THE DAILY KAAMIMER, CHARLOTTETOWN, JANUARY 18,1900
NOTES AND COMMENTS. |
—Liberslism of the Laurier and Far quharson kind seems to be collapsing al! Biong the line.
—A correspondent reports that a pe culiar bird was discovered in a baro-
yard in the vicinity of New Haven a few weeks ago, a label aitached—“‘dead.” Might it not be the Patriot rooster ? —Ireland has furnished a lot of gener als to the present war. There is an Iriah- man a Commander-in-Chief, at the Horse Guards is Lord Woleeley; aod Lord Roberts has now the chief command ia Souta Africa. There are also Generals
White, Clery, Kiely-Kenny, and Sir Her- bert Chelmside. —Mr. Monet, the Liberal member for
Laprairie and Napierville, Quebec, has written thus:
“Ido not wish to spend one cent to bind closer the bonds—except the com mercial bonds—whieh unite us to Great Britain. We haye almost common with the old country. 1 am a Canadian, and my idea isto see Canada take rank as an independent nation ”
But ne denunciation of Mr. Monet comes from the Liberal friends,
nothing io
—Mr. Stead’s mental cond tion needs careful investigation, one is bound to think. In a recent issue of “War against
War” he deelares “ that compromising secret documents were found by the Boers, apparently on General Symons, revealing a thoroughly worked out scheme to at- tack the independence of both Republics as far back as 1896.” On tie very same page this astonishing publicist asserts “thai the Government were repeatedly warned as to ‘ the gigantic nature of the war upon which they have embarked the Empire without any adequate prepara- tion.””
~-Wallace R. Decker, of Johannes- burg, an American interested in mining in Kruger’s country, isat bis daughter’s home iu North Adams, Mass. Dr. Deeker says that the English pay about all the taxes iu the Transvaal, and despite this the Boers have an intense hatred of every- thing British. He describes the Boer farmers as shiftleas, ignorant and lazy. te says tne Boers are far from being the God-fearing peeple beld upto the world. There is norugh a thing as justice, and a man’s ability to get free from the clutches of the law is limited osly by the use he makes of his p.cket-beek. Mr. Decker says he has no hesitation in declaring England to be in the right.
—Mr. Tarte is evidently alarmed at the effects of his racial and anti-~Britieh caw- paigon, and he publishes aa apologetic article in the Patrie, in which he seeks to
epudiate the article of the Semeine Re» ligieuse of Quebec. “ It would be a pro- found error,” saya Mr. Tarte, “to say that there exists amongst the French- Cacadians the least desire of changing their political allegiance. We are not English, we will never be, but we are, and we wish tocontinue to be British citizens, subjects of the Queen and the Empire. There is only one opinion op this point.” Mr. Tarte adds that in the English pro- vinces there is a movement being organ- ized for the exclusion of the French-Cana- dians from their legitimate influence.
—Two main objects, writes the Times military expert, lie before Lords Roberts and Kitchener—(1) To render our troops mobile; and (2) to transfer the seene of Our main operations as soon as possible from lines of country which have confer:ed the maximum of advantage upon the enemy. The first objeet can be aitained by organization only. The means will 800n exist in abundance. The second de- mands the rectification of a strategy which, a+ was expected, has proved eseen- tially fau'ty.! There will soon be a unique body of mounted men in South Africa, whe, if well handled and ejuipped with light traneport earrying at e - a week’s supplies, would speedily dicever and turn to advantage the weak points of the Boers.
—Here is a little table from the Public Accounts, page 51, showing bow the taxes have grown :—
Custems Exciae Total 1895-6 $19,833,279 $7,926 005 $25,759,285 1896-7 19,478,247 9,170,378 28,648,626 1897-8 21,704,802 7,841,562 29,576,455 1897-9 25,316,841 9 641,227 34,958,869
The taxes for 1898-9 are larger than any yet collected from us ia one year; they are $7,201,000 higher than the taxes of the last Conservative year were. Every Capadian pays $1.44 more per anaum for Libera! rule than he paid for Conserva- tive rule, and the increase per family of five is $7.20. Baek man, Foeman, and child has to pay $6.55 to the Government at Ottawa and each family of five $34.95. —The Montreal Gazette remarks that out of the foolishmess of the Quebec Ye- maine Religeuse Anglophobe “ essay” bas come no small amount of good. There are three large divisione of opinion in the province. There sre those who think no contingent ekould have been sent to South Afriesa, those who think Parliament should have been consalted before action was teken, and those whoapprove of whet was done. From each ef these have come strong joys! words repudiatiog the atti- tude taken by Le Semaine’e writer, whieh, also, the higheet Rosman Catholic eccles- iastical authorites have repudiated. The incdent, because of what it has pro- daced, might well be allowed to drop into the limbo of dead issues,
—A few days before his sudden and lamented death Mr. W. W. Ogilvie, the great Canadian miller, wrote to the Mon- treal Gazeite a letter in the course of which he said: —* It may interest your readers to know that I have just received from my Winvipeg house a sample of wheat grown at Fort Vermillion on the Peace River, territory of Athabaska
Fort, Vermillion is in lattinde N. €8, longitade W. 116—one tho usand miles
north of Calgary, and 3,154 miles north-
weet of Montreal. The wheat is bard aod
plump, snd a very fair milling sample.
