BH1TISH COLUMBIA OBLIGA

Feeding by Law.
A law to punish by imprisonment per
sons found guilty of overfeeding was
actually promulgated In Trance daring
the reign of Charles IX. when the cost
of living reached an unconscionable
height It was then ordained that no
person should eat more than three
courses at a meal, the amount to be
served at each course being also pre
scribed Heavy lines were imposed for
any breach of this law.—rail Mall

To treat Dandruff, and Falling Hair,
with Irritants or oils on which a para

w;tter from the ocean to prevent the tide
from rising.
You cannot accomplish a satisfactory
cure without having a right understand
ing of the fundamental causes of the
trouble.
You must kill the Dandruff Gertn.
Newbro's Herpiclde does this because it
is specially made to do that very thing.

' Cf course.the ether provinces,
•.•initially the western, and the Do
mibion are liao'.e elso for annual in
terest to a very largee aggregate
amruut. but the case of British
Columbia stands cut in boldest re
lief by reason of.the fact that while
its obligations were being piled up,
on U.e one hand through a period
q' prosperity and expansion, natural
sources of revenue with which the
obligations might be.met ic the
tuture were, on the other hand, be
ing cut off by loose administration
of the public inheritance. An at
terilft is being made to confuse the
situation in British Columbia. Lands
granted to companies on long-term
leases on condition that industries
be established, it.is held in some
quarters, are not wasted or squan
dered, because the concessionnairt*
oay rentals. The rentals . are
mwt.lv nominal and serve only to
bind a bad bargain for the public.
The Victoria Times asks: "If this
extraordinary argument is not a pie
for speculation in natural resources,
what is itj?" That publication then
says: "If pulp lands are leased to
companies on the condition that
mills shall be erected, and If in
stead they become a football for
speculators and 6tock promoters,
tuey are squandered'.'
British Columbia will grow.up to
its improvements, transports and
otherwise. There can be no doubt
as to this. . But it will catch up
with them all the sooner if it
shall proceed to release the natural
resources of the province now loc^ce
up, as the Victoria Times puts It,
"under leases to speculating concea
sionnaires." This is hardly a case
in which the splitting of hairs can
be justified. I
