force and that some special qualifications but were enjoying the respect that comes from tho semi- judicial state he queried itjont you think he continued that it wsujld be better if tiiey gave their whole time to this work if we l removed the fee system that has so disgraced the administration of justice in the past and placed them on a salary basis so that they could jive reasonably control t- ably and carry on without directing at tention to any other work after we nave made provisions for every sitting required in the province we can cover the whoe territory with 50 magistrates

his team mates accounting fofthe two runs scored against him babe clements was the hero of the contest securing four hits out of four tunes at the bat he alsd made a couple of fast fielding plays to cut off runners at the plate mitchell was the star for the losers turning in a great effort johnson and post supplied the fielding features batteries marsh and brush milton mitchell and lyons oakville umpires jackson of hamilton and nicholson of toronto oakville a runs 5 bits and a errors milton 3 nnoa 8 hits and 4 errors of those added last year are cut off do not mistake me it is much easier to be a good fellow and put men on the payroll it is not a nice thing to ask people to leave their jobs but we are obliged to do this work we were elected to clean up the mess and we arc going to do it there may be cases of occa sional hardship as a result but it is an inexplorable task that faces us we must reduce the burden of taxation and we are going to cut down not there alone but in other departments what would you say if you found that to contributions to ithe police force which last year cost 870000 there had been added as much as 118000 and that 56 men had been added to the force this year he asked dealing further with the administra tion of justice mr roebuck fell into a severe condemnation of the magisterial system particularly he emphasized that the new government intended to elect magistrates irrespective of party but with the proviso that they should have loft politics alone in the past tve propose to elect the best of magistrates irrespective of pary he announced and then added if they have left politics alone in the past they wulbc elected -irrespective- of the past we hope we may raise the grade of the administration of justice in these all important courts and we hope to hear more courtesy displayed not only in these courts but also on the street in ontario there were 147 magistrates administering the most basic and im portant courts with salaries ranging from 1200 to 6000 and 7000 a year these could be cut to 50 he believed what wouldf you jay if you found these men giving their odd tune to this allimportant work if uiey were frequently without a spirit of adventure is quite the proper one for cooking with spices the story of spices is a romantic one the bible and early histories tell us that spices were the wealtttof kings medlev- al merchants who dealt in spices became the kings of trade man roamed over the entire surface of the earth searching for spicegrowing lands and new routes to the old markets if suddenly all our spices were taken away from us we should nolss them and find our plain foods rather uninteresting we could then better appreciate the zeal of ancient kings who went so far as to wage wars to control the spice trade routes r however many cooks overlook entirely the possibilities of spices in everyday cooking a dash of ground cloves in rarebit or cheese sauces does something that is difficult to describe but pleasant to taste some people like a trace of sage mace or nutmeg with cheese the child and also the adult who dislikes niilk will find it transformed in flavor and appearance if a little ground nut meg or cinnamon is sprinkled on it a few wellchosen seeds or sprigs of herbs in salads give the magic touch which has made chefs famous recipes are difficult to give because seasoning is a delicate matter the rule is to pro ceed with caution but to experiment try combinations of seasonings whether or not you have ever heard of them always remember that it is usually the trace that can hardly be detected that is the most interesting and effective there are exceptions to this rule for instance celery seed generously used in potato salad or slaw improves the flavor for most people taste is the test so often spices are associated in our minds with hot foods that we are apt to use them only for cold weather cook ery however not all spices are pep pery even spicy gingerbread has
