Another ridiculous food {ad has been branded by the moat competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain. another for muscles. and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a particular part of the body, but it will sustain every other part. Yet. however good your food may be. its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or prevent their coming by taking regular doses of Green’s August flower, the favorite medicine of the healthy millions. A few doses aids digestion. stimulates the liver to healthy action. purifies the blood. and makes you feel buoy- ant and vigorous. You can get this reliable remedy at Darling’s Drug Store. tf.

But we would never get a trade treaty with that country while they can have our markets without it and shut out our products from theirs. The only way to deal with that country was as David Harutn said about a horse trade : " Do to the other fellow as he intends to do to you, only do it fir‘.” Our aim in Canada should he to have a pronounced policy so as to get as fair return for work and investment as could be had in any country ; our policy towards the nations of the world should be one of friendliness to all but nullity to none.” From the Ottawa Citizen of April 29th we clip the following synopsis of a Speech made by M. K. Richard- son. M. P. for South Grey. in the de- bate on the budget in the Dominion Parliament. “ Mr. Richardson (South Grey) pointed out that the finance minister had neglected to abide by his own advice to the people to make provision duviug times of buoyancy against times of stringency. With the abolition of the corn tax the last hope of our getting a preference from Great Britain departed. So. too, as regards reciprocity. we had given away everything we had to ofier, and now we stand before both nations empty handed. As to the policy with regard to Germany it had led to this. that we were engaged in a tarifi war with that country that might embarrass Great Britain, as the result of bungling over the pre- ferential tarifi. Again, there was to Strange Story From the Boo Regard- ing the Identity of a White . Child Living Among A short time ago an old resident of Thessalon named \Vhite while travel- ling on the Soo branch of the C P. R. overheard two prOSpectors, who had been exploring the almost unknown regions back of Thessalon, telling of a white woman whom they had found living with the Indians there. These Indians live in the most primitive manner, in tents, and few of them can speak a word of English. Mr. \Vhite was interested in the story and soon called to mind the strange disappearance of Maud Gillespie four- teen years ago. He inquired of the prospectors regarding the woman, and upon his return communicated with Mrs. Dunphy. who has seen the Indian Agent and taken the matter to the Government, asking that steps be taken to recover the girl. which will undoubtedly be done. The story told by the prospectors is an interest- ing one. They had been exploring the regions back of Thessalon in the search for mineral wealth. and had seen no human being for weeks. Suddenly they came upon this village of Indians on Green Lake. near the Missisauga River, about 100 miles back of Thessalon. While trying to talk with the Indians they were startled to see a white woman who appeared delighted when she heard them speak in English. They talked with her, and she told them that years ago when she was a small girl she had been stolen by the Indians and had lived with them ever since, never seeing a white man except the French trappers. with whom she was unable to talk. She was anxious to get away from the Indians and im- plored the prOSpectors to aid her. They promised to do so. The girl speaks English in the manner of one who has not had occasion to use it for years, and is as uncouth as most of the Indians themselves. The pro spectors found it necessary to use the simplest sort of language in order to make themselves understood. and said that they are in doubt whether or not the sight of the girl will be welcome to her mother. if. indeed. she is the one whom Mr. White and others now believe she is. no truce of any sort or description could be found, and at last she was given up for dead and the search abandoned. The years passed and her father died, her mother marrying again a man named Dumphy. and now lives in the Canadian 800 on Gore street. Maud Gillespie had been forgotten by all but her mother, who has never given up hope of seeing her daughter agahL Ssult Ste. Marie. May lO.â€"From informstion recently received in the 800 it is believed thst Maud Gillespie. who as a girl thirteen years of age. mysteriously disappeared from her home near Thessalon thirteen years Fourteen years ago Maud Gillespie. at that time a girl thirteen years of age. lived with her parents about three miles out of Thessalon. One tants. who earned their living in a couple of little sawmills established in what was then little more than a wilderness. Late in the evening af- ter the parents of the girl had become alarmed at her absence the entire population turned out to search for her. but no trace was found of her that night or the following day. Excitement became intense. and the mills were shut down and all kinds of business ceased while the peOple hunted {or the girl. For two weeks this kept up without avail, and the neighboring towns of the two Soos were searched because of rumors that the girl had been seen in them. but ego this coming summer. has'been found living with the Indians at Green Lake.
