They tell us that she can carry on the way she is. Will these same gentlemen advise us how long amny doctor will carry on where he canâ€" not collect his fee? Why not allow this lady to charge a fee, limited, if you will, in order that she may carty on her work. As to providing a proof that she has a cure, she has, to my personal knowâ€" ledage, provided and produced her proof by the presence of men who had been given up by the doctors and sent home to die, and who are now in good health and performing their daily occupations. The doctors gave me a death sentence, and Miss Caisse‘s treatment revoked that sentence, and I am still very much alive and thiere is still no sign of a return of the trouble of two years ago. peared to be missing. ‘The police found the door of his cabin securely fastened, and when they broke in they found the man‘s clothing and other belongings in a heap near the door with spruce bed, furniture, and his gun smashed in the heap. The door was partly jammed with a handsleigh, the runners of which acted as a wedge. The finding of clothâ€" inz and especialy underwear in the house suggested that Mathot had been mentally ill and had apparently gone out naked in the snow and cold. Th2 finding of the body appeared to supâ€" port this theory. On account of the depth of snow and other conditions search for the body had to be abandonâ€" ied, but the recent thaw made it posâ€" sible to resum the ssarch, one group of searchers finding the body as noted above. The provincial police took the body to Cochrane and are making a thorough investigation of the matter of Mathot‘s death to establish all the facts that may be lsarned in the case.

I congratulate Mr. Kelly, M.P.P., for the firm stand he has taken in favour oi Miss Caisse‘s treatment, and also Dr. Armstrong, M.P.P., for the support he has given Mr. Kelly. Mr. Kuyzlly personally knows of my case and thereâ€" fore I presume he has no qualms in expressing himself as to the effects of her trsatment. I am only one of the very large number of her patients who have been cured. We are not worrying about the return of the trouble five or ten years from now. Dead Body of Settler Found Naked in the Snow sesn to it that Miss Caissoe is allowed to carry on her clinic without open interférence, the Medical Council of Ontario has not apparently altered its attitude towards her. The letter in The Tslegram is as follows:â€" Sir.â€"Having read the report of the committee in regard to the private bill of Miss Caisse in connection with her cancer cure, I note that my name has again been mentioned as having been one of her patients, and for that reaâ€" son therefore I would like to make a few short comments. Last week a group of settlers in the Gardiner section some seventeen miles north of Cochrane found the dead body of John Mathot, 48â€"yearâ€"old settler in the dense bush, the man kneeling nakâ€" ed‘ in the snow with a bible clutched in his hands.

A sure sign of spring:â€"A young genâ€" tleman was standing in front of a loâ€" cal jewellery store, industriously tickâ€" ing off on his fingers the amounts he had to pay out of his salary. Finally he gasped, half to himsel{, and half to the jeweller‘s window, "Why, that will mean only ten dollars left to deâ€" posit on the ring!" And he looked so sad! But, if this younz man should find out that someone overheard his remarks, he might take consolation from the fact that many another gtntlaman would be glad to have even a dollar to deposit on "the ring." A local offics worker the other day said: "I hate to sit down, because when I‘m nicely comfortable, I hate to get up, if semeone comes into the office," and her friend replied, "Yes, and you hate to stand up when you think that you could sit down." All in all, that is a lot of hatz. \‘The Amplifier Scmeone asked the other day, ‘"What is th:> purpose of ‘The Amplifier " and not having meditated upon the subâ€" ject, the answer was not readily forthâ€" ccming. However, it seemed best to say, "It‘s to make IT louder!"‘ And, what, you ask, is IT? Well, IT is that icclish thing you did and thought unâ€" and IT is "a slam" about a disagreable matter. Then, too, IT may be a passing thought, that dropped in at the wrong brain, or just a few words that were unwittingly written. A. F.

Possibly a mors advantageous season eculd not be chosen, to show in picture form, the work that has been taken diuring the previous torm, and during the time from the Christmas holidays to FEaster, when the children become restless. Having this view in mind, Mr. J. L. Harkness, principal of the public school, decided to import these slides, thereby interssting the scholars, and at the same time accomplishing something that would beneficial to their studies, Some four hundred slides in all were shown, and included pictures of across Canada, Woest Indits cruise, Mediterâ€" ranean cruise, the Rocky Mountains and Alaska, a special set showing a trip through the Maritimes, and two sets of "Agricultural Developments." The pictures which are being shown as preâ€" sent are on a trip through England. Mr. and Mrs. Kenning will be at heme after April 15th at "The Silver Birches" Winoaona, Ont. Showing the real beauty spots of the world, it greatly assists the pupils in learning their geography, which at the same tim> they are enjoying. It is a known fact that one picture is worth a thousand words, and undoubtedly as t‘he children see these btbautiful scenes, it instills permanently in their minds views about which they jlearn. It also brings to their attontion the vastness of the world, and the many wonders that otherwise could not be taught.

Mrs. Lereoux is a woman of sixty years of age, and she and her husband, Alsert Leroux, have been settlers in Hudson township dfor some little time. It is not known as to just what happened to cause serious burning 6¢f Mrs. Leroux. Perhaps a spark from the stove ignited the stovepipe polish being used. In any event, Mrs. Leroux‘s clothing s:ecm:d to break suddenly into fiames and the fact that the clothes were literally burned on her gives an idea of the severe burns the woman sufâ€" fered.
