THE DAILY NEW cent longer “Jt js not every man that can afford to wear a Shabby coat,’ Robert Colton once wrote. The words hold as true now as when first written, three-quarters of acentury ago. Nevertheless it is needful today to make the old suit last—though not at the expense of becoming tattered. Between the costliness of clothing ‘ at the one extreme, and shabbiness of them at the other, there is a middle ground where economy and good, appearance meet. Our modern dry cleaning estab- lishmentis this middle ground. Here our experienced cleaners can tune up your old clothes and preserve your new. Every person realizes the business E advantage and the social value of clothes well cleaned and neatly pressed, but there is more in these details than improvement of ‘‘looks”’ alone. PP your linen. Ask your tailor or your clothier. They will inform you that apparel frequently pressed, and cleaned at intervals of two or three months, will wear from 25 to 50 per cent longer than clothes that are not so considerately cared for, economy, o'the Dry : 3! Cleaner How to make your o/d suit last There is a sound reason for this. You wash your linen when it be- comes soiled—it is a matter of self- respect and personal hygiene, of course, but it is also true that if left unwashed your shirts would wear out much more quickly. Perspiration, oils, grease, and fruit juices have a corrosive effect; dust and dirt have a grinding action— your outer clothing needs purging of these equally as much as does The cleansing gasoline baths used in our dry cleaning process, and the pressing of the presser, with hot steam working through the fabric, have a Sterilizing action—your ap- parel is made, by our scientific treatment of each garment, as im- maculate outside as inside, it keeps its shaper better, and is saved from tell-tale shininess. Your old suit will last longer, and your new suit will do double duty if you will more frequently use our modern cleaning and pressing ser- vice, which is specially organized to meet your individual needs.

It was introduced into the Senate by Senator G. H. Barnard of Victoria on March 2, and read a first time. The measure provides for uni- form divorce laws for the whole Dominion, making the highest court in each province or terri- tory the body before which cases shall be tried. This law will not materially affect the province of British Columbia where already there is a divorce law in effect and the Supreme Court of the province tries all cases. The bill provides that any mar- riage may be dissolved for: a) Adultery; or, b) Bigamy; and may be de- clared null and void,— a) At the suit of the injured party, for the incurable physical impotence of a party to a mar- riage which existed at the time of the marriage; b) For duress, want of consent, at the suit of the injured party, unless such party has by his conduct con- firmed the marriage; (ec) For kindred within the de- grees prohibited by the laws of the province now in force which are applicable thereto; provided, however, that no marriage shall be declared null and void because the woman is a sister of a de- ceased wife of the man or a daughter of a sister of the de- ceased wife of the man; d, For insanity, at the time of the marriage, of either of the parties thereto; (e) At the suit of the husband, when the wife is pregnant at the time of the marnmiage by a man other than the husband, if the husband was ignorant of the pregnancy, by his conduct econ- firmed such marriage; (f) At the suit of the injured party, when the other party wil- fully 1efuses to consummate the marriage- Provided, however, that no mar- riage shall be declared null and void after the death of one of the parties thereto unless such mar- riage was void ab initio. The bill also provides’ that newspapers shail not be allowed to publish details of the case dur- ing trial and only after the trial at direction of the court. Being a private member's bill, it is possible that it may not pass the two houses of Parliament. It will not be discussed along panty lines and it is probable the mem- bers of the Government will di- coercion or lyide on the question, the Catholic | members generally opposing and the Protestant members favoring.

Arthur Meighen, minister of the interior, introduced a bill into the House of Commons dealing with Indian lands in the province of British Columbia.
