NOTES AND COMMENTS
The Guelph City Connell has deoided

he allegations of graft in oonueotion
frith the poolroom by-law, and to re•
lolnmend the new Council to inveati-
Mte s11 contracts for ten years bank.
It ie now expected that the opening
�f the Ontario Legislature will be early
II February, but this will be regulated
"iy the celerity with which the eta -
tee, now being printed, can be hur-
ed along. It is expected that they will
'ba ready for proof reading by the mid -
idle of January.
Ontario's grain crops for 1908, were on
a whole, greater than in 1907, and
than the average yearly crepe for
tenty-seven years, but a the average
rot prices have been lower the re-
rtx.5 slightly below 1907. The total
,value of .he four prinoipal grains -fall

mated at° ,pont $67,912,000, compared

a., rise Provinoial Government has
appointed Mr. W. K. Snider as a ape -
Dial commissioner to investigate and
deal with the whole question of the
• condition and equipment of the li-
c oeneed hotels throughout Ontario. The
appointment is a new and important
1partnre, and is in accord, Hon. Mr.
aana stated, with the strict policy
Of law enforcement which the de-
partment is seeking to inaugurate.
Mr. Snider will take entire charge
of all improvements that the mom-
olai travellers have been urging
upon the department. These include
such equipment as fire escapes, sanitary
Arrangements, bedding, aocomodation

Railway building in Canada during
1908 abowed an increase as compared
with the previous year. According to
irhe Railway Age Gazette, there were
1,248 miles of new tracks built as
against 976 miles in 1907, an increase of
r cent. Quite the reverse took
cross the border. The record of
vin track laid during the year
closed showed a substantial de-
rease. In 1907, according to the best
obtainable statistics gathered from all
the railway companies in the United
the, approximately 5,212 miles of
+new main traok were laid, while a
similar record for 1908 shows 3,214
les, a decrease of 1,998 miles, or 38,3
er Dent. The 1908 record is the small-
st since 1904, when 3,832 miles were
id. The mileage built in 1904, showed
falling off of 1,820 miles, or 32.2 per
at. from 1903. It is rather interest -
ng to note that for each fifth year since
893 the mileage record has been a little
ver 3,000 miles, Ih 1894 there were
,760 miles of new main track laid, a
eerease of 1,264 miles, or 41.7 per Dont.
om the mileage built in 1893. This
rellels closely the ,percentage of de•
ase this year. Not until 1898, when
,265 miles were laid, did the reoord
'again reach that of 1893, showing a drag

NEW STRENGTH
FOR WEAK GIRLS,
Can be Had Through the Rich, Red
Blood Made by Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills.'
There oomes a time in the life of
almost every girl when siokness attacks
her. The strain on her blood supply is
too great, and there comes headaches
and baokaohes, loss of appetite, attacks
of dizziness and heart palpitation, and a
general tendenoy to a deoline. The only
thing that can promptly and speedily
mare those troubles is Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. Tbis is the only medicine
that actually makes new, rich, red
blood, and a plentiful supply of doh
blood is the one thing needed ,to main-
tain the health of growin girls and
women of mature years, he truth of
this statement is prove in the ease of
Miss Esther E. Sproule Truemanvllle,
N. S., who says: " the age of six-
teen years 1 lef m country home to
attend high eche he close confine-
ment and long rs of study near-
ly broke me do n. My blood supply
seemed to be deficient, and I grew pale
and depressed. I was dizzy nearly all
the time, and pimples broke- out on my
face. I was altogether in a miserable
condition and it seemed impossible for
me to continue my studies unless I
found a [speedy cure. I tried several
tonics prescribed by the doctor, but they
proved, useless. My mother urged me
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and
finally consented to do so. I had hardly
finished the second box before a change
for the better took place, and the use of
a few boxes more fully restored my
health, and I have since been well and
strong. I feel that I cannot say too
much .in favor of Dr. Williams rink
Pills and I strongly recommend them to
other ailing girls,"
You can get these Pills from any
medioine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a
box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville,

