The Burnaby council has referred to the finance committee (he question urged by Point Grey louncil of interviewing the goy- [rnment with a view to securing In amendment to the Municipal Clauses Act which would allow [he municipalities to support the Canadian Patriotic Fund by a |ax. A tax of a quarter or half mill for such a purpose is sug- |;e-sted. The municipal solicitor, [r.\" W. G.* McQuarrie, declared [hat under present legislation the |ouncil would have no power to lake a tax for.such a purpose. Collectors are no w making the bunds in Burnaby in their canv Daign for funds for the Canadian 'atriotic Society and energetic efforts will be made to secure the subscription of $4000 which has |been suggested as Burnaby's 3hare of the province wide cam- Ipaign. No less than $2700 was ���������required from the Canadian Patriotic Fund last month to -pay Ithe allowance of the families of Ithe Burnaby fighting men. The (municipality has contributed no- Ibly in men and the national fund lis of vast assistance in caring for I their dependents. Two photographic enlargements of Burnaby honor roll, containing the names of 350 Burnaby men serving with the troops was drawn for Tuesday night and netted $19.20 for the Returned Soldiers' Fund. The winning numbers were 250, held by \"Wild Irishman,\" East Burnaby, and 41, held by A. E. Betchley, auctioneer, Granville street, Vancouver. Mr. John Dun- lop of the municipal engineering department, designed the honor roll and Mr. Jack Browne compiled the names. The concert in the Burnaby public hall at Edmonds on Friday evening last was generally described at the most successful held there within the last season at least. The program was varied, the vocalists all of high calibre, and the tableaux vivants introduced colorful and dramatic touches, which made a stirring impression. The proceeds were for the Gordon Presbyterian church and the St. John's Voluntary Aid (Edmonds Circle) The artists were: Mrs. Hether- ington, Miss Jessie Drew, Mr. John Graharn, Mr. W. M.- Mc- Cloy, ^ Mr. /Al B. Cornish and Mr. B. C. Hilliam. Fifteen of the young people of the church gave the tableaux under the direction of Mrs. F. L. Macpherson. Coquitlam council sent a suggestion to the Burnaby council i that the council's plans for a tunnel under the North Road in lieu of the permanent bridge be submitted to the Great Northern Ry. Co. Reeve Fraser felt that the proper place to* submit the tunnel plans was to the railway commission when the Canadian Northern appeared with their application before that body, .and Coun. McDonald proposed, ahd the motion was adopted, that the municipal solicitor advise as to the desirability of taking up the tunnel proposition with the company itself.. The whist drive under the aus pices of the Burnaby Lodge No 218, Sons of England, at More- ton Hall, on Tuesday night was much enjoyed. The winners of prizes were Mrs. A. I. Lewis, Mrs. William Baker, Pioneer Sgt. R. Ashworth and\" Mr. R. Moseley. Miss Ashworth and Hr, H. J. Ayling took the consolation prizes. The proceeds will go to a fund for the returned dis abled soldiers who were mem bers of the lodge. Nearly one half of the members are on active service and the list includes Henryi Ashworth, _T_homas P._Ap pleby, C. J. Bowden, J. C. Child, Gerald Collins, H. A. Campbell, W. H. Griffin, Leslie Hunter (killed), Walter S. Rose, Henry A. Rudd, Malcolm Sworder, B. E. Tucker, Bertram Tubb, W. S. Vivian, John R. Woollen and C. Wilcox. IBeventh. Organ Becital St. Andrew 'a .church, Tuesday evening, was the occasion of a veritable feast of music when the organist, Mr. Wrigley, gave one of the finest of a series of magnificent organ recitals which he has been rendering this season, to the delight and uplift of music-lovers in this city. Words cannot express the inestimable service Mr. Wrigley has conferred upon the public here, through the medium of his recitals, both in directing the general trend of musical appreciativeness towards higher ideals; and in extending their knowledge of the works of the great masters of music. By his own performances, and by his wonderful handling of a wonderful instrument, he has already made an indelible 'impression on the musical tastes of his hearers. He has done more,' even, he might be said to have transplanted/in this \"new world of ours the atmosphere and traditions of the church music of the old world where he* received his early impulses. To us he is the embodiment of the famous Lemare, of whom Mr. Wrigley was erstwhile pupil and assistant organist at St. Margaret'8. ' The programme on Tuesday night was of the kind which \"vibrates in the memory,\" its variety lending it added charm. Bach's \"Prelude and Fuga in ������ Minor\" was majestic in its grandeur and solemnity and gained added prestige through- the rolling tones of the organ; Mendelssohn's sweet and airy \"Andante from Piano Concerto\" made a pleasing and striking'contrast to Bach's number; God- ard'i \"Berceuse\" rang out in sweet bell-like cadence*!, and sounded like a flute-like prelude to Lemaigre's fantastic \"Capriccio\"; Elgar's \"Sur- aum Gorda\" was a scholarly performance. The audience was delighted with Mr. Wrigley's rendering of Wol- stenbolme'a tour de force, \"The Question and the Answer,\" which brought into play all his masterly executive skill and his' originality of interpretation. The \"Festival Prelude?' of Faulkes proved, essentially a composition for pipe-organ production, in the delicacy of its tonal shadings. Cyril Scott's \"Vesperale,\" \"Cavaleria Rusticana\" and Meyerbeer/s \"March of The Prophet\" gave fine ^finish to a programme of rare musical delight. In- the intervals of the recital, Mrs. Robert Baird, of Victoria, sang, in rich ' melodious voice, \"Like As the Hart,\" by Allitsen; \"From the Land df the Sky Blue Water,\" by Cadman, and;\"Three,\" by Florence Aylward. The greater public should not miss these recitals, the next one of which will be given Tuesday, March 14. PROHIBITION ACT TO BE INTRODUCED NEXT SE^iON / To a large deputation of the People's Prohibition Party on Tuesday at Victoria. Premier bowser announced that an act would be drafted immediately and introduced at the com-, ing session of the legislature, being submitted at the forthcoming provincial ejection. The/act will incorporate the best features of existing prohibitory legislation in .Alberta, Manitoba, and elsewhere. It will oontain a section stating that it will come into operation alter the people have approved of it and, if approved, will fcacome effective on, January 1 next. The majority vote of ithe electors will prevail and if a voter when registering bis vote for Ws candidate does not take sufficient interest to vote on the measure bis vote will , not.vbe.coiisidired at j01; Jto ������w*r^1������ this proposal was the vote to be taken on- the local option plebiscite, when all those not voting on the local option ticket but voting for the candidates were counted in the grand total as against the measure. But in .addition to the xtew measure to be placed before! the people Premier Bowser was emphatic in his declaration that stringent amendments to the existing liquor Act will be passed at the forthcoming session, especially in respect to closing hours, etc. These amendments will be effective during the duration of the war. If the new act is approved by the electors, it will, on January 1 next, supersede the existing act and what amendments may be made thereto. Mr. Jonathan .Rogers, who beaded the deputation, en- tbusiasticaly thanked Premier Bowser for his statement. Ulr. Gibson declared be was satisfed Premier Bowser spoke with all sincerity, and confident that the promise made would, be carried out to the letter. SOUTH VANCOUVER Beeve Winram has intimated to,the council that he is not at all satisfied with the amount of reduction that has been made in the municipal staff and has declared there are several men, at any rate three, whom he feels can be dispensed with without damaging the efficiency of the hall. He will introdluce his proposals in detail at the next regular meeting of the council. Dr. Robert Telford will be the principal speaker at a meeting of the Social Service Council to be held in the Robson Memorial Church, Cedar Cottage, this Friday evening at 8 o'clock. His subject will be \"The Present Standing of the Prohibition Question.\" After the public meeting ..the council will hold a business meeting for the election of officers for the ensuing year. The continued interest whieh has been maintained in the joint evangelistic services which have been held in the municipality during the past few weeks decided the organizers to make arrangements for continuing the, mission this week. The meetings were held in the River Avenue Methodist and Presbyterian churches. Rev. J. S. Henderson was the speaker. 1 !*< 1'\\ \\f -*;X.l ' *V *Y -i X ^ , ��������� x .sr . j. -/������������������������*>-1 4 ���������'(���������} X y '\"' *&\\ Mr. Robt. R. Penny, of West Burnaby has received from the Adjutant-General0 a telegram intimating the death of his son Herbert Scott Penny, killed in action on Feb. 17 in Flanders. The late Private Penny was a Western boy, born in Calgary 20 years ago. His early boyhood was spent in Pincher Creek, Alta., and he afterwards removed with his parents to Vancouver. He attended the Dawson School for five years, and was one of the \\ pioneers of the Boy Scout movement, and an active member of the 72nd Cadets of this city. During his short career in private life he was a surveyor and engineer and gave abundant evidence to his principals of an unsalable appetite for hard work and new problems to solve. On Monday night tbe Burnaby council accepted a price of 95.677 net for the entire million- dollar issue of 6 per cent. 20- year serial bonds, tbe payments to be made in accordance with the terms of the advertisement calling for the tenders, and delivery to be made\" either in the city of Toronto or in New York. The successful bidders for the issue were Wood, Gundy & Co., of Toronto, the offer coming through Mr. E. A. Earle, manager of. the Vancouver firm of Ceperley, Rounsefel & Co. Offers of 94.25 and 92.5 were also received and considered, from the R. CV Matthews Co. and McNeill & Young respectively. The latter firm bid for only ������300.000 of the issue with the proviso that, a 30- day option on the balance be given. The three bids as above were the only ones considered, because the other offers,1 simply telegraphed to the board, were not.accompanied by the certified cheque for $10,000 as set forth in the advertisement. Hoping to secure a fiat rate for the telephone in Greater Vancouver a committee consisting of Reeve Winram and Councillors Rowling and James' will interview the B. C. Telephone Company at an early date. The council has passed a resolution suspending the pipe-making operations until further notice. This resolution was the subject of a long discusion in the committee room and it is understood was drafted because the council fears there will not be sufficient sewer money left to bury the pipe already made. \"Ship Me Somewhere East of Suez\": is the latest German war song.���������Pittsburg Dispatch. Mr. Herbert Lester. F.R.G.S., delivered an interesting lecture in St. David's Presbyterian church last night, under the auspices of the South Vancouver Auxiliary Of the Red Cross Society, on the subject, \"Life in the Trenches.\" The lecture was illustrated by excellent views and a first-class musical program was rendered. The proceeds will be devoted to the material fund \"of the society. place among other artistic decorations which have recently been added to the library. Although the epidemic of measles has now almost vanished, the health department is still being kept busy with the large number of cases of whopping cough which have been breaking out all over the municipality. Dr. Turnbull, the medical health officer, wishes it understood that it is necessary for all cases to be reported to the health office at the municipal hall immediately they are discovered. Ward Et. ratepayers' association on Wednesday evening elected the following officebearers for the ensuing\"year: President, Mr. F. Harris,; vice-president, B. Bennett; secretary, Jfohn Moody. Coun. Russell gave an address on sewerage; matters and explained the council's two proposals for charging - for the sewers-^-by a rental tax or by a frontage basis. The speaker explained the two schemes in detail but could hot' announce ~ which would be adopted by the council . The home of Mr. lade, 1930 Thirty-ninth avenue east, was totally destroyed by fire on Monday afternoon. Mr. Eade and his ' wife were out shopping, their, little daughter being the only one in the house at ithe time,' and there wag considerable delay in sending in the alarm, and when the fire department reached the scene the house was practically in ruins. Mr. Eade, who is only the tenantof the house, has been out of work for some, time, and the destruction of all'bis furniture leaves him practical^ destitute. The case was at on^ placed in the hands of Relief Officer Plemihg,. who will see that the V unfortunate' family is looked after. The, fire was caused by an overheated stove. X - a\" A-\" Three more members of the municipal staff have concluded their services and have enlisted for active overseas service. They are Mr. A. E. Carr, cashier of the tax collector's department, and Constables McKenzie and McRae. The former has joined the 6th company Field Engineers, and the constables the artillery. W^ith the exception of his father all Mr. Cary's maije relatives have enlisted and his father, although 70 years of age, volun- teeredfor active service, but was rejected. He previously served 25 years in the British army. As a mark of his appreciation of the Collingwood Institute and library which he visited recently, M.

