LATORNELL District Manager Office: 220 Baker Street OTTAWA, Dec. 17—A seasonal tariff on.fruit, vegetable* and nursery stock entering Canada was proposed and opposed in a two day hearing which came to an end today before the tariff advisory board. Growers In Ontario and British Columbia were the principal supporters of the application. Among the written protests against the proposed higher tariff were one from the American Fruit I and Vegetable shippers association, of Chicago and another, Andrews and Knowles, Mount Olive, N.C. The hearing came to an end with the! reading of a brief from tho Canadian council of agriculture, opposing on p lnclple, any increase in the protective tariff. No judgment was given by the board. Communications from many other associations throughout, were read into the refcord for and against the proposal. Grower^, packers, florists, jam makers, nursery men from Ontario and Quebec supported, some with modify .cations of, the proposal 'aa submitted. The chief opposition came from rep-, reaentatlves of the grain growers in Ontario and western Canada, ' The point was raised as to whether the Ontario farmers concurred with the opposition o* thel^ western brethern. A. E. Darby, for the Canadian council of agriculture, said that the council Included -the farmers of Ontario and that the United Farmers of Ontario, now in convention in Toronto, had juat l'Msged a resolution opposing the princlp'e of protection. The hearing concluded with a series of sftbrt addresses from supporters Is OifVial S.

Judy put.out a hand and steadied herself akalnst the wall. "Where?" Bhe brought the word out sharply. "Darrow Oinoy's studio. He's seen some of my work some place, he says." ' Very slowly Judy asked. "Where could he have aeen any of your work, Honey T" Honey's small face had Its own moment of troubled thought. Then It cleared. "I've given a lot of sketches to people in my time," she said, "There are hundreds of places .he might have seen some of my work!" She looked at Judy almost crossly. Judy nodded absently. "I suppose you're right," she said. "I Juat wondered " 'Wondered what, Judy?" Dabs asked. Judy shrugged. "Nothing!" ahe said and she bent and caught Hon- ney to her tn a big hug. "I'm so glad! So glad!" she cried. But a little later she drew Dabs aside. "What does lt mean?" she asked him. "I don't know." - His voice was worried. "Right out of a clear sky she got the letter from Darrow 01- ney. It doesn't sound sensible, but so far as I can see lt ls all open and aboveboard." Judy's heart sank. "Suppose there's a catch in it some place?" she said ln a dull tone. Blabs' face tightened to a cold grlmness. "There mustn't be catch In HI" he said quietly. "It would kill her now!" "But suppose there should be?" Judy persisted. Dabs gave her a quick, searching glance. "What is lt you are afraid of?" he asked her. Afraid? That was It, precisely. There was a cold little fear tugging at her heart! What was this fear? That this exhibition wasn't honest? "I wondered " she begin, as she had begun with Honey, and then paused. "Wondered what, Judy?" "I wondered if the exhibition was honest!" "What do you mean?" Judy was astonished at the fierceness of Dabs' face. She put her hand on his arm swiftly. "Don't look like that!" sh* cried. "I only meant that perhaps somebody was financing this exhibition! And lt didn't seem to me that It/would he quite honest then." "I don't care whether It's honest or not!" Dabs said ln a very low voice. "If Honey wants lt I want her to have lt. I—I enly wish I had been able to give lt to her myself!" "But Honey wouldn't want it If lt wasn't honest!" Judy waa flaming In her defence. k "I—wonder. Perhaps she wouldn't!" Dabs' eyes were troubled.

