It was humiliating‘ in the ex- treme and the humiliation was felt by all self-respecting Canadians, to find men dubbed “Hanoi-able" and bearing such honorable cities as "Minister 0i‘ hi-ilitia, and Delence." “Secretary of State," “Minister of Marine and Fisheries," “Plemiemfl come ibefore the electors openly offering a bribe Iron: the peoples money tor‘ the support oi a candi- date in order to prdlong the lite oi a dying government or at least to postpone its burial.

A DOSE OF SALTS

An attractive young lady lived in our neighborhood some years ago. , She had unusually pretty auburn hair. and a complexion startling in its whiteness. -

One of her intimate friends revealed the secret one day. by announcing that her pretty friend took n tablespoontul ot Epsom Salts every morning.

This accounted [or the whiteness o! her complexion.

The later history of that girl is a lesson in itself.‘ She bad so "thinned" her blood and weaken- ed her constitution that she was a weak lod woman at thirty live.

The salts had taken the very lite out of her blood. and so every part ot her body suffered trom lock of nourishment.

it's _ simple enough when think about it. The blood was carrying around only fifty per cent perhaps - of accessory nourishing power.

Now you will likely ask “Why then do physicians advise a dose oi salts so otteni’.

Well, salts have the power of de- priving the blood of its richness and often this richness is made up 0t poisonous matter that should bc removed froln- thc body.» Salts draw water away from thc system. and thus lessen the high tension ill the blood vessels.

Notes By the ‘Nay

Yesterday's nobes refdrred to the election in Kent" County, New Brunswick. .They were written and published before the polling be- gan. Since then Kemt has llpoken wtpoken out. loud and clear in language plain enough to be heard from Halifax to Vancouver.

The message of .Kent to Mac- Kenzie King sndhls government was. "We can no donger support you or your lzoverumen-t.” it must. ‘have been a. disappointment and‘ un- ‘ message i0 these notables when they received. it at this fes- tive season of the your. it was the sort oi message that would have heon unwelcome to any political lender at any season oi tho year.

It wss doubtless the more un- welcome because it was unexpect- ed. Kent was believed to be, a sale sent tor tho King government lt was in tact an sate as almost any seat in the Maritime Provincelubut still quite unslltle as it turned out.

Two years ego st the general election the late Liberal member. Mr. A. 1'. lsegere, carried it by s majority o! 14523. New Mr. Douc- ette, Conservetivefhes won it by a majority of Z00 votes. The ditfer- ence in the strength o! the two parties then and now ls over 1700 votes. Yen. the result was unex- pected and it was Qlllphlti».
