OTTAWA, May 23.—That the forces of the department of Immigration and colonization were being OCSWll-Md to admire fur Canada a fair percent- nge of agricultural workers, farm laborers and household servants from Oreat Itritain, the Scandinavian countries and to a certain extent from the continent of Kurope, was stated In the commons tonight hy Hon. Charles Stewart, minister of the interior, during the course of a statement on "the government's immigration polley. Thf occasion waa a vote of $2,0(i8,l!»0 for immigration and colonization. Mr. Stewart emphasized the point Ihat it was not wise nt the present time to encourage large numhera of ImmlKrants, other than the claws mentioned, and particularly those who would have to maintain themselves hy manual labor. Seeking Oriental Solution With regard to oriental Immigration, Mr, Stewart declared that he was attempting to find aome solution In order to meet the wishes expressed hy memhers during the recent debate on the -question. He sympathl7,ed with Hrltlsh Columbia memhera In their efforts to maintain as large a white population in their province as possible. Ijist year IfiOO children were brought In while there were applications for 15.000. Australia and South Africa were both offering keen competition for Immigrants and were making ever- increasing inducements. It was possible that the government would have to ask for an increased grant for the purpose of keeping up the .work. Efforts were being made to secure immigrant* from the I'nited States and a special effort was being pm forth to Induce Canadians to return to Canada. It was probable that a hirKe number of desinible farmers would he secured from this source this year. The country was heing asked to pay large sums for the maintenance of the railways and one of the best methods of overcoming this Hituation was to settle people on the land. Misa Agnes Md'hail. Progressive, Southeast Grey, did not want any more immigrants "who wore sheepskin* coats," unless they had better ones at home which they were saving. Canada did not need newcomers who would lower the standard of living on the farm. Farming today had become a luxury, many people left becanao they could not stay any longer. Ontario waa losing her rural population at an alarming rate. Prosperous Settlers Best Agents Hon. T. A. Crerar said immigration was badly needed and ho would support the government in Us efforts to secure good immigrants. Hut it must be remembered that the best immigrant agent was a contented and prosperous settler, and the government should seek to Improve agricultural conditions An item of $fi40,000 for outside immigration service salaries was approved. The remainder of the voto was allowed to eland ovr at the request of R. Jt Manion, Fort William. HON. W. 8.

The Weather OTTAWA, May 2.3.—Not a scat was vacant in the house today when Hon. W. S. Fielding arose to present the first bud- pet of the present administration, but his sixteenth as minister of finance. When Mr. Fielding last made a budget statement, 11 years ago, his story was one of bounding prosperity. Today, as an aftermath of war, it was because of the gravity of the financial situation that he stressed the necessity of debt reduction, the necessity of making his budget balance. He had reductions to announce in customs duties, but he had likewise some sweeping increases in taxation. He pfeaded for the "deep and earnest need" of economy; he urged that* members of parliament and the people alike should pass a self- denying ordinance. "I would not, however," Mr. Fielding hastened to add, "have anyone* ■ draw the impression that I take a gloomy view of the situation. There is, happily, a brighter side." For the fiscal year 1922-2^ he Mimmarlted the financial situa tion In this way:. Ksiinuiied revenue. |3$?.-$29.flfl0; estimated expenditure, -|46tt,Mt,a59, Operation May Be Painful Tim in«lud.-4] nn estimated forty million reduction In the revenue from In-dtiie tav, the total revenue being bused on existing taxation. How wa** the financial equilibrium to he established? The operation might be painful, but it h.id to be faced sqinrely. In the first place. Mr. Fielding had some 60 tariff reductions to an- umce. Increasing In a largo meas- e the ferttM preference. Again Increases Sales Tax. Hut what of new taxes? Here Mr. I i*Ming had an Increase of no less than 50 per rent to r.nnounco in tho] sab-s tax, a tax which last year was heavily Increased. He had either new or increased taxes to announce on passenger automobiles, confectionery, I"*, r, cigarettes, checks, bank circulation, Insurance premiums paid unlicensed companies, telegrams nnd cnhles. mineral waters ond transfer of stock. Mr. fielding referred to his recent reciprocity negotiations at Washington. "We shall be open at nil times to friendly negotiation," exclaimed Mr. Fielding, '•but whether Canada was to extend tariff reductions to tbe United Sintes would depend on the altitude of the rnitcd States. Depends on United States. "Until we have a clear understanding of what our American friends nre going to do," ho added, "we are going to hold our hands as regards th»> United States." Ho concluded on nn optimistic note, with expression of the view that the worst of commercial and Industrial depression wns over. Everywhere thero wns hope and confidence. "Let us pray." Mr. Fielding pleaded, applause echoing his words, "that enp- Ital and labor mny aliko recognlr-e their responsibilities, that they may put aside every temptation to play a selfish part, and cooperate In efforts which will mark Canada In the world as a land of peace, and progress and prosperity." Farm implement^ chiefly imported from the Unll-M States, wer* to come down from 2 1-2 to 5 p»»r cent. There were similar reduction* on implements and materials used In dairying, lumbering, mining and plumbing. Tho Hrltlsh preferential tariff would he reduced on certain textiles, on boots and ahoen, on clothes wringers, on window shades. There was n R per cont reduction In Ihe preferential tariff on collars nnd cuffs. Thero was i reduction in the preferential tariff on coco.» The following gives the budget In hrief: Tariff reductions combined with Increases In special taxes. Hrltlsh preference increnaed on many Items. Few reductions on Imports from the United St-ile* Kelt-en I Nisi K-ewlon** Acts.

