It was fitting that on the first aunt versary of that day a suitable mext- orial should be erected im the form of a maple leaf. W. F. Nickle, M. P., referred to the last time that he had seen the late Lieut. Day. It was a sunny Sunday at Valcartier and there were a number of others who now occupy unmarked graves on the fields of Flanders sitting around. All were in the best of spirits and willingly going to whatever fate awaited them in their part of the great war. Lieut.-Col. C. A. Low, command- the square of soldiers the great part in the war that the 14th Regiment had taken. There were forty officers of the regiment when the war hroke out and every one had offered his services. Some were now at the front, some in Eng- land some in Canada training for their part in the fight. Lieut. Day Was an officer of the 14th Regiment and with many others had made the supreme sacrifice, Dr. J. W. Edwards, M. P. P., said that in 1815 the British soldiers had fought successfully the great battle of Waterloo' and brought undying fame to the British soldier and Em- pire. Just one hundred years later Canadian soldiers showed that th y were able to keep up that tradition united Canada with thé fice that men could make--that .of giving up their lives for their coun- try.

While the Kidney-Liver Pills arouse the action of liver, kidneys and bowels, and 86 overcome derange ments of these organs, the Nerve Food enriches the blood, strengthens the nerves and builds up the system in a general way, A R.

My kidneys were bad, too, and I had awful pains in the back all day. I doctored with our family doc- tor, but he did not seem to know what I needed. I was recommended to try Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and could sleep well three nights after starting the use of the Nerve Food and Kidney-Liver Pills. I take great pleasure in recommending these me- dicines, as I have proved that they do all that is claimed for them." When used together the Nerve Food should be used after each meal and at bed-time, and the Kidney-Liv- er Pills only as often as is necessary to keep the bowels in healthy condi- tion.

PROHIBITION AND HYDRO BILL MADE THINGS LIVELY Hydro Trouble A Serious Proposition For the Government--Bitter At. tacks By Conservative Newspapers, . (Special to the Whig). Toronto, April 22.--Prohibition and Hydro are the two things which made the Legislature hum this year. The. Prohibition attraction was ex- pected; the Hydro excitement blew up more suddenly and yet held the centre of the stage during most of the session. Neither of the two big features of the Session = has strengthened the Government, and one of them has certainly weakened it perceptably. The Government. deserves credit for introducing, the Prohibition bill and the co-operation between - the parties on this measure was an en- foulging sign for good government in Ontario. Yet everybody knows, and it is becoming more apparent ev- ery day, that the prohibition bill in | all its essentials, is an Opposition, | rather than a Government triumph. | All through the Sessibn the rejoic- ings for prohibition, with a few scat- | tered exceptions, came from the Li- beral side of the House. Never was this characteristic more marked than at the final passage of the bill in its third reading, when the measure | would have become law without any ! demonstration at all, if it had not | been for the joy-making of the Oppo- sition. This ts not to say that the Conser- vative voters in the province are not | enthusiastic about Prohibition, but tainly not holding any celebrations over it. The Hydro trouble is even a more serious proposition for the Govern- ment. The matter is very complicat- ed and it is impossible at present to fathom all the motives cipals engaged. Out of the confus- ion, however, emerge clearly two facts. First, the power of Sir Adam Beck has been curtailed by the Gov- ernmgnt; and secondly, there is a serious split between tio Government of Ontario and the representatives of municipalities, Conservative and Li- beral alike, interested in the Hydro mn. the official Conservative party is cer- | of the prin- | scheme, in both Eastern and Wes- tern Ontarig. The bitterest attacks which the Conservative Government has faced since its accession to power in 1905 have come within the last few weeks from Conservative newspapers and Conservative Mayors, who claim that the Government is doing the Hydro movement grievous harm, A section of the Conservative press, lead by the Toronto Telegram, goes so far as to demand the formation of a ney party, which show that the Conser-. vative Government with all its nom- inally large majority is actually in a precarious position. ood -------------- + Earl Weis Governess.