There was practically no interest taken in the question by the electors, and the vote was one of the smallest which has been polled in the municipality on any occasion for some years.

To compensate foiTHhis loss, however, the company, he said, would put an additional car on the Joyce Road and Victoria Road, and one extra special during the rush hour. It was also intended to increase the frequency of ears running out Main street to 52nd avenue, and possibly that every Davie car dur- I ing the rush hour will run J through to 52nd avenue. In a letter just raceived by Mr. Buck of the engineer's staff, Sergt Bert Richardson, formerly a member of the staff also tells of. the proposal to form a machine gun brigade, for which officers are being specially trained at Shorncliffe. Sergt Richardson, who is one of those taking the course, explains the details of the work as follows: \"We are learning to set our guns by maps, magnetic bearings and prismatic compasses. The military maps are all divided into squares, with all. .the ' contours of the land marked on it; even small pig sties being shown. Suppose the order came open fire in five minutes of 'B23- C6585' we would take the map, locate our gun and target positions, and get the magnetic bearing from the gun to the target. The target may be 1500 feet away, out of sight, or the order may come in the middle of the night, but by means of our maps, we can find out the highest contour we have to shoot over and what angle we wilLhttve'to' set the guu. The gunner could then set his gun to clear the height according to the bearings and angles.\" ;ji_ .sua- THE WESTERN CALL It is a very small, almost a negligible thing, when weighed against the loyal attitude of the French in Canada as a whole, but there does exist in remote, isolated sections of Quebec a lack of interest in the war, perhaps a lack of willingness to serve overseas. And the best way to dispose of that fact and reduce it to its proper position of relative unimportance is to admit it at the outset, as did the Hon. T. Chase Casgrain, Postmaster- General in Sir Robert Borden's cabinet, in an interview given to a representative of a New York newspaper the other day at Ottawa. The facts of the case are certainly not to be had fairly either from those who would make political capital out of the situation or from those who, through prejudice, accuse the French of disloyalty and cowardice. Both this prejudice and political man- oeuvering by some of the lesser leaders of the Opposition Party have been factors in the effort to show that Canada is split in the face of the war, on religious, racial, and political issues, and that no sense of devotion to England and no fear as to the outcome of the war can compose those differences. Qualified to Speak As a minister of the crown, Mr. Casgrain is qualified to speak for all Canada; as a French Canadian from the province of Quebec he is specially qualified to answer the charges of the anti-French agitators, and as a man who has five of his own kin at the front he has a peculiar right to urge the making of one sacrifice or another which he believes to be the duty of every Canadian. Furthermore, the Postmaster General has very definite, not to say startling,,opinions as to what would happen to all Canada, and to Quebec in particular, should the Germans win the war.\" \"I do not believe for a moment,\" he said, \"that Germany will win, but I will take no chances. I am not a sensationalist, but let us assume that the worst may happen, so that we will go to the utmost limit to prevent it. Germany is a country of colonists with no colonies. If she should win, what is to prevent Germany from making a colony of Canada, a Prussianized colony? Nothing. It is always the unexpected that happens in war, and Canada cannot afford to take any chances.

