A despatch from Quebec says: The Quebec District Council of Federated Trades and Labor at a meeting on Tuesday night decided to petition the Right Hon. Premier Borden, asking his Government to fix a maximum price for the sale of meat, potatoes, bread and all everyday life neces- sities. The prices lately have been on a constant soar in the district, while the wages have not kept pace with the cost of living. I General Haig also announces the seizure of a loo-yard trench north- west of Bazentin-le-Petit at the prow of the British advance toward the Martinpuich heights. Counter-attacks delivered from the latter region, he asserts, were unsuccessful. The French announce that they spent the day in consolidating the captured ground, while General Haig reports the further penetration for 800 yards of the German front west of the High Wood.

A despatch from London says: The nightly despatch from British head- quarters on the Somme front de- scribes the sanguinary defeat of pow-l erful German counter-attacks on Thursday. In one of these attacks! the Germans advanced six deep, but were taken under so heavy a fire that, they fled in retreat before even reach-. ing the British lines.

A. Magill, chairman of the Grain Commission, and Mr. Staples, fof the same body, are in the capital :conferring with the Government rela- ftive to an important question which ty, arisen in connection with the in- terpretation of the Grain Act. The {issue is whether grain d'ealers, are em- ,powered to treat grain in storage Iwith them as their own. Hitherto (they have been doing this, selling the ' grain and replacing it with other grain of the same grade. The farm-i ers cleaim that they have no right to! do this, that they can move the grain, I but not sell it without authority. Thei matter has been taken up with Hon.’ Arthur Meighen, who, it is under-i stood, has given his opinion in tayor, of the farmers' contention, and has: been referred to the Justice Depart-l ment. What Bait? "Are you inviting that queer fish, Mr. Jimson?" "Yes, I'm dropping him a line." Despite the desultory bursts of tur. tivity at various points Russian oth'- cers say there are many indications that the Germans are prepared to abandon their present line on this part of the front at any moment.

It inclines the first two bones of the {big toe toward the smaller toes by degrees, until the spring finally comes from the inner side ot the big toe and its second joint. This undue strain on the second joint is constantly pulling, it inward and away from the smaller bones.
