Activity--His Hand Seen in All Recent Legislation. | Hon. A. G. MacRay, the leader of {the liberal party in the Ontario legis- {lature, came from the farm He was {born in the township of Sydenham, in ithe county of Grey, on March 7th, (1830, His father, Hugh MacKay, was ia native of Caithpess-shire; his moth- er, a Untherine Melnnes, claimed Islay las her birth place. Thus Mr. Mac {Kay is of Highland Scotch birth, and lin religion is, as his forebears were, a i Presbyterian, having been for years ione of the staunchest supporters of {Division street Presbyterian church, ithe pastor of which for thirty years, recently ending, was Rev. Dr. Somer- ville. : Educated in a rural public school and at the Owen Sound Collegiate In- {stitute, Nr. MacKay was a public |school teacher for three years. He is Ia first-class honor graduate of the {University of 'Toronto, taking his B.A. in 1853, and earning the still unconferred degree of M.A. in 1885. From 1583 until 1887 he was 5 high school principal. He entered law in the fall of 1887, and proved an honor and scholarship student. After three years practice he was appointed, from smang a large nimber of applicants, crown attorney for Grey, a position which he held until 1901, when he re: signed amd essaved: the task of re deeming North Grey for the liberals, a copstituency that ever since confedery- tion, with unbroken continnity, save the term of James Uleland, of Mea- ford, was member, remained true to the conservative cause. In the gene- ral election of May, 1902, Mr Mac- Kay was elected by five of a majority. A protest followed and a charge was proven that an agent of Mr MacKav's had paid for a livery rig to drive sailors from Meaford to Owen Sound, and Mr. Mackay was unseated. In the Lye-elittion his majority was 269, and in the general election of Jann ary, 1905, notwithstanding the gene- ral landslide, he was elected by a ma jority of 272. His increasing strength in the riding may be judged by the majorities Sn Owen Sound, as fol- lows : Cdnservative majority in I18UR, 220; majority against MacKay in 1902, 137; majority for MacKay in 1905, 165. Mr. MacKay has enjoyed the confi- dence of a large and ever-increasing clientele. Notwithstanding the fact that he has recently given much of his time to the public, in a list of eigh- teen civil cases disposed of recenjly at the Owen Sound assizes, he was solici- tof and, counsel in seventeen,and this is said to represent fairly the per: centage of work done by him in re cent years. .He is admitted to be the leader of the bar in the northern por- tion of Ontario. Mr. Mackay's remarkable and activity has not been confined to merely professional work. He has al- wavs taken an active and keen inter wt in oducational work, and was for ight years an influential member of the Uwen Sound Board of Eduration. Although it is the boast of his friends that he is a seli-made man, and that he has never received~a dollar since he was fourteen years of age that he did -not carn as a farm servant or in a . professional way, his Scotch thrift has been apparent, and he is, to-day, a heavy shareholder in and president of the Imperial Cement company, with extensive works at Owen Sound. He is also president of the Supreme Heating company, whose buildings at : energy Welland have just and plant installed. He is a director Baby's Own Soap is made expressly for the delicate skin of infants. ™ That is why thouserds of gentle- women find "Baby's Own" is all they need to preserve their complexions. Its daily use keeps the skin toft, cool and fragrant-- And renders the use of expensive skin creams unnecessary. Cheaper Imitations 'are necessarily harmful (we'll tell you 'why some day). Do not accept substitutes. Ask your dealer for "Baby's Own Soap"-- best for Baby and best for You. Try "Albert Talo" Violet Scented and Antiseptic, ALBERT SOAPS, LTD, MFRS, MONTREAL: of the Folding Box company, in Owen Sound, a company also just begin- wing. He is secretary of the Uwen Sound & Meaford Railway company, which he was largely instrumentat in organizing, and which has for its ahiect the securing of railwa-: connee tion between Owen Sound and eastern points. Mr. MacKay's work in the legisla- ture is still iresh in the public mind. from the first he took an active part in the debates. He was recognized as one of the most fluent and forceful speakers in the house. He was not re- garded as eloquent in the accepted sense, but his legal training enabled him to master a subject in every de- tail, and his energetic and rapid style of delivery made him a speaker of power and magnetism. He took a keen interest in all legal prob lems, and was able to assist the as- torney-general of the province on many important points. In the com- mittees the availability 'of his legal knowledge made him an influential figure in considering many public and |private measures. On the {mation of the Ross cabinet in the fall {of 1904, Mr. MacKay was sworn in as commissioner of crown lands, a posi- fion which he held until the defeat of ithe government a few months later. That short administrative experience demonstrated Mr. MacKay's umtiving energy and capacity. Stories are still told in the parliament buildings of how business was prosecuted - with celerity and decision during his short regime. As a member of the opposi- The OM-Time Spring Medicine for Children No Longer a Disturbing Dream: Give Them : and innutritions. sion Mr. MacKay has been a leading . He was one of the brave little band who offered an effective check against even the overwhelming forces of the Whitney government. As a critic, especially of the mining and university legislation, he did much to perfect two of the most important megsures passed in recent years.

Wonderful Success of Modern Method «f Treating Indigestion. The old-fashioned methods of treat ing stowach diseases are being dis carded. 'The trouble with 'the fashioned methods was that when the treatment was stopped the trouble re turned im an aggravated form. The modern method of teeating in digestion, catarrh of stomach or chron: ic gastritis, is to tone up the stomach and glands to do their normal work, Every step towards recovery is a step gained, not to be lost again. 'Lhe re covery of the appetite, the . disap pearance of pain, the absence of ga: all are steps on the road to health that those who have tried the tonic treatment remember distinctly. Dr. Wiliams' Pink Pills are a tonic every constituent of .which is helpful in building up the digestive organs and therefore are the very best rem- edy for chromic cases 'of stomach trouble, 'Ihe success of the treatment is shown by bundreds of cures like fhe following : Mrs. William E. Dunn, Frince Dale, N.S., says: "For upwards of seven years | was an almost continuous suf- ferer from stomach trouble, which was aggravated by obstinate constipation. Food was not anly distasteful, but every mouthfal 1 ate was painful. The trouble $0 affected my heart that at times I thought I could not live. 1 was constantly doctoring, but did not get the least relief. Indeed 1 was rowing worse, and in the summer of 1907 had got so bad that 1 went to the City of Bosten, where 1 spent some time under the care of a special- ist. I returned home, however, no better than when 1 went away. 'The pains 1 endured were almost intoller able, and would sometimes cause me to drop. 1 kept getting weaker and weaker and had practically given up Hope of ever being well again, when my mother urged me to try Dr. Wil tiams' Pink Pills. How thankful 1 now am that I took her advice. My case was a severe one and did not vield readily, but onge an improvement was noticed the cure progressed stead- ily and satisfactorily, and after the use of ten boxes of the Pills 1 was again a well woman. Every symptom of the trouble disappeared, and it is vears since | enjoyed as good health as 1 am doing now. All who knew me look upon my cure as almost a miracle, and I strongly urge all suf- fering from stomach trouble to give this medicine a fair tvial," Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or you can get them by mail at boxes for $2.50 from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Before going up to the University of Toronto, where I matriculated in 1557, a firm, but wise father insisted on my cooling my heels for a year or #0 as a village schoolmaster. It was certainly an interesting, though chastening experience to be the head master of the village school of Spo dunk (the nickname of a village 1 shall not further identify). This com munity, largely composed of farmers, freeholders. on an average of 100 acres a piece.
