.NOTE ANL' CO.lt l EXT,
The question of allowing the school
children to give presents to their
teachers at Christmas tithe, will be
discussed at a meeting of the Galt
school board. Quire a number of pre
seats were gieeu this Christmas, and
it is said that the parents of some of
the children who could not afford to.
contribute awe -thing toward the pre-
sentation complain that their .children.
feel ve:y sensitive about it, and are
ashamed to go to school, The resoled
on forhiddirg the prat:deo is overcome
by the eltildrteu going to the teach -r
after school hours and wakiug the pre-
sentation.

The Postmaster General is receiving
petitions in favor of the adoption of a
one mut postage tax cin drop letters.
Am")ngst other reasons urged iu favor.
of this course is that the farmers have
their letters carried maty miles, in
starve cases hundreds of miles, for two
wets, the s.iu amount as is paid in
cities ou letters frtou one block to an
otter. This. it is pointed out, is uo ar•
gument. as the farmers do not have
their lettere delivered whilst the resi-
dents in cities do, Apart from this,
however, it is learned that it is exceed•
iugly unlikely that eve- reduction will
be made iti drop letters Iu England
the same" rtitit is charged ma drop and
loug distauce letters, the short distance
paying for the long, anti this has been
so since the introduction of penny pos-
tage• The areurneut that it cost as
much to send a lever to friends in the
city as to frier:ds a the other bide of
the cantit,eiar col.id just is Ioiieany be
applied to all domestic letters as to drop
letters, breauee the charge for sending
a letter to the other side of the Contin-
erlt is the ;amo as for sending one to
the ether ewe of the world Oa these
grotualsa: i,• ualil•ely that the petitions
will have at effect, even if revenue

Correction.
in our last issue a few obvious er
rors crept into the cetumueication from
Mr. Quieten, tied in order to correct the
paragraph we puhlieh it as it was
written, as follows.
%Vbeu I paid our taxes for 1897
(which was a little over $13S09) I did
not happen to look oyer the items on
the receipt and so was not aware that
I paid the commutation money and did
not discover my mistake until about
the time the taxes for 1SJS became due;
but aur friends were on the watch for
this money, drew it with the consent of
the council and laid it out where they
saw fit, and never made Quinton Bros.
the wiser until questioned about it."
"Figures Talk "
It is said that the Family Herald and
Weekly Star Company of Montreal,
buys one sixth of the entire white pa-
per of Canada. This will give some
idea of the magnitude of that wonder
ful paper. There are over one thous-
and papers in Canada, and the Family
Herald uses one sixth of the entire pa;
per used to print them. The circula-
tion of that is growing by thousands
every week and before long their per-
centage of the consumption of paper
will be much larger, The picture,
"Thin Red Line," has added thousands
of new subscribers this season. The
publishers, we are informed, have de-
cided to issue a last edition of twenty
the usand for those who subscribe dur-
ing January and February. This will
be welcome news to those who have de-
layed renewing and to those who are
desirous of securing it. The Family
Herald and Weekly Star one full year,
with the picture, "Thin Red Line," is
the greatest snap of the century for one
dollar.
South Huron Liberals.
The annual meeting of the South
Huron Reform Association, as constitut-
ed for Dominion purposes, was held in
Dixon's hall, Brucefield, on Wednesday
week. The attendance, on account of
the very bad state of the roads, was
not very large, but there was, not
withstanding, a very pleasant meeting.
The following were elected officers of
the association:President, A. Mustard,
Brucefield: vice-president, J. C. Kalb-
fleisch. Hay: secretary, Thos. Fraser,
Brucefield; treasurer, ,lohn Murdock,
Brucefield; municipal chairmen,—Bay

Murdie; Seaforth, D. D. Wilson; Hay,

mid.

Story of a slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a
slave was madefree.He says: "My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully im
proved and able to do ber own ; work."
This supreme remedy for female dis-
eases quickly' cures nervousness, sleep
lessness, `melancholy, headache, faint-
ing and dizzy; spells. This miracle.
working medicine is a godsend to weak,
sickly, run down people. Every bottle
ga;iranteed. Only 50 cents, Sold by
all Druggists.

I deterwh:ed to try Paiue's Celery

ever, that it would cure me. When I
had used a part of the second bottle I
thought it was doing me good;I could
sleep well and did not faint so often,
and 1 decided to routinite the use of
medicine. After the use of fifteen boar
les I am completely cured, I feel so
strong awl well now, and have such

Grip's Greeting.
I am La Grippe,
Grip for short.
But I get there ,just
And the way
get there
Knocks the stuffing
Out of the annals of pathology.
I atu no respecter of persons,
And sill: or sattn or broadcloth
lies no more influence
With me
Titan a width of
Brown muslin has.
I lay for the woman
Who runs around bareheaded
trhi
t In shod;.
And the way I swipe a man
Without an overcoat
Is perfectly astonishing.
The air is full of me;
And as .a Microbe incubator
I may say without fear of
Successful coutradicttan
That I am bcyoud competition.
I've got a corner on the
Human system at present,
And I'm working it
For all it's worth;
I and the doctors
Aro having a picnic,
And the doctors are
Getting all the gate money.
However, I'm not in it
For boodle,
And I don't care a cent
What I'm here for;
People find out
When they take me,
And there's no telling
How many have found out
The past few weeks
It's a pretty warm day
When I get left,
And we are not having
Many warm days this winter,
Hence—
But why multiply words?
You know me,
And if you don t you can learn.
All you want to know
By reference to the families
Which and in which
I have worked;
Mighty few of them
Don't recognise me socially
And blame me for
All the crimes in the calendar;
But I ain't saying a word,
I simply

A Ridiculous and false Claim. 1
Asa rule, modern newspaper ad-
vertisers endeavor to make their state-

that an intelligent public --especially
the women portion—quickly coudemo
untruths and deception
Some advertisers, intending to soar
high, suddenty fall from, the sublime to
the ridueulous in their statements
Such errors are promptly detected by
the class op people the advertisers
would influence,
Imrgine an advertiser of dyes for
home dyeing, after giving a long list
of the virtues possessed by his prodncti,
remarking, "They cleanse and dye
at the sante time This statement
made to tens of thousands of iutelligent
women is so contrary to truth and ttor11-
rnon sense, that the advertiser is, with-
out loss of time condemned as a simple
ton or decetver.
Ciamond Dyes, the standard home
cid-es of the world dare not take any
such claim. In their valuable book on
Home Dyeing (sent free to all who
•lend for it) they specially mention that
"all goods should be cleaned. before
'Flet: are dyed.'' A. Solon, however,!
arises In the land and formulates a
new doctrine by asserting that----
lives " eleausa and dyes at the .same

stares manufacturer making a claiitt
that his starch will cleanse and stiffen.
At the same timet
No wonder that tnany of our women

when they make use of dyes that pre
tend to take oat dirt and re -color at

deceived women conplain of muddy
anti dismal colors after using aeiulter-

Let it be distinetiy understood that
