J Many people in Canada have suffered from rheumatism and kidvey trouble and have found Aunuric to be the most suc- cessful remedy to overcome these painful and dangerous ailments, The lucky people are thoss wko have heeded Nature's warning signal in time to correct their trouble with that new dis covery of Dr, Pierce's called *' Anurie,"' You should promptly Leed these warnings, some of which are dizzy spells, backache, irregularity of the urine or the painful twinges of rheumatism, sciatica or lum. bago, To delay may make possible the dangerous forms of kidney disease, such as diabetes or stone in the bladder. To overcome these distressing eondi- tious you shoulil take planty of exercise in the open air, avoid a heavy meat diet, drink freely of water and at each meal take Dr. Pierca's Anuric Tablets (double strength). You will, in a short time, find that you are one of the firm indorsers of An-u-rie, as are. many! of your neighbors. Seid Dr. V. M. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., or Bridgeburg, Ont., 10¢ for trial pkg.

The present instance is a case in point. The chief press cén- sor has been made the vietim of mis- representation. Nothing could be further from, the truth than to say that the 1.B.8.A. is pro-German- in its sentiments, Pastor Russell gave it as his conviction that if the Ger- midn clergy had taken a united stand against their government's am- bitious policy of world domination, and earnestly advised them and the | people as to the right course, and | warned them as to the consequences | of their premeditated course, the war would never have taken place. But no, the German clergy, with pos- sible exceptions, were guilty of en- couraging and egging on the kaiser { and his military advisers in their fa- > | tal eourse. The clergy of other countries, in ©" | aligning themselves with matters of © | state instead of confining themselves | to spiritual ministrations, have len into the same error and, therefore, | cannot escape the consequences of | their actions. The other charges and inuendoes that the I.B.S.A. have to do with the book on "Mature Suf- frage," ete,; Is the utmost absurdity; and the linking of alleged disloyal effort on the part of any 1.BS.A. ad- herents with any 'of the parties named in the press of this week is done with evident malicious design to injure us as a religious body, Those who have had the most in- timate social relations with us can give the most emphatic denial to such false assertions, The only thing that we can be charged with is the fact that we believe and preach that consecrated Christians should not en- gage in war and bloodshed. Those who have not taken that position re- ligiously have thembelves to please in such matters, Ministers of the gospel as a class, with a few excep- tions, have failed in their duty in this respect and we have forcibly and clearly reminded of the fact; hence their chagrin. The gospel of the Bible is called the sword of the spirit, it is double- edged and cuts both ways; it is no respector of persons; points out the faults of the high fs well as the low. Righteousness exalteth a na- tion, but "sin is a reproach to any people.

LITTLE CRITICISM; MUCH MORE PRAISE Debate on Budget in Legisia- ture Marked by Good Spirit Shown. ------ % Toronto, Feb. 16.--Probably for the first time in the history of the Ontario Legislature the debate an the budget closed after a minimum of criticism and a maximum of praise from the opposition. With the agree- ment made by the premier and lead- ar of the opposition that the life of the legislature be extended until af- ter the war came the tacit under- standing that party strife would cease, so that, as one of the Liberal members remarked, 'the house had resolved itself into a love feast." After hearing many speakers on both sides Hon, T. W., McGarry clos- ed the debate Thursday night, and moved thé house into committee of supply at' 10.15, expressing his appreciation of the spirit in all the addresses. A feature of this session was the suggestion made by L. P. Wigle, South Essex, that young men in the cities be compelled to help on the farms suring the coming season; and a suggestion from H. Hartley Dewart that a provineclal smelter be established where miners could have nickel treated, thus promoting the mining industry among other than capitalists, Mr, Dewart also recom- mended that a controller be appoint- ed with power to secure statements covering the past three years from al wir profiteers, and with power to levy taxes accordingly. they commerc Ligious, seek | ers, STRANGERS THOU GH "0 NEAR.
