ia. The 'Superstitious among the residents of these localities .give the caves a wide berth and look with suspicion upon any one daring enough to Investigate them. Edwin S. Balch of Philadelphia, who has made a study of the subterranean 'ce mines, as they are called, states that according to the theory evolved by investigators the formation of the caverns is such that the cold air In winter does not penetrate a::d se'.ttc in them until late in Ihe sprl g. at the timo when the water from the spr ng thaws is seeping through the walls and root. This water, meeting tho cold air freezes and stays frozen all Summer until, as the fall season approaches, the warm summer air at last finds its way into the cave and melts the ice. When the snow Is flying above and Ice skating is the amusement of the moment, the summer air is at work In the cave and still water bath ng might be Indulged in by the residents of the community If the envi on- ment were right and if they dar.d. By the time th.s summer air beg ns to lose Its heat it is spring again above ground—Popular Science Monthly. OVER THE TOP. ^ I Frequently one encounters, the question :"What phase of actual fighting makes the greatest exactions upon one's coolness?" I believe popular opinion uccepts actually "going over the top" as the zenith of war t'nv? endeavor, says a Canadian lieutenant. As a matter of fact—and any so'dlei will attest this—the suspense preceding the actual going Is the more nerve-racking. Thore is nothing spontaneous about preparations for a bayonet charge. They are rehearsed behind tho lines, carefully arranged as to time, and made known to the company hours beforehand. Almost invariably they occur Just at dawn,; Those last few minutes before going over tho top are the most trying experience a man may have at the front. Casualties during the charge ltsell are not heavy. I believe our actual losses for one regiment going Oter at Vimy ridge were only 200 m^n. Tilt ntaty losses are entailed after an eu- vtny trench Is taken. Tnen the German artll.ei'y gets the runje of th. nattered trench while we are.'striving to dig ourselves in. The charge precedes the dawn by Just a few minutes, so that one may advance under covet of oarkneBs and still have the advantage uf Uayiignt to repu.se tne counter-attacks wn.ch the eueiuy must .muiediateiy inaugurate. Tho couutet-attuck can.iot he delayed, because every suc^ee-lng mumen. mattes tne. first attacner more s.cure in nis newly won ground.

Louis Kaeraakers, the famous XJutcu ouuuiiibt, uutjd nut ueiiuve tne kaiser .b a leal "man of b.ood and Iron." "lie is too conceited to be a strong man," is the judgment ot this keen observer of human nature. "He puses lor a strung man. He is hollow." Tina opinion will nnd an echo ln the suspicions of many a less uttcntlve observer. Those carefully trained and fiercely cruet mustache points, that mien uf Jove icicus.ng nis uiuuuuruutt, uie Uu:e lit decorations which hie chest thrusts forth, are the trappings of a stage emperor. No man cuuld be mighty us Mr. Huhenzollern looks. - The probable truth of tho matter is that the vain, self-conscious Bmpiror Wllliam, with his sense of divine partnership and his physical Impotence, lis love cf publicity and his lack ot humor, lends himself Ideally to tho purpose of the sinister and elicnt bureaucrats who really guide tbe German machine. An Invalid and a cripple, the kaiser doubtless has a mania for -'blood and iron" In human form (such Is always the attraction ot the unattainable) and he has been able through Imperial insistence to Infect his subjects with his cravings—a very useful propagandist, Indeed, for a military oligarchy. But hardly Napoleonic. We should get rid of the idea that it is the kaiser alone or principally whom we are fighting. When we shout T'ell with Bill" we should use the sacred name symbolically, remembering always that he Is simply the divinely anointed press agent for interest about whose ruth- lessness and might we need have no misgivings.—New Tork Tribune.

