Relief for Cities

Under New Bill.
Under a bill which has been introduced into the Legislature

by the Minister of Finance the amusement tax is to be increased
very considerably and half of the amount will be given to the
cities or municipalities in which it is collected, the amount to be
used for the upkeep of schools and hospitals. In addition to this
the Government is taking off the provincial poll tax and is giving
the cities and municipalities the power to collect a five dollar
in its place.

along the schools and hospital appreciably.

Other Changes
In Tax Collections.

Another change which is being made by the Provincial
Government in connection with the collection of taxes is the
placing of a graduated tax on automobiles in place of the present

natural resources will have to pay the Government a part of the

To Be Discussed.

The Minister of Finance proposes discussing with the Do-

preventing the duplication of work, and also the duplication of

ness house getting out all these forms, and is one of the con-

“GOOD HEALTH IS THE
SUREST SAFEGUARD

“FRUIT-A-TIVES” Brings Vigor and
Vitality and Thus Protects
Against Disease

There can ba no doubt that the
situation regarding the spread of
Influenza throughout Canada is one
of grave concern. It is quite true
that the number of cases does not
constitutean epidemicsuch as caused
the suffering and sorrow during the

| terrible days of 1918. Yet there is
no disguising the fact that everyone
should be on their guard against the
disease.

In Montreal alone, from January
20th to February 2ist, three thousand,
one hundred and twenty-two cases of
Influenza and 189 deaths from the
disease were reported to the Health
Department.

If the outbreak had come at the
beginning of the winter instead of
the end, we might reasonably feel
that the very cold weather would
check the spread of the disease. But
coming as it has, at the end of the
winter, there is grave fear that an
epidemic may occur, For spring,
with its slush and rain under foo
its dampness and chill, its constant
changing from cold to warm and
back again, is a prolific source of
coughs and colds, pleurisy and
pneumonia.

The best protection, in fact, the
only safeguerd against the ’Flu, is,
| GOOD HEALTH.

Those who are not as well and
strong as they should be; those who
are underweight; those who are
“run-down” through overwork or

| sickness; should build up at once,
What they need is a Blood-purifier,
a body-builder, a strength-giver, like
“Fruit-a-tives”’, the wonderful fruit
medicine.

‘Fruit-a-tives’’ regulates the
kidneys and bowels, causing these
organs to eliminate waste regular]
and naturally as nature intended.
‘‘Fruit-a-tives’’ keeps the skin active
and insures an abundant supply of
pure, rich blood. ‘‘ Fruit-a-tives”
tones up and strengthens the organs
of digestion, sharpens the appetite,
brings restful sleep and renews the
vitality of the nervous system.

lit-a-tives” contains everything
that an ideal tonic should have; to
purify the blood, to build up Arnage
and yigor, and to regulate the
eliminating organs, so that the whole
system would be in the best possible
condition to resist disease.

Now is the time to build up your
health and strength, not only as a
precaution against the ravages of
Influenza, but also to protect you
against ‘“‘spring fever’? and the
inevitable reaction which comes with
the appearance of warmer weather.
