This resolution was: rem-Fwd on a Monday. which is Hlv‘ most favorable day for pi'ixzih-g memhers’ resolutions. but I was Slt‘li in bed with the flu and it was passed by at Mr. Leader’s request. The next week-end I got word that my| people were sick with the flu. i thought I would like to go home. but to make sure. that the resolu- tion was not coming up, I went to persons of authority to find out what was on the order paper for Monday. and was assured by the movers of the resolutions likely to come up. and by our whip, that my resolution would not be reached Monday. On this assurance I went home Friday night. After I had gone. unexpected illness of relatives called Mr. Graham. acting Minister of Railways. away from Ottawa. thereby preventing the Hudson Bay resolution from coming up. Others were not ready and ours was called. I again was out of the House for the reasons given above. Then \ester- day, March it, which is only a half day, the House adjourns at 6 o’clock on Wednesday, our resolu- tion was called at 530. Mr. Leader, who did not intend to go on with it at that late hour, rose. to explain, the resolution was called and un- éxpeotedly the debate was on. It fixfiectedly the debate was on.

A modern hotel is a city in itself, anfl a modern hotel is a city in itself, and a modern ocean liner of the type of the Cana- d'nn Pacific “Empresses” is certain- ly no less. When a couple of thou- sand or so of passengers are cut off from land to spend a week or more on the ocean, they must have every wovenience and comfort that land can provide. The ship must be self “tanning in every particular. In iris respect Canadian Pacific ships are as complete as modern invention an make them, and whether their trips extend for one week, or six weeks as does the cruise of the Medi- terranean which the "Empress of France” made this winter, or even for three months as in the case of the crtn'se around the world to be nude by the “Empress of Australia" this year, nothing is lacking to en- sure the complete happiness of all on As an instance of the way in which modern linen are equipped, the new- ly bowed laundry of the “Empress of Funce" is well worth comment.

In addition to the large amount of work undertaken for passengers at shore prices, it deals with 100,000 pieces of ship's linen per week. This new department is under the man- agement of G. Dawe, junior, who controls its staff of six men and thirty women. Three washing ma- chines form part of the equipment, and one of these, the largest ever fitted to a liner, is capable of deal- ing with 3,000 pieces of linen at a time, each piece being subjected to the entire washing process without removal. There is also a huge ironing machine which will iron and dry sheets at the rate of 400 per hour after they have been passed through a power wringer. This machine is operated by a team of nine girls. The higher class of laun- dry work is done by skilled ironers with press machines and electric irons, while shirts and collars, etc., are starched and finished by machines specially fitted for the purpose. All the machinery is electrically driven, and there are elaborate electrical controls for starting, stapping and regulating the machines. In the case anon unon or nmovnn . nun nun nmnr ILLNESS Dr. A.

WHITE COLLAR HEN RUSH FOR BIG PAY 'l‘he plight of the so-callcd “white collar man," the clerical worker who is discovering that manual labor brings much larger returns. has re- sulted in the possible solution of the serious situation that has m’en- aced the building trades. Within the last few months in New York City hundreds of former office work- ers: shipping clerks and clerical men of all descriptions and degrees have'decided to earn their living by the real sweat of their brows. An investigation by a reporter re= sulted in the discovery of some un- usual lights on the labor situation in New York and of the United States as well. The swing of the white collar man is not singular to New York. Nor is it something that has just begun or is just recently observed. But at this time the exoâ€" dus from the clerical ranks has become so widesbread and general and the Icorrcsponding registration for manual labor instruction :0 great that thy ---tnrn0nrer - has made itself apparent and correspondingly THE ‘nvnm amnion BEFORE IY - Sydenham, Unt. -r"1 tool you medicine before my baby was bomnnd itwasngreat belptome aslwu poorl until I had'started to tnke it.

THE COST OF TEXT BOOKS (tjhesley Enterprise, When you hear anybmly compar- ing: the low price of the books at til'I‘St‘llt used in Public and High schools with the old series, much to the disadvantage of the. latter, don’t fail to remind the simple ones who can‘t see any farther than the price printed on the books, that if they looked into the Public Accounts they would find the Province is putting up 'a whole lot of the extra cost of the new text books. J. E. W’etherall, a former High school inspector gets $4.000 a year as general editor of text books and E. '1‘. Dennison draws $0.700 per annum as assistant in this work. The preparation of the text. books costs the. modest sum of $18,530.14. Ar. Tomato 11.10 am. 7.40 pan. Returning, leave' Toronto 6.50 am. and 5.02 pm. Parlor Buffet.
