htsicians and hate been paying tioctor's bills I was so sick and wom out that people on the street often asked me if I thought I could get along nithont help The same old htoriiacli ’1rouble and distressing l Headaches nearly drove me wild. l Sometime ago, I got a box of “T"ruit- f a-tives" and the nrst box did me good.; .\Iv husband was delighted and advi-
ucd a continuation of their use.
’i`oday, I ani feeling iine, and l‘ physician meeting me on the street, i noticed my improved appearance and asked the reason. I replied, “I am taking I-‘mit-a-tives". He said, "Well, if l~`roit-a-tives are making you look so °.\'cll gn ahead and toketheru. They

I forgot to say, with regard to thc

I havc ul- rcatly iiiformed the liousc that We pro- posc to take proccctllnga b_v thc Dc- purltncllt of Justicr- to ascertain thc tit-tual facts in rcgurti to thot.

Hlr R0l5l'JR’I‘ HORDEN: Employed
by the tioparinioiit. Tito Minister ol' Mllititt can-make u ftillcr explanation: but just iiowl-aiu giving to thc iiousc the information lic has given to nic. lic ioltl mc that thc course which hc dccldcd to pursue was this: that the pcrsons who were employed to pur- chase horses inust be paid at a dis- tinct rate for their travelling expenses. anti that for each horse purchased the (Iovcnment must know the exact price. That was accomplished by giving cre- dit to sonic responsible person in whom the depstment had confidence and that agent, together with a_vet- erlnary surgeon who accompanied lilm, and whose duty it was to pus, upon the horses, was authorised’ to | sign cheques upon that credit so- es- tablished or to give order! u ibut

dcrelood `was bulu,; rollout-il. has. that ii cheque or order inust be given for ouch individual horse. and that the person purchasing thc horse must on 4 dorse that cheque or order so that ill. rcupt-it ol every house purchased by the Dtpurtnient ot’ Militia thc Gov ernment would know thc precise aunt that it had paid If that had been cur ricd out I thliik lion, gentlemen on both sides of the House will say that very effective safeguards would have surrounded the purchase of horses for the Depatment or Militia There you ia the tirst pipes, it purchasing agent in whom the do V partnient had coiilltleucc and, in the second place a veterinary surgeon who was to pass upon the soundness ot the horse. his age, anti condition. and everything ol' that kind and in the third place, you had a cheque or order driinn to represent thc price paid bv the people of this country in respect ol’ each horso, which was itlso identlil cd so that there could be no palmlng off of any other horse for the one actu-' ally purchased. '
lt seems that during thc course of
this war thc ho'n. moiubcr oi' this House went to Col. Nt-ill, thc princip- al vetrinnry oiliccr, und urged that horses should be purclniscd in thc Maritime Provinces seeing that they were being purchased elsewhere in Canada. I shall refer rt little later on p to thc statement in connection with ‘ this subject which has been givcirto me by the lion. member for Kings, N. S. (Mr. A. Do Witt Foster). At all events Mr. Foster was employed to purchase horses in the Province of Nova Scotia. and he did undertake the duties of purchasing agent, and a cre- dit o_f a very considerable sum ot money. about $73,000 I think, was en- tablisli'ctl‘und' eventually paid out for liorscs purchased in thc province of Nova Scotia, The lion. nicmbcr for Kings, N. S.; was not thc only person cmploycd in the province of Nova Scotia. or in' lilo lllztritinic Provinces. Mujor I.. B. Anderson purchttoetl horo- cs to tho number of 195 in-Nt-.w Bruns- wick tvntl Prince' Edward Island. 'I‘hc Iion. nicmbcrfoi; Kings, N_. S., purchas- ed horses to thc number of 428 in Nova Scotia. Mr.'WaItcr Crowe and Mr. E! Cf. -Thurston purchased horses to the number ol’ twenty in Capo Bre- ton; nnd Mr. II. B. Mciicod and Mr. E. C. 'l‘liurstoir purchased horses to the nunihcr of 116, sontt-wlicrc in tho i\liti‘ltizne" Proviliccs. I do not know
precisely where.
Mr. Foster was appointed as purcha-
sing agent without'thc knowledge or consent of approval of any member of thc G'ovcrnuicnl. I kin-.iv nolliintr of it or I should certainly have absolutely `prcvc-.ntcti his undcrtukintz any such dutlcs; The Minister of Militia knew nothing of lt, and hc informs me that if ho had lii1`ti'any intiuiation of it ht- ccrluinly would ncvcr lmvt- consented lliztt Mr. Foster, ai mcmlicr of this Ilousc. should undcrlnlu: thc duties of plircllu.-=int:tit:;ci1t for tht- t_lovt-riintcnl.
