BREAKS AWAY FROM TRADITION
AL TRAMMELS OF ETIQUETTE
AND ASSOCIATES HIMSELF
WITH ALL CLASSES.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

. Paris, Feb. 21.-President Poincare
has now completed a year chief
executive of the French Republic. He
has gained for himself the reputation
of the most active men in France, and
increased the popularity he so sudden
ly acquired, ten fold.
Breaking away from the traditional
trammels Of etiquette, President Poin.
care has sought to associate himself
with every class of French thought
and endeavor. He has presided at
hundreds Of public banquets, not only
of the political and philanthropic or
CARNATIONS, but also OF the leading
artistic, literary and theatrical asso-
Citations. He has visited all the prin-
cipal theatres IN Paris several times
over, has attended many concerts and,
whenever his engagements permitted,
has attended the regular sessions of
the French Academy Of which he is a
member.
In addition TO official visits to Spain
and England, he has visited every part
of France, going by automobile to
many remote villages, where a presi-
dent had meyer been seen before. His
unfaiIing tact the remarkable skill
with which he can be affable without
compromising the high dignity of his
position has gained for him the az
lection, and for his office, the respect
of tens of thousands of Frenchmen,
particularly of that class which keeps
aloft from politics. President Poin.
cares personality does not lend itself
to ridicule, and his accession 10 the
presidency has deprived the satirical
sang writer's Of one Of their most
fruitful sources of inspira ton.

they separated a divorce was secured
and when she died several years after
her marriage to DR. Winters the child
was placed in an orphanage. From this
Institution he declares, he secured Ca

further than to deny that ne abducted
her. Declarations of relatives of Mrs.
Winters that so far as they knew she
was not married before she became
Mrs. Winters repeated 10 Stuart

Late today Sheriff Shuster started
with the child on a twenty five mile
overland trip for the railroad station
at Springdale, where they expect to
meet Dr. Winters. Stuart remains in

THORN IN SIDE
Of CHURCHILL
BESIDES GETTING $25oooo 900 FOR
NAVY HE HAS TO SUBMIT TO
NUMEROUS CRITICISMS OF LORD
CHARLES RERESFoRD.

London, Feb. 22.-The troubles OF
Winston Churchhil1, First Lord Of the
Admiralty, are multiplying. Besides
having to get naval estimates which
are now said TO amount to $3.50, o0o, 600
through the House of Commons, he
viii have to withstand the fire Of Lord
Charles Beresford and other critics OF
his policy on oil fuel, which is only TO
be used as an auxiliary to coal in the
battleships recently laid down. A COM
mission is considering the matter and
any discussion would ordinarily be
postponed until the commission issued
its report but the action of the ad-
miralty in reverting TO coal without
awaiting the opinion of the commits
sion has invited criticism.
Various reports are current on the
subject. One is that oil is not prov
ing satisfactory as a motive power as
it's advocates believed. but possibly
the great increase in price may explain
the reversion. for a time at least, TO
coal. One of the arguments in favor
of oil was the use and rapidity with
naces. This advantage, il is said, has
been more than neutralized 10y the rise
in the price of oil. Another argument
that may have influenced the admir-
atty is that the sources within the
British Empire from which oil can be
obtained are small. Should oil be eS-
clusively used in the navy it would be
necessary to build great reservoirs to
ensure a supply in war time and this
may be another reason for the deci
sion. While the Unionists have been
supporting Mr. Churchhill in his de-
mand for a supreme navy, this matter
Of oil will give them an opportunity
70 attack him.
Lloyd George, chancellor of the ex-
CheQuer, has assented to the increased
expenditure demanded by Mr.. Church
bill and his technical advisers. and he
will probably face the necessity of
raising the money. In view of the fall
ing trade and the fact that the expen-
ditl1re for the current fiscal year has
exceeded the revenue, he will likely
nave q deficit this year, and unless
new taxation is imposed an even big
ger one next year. Many cabinet
meetings have been held to discuss the
question and there Is a lot of specula-
ton as 20 what the government has de-
cided to do. Mr.. George favors a tax
on the site values. Another question
is that the government will follow the
policy outlined by Mr.. Asquith by
lowering the amount Of income sub
ject to the tax. This is opposed by
many liberals as it would probably
touch the pockets of many working
men.
Before Mr. George introduces his
budget he will meet the leading bank
ers and discuss the present methods
of tax collection and possible i'm
with q view of making
the present taxes realize more than
they have in the past. The chancel-
lor is concerned with the super-tax,
which he introduced, and which is not
yielding to its full extent owing to the
method by which it is assessed and
collected. Then there are certain
classes of securities which escape
taxation altogether and there IS a |
growing practice Of large land owners
OF transferring property in their life
time and thus evading death duties. J

