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. S.

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.

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."

If the girls and women who suffer
with what they think is "Female
Trouble" would look to their kidneys,
they'll soon find the source of their 111 -
health. The kidneys are closely allied
with the female organs, and if the vital-
ity of the kidneys is interfered with,
great suffering 000urs. There is no
better medicine than Dr. Hamilton's
Pills,—they stimulate and strengthen
the kidneys, assist other organs to do
Nature's work, cleanse the system and
thereby maintain perfect health. Great
benefit and certain cure is guaranteed
for all women who use Dr, Hamilton's
Pills.

ASHION is expressing herself in
new ways every day. It is said
Ladies' Hats were never more
keenly criticized than they are
this season.
To the good house, this means satis-
faction, because the real test of worth is
ill comparison.
Our showing for Easter is irresistible
in beauty and unsurpassed in style and

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. -
