MORE LIGHT IN THE CELLER.
Tin: GUARDIAN has endeavored
Dom time to time to throw some light
into the dark recesses of the cellar
of one John G. Scrimgeour at Cardi-
gan, for reasons that have been made
auiliciently apparent. But owing to
the policy of concealment which has
been pursued by those in authority,
and the nature ot the case generally,
it has not been practicable to give our
leaders as full a view of the premises
as could be desired. Parliament has
' mrtain powers of exploration and
these have. been recently br ught to
hear upon the Scrimgeour cellar. In
obedience to an order of the Senate a
return of the correspondence has been
kid before that House, and of this
return, not yet printed, an obliging
correspondent at Ottawa, has furnish-
ed Tm: Guaaniinv with a synopsis.
From the return in question it ap-
- pears that on the 20th of August
1398 Scrimgeour wrote to some
auatoms authority, probably Commis-
sioner McDougald, saying that he "is
*ngagad in the liquor business solely”
and “Ends that a warehouse for
 baring ' ianeceaaaryat-_this port.’;’f He
 #bathe has applied for such,pro-
,.ppg°ng to devote one half of his cel-
lar for the purpose, but that the Col-
bctoqobjedts, as the regulations re-
»,4mraa__who1e flat or the entire cellar.
He asks that his request be granted,
:andsayshewiilnt upthe portionof
the cellar in a secure manner and
under the supervision of a customs
&oer.
On the same date, 20th August
lr. George F. Owen writes Mr. Mc-
Dougald certifying that he knows
Mr. Serimgeour, and that he would
boa suitable person to be placed, in
conjunction with the Collector of
Customs in charge of a bonded ware-
house.
On the 25th August, Mr. Mc-
Dougald writes Scrimgeour asking for
a sketch of the premises, so :hat the
matter maybe further considered.
This sketch was sent forward and
shows acellar space 14 by 18 feet. lt
isiaccompanied by a. letter of Scrim-
geour dated September 12, in which
he tells Mr. McDougald that any
further information will be given by
Mr. John McCormack, customs otii-
oer, .who is “a master mechanic.”
On October 2-5th, Mr. Bremner of
the customs here reported that he
found on examination that the premi-
ses corresponded with the sketch
above referred to and that he consid-
ered the pljace secure and suitable for
the purpase intended. On the 6th
December 1898, the Commissioner at
Ottawa wrote Mr. Currie, the Collec-
tor here authorising him to grant
Srrimgeour’s application.
Such is the otiicial correspondence
in brief. The essential feature of it
is that it establishes the fact before
believed but not proved, that the
bonded warehouse is for liquor only.

Scrinigeour, but we must admit
that in his application to .the
government he was not hypo-
critical. His statement that he
“is engaged in the liquor business
solely" is clear and explict.He ignores
in this statement his official duties as
Justice of Peace and Fishery Bounty
Otlicer. These are mere side shows.His
main business is the liquor trade,
"for he himself hath said it.”
\Ve regret to say that the corres-
pondence places the government in a
very unfavorable light. It was noto-
rious that Scrimgeour had been re-
peatedly convicted of selling liquor
contrary to the Canada Temperance
Acr,in Kings County where that Act
was and his continued to be in force.
\\'ith such credentials Scrimgeour
tells the government he is still in
the liquor business, exclusively
and ne wants ii bonded warehouse to
enable him to carry it on more suc-
cessfully He wants a place to keep
his stock where the Scott Act prose-
cutorcfinnot seize it. And the gov-
ernment of Canada gives him what
he asks!
'lhese are very painful revelations,
and we record them with regret. But
inasmuch "as publicity is a prime re-
-quisite to the reform of public abuses
.l`i-it-1 GUARDIAN will keep this matter
before the public from time to timeas
,new facts transpire until the nuisance
is abated. And if the bonded ware-
house at Cardigan “for the liquor
business solely,”is in existence when a
general election comes round this jour-
nal will not be oblivious of the fact.
Phe prohibition plebiscite did not
cost quite so much money as has
been sometimes stated. In reply to
Hon. Mr. Foster a few days since.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier stated that down
to J une 23, last, the entire cost has
been $192,541 and $1000 extra
would cover all that remains to be
paid. But this is a large sum to pay
forthe lesson that the minarity and
not themajority shall rule in regard
to liquor legislatiomf

Pnor. MELVILLE B. Buellurv, '
Instructor Boston Dental College, Boston Mass
In view of the vast amount of injurydoneto the mouths of wear- i
ers of rubber or vulcanite plates, by the retention of undue heat
owning to the non conductibility of rubber, and as alumium is now-
so cheaply produced and making as it does a rigid, light, cleanly,
unobjectional plate there seems no reason why any person should
wear a rubber or vulcanite plate. Not only this, but better results
in fit and adhesion are obtained in didlcult cases, than in the use
of rubber. L. P. Hasxnni., D. D. S.
Chicago Ill. Dental School
The abovc quotations are from hundreds by eminent dentists
whose close observation in many years experience in plate work has
learned them the many advantages of metal over rubber. Q
Many persons who are compelled to wear artificial teeth on a
plate find that the ordinary plate causes heating of the mouth, bad 
taste, shrinkage of the gums, etc , finally causing the plate to get "
loose, sometimes sore lips. sore mouths and sore throats, and caused
directly from the wearing of an ordinary plate.
We recnnaend a llelil Plate ellher of Sold. Plallm, Alulliua.
It is a conductor of heat and cold, itis non-irriating, and is thin-
er, lighter, and stonger than any other plate.
We have testimonials from persons for whom we have made
metal plates-not one would wear an ordinary plate again. You
can haveyour impression taken, and a metal plate made same day >
fulIy‘guaranteed because we make them ourselves, and know all '
about the material used. Call and see speciments of our work.
Every piece of work done by us must give entire satisfaction to
the patient, else we will not allow it to leave our oiiice.
