NOTES AND COMMENTS
he revenue for December, according
reoeipte entered on the books of the
oe Department up to the laet day
themonth, was the largest in the
y of the 'Dominion for the last
ontii of the year ,totalling $7,183,365,
ooreaee of $89,825 over December,
. For a year past the monthly
venue statements have shown regular
eases from the record receipts of
and it is hoped that from now
a gradual improvement will be re-
d.
It is scarcely possible to conceive that
e Toronto Mail and Empire is serious
- h its suggestion that persons who send
},lotnres of ioe palaces and gigantic
owdrifts abroad, as representative of
ado's climate, ehonld be fined or
tent to jail. . . . If it is a misde-
;neanor to send out pictures of snow-
lxifts, it is also a misdemeanor to send
Int pictures of meadows rioh with fruit
ind grains, of river banks beautiful in
their coats of green, of trees rioh with
the ripened fruit. Canada has its two
instinct seasons, winter and summer—
winter of snow and ice, the summer
sr growing harvests and running
streams.—Kingstoa Standard.
DISEASE COMES
THROUGH THE BLOOD,
To Cure Common Ailments the
Blood Must he made Rich
and Red.
Nearly all the diseases that Mot
mankind are caused by bed blood, weak
watery blood poisoned by impurities.
Bad blood is the cause of heads. hes and
baekaohes, lumbago and rheumatism,
debility and indigestion, neuralgia and
other nerve troubles, and the disfiguring
skin diseases like eczema and salt rheum
that show how impure the blood actual-
ly is. It is no use trying a different
medioine for eaoh disease because they
all spring from one oanse—bad blood.
To cure any of these diseases yon,nfust
get right down to the root of the vrouble
in the blood. That is just at Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills do. ey make.
new, rich blood. That is w y they oure
these diseases when oom„ n medicines
fail. Mr. Henry Baker Chipman, N.
B., says:—"About a yi.r ago I was no
weak and miser •le hat I thought I
would not live t se spring again. I
could neither wor , eat nor sleep. My
blood was in a terrible condition. My
entire body broke out with pimples and
small boils that would itch and pain and
caused me great trouble. I went to the
dootor and tried several medicines but
to no effeot. I was almost in despair
when one day a friend asked me why I
did not try Dr. Williams' Pinky Pills.
I decided to try them and took altoget-
her eight boxes. By the time I had
finished them I was like a different man.
They not only purified and enriobed my
blood, but built up my whole system
and I have not had a pimple on my
flesh sines."
To enrich the blood you most get
the genuine Pills with the full name
"Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People" on the wrapper around the
box. Sold by all medioine dealers or
'by mail at 50o. a box or six boxes for
$2.60 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Brookville, Ont.
The Canada Presbyterian, referring
Jo the proposal to revise the rules of
the House of Commons so as to curtail
debate, facilitate business and shorten
the seseion8, makes this very proper
suggestion: If any factitious limitation
is to be imposed on free speeoh in the
House then it would be wise to try what
could be done by fixing the length of
time and the number of times a member
is to be allowed to speak. There is no
good reason for prolonging any speech
on any subject beyond one hour when
the Speaker is in the ohair, or for any
member speaking more than once on
tiny one topic when a bill is in commit-
tee of the whole. Such arbitrary limi-
tations would not materially curtail
freedom of debate and they would
materially improve the speeohes. Par-
liamentary oratory is at present a by-
word for prolixity, diffuseness, and re-
tailing tediousness; compression would
tend to improve it.
INOCULATION OF SEED.'
The Ontario Agricultural College has
in press a bulletin from the Baoteriolog-
ioel' Laboratory, giving the results of
work on the inoonlation of seed with
bacteria to increase the chances of the
'crop. The work has-been in progress
sinoe 1905, and has increased in amount
-eaoh year. It has been known for many
years that the nodules or tubercles on
the roots of alfalfa, clovers, peas, beans,
ate., are inhabited by bacteria that have
the power of taking nitrogen from the
vast amount in the atmosphere, and
storing up this most valuable fertilizing
element in the plants, thus enriching
the soil when these planta are plowed
under. In the college laboratory these
• bacteria, are cultivated under artificial
conditions, their fall power of nitrogen
faoonmulstfon being oonserved, and
1these cultures, as they are called, may
, be applied to the seed to be sown. On
old established fields where clovers or
aifafa have been previously grown, the
roil is well supplied with these desirable
v bacteria, and the use of artificial inocn-
IMion would be of little benefit. On
new ground, however, or where the
prop re be sown has not been success-
fully grown before, the inoculation of
the reed usually helps to secure a better
stand. During 1908, over 2100 of
these cultures were sent to Win -
US all over the Dominion and to five
foreign oonntries. The results as re-
ported by,the farmers, and compiled in
10 the forthooming bulletin showed that
• the inocnlisation of the seed was bene- W
ficial in 63% of oases tried. Many
farmers tried the cultures on old estate
lashed flee*, and as was to be expeoted
the results here showed no increase in
the crop from wring the cultures.
During the ooming spring, the college
will send similar oulteres of alfalfa, red,
e white, and alike clover, peas and beans
i and sweet peas, the only oost t0 the
termer being a nominal charge of 26
acute for eaoh oielture sufficient for 60
pounds, or leen of seed. The cultures,
of which there is but one dee, are sent
its glass betties with full directions for
letefir tare. Applioatiolls should be ad-
tirsrrd to The Baotetiologioal Labor-
O. ,4., CT., Guelph, and shotild be

Green Sickness.
Is a disease of girlhood not unlike
anaemia. Weariness, shortness of
breath, poor appetite, indigestion and
irritable heart are the symptoms. There
is no treatment so well suited to this
ailment as Dr. Chase's Nerve Food,
which restores the healthful glow to the
complexion, vigor and elasticity to the
body and regular and healthy action to
the vital organs.
