This simple treat- ment cannot cause injury, but care should be exercised to get real rela- tone. If Stomach Hurts - Drink Hot Water "If dyspeptics, sufferers from gas wind or flatulence, stomach acidity or sourness, gastric catarrh, heartburn. ete, would take a teaspoonful of pure bisarated magnesia in half a glass of hot walter jramediately aftgr eating, they would soon forget they wers-ever afflicted 'with stomach trouble, and doctors would have to Jook elsewhere for patients." In explanation of these words 8 well known New York physi- cian stated that most forms of stom- ach trouble are due to stomach acidity and fermentation of she food contents of the stomach comPhed with an in- sufficient blood supply to the stomach Hot water increases the blood supply and bisurated magnesia instantly neu- tralizes the excessive stomach acid and stops food fermentation, the combina tion of the two, therefore, being mar. velously successful and decidedly pres ferable to the use of artificlal diges- tants, 'stimulants or medicines, for in digestion.

Some of the Men Who Are Going lo Ottawa for the First Time Have Already Won Reputations in Local Politics, and Others Have Been Prominent in Social Ac- tivities. HEN the Parliament assembles some time in March--it cannot be call- ed Dbefore--it will be bardly.recognizable. Few of the old- timers are left, and there will be at least one hundred and thirty-five new faces, This is particularly true of Ontario and the West. ". Of the four Prince Edward Island members only one sat in the old House, J. J. Hughes, Parliament could have lost him without any mourning. He was one of the bores in the last Commons, "No man could 80 quickly empty the House and the press gallery. The three new mem- bers are ull without Parliamentary experience. Althdugh by the present returns the Opposition has a majority In Nova Scotia it is expected by the time the deferred elections in Halifax are held and the soldiers' vote is counted that the Government will have a ma- jority. However, under the present line-up there are not many new faces. Hon. W. 8. Fielding and Hance J. Logan, in Cumberland, are 'both old members with long experi ence.' Robert H. MacKay, who car ried Pictou for Laurier, is a member of the local Legislature, There are new faces from Hants and Yar- motith. © L. H. Martell, who carried Hants for Laurier, is a brilliant young lawyer, who was formerly in the civil service at Ottawa. E. K. Spinney is the Liberal Unionist who was elected 'from Yarmouth. Laur ier campaign managers have been predicting that Spinney would sup- port, him, but this is doubtful. Old members who will be back are A. L. Davidson, of Annapolis; D. D. Mae- Kenzfe, George W, Kyte, Dr. Chis- holm, Lieut. W. H. Carroll, and Hon. F. B. McCurdy. Of New Brunswick's tion of eleven ma less were in the last hbuse. F. J. Robi- doux, one of the few French-Cana- dians in the last House, who stood by conscription, was defeated in Kent, a French riding. The French voted solidly against him, and a new representative, a Richibucto farmer, Auguste T. Leger, will represent the county. Robidoux's defeat is much regretted. A quiet, unostentatious member, he was growing in the opin- ton of the House and was marked for With Hon. J. D. Hazen and Hon. Wm. Pugsley no longer in politics, St. John City has sent two new representatives for Union, both men who stand high in that city. The Conservative-Unionist is. R. W., Wigmore, one of the Com- missioners of the City of §. John. He a public man of experience and with splendid administrative ability. He should be a decided ac- quisition to the House. Stanley E. Elkin, the Liberal-Unionist, is a pro- minent manufacturer and busginess man, Some. of the old-timers will be missing when the Ontario - roll is called. Those - veteran members, Hou. David\ Hendersdn and Hon, Andrew Broder, will be specially missed from their familiar haunts. They were two of the oldest and men in Parliament. They have both re- tired on aceount of ill health. Two other figures familiar at Ottawa, who will not b& in the Commons, are the new Sejators John Fisher and W. H. Ben 1t is intéresting to recall that away back ib 1892 there were held at the same time five bye-elections which were bitterly contested. The Conservatives carried all five and five new members made the next session their bow to the House. five remained in politics for nearly new representa~ than seven fluential members of the Commons, They were Sir Sam Hughes, Mr. W. 