On Its eastbound trip from Nelson in the morning lt carried 40 passengers, which Is a goodly list. In both cases, teachers home bound for the Christmas vacation swelled the list. Captain Walter Wright also brought over from the Landing 600 sacks of mall*, and a whole carload of express. Owing to the Crow train being behind schedule, the Nasookin did not dock here until practically midnight. In consequence the Kuska- nook did not make tha usual wait at Procter, but proceeded on the Kaslo run without waiting for the passengers from the Crow, of whom there were many. Soma 15 or so disembarked at Procter, Instead ot coming on into Nelson, their idea being that it might be arranged for them to motor up to Kaslo during the day. camping and pioneering. He stated that the first camp of scouts he held was In Hatfield Park on the premises of the Marquis ot Salisbury. This was their camping grouml during the summer vacation, Easter holidays and week-ends until he left to come to this country early this year. Mr. 'Powell said that although "roughing it" was a good thing tor tho boys, other matters should be taken into consideration, especially that of becoming useful citizens. Loyalty to scout officers, he said, was like the cooperation of a crew of a boat In a race; if all worked together they were bound to come out on top. * In a brief word to'the parents of scouts, Mr. Powell said, that If they showed a personal interest and a keenness in the movement, the boys would naturally show a like interest. Before Mr. Powell spoke, W, Coleman rendered a banjo solo. Later, a song by A. Hutchinson, accompanied by P. G. Morey on the piano, wa»| followed by a recitation by Miss I Ruth Allen. Presentations The Heut. W. J. Clarldge shield, a trophy going to the troop with the highest attendance and the largest number of points for medals won, was presented to the Wapiti patrol of the third Nelson troop of boy scouts. This handsome trophy is heart-shaped with two scouts depicted in the act of building a camp fire, and is engraved each year with the winning troop's name. This is the second year in succession that the Wapiti patrol has held the shield. The members of the Nelson troop vera presented with individual medals, in recognition of their winning of the first aid championship contest tor the province. The members of the troop are J. Hall, B. Boyd, N. Rhodes and G. Stibbs, captain. This championship has now been won two successive yearn by this troop. An interesting feature of the ceremonies was the presentation of an assistant scout master's warrant to Laurence George of the First Nelson troop, the first Nelson boy scout to win this honor. Address to Crebbln W. C. Crebbln, secretary-treasurer of the association for the past three years, was presented with an illuminated address by the Nelson scouta on tho eve of his retirement from that position. Mr. Crebbtn Intends to leave for Cranbrook, where he will spend Christmas. He then plans to take up his residence in San Francisco. Mr. Crebbln's departure will be felt keenly by the boys with whom he has been associated here, and also by his many friends ln the city. He has devoted himself untiringly to the scout movement for the past IS years, and his efforts have been awarded as can be seen by the results accomplished by the Nelson scouts since his sojourn here.

(A.P.) —Inquests into four deaths attributed to poison liquor, were railed here to'day. "Edward "-Glenn, an American, was found dead In a Nelson hospital yesterday.

A Province That Is Paying Off Its Debt A recent statement by Premier Ferguson of Ontario, respecting the bringing of order out of ch»os ln Ontario's finance-", and the provision for extinguishing the province's debt In 40 years, was derided by W. E. N. Sinclair, Liberal leader, ln the course of the late campaign. As a matter of fact, Premier Ferguson's assertions were literally true. The spendthrift era of the Farmer •government left a legacy of new debt for the Conservative government to shoulder, but reforms and economic* were instituted by the new uoyerg- ment that coped with the problem of current financing. Further, for the first time in Canada a government laid down the fiat that the debt must henceforth diminish by stated Instalment.', ami made provision for the setting aside annually of sinking fund adequate to the object sought. No man ever became unpopular by paying hlB debts, or injured his own material Interests thereby. The same rule applies to communities large and small. Should Mr. Sinclair at some future date be entrusted with the administration of Ontario's affairs. It will be hla privilege to loyally follow out the debt reduction policy inaugurated hy present Ontario government.

This applies not only to crop weather that will be experienced, but alto to fl- naneU! changes and crop acreage adjustments that fhould and prnhably Will take place. Two of the greatest interests of North America have been put In Jeopardy—the entire cotton industry and those corn raisers who were not in a position tn marked their crop on foot.

Poisoning From Teeth Fillings - Men working In Industries where mercury ls used are naturally the usual victims of rnercurial poisoning. That is in surgical goods, mining, paints, thermometers, hats, furs, and so forth. However, an unusual discovery is reported ftom Europe. A research physician working dartly In a laboratory where there were many chemicals, noticed that he and his colleagues were suffering daily from a light form of headache, found themselves irritable and easily fatigued, together with a little cold in the head that seemed to he always present. Jn searching about for a cause he discovered that they were all suffering from mercurial poisoning due to the mere presence of mercury In the laboratory- Another research man discovered it was possible for individuals with bid amalgam fillings in the teeth, especially the combination of copper with 'mercury, to absorb- enough mercury therefrom to poison tho system- The symptoms usually come on slowly, the victim gradually becoming sallow in appearance, with 0 n irritable stomach. The gums become ■spongy, and sometimes a bluish line Is seen on the gums, similar to that in lead poisoning. The appetite Is poor, and there is headache, giddiness, and a numbness of the limbs. The mental . outlook becomes do- pressed, which with loss of appetite, takes moat of the fight or courage out of the victim. There ia a disturbance of the muscles of the face so that the mouth muscles draw back as '.n attempting to show the teeth. Now although you are not likely to die from having some old amalgam fillings in the teeth, you can see how some of your loss of energy may be due to a slight slo\y poisoning from them. , Fortunately, as this research worker points out, the complex mixtures RETIRED AND SUCCESSOR __m 1 Ur'-t^aHH __$l_ ■- __t\ Bm 1 m AH Left, Dr. W.

