It is estimated by the city engineer that a thousand cords can be obtained in this manner." Ald. Chown moved, seconded by Ald. Corbett, that new trees be planted in place of those cut down. Ald. O'Connor said he would have to oppose this amendment, because he was convinced that on a great nny streets there wéié" too many trees which were a detriment both to health and property, and it would be inadvisable to replace them. The motion of Ald. Chown would come in better later in the season when it {would be seen what trees should be replaced Ald. Kent remarked that good judgment had to 'be mused in taking trees out. All were agreed that on some streets there were too many trees, but on others there were too fow In a good many cases there could he replanting. + The trouble was that trees were planted too close together in past years Ald.

Tired All The Time It is nataral fo to feel tired some- times, whén you have worked or ex- ercised sufficiently to cause a health- ful feeling of fatigue. iBut you ghould be refreshed by rest. A tired feeling after a night's sleep is abnor- mal. It means that you are an- demic--that your blood is thin and watery. It means that you need a tonic to build you up and fortify your system against such a condition. If you do not take prompt steps to fmprove the blood you are inviting disease, because poor blood means that your power of résistance is low- éred. Thin blood is largely the suf- ferér"s own fault. It results from neglect, because the blood can be built up. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills supply the elements that the blood néeds to make it rich and red and to enable it to carry more oxygen. That is why these pills change weak men and women into robust, healthy people. There is no spot in this great country whére you will not find some former Sufferer who has been restor- ed to the blessing of good health through the nse of Dr. Williams" Pink Pills, If you are feeling at all out of sorts do not further neglect yourself, a fair treatment with these pills will givé yon new. strength to meet lifé's duties.

Would Rather be One Than an M.P. in England. Montreal, Feb. 19.--James Simp- sou, Toronto, viee-president of 2 Trades Congress of Canada, aroun a large audience in the Monument Nationale here this afternoon to en- thusiastic cheers by unstinted praise of Trotzky and Lenine of Russia, and admiration for the Bolsheviki Government. Referring to the na- tionalization of the banking institu- tion of Russia and the Government control of factories, Mr. Simpson said: "I tell you 1 would rather be a member of the Bolsheviki Govern: ment doing that than be a member of the British House of Commons, permitting their lords and earls and while. their people, mothers und daughters are standing in queues a quarter of a mile long waiting to get a quarter of a pound of butter, a bit of sugar and a little tea." .

Man With Her KEscaped---Hushand Left for Toronto--Couple Regis. tered Under an Assumed Name. Detroit, Feb. 19. --Strangled by a man who accompanied her to a room at midnight, and who was heard to leave less than a hour afterwards, the body of beautiful Daisy Cates, {27 years old, was [ound in a lode- ing house at 143 Fort street west. Deep marks of a man's fingers on the girl's throat, where nails had cut into the flesh, Hore mute evidence to the manner in which she had been slain. The corner of a pillow slip eram- med into her mouth acted as a gag and apparently prevented any out- ery, for occupants of adjacent rooms declare they heard no sound during the time that the girl's companion was with her. Tightly knotted around her neck indicating that the into unconsciousness,' desired to make sure she - should not revive. The body lay face downward on the bed with the head completely cover- ed by three pillows piled one on top of the other. The man who brought the girl to the lodging 'house registered for her and himself as "James Morgan and wife." He is described as being about 25 years old, five feet six or seven inches in height,» smooth shaven and well dressed. The young woman was identified by Mrs. J. H. Thomas, 52 West Grand River avenue, whom she had visited a few hours before she was killed. Mrs. Thomas says the Gates girl told her that her husband, Charles ates, planned to take a train for Toronto that night, where his mother, a Mrs. Dolphman, lives at 117 Beatrice street. The police have communicated with the Toronto authorities in an effort to learn whether QGates reached there and to find out what light he can throw on the tragedy. Two valuable diamond rings worn! by «the girl when she called on Mrs. Thomas were missing when her body was discovered. Mrs. Thomas also says her visitor had about $50 with her. All the money found in the room in which he was murdered was six $1 bills. In addition to Gates the police are trying to learn the identity of another man, beliéved to have been intimate with the slain girl The Russian Soldiers, The Russian peasant are not radl- cally altered when they put on a uni- form. They learned, after long gen- erations, to accept the duty of mill- tary service; they learned to"die for the Czar," and to fight hard, suffer heroically, and dfe like men, in obedi- ence to that loyalty. It was the one thing that lifted thé above the mud bf their fields and made thém as good soldiers in their slow way as any in the world. Bul, when you Broke the main- spring of their loyalty and obedience, when you took from them their fine impulse of devotion, when instead of loyalty you offered them self-seek- ing and self-inferest--and this is in élfect what the revolation has done then gelf-interest and welf-preserva- tion began to work. When, in the ald 'days, you told the peasant sol- dier to die for the Czar, he went for ward and died like a man. But now, when the spark of loyalty has been snuffed out, when every impulse of gelfishness in him has been appealed to, you tell him to go forward and die "for the people,' he has logic enough in him to say: "Very well, but I am the. people! 1 will begin by saving my own skin!" What he really wants is, to go home to his village. Democracy means no more to him than trigonometry. He does not want to govern himself; he wants to go Bome to his fields among the pine trees. He thinks of the revolution as dimply the opportunity to go home to his land; perhaps also the oppor- tunity to get more land, which at present belongs to bis neighbors. It is said, on good evidence, that fore than one "strategic retreat" of the Russians on-the front was started fn this way: The German aviators dropped papers saying, 'They are dividing up the lands back home; go, quick, or you will get none!" And they went quick, thinking of nothing éise, caring tor Sothing else In the world. i Free Trade In Germany.
