To give the banks a {breathing spell Mr. Lloyd George exâ€" ltcnded the bank holiday. “When you fmet him. you .werestruck with his lscltf-efiacem'entv He sought no glory {for himself... He wanted no renogniâ€" {tion for himself. .One of the early {evidences of the measure, which ,he gtools‘ of thesituation was shown by, fthe gentlemen he wanted about him. He went across the floor of the House of Commons and said to Mini S'Austen Chamberlain: This is a man's fwork I have to do. I wapt you to {help me." Mr. Chamberlain respond- Sed, as did Sir John Paish, editor of Mine Statist, Who gave up his editor- :ial chair for the time being to as-l !sist the Chancellouin the Treasury EDepartment‘” ( Applause.) Mr. Fiavelle then recited the suc- cession of even'ts that threatened each time t5 disrupt the entire finan- cial fabric, and how in each case Mr. Lloyd George was equal to the em- ergency. This commenced with the Ia moratorium, and ‘supported his icontention by showing the diflerence jin conditions existing between tne EDorminion and the mdther country. J. W. EEAVEEEE SAYS EANADA’S llllEY l8 El] PRESERVE BREE" In plain, outsboken, unequivocal terms Mr. v ' J. W. Flavelle told: the Canadian Club at .luncheon.‘ yesterday that Canada's duty in respect of fi- nancial matters at tliis time was to see that her credit ‘was unimpared; Ho‘ denounced in vigorous language the agitation in certain quarters for Mr. Flavelle then t on to picâ€" ture the state of a/rs in London at the end of the first week of the crisis. There Maia a long queue of people stretching from the Royal Ex- change Waiting to draw out gold. All that day the leading bankers had been in centerence,a and on Sunday morning the Cabinet met at the home of the Prime/Minister. Tens of thousands of people were waiting to know what was to be done, and he knew there were numbers who did not often go to prayer who raised their voices to the Almighty that day that wisdom and understanding should be given to the Government in"'reaching its decision. I A Man of the Hour. “There is only one interest in this matter,” he declared, “the interest of the credit ‘of Canada and the ‘peo- ple of Canada. Our duty officially is to conduct ourselves so that our credit is preserved. Our duty private- ly is to play the game with good courage and bear the other fellow's burden rather than ask him to’Vbear ours. There has been far too much I fear (God forbid that I shouldrbe Prefaciug his remarks with an _il~ lustration of how unprepared Great Britain was to meet the financial crisis imposed by the war, Mr. Fla- velle said at the moment that a bank President was advising his shareholders that for “the coming year banking would proceed under normal conditions Austria was deâ€" livering her fateful ultimatum to Servia. In ten days banks and Stock Exchanges the world over had clos- ed, and remittances of every sort had stopped, which meant that every country had to depend upon its own resources. Proceeding, Mr. Flavelle gave an illuminating sketch of the position occupied by London as the clearing house of.thc world, and~how when the war broke out London banking houses had endorsed German bills of exchange to the extent of £70 000 which Would have to he met in ease of default. by the German people. (The Globe.) “Look at a. body of men, claiming "”1"" ”a“ 0”” ”W” to be legislators, saying. on the one no legitimate industry hand, we refuse to pay our debts, "“5th for lad; or as adorn the other hand, we want to 3°“- borrow $2,000,000."