It isa well known faet that the farther north wheat can be grown, the richer it is
in gluten and phosphates. What enor-
mous possibilities this fect opens out for the Dominion! If wheat can be suecess- fully grown in these latitudes it means that hundreds of thousands of square miles may be added to the world’s gra- nary. Ie will come as good tidings of great joy to the well-fed Briton, whose qosnimity was somewhat rudely disturb- ed a year ago by the prediction of Sir Wii- lian Creoke, and will pestpone for a few cen uries longer the inevitable time,when, accordimg to that excellent authority, the oopulation of mether earth will have be- some eo dense that the available land will not be eufficient tofeed them. I shall be very giai to show the sample to anyone aterested in thie aubj-et.”
CORRECT BREATHING.
Like All Good Things it Must be Worked For. (From the Youth’s Companion.)
The supplying of oxygen is not the only function, although itis the most direct and vital one of proper breathing. Thorough expansion of the chest insures the proper filling ofthe lungs with air; dilates all the minute air cells, especially those at the summits of the lunge, where the seeds of consumption are usually first planted, and increases the circulation of the blood throughout all parts of these
organs- Still another effe.t of proper breathirg is a beautifying one. Tbe chest is
broadened, the shoulders are thrown back, the figure is erect and the carriage grace ful.
Perfeet breathing is not nature! to most men sod wemen of sedentary occupation and indoor life. Like all good things, it must be worked for, and the work must be preserved until full and deep respiration has become a habit,
The means of attaining this object are various and cannot be recounted bere, but they are all bated upon the principle of removing permanentiv every obstacle to the free entrance of air into the lungs.
School children sittng at their deske, clerks bending over their ledgers, seam- stresses at work with the veedie or the sewing machine, typewriters and al! wio must steop ak they earn their daily bread, should leavn to stop from t'me to time, to sit back “in the chair, throw back the shoulders aod dav in ten or twelve deep, slow respirations, holding the breath for three or four seconds each time the lungs are filled.
These exercises. like breathing in gene- ral, should always 4e done with the mouth closed, forthe pvose isthe only proper chaouel forthe passage to and fro of the air. A school teacher who will interrupt the studies once every hour through the session and teach the class to do this breathing exercise, will be cootributing more than she can ever realize tothe future well-being of her youthful charges.

Doctors said —Incurable
But the Notary, Mr. Lemire, was cured of Kidney Disease in two months by Dr. Chase’s Kidney- Liver Pills,
It is only when thororghly convinced of the superior merit of a remedy that public men will give their sanction.
Mr, E. H. Lemire, Notary Public, 3692 Notre Dame Street, Montreal, tells of his res markable recovery from a severe attack of kid- ney disease. When doctors had failed, Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills saved his life. He writes: ‘'I give this statement, first because it is only just that the merit of Dr. Chase's Kid- ney-Liver Pills should be made known, and again in order that others may profit by my experience. For years 1 suffered with kidney disease which doctors pronounced incurable, Thanks to Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, which I have used for two months, Iam com- pietely cured. They helped me from the first, and the cure is now perfect.”
Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills act directly on the kidneys, and through their combined influence on the kidneys and liver, cure the most complicated diseases of these delicate organs. One pill a dose, 25 cents a box at all dealers, or son, Bates & Co., Toronta

““What’s good for heartburn,” asked Mr. Johnson from his chair by ihe self- | feeder where, feeton the rail and pipe in | mouth, he wae ‘taking his comfort’ to the best of his ability.
“Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablets,” said Mrs Johnson.
‘*‘Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablets are for iv- digestion, aren’t they?” said Mr. Johnson. “That’s what heartbern is caueed by,’’ eaid Mra Johnson.
“I thought it was caused by emoking too much,” said Mr. Johneon.
“Well, smoking spoils the digestion,” said Mrs Johnson, “and heartburn is one of the results.”
Mr. Johnson took his pipe from his mouth and looked at it.
“Theu they are only two ways for a fellow te get over heartburn—give up
emoking or take Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablets.” “Yes” said his wife. “Thev are the
only alternatives I know.”
Well, I ean guess which one I’m going to take,” said he, putting his pipe back into his mouth.
“Dedd’s Dyspepsia Tablets,” said his wife.
‘“Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablets; exactly,” repeated Mr. Johnson, “How much are they ?”
“Fifty cents a box.”
“All the druggists, I euppose ?”
“Oh, yes, any store that handles medi- cines at allcarries Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablets.”
“Take them after meale, don’t you ?”
“Yee; one after each meal upless you are very bad, when two are recommended”
“Well, 1 must get some. A man’s cer tainly get to have his pipe, but its bard lines to lose his health for it.”
‘“You’re picking on a reliable article in Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablete,” said Mra. Johanson,
