he is liable to be fretful, but frequently a good deal of this is due to skin irritasion which gene ally ac companies teething. Keeping baby's skin lo n per- fect condition will do a great deal toward helping him through this trying period. As soon as the slightest rash appears it should be treated with Zam-Buk. Nothing is so suitable for baby's tender skin. The absolute purity of this herbal balms never fails to commend it to mothers of discriminating tastes. Mrs. C. B. Ritcey of Riverport, N.S. says: "My baby had sores on her face caused by teething, and although I tried numerous salves nothing would hesl them. On a friend's recommenda 1 commenced using Zam-Buk. After the first two applications the sores began to heal and with con. tinued treatment they entirely disappeared." Zam-Buk should also be used for eczema, ringworm, boils, scalp sores, Flood-noianing, cuts, bruises, burns and scalds, All dealers or Zem-Buk Co.

MAY 14. i WORST IS JET TO COME For the Union Government is (he Opinion Given by Gadsby, FEELING EACH OTHER OUT IS ALL THAT HAS BEEN DONE BY ELEMENTS, A Cordial Feeling Has Grown Up Be- tween the Quebec Members and the Western Radicals. Ottawa, May 14.--The net result of this war-crisis session has been to indicate symptoms rather tham to aggravate complaints. The various elentents ¢f opinion have done no- thing more than feel each .other out, For Unlen Government the worst is yet to come. Parliament has - not sized itsell up yet. Even that cock-sure phil- osopher; the Ottawa correspondent, hesn't made up his mind about it. All he knows is that Parliament has put through more big and little measures and dome less talking im eight weeks tham it ever did before. Everything has been doneg from wothng half « billion dollars to carry on the war, down to settling liow many eggs there are in a pound, and vet Parfiament -bas not been positive except one one point---that the war must be won. Any other opinions ft has--and they are many --atre in abeyance. It has been so little anxious to digclose' its real Sentiments on the great domestic issues that it choss, for exatnple, to spend a 'whole afternoon on thé guestion of grad- ing hay? 'We may assume that the whole hay question has been solved from the baled stuff they use as rhetoric in the Hapse of Commons right" ap to the ten milton dollars worth of hay they propose to feed horse, ihe ---------- At all events Parliament preferred to discuss 'hay rafher than the tariff, there being a gentleman's -agree- ment not to, gouge each other's eyes out on this vexed subject until the Hun has been. dealt with. What Union Government must he propared to mget after this war is off 'our minds, is a Parliament with half 4 dozen or more big cleav- ages of opinion. Owe doubts whether Rodolphe Lemieux's statement that this a country of Sompramise wilt hold "good, for: these cleay opinion were never so great oe for the opportunity for pressing them so favorable. Out of the ferment of this war some of thé new ideas-- or rather old ideas long suppressed--~ are bound to come to the top. Stand- pat has perhaps one more session to live----perhaps not that long. In Me- Master of Brome I see the old Coven- agting spirit. In Dr. Michael Clark 1 see free trade, gentle for the mo- ment, but gathering strength for new leaps and bounds. In Richardson of Springfield I seo the west militant for public ownership, and I also see an old friend who was Interested in public questions twenty years ago, but whe is very much in earnest about them now. And that change in "Bob" Richardson reflects, I think ing of the years and the pressure of events. Earnestness is one of the troubles J'nion Government will pres- ontly have to face, but if Union Gov+ ernment #8 in earnest as it looks now. What I am trying to convey is that politics is less of a game for the ex- perts and more a matter of supreme importance to the people than ever it was, Like Martha, we are going to he careful in many things. Among other things that certain people in the east will be tn earnest about is the tariff. Gazing at them with the naked oye. I find Cockshutt of Brantford, and those of his tribe] of just as resolute for the high wall and no breaches as ever. Colonel John Currie has also made a few remarks about the tariff, as for mple that it should be high enough Reva offset the levelling tendencies of direct taxa- tion, but I doubt if Colonel John is as keon about the tariff as he is about giving the good old Tory-Orange party a leg up. Indeed that is an- other phase of earnestness Union Government will be called upon to meet--the earnestness of those who the change in all of us with the pass-!

Sir Robert Perks pronounced the scheme feasible front the engineers' point of view, but the most impaort- ant point is, will it pay?

The experienee of the United States with its inland waterways and canals is of interest at the present time. Recently the Merchants' Association of New York tried to get legislation passed at Washington which pro- vide for a survey of abandoned wa- terways in order to ascertain whether they might be repaired so as to re: Heve the railroads of part of the burden of hauling heavy freight. Representative John [1.

Most of these slackers are from the province of Quebec, a few are said to have come from the Maritime Pro- vinees of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. It is known that military officers have done some investigating, but it is practically impossible to Tind and identify a man who buries himself in a wilderness that stretehes a hon- dred miles east and two 'hundred niles north and seuth. The fact that one of the big lum- bering concerns has fot been obliged to come to Baugor for its log rivers this spring indicates that a new source of labor supply has suddenly tbeen developed up north.
