SHALL CANADA HIVE A NAVY?
The Navy League in Canada bas
offerlug a prize of four hundred dol
lars for the best essay on the sub
jcet, "Shall Canada have a navy
of her own?" Such an essay need
not b?- answered in the affirmative
but whether answered In the affirma
tive or negative, must demonstrate
th< position taken by good and suffl
< lent reasons so as to start think
ing upon this most important matt r
many who have heretofore given it n
consideration. In order to give this
project widely Canadian character
the presidents of different branches
of [he Navy League in Canada have
been invited, along with other prorhi
nent citizens, to be on the special
prize essay committee which is in
course of formation. Some may ask
at this point, what is the Navy
League of Canada?
The parent Navv League of the Em
pire, says the Montreal Witness, was
started in London. England, in 1895,
by a committee of gentlemen, for the
most part civilians, but including a
few old naval officers, to keep pub
lic attention focussed ou the alleged
wants of the navy, so that naval
scares might be avoided and a steady
check be kept upon all navy matters
of policy and practice. Surely an am
bitious and praisworthy endeavor.
It was Admiral Sir Vesey Hamil
ton. the first chairman of the execu
tive committee who conceived the
idea that the object of the Leagu
might he enlarged to the colonies
In August of l$9t>. circular letters
were written to the press iu Canada,
Australia and other colonies, inviting
the formation of branches, so that
by organized co-operation the coloule
might do much to strengthen and as
sist the royal navy iu the stress of
war The English committee did not
lay down any hard and fast scheme
or proposals, but only indicated in
general terms some of the ways in
which he colonies might assist ?
leaving it to the branches of the
league formed lu the colonLes to Ini
tiate proposals or to take such steps
as would forward the grand general
object, which is "to secure to the
liritish navy the command of ttw

I'll. Toronto brand: oi tne .\uvv
L?ague was formed iu the same year.
Ever since its inauguration, it
has taken the ground that iu provid
ing means of co-operation, whether of
men or ships, the autonomous col
ouies must proceed along the lines
of their own uational growth ? iu sue
a way. however, that the means pro
vided shall, by pr?-arrangement with
the home authorities, be so modeled
and organized as to be capable of act
ing with the Koyal Navy, forming In
fact one weapon with it in the hands
of a fighting admiral. The Toronto
branch has since its formation memo
rialized the Canadian government and
has circulated a good deal of literatur
with the object of keeping the navy
question before the Canadian public.
Besides its efforts to promote the
growth of a fighting navy for Canada
to co-operate with the Royal Navy.lt
has taken the ground that in Canada,
naval preparations should go hand in
hand with the development of a Can
adian mercantile marine, the efficient
equipment of our national ports, and.
in fact, with the institution of a
broad national maritime policy for
Canada.
The American Farmer's Grange,
the largest industrial organization in
the United States, will pass resolu
tions at its session in Washington
next week In favor of the postal sav

organization was the first man whom
Mr. Samuel Gompers called upon af

stand he did iu the recent cam

CURED IN THREE MONTHS
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
"I take great pleasure in telling you
what a great help it was for me to use
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
/or my baby niece. She was eutfering
from that terrible torture, eczema. It
was all over her body but the worst was
on her fac? and hands. Her hands were
so bad that she could not hold anything.
She cried and scratched all the time and
could not sleep night or day from the
scratching. I had her under the doc
tor's care for a year and a half and he
seemed to do her no good. I took her
to the best doctor in the city and he said
that she would have the sores until she
was six years old. But if I had de
pended on the doctor my baby would
have lost her mind and died from the
want of aid.
"I used all the remedies that every
body told me about and I tortured the
child almost to death. Then I saw in
the paper how Cuticura was the thing
for irritating skin. I bathed her with
warm water and Cuticura Soap and used
the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured
in three months. Now her skin is as
clear and smooth as it could be. I shall
recommend the use of Cuticura wherever
I see the skin in bad condition. Alice
