North Huron Liberals done well, pull- ing the Conservative majority from 267 to 1130, The figures in detail for the elections of 1911 mid 1911 will he found on are other pees, of this iseue, Winghem Liberals are doing better. The Conservative majority in 1905 was 156; in 19 et, 149; in 1911, 136; in 1914, 111, This majority should be further cut in the next campaign. Mr, J. G. Anderson of Lueknow was a good candidate and made an eXcellent run. He was deservedly popular among the Liberals and made many than that is the drop in the Conservative popular majority. The indication is plain enough that the Liberal title is growing stronger in Ontario and the Conservatives, though they have won the Provineal tight again, are losing ground, When it is remem- bered that less than three years ago the Conservatives virtually swept the Prov- ince both in the local and federal con- tests, last week's gain in. Liberal re- presentation m the Legislature and, more than that, the decrease in the popular majority of the Conservatives show a very satisfactory growth of lib- eral feeling and voting strength in On- tario. And the growth in corning - months is likely to he greater than that in the past couple of years, as the weak- ness and blundering partisanship of Sir Robert Borden and his associates and the unfortunate national conditions which have followed from their admin- stration of Canadian affairs is more fully realized. THE WIN( HAM TIMES, JULY 9, Mt ttOT WEATilla :AILMENTS. ' A medicine that will keep children well is a great bout) to every mother. : This is just what Belay's Own Tablets - do. An occasional dose keeps the little stomaeh and bowels right and prevents siekness. Daring the hot summer • months stomach troubles speedily turn to fatal diarrhoea or cholera infantum and if 13aby's Own Tablets are not at hand the child may die within a few hours. Wise mothers always keep the Tablets in the house and give their , children an occasional dose to clear out ; the stomach and bowels and keep them well. Don't wait till baby is 111 -the ; delay may cost a precious life. Get the ; Tablets n*w and you may feel reason- ably safe, Every mother who uses the , Tnblets-praises them and that is the ; best evidence that there is no other medicine for children so good. The , Tablets are sold byenedicine dealers tir by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. ; Williams Co., Brockville, Ont. f The damage to the C.P.R. steamer I friends during his campaign.

This is likely saying good words after a man has died, The Liberals were, and are yet:thorough- ly well pleased with Mr. Anderson as a candidate. Wm, McDonald, M. P. P. elect for North Bruce in his newspaper, the Chesley Enterprise, says: -"It is quite evident the Banish -the -Bar policy was not popular. But it is right and in- stead of taking a backward step the Liberal party must go a step further and advocate the elimination of the shops as well as the bars and clubs. No queation is settled until it is settled right and the only right way is to make a clean job of the licensed liquor. Tabulated returns of the results of the voting in the different constituen- cies in the Provincial elections gives the Whitney Government a popular majori- ty of about 64.483. This is something like 11,009 more than in the general elec- tion or 1911. While these returns are semi-official, an analysis shows that two-thirds of the Government's majori- ty came from Toronto.: The result of the campaign should teach the Liberal party a lesson. It was emphasized in the cheerful and up- timis tie announcement of our leader in his first utterance after the election. It is that:no party can win elections without a thorough organization. In some few ridings, where there is an overwhelming majority for one side, it is not so necessary to win as that the victors should have been organized, But to win throughout the country, there must be orgaoization and prepar- ation everywhere. There was not one drunk in the To- ronto police court on Tuesday morning. The bars were all dosed on Sunday and Monday, Is that not pretty good evid- ence that closing of the bars has a ialu- tary effect in curtailing excessive drink- ing of liquor? -Stratford Beacon. Facing an adverse majority of 250 placed in his way by the Conservative gerrymander of Bruce county, and in an election which was so unfavorable to the Liberal party, William McDonald carried the Liberal standard to victory in North Bruce. His majority, in doubt until the last poll was heard from, was only twelve, The official returns for East Lambton show the election of R. J. McCormick, Liberal, over Dr. J. B. Martin, Con- servative. by a majority of eleven. Mr. McCormick has represented the riding fo a number of years. LIBERALISM'S GAIN IN ONTARIO. An outstanding fact in connectioe with the Provincial election in Ontario is that the popular majority of the Whitney Government was considerably reduced In Toronto, for example, the number of votes cast for Liberal candi- dates was three time as great as the number polled by the Liberals in the Provincial contest of 1911. In many ridings throughout the Province, the Liberals were. successful in reducing large Conservative majorities by hun- dreds while in serne cases former Con- servative majorities running well up in- to three fieures were turned in goad siz el majorities for the Liberals. Talc- caLL in the Province as whale and tomparing the total with the reenie‘r cast in the last Ontario fight, it is iteon that the Liberals hsv' gained greatly in voting strength throughout the Proviece. While the Conservatives remaia in power their advantage in the Legialature hag been decreased by a nainte,r of seats and more significant WEAK LUGS? ic toll of titherculosie is claiming snare than 350 victims every day in the 1.1nited States, yet few realize their grave condition until the Critical periodetreives, Overwork, worry, weaknessafter sieka Less, .terrle bronchitis, tender throats— ell exart the weakening influence that hivitee cousumption.

