CANADAS CAPITAL A! OUSED.
Physicians Association Trying


Ottawa, Canada, Nov. 25th.-This
city is stirred up as never before.
Some seven years ago the local papers
published an account of a man named
George H. Kent of 4OS Gilmour street,
who was dying of Bright's Disease and
who at the very last moment after
several of our best physicians had de-
clared he couldn't live twelve hours,
was saved by Dodds Kidney Pills.
People who know how low Mr.. Kent
was refused to believe that he was
cured permanently and the other day
in order to c1inch the matter the pa
pers published the whole case over
again and backed up their story by
sworn statements made by MT. Kent,
In which he declares most positively
that in 1894 he was given up by the
doctors and that Dodds Kidney Pills
and nothing else saved him, and fur
ther that since the day that Dodd's
Kidney Pills sent him back to work
seven years ago, he has not lost
single minute from his work. (He is

Makin9 a Daily Newspaper.

Quite often, too often, indeed, for
the peace of mind of the managing
editor, annoying errors make their
way through the proof reader and
press and loom up hideously in the dai
lies of the country, great and small.
That there is excuse for this, any one
who has observed the haste prevailing
at closing up hour in any daily office,
must admit. Just the other day an ar
ticle appeared in the Spokane Review
which covers this subject nicely and
will afford all necessary explana-
tons:
In a recent magazine article the
newspapers are taken to task for their
alleged slipshod methods. AS well
might the commander of regiment,
appearing on dress parade, criticise
the general of victorious army for
permitting his lines to become ragged
during a charge on the enemy's works.
The daily newspaper is a creation OF
haste, and must necessarily have Its
defects. These are known to the men
who prepare the daily paper, and 1t Is
not necessary for magazine critics to
point them out. They are glaring and
annoying in the eyes of publishers and
editors. But how are they to be over.

new day are pressing unrelentingly.
How changed the scene about a
magazine Office! The mere thought of
whole month to go to press is
enough to turn the head of the hurried
and harrassed toiler of the daily press.
That is almost his conception of heav-
en-. A whole month, 30 days, to exc
cute artistic triumphs and eliminate
blunders! The man who would make
an error after a month of preparation
ought to be read out of the profession.
It is not suggested that force of
newspaper workers could take q
month and issue better magazine
than those now sold in this country.
But it is believed they could make a
better stagger at it than could group
of magazine writer's and editors who
might attempt to issue seven news
papers in a week, and keep it up for
So weeks in the year.
AS a matter of fact. the American
magazine and the American newspap-
er are triumphs of skill and enter
prise. Both are the wonder of the
world. But certainly it is inconsider.
ate for magazine writer to criticise
the newspapers because their work is
done in haste. Just so long as leisure
and elaboration are essential to cor
rectness and the soundest of judy
ment. just so long will errors creep in
to the daily press. We hope and strive
to minimize the evil. but it can never
be entirely eliminated.

! the next point" But point after point
was passed, all with the same disap
pointing result, no rise. no strike, no
fish, and with heavy hearts we turned
our prov toward the bay where we
had pitched our camp the night pre-
viously. But our motive power was
gone Deprived of the enthusiasm en-
! gendered by the anticipation of good
fishing, the muscle which had kept
those sweeps moving, relaxed and the
combined strength of my crew would
not have been sufficient to propel the
tiniest fairy barque. To add to our
troubles the wind which we had been
facing all morning changed and was
again dead ahead although we had
completely changed our course. With
a rattle the huge sweeps fell on the
main deck, the crew threw themselves
down in attitudes most conducive to
repose while the craft tossed and
tumbled on that wide waste of wa
tiers, the sport of the variable winds
and the sullen, angry white-caps
which came kissing, now over the
bow, now over the sides of the help
less vessel.
Impatiently trod the quarter deck
and tried to plan some means by
which we could navigate to port,
without being compelled to man one
of the oars in person. My anxiety was
increased by the furtive but angry
glances which the crew threw in the
direction of our unhappy guide. 1
knew that they were thinking of the
hardships they had undergone in fol-
lowing that worthy the day before owe
winding, circuitous and painful
route in which we had travelled but
two miles by township lines but had
actually tramped twenty-five miles

of a rope that kept them from hanging

illustrious namesake had been hung

While I thus stood with my head
barred to the breeze and deep in cogi-
tation l noticed that the white-caps
far to the westward were larger than
elsewhere and it occurred to me that
within a few moments we would be
feeling the influence of a strong
breeze blowing directly toward the
harbOr we were seeking.

proper degree of enthusiasm I danced
horn pipe on the quarter deck, let
out two or three cheers and then or
dered that the life boats be brought
aboard.
This was quickly done and under
my directions the life boat was stood
up on end in the middle of the barge
with it's bottom facing the bow. This
arrangement left the inside of the
life boat facing the wind, wise ar
rangement, because in case there
should be lull in the wind we would
still have the life boat full of the
| ozone to help us along. With pike
poles and oars the life boat was brac-
ed in it's upright position, the guide
was ordered to steer the barge and
with this improvised sail we waited
| for the gust of wind to strike us. In
few moments, under the influence of
a breeze directly over our stern, the
sail gave flap or two, then bellied
out and we sco0ted over the water in
the direction of our home port while
the crew with lusty voices sang:
"A life on the ocean wave,
| sail with never a reef.

And plenty of canned corned beef.
