Manitoba Governments has passed an amendment to its Liquor License Act providing that only a mejerity vote will be required in future to carry LocalO,,tion in place of the present three fifths. Ot all Canada the Maritime Provinces are to day in the beet financial condition. Trade is good; the past year for the (armors has been profitable; industries are growing; natural resources, par- ticularly the mining properties and water powers of New Brunswick, are being rapidly developed ; work is plenti- ful, and the people are oonfi lent. A couple of years ago the west was offer- ing undeniable attractions for ambitious young men; to -day the attractions, for the present at least, aro all at home. And for the next year or so the Maritime man with a job will do well to hold on to it, to shut his eyes to the deceptive greenness of far -away western fields, and to give thanks.—St. John San.

Cullens the Presby- terian oougregetiosi, at the morning service. The annual Missionary report of the Methodist Church of Canada has just been issued, instead of stating the amount given by each separate '°ep- pointrhent on a circuit, as beretofote, the total amount raised on a circuit, by the church, the league, and the Sunday School is given only.

Canada's trade returns for January show a marked reversal of the trend of trade for the past year so in respect to the steady and rapid growth of imports, with exports showing little or no in- crease". Last month, for the first time in many months, the conditions are reversed, and the imports show a con- siderable decrease, while the exports show a substantial increase. Total imports for the month amounted to $23,084,563, a decrease of $3,356,684 as compared with January, 1907. Exports totalled $21,6 76,782, an increase of $4,- 031,517. Exports of agricnitnral pro. dada last month increased by over five millions, exports of tbo mine decreased about half a millio.l, and exports of the forest decreased about one million. The Toronto News of Tuesday of last week says:—"I believe that the repre- sentation in the Provincial Legielatnre should be out in two, and the Province saved an unnecessary expense of $100,- 000 a year," said Mr. M. G Cameron, M. P P , for West Huron, when seen at the Bassin House this morning. "I am not speaking for the Liberal party," he added, "but that is my own personal opinion, The work of the session is really done by a comparat.vely small number of the members. On some of the committees there are half the mem- bers of the House, but the work is practically done by four or five mem- bers." Mr. Cameron intimated that he might bring the matter to the atten- tion of the Legislature during the pres- ent session. "Are you leaving Provin- ciai politics with a view to entering the Dominion field?" he was asked in con . neotion with his declining to accept the Liberal nomination for the coming election for the Legislature. "No I am going to devote myself for the present entirely to my legal practice," he re- plied. "Your retirement is not per- manent?" "That is for the future to tell," he said with a smile. The Cost of Good Health The pastor of the Baptist Church has begun a series of sermons on Sunday mornings entitled "Perplexing Problems for Professing Christians," and under this head he will discuss the problems of "Church Membership" on March 1; "Baptism" on Marob 16; "The Lord's Supper" onMarch 22; "Publio Worship" on March. 29; "Cauroh Finances and Christian Charity" on April 5; "Person- al Work" on April 12; "Bible Study" on April 19; and "Prayer" on April 26. On Sunday evenings the pastor will preach a series of sermons entitled "Solemn Q=estions for Serious People" as follows:—"Is the Bible True?" on March 1; "Is there a Life B 3youd the Grave?" on March 15; "Who was Jesus of Nazareth?" on March 22; "Why was Jesus Crucified?" on March 29; "Did Jesus rise from the Dead?" on April 5'f "Is Jesus Coming Back again to Earth?" on April 12; "Is Fatnre Punishment Eternal?" on April 19; and "What is Essential to Salvation?" on April 26. Yon are oordi=..11y invited to attend any or all of these services. All seats free. Will be Lessened by the time- ly Use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. I;Iow muoh money is wasted on use- less medicines. How much time is lost; how muoh pain endured simply because you do not find the right medieino to start with. Take the earnest advice of thousands who speak from experience in favor of Dr Wil. Hams' Pink Pills and you will save time, money, and above all, will find perfect health, Proof of this is found in the statement of Mr. 3. A, Roberge, a well known resident of Lachine, Que., who says: "I am a boatman, and eon• sequently exposed to all conditions of weather, This exposure began to tell on my health, The cold led to weakness, loss of appetite, pains in the limbs and side. I tried several medicines but they did not help me. My condition was. growing worse and a general bre threatened. I slept poorly at lost muoh in weight, and be that I was drifting ie. o in day while reading attracted by the at' ., sufferer who bad been oared through the nee of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I had spent much money without getting relief, and I hated to spend more, but the cure was so conviuoing that I decid- ed to give these pills a trial, I am now more than thankful Chet I did so. Af- ter the first couple of weeks they began to help me, and in seven weeks after I began the pills I was as well as over I had been. I am now convinced that had I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at the outset I would not only have been spared much suffering, but would have saved money as well." Rich, red blood is the cure for moat of the ailments that afflict mankind. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new rich blood. That is why they cure such common ailments as anaemia, In- digestion, rheumatism, neuralgia, heart palpitation, erysipelas, skin troubles, and the headaches, backaches, sideaehes and. other ills of girlhood and woman- hood. The Pills are sold by all medi- cine dealers Zr by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2 50 from the Dr. Wil - dame' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. North Huron L. 0. L. The adjourned meeting of North Huron County Lodge was held in the Orange hall, Wingham, on Thursday afternoon last, with the County Master, Mr. Henry Horney, in the chair, and a good representation of the lodges present. The reports showed the work of the Order in this county to be in a healthy condition. Mr. Robert Birmingham, Grand Organizer for Ontario West, was present and delivered a stirring address. Invitations had been reoeived from sev- eral places to celebrate the coming 12th July, The claims of Ripley were ably and convincingly set forth by Mr. Geo: H. Mooney, of the Express, and Mr. Stan - le y ; Mr, B. Gerry, of Brussels, extend- ed a hearty invitation to celebrate in that plane, while Mr. Geo. Spotton con- veyed the greetings of the •brethren of North Perth, who will this year hold a celebration at Listowel. It was finally decided to have no county celebration in North Huron, bat leave the matter with the Districts to go where they wish. A donation was made to the True Blae Orphanage at Piston. Officers were elected as follows:—County Master, Henry Horney, Goderich; Deputy Master, M. Dane; chaplain, Rev. T, S. Boyle, Wingham; recording secretary, T. G. Sheppard, Nile; financial secre- tary, S. A. Maguire, Wingham; treas- urer, Jae. Galley, Wingham; D. of C., A. N. Leishman, Marnoch; lecturers, R. McCrea and Wm. Hayes. In the evening a meeting was held, at which Organizer Birmingham was present and gave an interesting address on the origin of the Order, its principles, and the need for aggressive work on the part of the membera at the present time. Short speeches were made by Meyers. B. Gerry, J. Wilford, A. H. Musgrove, Geo. Spottln, Rev. T. S. Boyle H. Berney, and others. The meeting was presided over by Mr. W. J. Greer. Dot -- tag the mining refreshments were ser- ved, and a very' pleasant and profitable time spent. Votes 0f thanks were ex' tended to Mr. Birmingham for his able address, and to the Wingham Ledge for the hospitality shown the visitors. Six automobiles started from Now York lett week in the presence of 50,- 000 people, for an overland journey to Paris. Two hundred motors accom- panied the tourists on the first stage of the journey. The route taken will include Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, and on to San Francisco, From San Francisco the Pacific coast will be followed to Alaska, and thence across the Behring Strait to Siberia and on through Russia and Germany to Paris.

