An Important Contribution to This Co.,
troversy. ,t
Sir George Badsn-Powell writes to tho
London Times as follows; M
An event of far reaching Importance
has been contaminated Mails from
China and Japan have been delivered in
London within twenty-five days of leav~
ing Yokohama, and inclusive of three
days unnecessary delay at New York.
A great deal of public discussion pre-
ceded the opening of this new mail route
to the far east via Canada. but parlia-
ment gave its final sanction in voting q
substantial subsidy for the new lines.
When you permitted me, in the col
umns Of The Times, first to advocate
this new route, I estimated that, when
the system was in proper working order,
mails would come through in twenty
seven days from China (Shanghai) and
in twenty-five days from Japan CYoko-
hama). The opponents of the route
ridiculed any such idea. But this morn
ing May 10, 1917 the very first of the
mails by this new route has been deliv-
cred in London. The Shanghai letters
have been actually thirty-two days and
the Japan twenty-five days in transit;
and, had there been an Atlantic steamer
ready, they would have been delivered
in twenty-nine and twenty-five days re-
spectively.
These mails were delayed three full
days because after arriving at Montreal
on Saturday, May 2, there was no fast
steamer across the Atlantic from New
York until Wednesday, May 6. The
trip across the Pacific was most success
fully accomplished by the new Empress
of India in ten days and half, although
she encountered cyclone; and the Cana
dian Pacific Railway company ran the
mail train 5000 miles across the CONT
nent in ninety-one hours, feat in long
distance railway travelling, I believe,
quite unprecedented.
Mr.. Goschen was well advised in grant
ing subsidy to inaugurate SO useful an
alternative mail route. The remarkable
results of the very first trip proved that
the opening Of this new mail route is
fraught with issues Of the highest inn
portance to the commerce and strategy
of the empire. Japan is placed within
three weeks of England, whereas it is
distant five weeks by the next quickest
viz, the Suez-route.
The one link still lacking in this great
chain Of imperial communication is the
Atlantic link. The time has now arrived
when that link must be devised and
forged. Canada is ready with a gener-
Gus subsidy. The commercial enterprise
Of the mother country and the strategic
necessities of the empire alike demand
the prompt completion of mail and
passenger service which offers so many
advantages as an alternative and most
speedy means of communication with
the far east.

As Our Neighbors Sec Us.

We also expect to see Democratic
victory in 1892, but 80 much the better
for the liberal programme of reciprocity.
The Democrats are the free traders Of
the United States, and they will go in
for no sham reciprocity. There will be
no reciprocity short Of absolute free
trade between the two countries. Hal
flax Chronicle.
There are two statements here made,
rs our readers will observe: ~ That the
Democrats of the United States are free
traders, and (2) that the Democrats will
hot agree to anything in the shape OF
reciprocity with Canada "short Of abso-
lutte free trade between the two coun-
tries. Halifax Mail.

PAsrEURs AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVE
TELLS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

fASiEOhs AMERICAN KEPKESENTATINI
TELLS WHAT you SHOULD DO
IL you are unfortunate enough to be bit
ten by dog, waste no time in sending fol
a physician. But the wound requires i'm
slant attention, writes DIR. Paul Gibler in
the August Ladies' Home journal. First,
wash 1t Immediately with clean, tepid water
III this Is not readily Obtainabe, clean water
OF any temperature will answer. This will
do until physician arrives. Ii you should
be SO situated that physician cannot at
tend upon you, then act:
After flushing out the wound. with clean
water, apply, by means OF a glass drOpper,
a powerful antiseptic. ] regard peroxide OF
hydrogen (medicinaD as the best compound.
Don't cauterlze. In my opinion 1t is a
needlessly painful operation, and is very
seldom accomplished soon enough to pre-
vent the hydrophObic infection from taking
place.
Having applied the antiseptic (peroxide
OF hydrogen to the sore, take care not tC
remove the white foam that will be gener-
ated. Let 1t remain until 1t disappears,
which will occur in few minutes. This
being done, compress OF absorbent cotton,
soaked in the peroxide of hydrogen, should
be laid over the sore, with an over-covcring
Of oiled silk.
Twice every day the wound should be
dressed in the same manner, with the ex-
| ceptlon that the peroxide OF hydrogen, in
stead OF being used full strength, should be
diluted, half and half with clean water
-tepid or filtered water being preferable.
The subsequent treatment depends upon
the condition of the dog that inflicted the
wound. Don't kill the animal unless Il
shows evident symptoms of hydrOphobia.
Have 1t placed securely i'm safe place. If,
at the expiration of one week. or not more
than two weeks, it has not shown any alb
normal symptoms, the patient need no,
fear.
Ii, on the contrary, the animal sickens
and dies, the patient should be treated by
the Pasteur method as quickly as possible
The sooner the better. AT the same time
the contents of the dogs stomach and por
ton of its spinal marrow, in glycerine
should be sent to the Pasteur Institute, No
17S West Tenth street, New York city
where experiments may decide whether the
animal died with hydrophObia or not.
Should the animal have been shot OF
otherwise killed, it is advisable that the
patient should submit at once to the Pasteul
treatment, for two reasons: first, because II
Is harmless; second, because its efficacy has
been proved beyond doubt, over fifteen
thousand persons having been inoculateC
since Pasteur's discovery.
In case the animal remains in good health
it is unnecessary that the patient submit t
incubation.

why Am a protect,on,s..

Because am an American citizen and
wish to see the people of this country
prosperous. Experience of more than
forty years in business has taught me
that under low, or revenue tariff, bust
ness depression and financial distress
has been the rule, while under Protec-
ton, good business and general prosper
ity has been the result.
If the people will stand by the McKin-
ley bill, SO called, prosperity will follow.

Pretty strong
reasons for trying DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. In the first
place, it cures your catarrh-
no matter how bad your case,
or of how long standing. 1t
doesn't simply palliate = it
cures. If you believe it, so
much the better. There's
nothing more to be said.
You get it for so cents, from
all druggists.
But perhaps you won't be-
lieve it. Then there's another
reason for trying it. Show
that you can't be cured, and
you'll get $500. It's a plain
business offer. The makers
Of DR.. Sage's Remedy will
pay you that amount If they
can't cure you. They know
that they can-you think
that they can't. If they're
wrong, you get the cash. If
you're wrong, you're rid Of
catarrh.

The Mckinley bill is restatement of

The moral with which this story of

He first got interested in this matter
through making trip to Ireland as a

His trip through Ireland was made dur

doctrines of the Land league, and his let
tiers, which were widely copied, had more
to do with awakening American synlpa-

Coming back to this country he gave a
series of lectures to crowded houses. which
