amined Horses for Use of Soldiers.
(From our own Reporter.)
OTTAWA, April 12.-The Public
Accounts Committee got back to horses yesterday, when more light was thrown on the purchase of horses ln Kiug’s County, Nova Scotia. Sensa- tional evidence' was given several days ago by _a King's,County horse dealer and farmer to the effect that aged and
_&;okg_i_.down horses utcrehought by
o overhnlout:.“~ The horse dealer.
Mr A. P. Harvey, openly gloated over tho fact that he had sold, for the use of the soldiers. useless equipment. The farmer. Mr S. S. Selfridge, claim- ed he himself sold good horses. but insisted that his neighbours painted off all their old and worn cut.mures
on the Governmenobuyers, who were*
representing Mr Arthur Dewitt Foster. Both those men admitted that they were strong Liberals. and after to- day's evidence no one could doubt that they were either lulsreprosenting the case-for the sake of party advantage or exaggerating in tho most preposter- ous manner.
The veterinary who passed the
horses. Ur Cllipluau, vcry evidently knew his business and told u straight- forward story. He denied most cm- phaticully that he had passed any old horses and declared be had purchased but one liorso from Mr Harvey. This horse, although sprung in tho kuocs. was sound in overy way. and ho had

_hardest kind of a -test. \
Mr E. N. Rhodes had a wllolc sheet'
of telegrams from neighbours of Mr Selfridge. wllo wanted to come to Ottawa to testify, and denied lu the most emphatic manner that the horses they had sold were old and decrepit. There will evidently, judging by the folic of the telegrams, be a warm re- coption.~awaitin'g- 'Mr Selfridgc when' ho gots back home.
Mr Cnrvell fought vigorously und
successfully to prevent these telc- grams being put in as evidence.
Mr. Arthur DeWitt Foster. the
youngest member of the House, who defeated Sir Frederick Borden lust clcctioii and wllo had looked after thc purchase of the horses, was on tho stulld and was examined at length by Mr. F. B. Carvell in his usual, bull- dozlng manller. At one stage Mr. Car- vcll called tho member for Klng's "an idiot."
Mr. Foster in the most emphatic
language denied that he had received any commission or ally remuneration in any way. shape or fornl for thc horses which had been purchased. He had not handled one dollar of thc money personally. _ ` Mrs. Plsmondon. of Quebec. who
supplied drugs to the Valcarticr camp. was rosuilcd. Of tho $23,000 worth ol' .supplies charged $17,000 was for Val- cnrtler. $4.000 for veterillary drugs und $2,000 for the military hospital at Quebec.
in answer to Mr. Rhodes, silo said sillco the war began there had boon. profits ill tho prices varying from 25 por cent. to 400 per cent. The charges she lnadc were based on a profit of from 20 to 26 por cont.. her prices were fixed by arrangements with thc officers of the Militia Department. Sllc had great difficulties lu procuring thc quantity required, As regards the statement that $9 had been charged for one gallon of whiskey or brandy Mrs. Plamonde said it was supplied in bottles at from nine to twelve dollars to the gallon.

Among the earliest garden products
is the rhubarb stalk, and it has such u large sphere of usefulness, and is so generally liked, that if. pays to have a few roots of it growing in the gar- den. Few families, however, realize the variety of dishes thc stalks may cutcr into, or how many ways rhubarb can be served. Generally a few pics itrc made, some dishes of sauce, and then the plant is passed by. But any good cook book will tell you of nially ways in which it may bc accoptably served, either ulollc or ill combination with other fruits.
During the curly spring thc stalks
are very juicy, and will cook all to pieces with very little stewing; but~ later on it may bo canned, made into preserves, mlirmalades, jams. buttors, and k`ept until needed for a variety in the winter.

sons which the war office considered adequate. in the meantime train- ing had proceeded. it should be remembered that besides _lngsptry and artillery forces was necessary for every division and that guns and am- munition were essential to make the force effective. Moreover the en- ormius number of men under training in Great Britain necessarily caused delay in providing for accommodation for contingonts from the overseas dominions. It was not desirable in the public interest that the subject should be pursued further. Up to the present no call has been made on the Canad- ian Mounted Rifles. But their turn is likely to come dlrootly the technical situation charges in the western the- atre operatlons. We are therefore, it seems, within reasonable distance of the time when a Canadian Expedition- ary Force of sonfo 50,000 men will bo serving overseas and to maintain that force in strength and oillclency. a supply of reinforcements. properly trained and fully equipped, will have to be provided: to say nothing of remounts and constant replenlshments of material of every kind. Total losses cannot be determined because it is
impoqgible to say with anything ap- proac ing certainty bow long the war will last and the condition which at present Govem the conduct of
the campaign in Europe are bound to -alienate n course of time. But there ire data on which the waste of war oan be calculated and reinforcements
lnuet be prepared on a corresponding scale. W th e view to securing the result _desired provision has been made fo theeetabltshment of an over-

some surplus units which embarked with the first contingent are being uti- lized for the purpose. These depots would feed by unite stationed in Cana- da and will furnish drafts for units serving at the front. So far as at pre- sent can be foreseen a total of about 150,000 mon would be required should the war last another year. That is to say an original force of 50,000 plus 50,000 sent overseas for relliforcc- ments. plus 50,000 in Cnnadu ulldor training. 1

connection he drew attention to that part of Euston Street lying between Weymouth and Cumberland Streets. It was positively dangerous to travel over at llight, the middle of the street doing service as a gutter, with n. "manhole" projecting about eight inches. Tile clay, which would be taken from Orlebar-only one block distant-coulil be used to repair this street. The Street Committee were present. and he felt that as this was a very important street over which much traffic passed it should certainly form 'a part of the programme. The amendment on being put was lost and the motion was carried.

cillor Wright. seconded, “That the Mayor and Fire Committee look into the matter of fire apparatus for the Department and report on the best and most reliable apparatus to meet reriuirements.” Tile resolution was carired.