A hen's egg contains 70 per cent we - ter and a cow's milk contains 87 per cent, That is, if the cow waters it herself. At the last Crystal Palace show, London, the entries reached 7,525, a new world's record, and the prizes amounted to $25,000. With all this England imports most of her poultry; end eggs. Ten thonsaed dollars' worth of eggs are produced in Petaluma, Cal., daily and poultry is the town's industry. This item is for boards of trade which are after industries to locate. "Go to the ant, thou sluggard!" Go to the hen, thou board of trade, and save your town from wildcat promoters. Better be careful to put the brood- ers and broody coops on new ground this spring unless the former location has been sweetened by some fast -growing crop. Old grbund breeds in- testinal troubles and the gape worm. It is a good plan to darken the incu- bator during hatching. The chicks do not crowd toward the front. They are quiet and sleep and do not eat the droppings -a stunt which kills lots of them the first week. The blue grass country of Xentncky not only raises fine horses, but lots of big geese. Tw,enty-five hundred geese were shipped at ote time from Glas- gow, Ky., to Mansfield, Ili. Turning blue grass into the long green cer- tainly pays, and other states may well follow Kentucky's example. The Pennsylvania State Poultry so- ciety was recently organized to boost poultry in that state. Penneylvania has 300,000 poultry raisers and the an- nual product reaches $25,000,000. Many who love to tease the preach- ers about their abnormal appetite for chioken seem unaware of the fact that the majority of ministers are skilled fanciers and produce large quantities of poultry and eggs. Some of the fin- est poultry books in England and America were written by men of the cloth. The championship of the second North American egg contest, conduct- ed by Philadelphia's big daily, was won by Lady Didit to the tune of 282 eggs in 365 days, She is a Villa° Leg- horn from England and thus defeats Lady Showyou, the American White Rock, which won laat year in the Mis- eouri contest with a score of 281 eggs, t'or a White Leghorn to win an egg contest from a White Rock by one egg cannot be considered a great victory. While the Leghorn is feeding her egg machine and a body that weighs frotti three to four pounds, the White Rock Is feeding her egg machine and a body weighing from six to seven and one- half pounds and laying a larger egg. We rend that the eacklieg geese salt- ed ancient Rome. In these &nee, when beet production has dropped 20 per cent and bog reistng is no tenger a fa- vorite fad with fttriners, it looks as if the cackling hen is the last resort to save Americaes from becoming a tribe of vegetarians.

You know the story of Rip Van Winkle ,the man who went to sleep for 20 years and who, when he awoke, expected to find the world the same as it was when he entered slumberland. There are men to -day very much like Rip Van Winkle - their point of view and their practices are these of a generation past. They do not believe in advertising. To succeed in these modern days one must be in accord with the spirit of to -day. For a merchant this means that he must advertise, if he would prosper. A WORD TO THE PUBLIC.
