QUEBEC FROWNS _ |Amelia Earhart | _ | ON LOTiERIES _ Conauers Pacific â€" Quebec. â€" A warning that I0%â€" teries are just as much against the law in Quebec as in other parts of Canada and a plea to citizens to reâ€" frain from encouraging their operaâ€" tion was made here recently by Preâ€" mier L. A. Taschereau. Hundreds of letters from all parts of the world, had come to his office asking if certain sweepstakes. were honest, Mr. Tasrhereau said, and the province was receiving unfavorable publicity. because the headquarters of the schemes were frequently.said to be in Quebec. "It is my duty, as attorneyâ€"genâ€"| eral of the province, to see the Iaw) governing lotteries is enforced to| tue best extent possible," he dcclare(l,l "and I have every intention of seeâ€" in that this is dene. "I4 is not a question as to whether | the law is a good or‘a bad one, but‘ the point is that lotteries are not| permitted by law throughout Canâ€" ada and all those participating in‘ one, if found guilly of infringing‘ the law, are liable to a maximuml peualty of $2,000 or â€"a twoâ€"year te.ir, or both."

Mysterious Malady Outbreaks of a mysterious discease which turns babies pink in patches on the hands, mouth, and feet, are being reported from several parts of Britain. Although the disease is normally very rare, several cases are being treated in Sheffield, and a further two cases are reported from one London hospital. The disease is known under variâ€" ous names, but the most common is "‘pink disease." The victims are nearly all babies of about 18 months. Babies who contract the discase ‘gradually become lethargic, and lose the use of their limbs. After they have been suffering from an attack for a month or two, they become peculiarly susceptible to attack by other illneses. There is no specific cure for the disease. \ Orillia.â€"In an effort to stimulate interest in better literature, Miss F. E. F.

Big Econox_nic_ Plax_m_ FIVE CENT FARE FOR HAMLTON HUamilton. â€"« The management of the Hamilton Street Railway and the Board of Control decided to eut car fares from seven cents to five cents for an indefinite trial period. * Had Been Seven â€" 1 Trial Period Until recently, the streets have been thronged with hundreds of cruising taxis, many of which chargâ€" ed less than the legal minimum fare, and were operating in contravention of the exclusive franchise granted the railway by a public vote some years ago. Prosecutions were carried on for more than a year, and when the new year arrived the police comâ€" mission refused to grant a license to any person who had been convicâ€" ted of breaking the taxi bylaw. The result was the streets were swept clear of the cruising cars. Hon. T. B. McQuesten, member of the Hydro Commission which opâ€" erates the railway, stated the comâ€" mission was prepared now to do evâ€" erything in its power to improve the service. 4 A conference was held between G. E. Waller, general manager of the railway and the Board of Conâ€" trol at which it was agreed to reâ€" commend to the city council the railway be permitted to charge five cents per passenger for an indefinite period, to be terminated by seven days‘ notice by either party. It is expected the city council will endorse the recommendation without opposition. Demand For Help Montreal. «â€"â€" More Montreal women are doing their own houseâ€" work nowadays, it would seem from a statement made by Miss Isabel Garrick, superintendent of the Monâ€" treal Day Nursery, in a recent niâ€" terview. During the past six years, Miss Garrick said, the number of requests for household workers received in a 12â€"month period had fallen from 1,â€" 100 to 167. Many of the mothers whose children were cared for at the rursefy received only a few hours work each week and there was great difficulty of maintaining the standâ€" ard wage of $2 a day.

Nearing 11 o‘clock, he started for home. His comrade bade him farewell. That was the last my friend saw of Captain Perâ€" ry alive. The murderer lurked in the back porch of the Perry residence.
