Cases of the latter kind are satisfactorily remedied only when the underlying disease condi-: tion has been corrected. . ‘ Bad Habits. a Cause Some of the bad habits which tend to produce constipation are lack of exercise; improper diet; failure to drink enough water; irregular liv- ing, and habitual use of laxative drugs. The last of these is ex- tremely widespread, and is appar- ently a common cause of the very condition which its victims are try- ing to escape or overcome. The avoidance of constipation and the.

Wash the face at night with hot water and soap. Then sponge with hot water, and finish up by dashing cold water on the face. The purpose of this is not only to secure cleanliness, but also to tone. up the. circulation and the oil- glands of the skin. After you have finished this “water treatment.” dry and apply an ointment consisting of one part of precipitated sulphur in nine parts of benzoinated lard.

The Address having been duly carried, at the end of three weeks‘ debate in the Legislature, by a ma- jority of 53, and the Government’s proposed Temperance Act amend- ments thus upheld in principle, decks were cleared for the budget, and Hon. W. H. Price presented his annual statement on Thursday, hold- ing the floor for nearly three hours. W. E. N. Sinclair, Liberal Leader, resumes the debate on Tuesday, and} if he cannot find something to cri- ticize, it will be through no lack of information. This financial state- ment was probably the most open- {aced ever presented in the Legisla- ture. If any detail of revenue or expenditure was omitted, either from the speech itself, or the Public Ac- counts tabled concurrently,__1_lo one vvvw _ Big-313 deieéted the fact.' The Ac- counts, thqugh reguced in §izq at _- AA- v ‘---v' a saving of some $10,000, embody a number of improvements, and are particularly clear, concise and well indexed. The fact that the treasur- er is sending a copy to every news- paper in the province would seem to point to a clear conscience and a certain sense of satisfaction. In his speech, he put it this way: “The Ordinary and Capital Exâ€" penditures are clearly marked, and statements which give additional in- formation are indicated in the mar- gin. for the first time in the history of the province, the deficit is shown in figures, and not left to the indi- vidual to decipher for himself. No one is left in doubt as to what is chargedto Ordinary and what to Capital. # The figures are there, clear as the noonday sun. There is no in- terest smothered or hidden in Gap- ital Account, and the Drury Gov- ernment’s Capital and Extraordinary celumn is now a matter of history. There is presented to you in these Public Accounts an honest state~ ment, and I invite honest criticism. The figures are clear. He who runs may read, and every dollar of our expenditure is accounted for in the various departmental statements.” The financial statement can only he referred to briefly here. While the deficit of $15,000,000 in 1923 was cut to $8,468,764 in 1924, certain items of revenue are showig a de- crease, and even with the maximum curtailment of expenditure, only one-third of which is now control- lable, the treasurer finds it unwise to make a more favorable estimate for the present year than a further deficit of $000,000. This is based on estimated revenue of $46,500,000 and expenditure of $49,070,000. The annual interest burden of the pro- vince is now over $16,000,000, the funded debt standing at $285,339,000. , With a continuance of rigid economy ' in the departments. and co-operation Inf members of the Legislature and the public, the treasurer hepes for a balanced budget in 1926. Decreased revenue is anticipated in the lands and forests department. owing to trade- conditions, and race- track and amusement tax are not expected to yield as much as hereto- fore. In addition, every deficit, how- ‘ ever reduced, means borrowing and increases somewhat the interest charges which must be met. In- terest payments last year. for exam- ple, were $2,662,000 more than in the year before. Over and above all these things, the treasurer is deter- mined to make a start on a sinking fund which will begin to pull down the provincial debt and with it the interest burden. This was talked ,of by the previous government. but nothing definite was done. and Col. Price feels that Ontario will not be .financing upon a sound business 'basis, any more than any commer- cial concern would be, until provi- sion is made for sinking fund. It will take about $3.000000 a year. and al- though the conditions outlined above are not too favorable, he. prOposes to apply the sinking fund cmmencing with the close of the present fiscal year, October 31, 1925. It is clear that new. taxation is necessarx to achieve this object, and at the same time, keep down the deficit to a point where heavy ad- ditional borrowings will not be re- quired. The new imposts are to take the form of a three-cent gaso- line tax. already announced, and al- so a beverage tax. the former to bring in about 82300300 in the pres- ent fiscal year and the latter $2.200- THE DURHAM CHRONICLE tax ere not yet forthcoming. exceptl thst it is to be collected.“ point of manufacture, end will likely 3- ply to all soft drinks, including s new 4.4 beer. It has been slid that gasoline and alcohol won’t mix, but the government is going to couple them for taxation purposes anyway. In closing his speech, the treasur- er made an appeal for- lac-operation in economy; in the collection at eyerything dug the . grqyincg, ‘ ‘uld also in connection with the depart- mental audits of which there have been some 50. brought about by the fact that since Confederation. there had been -no audit of provincial re- ceipts. “It is notan easy matter," he. said, “once you get your expenditurel up to a certain point to cut it down. It is necessary to have the co-opera- tion of members, and instead of mu- nicipalities criticizing us, or we or!- ticizing them, it would be a great deal better for us to get together and see where we can a 1 out 'down. We are in the hands of the people. If the people want heavy expendi-‘ tures, and press the Government for them, it makes it difficult to econ- omize. All the taxation here pro- posed we have got to have, to con- serve our resources for those who come after us. and I believe if we get the co-operation of the Legisla- ture in doing what is necessary, next year I believe we will be able to show continued and greater im- | p Pavement.” _ _ The Government. had 57 majority on Wednesday when the debate on the Address closed, and Mr. Raney‘s sub-amendment, regretting the pro- posed Temperance Act amendments, was put to the House.