A Revival in the Swine Industry. own ht. and n to fear lidism. One wspaper I was ent of a fellow a3ve Stock Markets, Toronto, Feby 18—There was but a light run at the city cattle market to. day, and prices in consequence were steady to Arm at yesterday's quotations, Trade was fairly active, though most of the loaitl wholesale butchers are pretty well supplied from last week's heavy deliveries, In several instanoes butcher oattle were reported as selling a little firmer than last week, owing to the ligbt run to -day. Medium to common but - ober cows are selling well, and are in good demand, Extra choice butcher and export cattle, steady to firm, Total ran for to.day was 29 loads, with 504 head of cattle, 201 sheep, 100 hogs, 55 calves. Sheep and lambs are steady to firm, and there is a good demand for veal calves. Hogs—Market is weak, but prioaa an• changed. While the swine raisiug industry has bean in some quarters resting on its oars and in others showing positive retro- gression, the Live Stook Branch at Ottawa bas been getting out a revision of bulletin No, 10, "The Production of Bacon for tbe British Market." This booklet in its first edition received such a call that a very large edition beoame exhausted before the demand was satis- fied. The call for copies during the late summer and autumn months fell away to some extent but the renewal of interest and hope in the bacon industry is show- ing itself very strongly in a request from many quarters of the Dominion f or more information upon the question of swine raising. Fortunately the new edition is off the press and ready for distribution. The bulletin in its revised form will scarcely be recognized. In addition to an almost complete new set of illustra- tions, which are much better arranged than in the former issue, mach new matter has been added. Ci.eful treat- ment has been given the vital question of housing and in this connection a number of plans of modern approved piggeries are illuatrated and described. The, economical utilization of dairy by- product—that margin upon which profit in the industry so much, depends—is treated as new matter. The very strong revival of the swine industry which mast of necessity follow the sacrifice of breeding stock that took place during Iast autumn bas already commenced to show itself. It is safe to predict that with the return of spring with its pas, turage and renewal of supply of dairy byproduots, together with a shortage of market stock, a demand for swine greater than has been for many years, will be experienced. To furnish infor- mation that will be desired at snoh a time Bulletin ItTo. 10, revised edition, has been prepared. Copies may bo se- cured free by making application to the Litre Stook Commissioner, Ottawa. PROFIT IN SPECIALIZED FARM- ING. The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle Per 100 lbs.

This statement shows that the total nnmber of such mortgages in the Pro- vince has been redo ed from 19,526 in 1898 to 14,608 in 1906, but that the amount of the indebtedness secured by these instruments has been increased from twelve million dollars to fifteen and one-quarter million in the same time.

The number of •ohattel mortgages. registered against farmers on account of existing indebtedness decreased from 10,514 in the year first named to 6,943 in 1906, and the amount covered from three and one-half millions to $2,781,000. It would be seen from these figures that farmers have been turning to better account the increa3ed Incomes which have been received daring the fat years than have those engaged in other call- ings. The counties in which the amount of chattel mortgages against farmers is greatest are,—Stmooe, $276,000; Kent, 8218,000; Grey, $140,000; Northumber- land, $122,000; and Lambton, $109,000. In all other counties the amount is un- der $100,000. It is worth noting that the panties in which dairying and truck farming have been largely developed are among those making the best show- ing, In Leeds and Oxford, the two chief dairy counties of the Province, the amount of chattel mortgages registered against farmers to cover existing debts was $60,875 in the ease of the former and 836,124 in the oase of the latter. In Lincoln, the fruit garden of the Pro• vince, the total amount registered was only $29,626; in Prince Edward, one of the chief eeutrea of the canning indas• try, the amount was loss than $26,000. It is evident that in those sections in whi. h agriculture is most thoroughly specialized, farmers are most prosper- ous.
