YEAR 83, NO. KINGSTON, ONTARIO, | Some Ottawa Glimpses ~ Special Correspondence by H. F. Gadsby. Pw { J. Ottawa, Nov. 25.--The Duke ot | others do penance for his lack of Devonshire will certainly te interest- | firmness ed in Canada. His first official duty on reaching Ottawa was to read a bunch of letters between Premier Borden and his thorn in the Sir Sam, which are as full of sur prises as a pumpkin is of seeds. "My word!" one imagines His Excellency saying, "Things do happen here." Perhaps th Governor-General does not appreeiate the surprises in- erent In this correspondence to the same extent as we do who have been watching the eat jump for the last two years, For example, Premier Borden's ultimate indignation hinges on the smallest kind of grievance the tone of Sir Sam's letter, He stands for paper shoes, Ross rifles, spavined chargers, the Bertram Shell Committee, Colonel John Wesley Allison, the fuse contracts, Camp Borden, and a hundred other crimes against the Dominion of Canada, and then fire Sir Sam for what? For his offences against the state? No. For an affront to Premier Borden's personal dignity---he doesn't like the tone of Sir Sam's last letter True, Premier Borden mentions the fact that 8ir Sam has been acting off his own bat, not consulting his colleagues, disobeying orders, in fact, Hut all these misdemeanors pale beside the frank language Skr Sam uses in writing to the head of the government, Sir Sam may behave like a load of hay for two years--that is to say, take up the whole road-- but he musn't be sglicy he Prem- fer. That is the unforgivable sin. Just for that you'll all get off. Incidentally Premier Borden is the neatest little stable locker after the horse is stolen now extant on the half of the North nent, Sir Sam's resignation after most of the harm has been done is Premier Borden's latest feat in this direction, But before that we had the excommunication of W. F. Gar- land, M.P., and A. DeWitt Foster, M.P.,---both gentlemen having pre- viously got away with the goods. This lg, perhapsy the briskest thing Premier Borden flesh | The Thorn in Premier's Flesh. | | northern | American conti-| does--making | tem ' J Another surprise in Sir Sam's cor- respondence---a surprise which is in the nature of a rumor confirmed-- is the intimation that Premier Bor- den was nosing around for a way out, either as High Commissioner in Lon- don or as Chief Justice of. Canada, via Sir Charles Fitzpatrick to be su- perannuated. Of course, Premier Borden denies that he contemplated quitting in the face of the enemy, but the fact that Sir Sam noticed a wistful look in the Premier's eye is worth remembering, Another surprise to His Excellency but not much of a surprise to us who have been keeping tabs on Ottawa, is the fact to which Sir Sam draws attention in his own artless way-- namely, that the Cabinet fairly! bristles with leaders. What the cabi- net suffers from is not lack of lead- ers, but an embarrassment of riches in this respect. Premier Borden is | morganatic wife, Michaelovitch. The marriage of Commander H. 8. H. Prince Battenberg, R. N., was recently solemnized. second cousin of the Czar of Russia and daughter, Countegs Torby, of Grand Duke only one leader among many--and a rather listless one at that--not even primus inter pares. Sir Sam men- tions at least two more--the Hon- ourable * Bob, of course, and Sir Thomas White. Sir Thomas seems to be moving rapidly Sir Sam also mentions Sir George Foster, the Trade Wind, as being far too gay for a subordinate, The glimpse Sir Sam's letter gives into the seething vortex of personal rivalries whieh goes by the name of the Borden | Cabinet, like a peep into Vesu-| vius. They seem to be united on | only one thing--to give their friends, | the profiteers, every change to bleed! the people to their last dollar. Another surprise is the emergence of Sir George Perley.

With pardonable cheerfulness Sir Sam points out that Sir George Per- ley has been responsible fer most of military management in England for the last twelve months, which is equivalent to say- ing that Sir George is responsible for a pretty bad mess. Still, who would have thonght it of Sir George Perley? That quiet oyster of a man Overseas Minister of Militia and against Sir Sam's say-so. It was like being kicked to death by a beetle. ' Another surprise is Sir Sam's fatal fondness for Sir Max Aitken. Can- ada bad ne. idea that this affair of the heart had gone so far.