Pinard, Brackin and Belangerâ€"voted for the Government, while Conservatives from Peel and Simcoe South met the wishes of very “dry” ridings by supporting the sub-amendment. These, however, re- verted to the Government when the main motion was put. This includ- ed an amendment by Hon. George S. Henry which had the effect of ;wiping out the Sinclair amendment charging the premier with “breach of faith,” and there was no division on the latter. As a result of the car- rKing of the Henry amendment, the “ umble address" to the Lieutenant- Governor now contains this para- graph. “This House receives with satisfaction the announcement of the decision of Your Honor’s advisers to introduce legislation which, while maintaining the principle of the On- tario Temperance Act, will provide such amendments thereto as will help destroy the illicit traffic in lo- quor and create a greater respect for and observance of law and order ” All shades of “wet” and “er‘I opinion found expression beforet e final vote. J. A. Pinard (Lib., East Ottawal moved for sale of liquor under government control, and al- though his amendment was held to anticipate a resolution by F. W. Wilson of Windsor, new on the or- der paper, and was withdrawn, Mr. Pinard forced an evening session of the House to present his viewpoint. Then Karl Homuth, (Labor, South Waterloo) sprang an amendment to the effect that citizens should be af- forded opportunity to purchase li-, quor for medicinal purposes only,j without a doctor’s perscription. This gwas also held to be out of order in that it anticipated government policy and was withdrawn. The premier declined to say exactly what the government had in mind, but there is a growing impression that the amendments will include some me- thod of reducing or doing away with the admitted abuses in connection with the prescription system. There is no doubt that the matter is under consideration by the Cabinet, and both W. F. Nickle and Premier Fer- guson expressed themselves strong- ly in the debate upon the farcical nature of this method of distributing liquor. AA Seldom, if ever, has there been such an outburst of enthusiasm in the House as was provoked by Premier Ferguson’s Speech in clos- ing the debate. Following a brief review of some of the main items of’ the Government’s activities, the prime minister dealt at length with the Temperance Act situation. He contrasted the records of the Liberal and Conservative parties, and allud- ed to the fact that the much-cri- ticized three-fifths clause of Sir James Wlhitney’s time was after- wards warmly approved by those who had condemned it. Mr. "Feâ€"rigfiSonfi summarized the matters which had to be taken into tionotdouhtatthetimethehill was introduced in 1916. There was the remeotive votes and falling-es in aupport between 191? and am.

Then we have a recent development known as the homehrew proposition. We had to exemme the situation from every angle, We bed to deal with it as n Erection! busnness proposition. We ad to seek the way that could do the most good for our people. “Now the government gave careful consideration, keeping in view the position we had tnken with the pub- lic, the necessity for an honest en- deavor at law enforcement and im- provement in the moral atmosphere of this rovince, and decided that if a dri palatable, drinkable, sat- isfying, could be bought within the ‘law, we would provide for it in the legislation, and, after careful in- quiry, the ettorney-general reached the conclusion that 2% per cent of alcohol by weight was “ell within the limit of intoxication. “Our conclusions.“ he said in closing. “ensure, we believe. the maximum public support of the Act and the minimum of organized hos- tility. Our confident hope is that adoption by this House. of the sug- gested amendments will restore re.- spect for law and order and end strife, which is becoming a menace to the peace of the community. The . paramount thou ht this Government has in mind is tie public good. We desire by every means in our power to promote the moral welfare of the province. We hope this legislation will have that result. We ask the tolerance of the general public. We ask the sympathelic_coâ€"operation of all interested in the temperance movement. We are, undertaking a most difficult task under most try- ing conditions. We are being cri- ticized by those who ‘are organized not to promote temperance primar- ily, but with a view to defeat this government. This Government real- izes that situation, and while we propose to retain firm hold upon the temperance question and keep it ever in the forefront of our activi-' 'ties, yet at the same time, knowing as we do that throughout all history. temperance advancement owes all its progress to the Conservative party, we prOpose to retain that po- sition in the minds of the general public and to deserve their confl- dence in the future." It is customary for members to applaud a speaker by desk-pound- ing. When Premier Ferguson fin- ished at six o’clock on Wednesday, his supporters threw custom to the winds and cheered loud and long while even the galleries broke the rules and joined in the outburst. Preliminary work is still going on in connection with the redistribu- tion bill. In answer to an enquiry by Mr. Sinclair, the premier said on Thursday that the skeleton mea- sure would be brought in as soon as possible and sent to a special committee, representative of the whole House, but that body could get along faster if it waited for the data now being compiled by the Chief Electoral Officer.

The Church Union Bill or Bills may occupy the centre of the stage this week. The bill sponsored by A. It. Rankin of Frontenac is ready for the Private Bills Committee. and Attorney-General Nickle, who is chairman, has expressed a hope that both sides can express their views before the committee upon the. one occasion. There is some expectation however, of a bill from those opposed to union. by which non-concurring congregations may hold church pro- perty until such charges formally vote themselves into the United Church. The real battle may not come for another week. NOBLE’S GARAGE SERVICE All Our Graduates have been aimed to date and dill then m coils for more. Get your course NOW.
