If this was not complied with, - he thought the government should withdraw the a ristion now vot ed for the beautifying of the city. This, he declared, was conservation and it was just as necessary to com- serve life as it was forests on nny other-of our national resources. Dr. Black also advocated the appoint. siwnt of a public health bureau by the government. ; Some members opposite shouted. "Carried." Mr. Black retorted "1 see many members ite who drink more whiskey than water." Hon. Mr. Pugsley said the govern- ment cannot do much more than it has done and the Ottawa authorities should a jate it. He said that no man or ¢ is safe from typhoid if they drink the erude Ottawa river water. He declared thet the water was analyized every week and was ly safe to drink, But he thought that Ottawa should get its supply from some other source, the Gatineam Hills for instance and he would co operate with the city as regards ex pendituro if this could be arranged, Mr, German, from Welland, said he had many reasons to offer for the a tn the Jag of libeealiom been cra in the lap of liberali but this question of reciprocity is so #0 momentous, so. nt, t a man, no matter how staunch a party man he may be, must stop, think onl refloat before crowded he casta his vote.

WOULD REVIVE DUCKING STOOL Thinks it Most Efficient Cure For Women Scolds. Lowell, Mass., March 3.--Chief of Police Redmond Welch wants to re- establish a ducking stool for scolding women. y "In the olden times," said he, "the scold was punished with the ducking stool. To-day a jail sentence is the penalty for railing and brawling. "The offender may be the mother of a family from whom we do not [ wish to separate her, but she may have a tongue that no power can check and be the chronie disturber of an other wise peaceful neighborhood. For such a' woman the ducking stool would be the moat humane and the most effi- cacious punishment." PARDON FOR = FER." British Government Secures Release of Man.

Pekin, March 3.--~Famine and the we are sweeping over China, The nown deaths from the plague number 30,000, and, according to the official statistics, the death rate av 200 daily. But the officials have little knowledge of the conditions in the in- terior, or, if they have, they are not mitting the facts to be known. here are few or no foreigners in the interior, and conditions there, for this reason, are not attracting more pub- lic attention. It is impossible even to estimate the number of deaths have resulted irom lack of food. Dr. Samuel Cochran, an American, who is in the work of relief, writes: "One million people will die before the first crop is harvested. This will be scanty, because the people have not the strength to till the soil, and no animals remain for plonghing." The Chinese are Rirating Beir of- forts to control the plague chiefly along the railways and frontiers, for litical reasons, Since the recent ussian request for permission to cross the border and quarantine Chi- nese towns along the Amur, 'Ching' has been attempting to check the plague along that frontier, but the Russian ation says that this has been done ineffectively, because there are no doc- tors there who are familiar with mo- dern methods of sanitation. The local authorities, including the police and soldiers, in former epi demics, left the people to die; now they do not care or do not know how to maintain "adequate sanitary measures. Although the central government has |. issued explicit orders, and many of them, both supplies and funds are lacking. Japanese and Russians have both offered assistance, but only in a few places have (hese offers been ac- ted, the Chinese not liking to re ceive favors from foreigners, whose political motives they distrust, Physicians engaged in { the disease are of the opinion that warm weather will kill the germs, al- jhough this may be only a temporary Resp Hs the plague. were of the bubonic type, the summer heat would serve to augment it, bubonic being conveyed by fleas, rats and other ver- min, which thrive - in warm atmos pheres.
