Mr. King's Liberal government, which had just extricated itself from disaster, found its most solid support in Quebec Province, and Quebec has consistently opposed a project which is thought to threaten the supremacy of its chief city. It has even been argued Out the Canadbn 'government could not legally carry out the canalization without the assent of the province. At the time -Montreal newspapers pointed out that the joint engineering board was divided as between the American and Canadian representatives, and that the Canadian advisory commission, unlike the American one, had failed to bring in its report. Difficulties were emphasized; it was said that Ontario could find the power which it wants elsewhere than in the St. Lawrence, and that the Western wheat provinces were more interestd in the Hudson Bay than the St. Lawrence route. The Canadian railroads, which carry some 150,000,-000 bushels of grain annually from the upper lake region, were not favorable. Against this background it is easy to understand Premier King's hesitation.

"Before I began their use I was very weak and nervous.. I had always worked hard, with no thought of health, until suddenly, my strength left me. I began to feel tired and pressed, and did not sleep well at night, feeling just as tired In the morning as when I went to bed at night. I began to feel discouraged when I would think of the work sary for me to do. I got some medicine from the doctor whom I consulted, but it did not appear to meet my case as I showed no improvement while taking it. Then a neighbor advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I got a supply of this medicine. I very soon found they were helping me, and I continued their use until I was well again, and I have been strong and well ever since."

A medicine for the baby or growing child--one that the mother can feel assured is absolutely safe as well as efficient--is found in Baby's Own Tablets. The Tablets are praised by thousands of mothers throughout the country. These mothers have found by actual experience that there is no other medicine for little ones to equal them. Once a mother has used them for her children she will use nothing else. Concerning them Mrs. Charles Hutt, Tancock Island, N.S., writes: "I have ten children, the baby being just six months old. I have used Baby's Own Tablets for them for the past 20 years and can truthfully say that I know of no better medicine for little ones. I always keep a box of the Tablets in'the house and would advise all other mothers to do so." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by all medicine dealers or will be mailed upon receipt of price, 25 cents per nox, by The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Ad. dress Indianapolis Cancer Lospital lndiar A New Story of The Ypres Salient Told in "The Battle Book" Here is a little story of the Ypres Salient which probably few persons have ever heard:-- 'In June, 1916, work had begun on the deep galleries that led ultimately to the great mines under the Messines Ridge, when, in the Petit Bols, and | enemy blow destroyed 150 feet of the gallery. "Twelve men were entombed, and j the reserve party labored under great; difficulty for ten days to break out and , make a new gallery. When at last \ they got througbi they discovered the bodies of the imprisoned men, who j had collected near the block to listen > for sounds of rescue work, and had j all been suffocated, as this point, hap- j pening to be the lowest, was a pit of j foul air. lut one -man, a miner by trade, ! had stayed in a higher part of the gallery, and 6e was found alive. He ; owed his life to finding half a pint of water in a bottle, which he kept taking into his1 mouth and returning to the flask." This incident, with 200 pages of others, is told in "The Battle Book of Ypres-," compiled by Miss Beatrice Brice, with the assistance of Lieut-General Sir William Puiteney, and a foreword by Field-Mars'Val LoTd Plainer. The volume is published "as a memorial book of' Ypres in furtherance of the aims of the Ypres League." No such record has been made before, and it wild probably be treasured by those who read it like a family Bible or an old copy of Homer.

The Firestone Balloon Tread, scientifically designed three years ago, and unchanged today has the wear-resisting qualities that give thousands of extra miles. This tread must be placed on a carcass that has the qualifications to withstand terrific flexing. The Firestone carcass is made of cords dipped in rubber solution which not only saturates and insulates every fibre of every cord, but unifies sidewalls with carcass, eliminating any possibility of separation under the extreme flexing of low-pressure tires. The Firestone Dealer in your locality will gladly explain the Gum-Dipping process, the scientifically designed tire tread, and other advantages that only Gum-Dipped Tires can give.