'F. Maclean, Mr. W. B. Northrup, Mr. W, H. Smith, and Mr. W. H, Bennett. Despite the many and rapid changes in the polit 1 arena, all five sat in the last rijgment. However; only three will be found in the next Par- liament: Sir Sam, Mr. Smith, who carried his riding, South Ontario, by over a thousand, and Mr. Maclean. Oliver Wilcox will be missed from He was a very popu- He died recently 'representation, w - i Bam 1s another figure missing from the pew Parliament, thanks to his ef- forts to ride both horses, He tried to get a nomination as a Unionist candidate, but failed to get a conven- tion. Towards the end of the cam- paign be supported on the platform what he ¢alled conscription Laurier candidates, The West will have an complete new representation, Only three of the former Manitoba mem bers will be in the new House, Hon. Arffir Meighen, Robert Cruise, and Dr. Molloy. There' will be some new blood from Manitoba which should have considerable influence on the deliberations. George W, Allan, K! C., the new member for South Win nipeg, is one of the leaders of the Manitoba bar. R. C. Henders, the new mémber for MacDonald, is one of the leaders of the Grain Growers, He Is gn able speaker and a man of wise and original thinking. Dr. Whidden, president of Brandon Bap- tiet College, 1s the new member for Brandon. He ls a man of outstand ing ability who will be watched at Ottawa. Mr. R. L. Richardson, the aggressive editor -of The Winnipeg Tribune, who sought the hard seat of Springfield, is returning to Ottawa after over twenty vears' absence, Ha was elected in 1896 as a Liberal for Lisgar. Later he was defeated in_y] bye-electioh. Saskatchewan also, which Calder has succeeded in sweeping, despite hard, opposition, will Beve but three old "'mémbers: Mr. J. G. Turriff, in Assiniboia; Mr. Levi Thompson, Qu' Appelle, and Mr. Thomas MacNutt in Salteoats. They were all former supporters of Laurier, who deserted him on the igsue of conscription. Of the new members the most outstand- ing is Mr. James Wilson, of Saska- toon, a pioneer of that city who has been one of the leaders! in every publie-spirited cause in that ambit- fous centre for a decade, Dr. Cowan, the successful Unionist in Regina, ie a Mayor of the city and prominent for years in southern Saskatchewan politics. . ; Three former members of Alberta will also be back: W. A. Buchanan, Lethbridge; Dr. M. Clark, Red Deer, and James Douglas, Strathcona. Mr. W. H.White, who ran as a Laurier candidate in Victoria, may be elect- ed, but it is doubtful after the sol dier vote is counfed. General Gries. bach, who has defeated Hon. Frank Oliver In Edmonton West, is one of the most brilliant of the youag Can- adian Generals who have brought such lustre to the name of Canada in France. He is only 38. He took the famous 49th Battalion of ¥d- monton to the front and is now Brigadier-General. Calgary, despite' the retirement of R. B. Bennett, will be again well represented at Ottawa. T. M. Tweedie, - the naw Unionist mamber for Calgary West, is one of the most popular lawyers in Alberta, He is almost as brilliant an orator as Bennétf. He sat in the Alberta Legislature for two terms, where he was recognized as the main fighting force of the Opposition. He is able, energélic, and aggressive. Major D. E. Rodman, who has carried East Calgary, is a returned soldier, who is a prominent lawyer. He is one of the few veterans of the war who will sit in the pext Parliament. Four of the old House will found in the new Parliament from British Columbia. They are Hon. Martin Burrell, Herb Clements, R. LF. Green, and H. H. Stevens. The best known of the new members is Dr. 8. ¥. Tolmie, who was Domin- ion Live Stock Commissioner for West, and retired to run. He is a recogtiiged authority on live stock, and his wide experience will be of the greatest value to the new Par- lament. almos* 'What Canada' Has Done. To those who know anything of the vast quantities of high explosives and 'munitions. of alt sorts shipped across the Atlantic in the past three years the biggest wonder in connec- tion with the Halifax tragedy Is that something of the kifld has not An? of" happened in one of our harbors be- fore.. .. Every single day for more than two years past Canada alone has shipped 40 to 50 carloads of mu- nitions and an average of 3b car- loads of other army supplies. That means that two very long freight trains with suppifes, more than half of them explosive in char-: "acter, have gone tq the wharves daily for the voyage across the Atlantic. But pot only has there been no earlier accident on shipboard, but it is noteworthy that not a ship loaded with Canadian munitions or other supplies has been a victim of the U- boats, with the single exception of [ ple two years or so ago. That ship, loaded with horses, wae sunk, but every man in the crew rane is the only old member back. A, | bef $50000050 LDC 055808 i The Pilgrims Way § > at the Front | HE road Is straitly lined with elms for seven miles, writes Captain Roger Po- cock, the well known