THAT doubtless owing to the fact that it is leap year, very few engagements have been an- nounced since January 1- THAT a contemptible contem- porary tries to be funny by re- marking “Pity the poor editor.” THAT there is no other kind of editor except a poor one, so far as I have been able toe discover. THAT of the eleven million women Wage earners in the United States it is said that not one is working for her husband. The reason given is that ‘the brutes won't pay.” THAT a Winnipeg lady sued for peach of promise of marriage, claiming $10,000 but the judge decided the interference to her matrimonial projects was worth only $850, and gave judgment ac- cordingly. THAT it is not often now that men are sued for breach of promise, THAT man is not valued as highly as he used to be, especial- ly since woman has learned to earn her own living.

When the ‘flu epidemic swept the coun- try last year it was La gg eh J agreed by medical men that there would be a re- currence of the attack this winter. So far it has not swept with the violence of last vear but there is hardly any large com- munity in which it is not present to some degree. in view of the ever present danger of the disease breaking out health authorities are everywhere advising the public to observe extraordinary precautions. One of their first advices is to treat all cases of colds a8 dangerous, the conditions in such eases being similar to those in the first Stages of ‘fu. For the treatment of colds there is no precaution equal to Grip Fix, which may be secured at any drug store, It is not a patent medicine but a treatment which would be approved by your family physi- cian. The drugs it contains are stated on every box and cover just the drugs needed in such cases. Grip Fix is not a new preparation as it has been in use for man) years, doing wonderful work during las! year’s “flu. epidemic. It comes in con- venient capsule form and when buying }; be sure to get Reid’s Grip Fix as there ti nothing “just as good.” It selis for 35 ents per box and ts worth its price ove! ind over when a cold appears.

Bosktanets who has just returned from a trip of investigation in the East on| behalf of the British Cotton | Growers’ Association. “The re-| suits. obtained in experimental i farms already established in Bag- | dad, Mesopotamia, and in the) riara region of the Eastern} “sudan have shown a yield of| more than double that in Egypt and three times as much as that | in Amenica.” NO EMBARG ON SECURITIES C.mplicated Financial Condition Follows Raising of Ex- change Rates. OTTAWA, Feb. 28.—The ques- tion of embargoing the import of securities has got no further than a suggestion emanating in par- ticular from the bond people. No action has been taken by the Government and Sir Henry Dray- ton, minister of finance, wili not say whether any is in contempla- tion. Canada, he pointed out, has always protected the investor. Canada held overseas amounts to . very large sum, conservatively timated at $1,250,000,000. These securities of railway, muni- »pal and government issues of »’e-war days were purchased by the ovetseas investors, many of them at low a rate as four yer cent. These securities are be- returned in order that the profits, which the rate of ex- change today yields, may be se cured. Many of them are railway s-curilies guaranteed either by the provinces or the Dominion. They would yield 6.10 per cent. It is obviously impossible to con- tinue bond stabilization at par on securities yielding only 5% per cent when a like obligation, name- ly the credit of the Dominion, can be purchased at a rate to yield 6.10. Proper financing by the prov- inces also becomes impossible. Railway securities guaranteed by different provinces have in a like manner been sold out at rates yielding from 6% to 6% per cent. as Ing RECITAL TOMORROW METHODIST CHURCH Good Program of Vocal and instrumental Music Is Prepared.

The property will be under the management of a mining engi- neer who has made good in other properties, if he can be secured.