By a coincidence‘ a report of a Select Committee of the House on this subyect was ready, and it meommended a watemof State insurance. The gist of this committee’s recommendations was immediately drafted into a bill, pass ed in both Houses and within twen- :ty-four hours one could insure eith- ier ship or cargo against the King’s enemies. A Stroke of Genius. Mt. Flavelle commented on the wisdom of the [Finance Minister in Canada, making bank notes legal ten- der, and the extension of credit by permitting banks to deposit securi- ties with the Department and receive Dominion notes. “But we want no moratorium in this country. We want no discussion of moratorium in the chamber, much less in the newsâ€" papers. We want no special sessions of Legislatures." There were men in the country who thought they could become wealthy without effort. and all they had to do was to buy up land and sit back and wait for some body to .giVe. them 5, 10 or 20 per cent. on, their price. . “That was a stroke of genius," commented Mr. Flavelle, and be proâ€" ceeded to show how tne request of the banks for a general moratorium and suspension of the bank act, to permit the issuance of £5 ”notes by the Bank of England without the gold behind them had .worked out. Passing on to the situation in Caâ€" nada, Mr. Flavelle said the conditâ€" ions in the two countries were so different . that to apply the same remedies here was like using the same treatment for two diseases of the most dissimilar character. He went on to show that the various expedients adopted in Britain were purely of a domestic nature. England :nvested her own funds in. England, bought her own securities, mvncd her own railroads, and then had suffi- cient to send to all quarters of the world. Canada, on the other hand, borrowed from wherever she could get money, and the supreme duty of every official body in Canada was to oreserve the credit of the country. “England has no credit to preserve,’ said Mr. Flavelle, in paradox “ev- ery country in the world owes her. Canada Wants no Moratorium. The Government granted the mora- torium with certain exceptions, and agreed to issue £1 and 105. notes. “Probabfy the Chancellor was at his best in presenting this bill to the House," said Mr. Flavelle. Most of the people waiting in front of the Bank of Englandfor'gold were for- eigners, to which the Chancellor al- luded in his speech, and; then turning to the House, said: “Gentlemen, there are resources in this country sufficient for every difficulty which may be presented arising out of these unhappy conditions. There is a sufficient quantity of gold as the has- is for credit if we wisely use and conserve it. I refuse to believe there is any necessity for suspending speâ€" cie payments, but, gentlemen, any man who wants a sovereign for his use, , let him have it and let him keep it, but not a half-sovereign to any man to hoard. Don't play the foreigner’s game." (Hear, hear.) This brought an immediate restora- tion of confidence. Bankers Like School Boys. I Mr. Flavelle concluded by saying that he had not been speaking as a bank director or President of a trust company. The bankers tfiemselvee lhad not always been wise, and to those who were crying for an exten- sion of credit he thought the credit lines had often‘been too slack, and no legitimate industry had ever been crushed for lack of aSSistance.

The other way and the right Eway is the Dr. Williams’ manner of itreatmeribâ€"that: is to nourish and {build up the stomach by supplying 'plenty of new, rich red blood. Give the stomach this much needed supply of new blood and distress wifl'disap- pear and stay banished forever. The {new blood strengthens the nerves of {the stomach and gives it the neces- 3sary power to digest food. Thous- ‘ands bear witness to the value of the Dr. Williams treatment through the blood. Among them is the Rev. 3?. D. Nowlan, of Summerville, N. Cured By The Use 0f Dr. William Punk Pills for Pale People as was suggested in Ontario, by an application to the courts, and such relief was no doubt desirable. Mr. Flavelle will visit Omemee to‘ morrow evening, where he will giVe a lecture on the same subject in the Methodist Church. ‘ Last night Mr. J. D. Fluvelle told the story of his recent trip around the world to a large audience in the Presbyterian Church at Rosedaie in aid of the'Red Cross Fund. The talk was greatly enjoyed and Mr. Flavelle was the recipient of a hearty vote of thanks at the close. Mr. C. E. Weeks contributed to the musical portion of the programme, and his Singing was greatly appreciated.

I became constipated and was forced; to use injections daily. This went on for aboutttwo years; ,I grew weaker and weaker; my weight'iell ofi from~185~ to‘125 pounds: I had a backing cough and appeared to be going into a decline. All this time I was being treated by the best of doctors but without the least bene~ fit._ Night after night I coum get no sleep the pain and agony was so se? vere. On consultation the doctors de- cided I was sufiering from cancer of the stomach and advised an opera- tion as a means of saving my life. This I refused to undergo and began to look forward to an early death. Just then a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
