DAILY EDITION. Post Office Surplus Not Legitimate. A despatch from Ottawa tells that the post oflice department shows a surplus for the year of something like two and a quarter The figures lock well, but they do not represent The money is wrung from a lot of sweated million dollars. a legitimate profit. employees that are woefully underpaid, Possibly the worst cases of sweating are found in the big cities where the letter carriers work for a miserable pittance. Even in this city the postal clerks and other employees have, in many cases not been paid enough to live on. Not only that but here and elsewhere there is no real desire to serve the public, as often the number of sorters has been altogether too few. The resull is that the public have to wait. The staff do the best they possibly can under the circumstances, but they have been unable to cope with the work. Still they go on without complaining and take the abuse of the disgruntled public without a murmur. The Postmaster General likes to make a good showing, naturally, but it does not look well to show a profit of over two million dollars from a starved service. Every man and woman should give a good day’s service for a day’s pay, but he should not be asked to work in the public for far less than is being paid by private employers. service Election Talk But Nothing Certain. There is talk of Dominion and Provincial elections. Many think the Dominion Government cannot hold together much longer, but a government supporter told the opposition on Wed- nesday that they need not expect an election until after the census had been taken next year. In the provincial field there is no certainty. There is demand throughout the country for an immediate election and it is not at all unlikely that it will be held after the session next year. There was a rumor to the effect that an election would be held this fall but it is wholly without any foundation except that it is known that an election must be held before very long and the autumn is a customary time for such events. Visit of Prince * Costly Event. . ‘ The‘visit of the Prince of Wales to this country was a costly éffair.~ At a time when the country is in a bad financial condition it is a large amount of money to spend. The visit was certainly appreciated and the young prince made himself very agreeable and played the part assigned him very well. We doubt, however, if it is a good precedent to pay large sums for entertaining princes in a democratic country. Lawyers Likely to Get Most of Cash. Judging by outward appearances the lawyers are likely to get most of the pickings from the ship contracts. No opportunity seems to be lost in bringing some phase of the case before the courts. What is most puzzling to the man on the street is what Newman Erb expects to get out of the contracts if he keeps the case under litigation indefinitely. It is to be hoped that the trial will come off on the 22nd and that a speedy settlement will be made. In the meantime work is proceeding steadily although not as rapidly as was expected. no DENTISTRY RESULTS ‘ are the one and only factor which i Interest You . in the ‘ Modern Practice of Dentistry NO FAILURE HERE I Get Results!

THEDALLY #5196" OF ILL-HEALTH Three Years cf Suffering Quickly Relieved by “FRUIT-A-TIVES” MR. GASPARD DUBORD 159 Avenue Pius IX, Montreal. ‘Por three years, I was a terrible sufferer from Dyspepsia and my general health was very bad. I consulted a physician and took his medicine and faithfully carried outhisinstructions; but I did not improve and finally the doctor told me I could not be cured. At this time, a friend advised me to try ‘Fruitcotives’ and I did so. After taking two boxes of ‘Fruit-c- tives, I was greatly relieved; and gradually this marvelous fruit medicine made me completely well. My digestion and general health are splendid—all of which I owe to *Fruit-a-tives”’. GASPARD DUBORD. 50c.a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size, 25-.