ALLAN BROS. 510 Pender St West Phone Sey. 2873 Real Estate, Insurance and Mining Freest Country on Earth \"As we are now, Canada is the freest, most popularly governed country in the world. But we had to fight and wait a good many years to get all this freedom and liberty and democracy, and we would lose it all overnight with Germany as the victor in this war, and our struggles would not only begin over again, but as a German colony we would be set much further back than we were at the outset of the effort to get the liberty England finally granted. For Germany does not even know what constitutional government means. \"As for Quebec, that province would become another Poland. The French Canadians in Quebec have increased numerically from 60,000 in 1760, when Great Britain took Canada from France, to 3,000,000 at the present time. They have special rights granted to them by the treaty entered into by England nad France at that time, rights pertaining to the Catholic church and to their civil laws. Their laws are based on the Code Napoleon. Imagine what changes would come to Quebec and all her institutions and traditions under Prussian control. We must imagine these things and think of them at least as possibilities, or, in our heedlessness, they will become realities. We will lose our liberties, not to be governed once more from Downing Street, but from Berlin, and not a vestige of the liberty , we now enjoy will remain. From Discussion to Action In Canada preparedness has gone beyond discussion to action, and the Dominion; from coast to coast is participating till the last man has sailed on a troopship and until we have reached the end of all our resources. This is Canada's war as it is the war of England and France and their allies. Jt is Canada's war, because Canada is civilized and her civilization is in danger, as is that of the rest of the world. \"And the French of Canada realize that as much as anybody else, and they, too, are participating and enlisting with the loyalty of the rest and in full proportion to their numerical strength in the whole population. Conveyed Wrong Opinion \"Unfortunately, much has been said and written to convey a contrary opinion as to the French Canadians. \" \"It is true- that thererar^two pegs upon which the anti-French and the anti-recruiting agitators can hang their greatly exaggerated statements with some degree of plausibility. One of. these pegs is the bilingual issue in the schools, which is now very acute in Ontario. The other matter is the prejudice of the Catholics in Canada because of the persecution of the church in that country. '' This religious prejudice is strongest in the remote farming districts of Quebec, and if it is operative at all against active sympathy in the cause of the Allies, it is so in such isolated regions where the French Canadians live far apart, where they are very busy and very prosperous with their farms, and where their contact with'- the outside world is to some extent through the, priests, many of whom were actual victims of the anti-Catholic arts of Waldeck-Roussean and Combes in France. Hinder Teaching of French \"In Ontario,\" where there are 250,000 French Canadians, the difficulty is with the act of the provincial legislature in hindering the teaching of French in some of the schools and actually prohibiting it in others. Until 1912 the schools in the French sections of Ontario were bilingual. But in* that year it was enacted that thereafter in. all schools then established French should be used exclusively only for French children during the first two years of. their schooling, and that beyond that age the language in all forms should be English except for one hour a day. \"Now, since 1912, many new French Canadian settlements have been established in the province of Ontario, and of course they have their schools, but the provincial authorities have ruled that by the wording of an act of 1912 no French whatever can be taught in the schools opened after that law went into effect. A Drop in the Bucket \"And that is all there is to the much talked of apathy and disloyalty of the French in Canada. f It is a drop in the bucket. The big fact is that the French Canadians, as a whole, are not apathetic and not disloyal, and all the evidence is on that side. In the first contingent of troops that we sent over to England there were 33,000 men. They were for the most part natives of England. Only 20 per cent., or less than 7,000 men, were Canadian born, and of those 7,000 there were 2,500 French. There are two full regiments now at the front, made up entirely of French Canadians, and seven more purely French regiments recruited from the militia districts of Quebec are about to sail. But that by no means tells the whole story of the French Canadians' loyalty. There is not a, regiment in which there are not some of them, and there are thousands of soldiers with English names whose mothers were French. X Priests in French Army \"Another effective answer to the charge that all Frencshi Canadians aire opposed.to -thei Allies because of the expulsion of the priests is in the iact that there are 25,000 priests in the French army today serving as chaplains and in the hospital forces, and many of them as fighting men. And a great many of them are priests who had been expelled and settled in Quebec, and who have now returned to fight as members of the Canadian regiments... ���������: \"So in view of all the facts the French Canadians are surely included when we say that Canada is in this war to stay to the end, and that there are thousands of recruits waiting to follow the thousands who have gone.\" Friday, March 3, 193 I HOUSES WANTED!

C. 1 ANNUAL ft&PO&T OF FH������5 W&AMMMV The thirtieth annual report of the chief of the fire -department of Vancouver has just come to hand. It shows that the fire loss for the' city during 1915 was slightly lower than for the three preceding years, although the department responded to some thirty more calls than in any previous year. A reduction of some thirty- three members was made during the past year, taking effect between May 1 and July 31 at the request of the special finance committee of the city council. Since the war began, all vacancies on the staff have been filled where possible by young married men. -The total fire loss for 1915 is $68,643 less than that for 1914. The combined losses on the SS. Monteagle and the . Percival Building were over two-thirds of the total loss for. the year. The fires for the year are classified as follows: Fires where damage occurred, 224; false alarms, 52; chimney fires, 94; smoke scares, 17; exhibition runs, 2; fires where no damage occurred, 263; and fires outside the city limits, 20. Since the outbreak of war, 36 members of the force have joined the colors. Two of this number have been killed, P. B. May, of No. 5 Hall on May 2, 1915, at. Langemarck, and W. D. Reid, of.

THE WESTERN CALL 3 New Treatment For Diabetes [Radical and revolutionary is le method of treatment of dia- ktes under the so-called Allen Ian, which recently has engaged le attention of noted investiga- jrs and experimenters. [There have been students of tabetic conditions who have tried faking patients starve to some ctent, but never was the dis- ise before combated by long fiitial fasts and the reduction of le weight of the body by a fifth. I'he commonly accepted treat- lent for diabetes consisted in seeping the patient with as much lesh on his bones as possible, in |iaving him rest, and above all in ceeping him aloof from alco- The new regime even per- litg a little whisky for the sake )f the general tone. Wherever the >ld method had castiron rules, jthe new one openly flaunts them. Fasting Recommended In all cases of these recent experiments there was an initial of eight to ten days. Tea, [coffee, water, or a small quantity |of. fruit were allowed. The result nearly all cases was sugar freedom. Many of the patients, if their strength permitted, were sncouraged to run up and down stairs and to take brisk walks in jrder to reduce their weight. Contrary to all ordinary ex pectations, even patients who at the start were weak and emaciated bore the fasting well. They gave the impression, thin as they were from the first, that they had been suffering more from auto-intoxication than from lack of nutrition. Eliminating Add and Sugar The balance of nature being restored in a measure by the first fast, the reduction was continued and a diet substituted which kept down the sugar and the acid. When the symptoms of sugar excess appeared, a day or so of strict fasting again made the pa tients sugarfree. This new treatment will be a Special boon to those who, as if by one stroke, are relieved from medicines, sham treatments and gluten bread. Important Tables When patients have returned to something like a normal diet they are permitted to have meats, fish, broths, gelatin and eggs. They may, under restriction, have butter and olive, oil. When they note any return of their symptoms, however, they must again resort to heroic measures. Dr. Joslin, who has made important investigations in nutrition at the Carnegie institute, presents some important tables showing WHY ENDURE THE CRUEL TORTURE Of TOOTHACHE- WHY GO ALONG?

