fresh lot of questions relating to the

chancellor of the exchequer, will ask
War Secretary Haldone to inform tho
house of the quantity of Chicago can
ned meat supplied to the troops in
South Africa during the late war and
what proportion of enteric deaths
ought more properly to have been de

Another question is based on the dis

Heroism of the Women
Almost the last of those who are
accorded honor for their "heroism at
San Francisco are the women, and
especially the trained nurses. It is
agreed that no others showed' such
coolness, such unflinching courage as
they. No call was awaited, but they
sought for the wounded and walked
without faltering amid scenes that
even strong men could not endure the
sight of and from which they ran
away.
The good done by that band of de
voted women is -not to be estimated,
and it is only just beginning to be
appreciated and put on record. Due
praise has been given Funston and
his aids for their work. The polico
and firemen have figured largely in
the dispatches. The doctors have
not been overlooked, but the nurses
are still awaiting their shares of the
common glory of fearless and skillful
service. Buffalo News.

of the country. More than 25 per
cent of the total meat business is
foreign, or say, $250,000,000; Fully
half of this .will be lost as the result
