Her experience with them, as she outlinés it, explains why. "I was greatly troubled with my stomach', she writes. "I had taken so much medicine that I might say to take any more would only be making it worse. My stomach just felt raw. I read of Na-Dru-Co Dyspepsia Tablets, and a lady friend told me they were very easy to take, so I thought I would give them a trial and really they worked wonders. Anyone having anything wrong with his stomach should give Na-Dru-Co Dyspepsia Tablets a trial, they will do the rest. My stomach is fine now aud I can eat any food." "One of the many good features of *. Na-Dm-Co pepsia Tablets is that they are so pleasant and easy to take. The relief give from heartlurn, flatulence, biliousness and dyspepsia is prompt and permanent.

The performance reminds Lee of the proceedings by. the Canadian parlia- ment which year after year passed re- solutions in favour of Home Rule for Ireland. There was no apparent ef- fect.

The council may assert that they will submit. any such contract to the people, but no ratepayer should assent so the by-law unless he has in the terms of the bydaw to be voted on on Jan. lst, the explicit proviso that if the by-law is carried, any con- tract based upon it must--not may-- be submitted for approval, or ro- jection. That would be the business way; that would be the only way. Unless the city council pledges itawii;] officially--through the medium 'of a condition in the by-law itseli--to sub. mit a contract authorized by the by-law, if carried, any unofficial as- surance they may give might not be carried out by the council of the next or succeeding years." : The discussion in Peterboro will liven up.the discussion of the power by-law in Kingston.

This by-law is not meant to give the council the authority to make a contract, and if there is any doubt upon the subject it should ha removed, . EDITORIAL NOTES. THE REAL REFORM. tb confident. that such a change would greatly reduce the cost of adminis tering the goverument, and that iu would add greatly to its efficiency. It would take away the power to use"the patronage of the government for political purposes." That is suggestive of real reform. The time is coming--Mr. Taft's re commendations would indicate - that it is near--when the government's bu- sinees will ba conducted ITRe the bui- ness of any company 'or aggregation of business men. The successful in- dustried of the country are manned by men who have qualified for the eer vice in which thoy are engaged, and their occupation and service are: not affected by any fluctuation in the political fortunes of their employers, The people's business can never he a success if it is to be demoralized from time to time by the #poils sys- tom, by the dismissal of men and' the engagement of others to guceeed they without fitness for the work. Mr. Taft is weary of the system which would embroil him in all the petty. difficulties of patronage meddling, and it is not remarkable that there should be a change. Will' congress act upon his recommendation ? There will be trouble unless there is a change inthe interest of the western provinces in the immediate future. And the west will eventually be the power in politics. : Jews, They have been persecuted be. |P® f cently. MUNICIPAL NOMINATIONS. Pittsburgh 'Township.
