Dear Mr. Editor- -I wish to tell yotl of a recent experience I had when suffering suffering from backache, weak back, rheu- nkatism, dropsy, and congestion of the kjdneys. I tried a new medicine Called ^Anurie," which has recently been dis- c'overed by Dr. Pierce, of whose medicines medicines and Surgical Institution in Buffalo, N. Y., you have no doubt heard for years. This medicine acted upon me in a wonderful manner. I never have taken any medicine so helpful in such ' quick time. 1 do wish anyone in need of such a remedy would give it a trial. (Signed) G. H. Herb. ' Note : Folks in town and adjoining counties are delighted with the results , they have obtained by-using « ANÜJRIC , n the newest discovery of Dr. Pierce, who is head of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, in Buffalo, N. Y. Those who started the day with a backache, backache, stiff legs, arms and muscles, and an aching head ( worn out before the day began because they were in and out of bed half a dozen times at night ) are appreciating the perfect rest, comfort and new strength they obtained from Dr. Pierce's Anuric Tablets. To prove that this is a certain uric acid solvent and conquers headache, kidney and • bladder diseases and rheumatism, if you've never used the w Anuric," cut this out and send ten centsy to Doctor Pierce for a large sample package. This will prove to you that ^Anuric" Is thirty - seven times more ,*active than lithia in eliminating uric acid--and the most perfect kidney and-'bladder corrector. corrector.

Expenditures, as a result of extra appointments, have gone up itigly. A return made in the House of Commons made some memb and no wonder. Some information submitted will make Canadians everywhere gasp to read thfem. The War Tax everybody pays--an increase of 50 per cent on letter postage and 100 per cent on post cards--does not go to pay war expenditures'in expenditures'in the Post Department, but to pay the salaries of the thousands of extra employees that have been added as favors to political friends. Our readers know that the James Papers are out and out local journals and seldom refer to Dominion affairs and the doings of politicians, but when we read of how the peoples' money is being used to provide berths for heelers heelers and friends of members of parliament we felt it a dutyto our readers of every class and political bias to give them the following official figures read in the House: The number of appointments in the post offices of ten of the larger Canadian Canadian cities has been 5949, or more than five full battalions, since the Borden government càme into power. The expenses have gone up in^propor ion. The neb increase in the number of employees in those ten cities has been 1422. Patronage has caused the expenditure to go up enormously. No wonder a post office deficit of neatly $3,000,000 replaces the surplus that was the regular thing in the days of Liberal rule. An effort has been made to explain the deficit by referring to the expenses of increasing rural free delivery and the introduction of parcels post, but the real explanation is patronage. The post office "war taxes" do not pay war expenditures; they help to pay the cost of rewarding friends of the Borden government. A return brought down in the House of Commons shows the comparative comparative revenues for post offices in ten cities of Canada for 1911-12 and for 1914- 15, together with the comparative salary expenses for the skme years. The cities are Montreal, Toronto, Quebec, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Victoria, Three Rivers, Sherbrooke, St. John and HAlifax. In these ten cities the total revenue for 1914-15 shows an increase j of 48 per cent over the revenue for 1910-11. The total salaries, however, in the same ten cities for the same time show an increase of over ninety per cent. This salary increase does not mean that old and faithful employees were unduly unduly rewarded. It is due to the number of new'employees. Let us examine few examples: Montreal post office cost $542,918 in 1911; in 1914-15 it cost $1,118,964. Quebec post office expenses went tip from $91,186 to $236,244. Toronto rose from $506,811 to $963,415. ... ; V Winnipeg was increased from $23-7,470 to $402,006. In Vancouver the increase was from $161,818 to $310*218. These figures deal with salaries-alone. In the ten cities under review the salaries rose from $1,745,611 to $3,364,450--nearly double--while the revenues revenues increased only from $6,785,867 to $7,064,439. This is very sigmficant. Look at it. Business increase only $278,512 and salaries nearly doubled.--to provide friends with offices. Read this, and gasp. In 1911 there were 737 employees in Montreal post office. Since that time there have been 1,865 new appointments, permanent or temporary. Toronto had 657 on the post office pay list in 1911. Since that time there have been 2427 appointments, permanent or temporary. As has been said, in the ten cities named, there have been 5,949 appointments--or appointments--or more than five full battalions--since the Liberals went out of power. Many vacancies were due to death or resignation; but the number of permanent employees in the ten cities named has increased by 1,422 since the present government came in. Those who have been thinking that the stamp tax was a war measure will find these figures instructive. It is patronage that devours most of the money. $1,00000 REWARD For information that will lead to the discovery or whereabouts of the person or persons suffering from Nervous Debility, Diseases of the Mouth and Throat, Blood Poison, Skin Diseases, Bladder Troubles, Special Ailments, and Chronic or Complicated Complaints who cannot cannot be cured at The Ontario Medical Medical Institute, 263-265 Yonge St., Toronto.

