The essential thing to do in all cases where the liver is slow, lazy or torpid, is to stir it up by the use of a medicine that will clear away all the waste and poisonous matter from the system, and prevent as well as cure all the trouble arising from this accumulated mass which has col- lected in the system. Keep the bowels open by using Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills and You will have no liver trouble of any kind. They will clear away all the waste and effette matter which has collected and make the liver active rand working properly. heel Mr. John R. Morrison, Gran River Falls, N.8., writes: --*Seve months ago I was troubled with a sour stomach, and had specks float- ing before my eyes, I took five vials of Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills which cured and cleaned my blood before any length of time. I told my friends about it and they got some, and they; too, find themselves different since they took them. I recommend ypur pills very highly." Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills are 25¢ a vial at all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. AN EQUAL NATIO:.. . WITHIN THE EMPIRE Premier Borden Explains Can- ada's Status as a Peace Treaty Signatory. London, May 19.--"Canada's sta- tus as a signatory to the peace treaty is that of an equal nation, but within the British Empire, said Sh Robert Borden. , Premier Borden re<] turned from Paris on Wednésday and sailed for Canada yesterday. He has had audiences with the King and Prince of Wales and interviews with Canadian representatives in London. Discussing the Dominfon's -posi- tion at Paris the Premier made it clear that Canada had stood firm on the status of a self-governing na- tion, which it has proved itself te be during the war, and what status has been acknowledged during the framing of peace and the establish- ment of the League of Nations. He regarded the Empire itself as a Leagle of 'Nations. As régards the German indemnity, Canada would share in proportion te its expendi tures. on pensions and such othe: heads as came under the treaty pro- visions... The. Dominion's shipping losses would also be replaced pro- portionately. The Halifax explosion and the burning of the Parliament buildings had not been considered as separate war losses, as if they went into such matters even muni- tions explosions in America would necessarily have to be considered. Some of the delegates, for instance, had wished tor be indemnified for thie increased cost of living. Rev.-R. J. M. Perkins, of St James' ¢hurch, Ingersoll, announced 'his resignation to accept the appoint- ment of rector of Christ's Church, Chatham. 1I'O=- as | | | | UNSTINTED PRAISE FOR CANADA'S PREMIER Difficult. to Debt of Gratitude, aaciares Daily . Loncon, May 19:-The Daily Mail wan editorial says Sir Robert Bor- den will take with him the gratitude of the British people for the splendid service he has rendered at the Peace Conference, "We owe him so much that we shall find it dificult to dis- charge our debt, and we cannot at the same 't'me forget the great Do- minion for sparing him to us. Can- ada can look with mnexampled pride on the part she played both in the war and peace, under his wise lead- ership." The Times says it is not suf- ciently realized at what personal costs Sir Robert Borden'and the other Dominion Ministers came here on the business of the Empire. _ "Everywhere the military side of minion participation in the war is recognized with pride; but how shall we account for the fact that the po- litical corollary to military participa- tion is still hidden from most of us. adaptation of the Imperial cabinet system of peace conditions, but we wholly agree with Sir Robert Bor- den's blunt declaration that the only possible basis of British relations with the Dominions is equality of-na- tionhood within the Empire." a SS ELSA RYAN In "Tea For Thre at the Grand Opera House on evening, May 20th, heh ¥ ; --------_-- niin Increased Telephone Rates.
