The Senate Lobby Investigation committee
on Monday had before it Henry B. Oxnard.
Vice President of the American Sugar Company,
who proved to be a Y witness possessed of more
information than many wi have preceded him
on the stand. Mr.. Oxnard testified that out of
a capitalization of $40, 000, 900 by his Company,
SIS, 900, 900 of this was watered stock. The
Beet sugar industry, along with cane planters
their claim before the Ways and Means commit
tee for protection on sugar. The man in Louisi-
ana has joined with the other manufacturers
and there has no doubt been a lobby maintained
for sometime, in the interest of the sugar raiser.
The Beet Sugar Company asked for protection
to their beet industry when they admit to have
over capitalized their plant by four to one. This
admission of, Vice President of the Company
should place the industry in such attitude that
they will no longer have a standing before the
committee. The people at large should not be
taxed to support any industry that admits that
its stock has been watered.

WOn1nrl'S Beauty is
Based ON Health
To Have Health, Bowel
Movement is Absolutely
NecesSary-HOW Best
to Obtain it

II woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics every woman would be a
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. 1t lies In health.
In the majority Of cases the basis OF
health and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not
eat carefully, they eat indigestible
foods because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough. But whatever the particular
cause may be it is important that the
condition should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
quirements, is DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker,
1O41 West Monroe St., Chicago, testi-
fies that she is cured OF grave stom-
ach and bowel troubles by using Syrup
Pepsin and without the aid of a doc
tor or any other medicine" All the
family can use Syrup Pepsin, for thou
sands of mothers give it to babies and
children. 1t is also admirably suited
to the requirements of elderly people,
in fact to all who by reason of age or
nfirmity cannot stand harsh salts, Ca
charities, pills or purgatives. These
should always be avoided for at best

A BOY INTERPRETER
4 Young Massachusetts Swede In Cam
ada Twenty Years Ago Wants
to Return.

Twenty years ago, blond-haired
young Swede, boy of about 10 years
of age, accompanied a party of his
fellow-countrymen on the then long
trip to Western Canada as an inter-
prefer The party he accompanied To-
Gated at Wetaskiwin, Alberta, now one
of the most thriving and best settled
districts in Western Canada. For
three years he remained in the dis
trict. Homesickness took him back
to his home at Fitchburg, Mass, and
he has remained there for II years.
He has heard frequently from his
friends in the West. He has followed
their movements and watched their
progress. He has heard how the town
he helped to establish has risen from
a shack to a growing. thriving, brisk
business center, with the surrounding
country peopled now by thousands
who are occupying the territory in
which he was one of the first to help
plant the colony of twenty or twenty
five. In his letter to an official of the
Department of the Interior, he says:
when I was up in Canada, Calgary
was small town and so was Edmon-
ton, but understand they have grown
wonderfully since"
The young man when he went last
learned machine trade, he has pat
ents and inventions but he wants to
go to Canada again. And he likely
will, but when he does he will find a
greater change than he may expect.
Calgary and Edmonton are large
cities, showing marvellous and wonder
full growth. Where but one line of
railway made q somewhat tortuous
and indefinite way across the plains
to its mountain pass, there are three
lines of railway dividing the trade of
hundreds of thousands of farmers,
carrying freight to the hundreds
Of towns and cities crossing and
criss-crossing the prairies in all
directions, reaching out into new
settlements, and preceding districts to
be newly opened for incoming settlers.

good deal more. But ne will find that
he can secure a homestead just as
good as any that were taken in his
day, and today worth $50 an acre, but

Public Examinations.
When a man enters the Sorbonne he
is already a bachelor, in letters,
science, medicine or law. The man
who follows a profession in France
aims, to a greater extent than some
men in America, to obtain the very
best possible equipment. Entrance to
the Sorbonne demands prolonged and
exceptionally thorough work, while the
university course itself ordinarily con-
sumes four years. So it Is easy to
understand why he may be well along
toward middle life before he gradu-
ates.
The examinations for a diploma are
no joke, believe me. The successful
candidate must present two original
theses, one of them usually in some
other language than French. These
must be accepted as solid contribu-
lions in the department of letters.
science, medicine or law, as the case
may be. And, having presented them,
the candidate must publicly defend
his theses.
He presents himself in large hall,
open to the public, where three or four
hundred persons may have assembled
to watch him undergo the tortures of
the third degree" He takes his seat
at desk facing perhaps twenty grave
professors who have certified to the
quality of. the theses he is to defend.
Each of them is provided with print
ed copy of the thesis and during two
or three hours they take turns in at
lacking it. Every adverse comment
which learned and critical mind can
conceive is offered
To these comments the squfrming
candidate must instantly reply, with
as much intelligence and f1uency as he
is able to muster. He must be ex-
tremely polite and formal. When de-
tected in a slight error of fact he ac-
cepts the correction with thanks.
Finally his defense of the thesis is pro-
nounced adequate and he richly de-
serves the doctors degree which Is
awarded him, for he has passed a
mighty bad half day.
