Cam den and arc pleasantly remembered by [our people: "Sir Max Altken, I In* remarkable young Canadian member of the Hrltlsh ! Parliament, luiff received a peerage at I the early age of thirty-seven. Sir Max Is without question worth noting. Six years ago ho came to London on a vi>dt, partly for a holiday and partly to eat* ry through a big financial deal. 11 was quite unknown here, although la Canada his name was familiar as that of a y??ung man who in a few years had raised himself from a private sec retaryship h> Halifax to a strong posi tion among the loading tlnanelers of Montreal. When Mr. Altken arrive*! in London a general election was oil. He became Interested and wanted to take a hand. Mr. Bonar Law, the rnionist leader told him that there was a very dltllcult seat still o|>en at Ash-. ton-uiider-Lyne,' in which the Liberals felt themselves see tire. The Canadian rushed down with proper credentials had himself accepted as l.'nlonist candi date. and started a whirlwind campaign that a week or two later gave him victory. He knew so little of English methods and phraseology that In his election si>ceches he frequently talked of dollars instead of pounds.. Hut he preached Empire to the Lancashire fac tory hands. In London lie qiflckly toofc hold of political life. In six months he was knighted. Cheerful, full of good stories, and W4U1 an ever-growing circuit of friends, politicians soon whis^ pcred of him as one of the j lowers behind the political machine. Ill health hindered, and for a time seemed as ( if it would wreck his career. Then j came the war. and he, launched out j as the Canadian Lye-Witness, and! t->ii]c charge of the Canadian "War j Uccord Oflice in London. Then came his well-known book, the otliclal story ? of Canada in the war. "Canada In danders."

In this way. Manager Baum is able to keep his customers, far and near, supplied with the best beverage on earth.

A Dr. Schwartz conducted the examination of eyes and attended to sales. In most cases he had the customers pay in ad vance and promised to send glasses later. Some of the customers received their glawtes promptly and most of them were very well pleased. The glasses turned out as represented. There are numbers, however, who have as yet heard nothing. Mr. F.