HOUSEHOLDERS SHOULD BEAUTIFY THE CITY RARE OLD PLAY BILLS TO BE EXHIBITED At the regular Sunday night meeting of the People's Forum at the Labor Temple, Mrs. J. O. Perry gave a most interesting address on the aims and objects of the City Beautiful Association appealing to all classes of citizens to join in making Vancouver the city it should be from a standpoint of esthetic beauty. Mrs. Perry declared that it was a disgrace to the city not to have all buildings erected to conform to a specified building line. At tention was paid to attempts made in past years by the authorities to cut down trees on certain Streets and in referring to this Mrs. Perry said all remembered the strenuous stand taken by the president of the association in op osition to this vandalism. \"You remember how the civic Huns went down to Burrard street and in one hour cut.,down beautiful trees which it had taken thirty years to grow. The people of this city will never forgive the council of that year for that,\" declared the speaker. jThe inauguration of the home garden competition and the growing interest being manifest ed were pointed put. In three years the number of children en tering the competition for juveniles increased from 85 in the first year, to 600 in the third year. Mrs. Perry appealed to everyone.to make their homes a beauty spot, and urged parents to encourage their children to take up the work. Miss Gutter- idge presided. The inauguration of two-number telephone ser- vice between Vancouver and New Westminster is in line with the policy of the B. C. Telephone Company to give up-to-the-minute service. The great majority of calls to the Royal City are by people who want a certain number. They have had to wait one, two, perhaps three minutes. Under the new system they will not pay any more, but the wait will be practically eliminated. This means additional equipment and wider organization, but the company does this willingly, believing that the better the telephone service is between two points, the more mutual are the relations. For ten cents you get your number in New Westminster in about half a minute. You may ask for a particular party, and for five cents more the company will hunt up the party and get him on the wire. British Columbia Telephone Company, limited SELLING FLOWERS FOR RETURNED SOLDIERS By the kindness of Mrs. Barnard of Fern Ridge, British Col umbia, a number of rare old \"Bills of the Play\" will be shown at the Shakespeare exhibition which will be held at the Carnegie Library in April. These old programmes are coarsely printed on thin paper, for paper was dear a hundred years ago, and they were very different from the elegant programmes given today. One old bill is of the performance given at the Theatre Royal .Concert Garden, on July 16, 1821. Shakespeare's ''King Henry IV,'' was then presented with Mr. Macready as Henry, Chas. Kemble as the Prince of Wales, Mr. Fawcett as Falstaffr^Mr.���������Blanchard as-Pis- tol and Mrs. Davenport as Mrs. Quickly. These are some of the greatest names in theatrical history. Another bill is 'of-; an'.'earlier ..date,' September 15, 1820; a Dniry Lane Bill announcing Mr. Kcan as Shylock in \"The Merchant of Venice,\" Mrs. West as Portia and Mrs. Bland as Jessica. In the first and second century after his death Shakespeare was not really appreciated. The real growth in the appreciation of Shakespeare has come in the last hundred years, and has grown more in the last fifty than the previous fifty years. Yet when Shakespeare wrote he was not ahead of. his time, but his thoughts were in tune with all time. To use a common phrase, he knew human nature as human nature is, and always will be. The best means of communicating thought is the language we speak and the manner and spirit of our acting. Shakespeare was a master of both. The study of the art of both mediums of expression is the study of Shakespeare. That's why so many people the world over will do their best to honor Shakespeare this year, the 300th anniversary of his death. In every school, college, university, in every club throughout the land, the study of Shakespeare will be taken up with a new interest���������a new enthusiasm. Mr. Jones, the genial keeper of I the Brockton Point lighthouse, Stanley Park, has started his sale of shrubs, flowers and trees in aid of the Retired Soldiers' Club. The, result of his Saturday morning's sale in front of the post office was the sum of $15. Mr. Jones found trade very good. \"I have lived through three or four wars,\" said Mr. Jones, ?'and I have found that the returned arid maimed soldier is always soon forgotten. Even now sOme in Vancouver seem to have forgotten the men already back from the front. Howeyer, I aim to give $150 to the Returned Soldiers' Club from the sale of these shrubs arid flowers and I think I can easily do it.\" In the cause of the men from -JhCtrj^hi^iu^^ terested Mrl Jones is practically giving away his beautiful garden at Efrockton Point, comprising thousands of shrubs and flowers. As soon as the danger of frost is past he will sell at the postoffice hundreds of flowers in bloom, some iri pots and some ready for planting out, and will keep at his self-imposed task until the sum of $150 is made up.

Premier Bowser's announcement left nothing to be desired by the prohibitionists who now have a clear field in which to work. In a few days the provisions of the bill will be known and its merits will be discussed pro and con. There can be little doubt that the principle of prohibition is acceptable to a large proportion of the electorate. Its adoption will depend upon the desirability of putting it in-fdrce at the present. Also there is the question of whether or not Dominion-wide prohibition would not ' be more effective than provincial prohibition. Mr. H. H. Stevens, M. P.. has a resolution in flavor of Dominion-wide prohibition before the Dominion Parliament, and in a few days that resolution will be debated. The debate /will indicate the chances of the .* adoption of Dominion-wide prohibition in the near future, and if the probabilities look good for its adoption, many prohibitionists in this province will doubtless be '' in favor of postponing the enactment of. a provincial law. ���������yAjy'A'ii'f' vM*i Wi i\"-f.

It was a logical expression of a situation which was created by the election of a practically unanimous house to support the government. g:VA government of angels could f'wrt hope to survive ^'such kindness as that. Without an opposition a government is bound to live in an atmosphere of suspicion which holds distrust of every act of the government whether it is good or bad. It is to be hoped that no matter which party succeeds to power at the general elections, there will be an effective opposition on the other side of the house. However, it is not likely, that the desire for an opposition will go to the length of electing a Liberal government. That party has riot yet been sufficiently purified by adversity to be entrusted with the government of the province. CORRUPTION IN THE PARTIES The revelations in Regina would indicate that no party has a monopoly of crookedness any more than any party has a monopoly of righteousness. A Conservative government in Manitoba became so corrupt that it fell to pieces of its own rottenness and now a Liberal government in Saskatchewan would appear,to be going in the same direction. j We have heard a great deal about the \"corrupt Conservative machine in British Columbia, but so far these very general accusations of corruption have not taken definite shape as charges. Until some charges are made' and proven.--we may .safely assume that while the government like all others ,, in British Columbia, has been extravagant there has been no downright stealing such as has been proven in Manitoba and indicated . in V Saskatchewan. On J.he other hand, in Vancouver? direct and definite charges of misfeasance cheating and thievery have been published against certain leaders of. the Liberal party and they remain unanswered, although every opportunity lies open to them to disprove them if they can. THE C. N. R. AND FALSE CREEK The Vancouver public has for some time now been agitated regarding Sir William Mackenzie's attitude towards the False Creek deal in which he fared so handsomely at the hands of the -city and made promises, equally handsome, to the people, as an expression of his appreciation of their generous; gift. But people can't live on promises alone, and the time for the fulfilment of same will soon be past due. Sir William knows what the people want, for their terms were set forth clearly and in detail in the agreement which was drawn up at the time that the city turned over the land to his company, and these were the terms which he so solemnly stipulated to observe. But now that the term of agreement is on the eve of expiration, and there are as yet no signs of the improvements being made on the False Creek flats nor even of the first stone being laid for the building of the promised station, the public is naturally becoming uneasy. And Sir William thinks to pour oil on the troubled waters and still the growing apprehensions of the city with the simple inqujfy, \"What do the people warit?\"' /However, that astute gentleman will find the people here are not 'so easily hoodwinked and sidetracked. His reputation has travelled ahead of him and the party of. the other part are going to insist on straight action and immediate proof, of his good faith or have a settlement .with him. Neither the people in Vancouver nor the government in Victoria are in a mood to temporize with him, or to handle him gently. If it is true that he has enough money in the bank for the complete carrying out of the work, his only ehance for regaining the favor of the Vancouver and British Columbia public is by having the work of \"the building of the station and the making of improvements as well forward as if is humanly possible now by July of this year, the time at which the station was to have been fully completed. the- electors of British Columbia have reached the conclusion that they have not been fairly represented in a legislature where every member but two were of the same political stripe. The surprising thing is that they should have so long remained iii doubt about it. Some time during this .year the Bowser government will have to go to the people in a general election. Another session of the legislature will come -.first, during which there will be an effort made to present a program of policies that will spell success at the polls. It is altogether unlikely that defeat will meet the Bowser administration in a? general election, but from the results of the by-elections just held it is certain that a healthy-sized opposition will be found in the next legislature, which is just as it should be.���������Calgary Herald. WHOLESALE FISH DEALERS CELEBRATE AT BANQUET TRE HOUSE TO HOUSE CANVASS As a result of the January campaign for the patriotic fund, the collectors met with a generous response among the . men and women of the business districts of Vancouver. The house to house canvass in the residential portion of the city has been assigned to the women who have been properly organized for this purpose. The reason for leaving this canvass till March the first was that it was thought the people would be in a more cheerful frame of mind and- that more, of them would be accessible after the snow had disappeared than during the recent cold snap. It is hoped most of the subscribers will make their offering a monthly one, but they will naturally choose their own time and manner of paying. The money will go to the comfortable support of tlie wives and families of those who have volunteered and left for active service in Europe.

