That is a. matter that has excited interest all over the country for a number of yea1'8,.-a.nd I am pleased to see the’ hon.m1n1ster place the very desirable provxsion regarding these corps. which he has done in the proposed new law. The provision enabling~ the general officer commanding in Canada. to be chosen from the Can- adian militia, while it may appeal to the pride of our people, I must say I do not regard as agent maâ€" iorlty of the Canadian public do. Weak as 801110 of the general officers may have been, unfit as some of them undoubtedly were, ncvert heless I feel that, taking them all in all, they have done possibly much more good than would have been done if we had of selected our commanding officers from the ramks of our mili- tia. ‘There is nothing- to prevent an officer of the Canadian militia. qualifying, himself for the position by becoming an officer in the imperâ€" . ial army ; and I am satisfied that if, instance.

Furl their ‘ being turned out to do i in the municipalities very and against their police guard and to put down riots, which often are incitcd by aldcrmon others seeking to gain votes. Young,r men, clerks in offices and StoroS, are compelled to lcave their muploymcnt and do police work along. the streets and warehouses of our towns, and have to endure the insults of every ruffian and bluckguard who chooses to abuse them. While the l‘lll'lld- ment of Canada has‘ authority 1o m- act that certain magistrates should have the right to call out the Lezi‘iâ€" tia, I very much qpcstion whethcr this parliament has the authoiity to that Montreal or Toronto for those soldiers whcn scc provide shall pay they are called out.

We dare not act as constables, nor dare we take any efficient action as soldiers, un- less~the disturbance takes the form of an absolute riot. I trust that the Minister of Militia will be good enough to allow us a few days for the consideration of this Bill before it is brought up for a second read- ing; and, I would lilac the hon. minâ€" ister during that time to give serious consideration to the aspect of the case I have‘jest referred to. And I hope he will remove entirely the clause which allows the militia force to be called out in suppost of the civil power unless the riot takes the form of an insurrection. Why should the militiamen be called upon to do police duty, standing around docks. and warehouse doors, to be spat upâ€" on, as we have seen them spat upâ€" on again and again '5 They have to stand there absolutely passive. Spe- cial constables would have the right to arrest those who assaulted them. But. as militia men we dare not ar- rest a rioter unk-ss prdered to do so; I would like the. minister to take this point into his serious consideraâ€" tion.and, if he is going to insist on the, law remaining as it is, I would like to have another point fairly The electors of the proscnt contribute to tho permanent force as well as do those of the cities and towns.

However, we shall have an opportunity to take this matter up. I congratualte the min- ister on many of the provisions of this Bill.

TO A MILLION OF WATER . . That is the Mixture People Swallow who use Town water To-Day-Jl'he Expert's Report Rcccnt numerous complaints about the quality of l-hf‘ toWn Watcr have bcen justified by lhl' l‘UpOl‘l of the provincial analyst, PcOpIc using the water lunv for some time found a bum odor from it, especially when it Was heated. when it also presented a brownish appear- ance and developed a nastyâ€"looking scum. . These complaints have resulted in the Medical Health Officer, Dr. Mcâ€" pine, having Inspector Douglas send samples of the water to Mr. John A. Amyot, provincial analyst, Torâ€" Two samples were sent, one from an hotcl _tap, and the other, from a tap at tho Collegiate Insti- tute. The reports and accompany- ing letter to Dr. Mc.\lpine are as follows : SAMPLE NO. 1: Slightly brown in color, has a pungent vegetable odor when cold. which is intensified when hot, has no colon bacilli, but has some streptococci, shows one part in a million of chlorine. ‘ . . Remarks: “This water shows in- fcction by streptococci a form of bacteria not living for any length of time away from animals. It shows recent pollution of the water from animal source. Otherwise the watâ€" cr is all right." SAMPLE NO. 2 (Taken from the Collegiate Institute, tap); : Has slightly brownish . _ ‘1 vegetable odor, which 16 intensified by heating, has colon bacilli, . shows chlorine of one part in 11 mil- ion. It has no other bacilli. . Remarks ,: “This water shows m- fection with colon bacilli an intesti- ml orlpnism which, under conditions night cause trouble ; othei'wise It 18 all right." THE LETTER :- ”Both thwe watâ€" I don't know if it m are infected. . 'dlt be just an accident or not. 'ither infection would be W118 through your we the provincial lag 'and it it were onto. . intellectual" tum +â€" 41. the smell of the Scugog product must conclude that they haven't got the scientific nostril. 'l‘hc Scugog's odor is not a stink; it is simply a, "pungent vegetable. odox"'â€"liku an onion for instance, and not as bad as grated horseâ€"radish. If is wonâ€" dcrful how science dispells our [also notions. ... But as we read on, those notions vcnture back again, for the profesâ€" sor announces that there. arc sundry wild fowl in the Water, and a qum‘t of smvagc in every million quarts of it.