Christian civilization dates from that event and since then has raised motherhood and childhood to the highest plane in the estimation of the western world. For the sake of mothers and their children, men to5 and plan, sacrifice and endure. For the sake of mothers and children, men established the great institution of life Insurance. By Lite Insurance—in Canada and the United States alone —the continued safety and comfort of women and children is secured to the extent of nearly eighty billions of dollars and this great institution is intimately connected with the Advent. Could such a system as Life Insurance, with its primary motive the protection of women and children, be possible today had not the pagan ideals of decadent Greece and Rome been superseded by those of Christian civilization?

Dec. 17—Confiscated liquor to the extent of 41 cases and valued at 11650 has been returned to the Consolidated Exporters as result of the decision given by Judge J. R. iirown who heard the appealed case at Ore-en wood the hearing lasting all day Wednefdy. On September 28 Major J. H. Johnson and other provinc'al "dry squad" officers made a careful search of the ra-gch of I.

Deljsle waafEDunk and Mrs. Conway should have haled before Major W. H Olossop of Kettle Valley and J. R. Ferguson of Midway at Greenwood, two Justlcfs of the peace, on September 80 and was fined $50 for having unsealed liquor in his possession; and In addition all the cased liquor claimed to have been a shipment of liquor from the Consolidated Exporters In transit was ordered confiscated to the crown. Appeal Decision The Consolidated company, through C. F. R. Plncott. solicitor of Grand Forks appealed against the decision. In his decision Judge Brown held that the liquor was a bona fide shipment aud legally in possession of Mr. Delisle as a "common carrier" for which he holds a licence. Defence went to show that the shipment had been ordered in the usual way; that all formalities ln making of customs papers and shipping bills had bt*en completed. The shipment had been taken to the Dellsle ranch by Jack Ken- yon, licenced as a common carrier, but who, on arrival there found that he bad forgotten to take the papers. He returned to Grand Forks to get the papers, but his car broke down, and by the time the papers were got to De- llsle's next morning seizure had taken place. , One Oaa* Crop* Up An Incident to the defence was that the prosecution at the preliminary hearing, claimed that they had only found 40 cases of hard liquor the inference being that the papers presented hy the Consolidated Exporters were either wrong or that one case of liquor had disappeared in some Illegal way. Defence later made search and found the mlsfing package on the Deliele ranch. It was offered to the court for examinatlcn to prove that It was a portion of the original shipment an accordance with the invoice* information not being available either prosecution or defence without examination. The package was opened and supported contention of the defence. Tlu court order the restoration of the liquor but conviction against Dellsle stood as to the $50- fine for the two bottles of wine unsealed which were found in his home. H. W. R. Moore of Greenwood acted for the crown and C. F. R. Pincott of Grand-Forks for defence.

LEGAL NOTTCES 2& VICTORIA, Dec. 18.—A demand that the legislature take "drastic remedial action" to curb the use of campaign funds in British Columbia and that the liquor control board be made absolutely independent of all political control le voiced In a leading editorial ^n the Victoria Dally Times, one of the ataunchest liberal papers In western Canada. Tho editorial caused a feenshtlon ln political circles today. Under the caption "Trail of tho Serpent," the Times said: "It may not be within tho power of the royal commission investigating the customs to pursue the slimy trail af political campaign contributions by liquor interests to an end, but It has disclosed enough already to demand drastic remedial action from the legislature, "It has been shown out of the mouths of various witnesses that large sums have been paid to political parties, and there can be no doubt that the commission has merely touched on tho fringe of these and kindred subterranean activities. "One witness described these (payments ns protective. What did they protect and what were they expected to protect? If these interests are operating within the law, why should they make political contributions for protection ? "Everyone knows that campaign funds are required by political parties and that they are quite legitimate as long as they are not given tor impro;>er purposes, but we would imagine that the last source frpm ■Aihich political parties which wanted io keep themselves clean would accept assistance of this kind would be elements engaged in a traffic, some of ugly and unsavory features of which iiave been revealed before the ro; commission recently. >-^H_ "The liquor board should be made completely independent of all outside tssociation, so much so that "interests engaged In liquor business would not find lt to their advantage to devote any funds to political purposes. There is a fine chance for some member of the legislature to distinguish himself this session by moving to amend the conditions under which the liquor oontrol board exists."