LAPOINTE, Proprieter Nelson's Best Cafes When your liver becomes sluggish and Inactive your whole health suffers. Your bowels become constlpat- l1, the tongue coated, tho breath bad, the stomach foul and sick, and bilious spells occur on account of the liver holding back the bile which is so essential to promote tho movement of the bowels, and the bile gets Into the hlood, instead of passing out through lhe usual channel. The only way to keep the liver active and working properly, and thus ret rid of ihe nasty bilious attacks, s to keep the bowels regular by using MILBURN'S LAXA-LIVER PILLS They are purely vegetable, -small and asy to take, work smoothly and gently, and there is nothing of the griping, weakening, sickening effects of the old fashioned purgatives.

Smith, won the Senior competition; Hume school, through IttM My raid Morrison, won tho intermediate, and Central school, through Jimmy Benson, won the Junior, while Mayor McHardy presented a personal prize of a silver pencil to Mls-s Nancy Trail of the high school, who was the author of an essay that the Judges regarded very highly, but which was considered ineligible for consideration because It dealt chiefly with other parti of the Hattle of Arras thnn Vlmy Ridge. The report of Mr. Thain, who Was secretary of the competitions for the O. Wi V. A., which was in the hands of Major Anderson, pointed out that no one knew the author of any essay until the judges had rendered their report, the decoding having taken place Monday.

I '.-.-Ji.-ts Are Road. Tho first essay read was that of ■Miss Smith, who view the tempestuous but orderly strifo on bloodstained Vimy from an airplane, nnd gavo an impressionistic but coherent view of the great action, In which the Canadians wrested tho ridge from the Germans, but at great cost. A. W. Graham thrilled the Juvenile audience with tho ringing eloquence of the vocal solo, "The Veteran," Miss Helen Hodgson accompanying him on the piano. To tho enthusia.«tlc encore he responded with the favorite, "The Company Sergeant-Major.'* Miss Morrison then read her essay, which waa less original ln conception than the preceding one, but a very well balanced and thorough account of the action that led the French nation to offer Vlmy Ridge to Canada In perpetuity. Jimmy Benaon, winner of the junior section, reed an essay that for tersness and for picturesque description could not have been orcellefl. It was very compact and well put together.

Major Anderson, in thanking tbe young essayists for their efforts, heartily congratulated them on their success, nnd stated that the Judges reported having hod the greatest difficulty in arriving at their decisions because there were so many excellent essays. He also conveyed a warning to the hoys to be up and doing, or the girls would have all tho honors.

