YEAR 85. NO, 288 WAS AWARDED DAMACES FAISE ARREST PRISONMENT. ror AND IM- A Case at the County Court om Tuesday Aftérnoon---A Lad Who Had Trouble With an Employer, rr A jury in the county court, pre- sided over by Judge Lavell, on Tues- Gay afternoon, awarded William Al- bertson, aged sixteen years, and son of I. A. Albertson, $256 damages againgt Willlam William Bradford for false arrest and imprisonment. The court also imposed the costs of the court on Bradford, The case arose out of the arrest of Albertson last spring on a charge of theft. He was acquitted by Magistrate FarreN. Bradford faii- ed to appear when a writ of sum- mons 'was issued, and this made him liable. He was not represented by counsel. The lad was engaged to deliver some - vegetables for Bradford, and the latter claimed that he did not make the correct returns, but the evidence showed that the boy got mixed up in his deliveries owing to the faet that HK could not read the name and addresses in a book hand- ed to him by Bradford. The latter had a warrant issued for the boy's arrest and he spent a couple of hours in the police cells. Bradford played the part of the Good Samara- tan and put up dail for the accused to appear before the magistrate, and in a statement to the court stat- #d that he did not want the boy ar- vested, but simply took this means to get the boy and have the case settled satisfactory to him. It was shown that the boy, in addition to suffering the humilfation of being arrested, was called upon to pay $5 for lawyer's fees, to fight the charge in the police eourt Plaintitr held that his réputyiion had bden in- Jured. © MR, Webster conducted the case for the plaintiff. There are still several other cases to come before the court, but only the one case was heard. Court ad- Journgd till Thursday morning at 9.30 o'clock. ---- p------------ ODESSA IS VISITED By Ptes.

DOCTOR SAID ABSCESS, Mr. Gleason R Young, Kingsecroft, N.B., under date of Feb. 9th. 1918 writes us 'as follows: --**About five months ago, 4 lamp came on my Jaw bone, 1 thought it was a boil, and after it had been there quite a while it began to get larger. 1 went to a doctor and he said it was an abscess, and lanced it. He gave me a wash for it, so T went by his directions until it healed up, but it commenced coming again, and in about three weeks it broke fiself. 1 thought it would get better, but it didn't. A neighbor advised me to get a bottle of Burdock Blood Bitters, so I sent and got a bottle, and by the time it was all gone, the abscess had disa- ppeared, and now it is all better." Burdock Blood Bitters will heal and dry up sores, ulcers, and absces- Ses, no matter how large or of how long standing.' If you have never ap- plied it to a cut, wound, sore or ul- cer, just try it and see what sooth- ing, healing, cleansing power it pos- sesses. It takes out itching, stinging and burning, and promotes the growth of healthy flesh. So, too, when taken internally, by itesgower of eliminating all impurities from the blood and making that vital fluid rich, red and pure, it cuts off the origin and source of the foul mat- ter that goes to make boils, pimples, sores, ulcers, abscesses and the like, and at the same time the purified and enriched blood creates healthy] tissue where there was formerly, per- haps a sore full 'of pus.

Ottawa; Dee. 10 --Sir Thomas White, Minister of Pinance, has made | the following statement: The war | savings stamp campaign thas three' very important objects in view; to raise money to assist in meeting the containing heavy obligations the war durirng the period of demobiliza- tion, to stimulate individual habits of thrift and benefit a. large body of small investors. With some years of prosperity Canada has become largely a mation of spenders and has lost sight of the old-fashioned virtue of i saving. In order to reduce the debt of nearly two billion dollars, whitch 'we shall have at the end of demobiliz- ation, we shall have to greatly m- ¢réase both our national production and our national savings. After the Franco-Prussian war Germany exacted an indemnity of $1,- 000,000,000 from France, which was paid in a fi years mainly out of the savings of the French peasantry. Af- ter the war, France had a marvel- ous recovery, due largely to the thrift of her people. It cannot be made too plain that the liguidation of our war debt will depend" apon the ability of our people to produce and save. Another object: of war savings | stamps is to benefit the person who | saves. The purchaser pays four dol- | lars mow amd he gets five dollars in| four years. [tis a very simple and a | very profitable investment. The Gov- { ernment hopes to raise at least $50,-! 000,000 during 1919 from the sale of | war savings stamps. This is only $6 per head of populatién. [ "INVENTION," SAYS OTTAWA MINISTER Denies the Despatch Telling of | the Disunion in the | Cabinet.

' C. IC. iBallantyne's answer +o the | Gazette when asked as to the cor- | reciness of the Ottawa despatch in question, The minister of marine went on to say that never since the. Union Government was first formed had there been a shadow of dissension Amongst the 'members, and all' talk of one man getting out ar another one resigning is absolutely without foundation. The members of the cabinet, sald the minister, were as cone man in working out the pro- blems of the war, and they would work together as one man in pro- viding a satisfactory solution to the questions of peace which were quite as important: Hon. Mr. Ballantyne sald that there was no question of a general election and, in facet, the matter had never been discussed or thought 'about. : ------------t tei Broke Ur Boys' Cabin.
