THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG old WEN THEE aE 1 WHITE WHEAT WHISKEY, Our prohibition friends may be shocked to read an editorial on be- half"of white wheat whiskey, but the apology for its appearance is because this particular kind of whiskey has wrought great good in the cure of disease. The Ontario government has dispensaries where liquor is sup- rosed to be vended only for medi- cinal purposes, and yet the whiskey of the greatest medicinal power is not fo be hed In the government's stores. It is up to the Drury govern- ment and its license board to explain this omission. JVhite wheat whiskey is declared by specialists to be a cure for bronchitis--not by imbibing it but through rubbing it into the neck and chest. There are known cures of bad oases in Kingeton from this treatment. Why does the govera- ment not have this liquor on sale when the people with doctor's pre- scriptions ask for it? If it is not be ing made in Ontario just now, the license board should arrange for its manufacture and Shave it placed where those entitled to it can get the regulation supply. ------ COFFEE GOOD FOR US. A year ago, medical scientists ex- ploded the old theory that it was in the interests of health not to eat 'imeat. It was shown that the human body, in northern countries at least, required a mixed diet, including beef, bacon and vegetables and fruit, and that people who used a diet of this kind were healtiest and strongest. Now, the New York Medical Journal has come to the succor of that much- abused but greatly enjoyed drink-- coffee. It declares that coffee drunk in moderation does not produce nerv- cus ailments and the removal of cof- TAXING DOCTORS' FEES. The suggestion by Kingston's member in the legisiature that an official might be appointel to tax doctors' fees, as has loag been done in the case of lawyers, has aroused unfavorable press comment. The surgeon is-the man who would gen- erally be called to account, for the feos of the physician are not so high. However, the scale of the Kingston Medical Society shows very modest fees. When a man has' been saved from death by a skilful operation performed by a epecialist, there is never any complaint about the sur- geon's fee, which is paid willingly, even if in instalments. One hundred dollars is the usual fee in Kingston for an appendicitis operation, and if the surgeon secures for the patient a quick recovery, when death was Perhaps just a few hours off befor the knife was used, one hundred dol- lars will be found for the surgeon instead of an appeal being made to 2 government taxing officer. There are doctors who get great fees, just as there are lawyers who charge enormous sums on their mame and reputation rather than for their work. Of coumse, the big medical fees could never be collected legally, but they are never disputed by those rolling in wealth. On behalf of the doctor it must be sald that the most eminent members of the profession will attend a poor man without chance of recompense more readily than will the eminent lawyer offer his services gratis to a down-and-out. ' Even the member for Kingston might admit that a man cal profession than of the legal pro- fession. The general public will hardly applaud the suggestion that is safer in the clutches of the medi- | MONTE CARLO. | Keports from Monte Carlo. say! that wae new ruler of the uny litte eigat-mile-square principality on tue €uge of the Mediterranean 18 going to abolish gambling and close tu. palace of chance wherein thousands have tempted fortune, Prince Louis be is said, is paruy Scotch, his fa- ther having in 1896 married Laay Mary Dougias Hamilton, daughter of the 11th vuke of Hamion.

It was used for rubber shoes, bands, erasers and a few other things. Then came the invention of the pneumatic tire to make bicycle riding more pleasant. With the advent of the automobile, rubber became just as important as the wheat which makes our bread. The manufacture of tires is one of the world's greatest industries, and when we speak the name of Henry Ford we think of the rubber industry for a "tin Lizzie" is as incomplete with its rubber tires as it would be without its engine. Anyway we will have a little more respect for milk- weed, but we will hope that Henry Ford's chemists will not make the discovery that ragweed is also of ma- terial use in commerce, and have its growth made any more extensive than it is now. If they did, thers would be great lamentation among the hay fover sufferers. "a JOY OF WORK.

Berion, M.D, Do You Have to Clear Your Throat Often ? . 'Many people, much to their em-. barrasement, find it wecessary to clear their throat very frequently. What is the cause of this? Well, perhaps you did not know that at the back of the nose there are two openings into the throat just like the two opemings--the nostrils ~in front. You know how a slight irritation of the nose makes the moisture come from the two front openings. Similarly any irritation at the back of the nose causes an excess of secretions at the two back openings. For instance, the septum--that is the wall between your nostrils--gets bent over to one side. It grows that way naturally or may be knocked over by a blow. Often the fining of the nose gets irritated .further up and the normal secretion of the nose is altered. Sometimes the secretion is very profuse and you have to expectorate very frequently. At other times it seams to dry up into hard deposits and you have considerable difficulty in getting rid of it. These conditions are called oa- tarrh in the text books and are the bane of the existence of many peo- ple. Can this condition be cured ? I am unable to answer that ques- tion, but I do know that you can se. cure great relief in a very simple way.
