Just how much of a tariff the Can- adian manufacturer needs, depends, ag we have said, upon many facts and circumstances, The manufacturer of agricultural implements may have re- quired a 35 per cent. tariff thirty years ago, and today a 15 per cent. tariff may be sufficient, Mr. Meighen believes in the protective principle, but the principle will be 'applied by the government and not by the manu- facturers. It will be fair to them, but not oppressive to the people. | -------------- McPherson-Lunman Wedding. Quietly, at the Northern Commu- nity church, Rosedale, Toronto, on Monday, Jan. 10th, the marriage was solemnized Albert Lunman, Kingston, Ont., to Dr. Ewart Earl McPherson, late of C.A.M.C., only son of Mr. and Mrs. Alex.

The duty of the liver is to prepare and secrete bile and serve as a filter to the blood, cleansing it of all im- purities and poisons. When the liver becomes laxy, slow or torpid it 1s not working properly, and does not supply sufficient bile to thoroughly act on the bowels and carry off the waste products of the system, hence the bowels become clogged up, the bile gets into the blood, constipation sets in and liver troubles follow. Milburn's) Laxa-Liver Pills quickly remove th retions, clear away the waste and /effete matter by acting di- rectly on/the liver, and making the bile pass/through the bowels instead of allowing it to get into the blood, and cause so many troubles. Mrs. Alice Mekill, Ivapanee, Ont., writes: --""1 was very badly run down, and had a torpid liver for four months. I tried several remedies, out got no relief. One day my hus- band brought me home a vial of Mil- , burn's Laxa-Liver Pills, and before I had used half of it I was much bet- ter. I only used two vials, and I am a different person to-day.
