GREW, APH tT rv e<for an increase in the sessional indem- nity of members of parliament is go- it this year. Any increase to mem- bers would, of course apply to sena- tors inasmuch as each is a vital { branch of parliament. The argument advanced is not new. It was emphasized |last year, but that extra session in the fall, groviding an extra indemnity, helped out and | forestalled any drastic develop ments. This year the contention is renewed fhat the cost of living at .| Ottawa, and the expense to which members are put, merits a raise, and, instead of $2,500 as now, $4,000 per session is the objective. Many would be content with a raise of $1,000. An increased indemnity, it is learned, is not in the government's plans, and if one is granted it will indicate & change in present intentions. One point emphasized is that the session- | al allowance is not a salary, but an | indemnity, in that members of par- | liament are not supposed to derive | their income from that source alone. | A stronger reason' which is invoked, i is that in a year when financial con- | siderations cause so many refusals of {| demands, public works, soldiers' bo- ot | nuses, and other matters, it would | be the part of inconsistency for | members to vote to raise their own ' Daffodils Just Arrived From Holland ay. | The estimate providing for a cost { of liying bonus to civil servants was strongly opposed the other day, and this is a further suggestion of the in- | consistency of applying the same | thing tosmembers of parliament.

Thus | aleohol has recently been made tabu | in this country; and enthusiastic re- | formers are anxious to have tobacco | put on the same list. The primitive natives of Polynesia {have 'tabu days," when nobody is |allowed to indulge in amusements, They correspond to our old-fashioned Sundays. On other tabu days meat must not be eaten. On some island groups of the South | Seas the bodies of chiefs and priests | are tabu -- meaning that nobody is allowed to touch them. At certain periods the chiefs cannot themselves touch food with their fingers, and must eat like dogs unless fed by others. A chief may impose the tabu upon other persons or things, or may re- move it. He may declare his own head to be tabu, in which case he must not himself touch it. If a drop of his blood falls upon anything the object becomes tabu. i The first potato dug is tabu; no- body may eat it. But almost any kind of tabu may be removed by the pro- per authority, with the right sort of | ceremony --- such, for instance, as throwing leaves into the air and jumping after them. - An Arid Climate.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney reg- fon it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which éverworks the kid- neys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they becbme sort of | paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you | must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have back- ache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and' when the weather is bad you haye rheumatic twinges. The urine ig cloudy, full of sedimant, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good. reliable phy- sician at once or get from your phar- macist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fing. This famous salts is made from tbo acid of grapes and lemon juice, ¢ombined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der weakness. : Jad Salts is a life sayer for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, can- not injure and makes a delightful, ef- fervescent lithia-water drink. 51500 $1500 Stewart Phonograph WILL SURPRISE YOU, \ COME IN AND HEAR IT: A. G.
