WOMAN SAID

Mrs. Margaret Bonniere OF Murray street,
St. John, n. B., writes: Il heard lady say
ing she bought a bottle of DIR. Trues Elixir
for her children, and it was splendid. / got a
bottle and ] think il is great"
The laxative mentioned above is DR.. Trues
Elixir, the Family Laxative and Worm Elk
peller. IL is very pleasant to take; children
like it, and il is mild in action. No harmful
drugs.
It's surprising to know the number OF young
SterS and even growu-ups who suffer from
worms but don't realize it. Every one needs
a good laxative.

TUESDAY MARCH 30, 1921
THE NAVAL HOLIDAY.

The British government has lowered
its naval estimate for next year, while
that of the United States has been raised
by the senate committee on naval affairs.
Britain expects to spend S412, 100000 on
her navy If the senate estimate is main
tanned, the United States will spend
S496. 100000 Britain is giving up its es-
tablished policy of a navy equal to the
combined navies of the next two powers.
Big-navy advocates at Washington want
to take up this policy as Britain drops
it. building and supporting a navy equal
to the combined sea strength of Britain
and Japan. Britain is keeping fewer
dreadnaughts in commission, than she has
for many years past. Obviously She
neither intends aggression nor fears it.
The "one- power standard" may be all
right for this country. 1t would at least
be conducive to American self-respect to
have a navy as strong as that of the
present mistress of the seas. That goal
can be easily attained if Britain slows up
her building program and waits for
America to catch up. The main thing
is to stop competitive building. There are
hints that Britain will welcome such Il
policy 1t might afford convenient
compromise on the part of the big navy
and little navy people, if the building
would stop when that immediate end was
attained. Further competition would be
intolerable, morally or financially.
As for Japan, her navy need not be
feared if the United States is shrewd
enough to develop the proper relations
with England so that there will be no
danger of that country siding with Japan
in case of war British statesmen lately
have been frankly inviting such an under
standing. With America and Britain
equal in naval power, respecting but not
fearing each other, and between them cap
able of policing the seas of all the world
the way would be prepared for all ma
tions to take naval holiday.

URGE DEVELOPMENT
 OF NIAGARA FALLS
Water Power, on a Gigantic
 Plan, as a National Asset

Washington, Feb. 1S.- Develop ment of Niagara Falls water power as a National asset on a gigantic plan that would assign all water power privileges to one individual or corporation, thus eliminating grants to various smaller interests, is urged in various recomm endations now be- fore the Federal Power commission.
 Although agreeing generally that a comprehensive system of develop ment should be adopted, the recom- mendations vary greatly as to the nature of the development. In ap- proving any grants, the members of the present commission, Secretaries Baker Payne and Meredith, are i'm clined to anticipate development of methods in the near future that will permit the transporting economical ly of power to points 500 miles or more from the Falls.
 Experts have told the commission that the Single assignment" plan should include assignment of water power privileges below the falls as we'll as those above. Plans to com bine the several hundred thousand horse power taken from the Gorge with the millions taken from above the falls into one project were pre- scented. These plans range from tunneling under Goat Island, which hangs on the precipice between the American and Canadian Falls to digging a power and ship canal from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Pro- ponents of some of the proposed projects claim that the government could tex such development half mill lion year and still give users cheap CT power than they now enjoy, and leave a profit Sor the corporation on the investment. Secretary Baker chairman of the commission has an- nounced that no privileges anti Cipating future amendments to the existing water diversion treaty with Canada will be considered by the present commission, Eperts have told the commission that 13, 900 cubic feet additional to the 10000 now Gi- verted on the American side could be taken from Niagara river without marring the scenic beauty of the falls.

 At least 10000 Chinese Christians are among the famine sufferers the Rev. Lyman L. Hale. reported in a letter. In many cases, he said, whole church memberships have been hope lessly scattered.
 Officials of the missionary board fear that the famine will greatly re- tard the work of missionaries in some areas where they have gained foothold only by years of effort.

OLD DSEALL0ST
 MANY YEARSS
 SEARCHED FOR

TACOMA, June 8 (by Associated Press) An official search hes been started by Secretary of State Grant Hinkle of Washington for the old ter ritorial seal of Washington which was made in 1853 and disappeared in 1863 If found the seal will be placed in a public museum.
 Pioneer residents of the state are to be interviewed by officials of the secretary of states office in an effort to get trace of the seal.
 Stories handed down at the capitol at Olympia say the seal vanished when secretary of the territory was removed from office and it was thought he made away with it in anger over his removal An improvised territorial seal was made by a blacksmith and it was used until statehood came in 1889.
 The old territorial seal was made of bronze and showed an Indian maid en standing on hill overlooking Pugets Sound and seeing in the dis tance mirage depitching the future growth of the territory. Across the top was the word "Alki,' an Indian word meaning After while"
