* \ . . DYSPEPSIA IS GREATEST "ENEMY OF MODERN MAN Distressing Malady Is Most Prevalent of All Present- Day Diseases--Thousands Are Relieved by Tanlac. EE ---- a Of all the conditions humanity, chronic dyspepsia, or what ie more commonly known as indiges- tion, is probably the most prevalent This most universal 'malady has baffled the medical profession for years, and the most skilled specialists have been unable to cope with it suc- cessfully. Hours might be consumed -in de- scribing the sufferings. mental and physical, of the sufferers from chro- | nic dyspepsia and their failure here- tofore to get relief. A morbid, unreal, whimsical and melancholy condition Of the mind, aside from the nervous- ness and physical suffering, is the us- ual condition of the average dyspep- tie, Dyspspsia, or indigestion, af the case may be, is usually caused by the eating of too much or unsuitable food, and the mucous membrance of the stomach becomes irritated, and there is set up an acute or sub-acute gastric catarrhal condition which pre- vents the proper digestion of the food. This food is apt to ferment and decompose, and as a result the famil- lar distressing symptoms of dyspsp- sla may arise. In mild cases there is Lothing more than an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach, with a cer- tain amount of depression, headache, loss of appetite, perhaps belching of &as and occasional vomiting. There may be also accompanying-intestinal symptoms, such as constipation, pains in the back, colic, etc. There may be only the familiar heartburn due to the inflammation of the stomach from excessive gases of fermentation or putrefaction. In the most severe cases--those that last over a day or two--the symptoms enumerated 'may be much more intense. The distress may be marked and the general con- stitutional symptoms more evident. When this stage is reached the ioe of appetite, the mental depression. Pr pn, A A Ai etree JOHN LEWIS Who returns to the editorial staf of Toronto Globe after eighteen years' ab- Sence.

Vancouver, April 18. -- Freight rates on lumber and shingles ship- "ped from British Columbia to east- ern Canada will be reduced com- , mencing April 21, according to word received here by railway officials. The reduction will 'be on all railway lines, aud is the result of a decision on the part of the Canadian Rail- way Association to assist Canadian lumbsrmen to compete against lumhermen of the Southern states. The new rates, it is stated, will mean a reduction of about $4.30 a thou- sand feet on lumber shipped to Toronto from Vancouver.

Sydenham, April 15.-- Three speakers from Kingston were pres- ent at a prohibition rally on Thurs- day evening in Wesley Hall. The meeting was well attended and all the speakers were given an attentive hearing. Addresses were delivered by Prot W. T. MacClement, Queen's University; Rev, E. H. Burgess, of Zion Presbyterian church, and Judge H, A. Lavell, Speaking first, Prof. MacClement based his argument for prohibition on the selfishness of individuals who made it possible for the liquor trade to exist. He said that preservation of-self was an important law*in the lower animal kingdom, but. that when it came to man, he should be willing to sacrifice some of his own interests for the welfare of others. It could not he left to nature to rem- edy the evil, iut only by action of the people could it be eradicated. Rev. E. H Burgess, the next speaker, opened his discussion with the financial situation as affected by the liquor traffic. He stated that on the employer and workingman, rich and poor, fts result was disastrous. All the time lost by workers when under the influence of liquor affect- ed production, and this in its turn hurt home markets, and finally trade opportunities were reduced. . He asked: YHave we not a right to legis late against the liquor traffic when it is ruining the business of the country?" The speaker claimed that the majority of all poverty, vice, and crime was directly or indirectly at- tributable to liguor. Speaking of the personal liberty argument, he treated it rather humorously, which did not fail to have its effect. He de- clared that the alleged results of prohibition, bootlegging, the danger of drugs, and the like, were not to be feared, for they would in the end die out. Then he referred to the ris- ing generation, and said that it it Was done for no other reason, liquor should be stamped out for the sake of the youth. His whole speech was a scathing denuncjation of the "wets" and their arguments, As the final speaker of the even- ing, Judge H. A. Lavell was intro- duced, and the first part of his talk dealt with statements made by the Liberty League. He said that what was back of all that was said by those belonging to that organization was that they wanted the "wet" Boods. Following this, he quoted sta- tistics to Prove that crime had de- creased since prohibition had come into force, but that when importa- tion was legal it had slightly in- reased again. He appealed to the voters to turn out and exercise their power on Monday, emphasizing the responsibility that would be placed on each of them. Besides the speakers of the even- ing there were present on the plat- form the local ministers, Rev. @. Stafford and Rev, T. Leech. Vocal 80los were ably rendered by Mrs. W. 8. Gordon and Rev. G, Stafford. On motion of Rev. T. Leech, seconded by H. J. Knight, an expression of the appreciation of the audience for the spjendid addresses given was tend- ered the Speakers, On Wednesday eventiig the regular Ladies' Aid tea was held in Wesley Hell.
