There is a strong feeling a- mong Liberals all over the province that the Drury government should be ‘eerned for principles first, and when e differences between the U. F.

ICE AND THE POWER (London Advertiser) “<» Engineer Gaby says that the reéns- "en for the shortage of light and pow- er supplied by the Hydro-Electric is due-to the accumulation of needle-ice in the machinery of the company’s lant. -edy this condition. that when low temperatures, combining with other werther conditions, prevent the manu- facture of power, those who utilize 9t in mills and factories must sit back “and wait until unkind fate fs through with its pranks. Commenting on this statement, the Hamilton Times pertinently inquires if this is to go on forever. What, is the Times, will be done when the needle-ice ties up the machinery in eoming winters, and puts the hydro * radical lines out of business all over the province? The point is a serious one. We are putting millions into ~ the development of hydro in different _ forms. Is it to become a common ee ce throughout the months of “the Canadian winter? Now is the » time, while the government is at the ‘“eommencement of Falls’. power de- velopment, to provide some. sort of \suxiliary system. The Times sug- ~ -gests pumping stations for the pur- pose at different points in the prov- * nee, It is clear that something * should be done to head off future ex- “periences such as the people of On- ‘4ario have been going through of late, to their great loss and exaspera- tion.

There are thousands of lights burning every night in the city, both in homes ‘and on the streets, that could .easily be dispensed with without inconven- iencing anybody. There are electric signs that consume a great deal of power, store windows and other de- vices that are not indispensable, and these could be closed by order just as they wete in war time rather than have the domestic consumers seriously inconvenienced by the poor method of cutting off everybody for the faults of a few: The chief complaint is made. be- ‘cause of the hospitals... Last night there were interruptiops that. might easily have cost life. “ Nurses were busy with patients at important work, some had just returned from serious operations, and others were in. the throes of death through the epidemic of influenza. These all were fright~- ened needlessly through the failure of the Hghts. Rules or no rules, the method ‘is inexcusable and stupid. It the lights must be put out put out-all the street lights for a period of a few minutes rather than run the risk of hastening the death or adding to the misery of one poor unfortunate in the hospitals. There should be some elas. | ticity to every law, and judgment and discretion used in their operation. There is a letter to every law, and there {6 a spirit, the latter is conspic- uous by its non-application. The fault is not local. It is from the hard and fast rules of the department that deny local managers the right to think for themselves, and these things should tbe remedied with as little delay as possible. Then complaint is made be- cause door bells at doctor’s houses, at- tached to Hydro, will not ring and the sick are made to stand out in the cold. rd The use of Hydro is growing rapid- | ly in the city, and to meet the demand ‘there will have to be additions to the eadigment at the transformer sta- tians. If the peak load is to be fix- there is no need to encotirage the extension of the system until such time as power, will be available in unlimited quantities. Meanwhile, or- der the overhead signs, store windows and electric fans used to keep’ win- dows from freezing, discontinued rather than cause one minute's extra worry or suffering to the sick. Prince ‘as Business Man. There is such widespread interest in the public activities of the Prince of Wales that there is timely import- ance in an article in an English magazine on the work of the prince as a business man in the management of his great estates of the Duchy of Cornwall, his Dartmoor Reclamation Scheme, and the latest plan for the improvement of mean streets in Lon- <7 ° n. The published statements and re- ports of the Duchy of.Cornwall tell an extrémely interesting story. Among other things they inform the prince of the progress of the oyster industry which he has established, and also what his estate derives from and‘‘crosses”’ with a famous yo al stock.- These balance-sheets and state- ments also inform the prince how much has come to him through “post groats,’’ which are rental fees, and may have been cast up on the Corn- ish coast,'for the proceeds from al) such belong to him, as Duke of Corn- wall, as do also those from any that ‘ing me. wg iy * resto : bi 3 woman, he wat = a ; : e ~ ‘e ° * * ee ~ *--* 2 2 e Real Christian At 6 At Niagara Falls, Ont., they have a real Christian man, according to Rev. Thomas Todd, an old Walker- ton boy who is a Methodist minister of that city. He :told about it in Welland Avenue Church last Sun- day. A widow out in Stamford had a fire and lost practically everything she had and the Falls- Methodist Church decided .to help her with do- nations of money and goods. One good lady confided in Mr. Todd; “I had always want a new * nickel- plated tea kettle,”” she said. “The one we used was a granite one and pretty old. We had used it a long time. I thought here was a chance to°get rid of it amd get the} new nickel one, my soul craved. I would donate the old one to the wid- ow’s fund. When my husband came home I told him about my plans. He immediately “put. his ‘foot down on the idea. He asked me, if I hadn't}. _ in, the; Bible how God required the best lambs of the flock, a out blemish or fault, be given as a sacrifice to Him. ‘Well,’ he said, ‘here is a chance to test your re- ligion. You go and buy a nickel-plat- ed tea kettle and give it to the wid- ow, We'll make the granite kettle do.’ I did as he said and I tell you 1 felt better, realizing there fs no real giving without sacrifice.” SIR SAM TLL Toronto, Feb. 3.—Sir Sam Hughes, former.

The trouble with the old- fashioned methods was that when the treatment was stopped the trouble re- turned in an aggravated form. The modern method of treating in- digestion and other forms of stomach trouble is to tone up the stomach and glands to their norma] work. Every step toward recovery is a step gained’ not to be lost again The recovery of the appetite, the disappearance of pain after eating, the absence of gas, are steps on the road to health that those who have tried the tonic tréat- ment remember distinctly. Dr. Wil- liams Pink Pills are a tonic. every constituent of which is helpful in) building up the digestive organs, and- therefore the very best remedy for simple or chronic cases of stomach | trouble.