This shows that war service does not necessarily mean certain death as so many people haye imagined in the present crisis. ��������� ��������� ��������� Nobody who knows Australia will believe that even their large casualty list in the Dardanelles will unsteady them. Is is rather a matter of sombre pride; and no thought remains that they acted unwisely or did more than their duty to the mother country. They realize that the war is their war, and if Australian troops were to lead the way into the historical city of Constantinople, the gratification of Australia would be deep. MONTHLY WEATHER REPORT B.C. POLITICS Results of by-elections in Vancouver and Rossland, where two ministers of \"the new .Bowser government were appealing for return to office in cabinet, positions are quite satisfactory as The Herald views the situation in the coast province. - In Vancouver city the government candidate was snowed under by an enormous majorify, and in Rossland Mr. Bowser's man won by the narrowest sort of squeak. These by-election results, we take it, indicate that The following are the meteorological records for the month of February as compiled by Mr. T. S. H. Shearirian, Dominion meteorologist here: Highest temperature, 55.9 on Feb. 26; lowest temperature, 20.9 oh Feb. 1; average temperature for tlie month, 37.3; rain 3.75 inches; snow, 36.50 inches; total precipitation, 7.40 inches; bright sunshine, 84 hours and 48 minutes; mean relative humidity, 39; wind, total miles, 2546; greatest velocity, 25 miles from west in one hour on Feb. 28; mean hourly velocity, 4.4 miles; prevailing direction, east. The average precipitation for February for the 'past 10 years has been 5.70 inches, so it will be seen that Vancouver had sufficient moisture, most of it however, in the form of rain, but. the many hours of sunshine during the month made up for this misbehaviour: of the elements. The snowfall was the most ever re- c&rded in February. The average temperature for February for the past ten years has been 38.4 deg. The Vancouver section of Canada's National Fish Day closed with a most successful banquet at Mclntyre's Cafe on Tuesday night. There were about 200 guests who partook of their choice, -of thirteen different fish dishes. After everybody had been put in a thoroughly intellectual mood by the evening's diet of sea food there were songs and piano solos interspersed with toasts and specehes. The toast, \"The King,\" was replied to by the singing of the National Anthem; Mayor McBeath proposed \"The Army and Navy,\" which was replied to by Col. Mullins, Chief Inspector of Supply and Transport for Western Canada. Under the head of \"The Fisheries,\" which was proposed bjr Mr. T. Cunningham, chief inspector %t Fisheries for British Columbia, and responded to by Mr. Frederick Lucas, were included all branches of the industry. In response Mr. W- H.

His death, it is declared, was decreed,Vby Emperor Franz Josef because be involved a young archduchess closely related to the Archduchess Marie Theresa in a love intrigue. The tragic affair has only just become public. ��������� The married heir Of one of the noblest Austrian families met the archduchess during a; winter at Prewar. He began a flirtation which developed Jinto' real love on both sides. -Afr.^the= outbreak-^of- the- war^the count was *. cavaliy lieutenant attached to the staff of Gen. Von Hoet- zendorf. He continued to correspond with the archduchess. In December, 1914, when he was stationed at headquarters in an Hungarian village in the West Carpathians he begged the young princess, whom he hoped to marry after the annulment of his first marriage, to visit him. Disguised as a nurse, the archduchess, accompanied by- a small suite, journeyed in an ambulance train with her for several hours, but during the visit,' someone informed Gen. Von Hpetzendorf of what was happening. When the princess stepped on the platform to bid the count good-bye the couple were confronted by the chief of the general staff. After the archduchess' panicky departure Gen. Von Hoetzendorf had an angry interview with Count Seiler, who, drawing his sword, threatened the chief. The general thereupon placed him in a village hovel guarded by sentries. In a few days the count disappeared, and with the help of Princess Mattenich, he succeeded in crossing the Swiss frontier with the archduchess disguised as her page. The couple went to live in Zurich, with an English friend. The court, however, found the trail, and decided to stiflle scandal by taking the presumptuous , young officer frqm Switzerland. A go-between, named Cagern, who had been pasing letters between Princess Mattenich and the young couple, _ entered the plot. against the count. For. this purpose he rented a villa serving as an annex to the Lucerne Hotel, where Prince Von' Buelow was acting as'.':the kaiser's emissary for several months. Cagern lured Count Seiler and the archduchess to Lucerne, promising a passport which would enable them to flee to America. * \"No sooner had the count arrived rthan he was invited to the villa, where he was confronted with ;thee brother of the archduchess, a military attache of Gen Von Einem. and several members of the Vienna police. On the same day the English friend of the count was summoned by telegraph to Lucerne, where the secret police conducted him to the villa. ' In an upstairs room the police without the slightest comment, showed him the body of the count. stretched on the bed. His body was covered with a white cloth, reaching ito the neck.' : v Flowers were pref usely strewn on the . bed. The count had been lured to the villa which was exterritorial and assassinated at night. \\ WONDERFUL PEAT x OF SUBMARINE IT is not because the German submarines haye performed wonderful military feats, but because German naval activity has been practically, limited to her submarines, that the exploits of these undersea boats have been so widely advertised.