Conservative press has been ver> bitter during the last week over what they have termed "a breach of the war time tiuce" by the Liberals forcing an election in North Perth at this time. As a matter of fact, £here was never any understanding between the Government and the Opposition Opposition in regard to bye-elections during the war. So far as the Liberal Party is concerned concerned Mr. N. W. Rowell has permitted each' local constituency to decide this matter for itself, and ,iow the electors have a choice as is their right to say who shall represent them. It is well to know that Mr. Torrance, the retiring Conservative Conservative member, was elected in 1914 for four years; and after serving but six months of the present year (for which he drew his yearly indemnity of $1400) he had resigned resigned his seat to accept a position in the Stratford Custom House at $175 a month, given him by his Conservative friends. It was not to be expected under these circumstances, that the electors would allow the selection of Mr. Torrance's successor successor to be left with the machine in North Perth. Liberals have chosen a candidate in the person of F. Wellington Hay and there will be an election as there should be. What right has any political machine to dictate to the electors who shall be their representative when the franchise was given to them to use as their judgment told them was for the best for the country. Canada has been cursed by machine politics too long. 7; HIS WIFE Stopped Most Terrible Suffering Suffering by Getting Her Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Vegetable Compound.

A VOICE FROM INDIA Indian Statesmen Stand Very High In The World of Great Men We have been intensely interested in this letter from Rev, James Smith. B. A., Secretary of the Bombay Tract and Book Society established 1827. Some four years ago Rev. Mr. Smith visited his coùsins Mrs. M. A. James and Mrs. J. Van Nest in Bowman ville, and preached in the Presbyterian and Methodist churches. When a young man-he taught school at Enfield some years. He was Principal of the College College at Ahmadnagar, India, for some 20 years before settling in Bombay. Here is the letter: Dear Mr. James--I must thank you Tor copies of- The Statesman which continue to interest me in spite of the fact that I have lived outside of Darlington Darlington now for 44 years.

The war is still the absorbing topic, with us When it is over there will be the great question of the relation of India to the Empire to settle. English statesmen and theDcminions beyond the seas, are inclined to ignore India in the matter.

The Western Provinces of Canada have experienced an acute shortage of Farm Laborers for Spring Seeding and Summer Work this year. Even when times were normal throughout throughout Canada moreover, it was always necessary necessary to bring from twenty-five to thirty thousand Laborers from Eastern Points for the harvest season.

There are three of these membranes, and theoretically inflammation can. affect any one of them by itself. Accordingly Accordingly physicians use various names to denote the exact location, pachymeningitis, leptomeningitis, and so forth,--but practically no such distinction is necessary. No matter which membrane is attacked first, the others are soon involved in the process. process. In the same way doctors distinguish distinguish verbally between cerebral and spinal meningitis, but whether the brain membranes or the spinal-cord membranes are attacked first, the others almost always become affected. Several forms of the disease are also also described, according as the inflammation inflammation is due to the germ of tuberculosis, tuberculosis, pneumonia, or influenza, or to special meningitis germ, according the disease is acute or chronic, of according as it occurs in isolated cases or epidemically. The epidemic form of cerebrospinal meningitis is really a distinct disease, and will be described in another article, but the symptoms of the other forms are very similar, whatever the primary may be. Acute meningitis usually quite suddenly with chills, perhaps in children with convulsions, high-fever, vomiting, severe headache and pain in the back. Restlessness, wakefulness, muscular twitchings, tenderness of the skin and rigidity of the spine are common symptoms, and as the disease disease progress these are often followed by paralysis of various muscles of the arms or legs. The eyes may become crossed, and drowsiness and stupor appear. When the affection comes On in the course of some other disease, disease, such as pneumonia or typhoid fever, these symptoms are offer masked by those of the primary trouble, trouble, anji it may be very hard to diagnose diagnose the meningitis. The underlying cause of meningitis is that of inflammation in general: injury, injury, exposure to cold and wet, fatigue, fatigue, privation, or anything that diminishes diminishes the power of resistance.