DESOLATION ISLAND.
Kerguelen Land Is a Region of Per-
petual Storms.
Of all places on earth outside the
arctic and antarctic regions Kerguelen
Land, in the Indian ocean, is the most
isolated and inhospitable. Indeed, it
is generally known to mariners not by
its official title, but as Desolation is-
land.
llost nations have owned it by turns,
but it has been sooner or later aban-
doned by them all as worthless, and
this although It covers an area vari-
ously estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000
square miles. At present Prance is in
nominal possession of it, she having
annexed it in 1803.
The soil is utterly barren. Practi-
cally the whole of the interior is cov-
ered with snow fields of unknown
depth, whence glaciers Sow down to
the sea. Where there are no snow
fields there are morasses and hidden,
treacherous mudholes.
The climate is probably the worst in
the world. Terrific tempests follow one
another practically without ceasing
and are accompanied by torrents of ice
cold rain, hail, sleet and snow. The
Challenger expedition spent a month
there, during which time there were
only three fine days. And this was in
December -January, when it is mid-
summer in those latitudes.
Its discoverer, M. Kerguelen Trema-
rec, although at first he professed to be
enraptured with it, lived to confess
that it was unfit for human habitation.
"Not even Eskimos," he exclaimed.
"could exist there."-Pearson's.
Too Cheap.
The class at kirk had been reading
the story of Joseph and his brethren,
and it came to the turn of the visiting
minister to examine the boys.
The replies to all of his questions had
been quick, intelligent and correct.
such as:
"What great crime did these sons of
Jacob commit?"
"They sold their brother Joseph."
"Quite correct. And for how much?"
"Twenty pieces of silver."
"And what added to the cruelty and
wickedness of these bad brothers?"
A pause.
"What made their treachery even
more detestable and heinous?"
Then a bright little fellow stretched
out an eager hand.
"Well, my man?"
"Please, sir, they selt him ower
cheap."
Very Nearly Trouble..
"Horace, you don't love me as you
used to."
"Not altogether, my dear. When we
iwere-first married I loved you for your
beauty. Now I love yon for your real
iworth, your many excellencies of mind
and heart and for your" -
"So, Horace Higgsworthyl Yon think
I've got entirely over my good looks,
do yen? Let me tell yon, sir" -
"And for your unfailing sweetness of
disposition, my dear."
Uncertain whether to go ahead and
scold him just the same or to indulge
in a good cry, she compromised by
doing neither and fell to darning his
socks with renewed energy.

rti tutu A HORSE.
if You Want to Please }Jim Ruh film
Retween the Ears,
"Net many people know bew to pet ,
a horse, from the horse's sem,
at any rate," said a trainees "Dvery
nice looking horse comes to fora good
deal of petting. Hitch a fine horse
close to the curb and you'll find that
half the men, women and children
who go by will stop for a minute, say
'Nice horsy' and give him an affec-
tionate pat or two.
"The trouble is they don't pat him
In the right place. If you want to
make a horse think he is gotag
straight to heaven hitched to a New
York cab or delivery wagon, rub hie
eyelids. Next to that form of endear-
ment a horse likes to bo rubbed right
up between the ears. In petting
horses most people slight those nerve
centers. They stroke the horse's nose.
While a well behaved horse will ac-
cept the nasal caress cemplaeently, he
would much prefer that uh.e, soothing
touch applied to the eyelids. Once
in awhile a person comes along 'who
realty docs know how to pet a horse.
Nine times out of ten that man was
brought np in the Country among
horses .and learned when a boy their
peeve r ways." --New" Pork G'obe.
Why Cough Syrups ran.
They slip quickly over the sore irritat-
ed membranes, drop into the stomach
and do little else but harm digestion.
It's different with Oatarrhoze-yon in-
hale it. Every breath sends healing
balsams to the inflammed tissues. Tight-
ness, soreness and inflammation are
cured by healing pine essences. The
cough goes away, throat is strengthened
huskiness is cured. Nothing so simple,
so convenient, so certain to onre as Ca-
tarrhozone. Try it. 26o. and $1,00

er cattle. Good and medium butcher
cows are strong. .
Export steers and bulls steady to firm,
but would be better if it were not for
the bi-weekly mailings, which at the
present necessitate the holding over of
purchased cattle from a week to two
weeks, thus adding to the cost of the
feed bill. Export bulls selling at $4
would sell a quarter higher for im-
mediate shipment. Extra ohoioe btitoh-
er cattle are a •little scarce, but a few
picked out sold at $4.50 to $4.75. The
general run of medium to good hatcher
cattle held at $3.85 to $4.35, good cows
at $3.75 to $3.85.
