A Noted Authority Gives Directions
To prepare Simple Yet Remark-
able Home Mixture.
A well known authority on Rheums
Liam glues the readers of a large New
Yolk daily paper the following valuable,
yet simple and harmless presoription,
which any one can easily prepare at
home:
Fluid. Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Sargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
names,
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take a teaspooninl atter each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacof
vegetable 8 extraction, at small ate harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg-
ularly for a few days, is said to overcome
almost any case of Rheumatism. The
pain and swelling, if any, diminishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without injuring the
stomeob. While there are many so-
oalied Rheumatism remedies, patent
medioines, eto. some of which do give
relief, few really give permanent results,
and the above will, no doubt, be greatly
appreciated by mauy sufferers here at
this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elioita the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the presoziption for our
readers if asked to.

equal to nearly double the assessed area

by 0. P. R out of what was given that
company, has brought an average return
of nearly $4 per acre. The 8,000,000
sores which that company still has to
dispose of will bring double or treble
that pride. The lands granted by the
various Provinces will bring mach less,
But at $4 per acre, all around, the lands
given to railways by our various Gov-
ernments will yield $16,000,000 in cash.
The Dominion Government has paid
out nearly $129,000,000 in the form of
cash subsidies; the Provinoes have con-
tributed over $42,000,000 and the moth -
civilities $:7,346,000. That is a total of
more than $188,000,000.
Add the value of the land grants to
the moll donations and the grand aggre-
gate is upwards of $348,000,000, and as
this was divided between some 22,000
miles of railway, the assistance given
works out at very nearly $16,000 per
mile.
If the amount spent in aid had been
a little more than trebled every foot of

which recently adjusted the dispute
between the Grand Trunk Ry. and
the Telegraph operatars:-
"The board were much impressed by
the suggestions that the same board
had recommended a higher rate of pay
to the telegraphers in the service of
the Canadian Pacific than they were
prepared to recommend in the present
instance. We are glad to be able to
report that the parties appreciated
the 10500118 why the members of the
board could not in this instance see
their way to the recommendation of
any higher rate than that finally agreed
upon between the parties, and we de-
sire to put upon record some of the
Lessons why we came to this conclu-
sion.
"We thought, under the present con-
ditions, that the offer of the company
in the matter of increase of wages
was all that could be justified. There
are many considerations entering into
the question. In our view, there is
the right of the men to receive a liv-
ing wage, and that right is paramount,
The workman is entitled to get a fair
day's wage for a fair day's work.
What, however, often seems to be ig-
nored ie that capital and labor are
both necessary in order to produce a
profit, whether it is In the operation
of railways, in manufacturing, or in
any other branch of trade. The aim
of the worker should be to leoure a
fair share of this profit. But there

In his annual report to the Provincial
Board of Health,Dr. Hodgetts, Secretary
of the board, draws attention to the fact
that during 1907 there was an increase
of smallpox compared with 1906. Com-
menting upon the position, he flays that
the total of 833 oases reported fails to
represent the aotnel number of cases.
As the result of inquiries made by the
officers of the board it has been found
that large numbers of cases of smalipok
have occurred without medical attend-
ance being called in owing to ignorance
of the tree nature of the disease from
which the patients were suffering. In
other instanoes oases had been conoealed
on account of fear of quarantine. This
hat resulted in the spread of the disease.
In many municipalities the disease was

ohiokeepox or impetigo. Local health
authorities were therefore again oaution-

seems to be an oversight on the part
of the public of two things: First, that
there is a eontinnal demand for an in-
erease of expenditutte upon the part of
the company for facilities, and second,.
a continual demand for a rednotion of
the tariffs which furnish the monies
neoeasary to provide these facilities and
accommodations. The growth of earn-
ings is not keeping pane proportion-
ately with the growth of expenses. If
the operating expenses and the wages
to the employees must be inoreaeed from
time to time, and the public so de-
mand, very mime considerations must
be given to the proposals for the re-
duction of freight and passenger rates,

