As A result xef the increase in the, cost of newspriat and other things that enter into, the ,cose of publishing over 100 newspapers went out of bus- iness in Ca last year* Some pa- pers were absorbed by, or amalgamate ed with *there, Other papers cease ed Publishing. The xeason. for the increase el news- prsnt prices, is tit* the supply is not equal to the demand ia United States. The large majority of the American newspapers are supplied from Canada and as a matter oe fact the. American papers centime over 80 per cent, of the newsprint manufactured, in Canada. The 'result of the Jan. 1st increase and the one that will be made six months hence will undoubtedly be the suspension of many papers cluing the coming year . This is very much to be regretted, for the, fewer the news- paper; in the country the easier it is for wealthy, sellash designing persone to control the situathera A. free and independent press is absolutelY nee es- sary for the safety of the masses, even in a democratic country like Canada. Another result wel be that those news- papers that desire to live will have to raise their subscription price to $2 et Ieatt, la the Ilisited States price of many weeklies is SZ and $3, 'and some weeklies en Canada have also adopted these rates. Certain it is that under prevailing conditions it will not be possible to survive long et the $1.50 rate.

Makins from Mr. Hooper, was slaugh- tered and Oa being opened was found to have a growth on the liver, which burst. Drs. Sweet and Vining were calleJ en. by the butcher and they pro- noimcni the growth, which was said to, be the size of two pees, an abscessl and they said the carcass should be ,Jestnoyed. Mr. Hooper then took the carcass home, and after seeking ad- vice from Mr. Eieber of Creditate had Dr. Eckert send a part of the jiver and other glands to authorities in Toronto and London to be examin,ea, Replies were read from these people, the letters stating that an abscess on the liver did not neoessatrily make the meat (other than the liver) unfit for human. consumption, and from the parts examined they pronounced the meat fit to be eatene Oir the strength of these letters Mr. Hooper, according to the evidence taken,. sold some of the meat, The point in, the case ,seems to be whether an abscess on, the elver of a beast may. be either local or general in its nature.' ,That is -if local only the liver is unfit to eat; if general, then the whole carcass is unfit for human consumption:, from the medical standpoint there may be a dififeeence, but ,from the standpoint of, the consumer in general they prefer to think that the beast was free from disease of any kind. in Dome Rink, Exeter THURS.