Arthur Asqu th, ls reported to have been seriously wounded In France, having reclved a compound fracture of the ankle while reconnolterlng a German position. He has been wounded on two previous occasl'ns, and has a splendid military record. At an early stage of the war he Joined the royal naval division and as a sublieutenant In the Anson brigade parti ipated in the defense of Antwerp. He won his D.S.O., to which lie was r-cently awarded a bar. His high military ajtl'ude Is tetoltened by his ap'd promotion. One of his brothers. Cyr 1, has also been recently wounded.

GERMAN8 STARVE AND ROB ALSACE-LORRAINE Alsace and Lorraine are being milked dry by the Germans while they still have the opportunity to do so, according to authoritative information that has reached France by way ot Switzerland. So clean is the final sweep now being made by the Germans both of everything eatable and usable, that the condition of the civil population despite the fact that Alsace and Lorraine still rank.as German provinces is little If any bettor than that of the inhabitants of Invaded Belgium. All metal that could be used In the manufacture of war materials was long ago taken by the Germans including the church and school bells, organ pipes, door knobs, stills and cooking utensils. Amongst the latest things requisitioned were the famous bells of the Strasshurg cathedral which wero hung in 1805 to replace the historic Sure Way to Get Rid of Dandruff There ia one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely nnd that is to dissolve it. This destroys it entirely. To do this, just got about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply It at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub It in gently with the linger tips, By morning most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every ingle sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.- You will find, too, that all Itching ind digging cf the scalp will stop m- itantly and your hair will bo fluffy ustrous, glorsy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces Ib all you will need.

Not only are the Germans requisitioning all live stock but the inhabitants of Alsace and Lorraine are under military orders with military penalties attached,-not to kill a single food animal. Requisition la also being made of smoked meats, dried fruits, potatoes/ vegetables, wheat and flour. The restrictions have reached a point where .ihe farmers are no longer al- lower either to milk their, own cows or collect the eggs laid, by their own hens. All this Is done by the German soldiers in order that every. particle of food may be controlled and may go j to the German authorities. As, the I farmers no longer have the use of their own milk, butter is no longer to be found. Oil and coffee are also no longer obtainable. These conditions coupled with the liquidation by the Germans of all properties owned entirely or in part by French capita} nnd French people have reduced the position of the civil population to one of half starved and abject misery.

A, Calder said thure was no danger pi overlapping. AL tre con- fprence of representatives of tint provincial governments ami the federal ssoverntnent j[ wuh decided that thu work of fistaljlishliu; these bureaus was better demo b;; tlie provinces w.th federal aid than by the federal tfovern- nient. The samo view had obtained In the conference between representatives of labor and the government. If the federal and provincial authorities .vonkt get together there was no necessity for any duplication of work. Sir Wilfrid Laurler wanted to know if it would not be possible to place (he amounts which would bo granted to •ach province In the bill. It was simply provided that the amounts were .to be a matter of agreements between the parlous provinces and the federal government. This seemed rather vague. . Air. Calder was not in a position to give information on this subject. Mr. Grothers said that the general character of the agreement between provinces and. tho federal government was set forth iu tho bill. The amount asked for, for tlie establishment of .lie bureaus was ?50,000 for the first year; ?iu0,0ij0 for tbe second year and, $150,000 for the third. " Hon. W. S, I'i'cldihg asked how the' federal government proposed to allot tho money to tho different provinces, Thu total amount to be divided in tho first year was only $50,000. He was neartliy in favor of the idea and appreciated the fact that the governmont, wanted to encourage provincial au-l Jiorlties to establish and maintain la-' oor bureaus but the encouragement ho felt would not bo very great if no Jefinito allotment was made to each' province ,.■ | Mr. Crotheis explained that the money would "bepaidtotho provinces it tho close ot each year on tho basis of the amount spent by each. The idea' was to grant each province ono half of the total amount which they had expended tn connection with the bureaus, Mr. Fielding oontended that If the #50,000 was not enough to go around, some of the irrbviiicaH' wonld find themselves with-very httla of tho federal overnmont's grant. Sir Wilfrid Laurier askod the minister of labor If he had mado an estimate of the expenditure.which would bo required and Mr. Crothcrs replied that it was very difficult to make any estimate Tho bill was reported. After sqme. discussion, during which many members appealed for protection of Indians, a bill to amend the Indian act was-reported. In the main it provides for tho withdrawal of Indians In special cases from their present conditions and the erection into the- conditions of citizens. Di cuss Canned Goods Act Hon. T. A. Gre'rar*s bill to amend the Meat and Canned Foods act was, considered in committee. E. Wr^-Nesbttt- said that there hnd been a great deal-ot-complaiat-about canned foods put up by our own canneries in Canada for tha armies; at tho front. He asked the minister what pro\l.-lon for inspection of the products was. made by the government. The minister of agriculture stated that there was an inspection by officials of the department who visited the canneries at any time to soo that the foods were up to standard. Ia addition to this Inspection, however, tho British authorities conducted a very strict examination of all canned goods sent overseas and 20 per cent of their value was withheld until they had been opened for use In Franco. A, R. McMaster asked If there was any reg'latton providing that the weight of the contents of any package or can be spec fled on the label. Mr Crerar replied that there was no legulation to this effect. The con tents of the package or can must bo pure and f:t fer co sumption. The bill was reported and given third reading. The house went into supply on the fstimates of the customs de;.artment. An itfin of Hr'>'5,000 to provide for salaries, traveling expenses of inspectors and other miscellaneous charges, caused some criticism. Hon. A. I,. SIfton explained that the total amount aslted for was the samo as last year.. A. R. McMaster, Brome, drew the attention of the minister to the extravagance which he said prevailed in the department, Th.' public works estimates will be taken >ip in supply tomorrow.