It is the clay upon which all British subjects, even if unconsciously, bow before the altar of the greatness and strength, material and moral, of the Empire upon which the sun never sets. The war emphasized to a peculiar extent the strength of the bonds which bind the various parts of the Empire together. From all quarters of the globe, Britishers sprung to arms to defend the flag •Mich is the emblem of the Empire to whieh they give their allegiance. Peace time differences, the differences which must occur in any rally healthy family, were forgotten. The Empire was menaced and her sons and daughters united in her defense. Today the war is over and peace time differenes are to some extent revived, but they are still the differences only of the healthy family, squabbling a little, bickering occasionally, but at heart united. Hall the Majestic According to a proverb, large bodies move slowly. But it does not fit the modern steamship. As long ago as 1911, the Mauretania, then the biggest of transatlantic liners traveled 676 knots in 24 hours, making a record that has not been equaled. A week ago, on her last voyage westward, the Mauretania did 27 knots an hour for a while. Conditions have changed since the record day's run, Which was made at an average of slightly more than 28 knots an hour. Now she uses oil as fuel; 11 years ago she burned ■coal. The change should make for more speed, but it is scarcely likely that this fine old craft ■will retain the leadership. Indeed, the challenger for speed honors is in New York harbor, having made its maiden run across the ocean faster than any other first voyage. The Majestic did 26 knots an hour part of the time. When her machinery is worn in and everything else adjusted, she ought to leave the Mauretania as far behind in speed as she does in size. The new White Star liner is a larger vessel by 24,0*00 registered tons than the pride of the Cunard fleet. Not a great many years ago a 14,- 000-ton ship was gigantic. It is idle to speculate on the further progress that may be made in steamship construction The limit of size has been reached several times, but the limit in each instance was fixed by the then known factors of Bafety and the development of the engine builder's art. A limit is always a challenge to the bold. So every time the "last word" in ocean-going craft has been launched some one has made a new discovery that permitted building larger and tra veling faster. The Majestic may have but a brief day of supremacy, probably will have. But while she holds the top position she will merit the wonder bestowed on her. One time, it may be, a dream frequently indulged in will come frue and the Atlantic ocean be bridged. Or the development of aviation may provide a means of transportation more satisfactory than the luxurious steamers of the present. But until one or the other has driven ships off the seas people will feel a vast pride in the swift •carriers of man and his goods of which the Majestic is the finest example.

Tou will find the meat dish In the following dinner menu a little out of the ordinary and therefore an appetite tempter: Steak-Kidney Tie New 1'otatoes ]'ean Coffee Rhubarb Tie Steak-Kidney Tie: Cut one pound of raw steak Into very small pieces with a sharp knife nnd brown these pieces In the frying pan with a little bacon fat, then cover \nem with boiling water, add a me-dlum-Hi7.<*» raw onion sliced finely, und let simmer for one-half hour. Now add two lamb's kidneys, al.no cut small, and salt and pepper to suit individual taste. Let it continue to simmer until both the steak and the khlneya are tender nnd the liiuior ln tho frying pan ia reduced to about a cupful. Then thicken the mixture by stirring Into it two tablespoons of flour mixed to a paste with cold water, and turn all into a baking dish or casserole. Add one-half teaspoon of Worcester sauce for flavoring (if liked) or one teaspoon of lomato cutsup, and cover tho dish with the following potato crust: Mix one heaping cupful of creamy cooked, mashed potato with one tablespoon of melted butter, one- half cup of sweet milk, and one-half cup of flour which ha-s been sifted wlih one heaping teaspoon of bakitig powder. Rru.«h over with more melted butter and place the pie in a hot oven till well browned. Serve hot. Rhubarb Pie: Rent one egg and add to lt a cup of granulated sugar, one cup of rhubarb sliced Into very small pieces, two soda crackers rolled fine, a pinch of salt, one-half cup of chopped seeded raisins, one-half tea- Bpoon of ground nutmeg and two heaping tablespoons of butter cut into tiny pieces. Line a pie pan with uncooked pastry, turn thia rhubarb mixture Into it, and cover the top with stripa of uncooked paatry laid lattice-fashion. Rake 35 minutes in a hot oven. (This raclpe answers R. V. T.'s letter.) Another fine de-ssert to serve nt this time of the year la: Strawberry Trifle: Lino a glass dish with alternate layers of macaroons and sugared strawberries, dipping both into a little uncooked white of egg to make them adhere. Now make a custard by heating one and one-half cups of sweet milk with n pinch of salt and one-third cup of sugar, then ndding the beaten yolks of three eggs and stirring until thickened. Let cool, then pour this custard over the lined dish. Whip the egg whites till stiff and drop it by spoonfuls Into a pan of hot milk; when these little "floating Islands" are steamed so that they hold their shape well, skim them off the top of the hot milk and place them on the pudding. I'ut one whole strawberry, with stem and hull, on each little white puff. This dish not only looks attractive, but is delicious. Tomorrow—The Housekeeper Who "Hns Ideas."

(iWc By Wood Cowan Among the real finds in this season's crop of m-ruils, Andy High ranks along with the best, I-ast year with Memphis. Andy wns the beat third baseman in tht- Southern league, As lea J-off man he hit for u .320 average, and that's some feat at the head of u lineup in any league. He scored the most runs fr.r his team and drew more than 100 pa sues, At the training camps Andy fielded the far corner better than Jimmie .lohslone and had that veteran struggling |0 hold his regular position. The opening of the season found Andy shifted to short, where he has plnyed u sensational game from the start. Hla hitting of biff league pitching for a higher average than his minor leoffue record leaves nothing tu be desired. Bobby Robinson thinks High Is one of Iho best infielders in the National league right now. Lawyer feea Traveling expenses .