Cana~ dian author and brother of the cele brated actress, Lena Ashwell. ,West- ward it ends at a town. That isan old place, with three church towers, and a market square, which Chaucer mentioned, and Froissart filled with a fine clatter of gossip 600 years ago. Now, half the houses are burst with shell fire, and each day adds to thé ruins. Aft the other end of the road is a city, once lovely and illustrious in her age, which three great battles have ruined and over- thrown. Here is a doom like that of Pompeil or St. Pierre, and though the ancient city had sinned like Sodom she could not have been left more desolate. On either side of the road is a level country farmed with a skill gnd thrift not to be matched in Eu- rope yet covered on every patch of pasture and on many arable fields with the encampments of Hritish armies. © A few peasants live on the farms who are at intervals chased out by their officials, but come back at dusk, baving no place to go to, or any wish to live away from home. They sell coffee to the soldiers, silly cards embroidered in silk, veget- ables, eggs, and milk. ' They do & deal of washing for the troops. They tend the farms, and when a' barn is shelled, rebuild the walls. The chil- dren play their own games gravely among alien soldiers. » This road, which leads through the encampment of great armies, is filled with the<traffic of a pilgrimage such as the world has 'not seen. We have read of the Canterbury Pil- grims, of the pilgrimage to Mecca, aye, of the six Crusades, but history is nothing mote to us than a passing of shadows tHrough a haze of rain, while this pageant of the road is live and urgent. The skirl of the Irish bagpipes, or the Scots, or fife and drum bands of the English come up above the horizon and pass behind it eastward. There is deafening clatter of caterpillar tractors drawing heavy guns, the rattle of grimly-humorous tanks, the endless procession of lor ries with road metal, rations, shells, the rapid buzz of staff cars. There is the returning procession of buses bringing weary, mud-inerusted battalions 'back to rest-camp, 'of motor ambulances by hundreds. . . Then there are | labor & 1 going to work or returning, rest parties on the way te th~ baths, peasant families with carts drawn by dogs, Monstrous trench dredges, road engines, crippled aeroplanes all day. by the month; the traffic from the armiss of '"~» Dominions or: companies 0 dragged to camp for repatr: all night; | SECOND SECTION India; and Blighty, and the army of labor. Sometimes the roadside camps turn out to line the way while a processiom goes by, scantily guard- ed, of German prisoners. > This road is just as wide, long, and direct as Broadway in New York, but night and day more ¢rowded. Its fourfold stream of traffic does not slacken, Save when the military po- licemran on control opens or closes a branch road. Sometimes a shell bursts, makes a crater which must be filled at once with hurried labor, while ruined vehicles are dragged aside, the wounded sent away to hospital. . . When the traffic halts, one can hear the scream of shells overhead. . . .. As one grows used to the road one begins to notice that Chinese: working parties are never seen here, and 'Negro units only in the first mile eastward upon the Pilgrim's way, Two miles nearer is a hospital camp with 60 Canadian, Amstralian, and English ladies. In the miles eastward of that the labor companies are English, but only the English who are unfit for the front Tine. But the firs! line troops go on past these ffto the trenches. Half' way along the road the busy countryside gives place to a desolate waste, the avenue of {rées to stricken stumps, the daylight trafic this out, and one enters the zone of fire crowded with British batteries in action, Yet by de! © batteries advance, the forwa! a is filling with camps, the tra strengthens with the slow stress \of a victorious army, and sullen ithdrawals of beaten Germany. And we, who live in the wayside camps watch, as the weeks link up into completed months; the waning of German power, and the old German valor souring inte spite. His worn-out guns are no longer very accurate, $0 that his shells miss the road, and hit our camps. His airmen who before, al- most alone among Germans, had our heartiest respect, have taken {to bombing hospitals, deliberately. A prigrim is one who dedicates Rife, and we are pilgrims whose lives are dedicated. . Men so pre- pared are cheery, confidént..humor- ous, and kindly, and these are the four qualities one finds in every sol- dler on that. . highway. A Luc! pector.

The discovery was made accidentally ,by a man who was prospecting for pulpwood in the district. Three veins were lo cated, one of which is stated to be pearly twenty feet in width.