All men in train service on the Grand Trunk System have to under- 80 a strict and scientific examination as to their vision, color sense and hearing before being employed by the railway, and those already in service must pass satisfactorily a re-exami- nation at least every two years, Dr. 'H. B. Carmichael, M.D., Divi- sion Surgeon, Eastern Division of the Grand Trunk Railway System, in a Paper contributed to the Canadian Medical Association Journal, tells of the results of these rigid examina~ tions. Out of 1,275 plied for entrance to the railway ser- vice, 80 were rejected, having failed to pass the high standard demanded | in vision, color sense, or hearing. De- fective vision was responsible for the failure of twenty-seven of these men, while thirty-two had a defective col. or sense, and one defective hearing. Each employing officer in the com- pany is held responsible for keéping record of the dates that employees are due for re-examination, and by this means the company is assured that each man employed in the hand- ling of trains has the proper physi- cal requirements to fulfil his duties safely and well, Re ---- Britain Rules the Waves: Washington, April 22.-- American Red Cross headquarters announced last night that because of inability to obtain permits from the Entente Allies for shipment of supplies of any kind to the Central Powers, it had become necessary to request all Red Cross chapters and other relief or- ganizations to refrain until further notice from sending such supplies to the Brooklyn Terminal Warehouse for shipment.

Within a year it had crossed the Atlantic, and now ap- pears to have taken firm hold on this continent. As a craze or fad there is not a great deal to commend it, but we believe it may be made into something very different from a craze or fad, It is as an educative and in- expensive hobby, full of interest to alert minds, that we commend the habit of collecting picture stamps. You can lend individuality to your letters, parcels and books by using these stamps as seals and name- plates, and develop your own appre- ciation of beauty in Art by becoming familiar with the famous statues and pictures. There are also series il- lustrating Bible Lessons, scenes in other lands, and portraits of great authors. Far from being merely a foolish craze, a reasonable and intel- ligent collection of picture stamps can claim the three great qualities of (a). practical usefulness, (b) beauty, (¢) instructiveness. The price (post paid) of any sheet of 10 stamps is 5¢., or 10c., for a neat box containing 20 stamps. The com- plete series (23 sheets), will be sent for $81.15. Should a large quanti- ty of sheets be required a special price can be quoted by the publishers Thos. Nelson & Sons, 95 King street, east, Toronto, The collection of picture stamps forms an interesting and instructive hobby for 'boys and girls. Hitherto it 'has been the custom in Ontario and elsewhere for teachers to give away to the pupils in the primary classes a colored paper star. These stars were: distributed as rewards for merit, good conduct, good at- tendance, ete, and it has been de- monstrated time and again that wihere teacher gives away a stamp in. stead of a star the pupil does his very best to come to sthool every day and puts forth his best efforts while in school. The stamps are printed on specially manufactured non-curling paper and are sold eith- FORMERLY OF ROCKWOOD HOS- PITAL STAFF. - RSNA Is Now With The Ontario Hospital at 'Orpington, England--He Pays "a Tribute To Nursing Sisters, Capt.

I was on the point of giving him a shot of morphine when a man on a stretcher waiting his turn to get a bed and be at to, start ed to sing a chorus. Seotty gritted his teeth, looked up at me with big tears in his eyes, '"'Capton, you'll think I'm a lassir, but I 'sve a lost my nerve." Then he smiled, and I bent over and been through all the hell you are ever going through or ever were des tined to go through." He smiled "Doctor, have you a fag?' 'I gave him one and lighted it for Aim. Not another sound from him. I left him smoking. I went about my work. About ten minutes later a sister touched my arm. I turned around to hear whispered in my ear, "Sergt. Mcintyre has just died." Her eyes were filled with tears, and mine were blurred a moment later, when I saw Scotty with the cigarette butt in his fingers and realized how our mation breeds men. Lo. Ford Interested In Sal ite.
