the royal assent,

The passing of the till by the British parliament to lift the Can. adian cattle embargo removes a grievance of long standing on the }part of Canadian cattle shippers. | The embargo has been in force for about thirty years It was insti. tuted under the disesses of Animals act by the British parliament to keep out store cattl+ from the do minion when feur of diseased animals f om Couada en. | tering Great Brituis }

A campaign more or lesa desult. ory, bus been carried on for years by Canadian statesmen with the object of having the ban removed and stigma attaching to the em.) bargo was regarded as a Berious | matter by Canadians At the im. perial conference in London in| 1917 a pledge, or what was re urd.) jed_ as & pledge, wis piven by tie} }then minister of ayri the United Kingdom, that the ban! would be taken off Since then,! however, the question of whether a pledge bad been really viven bas

therm WAS

been much debuted, though the leading Britieh newspapers and| statesmen accepted the words

spoken by the minister of agricul. | ture at the time a6 constituting a pledge.

In the last parliament, when} | Lloyd George was premier of Great! | Britain, resolutions were passed in |the house of commons avd becuse! lof lords in favour of lifting the jembargo The passage of the bill! |through the present parlisment! }has been in fulfilleent cf these! | resolutions

During the cold soap compli- mentary remarks have been heard from patrons of the E nprees Thea te. Since the interior of the building has been overhauled a marked improvement is noticeable | in the heating, aod also adds much to the appearance, Mrs Headley is | to be congratulated,

You find the | cheerful iodividaal—cheerfal in | success, cheerfol io adversity, and | cheerfulio expectation —optimistic; aod again yoo rub up against what may be called a Jewish wailing post, No matter whero their lot may be cast, no matter how succers. fal, the grouch is there. Isn't sad to contemplate? Thero is author. ity for saying that the Lord loveth a| cbeerful giver,and dollars to dough. | outs a cheerful liar will receive a}

heartier welcome to that eternal | home than a perpetual grouch, At thie season of the year, especially, all should be cheerful and thank. ! ful—thankfal that our lotia cne', ia euch a nook, and in the | blessed expectation that the Xmas dinner will bring forth the leg of a torkey or the breast of an old hen:
