KING FERDINAND IS ABLE TO LEAVE BED BUCHAREST, Dec. 14.—Klnfc Ferdinand, who underwent two operations ln the last few days, for an intestinal affection, was able to leave his bed for several hours today. He discussed state affairs for more than an hour with Premier Avereacu. , until his landing certificates arrived from the Mexican port of destination. Made False Statement Captain Lawson was asked whether or not he had made a statutory dec- .aratlon In regard to tiho cruise of the Trucilla. He admitted that he had, but declared that it waa made as a result of pressure brought on | him by F. R. Anderson of Vancouver. It was this statement which Mr. Anderson later characterized as a lie. Anderson, said the witness, had in- ormed him that the matter was going to be referred to Ottawa, and hat it would be all right for him to nake the declaration. In the declara- .ion, Lawson said that he had landed jn Tumbo" Island because of eng-Ine i ouble, that he was engaged whl e there in storing the liquor so as to balance h.s ship properly, that no car- 30 had been landed, and that he had jailed for Topo obampo. In the first Instance. Later, however, he made another affidavit which he said to*ld the truth. This, after stating that the liquor was to be transferred to tome o:her vessels at Tumbo island, contained the j following two paragraphs: "I have recently been threatened mil informed by Mr. Russell Whlte- aw that if I divulge tho truth tn this ma: ter, my certificate as master would be cancelled within 24 hours. I "ln all previous statements and re- I forts made by mo In the foregoing matter, I have been acting under orders, instructions and pressure brought to bear by A. McOillls, Owner, and llussell Whltelaw, vice-president of the Consolldaled Exporters." Deny Declaration Both Mr. Whltelaw and Mr. Anderson denied the truth of Captain Law- son's story in regard to the declaration. Lawson, said Mr. Anderson, had not been required by him to give the i declaration, let alone pressed to give lt. "Had you any reason, when this declaration was drawn, for supposing the facts In it were wrong?" asked counsel. "No." "Did you bring pressure to bear on him?" "No. That's a He." He had been Informed, said Mr. Anderson, that Lawson was given charge of another ship after the Trucilla, that he had got drunk and was "fired." Then he came and threatened to reveal the truth about the True! la unless given another job. Mr. Anderson said he refused to help Law- son and he believed that the latter made allegations against him in a spirit of revenge. "Did you at any time threaten Captain Lawson that he would lose his captain's certificate?" Mr. Calder asked Ilufteell Whltelaw, vice-president at the Consolidated Exporters.

Disruption of Soccer TRAIL. Dec. 14.—Trail Amateurs, one of the four teams composing the Trail Football club, has been awarded two matches with Spokane soccer tuams. to be played in Spokane on January 1 and 2. This announcement, received by tho team and its manager, A. (Sandy) .VI k«n, filled them, with joy. Tho same announcement, conveyed indirectly to officers and executive memlKr* of the Trail Football club and to players and managers of the threa other teams, filled them with grl«f and some of them with disgust. Hot and bitter criticism was lev- oiled tonight at the manner In which the Amateurs secured the two games for themselves. The Amateurs carried on negotiations with the Spokane soccer football league in secret, and without consulting the parent ind governing body, the Trail* Football club. They carried their nego iations also with the full knowledge that the Trail Football club was also negotiating for the two games with the Idea of sending down to Spokane a team representative ot the tour league teams. Members of the Amateurs • team were present at the recent meeting of the Trail Football club, when the decision to negotiate for play with a representative tsam was decided on. Officara Sets Challenge to Authority Officers of the football club sec ln 'the action of the Amateurs a direct challenge to the football club's authority, and a wedge that will probably disrupt football as a major pport here next season. Already players on the three slighted teams arc declaring thiy will refuse to play against or wi.h the Amateurs next season. Although there apparently is nothing to prevent tho Amateurs negotiating for an outside game, providing they bear ail expenses themselves, it has been pointed out that to stage a re urn game with Spokano teams here the Amateurs must get the sanction of the football club and, ln a measure, the sanction of the Trail Amateur Athletic association, which absolutely controls the disposition ot the Recreation grounds. 1 JOHNSON NOMINATED Prominent Worker MRS.

TRAIL, Dec. 14. -j- In an effort to obtain uninterrupted post office service six full daya each week, and the opening of the post office building for one hour on Sundays to give box renters access to their mail tbe board of trade tonight appointed Alderman J. A. McKinnon, Noblo Blnna and G. F. Prltchard a committee to interview Postmaster J. P. Twaddle on the matter. In tbe meeting the inconvenience to business men and citizens generally, experienced with the closing of the post offioe every Wednesday afternoon, wan stressed. It was pointed out that on those afternoons It was impossible to register a letter, buy a postal order or a stamp, or to receive any class of mail from the wicket. Commercial men unacquainted with the unusual condition of a post office half-holiday were frequently Inconvenienced. On Sundays box renters could not secure mall sorted Saturday night until Monday, the building being locked all day. The board will urge the city council to secure, if possible a reduction in the electric light rates affecting tho lights used In all store windows. This decision followed a discussion of the frequently voiced opinion that store keepers should leave their window lights turned on until 11 o'clock or midnight, to enhance the street lighting system, particularly ln the business section". Favor Idrhting »tore Windows The board members believed all merchants favored bettetr lighting of tho streets, and would cooperate in the Interests of better lighting providing the cost was not excessive. A reduction of 60 per cent has already been granted by the power company in respect of electric street signs. Learning from the provincial minister of public works that a footbridge across the Columbia river, petitioned for by citizens and supported by the board, was being carefully considered by the department, the board refrained from taking further action on this matter for the present. It expected some practical suggestion and data would shortly be forthcoming from tbe department. One member expressed the opinion that the desired bridge being within the city limits would have to be built at the city's expense, possibly with the ass'stance of Tadanac municipality. He favored a recommendatlpn urging the city council to prepare cost data and to define the most suitable type of bridge and the location. It was felt, however, that tho city council was also holding the matter ln abeyance until learning tho attitude of the government.

The'Power of Gold EVents piled thickly upon Judith. Strangely touched, strangely thrilled, she moved through the stirring days.

Drums and flags and blares of music! A nation taking war as a carhlval, almost! Women, busy, chattering, tense. Men, boyish, boasting, excited.

(Dabs more nervous than usual, a strange Dabs with still, withdrawn eyes. She sat across tables from Tommy In 'the Shoreham, the Willard, wattled his gay shining restlessness. Jokes bubbled out of him, sharp little jokes with a poignant flavor of sadness. Pathos and mockery struggled together In him. At one instant he seemed to her as old as the world and* in.the next moment ho was like a very gay, very happy little boy- "Rather gives you something to live for, doesn't It, Judy? Seems to me, now, lookinB back, that I've neyer really looked forward to anything before! Odd, isn't it?" he would say, and in the next breath cry to her reproachfully. "Think what it means to live In Washington! You don't half appreciate it, Judy. Think of rtibbing elbows with all the Big Boys when things like this are going on!" Perhaps sitting on & bench In Potomac park he would say, with a far-away glance, "This lovely, mellow old city! Blue haze and silver light! I'm trying to fasten It in my memory, Judy. There may be times that I shaH want most awfully to remember this smoky blue, this tarnishod silver t" Or he would say, in a low, steady voice, leaning to her with eyes toudhed by shadows, "Will you remember me, Judy? Always? As 1 am how? No matter what they do to me? "Sometimes, Judy, I wonder If you'fe right about the lastingness of love. Does It go on and on forever? Ia that true?

"Sometime? I think of money as a big, yellow shadow that gets between me and the things I want. Like a cloud, you know. It got between my mother and me when I was Just a,little tike. I loved her so then- She was so lovely, Judy. Like a picture, put she had such beautiful frocks and I was rough and mussed them. I often wonder if she would have held me In her lap if she had worn old dresses. I think she would have." It was at such times that the ghost in Judy's heart was still. It seemed to her, even, that perhaps lt was gone forever^ such quiet there was where there had been tumult and unrest before. It was only when Tommy turned to personal things that Judy's being flew defensively to guard the small secret door of her heart. "Let me kiss you, Judy" he cried to her suddenly on a mad night-ride out toward Mount Vernon, "No! I'll take that back! I don't want you to let me kiss you! I want you to kiss me! And do it as if you meant it, too, Judy!" She winced back. "Please, Tommy!" she begged, In a small voice. Suddenly his face twisted. She could see it faintly. She leaned over and laid her hand on his gently, "I'm sorry, Tommy!" she said. "I'm never going to be able to hold you, Judy!" he cried. "I see you slipping from me day by day. How can I hold you, Judy? He want- •ed to tell her that she was like a shadow to him, a shadow of desire and that even as she slipped from him he wanted her more and more.

Anything else he might stoop to, but not to a lie. "I made you a promise," Judy told him gravely. 'I keep my promises!'" "Oh, tyho wants an empty prom ise?" He was shaken with a sicken Ing bitterness. Promises! What would they mean If she once wak ened to love? Wny couldn't he make her come awake for him? Those sleeping eyes, those dreaming, child- lips? Time! That was all he needed! Give him time! But any day now he might be called away from her for weeks, months, perhaps years. What would happen while he was gone? If she only belonged to him!

Yet It can be recalled that some 20 years ago -i ships were destroyed on the Great Lakes in a December •torm. Every second winter or so ocean liners come into New York covered with ice and maimed and battered; and behold, the gale has exceeded anything in the memory of sailor- men. Winnipeg, when it was the new west, W4* particularly addicted to tacking the superlative on to everything. Every winter Superintendent PhilH-Ta of the Winnipeg Electric railway gravely told the newspapers that the blizzard of the moment that Incommoded the street cars was "the worst in the history of the west." There were several of these Worsts every winter, In the older settled portions of Canada the tendency Is rather the other way. The largest or the best or the worst Is always far in the past. Present achievements or disasters are always feeble imitations. The maritimes, with their comparatively home-staying population, with many traditions handed down, Illustrate this tendency, but doubtless the same applies in the portions of Ontario and Quebec subject to least change. Of course, now and again one of these ancient landmarks is undoubtedly of championship caliber. Thua, there are still people alive in the maritimes who were through the Saxby flood, when the predicted gale came on time, and the great tide rose to the predicted heights, pulled by ran association of solar forces that Saxby, the scientist, alone had foreseen while the world laughed at him. Of course, there has to be a largest or worst or best'some time. Perhaps thhi terrible prairie blizzard has really deserved its title.

Some years ago when I wae taking a course ln a famous cooking school, our menu-building teacher told a story about u little boy who came to her for advice regarding his diet. He was an undersized lad of 12 and his great ambition was to be large enough to "make" his school football team. "What can I eat to mafte me bigger?" he asked her. Her reply was this: "Eat shredded raw cabbage with every meal and drink a glass of milk with every meal, as well." The boy heroically followed her advice for six months and the following football season he was large enough to be put on his team. He had grown astonishingly strung and tall In that brief period.

Sleeping Sickness Leas than 10 years ago eleeplng sickness waa practically unknown. Today every paft of the world reports caaet, nearly 1000 in North America alone. Just what caused it, where it gets its start, is at present unknown. Three or four years ago it was thought that It. was in some way related, to Influenza, but it att nks just one or two individuals here and there whereas influenza lays thousands low at one time. Dr. Chas. Hunter of Winnipeg, has collected much information on en- ' cephalitis lethargica a-* It id called. He tells us that cases develop gradually with a dull headache, weakness, and drowsiness, although some are stricken* down suddenly with severe headaches, vomiting, fever, and delirium, with paint ln face, neck-or other parte, and frequently with double vision. This drowsiness gradually gives place to sleepiness,' the patient being practically asleep all the time, but when aroused will answer "intelligently," but Immediately sinks into deep slumber. This lasts for dayj, sometimes for weeks or months. There are twitching movements or Jerklngs which occur in certain groups of muscles. Sometimes the skin and hair are unusually sensitive. It is estimated that three out of four that are attacked recover, but a considerable percentage have symptoms remaining that resemble spinal cord ailments. Unfortunately tho causative organism has nevpr been discovered, and Just how it ^transmitted from one person to another has likewise not been determine^. This makes it hard to take precautions to prevent the spreading. However the treatment ls on a fairly won established basis, which demands absolute rest in bed, even In mild cases. The headache, the twitching, and the drowsiness are treated by the Physician by the usual- methods. This new aliment is baffling at present, byt fortunately it does nof appear in epidemic form, and our reiearch men are likely to discover Its causation and thus its prevention before very long. The fact that It has been' securing In all parts of the world gives research men everywhere an opportunity to study It. Ten Years Ago (From Tha Daily News, Dec. 16, 1*816) Mayor W. a.

Do you get up in the mornirig feeling played-out — often more so than when you went to bed? With no enthusiasm for the day's work—simply tired, tired all the time ? That's no way to live I ' You should do something about it. The tired feeling that follows a day of hard work or strenuous play is normal. It is a natural fatigue which disappears after a night's re5t. But, that tired feeling at the beginning of the day, when you constantly feel worn out and weary without any apparent cause, when your sleep is unrefreshing and you are irritable and easily depressed, is a danger signal warning you that there is something radically wrong. Very often such a condition is the result of a shortage in the body of certain vital mineral substances which the little cells of your bodily tissues utilize in producing the force called vital power which operates your bodily machinery. As steam is to the locomotive or electric power to the radio, so is vital power to the intricate machinery of your body. Without vital power your organs could not possibly function. It i§ when your vital power is low that you feel abnormally tired, irritable and depressed, Normally your blood should derive from the food you eat an adequate supply of all the minerals the little cells require. But it. often happens that your blood fails to do this. Then your power-plants—for that is what these cells really are—failing to receive sufficient fuel, are forced to cut down their production of this necessary vital power. When such a condition arises, you should feed the necessary substances to the blood. WINCARNIS affords a simple and effective way. MMAPt AFtma-torffealm^^^/ is a preparation of these very substances, scientifically combined with other beneficial ingredients in a form in which they are readily absorbed and quickly carried to your little power-plants. Accordingly, if you are chronieatty tired, if yeu lack that buoyant feeling, that vim and vigour which denote robust health, start taking WINCARNIS to-da*^. By taking Wincarnis you will render immediately available to your blood, materials that will quickly be utilized by your tiny power-plants in flooding every organs of your body • with new life and energy.

The barometer of trading on the New York Stock exchange, expected to reach about sixty billion dollara fn market value for the present year, is lndicaied in the soaring price of exchange seats. The low prloe was made In seats ln 1871 when $2750 was paid. For the privilege of playing bull or bear on the floor today, a membership has Just been sold for 1170,000, the top price. Rockefeller-Morgan Profits John D. Rockefeller has a 600 per cant profit on his membership. Few know that the oil man has a seat on exchange. He la understood to have paid about $25,000 for hia membership in 1883, but the oldest trader on the mart does not recall that Rockefeller has even as much as peeped inside the exchange building. His operations there have been conducted through others. J. P. Morgan has been a member of the exchange since 1695 when he bought ft seat far about $18,000. Neither does he appear on the floor. It was a spring day In 1792 when 24 brokers gathered under a button- wood tree in Wall street and subscribed to an agreement to deal In securities—then only the first Federal government bonds and the stocks of two or three banks. Now, 450.- 000.000 shares are dealt in each year. And the- price of seats has kept pace with the increased trading. Valuable Business Amct A seat on exchange has become a valuable business possession. It may be a family heirloom that can be passed on to succeeding generations. The membership is limited to 1100, which number was authorized in 1879 I when 40 new memberships were created to pay for the then new stock exchange building. Thesd memberships sold for something over $5000 each—a low prioe then—and the pur. chasers were often jocularly called "The Forty Thieves." | A nation of Investors from bankers to bootblacks ls the indirect cause for the rising prices of seats.

Many old southern homes wherein have liv- d leading families of the south thereby face selling out •n -satisfy unpaid mortgages. The south Louisiana sugar belt has I'-et all semblance of its former prosperity, as Tar as ihe planters are con-erned. For the last five years hard luck has been the lot of the grower, and this season indicates a poor crop. Many of the cane fields today t- semble a mere rretch of stubble, the plants no more than thr^e or four feet high. MAJOR HOWARD DIES .

Mr. Gardiner postponed any preference to the Imperial conference report until lt waa officially submitted to the house. Budget Did It He reviewed the general election campaign a-nd said he thought the Conservatives were not returned to power because the people attached more importance to laat year's budget and the Liberal legislative program tban they did to the revelation* of the customs probe. He was pleased that the government proposed to proceed with the conetruction of the Hudson Bay railway aa early aa possible. He approved tbe appointment of an expert to examine the beet situation for a port, but hoped this investigation would not interfere with progress in the work uf building the road. The branch line program undertaken by the National railway should be completed with all possible -speed. Order Disregarded Crowsnest Pass rates on westbound as well as eastbound traffic, had been ordered by parliament, yet both railways had disregarded the order. The government, said Mr. Gardiner, should see to it that the railway* conformed to the legislation. No corporation should be allowed to disregard the legislative orderd of parliament In conclusion, Mr. Gardiner said there were some items in the speech from the throne to which the United Farmers of Alberta group would not care to give sanction. Since, however, it must vote for or against the address in reply, they intended to support, reserving the right to criticize in the future. J. 9.

Further; he said, "the declaration as to our status is made by representatives of Great Britain I believe In th* abiding faith and confidence thai Bo common cause will be Imperilled bj the lack of our support." - Mr. Cahan ww in the report a grea Recession to the solidarity of the Em plre.