the riski incident to industrial Hader-
-takings. If raised by taxation, this
would be nothing more than getting
it from the collective resources of the
country. The wages, other than the
living wage before ,referred to, whioh
are paid by railway companies to their
employees must, therefore, diguise it
as we may, depend upon what a oom-
ees. There is no doubt that the cost
of living has greatly increased, and
that tha employees of a railway com-
pany are entitled to be better com-
pensated to meet mob increased cost,
but surely they are not entitled to be
oompensated at the sole expense of
people who have invested there money
and who would in return be deprived
of their means of livelihood. The pub-
lic should bear their share. • The rail-
way employee spends his honey for
the benefit of every other member of
the community from farmer to mann-
faoturer, and if the employee has to
obtain more money to meet his increas-
ed Dost of living, other classes of the
community who receive the benefit
of the money he spends should con-
tribute their share towards enabling
him to get the money he has to spend;
and it is for the foregoing reasons
that, under the present conditions, and
having in view all the surrounding
circumstances, we thought that the of-
fer of increase made by the officials of
the Grand Trunk Railway Company
had gone as far as could be justified,
though not necessarily to the limit
whioh the telegraphers ought to re-
oeive ander other cironmstanoee. The
deterring of the investment of capital
in railway undertakings would cer-
tainly not be a benefit to the commun-
ity at large, and if the property of
lenders is to be. praotfoally confico s -
ted between the demand of the public
on the one tide, and the demand of
the employees on the other, it Mnet
lead to a general rednotion in wages
or a shrinkage in the number of em-
ployees, with a much greater ultimate

A CURE FOR WARTS AND AGUE
Drastic Remedies That Must Haw.

fortunate Snail's --A Telepathic The.
ory That Was a Dismal Pailure.
18 is probable, though -bearing In
mind the extent and profundity of the
learning considered necessary for "ev-
ery schoolboy," provided he Is educat-
ed at other people's expense -one does.
not like to dogmatize, that slugs and;
snails were among the very earliest
natural history subjects we were
taught. The teaching, we may remem-
ber, was conveyed In the, classical form
of question and answer. "What," we
Were asked, "are little boys made on"
And, the querist, almost always of
the nurse or governess persuasion, sup-
plied the answer with unmistakable
relish. "Slugs and snails and puppy,
dogs' tails" were, we Were informed,
the ingredients which went to the com-
position of the soaring human boy. It
was doubtless the memory of the In.
dignity rattier than any righteous zeal
against tile foes of the flower garden
that induced us for some time after-
ward invariably to squash or other-
wise destroy every slug and snail that 4.
our youthful eyes lighted on.
As a matter of fact, however, a good
deal of interesting old world lore clus-
ters about slugs and snails, though
considerably more about the latter
than the former. That, however, is of
the less importance, inasmuch as net:
uralists tell us the slug is practically,
a snail which wears its shell under its
skin, though possibly the definition
may be taken exception to from a sci-
entific
cientific standpoint. It is worth remark-
ing that, whereas everybody knows
snails are considered a table luxury in
several countries, nobody seems to
wax ecstatic over slugs if we except
the beetle de nier, or sea slug, over
which as prepared in the far east some
writer's have risen to poetical elo-
quence. The Romans used to fatten
their edible snails on bran soaked in
wine, and It is said, with a considera-
ble emphasison the "said," they at-
tained such an abnormal size that the
shell of one was reported to have a ca-
pacity of ten quarts.
Indirectly snails may be held to add
still more largely to our supply of
nourishing food, inasmuch as the fa-
mous Dartmoor mutton is said to owe
its excellence of quality and flavor to
the myriads of tiny snails eaten by
the sheep as they browse on the short
grass. It is a little disconcerting after
this to read the old naturalists', dic-
tum that the snail is "a worm of slime
and always foul and unclean; is a man-
ner snake and is a horned worm."
Moreover, if any one troubled with
warts will secure a snail, pierce it as
many times as the unsightly excres-
cences number and then impale the
hapless snail on a thorn tree as the
creature dies the warts will disappear.
Equally deserving the attention of the
S. P. C. A. is a provincial cure for
ague, which consists in putting a live
snail into' a bag and Wearing it around
the neck for nine days. It is then to
be "thrown into the fire, when it Is
said to shako like the ague, and after
this the 'patient is never troubled with
the tedious complaint." "Stamped and
mixed sometimes . with cheese, lope
and rennet, snails do draw out thorns
if they be applied to the place," Lup-
ton assures use -while the horns car-
ried on the person insure the bearer's
virtue. It is to be assumed that some'
at least of these drastic measures

which It Is adjured to put out its
horns -"Snail, snail, come out of your
hole or else I'll beat you ad black as a
coal." Sometimes a bribe is substitut-

leycorns" are promised' as an induce-
ment to "show your horns." In Scot-
land
cotland it is said that the prompt obedi-
ence of the snail indicates that fine
weather may be expected. In some
