 This sanguinc prophecy was made lby Dundee's newly y-elected dry cham pion soon after his maiden speech in the House of Commons, not in the tones of a dreamer flushed with his first burst of victory. but in the cool, deliberate manner of q man who thoroughly believes he knows the workings of practical politics

His rather large though we'll formed lips bespeak his kind man ner, although there is a definite sug- gestion of firmness in the long. dropping gray moustache which coy- CTS his upper Lip. Earnest unpre- tentiousness is perhaps the outstand- ing description of his general ap- pearance. Clad in an ordinary un. creased Scotch tweed business suit, with a large watch chain stretched across his breast. from which a we'll worn crucifix is suspended, Mir. Scrymgeour at once gives the i'm pression that ostentation is certain ly one characteristic entirely alien to his nature.

TALKING MADE EASY

Mrs. F. W. Dewitt was made lit
tie happier last week by the installa-
tion of telephone by the side of her
chair in which she sits each day, Grip
pied with arthrites. 1t has been hard
for Mrs. Dewitt to use phone as it
was too heavy for her to hold and
was very unhandy for her.
This difficulty has been overcome,
however, in the new phone which con-
sists of an ear piece and a mouthpiece
fastened on a board at her right side
at just the correct angle so that Mrs.
Dewitt scarcely has to move out of
her regular position to use the phone
and communicate with people. To

the ring is made she merely pulls a
