The Toronto gas expert's specifica- tlons for a concrete tank were too descriptive. A newspaper editor could have drawn up a better docu- ment and hit the nail on the head. Now that the Sydenham street Methodists have burned their mort- gage we may hope some day to see the pinnacles on the church tower re- paired. A couple of these pinnacles look as if those Deseronto airmen had taken shots at them, Why do the Irish get so touchy when some of their "types" are cari- catured?

The people will vote on the question when the time comes with- out the Alliance's assistance in mark- ing the ballots. The old bar is not coming back nor is the general sale of liquor, despite the fears of the orators from Toronto. The people who should vote to de- cide the kind of memorial to be erect- ed in Kingston to our soldiers who fell, are those who will contribute money for the building. Let one vote be allowed for every five dollars sub- seribed. , A Wolfe Islander has had a dis- pute with the Lampman, the former holding that the Ontario Temperance Act did not include the island in its strictures. Prohibition is not in ef- fect on the island, he declares, for there is enough liquor over there for a Saturday night bath for half the inhabitants.

Ottawa, March 28. ---Here are a few gleanings from the speeches on daylight saving in the Commons: Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux--Daylight saving will save thousands of tons of coal. John Best (Dufferin)---Down with daylight saving. The farmers don't want it. It will cause unrest and anarchy and set race against race J. E. Sexsmith (Peterboro)--The hockey players and baseball fans are the only ones who are agitating for it, It will create Bolshevism. W. D. Cowan (Regina)--A large element don't want it; therefore I'm not going to ram it down their throats. Capt. Read (Prince Edward Is- land )--1 voted for it last year. It was the only vote my constituents rebuked me for. I've changed my mind. R. C. Henders (President Manitoba Grain Growers)--I have 300 resolu- tions passed by organized farmers. They are all opposed to it. Duncan Ross (West Middlesex)-- Both the farmers and Labor men in my riding are against it. Sir Thomas White--City members tell us it will be inconvenient if we do not pass. daylight saving. The farmers say it would create hard- ship. I shall vete with the farmers. David Marshall (East Elgin)-- "Can" it. W. G. McQuarrie (New Westmin- ster)--The farmers are against all kinds of inndvatipns. They resisted the locomotive on the ground that it would ruin their cabbage patches. J. A. Campbell (Nelson, Man.)-- My sub-Arctic constituents have more daylight now than they can use. It's immaterial to us. . Hon. Martin Burrell--I'm a farmer and a golfer, too, and I'm for day- light saving. Sir Sam Hughes--For heaven's sake lea#§ the people alone; they don't want it. Golf is a very pleas- ant exercise for delicate women. F. F. Pardee--The farmers do not desire it. Agriculture is the basic industry. Let us accede to their de- mands.

A COMPLETE WRECK, Mrs. C. Forsythe, R.R. No. 2, Fish- erville, Ont., says: "At the age of fourteen my daughter Viela was feels ing very much run down in the spring. Then she was attacked with whooping cough which left her a com- plete wreck. . She had no appetite, could not sleep well nights and was subject to chills which sometimes kept her in bed for the day. She was doctoring steadily, but not apparently getting the least benefit, and 1 na- turally grew very anxious. 'One of my neighbors suggested giving her Dr. Willfams®' Pink Pills, and I got a box. When she began using the pills she weighed obly 87 pounds. Before the box was all gone I sent and got six more boxes, and under their use she constantly grew stromger, Her ap- petite improved, the color came back to her cheeks, she could sleep well, and feels and looks like a different person, and with all this while using the pills she gai weight." 0 pounds in body lacks. that vital force and can give.

I gained both in strength and weight, and feel since I used the pills like a new person. 1 also recommended the use of the pills to my daughter-in-law, who was pale, thin and weak. When she be- gan the pills she weighed only 103 pounds and wien sje discontinu- ed their use she weighed 137 pounds.

At least oue cyclone seemed to have swept down its valley, and the river itself | had washed away several corners so | that our trail had to be made, or found anew on many a mile. Once while Ed.
