A Birthday Party.

The ex- perience that followed was very like the experience of the Board of Con- trol in Montreal at the outset, and with members , who were capable of splendid service. Then in St. John, as in Montreal, and in connection with its. Council, some of the discre- dited men '"'came back," and in office disappointed the people. In other words the Commission, when not con- stituted of the best men, can do sloppy work, and in St. John such has bean the revulsion against the Commission that the Legislature will be asked to. interfere. It will be asked to grant St. John the power of returning to the Council as the mor ble form of Government, and the one which the people can the more readily correct when jt goes wrong. The Commjssion is all right when it displays the wisdom gut efficiency of superior, men. When they fail the Commission, like - the Council, suffers. -------------- The Monacle Man has no regard for the war grafter. He should be sim- ply taken out and shot. Shooting, indeed, is too good for him. THE SENATE ALL RIGHT. The cry, that the Federal Govern- went is hindefed in any way, in: the performancs of its duty to the war, is not correct. The Senate voted at once, without delay or hesitation, the war supplies, the war loan, and the war taxes, and hemce the Gov- pment; with all the money it need: ed, or all the sinews of war, has no occasion to curse or condemn the upper chamber.

In England there are no scandals , in the buying of supplies, and in the clothing of the soldiers. There are no politics in any branch of the public service. Canada can have all the advantages of the mo- ther country in these respects. Can- ada can buy without graft. It can properly authorize accounts and pre- sent them in such a way that the Auditor-General may be relieved . of all his troubles, . With all these reforms carried into effect, with the grafters run down or run into jail, with. all the Acan- dals cleaned up, so that there can be no doubt as to the guilty par ties, the Government can go to the people with a clear conscience. To decide upon an election while the scandals are still under consi deration, with a new grist reported but mat yet developed, there will not be anything - else than a washing of dirty linen in public. - The. party in power may not be able to con- vince the people that it will clean house after the election when the cleaning should be done before this | enty-six years, walked from her home in the Township of Pittsbugh to the city, a distance of sixteen miles, pur- chased twenty-five pounds of seed and returned to her home.

Meat | which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get slugish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Near- ly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, . dizziness, | sieeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of pas- Sage or attended by a sensation of | scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful | in a glass of water before breakfast | and in a few days your kidneys will | act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has | been used for generations to flusk | and stimulate the kidneys, also to | neutralize the acids in urine so it! no longer causes irritation, thus end- | ing bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can- | not injure; makes a delightful effer- veacent lithis-water drink which ev- eryone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and ac- | tive and the blopd pure, the: ereby avoiding serious kidney complica- | tions.
