a little mush and some potatoes for hi'
dinner. and hcre were all these beau

How Miss IIettie would help thcil

to eat more.

SHE hal finally decided that a chicken

be all She could afford for the dinner.
lIettic rose early Wednesday morn

was still dark she heard n heavy wagon

And Mr.. Jackson. in his loud. CHEEKY
voice, wished her n happy Thanksgiv-

key, which he said, Mrs Jackson
wanted him TO bring in to Mis- Hcttic."

To this combination there has been

OF affection for the soldier and love for
the w-orlsingmcn; and the most persist
cnt misrepresentation OF democratic

has won solely on the strength of its
principles and the confidence inspired
hv It's candidates rs the representatives
Of those principles. il ground for the
hearticst congratulation. IL gives the
lie to the republican pretcnse that the

One Of the most prominent con.ribu-
tors TO this grand result has undoubt-
cdlr teen the secrc, ballot secured by
the Australian system. As carly in the
season rs when Mainc and Vermont
voted il was plainly indicated that the
reprhiivan party mad lost onc Of it's
heaviest weapons IN being deprived OF
the power To i~ntimidate voters. The
party leaders recognized this, and
showed their recognition by dcnounc-
in- the secret ballot. which before
they pretended 10 favor and desire.
The result OF yesterday r~cinforces the
lesson OF Vermont and Maine. In spite
Of the lavish use Of mozcy. which has
been poured out like water BY the
party OF so-called protection" the
masses have voted IN accordance with

ballot have been more than realized.
The rchulsc which has been admins

more crushing. indeed, than the re-
bulsc Of two years ago. That may have
been due to the unrcasoDing revolt

two years experience, and represented
the calm. deliberate Judgment of the
people. Studied misrepresentation in

sage has its advantages, notably in
whisky. No other quality can equal
that of maturity, nothing else can contri-
butte to even the finest and purest whisky
the round, soft and mellow character
istics secured by genuine age. We have
it on the highest medical authority that
the use of pure and fully matured whisky
is not only not deleterious, but is even
very beneficial to the system. 1t Is the
raw, crude and unadulterated spirits that
work the mischief with ones constitution,
and until our Legislature has made US as
secure from this pernicious stuff as our
Canadian friends are. We cannot claim
for whisky an unqualified position among
beverages.
SIN Canada there is most stringent
law in force, preventing any spirit from
being sold until it has arrived at the age
of two years. and to ensure this the
Government retains it in its possession
for that length of time alter manufacture
a precaution that is not taken by any
other government in the world. Not
only has the consumer OF whisky in
Canada the advantage CT an enforced
minimum age; they have also this Sc
curity-the benefit OF which is shared by
the producer-that every bottle Of
whisky has its age guaranteed by
Government"
In one particular only, but that a very
important one, is the article above quot
ed incorrect, viz: In the statement that
"every bottle of whisky has its age qua
ranteed by Government" The distiller,
or any other person, may bottle whisky
in Canada away from the Government
control but to provide a much needed
security to consumers the Government
PERMITS distiIler (AND DIsTILLERs ONLY,
to bottle under Excise supervision; the
spirit in fact remaining in bond, and the
process of bottling closely watched by
officers, until the official stamp has been
placed over the capsule. In NO OTHER
WAY CAN THE GUARANTEE MENTIONED BE
OBTAINED.
We have never put up bottle OF
whisky without the Government guaran-
tee, and no goods purporting to be ours
are genuine unless they bear over our
branded cork and capsule the Excise
Stamp of the Dominion OF Canada.
