She spoke quietly, yet with heart
breaking pathos. Her tone and the
expression of her face unsealed some
thing in Lavina's heart-a secret
fountain which had not flowed in
years. 1t seemed to her that she was
looking at herself as she had been at
twenty-five. In all her good fortune
she had only minded herself. The
thought Of another had not once en-
tered into her plan. And here was
called in by Lavina herself. And her
place in Lavina's scheme of things
seemed to be growing larger each

JUST \ BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

The United states chamber of COM
merce is a business organization. Its
members are located in various cities
all over the country. They are MEM
hers of all parties, and doubtless have
widely divergent view on matters OF
national politics. But there seems to
be no difference of opinion among
them as to the necessity tor Il mlethoo
OF treating the tariff different from
that which has always been employed
in the past. The organization adVo-
Gates the creation of q non-partlsan
tariff commission which shall study
the facts which have a bearing on the
making of tariff schedules. which shall
supply these facts to congress, and
on whose reports congress may act
intelligently in framing future tariff
bills.
1t is unnecessary to critlclse, at TINS
time, the democratic party for not
ADOPTING this plan at the outset. h
tariff had been the subject uppermost
in the public mind since work was
started on the framing of the Payne
Aldrich bill. That bill was satisfactory
to no party. and there was a strong
popular belief that in its framing there
had been a breach of faith with the
people. When the democratic party
was returned to power it was expected
to enact IA new tariff bill at the ear
Hest possible opportunity, and it was
expected that the new bill would, IN
the main. follow the lines of the pres
ent bill. Whatever opinions may he
held as to the wisdom of particular
schedules, the fact remains that some
such bill was expected of the party,
and it would have been the grossest
Sinking of responsibility for the party
in power not to enact it, and as quick
Nv as possible. Had the democrats
first created a tariff commission, and
then awaited it's report, there would
have been an cutlery of bad faith, and
very properly so.
But. we will soon have the new bill
enacted and in force. incidentally

pairing his new bill. Now. when the
new bill is enacted, and the tariff is
for the time being out Of the way,
there will be every reason in the world
why there should be created imme-
diately tariff commission which will
be a permanent body, and which will
be al work continuously on a study
of all conditions both domestic and
foreign, which have a bearing on the
subject of duties, to the end that when
there appears to exist the need later
on for further revision of the tariff
congress will have accurate and trust.
worthy information to guide it in its
deliberations.
The chamber of is com
mitted to such a plan. Is there any
good eason why any mai should op.
pose it?

THE PROGRESS OF HEALING.

DR.. Stephen Smith. of New York, at
associates in honor of his eighty
eigth birthday, talked interestingly of
h progress which has been in medi-
cal knowledge and medical practice
during the years Of his own expert
ence. When n looks back over the
things that have been accomplished
during the active lifetime of this one
man he must necessarily be impressed
by h wonders that have been per-
formed for the alienation Of suffering
and the prolonging Of human life
within such a short time.
When DR.. Smith began the study of
medicine, in 1s4S, anesthetics were al
most unknown, n antiseptics entire
ly so. Surgical operations We're per-
formed with the patient fully con-
scious held down by strong men, or
strapped fast to prevent his struggles
from interfering with the work Of the
surgeon. 1t is not strange that under
such circumstances operations were
LII Iou6h Ill vi dClGt,
and it is remarkable that operations
on the vital organs were often per-
formed with success.
Nothing was known of the theory of
antiseptics, and because wounds were
almost universally infected suppura-
ton necessarily followed the simplest
operation. often resulting in death.
The perfect cleansing Of the wounds,
Of instruments, and of the very air
in which operations are performed,
have reduced to the simplest terms
the treatment Of surgical cases.
In the earlier days heavy druesing
was the common practice. Drugs were
crudely prepared, and vast quantities
of various kinds were administered
In order to insure the necessary pro-
portions of what were regarded as the
essential elements. The germ theory
of diseases was unknown. hence, in
the treatment of most o fthe diseases
practitioners were working in the dark.
Today. thanks to the genius Of men
who have given their lives to the study
Of these subjects. we have traced very
many of the diseases to their source.
ana most Of them have been robbed
Of their terrors. We have learned
that In many cases whore close con-

THE MOTOR CARS SERVICE TO
THE COUNTRYSIDE.

mer days, when automobiles are DASH
ing hither and yonder across the face
of the land, the jewellers in suburbia,
and in country places generally. are
not usually friendly disposed to the
machine that sweep past them in a
cloud of dust. And yet the people
who live in the country " reaped
and are reaping many advantages from
the men behind the auto wheel.
In the first place. thousands of
money-spenders are visiting country
places today mot because they are
trying to get near to natures heart,
but cau Of the fascination Of rapid
movement in a touring EAR. They
have to eat and sleep on their travels.
hence they leave a good deal OF coin
of the realm in the hands OF rural
hotelkeepers and merchants. When
accidents happen. rural mechanics
benefit and sometimes the farmer is
called in to earn an honorarium by
pulling them to the nearest repair
shop.
But the farmer ought to bless the
motor man of the cities because of the
great assistance of this new amuse-
ment to the good roads movement.
The main roads of travel in Canada
have been wonderfully improved dur-
ing recent years largely because OF
the agitation instituted. or at least
fathered, by automobile clubs.
trl tl,o ~, or-c- +lo o@~.fo~<
of so many oiled roads to the nuisance
created by the dust of the speeding
devil-wagon. In the old days, the
men of the country places rode in the
hot dust of their own making and
silently endured it. But they could
not endure auto dust clouds. Thus
came the oiled road, a luxury, 1t is
true, but a cheap luxury and a healthy
one. Had there been no automobile,
there would not he an oiled road in
the country today. and there would
be far more mosquitoes. For where
the automobile spins along the oiled
road. the mosquito languishes. If the
great west can ever he converted into
a rnosquitoless paradise. which some
doubt. the final accounting for that
happy contamination will not fail to
make mention of the oil poured out
on country roads, and oil splattered
into bitches by the rain or the auto
wheels, and doing its work there of
discriminating the winged summer
scourge of the whole animal creation.
Finally the ountry property-owner
living within a reasonable distance of
the city should not cease to sing his
Thanksgiving to the makers and users
of automobiles. For the auto has made
il possible fer thousands of business
men to own homes in the country and
to run in to business every morning
in the city. The motor car has been
a great booster of suburban property
values. even the values of land in
places many miles distant from the
nearest big city.
Therefore let the country man smile
a smile of gladness when he hears the
honk of the approaching motor car,
for it is n Of his best friends.
