INFORMATION WANTED

Mr. Epiror,—Is it the Province of Prince Edward lIeland, asa _ whol e, or is it the City of Charlotietown, that will have to pay the $83,360.99, differen ce between the Shipyard Point and Cumber- land Street sites forthe propesed Hiile- borough Bridge? If the cily assumes the sbove large amouut, together with $3000.00 interest tor all time to come, we huve no cause to object; but if it is going to he saddled on the country in order to bring the bridge nearer to Prowse Bros. store we will kick with vengeance.

Youre truly Tax Payer. Pownall, March &ib, 1900.

In reply to this question, we have to eay that neither the Province of Prince Ed- ward [eland nor the City of Charlottetown will be required to pay a single dollar on account of the difference of cost as be- tween a bridge at Shipyard Point and a bridge at the foot of Cumberland Street.

This Province (including the city) will pay $12,000 os year for the use of the bridge for traffic purposes. It will pey this amount, and no more, whether the bridge cost $500,000 or $1,000,000 or $2,000 000.

The only difference, 0 faras the Pro- ! vince and its taxpayers are concerned, is that if the bridge should be placed at Ship- yard Point there will be $2000 or $5000 less tolls paid into the Provincial lreasury by the citizens of Charlottetown and transient visitors, than if it should - be placed at the foot of Cumberland street.

Every intereet in this Proyince will be promoted ty having the bridge built near the city.

If the Dominion Goveromeut may place the bridga at Shipyard Point to eave $858,900, they may place it a mile further up the river to save $100,000. But ‘we fee) sure that the Federa! authorities, wil not be niggardly about a lerge matter, effecting nuwbers of pecple for all time to come.

We shonli all, therefore, unite as one man te show the Government thal we are in favor ef having the bridge where it will do “ihe greatest good to the greatest number,” and that, to this end, it should be built not further up the river than (he

line of Cumberland street.

P.E. ISLAND HOSPITAL.

Tre Protestants of Prince Edward Island are to be congratulated upon their new Hospits! building. They have “eome down handsomely” to secure its erection and desrve great ,credit, When fully equipped for the practice’ of our beet eurgeons aod physiciane, the most serious and critical cases may be treated there as well, and we believe as skilfully and care fully, aset any of the hospitals on the mainland. We hope that the Hospital will, now that itis erected, be gener ouely main- t gained.

How His Life Was Saved, ' PigTERMARITZEURG, March 9.—The life of Privete Humphrey, of the 2od Lanca- shires, was saved at Grobler’s Kloof by a bullet imbedding itself in a box of choco- late he was carrying in bis baversack. The box was one of these which had been sent to South Africa by the Queen as a Christmas gift to the soldiers.

EFFECTS OF FAMINE.

Nerve-Agony Consequent ona Dearth of Rich Blood.

Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablets are the Only Remedy—They Supply the Wact by Easuring Rich Blood, Thus Curing Ner- vous Headache.

Nervous headache is not adisesse. 11 is the sumptom, or indication of disease. It ig eign that the nerves are ill; that they are +tarving fer rood.

T'be food upov which the nerves subsist is pure, rich blood.

Pure, rich bleed is mide from whole- some food thoroughly digested.

The food is digestedby the stomach, with the aid of the digestive organs.

When the stomach is out of order, weak, or overworked, it cannot do its work pro- perly. The fcod isthen only partially digeeted.

Reb, pure blood cannot be made from partially digested food. Sucl: food makes thin, watery, weak ard unheslthy fcod.

On blood like this the nerves grow weak, and starved. The result is Ner- vous Headache, Nervous Prostratiov, etc. |

There is a cure—simple, easy and) rapid, but effective, perfect and perma- nent. It ia secured by using Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablets. :

Dedd’s Dyspspsia Tablets ar? not 8 purgative medicine, although thty have a gently etimulating effect on the bowels. Tbeir action, chiefly, is on the foed, and they tore, strengthen, and stimuiate the stomach.

Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablets simply en- sure & perfect digestion. In this way they provide a supply of pure, rich blood, for nerve-food. Inthis manner they banish Nervous Headache, and all other nerve troubles originating in digestive deran ge- ments,

Dodd’s Dyspepsia, Tablets never fail. Their action is effective; their results positive and permanent. Try a box and = renee of that terrible nervous head- ache.