Canada also knew Sir Max as a vicarious .wrinter of books of common praise for Lieutenant- General Sir Sam Hughes, his friend and patron and companion on roller skates. Canada also knew Sir Max as an expatriated Canadian, somewhat cloudy in his beginnings, who won fame and riches-as the midwife of the cement merger and other pro- geny of the same kind, who became the partner of R. B. Bennett, M.P,, in an elevator combine whose object was to give the Northwest farmer an- other squeeze, and who subsequent- ly took his money over to England, where he bought a Unionist nomina- tion for Parliament and in due time a baronetey. The career of Sir Max in England is such as to-cause the average Canadian to say, "If he can get along, then anybody can." Sir Max is not what you would call the © - the Board of Education should have the eightheommandment framed and hung in each school, Major Stroud may not be attend- ing the town council meetings, but he is doing even better work.

One way to reduce the cost of liv- ing is to eat less, an old lady tells the Lampman, but the trouble is that the people who have the greatest cause for reducing the cost of living are those who hardly get enough to eat. THE TOWN WATCHMAN. HARD WORKING WOMEN Will Find New Strength Through the Use of + Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It is useless to tell a hard working woman to take life easily and not to worry. Every woman at the head of a home; every girl in offices, shops and factories is subjected to more or less worry. These cannot be avoid- ed. But it is the duty of every wo- man and every girl to save her strength as much as possible, and to build up her system to meet unusual demands. Her future health de- pends upom it. To guard against a breakdown in health the blood must be kept rich, red and pure. To keep the blood in this condition nothing can equal Dr. Williams Pink Pills.

Mrs. | N. E. Tompsett, Ottawa, Ont., writes: -- "For several years I suffer- ed terribly from nervous debility and was scarcely able to do a thing. During that time I consulted several doctors, and many" medicines with- out getting any help, and kL began to think that I would never get better.

It is Nature's danger signal to warn vou that there is something wrong in the system. While headache may result from a variety of causes, it most frequently de- notes a starved condition of the nerves The brain is the headquarters or "central" of the nervous system. Here nerve force is consumed at an enormous rate. If there is any lack of rich, red blood from which to form new nervous energy the brain is first to feel it and the head aches. Headaches may be stopped by powerful drugs, but that is like breaking the semaphore which warns the engineer of danger. The only wise way is to increase the amount of rich, red blood in the human body by using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and thereby feed the starved nerves back td health and vigor. Not only will the headaches disappear, but you will sleep well, feel well and gradually re- gain strength and confidence. The Nerve Food will sharpen the appetite, improve digestion and build up the whole system. : In this way the headache will prove a bless- ing.

Not to put too fine a point on it, Sir Max is a bit of a bounder, and in England is widely known as such. It is difficult to see what dignity Can- ada would have conferred on her by making this swanker Ovérseas Minis- ter of Militia. However, Sir Sam believed in him as he believed in Allison, under some- what similar circumstances, and was actually grooming him for the job. Naturally Sir Max would have taken it, not so much for what there was in it as a job, but for the cachet it gave him as a responsible Canadian statesman. It would have almost made Sir Max respectable, which would have been a good thing for any pew companies he might be forming. Sir Max is andther con- spicuous example of Sir m's pen- chant for picking the wrong kind of friends. ---H. F.

Napanee, Nov, 24.--In the death of Sergt. A. E. Wartman, B.A., Can- ada has lost one of her most promis- ing young men. ' He was born at Wesley, near Newburgh, where his father, George E. Wartman, still re- sides.

Sc. degree, with a view to being a civil engineer, In 1912 he secured his B.A. de- gree, but a severe attack of heart trouble unfitted him for the stremnu- ous life of a civil engineer, and led him to decide on a course in /Medi- cine. At the outbreak of war he offered his services to his country, Falling to pass the medical examination at Regina, he again offered himself at Toronto, where he was accepted. In place of coming home the fall of 1914 to enter upon his third year of medical work, he came to tell his parents and brothers that he had en- listed and was accepted for overseas service, as a member of the 5th Field Ambulance Corps. April, 1915, he crossed to England He was soon in active. service in France, yhere his thoughts were of others. His work on the two ter- rible days of September 15th and 16th, secured for him the recommen- dation of a Distinguished Conduct medal. On September 17th, while maaful- ly and cheerfully doing his duty, of rescuing others who had fallen in the fierce of the fight, he himself re- ceived his death wound, from a piece of shrapnel entering his it side and penetrating his lung. ing weakened from the wound, whic was most serious in itself, he ap- parently seemed to hold his own for a few weeks, until pneumonia set in and he died October 16th.