German submarines, and the feat of the British craft that played havoc with the Turks in -the Sea of Marmora, sinking at least two troopships and actually shelling the arsenal at Constantinople, is one of the most wonderful in naval annals. An account of this submarine's cruise is given by Armen S. Delalian, a naturalized American of Turkish birth, who spent nearly a month in this submarine. He was taken from a Turkish ship that was about to be sunk, and was; glad of an opportunity to serve Commander Nesbett as pilot, for although he had fought in the Turkish army, he appears to have had, no very strong sen- timents-in favor of Turkey. He admits that Captain Nesbett was a fearless and capable officer, but he thought he was mad when he realized the desperate character of the voyage into the heart of the harbor at Constantinople and discharge his torpedo at a sh ip moored to a pier seemed to Delalian one of the most astounding pieces of audacity ever conceived. * Sank Big Troopship In the New York Sun he tells about the captain sighting a steamer some distance away and then submerging so as to get close to her. ' He got so close that the steamer actually passed over the submarine. \"Like the sounds of a submarine bell, so the propellors of the steamer' some two hundred or three rundred feet above, sounded our boat, \"he says. The submarij then rose to the surface, and the was the Turkish steamer crowded wil troops a short distance away. As sol as the submarine was sighted the Tuj tried to wheel round and make Kodosto, but in this manoeuvre al presented her whole broadside to tl submarine, and a torpedo was launcl ed. There followed a terrific expf sion, and it was evident that sides the troops the steamer had &*] munition aboard, for although the s. marine was a mile away when blow wasv struck, she was shaken the concussion, i Later on'it -'f'wl learned that there were 2,0b0 Turki^ troops aboard. Chased Into Port \\ Soon another troopship was sightei but in full flight, and so the sul marine came to the. surface and pu sued her right into the harbor of Ri dosto. The submarine submerged, anl evidently the Turks thought that shJ had given up the chase. Shortly af j terward, however, she rose to the surf face in the midst of the harbor and launched a torpedo into the troopship! from which the soldiers had not dis? embarked, as they had no idea that] they would be followed into port bj the Ell. The submarine then made 'her way under water to the Sea of Marmora again. She encountered small sailing vessel, which she stop-] ped. It was.., captained by an Al-j banian, who was accompanied by his family. They thought they were to be killed, and were astonished when the captain merely bought some of their supplies, paying them in gold tho price they asked. V In Constantinople Harbor A few days later another large.vessel was torpedoed, but only after mostj of the crew had been put into a lifeboat, those whom this, could noi:accommodate being brought aboard the submarine. The raid on Constantinople was a thrilling one. The,, submarine when she submerged found herself in the very centre of the harbor sur-| rounded on all sides by vessels. Af-j ter launching torpedoes against a sup-j ply ship and the old Hamidian yacht that had been converted into a train-] ing ship, the submarine began to bom-) bard the, arsenal itself. That some of the shells were effective is proved from the terrific explosion that fOl-J lowed. Munition boxes that lined.the piers were also destroyed. Before thisl memorable cruise was ended the E-ll] sank a Turkish destroyer that had] been sent in search of her. Then, once more diving under the mines in the J Dardanelles, the submarine returned to her base, and her Turkish pilot was} set at liberty. ..... . .. \" ^v' CHEAP WWW POWER FOR MANUFACTUWNG Tbe experience of manufacturers wbo bave adopted the; electric drive proves that it means maximum results at minimum cost.

We will welcome any suggestions from readers of this page, and will gladly give them publicity in these columns if received not later than Monday of each week. In view of the coming Lenten season, and with regard to the Canadian national fish day which is being observed this week, it is especially appropriate to include the following recipes for the cooking and serving of some of our popular varieties of fish. Fish as Food In these days when the costof living has become such an important factor, it is necessary for the average housewife to give careful thought to providing for her table. The articles procured must not only be reasonably cheap, but they must be palatable and nourishing. As fish meets these requirements, attention is called to it as one of the articles that should daily have an important place on each bill of fare. Not only from an economic, but from a health standpoint is it desirable that fish should be much more freely used. Sir James Crichton- Browne,. M.D., D.Sc, Lord Chancellor's Visitor, etc., in an article on the Value of Fish as Food, states that it cannot be too strongly insisted on that for working people of all classes���������those who work with their heads as well as those who work with their hands-���������fish is an economical source of energy necessary to enable them to carry on their work, and that for children and young persons it furnishes the very materials that are needed to enable them to grow healthy and strong. : :..��������� X ./'X . In fish the muscle fibres are very short and are arranged in flaky masses, which are easily separated from one another. Hence fish lends itself to comparatively speedy digestion. Of course, fish differ greatly in digestibility, the lean kinds being more readily disposed of than the fat, and salt fish, owing to the hardening of. the fibre during salting, lingers longer in the stomach than fresh fish. Moreover fish is less stimulating as a food than meat, which is a matter of importance in these days of heavy nervous tension. 1 Comparative Value of Fish as Food As is explained in \"Recipes for Sea Foods,\" although foods are so different in appearance and taste, analysis shows that they are made up of a comparatively small number of compounds. These are water and the so-called nutrients- protein or nitrogenous materials, fat, carbohydrates and ash or mineral matter. Familiar examples of protein are the lean of fish and meat, white of egg, casein of milk and gluten of wheat. Fat is found in the fat of fish and meat, in milk (butter) and oils. Starches, sugars and woody fibre or cellulose form the bulk of carbohydrates. Food serves the twofold purpose of supplying the body with material with which it is built up and repaired and the energy for heat and muscular work. The value of a food depends upon the amount of digestible nutrients it contains, and the cheapest food is that which supplies nutriment at the lowest cost. In order to compare the nutritive value of different foods some measure is necessary. All energy may be measured in terms of heat. To enable a clear understanding of the amount of heat in a calorie, it may be explained that if one pound of starch were burned in an apparatus that would utilize every bit of the heat produced, it would raise 1,900 lbs. of water four degrees in temperature. Classes of Fish Fish may be divided into two classes, viz.) oily and non-oily. Of the two, oily fish are the more nutritious; they comprise such kinds as salmon, trout, mackerel, herring and eels, and have the oil mingled through the flesh. Haddock, ^ cod, hake, pollock and halibut, etc., are non-oily fish; that is; the oil is contained in the liver and is removed when the fish is dressed for cooking. They are thus more suitable for invalids, and people of weak digestion, than the oily kinds. In preparing fish for cooking it should not be allowed to stand iii water for a long time. It spoils the flavour and the food substances are likely to, be dissolved. Halibut i Broiled Halibut.���������Season the slices with salt and pepper and fry them in melted butter for half an hour, having them well covered on both sides, roll in flour and broil for ten minutes over a clear fire. Serve on a hot dish, garnishing with parsley and slices of lemon. The slices of halibut should be about an inch thick, and for every pound there should be three tablespoonfuls of butter. PRACTICAL BEAUTY SECRETS THIS series of short practical talks on tbe scientific care of tbe complexion, bair and eyes was begun in tbe WESTEEN CALL on February 25th, and will be continued from week to week in these columns. / Readers having any suggestions to offer or inquiries to make are invited to send tbem in not later than Monday of each week to insure attention.���������The Editor. X Ifr-*. Tbe \"Greasy\" Complexion Usually this distressing malady is the result of ah excessive use of sweet and oily foods, especially rich animal oils. A change to nourishing, but lighter foods, and a free use of juicy vegetables in the dietary, will work an improvement. It is necessary to take considerably more exercise in the open air than usual. The following local treatment can also be effectively used at least three times a day���������morning, noon and night. First wash the face thoroughly in lukewarm���������not hot���������water softened, if. neces- saryr-with-aTlittle liquid^ammonia^-Great care should be taken that the soap used is mild and contains no free or uncombined alkali. Any reliable druggist will recommend a good soap. Nothing is better than pure Castile, if the genuine can be obtained. After rinsing the face in lukewarm water it should be gently patted dry with a soft face towel and then bathed gently for about ten minutes with the following mixture; an ounce of witch hazel and ten drops of spirits of camphor mixed with an equal quantity of soft water. Follow this up by a dash of very cold water, which closes the pores. Oily complexions need very delicate handling ���������even more so than dry complexions. Any face ointment used should contain as little fat as possible���������witch hazel jelly being especially recommended. The use of almond meal and water in washing the face will also accomplish good results. Glycerine is fairly good for an oily skin. Sea water is even better. In any case it is well to avoid any face ointment containing tincture -of cantharides, for this is an irritant used to promote the growth of hair and is not desirable to use on the face. The immoderate use of face creams of any sort causes the face to become soft and flabby, and in many cases causes the growth of hair. Growth of Hair on the Face This is often brought about through the excessive use of face creams containing tincture of cantharides (Spanish flies). About the best thing to do is to apply a solution of one part of ammonia to two parts of peroxide of hydrogen to the affected parts of. the face when retiring. The peroxide will bleach the hair, thus making it inconspicuous, while the ammonia tends to kill the roots of the hair. This treatment, however, should not be too long continued, as the repeated use of peroxide tends to discolor the skin. Another good remedy for superfluous hair is electrolysis���������a safe, though sometimes a slightly painful method���������which should be administered only by a first-class operator. ��������� ��������� ��������� ���������- ��������� Open and Enlarged Pores If troubled -with large pores it is well to employ an astringent, such as a solution of alum. ��������� It should be applied to the face with absorbent cotton, when retiring. After washing the face thoroughly spray it with hot water for a few minutes, followed by a ten minutes' application of the cold alum solution. Rinse in very cold water. Do not persist in this treatment too long. It should produce an improvement in the condition of the pores after two weeks' use. Better then to skip a week and resume treatment than to continue it too long at a time. Another good astringent for open pores is as follows : tincture of benzoin, 15 drops; hamamelis water, 15 drops; orange flower water, one ounce. Spray the face with this three times a day. It -wilLtend to\" contract the-poresr although-no-tan^ gible results will be noticed for some time, as large pores are a matter of. slow growth and a remedy cannot be expected to\" work too quickly. Blackheads, pimples and many other similar facial blemishes are often caused by an inactive life, the excessive use of greasy and sweet foods, and the wearing of perspiration soaked underwear. Blackheads, especially, are nearly always the outcome of neglect of the skin of the face. Before retiring at night the face should be cleansed with cold cream, rubbing it well into the skin. When dry, wash the face in warm water, using a mild soap and a good complexion brush. Rinse first in warm water, then in very cold water. This treatment gets the dust out of the pores and closes them. ��������� ��������� * * * For Freckles Take one tablespoonful of dry mustard with lemon juice sufficient to make a smooth paste. Add one teaspoonful of sweet almond oil. Mix well. Before retiring dab each freckle spot with the paste. As soon as it begins .to smart the face wash it off and massage with a cold cream. After a few days the skin will begin to peel off, taking the freckles with it. In connection with peeling the face it might be mentioned that mercolized wax is very useful when it is desired, for any reason, to put on a new skin. Just before bedtime rub a moderate quantity ot the wax on the face and leave it on all night. Wash the face with warm water and soap in the morning. It will take some time���������possibly four months���������to effectively clear the, face of the old and dead skin, but it is a good remedy and a comparatively cheap one. V '��������� !������ ���������\" ��������� ��������� Brown Spots Otherwise known as liver spots, are often the outcome of liver troubles, of constipation, and sometimes of blood poisoning. . A reliable treatment for constipation should be employed, and if you suspect any personal causes for these brown spots���������such as syphilitic blood poisoning ���������you should see the most reliable physician without delay. Following is a good remedy for exterior application: One quarter of an ounce of borax, one-eighth of an ounce of tincture of benzoin, rosewater to make four ounces. Apply to the liver spots at night. BRITISH EMPIRE FAIR TO BE HELD IN 1917 Plans are under way for a British Empire fair to be held next year, which, it is expected, will be the largest of its kind ever held in the world. The time set for it is the spring of 1917, and the place selected is Willes- den Green, London. The intention is to provide accommodation for exhibits of practically every known industry. The exhibition building will cost about .$1,000,000 ahd cover an area df 610,000 square feet. The frontage of the stalls will be about twelve miles in length, and arrangements will be made for possible enlargement of the grounds should this be required. The fair will be held for three weeks. THE NOBEL PRIZES The Nobel prizes were established by the will of the late Alfred P. Nobel, the Swedish scientist and inventor of dynamite who died in 1896. He left his fortune, estimated at $9,000,000 to the f6undirig of a fund, the interest of which should yearly be distributed to those who had contributed most during the year \"to the good of humanity.\" The interest is divided in five equal shares, and the value of each prize is on the average about $40,000. The prizes are awarded, '' one to the person who in the domain of physics has made the most .important discovery or invention, one to the person who has made the most important chemical discovery or invention, one to the person who has made the most important discovery in the domain of medicine or physiology, one to the person who in literature has provided the most excellent work of an idealistic tendency, and one to the person who has worked most or best for the fraternization of nations, and the abolition or reduction of. standing armies, and the calling in and propagating of peace congresses.\" The distribution of prizes usually takes place each year on December 10, the anniversary of Mr. Nobel's death. The first awards were made in 1901. WILL DEVELOP EXPORT TRADE OF CANADA The question of adopting measures to develop theiexport trade of Canada with the large field that lies open to the Dominion among the various countries in South America, and thus also to enter into the composition that will take place, especially after the war, to capture the lucrative trade that has hitherto been eri- j oyed by Germany, was brought before the Premier, Hon. W. J. Bowser, on Friday last by the trade and commerce committee of the Vancouver Board of Trade. The deputation met the Premier at the Vancouver Hotel, and impressed upon him the advisability of publishing, at the expense of the government, the report of Trade Commissioner H. G. White, who was recently sent to South America by the government in connection with the opening up trade relations there. Mr. White was sent on the suggestion of the Vancouver Board of Trade, at the expense of the government, the cost of the vis^ it being $3,000. He has contributed a very valuable report on the subject, but, unfortunately, owing to the lack of ship bottoms, it is at present impossible to fill orders. The deputation urged that it would be of valuable assistance to merchants and others if the result of the investigations was published and distributed. The Premier promised to take the matter up with the King's printer, so as to ascertain what the expense would amount to. Now is the Time To Buy Your Printing Supplies The time to put your best foot forward is when your competitors are showing signs of weakness. Strong impressive printing is more valuable to-day than ever, because business men are on the alert to detect the slightest indication of unfavorable conditions, and for this very reason every suggestion of strength and progress is doubly effective.

THE WESTERN CALL (Continued from last -week) December 14.���������A hazy sky md a rather choppy sea greet- led us this morning. All those [who are leaving the ship at Auckland���������some twenty-five in all���������have already seen to packing their baggage. We have nothing to do but to anticipate our first sight of an Antipodean shore, which we get about noon, the rugged and mountainous coast of the Great Barrier Island looming up on the horizon. This island lies at the entrance to Auckland Bay, and is as forbidding as any land I have ever gazed upon. Surely not even a sheep could live on the parched grass that grows here and there on these barren rocks. However, the outlook is much more promising as we enter the bay proper. Dolphins play about our bows, white winged yachts are seen here and there dashing ahead of a stiff breeze. The shores become more inviting, and glimpses of green valleys may be seen on either side, sloping down to inviting little villages near the shore. We are nearing Auckland. At just five o'clock we get our first sight of the city of Auckland, built on sixty-two extinct volcanoes. It is not a very large city, taken from the standpoint of population���������only some 110,000. But it is the most impressive city of its size I have ever seen. These old volcanic craters have been mechanically worn away until most of them are only slight hills; a few, how ever, like Mount Eden and One Tree Hill, stand out conspicuously from the rest of the city and are beautified and covered with elegant little homes to their very top. The city is divided into two parts by the Waitemata, a channel somewhat like that of Burrard Inlet, Vancouver. It is only a short run on the tram going westward, to Onehunga, where you again meet with the South Pacific ocean. This suburb used to be Auckland's seaport. Auckland is not what you would call a bustling city. Its population is spread out over an unusually , large area, and some of the suburban districts partake of an agricultural quite as much as a commercial ^centre. The private citizens of Auckland are mostly well to do retired ranchers and health seekers. Business is confined chiefly to two main thoroughfares and is not as engrossing at any time as it is in a northern city. Many business men dress in frock coats and silk hats. Business hours are from 9.30 to 4.30. No stores are opeu in the evenings, and very few restaurants and cafes keep open after six o'clock. This is due to the stringent labor regulations which prevail both in New Zealand and Australia. The most conspicuous point about the city of - Auckland, and one it possesses in common with most Australasian cities, is the general use of red tile for roofing purposes. This lends a coloring, that harmonizes strikingly with the landscape, and leaves an impression on the mind of the stranger that is not easily effaced. The houses are built to keep out the heat, and incidentally keep out whatever cold the country may encounter, which, by the way, is not very severe in the N������>rth Island of New Zealand. The tram service is conduct.d largely on old country lines. The fares are graded according to the distance travelled. You can sit: out on the balcony if you prefer, for it is the favorite part oC the tram in fine weather. The street car cards of northern cities are here replaced by the advertising signs on the outside and along the top of the tram, where everyone along the street may read them. This is a distinct advantage over our method, as far as the advertisers are concerned. We enjoyed a huge feast of fresh eggs. New Zealand chee������e and honey, and the most delicious strawberries and cream one can imagine.

