any man ever made a sauce that was as good as LEA & PERRINS', you can be sur

sure he would not imitate the appearance of the latter.

Yet practically every Worcestershire sauce tries to imitate the appearance of the original.

The very fact that it has to imitate the Lea & Perrins label and bottle, amounts to a declaration of its own inferiority. But for all that, thousands of people still say "Worcestershire" when they mean "Lea & Perrins." Do you?

"THE PRESENT, PONDITIONS.

An interesting speech reviewing marino insurance conditions was delivered at the annual general meeting of the Institute of London Underwriters by the chairman, Mr. Herbert T. Hines.

a At the opening the Chairman referred to the estimate given in The Times of January 1st of total losses amounting to no less than £6,907,500, as compared with 65,303,700, and said thai in view of the heavy losses it was perhaps a little dis- From the very interesting report, it appointing that two of the most import- may be seen that the record of the year ant agreements, the Joint Hull Agree just closed is a most gratifying one.

The large reduetion in the overdraft already noted was a sufficient reason for the strict economy exercised in all departments as explained in the report. While much has been done in the way of road construction and repairing much had to remain over for the incoming Council to attend to.

A new system of street lighting has been installed. Oil Lamps no longer lend their feeble and uncertain glimmer to the streets and thoroughfares. They are superseded by 152 electric lamps which are in every way a vast improvement.

The accounts for 1913 which were unanimously passed show an expendi-question of the design and construction ture of $32,304.07 against an estimate of $29,000.00 and a revenue of 330,092.83 against an estimate of $28,040.00, the net result being a surplus of 88,288.26 against the anticipated figure of $5,434.00.

SKIN DISEASES

Overcome by the Wonderful Blood Purifying Properties of Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN BOOT PILLS.

A person suffering from eruptions of the skin has much to endure. It is not merely the discomfiture and irritation and painful sensation, but life is made miserable by depression of spirits. The liver is torpid and the kidneys are partially inoperative, and you feel languid and weak. The discase is in the blood, and when the system is not cleansed through the usual channels, Nature asserts herself, and forces portions of the impuritics through the skin in the form of Fimples, Boils and Blotches. External remedies-powders, ointments, lotions-only alleviate; they do not get at the cause. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills get at the cause by removing the disease from the Blood. They cleanse the system by stimulating the Liver and strengthening the Kidneys, which alter the Blood and throw off the impure matter through the regular channels.
