The Quebec Premier said the mat- ter was an important issue, for there was being launched lu the country an entirely new piece of legislation of the ‘patemal’ kind and it was we“ known m what direction this, would lead. Good though its general prlnclplgs might be. it could not be prcpefly appllfid in this province. The federal governnlent had» passed the lsw without consulting the pro- vinces which were then called upon to ggcepf, it and pay. It was true that British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan had accepted it. and! Alberta would do so, but the Dill" provinces had not. There were I'll’-

in Canada over the 1

ious races in Canada, with dlflereni mentalitles, and what pleased one section of the country did not P15“! another section. Ontario wished to make the municipalities pay half the provincial cast.

Peter Heenan, Quo- bec would besr 40 per cent. of the burden and" it might be that in ten year; Ontario would drop out and leave the provinces to carry the bag. that is. to pay the whole cost of.the pension law.

The Hon. W. I-lPrice,“ attorney- genersl of qntas-io ' recently issued a. statement which may be condens- ed thus.

The latest munlflcont gilt of sir Charla Dalton marks him out as the most generous of our philan- thropic sons. The 810.000 he has Just donated for s new school at Tignlsh bring; up his total public donations to over $100,000. Sir Charles erect- ed and equipped the Dalton Sand- torium for the treatment of tuber- culsr patients and presented it, in memory of s beloved daughter, to, the Province. It cost him $62,003.‘ and was thrown buck in his teeth by, the last Liberal Oovfrnmenf. Sic‘ Charles then handed the building and equipment over to the Episco- palDlocesc. and they have util- izcd it largely in the building. and equipping of the new City Hospital.

Sir Charles also donated the spac- ious Dalton Hall ii; connection with stf nuristsrre University. This cost him $33,000. Now he has done fur- ther service to education by giving‘ $20-$00 for a newpubllc school in Tlgnlsh, the centre of hLs life work.- where he is best known, loved and esteemed, being the proverbial ex- ception to the maxim about pro- phets. .

While on this subject iii: writer may be allowed to give some recol- ‘ lcciions about what happened when the lost Liberal "Government turned down an oiIer of $150000 from the Federal Government in connection with the restoration of the Dalton Sanatorium—that second blackest page in Liberal msludministratiou.

‘The Dalton Ssnalorium was, in the first place loaned to the Federal War Hospital Commissioners during the war on the condition that they were not to make any changes in it without first of all consulting the Dalton Ssnstorlum Commission. They did, however, make such chang- es. enlarging and developing it be- yond the then needs, requirements and nnancisi ability of the Province. when it came to the time of hand- ing back the Sanotorium, the local Commissioners claimed that the changes and extensions made had but the Sanotorlum beyond the abiliay of the Province to operate the insti- tutlon.

The Federal Government sent In officer to investigate and report, and

REMOVING TONSILS BY ELECTRICITY

You" have had repeated attacks of tonsilltfs_ and your family physician and specialist have advised operation.

They have pointed out that where the tonsils are not bsdly- affected, even although quite large, the gen- eral opinion now ls not to disturb them.

But that when the tonsils, or even one of them, is in bad shape, that rheumatism was very likely to follow and after that, heart disease.

Then some one tells you that you will not need to undergo the opera- tion, that the tonslls can be destroy- ed by electricity which cosguiates the tissues and by "drying them up" des- troys any harmful organisms. I

l

Of course it means going u number of times w the office of the special- ist vvho does this kind of work. The treatments may extend over a num- ber of weeks, even months.

What about this?

There has been a lot. of arguments both ways about thlfmetnod, for the past ten years, but those in favor of it and those opposed are still widely apart in their opinions.

That this method is helpful in some cases cannot be denied. There is the very nervous individual who will not undergo s. general anaesthetic and yet hesitates about having such an oper- ation pelmlmeli by s local anaesthe- tic.

He feels that he might "faint" dur- ing the operation and something ser- louswould happen.

He is quite willing, however, to go a number of times and have the ton- sil tissue “coagulated" by electricity.

‘There are others who have some organic condition which prevents operation _by the knife. Here also the electro-dessicatlon treatment is of service. And cases also where the condition of the tonsils ls bad, but the specialist is uble to get at‘ every part of the tonsil and destroy it, not leuvi lng any portions to give trouble.

However, there is no question but that where the tonsils are in a very bad condition and the patient can stand an operation, the use or the knife to clear away every bit of tonsil ts the best treatment."

71w flaming Youth .

Of The Ages

Condensed From The ‘Mentor

Napoleon Bonaparte, general of the army of Italy at 26. first consul of France at 30. self-crowned emper- or at so, is a figure with- the imag- ination. But think of Alexander the Great of. Mnced iiu. Greece, Persia, India and Egypt, who began at 12 by conquering the fiery steed Buceph- ulus, after the most adroit horse- men of the Macedonian court had failed; who, at 20. started to con- quer the world, symbolizing his am‘- bltion by cutting the Gordian knot; and who died at 33, having realized his dreams, having committed every conceivable crime and having ex- hausted every possible human em- otion. In his greatness and in his infamy Alexander. or Iskander Beg. as he was known to the East, was the flaming youth of all the ages.

Alexander flamed from the cradle and before. I-Ils mother, Olymplas, saw in her prospective son her re- venge upon her husband, Philip. “Last night I dreamed I gave birth to a young lion. He swallowed you at one gulp. Then. taking one end of Macedonia in his teeth as if lt were a mere rag, he ran with it over mountains and valleys, across rivers and seas, into Asia." Such was the ominous prologue to the stupenduous drains. of Alexander. Philip at first dreaded the coming of his heir and essayed to drown his thoughts in orgies of wine nsd carnage. But when the baby was presented to him fear turned to pride. To educate Al- exander in statecraft, and to help mould him roi- the duties of king- shlp, Aristotle was brought to the Macedonian court.

Philip died; the epic of Alexander began. Persia crumbled before his victorious march. There was a crit- ical moment when his army was weighted down by spoils of gold and silver and precious stones. Alexand- er gathered all the plunder ln one huge pile and set fire to itfThe sol- diers. at first furious, soon realized the wisdom of their leader. They walked lightly again. Their feet had suddenly become winged. The con- quest of Persia served only to whet

Alexander's ambition, Beyond was India, Q unknown land. reputedly of enormous wealth. It was in India that he attained the supreme heights of L grandeur. Behold his tri- uinphial procession! Hundreds of white "elephants with gilded tusks; Bactrlan cavaliers rlnding their mounts backward; enormous bulls with Jeweled horns; troops of black elephants; red camels; henna-dyed horses; finally Iskander in his char- let, as broad as the road, drawn by four roads of black stallions. ten to a row. Iskander, sitting on an ivory throne, was surrounded by 400 free male lions.

Thst he should pass as a god he had the roads strewn with blossoms and hung with festooris. He proclaim- ed himself ready to conquer the stars. "I am my own law. I am wind and light embodied; born from the breath of God upon fire."

Alas for the futility of human am- bitioni If ‘he conquered the East. the East also conquered him. by in- stilling its poison in his veins. Win- ning the world he could never win whut he wanted most. 11c knew that those that were prosti-ating them- selves before him wore‘ whispering the word ‘barbarian’ bchind his back. Above all, lie might conquer but he could not win the love of tlie woman he most desired. Statirn. the daughter of the Persian king Darius.

Terrible is the picture of Isknnrl- er's lost days. The prostrate East was avenged; its insidious poison was working, transforming the gen- ious into a madman. Reason fled with the death of lils boyhood friend. Hephaestion. Glaucias the physician was crucified on the lid of the bier that held‘ the corpse. Iskaiider slaughtered his best horscs. He strangled his slaves. with his own hands. He burned down villages and towns. The bodies of men and women did not yield enough blood to quench his thirst. He ran amuck among iris elephants. stabbing and hacking.

Theb- happily. the poison that had bcencarrled across seas and over mountains from his native Pclla reached him at last.
