As ve Stewart government relied on o correctness of the accounts of its predecessors until Mr. Blanchet proved them to be incorrect. the Patriot in its attempted mud-sling- ing succeeds only in besmirchlng more than ever the late Bell gav- ernment. Here are the facts. The Stewart government assumed power in September and found not only the xchequer empty, but a he}... overdraft at the bank and heaps of unpaid hills including {'23 Road Contracts. To finance tKis a loan was necessary, and a ciiicular letter was drafted based on‘ the accounts, as prepared and

NOTES BY THE WAY. .

Hon. W. S. Fielding is Finance Miilvlctsr of Canada. present in Ottawa. still drawing the‘ salary attached to that office. but owing to illness has not been able to visit the office or attend upon the bessio of Parliament. His absen- ce from tihe House and especially the cause of lt is very regrettable. But there are various circum- stances connected therewith that seem to call for explanation. At various times announcements have been made through the news- papers supporting the Government. For instance shortly before the opening of Parliament it was publicly stated that Mr. Fielding was moparing his budget speech. it was not surprising that be was later unable to deliver it. Health and even life itself are always un- zertain and when illness 'has in- tervened the uncertainty is much .ncrcased.

Hon. Mr. Robb was made acting Finance Minister pending Mr; Fielding’: recovery, and the choice seemed as good as could be made within the Ministerial party. He lelivered the budget, and its general trend was found to be en- "ireiy different from and at__ variance with any budget that Mr. Welding had ever delivered. it was l direct reversal of the policy-of tariff stability on lines of moder- ate protection on which Mr. Fielding had laid strong emphasis only a year ago. 1t was at once as- iiilIlBd by those who heard or read ilr. Robb's deliverance- uhat he, as icting Finance Minister had dis- iuctiy repudiated the last. and nost,emphatic p. out oi the real head of the Finance De- partment. This was a strange- tnomaly in our public life.

Mr. Robb lrrhls budget speech isve no intimation that he bud zonsultcd Mr. Fielding, or in any Nay conferred with hini in rs- gard to tariff changes. This strengq hened the general conviction. based on Mr. Fielding’; latest public utterances that be had not been consulted at ail, did not know what line- Mr. Robb would take. lad not consented to the line he lid take and could not approve of But. strange to say, this reason- lble general impression was first nildly contradicted in the Ottawa lespatohes t0 the Government lress and it has since been twice mated in Parliament by the Rremier himselfidlat Mr. Fielding lproves of the Robb burget.

After Premier King bad first nade this stltdrnsnt a further an- iounocment was nude In the lttaws deopntcllos that Mr. Field- ng was expected to take his seat n the House on Monday last and there make s-public endorsement of the Robb budget. But Mr. Field- ng did not appear as expected on tionday and on, a later day Premier .(ing stated that he had con- ferred with Mr. Fleidifmy, who was n‘ accord with the budget as de- Jvered and had desired him (Mr. (lug) to so inform the House. We .nust accept this statement as true though made at second hand. A signed statement from Mr. Field- ing would have been, if not more convincing, at least more satis- factory. it is quite clear that the Government audits supporters felt it to be a mutter of great im- portnnce to get Mr. irieidinrs en- dorsement, but the country is still left in doubt alto the measure oi pressure applied in order to obtain it. and ‘whether when appli- ed for it was freely or reluctantly given.

You have read so much about the dreadful effects in the body of the poisons from the roots of the teeth, an)’ liyorrhoea~pus—in the gums, that you have perhaps thought that the doctors and the dentists were nlagniiyinx this matter. Unfortunately it cannot be msg- nified, because next to the intestine itself, there can be no doubt flint the tonsils, teeth apd gums cause more infection than any other part of the‘ body, ' - You will remember that when a poison goes down into the atom-sch. and has to fight its way through the processes of digestion in the intestine and liver, that a good deal of the harm is taken out of it. But irom the roots of teeth, and from the gums, the harmful aub- stances go directly into the blood stream .and thus small amounts, can 5e tup serious broubie.
