he is TO preside impersonally and impair
TALLY. He has no right to initiate by
his own reference or otherwise actual
legislation because this is the precious
province of the aldermen alone.
The charter positively repeats that for
the purpose of counting a quorum he
must not be considered member of this
august body. 1t again plainly restricts
his right to recommend Il. e. prohibits
his active participation in law making
by means Of parliamentary rules, etc.).
1t again positively forbids him the pri-
vilege of an alderman to vote. The ex-
ception to vote in case of a tie further
emphasizes his lack of equality with al
dermen while so presiding during legis-
lation.
The charter says that nOminally the
common council shall be the mayor and
the mayor and alderman but it at once
limits him and does this to expediate
and shorted the address of mayor and
common council' into the common
council as short style of address in
petitions, ordinances, etc.
A mayor must then proceed carefully
and be respecter of the peoples parlia-
ment-Our common council. This body
can even hear impeachment proceedings
and GUST mayor. There, indeed is
supremacy is to be seen.
Since all American citizens are equal
ly well grounded in these simple mat
ters, any mayor that trespasses or steps
from executive into legislative fields, is
automatically making V0icelesS antag-
OniSm. The whole mental atmosphere
is against him. When the opportunity
offers, any leader at once catches the
unanimous sympathy Of the people and
a few words of righteous protests bowl
over the vain pretenti0ns Of a trespass-
ing executive.
An officer is but a mortal: rights are
immortal. An officer may be honorable,
contemptu0uS or ignorant: the law is
the essence of the experience of ages:
the officer with his frailities is soon,
very soon forgotten but peoples consti-
tutiOnal rights live on and on in fervid
remembrance.
Aldermen, speak forth loud and strong
the floor is yours and you now know
it; you have, indeed, delivered yourselves
from bondage. xH

other two jumped out but soon enough
to prevent going over the dam as did
the launch. They got out asl right =

was not damaged and soon in commits

Evil of ldIeness.

Work develops all the good there is
in man; idleness all the evil. Work
sharpens all his faculties and makes
him thrifty; idleness makes him lazy
and spendthrift. Work surrounds
man with those whose habits are
industrious and honest; in such So
ciety weak man develops strength,
and strong man is made stronger.
Idleness, on the other hand, is apt to
throw a man into the company OF
men whose object in life is unusually
the pursuit of unwholesome and de-
moralizing Observation-Disclosures Ogden

FAvoaITE DISHES FROM FAMOUS
COOKS.

The following recipes have been

many cooks:
Baked Round Steak.-Put slice of
round steak that has been scored and

added if the flavor is desired.
Orange Ice.-Make a strip of four
cups of water, two of sugar and cook
until thick. Cool. and add the rind
and juice of two oranges, and freeze
Orange and Lemon Sherbet.-To the
| juice and rind of three oranges and

INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF AMERICANS
GOING TO CANADA

Although Western Canada suffered,
as did many other portions of the
west, from untoward conditions, which
turned one of the most promising
crops ever seen in that country, into
but little more than an average yield
of all grains, there is left in the
farmers hands, big margin of profit.
OF course there were many farmers
who were fortunate enough to harvest
and market big yield, and with the
prices that were secured made hand
some returns. From wheat, oats, bar
ley and flax marketed to the list Of
January, 1912, there was gross rev.
enue of $75,3S4,000. The cattle, hogs,
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this up to SOL 100000 or 81 million
dollars in excess of 1910. There was
still in the farmers hands at that
time about IS million bushels Of wheat
worth at least another sixty-five mil
lion dollars following for inferior
grades), besides about 100 million
bushels of oats to say nothing of bar
icy and fax, which would run into sew
eral million of dollars.
There is a great thrush Of settlers
to occupy the vacant lands through
out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. The reports from the Govern
ment show that during the past year
upwards of 131, 900 Americans crossed
the border into Canada. A great many
of these took up farms, over ten thou
sand having homesteaded, in fact the
records show that every state in the
Union contributed. A larger number,
not caring to go SO far away as the
demonstrating area, have purchased
lands at from fifteen dollars an acre
to twenty-five dollars an acre. The
prospects for a good crop for 1912
are as satisfactory as for many years
The land has had sufficient moisture
and with reasonably early spring, II
is safe to predict record crop.
Those who have not had the latest
literature sent out by the Government
agents should send to the one nearest
and secure a COPY.

CHlLD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

81 think the Cuticura remedies ara
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard of. My mother had child
who had q rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave US medicine, but it did
no good In few days the head was
a solid mass, running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
Ills suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed. washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap. and ap-
piled the Cuticurn Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema. and
It has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau
tiful head Of hair. l think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.

falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
