was concerned. The evidence had
been sifted over so many times and
the case has for so long been be-
fore the nation that Mr.. Lorimer's
colleagues were fully decided on how
they would vote long before his ap-
peal was made.
The extent of Mr. Lorimer's guilt
will never be known. That there was
"slush" fund used in his interest in
the campaign seems demonstrated
beyond doubt. To what extent he
was responsible for it's maintenance
cannot be ascertained. 1t seems GER
tain, however. that if such a fund
was collected it could not have been
used without Mr.. Lorimer's knowl-
edge. If he was aware that corrupt
methods We're being employed to
bring about his election and did not
use his influence to purge his cam

Mix one pint of granulated sugar with

was In the FIRST sickness she had high fever
for several days, and the doctor said it acted
like scarlet fever, but as there were no other

the doctor was puzzled She was very
