The Poor House.
DEAR EDnron.—I see by THE Txstas that
only one person voted in favor of a Poor
Horne at the recent nomination meeting at
Crediton, whilst a crowded hall voted
against it. The meson this person eo voted
was beoausehe thought that he was not
only advocating the comae of morality,
humanity and Christianity, but, financially,
it very great saving to our oountry, and es -
pod -ally our township. As it now is, wo
have to help the towns and villages pay for
their poor. The charity rate for Stephen
for 1892 is $241. In addition to tins we
have to Fay to the county nearly $170 to
outlet other municipalities in paying for
their poor. Had we a Poor House conduct-
ed as the one in Brant, eaoh municipality
would berespouaible for its own poor, and I
have no doubt that the saving to the county
by having a Poor House, in ten years,
would be sufficient to pay off the money in-
vested.
So far as concerns the large majority
against me, 1 might just say that the major
i•y was eetainst Luther when he stoodalone,
the majority was against Noah when for
120 yenta he warned the worldIf coming.
dretruction, the majority was against Elij eh
when bo stood on Mount Carmel, confront-
ed by 800 false prophets, the majority was
against Paul when be proclaimed Christ on
Mars Hill, and. before Nero, and it was the
majority who said : "away with him, awag
with him ; crucify him, crucify him." In
a few years from now, when a Poor House
will have been established in Huron, and
the poor better cared for than now, and our
county and township charity rate greatly re-
duced, it will be said that that fellow who
voted in the township hall, Orediton, on
the 26thDecember, 1892, in favor of a Poor
House, wasn't such a big fool as we thought.

Trim es MEANT Fon YON, It has been
said that half the world does not know how
the other half lives. Comparatively few
of us have perfect health, owing to the
impure condition of our blood. But we
run along from day to day, with scarcely
a thought, uuleas forced to our attention, of
the thousands all about us who are eufferiug
from Scrofula, salt rheum and other serious
blood disorders, and whose agonies can only
be imarined. The marked success of Hood's
Sarsaparilla for these troubles, as shown
in our advertising columns frequently,
certainly seems to justify.urging the use of
this excellent medicine by all who know
that their blood is disordered. Every
claim iu behalf, of Hood's Sarsaparilla is
fully banked up by what the medicine has
done and it still doing, and when its pro-
prietors urge' its merits and its use upon all
who Gaffer from impure blood; in a great or
smalldegree, deB
ree, the
