The editor of the American Dairy man thus pays Canada a compliment on her dairy interests in the following: "Canada is far in advance of the Unit- ed States in protecting her daily inter ests, the federal parliament having passed a law prohibiting the manufac ture or sale of anything but the pure, unadulterated butter or cheese from the milk of a healthy cow within its domains. Is it not about time that the members of Congress and the several State Legislatures took pattern by Canada and gave the same protection to our dairy interests? The present oleo law is as imposition, as it only legalizes the manufacture and sale of illegitmate product." The " Grocer " says in regard to the departmental stores: -"These large de partmental stores have enormous ex- penses to meet and what they loose on bargains they make up on other lines. Ask anyone who is conversant with prices ou the different articles handled by these stores and you will. be told that although they take it off the profit on one line they stick on with interest on other lines. The average consumer is ignorant of this and imagines that he can buy at the departmental store to better advantage nearly everything he requires. That is the stage to which the departmental store proprietor stud- ies to get the public." Class B -Eva Carling, Vic. Bagshaw, Warren Ross, Willie liawden, .

It has been said that the young as well as the old must die, and the old proverb has been truly verified in the almost sudden taking-ofrof'little Clara Fanson. Rarely, if ever. has the death of a child so keenly touched the hearts of so many as in the sad bereave- ment that has fallen upon Mrs. Mary A. Fanson. That one so young, so healthy to all appearances, should be suddenly„ called away by death seems almost in credible. Although Clara has been troubled for Some time with diabetes, no one had the faintest idea that the end was so near. She was around as usual on Thursday last, but feeling unwell in the evening was obliged to take her bed, from which she 'never arose, gradually sinking until death claimed her as his own. The promptest and most careful measures that medi cal skill could produce, were unremit- tingly applied; but in yarn, the little sufferer succumbed to the fatal effects of the malignant disease about six o'clock Monday evening. Although only 13 years, 8 months and 23 days old she was beloved by all who knew her and was particularly popular among her many school mates, all of whom will miss her with profound regret. She was clever and intelligent beyond her. years, and her death being so uuexpee- ted the feeling of regret is very much intensified The funeral took place yesterday (Wednesday) and was , at-' tended and witnessed by many whose hearts went out itt sympathy for the sorrowing mother.