WHYDREAiM OLD-';:AGii;f" IT should be the pleasantest time of life and if coupled with good health it is. Many of our most remarkable men and women have won fame and prominence after reaching the sixties, and in lots of cases they have not been robust in youth. The secret of health in old age is tlie prevention of bowel disorder. Constipation is the foe lo be dreaded. Care in diet is necessary, also the avoidance of harsh cathartics, which only aggravate the trouble. The ideal laxative for aged people is Chamberlain's Tablets On account of their mild and gentle action, you hardly realize that a medicine has been taken.

When you think you are about cured of one, another1 seems ready to take its place and prolong your wretchedness,, AU the poulticing and lancing you may do will hot cure them ana stop more earning'. Boils arc simply bad blood bursting out. and the bad blood must bo made pure, before the boils disappear. Burdock Blood Bitters is the greatest'blood purifier known. It cleanses tbe system and removes every particle of foul! material from the blood, then ncver.another boil comes and the cure is permanent. "Mr. George Ayers, 302 Gloucester St., Ottawa, Ont., writes: "I wish to tell you what I know about your wonderful Burdock Blood Bitters. In the spring I suppose my system needed cleaning out, for I had nine bolls come on my neck one after tho other. I quickly got a bottle of B.B.B. and before it was half finished I'felt a great change and it certainly put an end lo my boils,.otherwise I might have had a lot more. IVecommend B.B.B. to all 1 can for'I know it to be a great remedy." IN THESE STIRRING TIMES NO ONE CAN AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT A DAILY NEWSPAPER.

This decision was arrived at by the privileges and* elections committee of the house this morning, it liclng stated that Mr. Congdon was using his best endeavors to get out of the territory and was at present at White Horse waiting for a steamer to'take' him to the British Columbia city. If Mr. Congdon reaches Vnn- -ouver at that time, the committee will proceed with the.case. Hon. Arthur Meighen pointed nut 'hat Mr. Congdon had made a definite Submission to the committee aud there was nothing new that wou'd be Srought out if he came. He could not "eo any reason why either of the in- 'crested parties should be present. Ir '■'is opin'bn It was a technical point ■>f law which could be argued immo- .1 lately. ■W.
