NOTES AND COMMENTS THE WINGHAM TIMES, APRIL 1, 1909 EAST wet:SVAN0au. Balance Hanna stook to be sacrificed in Bee Hive store, opp. St. Andrew's Qhnroh, Wingham. The supreme court gave judgment dtimtssikg the appeal in the West Peter- boro election case. This means that the protest proceedings against the election of Hon. S. R. Stratton, M. P., may go ou, and the obj. °tions made on teohnio- gal grounds to defects in the legal proce- dure of the petitioners are not sustain- ed. The report of the Minister of Edu- cation for 1908 was issued last week. While reporting great progress of pupils, training of pupils in the elemen- tary schools leaves much to be desired and the qualifications of teachers are not high enough. The increase in sal axles since 1903 is noted: in rural sohools, for men from $375 to $458, for women from $283 to $379; in cities from $743 to $907 for men and from $805 to $453 for women. The total 'expenditure in the primary sohools was 18 per Dent. higher than last year, and salary in- creases account for $4,389,624. Separate sahool attendance decreased by 1,516. Teachers are remaining longer in the profession. High school and Collegiate Institute expenditure has increased, the total amount now being $1,213,679. The reports from the sohools for blind and deaf are satisfaotory, as is that respecting continuation sohools. The Normal sohools are reported to be over- crowded. The following is the report for S.

LAWRENo If the average veteran newspaper man were asked what his ambition was he would reply that he would like to print a newspaper that contained all the news that the newspapers did not print. People get the idea that everything of thrilling interest which happens in a community or district appeara in the press. This is a mistaken idea. If the newspaper men printed one-half of what they know—we are not speaking of journalists with a big J, but the real newspaper men—the public would get a lot of good reading. It is only when something like the Hamilton tragedy turns the official search light upon the intricacies of social lite that people realize that romance is not dead, and that truth oan give notion cards and spades.—Ottawa Citizen.

ALES PonTxusrErne, Clerk, The adoption of the resolution assert- ing the determination of the Canadian Parliament to enter upon the construe. tion at the early date cf a Canadian navy `-•., does not mean that any plans either as to the size of the navy or the annual ex- penditure, have been discussed by the Canadian Ministers. As a matter of fact, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in the course of bis speech made it quite clear that, in taking up the question of coast defence, the Government would be bound to pursue the same coarse which has been followed in connection with the develop- ment of the Oanedian auxiliary of the Imperial army. In other words, the Government, instead of taking up the matter with the council of Imperial de- fence, will oonfer with the War Office, and proceed on lines agreed upon, and which would result in a force being created which would operate effectively in conjunction with the Imperial navy. 11 "I purchased a bottle of Scott's Emulsion and im- mediately commenced to improve. In all, I think I took 14 bottles, and my weight increased from 133 pounds to 184 pounds in less than six months. I know from personal results the efficacy of Scott's Emulsion."—FRED. R.

Toronto NEW STRENGTH IN THE SPRING Nature Needs Aid in Making New, Health -Giving Blood, In the spring the system needs toning up, In the spring to be healthy and strong you must have uew blood, just as the trees must have new sap. Nature demands it and without this new blood you will feel weak and lan- guid. Yon may have twinges of Men - madam or the sharp stabbing pains of neuralgia. Often there are disfiguring pimples or eruptions on the skin. In ocher oases there is merely a feeling of tiredness, and a variable appetite. Any of these are signs that the blood is out of order—that the indoor li#e of winter is needed to nd in all the ilio can equal ls. These Pills rioh, red blood— spring. This new sense, clears the skin and makes weak, easily tired men and women and children bright, active and strong. Mrs. J. C. Moses, Brenton, N. S., says:—"Last spring my daughter was completely run down, she was very pale, had no appettte, and became very nervous, and we were alarmed about her. We deoided to give ber Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills and soon after she be- gan taking them there was a deoided improvement. She gained in weight and vigor, her oolor returned, and her whole system seemed to have been built anew. I oan warmly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all who need a medicine."

MISS REYNOLDS Successor to Miss Boyd.) ekr.sakro.".~04pilkoweb, rive Stock Markets. Toronto, . March 30.—City;o;0attle Market—Trade was again Blow to -day, buyers and sellers being oonssiderably apart during the early hours of the. market, and consequently not much business doing. Later things began to move more briskly, and prices were found to be praotically nnohanged. Cattle ata costing the drovers big prices in the country, and butchers here de- clare they are too high, and that in the present state of trade retail meat prices can go no higher than they are now. Between the drovers and the bntchers, therefore, there is a good deal of hag- gling going on. The raps so far this week have been moderately heavy, owing to an unexpected bigger demaud for the Easter trade, Some very ohoioe fancy Easter cattle sold at fanny prices, around $5 70 to $5 80. These were the exoepti.lnally high prices. The general ran of good to choice botcher cattle held fairly steady but slow, at about last week's prices. The run was 70 Loads, with 1,476 head of cattle, 174 sheep and lambs, 300 hogs, and 280 calves. - The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle— Per 100 lbs.
