So Edward Bayley, K.C,, Represent. ing Ontario Attorney-General, De- clared Before the Supreme Court. Every Housekeeper is Interested May 30.-The govern- the province of Ontario is in of a uniform marriage law "for the whole dominion of Canada. This was the umportant statement | made by counsel for this province in the argument in the Lancaster bill case before the supreme court this morning. | "While of the opinion that it is dii-| | fieult to give an unqualified yes or no | on any one of the questions submit- | ted in "this case," said Edward Hay- Hey, K.C., representing the attorney- | general of Untario, "the province of : Untario favors a uniform general mar- Ottawa, | ment of favor {framed that the legislative authorities | {of the provinces in relation to the sol- emnization of marriage are not there- | by violated. "The province, of Ontario considers that an act of parliament, which ren- ders valid throughout the dominion marriages performed in a province by persons legally authorized by such province, would have the effect of con cial authority throughout and on this view the passing of such! an act by the dominion parliament | would rather enlarge than encroach | R. €. Smith, K.C'., representing Gue- bee, followed Mr. Bavlev and made it perfectly "clear that his province was unalierably opposed to the énactment of the bill. A definite statement of Ontario's position in the matter was something which had been anxiously awaited for some time. : TO PE NO RECIPROCITY U.S. Senate Imposes Duty of $2 per Ton--implements on Free Washington, May 30.--After de- voling ithe day largely to the cou- sideration of amenuments to the non ana Steel bill the senate aa- Jouined on Wednesday night win out reaching a final vote * on that weasure. benator Heyburn hewd the oor upon adjournment and the understanding 1s that when he con- cludes a vote will be taken. 1 The amendments adopted place a long list of tarm implements on the ' fiee list; repeal the Canadian reci- procity iaw and provide for a duty of $2 per ton on, print paper and reduce the duty on pig iron to 6 per cent. and that on ferro-silicon to 10 per cent. There was a pro- longed and sharp controversy over an amendment by Senator Pomer- ant of Ohio, to take machine tools from the free list, as the house pro- vided, and fix a duty of 20 per cent. on them, This was defeated by 43 to 18, Senator Gronn first proposed the | repeal of all the reciprocity laws except the second section which permits the free admission of print paper from Canad Senator a moved as an amendment the repeal of the entire | reciprocity law, including the paper provision. This susgpfion was ae- cepted by Mr. Gronna, who with- drew his own amendment in its fa- vor. The effect of the success of the Gallagher amendment would have been to restore the Payne-Al- drich rate of $3.75 per ton on print paper and Senator Cummins declar- ed his unwillingness to go so far. | He then proposed a rate of $2 ver | ton on print paper, which Mr. Gal- lagher accepted. The vote on this amendment stood 37 to 27. | Senator Cummins stated positive- ly that if it should become a law, the provision would have the effect of placing a duty of $2 per ton on paper from all other countries as well as on that from Canada.

Rome, May 30.--The government has decided to recall to Italy im- | mediately all Italians' in Turkey who are exempt from the expulsion order. The reason given is alter- natively stated that massacres are feared when in the near future It- aly begins aggressive action a- gainst Tureky, naval operations be- ing in abeyance until the exodus is complete, or because the exempted persons are skilled artificers or others who are connected in im- portant ways in aiding Turkish in- dustries whose withdrawal might cripple the Porte.

WORDS ABOVY GREENS AS FOOD. 1912. Landlady's Solicitude Brings Down Upon Her Head a Wellamerited Rebuke -- Uses of Strawbérry Shortcake Shown. By Walt Mason Baio. ERRN ' iH ed the star boarder with mural re- signation. "The same yesterday, day and forever." "You should be glad to have greens, * protesied the landlady, stern- ly. "At this season a vegetable diet is better than a course in a sanitari- um. All the doctors say that there ke nothing better than boiled vegeta: es. to 'Your enthusiasm for greens as a curative agent is admirable, Mrs, Jig- gers," said the star boarder, should not lose sight of the fact that vou are conducting a family boarding- house, not a hospital. It seems to me that before prescribing for vour pa- trons you should have some #vidence that they are ill. You have not look- ed at my tongue or felt my pulse or tested my digestive apparatus with a tuning fork, yet I find that you have made my health your personal con- cern and are prescribing greens. 1 ap- preciate your solicitude, my dear Mrs Jiggers, but 1 assure you that my physical condition is excellent and you may change my diet at once and give me solid food again. "Your zealous indorsement of greens has a depressing effect upon me in more ways than one. It makes me question the existence of absolute hon- esty in this world. Ti such a consei- entious matron as you, Mrs. Jiggers, is willing to allow your financial in- tergsts to govern your judgment, then we may despair of absolute integrity. I can't help feeling that you recom- mend greens so strongly, not because they are a specific for that tired feel- ing, distress after eating and ringing noises in the shoulder blades, but ber cause they cost you next to nothing. "The lawns of this community are strewn with dandelions = and kindred weeds, and the lawn owners employ masterless hovs to dig them up - and carry them away; the boys convey them to the rare and radiant ladies who run boarding houses and sell them for afew kopeeks the -basketful; thus gaining profit beth coming and going. In all the world there 18 no thing cheaper than the materialy for a dinner of expensive by comparison. "It is well for the boys to earn sun- dry farthings in this manner; it is well for the lawn owners to have the dandelions despoiled; it would be well if the landlords would boil the dan delions and dish them up, a pallid mess, to their famished boarders- if these landladies would be open amd honest, if they would say: 'We are dishing up these ghastly greens every day, not because they are fit to eat, but because they are the . cheapest things we know of, and it behooves us to get ahe ad of the game whenever possible." "Ui you would adopt that course, my dear Mrs. .Jiggers, we'd respect you and sympathize with youn, and would swallow our greens with a firm determination to look cheerful. Bui, alas ! you resort to the cheapest of subterfuges. You pretend that you are greatly worried over our health; you fear that we are going into a decline, and you are ancious to rescue us from untimely graves by loading us to the guabds with greens. "I have boarded here many moons, Mes. Jiggers, and 1 don't recall that vou ever waxed enthusiastic over the remedinl virtues of fried oysters; vet many learned and . able physicians fried oysters are an excel lent tomic, strengthening the nervous system and rejuvenating the liver; | have never heard you sing the praises of .eanvas-buck duck, vet Sir Astley Cooper and many other distinguished physicians of the old and new world unite in saving that there is nothing better for digestive derangements than this brand of duck. Any true scien tist will tell you' that when yom" boarders are suffering from insomopmn or other maladies there is nothing better than porterhouse steak with mush rooms, but a gréat deal of water has run under' the bridges since vou said a word dip favor of that combin ation, "Be honest, Mrs. Jiggers; be candid and straightforward, and retain the confidence and admiration of vow boarders. Don't be like the druggist on the corner, who talked for thre hoors to sell me a new brand of cigar. He makes half a cent more on that cigar than on any other and 1s willing to poison hiv customers for that small rake off. 9 "Which reminds me that 1 18 reading in a standard medical work last evening that the best thing peo ple ean get at this season, when the blood is sluggish and short of red corpuscles, 1s strawberry shortcake with plenty of eream and sugar." greens A FATAL BIRD HUNT.
