Berlin, December 5 Herr "Yon Koller, Minister of State for the Interior, has been dismissed from the Prussian Ministry, as his colleagues resented his arbitrary order in closing the Social Democratic Clubs on his own authority.

X*he "Vancouver Service : —4» : _ Sycfey, December 5 As the Vancouver subsidy expires in May next, the question of renewing it or otherwise will probably be decided before the present session closes. The Daily Telegraph, commenting on theJ subject, says that when the subsidy J was proposed three years ago, the principal objection put forward was that the iine was likely to do no more than divide amongst two the trade with America which at that time was confined to one. Although a subsidy was granted the advantage of a double service was by many not; considered great enough to compensate for the division, neither was it generally ad mitted that there were possibilities of developing any trade of importance between Australia and Canada through the medium of a direct service.

says the question now is, how far this point of view was justified. So far the interchange has not been encouragingly large, although there is reason to be lieve that tho wool trade will ultimately derive benefit from the Vancouver line. The writer goes on to say, after dealing with the sentimental aspect of the service, Parliament will be wise to satisfy Itself of the results before definitely committing the colony.



AVER'S SARSAPARILLA CURES Indigestion, Sleeplessness, Loss of Strength and Appetite, and Nervous Disorders* The following letter from Mrs. S. Gash, of Kent Town, So. Australia, whose portrait is given above, is additional testimony to the remarkable health-giving power of Ayer's Sarsaparilla: "For two years or more r millered rnnsiderably from indigestion sleeplessness, am! loss of strength and appetite. When I did sleep I was not rHpslien, and F jilwavs had a severe headache in the morning.