ENGINEERS and SHIPBUILDERS Steel and Wooden Vessels Built, Docked, Painted and Repaired. North Vancouver, B. 0. The papers we read at Auckland told of a gentle temperature of 110 deg. in the shade at Sydney, and we fondly hope this heat wave may be at an end before our arrival. December 19.���������Spent yesterday and most of Wednesday in my berth, the pitching of the. ship producing a type of. headache and nausea known only to sailors. Was on deck early this morning, for it was reported we would sight the Sydney heads about 9 o'clock. Those of us who have not seen Australia are wondering how much of our mental portrait of this country will be realized. The dim outline of the heads visible shortly after nine, and from that time on our eyes feasted on a picture as charming to our eyes as it was novel. The Makura entered the harbor and came to anchorage in Watson's Bay about ten o'clock to await the doctor, and we had our first opportunity to form our own impression of what Australians claim to be absolutely the finest harbor, natural or otherwise, in the world. This harbor comprises the natural mouth of the Paramatta river, with several inlets on either side. These inlets are so wide and deep, and their banks are so thickly studded with suburban residences that they seem more like separate rivers. Some of these coves or inlets are ex: quisitely beautiful, and as the ship rounds one point after another on its sinuous course to the piers, you realize why natives of Sydney have developed a peculiar curve to their lip from repeating the question to every new arrival, \"Have you seen our harbor?\" Medical examination being concluded, we proceed to Darling harbor wharf,- where we dock in time to get ashore for lunch. There is a drizzling rain coming on, and we are forcibly reminded we will have to prepare for this climate with -silk - suits and the lightest of underclothing. The customs officials are very consid- derate, but it is a sudden shock to our northern sensibilities to find no hotel bus waiting for us. We must take a hansom cab at a good stiff rate (three shillings) tipping everyone from the dock foreman to the baggageman. However, this is probably because we look green. Australia is not a land of high tips as a usual thing. Prices for all necessary commodities, service included, are very reasonable indeed. I have selected the Metropole, a family hotel of considerable prices, \" Pride of the West\" BRAND OVERALLS, SHIRTS, PANTS and MACKINAW CLOTHING MANUFACTURED IN VANCOUVER MACKAY SMITH, BLAIR & CO., LTD. \"Buy Goods Made at Home, and get both the Goods and the Money.\" them justice, and we were not a little surprised to find the bill only a shilling and sixpence each (36 cents). It would have cost us twice that in Vancouver, even in the summer season. Auckland has several fine residential hotels, built mostly of stone and stucco on the open plan so common to tropical countries, with fine courtyards and high airy ceilings. Bates are from three dollars a day, everything found, as they say here. The art gallery, national museum and industrial school are typical of the country, and reflect the broad- mindedness of its government. Here all public utilities are owned by the federal government. If you wish to farm, the government will lend you the money at a very reasonable rate, stock your farm, and for the first few years haul your produce to market, or your coal or fertilizer to the farm at low rates on its own railroad lines. But we will return to New Zealand and more of the country anon. We paid a visit to the municipal baths, where we enjoyed a dip in warm salt water, or cold, as we preferred, at threepence each, including bathing suit and towels. Our last adventure was a spin in an auto to the top of Mount Eden, from which a magnificent view of the entire city, harbor, and neighboring mountains is had. Mount Rangitoto stands out prominently on the horizon. This is an extinct volcano on the eastern side of the bay. The usual make of cars can be hired in Auckland for $3.50 an hour, with excellent drivers. We were sorry to leave Auckland, and for my part I am looking forward to my return visit with great pleasure, expecting to enjoy a trip on one of the \"bat- wings\" with which the harbor is alive on breezy afternoons. I dare say there were at least a hundred of them to greet us on our arrival, for the breeze was so stiff that we broke two cables before we finally docked. The day ashore has knocked our sea legs from under us, and we will probably have to get them back again on theV Tasman Sea. We are: due at Sydney Friday noon. December 16.���������Left Queen's wharf about 8 last night, taking on quite a few local passengers for Sydney. This morning we passed the ' ��������� Three Kings,\" the cause of dozens of fearful shipwrecks: in years gone by. These granite needles project fully 400 feet above the sea and are evidently the remainder of some highT Xolcahie \"peak-worn\"? into three sections by the terrific action of the waves. Tidal currents are swift and treacherous on the coast of New Zealand, as many a mariner has found to his cost. Now that we have altered our course, going due west across the Tasman sea, the ship has changed its rolling motion to a pitching one, with the result that many of us, hardened sailors as we have hitherto regarded our- selves, have had to give up and go back to our berths. We have a stiff headwind, but the weather is otherwise perfectly clear and summery. The gulls, which met us some miles out from Auckland, are escorting us to sea; we have also seen for the first time the quaint and stately albatrossfj king of the southern seas, recalling the \"Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.\" Surely no aviator will ever be able to imitate the graceful curves and gentle soaring movements of this remarkable bird, which measures, we are told, from ten feet to twelve and a half feet from tip to tip. This is the bird that fables represented as making its nest on the sea; and truly it seems to have little in common with land birds or their habits. Having lost so many of our congenial companions at Auckland, we refuse to be comforted by new arrivals, and social lif e is, therefore, a drag untilwe begin J ground bone was $35 a ton a to realize that, Sydney is near, couple of months ago. Grinding costs about 75 cents a ton. Labor is easily available. The transportation difficulties are the only ones besetting the path of this valuable utility. The difficulties of the situation seem to be the absence of harbors and, the boisterous surf which make the use of lighters or aerial cables necessary. The loading of the material would be possible only in summer on account of the -turbulence of the surf in other seasons. The coal and supplies now brought to the islands are unloaded by lighters and the same boats returning empty to the vessel might be employed to carry the bones. The cost of* native labor is $1.50 a day. The present price of sulphuric acid has reduced the supply of acid phosphate and this additional source of phosphate and ammonia is to be welcomed.

Bone has long been recognized an important source of fertilizer material as it contains both nitrogen and phosphoric add. No treatment except grinding is necessary to render its fertilizer ingredients available. The buffalo bones which were strewn over the western prairies have all been gathered and utilized as fertilizer. The supply of bone, however, has been very limited in recent years.
