CANADA HAS
 DRUG BILL

Ottawa, Ont, March 12.-William Templeman has introduced bill in the House of Commons respecting pro- prietary medicines. It provides that no package of medicine shall be sold unless a sample of it has been sent to the minister for registration, ac- companied by an affidavit as to Whe- ther it contains alcohol or poisons, and their percentages. None can be sold unless it is of the same compost ton as the standard sample. Every bottle or package offered for sale must have the inland revenue stamp attach ed to it. If the analysis discloses that the sample submitted does not conform to the statement that accom- panies it, Or if the minister considers the medicine unfit for use, the dealer will have an opportunity to present his side of the case, after which the minister, if he deems it advisable, may prohibit the manufacture. importation Or sale of the medicine. The act ap plies to anyone who is not known as a wholesale manufacturer or import CT, but who makes Or imports pro- prietary or patent medicines for sale direct to consumers. A distribution of medicine samples from door to door is prohibited. The essence of cocaine is patent medicines is pro- hibited. The penalties provided reach maximum of $500 and imprisonment for 12 months.

TWO CENT RATE
 HITS TOURISTS

Chicago, March 12.-The rate clerks of lines in thA Central Pas senger association, who figure on the rates to apply to summer busi- ness, are figuring on the rates that must be made to conform to the laws prescribing that cents must be the maximum rate per mile passed by one of the states. This rate upsets the tourist rate more than any other, and it is going to prove a big stumbling block, so much so that there is some talk of disregarding the laws in regard to the matter. If the situation is correctly understood very slight notifications are to be made on round-trip rates, owing to the volume of business that is annually handled. The 2-cent rate is ex- pected to be extended to Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania. Last summer in making these tourist rates the passenger rate in Ohio was not reduced below 2 cents mile. This was accomplished by making the roundtrip rate on the basis of fare and a third, based upon the rates in effect prior to March 10 last year It will be un- derstood that a fare and third on a maximum local rate of cents mile is equal to cents a mile in each direction While the rate was formerly cents mile in both di- rections it gave to the railroads an opportunity to adopt reductions for those states which do not have rate of ? cents a mile. The same policy will govern the coming sum- mer and upon the destination of the passenger will depend whether any reduction will be made in the rates from the maximum rate fixed by law It is declared by the gen. eral passenger agents that cOndi
 tions and circumstances permit no other course to be followed than that outlined because the railroads cannot afford to carry the big ex- cursion business for less than cents mile, except when an eX- cursion is carried on special train.

ROADMAKERS'
 ASSOCIATION

Pittsburg, March 12.-The fourth annual convention of the American Roadmakers' association came to- gether in this city today for a ses- sion lasting until and including the 14th. The convention is con- posed of the leading good road ad- vocates throughout the United States. James H. Donald, presi- dent of the American Good Roads association, presided at the opening session, which was very largely at- tended. The South has taken great interest in this convention and has sent some of it's most practical men here to participate in the sessions and discussions. The Western states also are largely represented. Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minne- sota sending their best men.

It is, therefore, to be understood that they are willing to make prop CT reductions when the party is large and is to be transported from a specific point to another. The fact remains, however, that the railroad recently wips.1 out special train rates, and until another meet ing of the association is held substitute cannot be agreed upon.

While many of the prominent officers
spicuous actors in the affairs of civil
life, the people of the south are asked
to commemorate the centenary of the
birth of Robert Edward Lee, who was
born Jan. 10, 1907. Jefferson Davis
was born the same year and Abraham
Lincoln in 1909. These three history
making Americans had reached middle
life when they began to write their
names in the sands of time. Lee al
ways had younger men for antagonists.
He was fifty-four when lie took UP the
notable opponent, was nearly twenty
years his junior, and Grant. to whom
he yielded the sword at Appomatrox,
was the younger by fifteen years With
AppomattoX only forty-one years be-
hind us it seems strange that we should
associate the centennial idea with one
of its heroes.
Washington has been in his grave
but few years over Il century. Lee
added nothing to his fame after the
surrender in 1863. His sun had set.

tlngulshed soldier has varied little

Englnnd,s Const Lights.

1.-THE coastwise lights of England"
of Which Klpling sings, have been in
creasing in brilliancy as well as in
number ever since the dawn Of the
nineteenth century. In that dark age
weary mariners crawled into port by
the fiickering glare of twenty-five bea-
cons and six floating lights. Now they
may glide safely into haven under the
powerful beams of $50. Lighthouses
are as ancient as civilization. The
Pharos of Alexander flung its light on
the decks of oriental barges 2,237
years ago. The Romans, who loved
the light, have left the ruins of one
of their lighthouses on cliff at Bou-
logne. while at Dover may still be
seen all that remains of another. Pc
troleum and the electric light have
made the early nineteenth century bea-
cons ridiculous. On the summit of the
tower an open CRATE was fed with bill

land abandoned coal altogether for
more up to date methods in 1916 and