RURAL CREDITS BILL.
THE so-caIled rural credits bill ia
thered by Senator Fletcher. proves
that he cannot get away from the spe-
ciai interests. A careful examination
of this bill will convince any intelligent
person that II would be class IegisIa-
ton and would result in private
profit sharing scheme and would pro-
Guce banks exempt from taxation. As
an OLD banker I would call It q soft
snap for those desiring to engage in
the banking business. President Will
son was right when he refused to en-
dorse Fletcher's bill. The legislative
committee Of the National Grange,
speaking Of the different measures re
garding the matter Of farm credits
says:
"'Of this class are the Moss bill in
the house and the Fletcher bill in the
Sc late. These are distinctly private
pro1t-sharing measures, which, in our
opinion, will do little to aid farm cred !
i, but will build up a new class OF
banks. interfering with the
operation Of the new banking and cur /
rcncy bill and strengthen the hold OF |
the morEy power upon the people. /
These bills are in utter opposition to |
the resolutions passed at the last Ma /
tiona1 Grange netting
4 am in favor of a farm credit bill
that will give relief to the farmers and !
stimulate agriculture. In my opinion !
the Bathrick bill III. r 1880 will
bring the relief so long denied the
farmers.
Il stand heartily in favor Of the
Bathrick measure, and believe that IL I
is far better suited to aid the farm /
ars than the Fletcher bill
Il am opposed to the Fletcher bill.
but heartily in favor Of the Bathrick
bill or any other measure that will I
bring about the desired purpose and
actually assist the farm ers in their
work

for all classes OF the people, and Will Il

Unseen in its approach, hard to de-
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in it's later forms, uric acid
poisoning is disease too often fatal
Bright's disease is one of the final
stages of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills
in our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia- Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure, if discovered early, SO it is well
to know the early signs of kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever, by overwork, or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy. there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and
a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney. or crystallizes into jagged bits
in the muscles, joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
of neuralgia, rheumatism, govt, sciat-
lea, neuritis, lumbago or kidney collie

Here is an Illuminating episode:
A preacher was talking to a critic. The

I thought you didn't like the work

Neither do T. the critic answered
Yet in your review the other day
you declared that Potts last novel was
remarkable for it's purity, that its high
moral tone was a splendid change
from the tainted fiction of the day, and
that you advised the public to turn to
the moral Potts, from the debasing
white slave fiction so much in vogue.
Why, now, my friend, if you dislike

him?'

DRY SCALE COVERED HEAD

MY little daughters head began with
a dry harsh scale covering it. First it
got white scale over the top and
then 1t got a dirty brown scab with
pus under it. Her hair came out in
less than a week and her head itched
and bled. She had no rest. I had her
wear a scarf all the time, It looked so
badly. She was SO sore and had such
big brown scabs on her head that the
teacher would not let her attend
school.
I'VE took and had her treated for
three months with no relief. She kept
getting worse until 1 tried Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. I used the Cuti-
cura Soap every third day and the
Cuticura Ointment at night. In three
weeks her head was well of sores. Two
cakes of Cuticura Soap and one box
of Cuticura Ointment completely cured
her." (Signed) Mrs. Walter Rogers.

CORN CAN BE GROWN
ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES

Manitoba is now commencing to
produce considerable corn, chiefly for
feeding purposes. In some cases,
where the crop can be matured into
the dough stage, silos could be used
and would be a profitable investment.
According to the Farm and Ranch Re
view, a correspondent visited a field
of corn in southern Manitoba on Sep
TENDER g. The corn then was I'M
touched by frost and it stood on an
average eight and nine feet in height.
The corn had developed into the
dough stage, and the crop would easily
exceed 20 tons to the acre. At many
experimental farms, the same favor
able showing of the corn crop has
manifested itself. At the Brandon ex-
perimental farm this year several va
rieties, all very good yielders, matured
into good silo corn.
Considering the success with which
corn can be produced, and the advan-
tages to be gained by SO producing it,
should not it receive the serious at
tention of the western agriculturist?
Corn is successfully grown in the
northern part of Minnesota in SINH
lar soil and under the same climatic
condition, and there does not appear
10 O0 any TodSOH WHY ike results
should not be secured in western Can
ada. 1t is the opinion of many Ameri-
can farmers of experience that the
corn belt is extending northward The
prairie provinces must gradually take
up with mixed farming. More stock
on the farms must be raised, and in
consequence farming must to some
extent be diverted from grain growing
to other necessary crops. If crops
suitable for wintering cattle and espe-
cially dairy stock are to be grown,
why should not corn be one of these
crops? In Ontario and in the United
States we find it forms the main bulky
food for wintering beef and dairy cat
tie. They would not be without this
profitable plant. In fact, since its in
PRODUCTION almost twice as much stock
can be retained on the same amount
of land. besides considering its great
value for keeping the land clean.
Some may say that many crops that
can be grown in Ontario and the
States cannot be grown here, but not
so with corn, even now we find scat
tered fields of corn in Alberta and
Saskatchewan.-Adv
