throughout canada -the- senate will learn in no unmistakable way that thap of this country will not stand to have their wishes thwarted by the servants of the selfish liquor interests of canada it is probable that the majority of the cost of livjng committee of tho commons which ha3 been hearing tho evidence for some weeks will report to the house in favor of the appointment of a perman ent

passed to prevent people from buying and selling coal by the carload unless they are in the business any one dealing in coal must be properly equipped in the way of shed room pro vision for delivering etc before being granted n license which costs 25 and is issued by the fuel controller this enactment was made to protect men who invest in coal supplies all the year round for the convenience of the public this is all right if the dealers arc able to assure the general public that coal may be secured from their cars or sheds and the iiome needs supplied without the auxiliary aid given by private purchasers of carlots which have helped so efficiently in the past tho high price of coal is manifestly not due to any jack of coal to be mined in canada or the united states the last report of the fuel controller con tains the following should any one be alarmed about the coal supplies of canada and the united tates it is only necessary to point out that an esti mate made in 1910 gave the reserves of coal of all kinds in the united states with its 100000000 people as being 4231352000000 tons while canada with its population of 8000000 has 1300535000000 tons the output of tlic united states mines for 1018 was 5s55g0522 ton3 while that of canada was approxi mately 15000000 tons great britain that hive of industry for generations is credited with 208922 000000 tons reserves small in

of ontario the recognized body in the profession in the province has decreed that the majority of physicians will not condone the infringe ment of any laws which would be likely to bring the entire
