R6commendation
Eyestrain causes headache,
- weak, tired and aching eyes.
Other things may give relief
but perfectly adapted glasses
are the only cure.
The most important thing
about a pair• of glasses is the
SKILL of the specialist who
fits them.
If I cannot help you, I say
so. If I can I do thoroughly.
Satisfaction guaranteed with
every pair of glasses. I supply
advice free.

EDITORIAL NOTES
Trade and customs statistics for the
first four months of the current fiscal
year demonstrate the interesting facts
that Canadian manufacturers are now
exporting more than twice the amount
of manufactured goods as compared
with last year, while at the same time
they are protected from outside com-
petition by an average customs rate
ten per cent. higher than last year's
rate. For the first four months of the
fiscal year the total value of manu-
factured articles of domestic manu-
facture exported from Canada was
$51,541,381. Compared with the
corresponding four months of last year,
this is an increase of no less than $29,-
861.888, or considerably more than one
hundred per cent. The export of war
munitions, of course, accounts for most
of this great increase.
Homestead entries in western Cana-
da for the first seven months of this
year totalled 10,279, a decrease of 5,843
as compared with corresponding period
of last year. There were 2,954 fewer
entries in Saskatchewan, 3,002 fewer
in Alberta, and 145 fewer in British
Columbia. In Manitoba the entries
this year have totalled 2,350, as com-
pared with 2,092 last year It is inter-
esting to note that during July home-
stead entries were made by 22 Germans
and 164 Austro -Hungarians.
In Germany there cannot be any
doubt that despite her practical isola-
tion, and, therefore, her indifference in
great measure to external values, the
nation is financially in a very bad way.
This was indicated recented by the
Turkish loan, or issue, of thirty million
dollar war notes supposed to be cover-
ed entirely by gold'held by the German
Reischbank and the Bank „of Austria-
Hungary. This constitutes, of course,
a gold loan by the central powers to
Turkey, but investors in Ottoman war
securities are learning that the Germ-
ans and Austrians have already issued
paper of their own against this gold,
so that it would seem that the Teuton-
ic allies are not above issuing paper in
unlimited quantities against either their
own or other peaple's gold. -Ottawa

RESOLUTIONS OF MAITLAND PRES-
BYTERY.
Whertas the conditions prevailing
throughout the British Empire at
present, are so exceptional, calling for
the conservation of all the resources of
the realm, and
Whereas the licensed liquor traffic
has been so subversive of law and
order, such a dissipater of the energies
of all who have to do with it, and
waster of our resources, and
Whereas a remarkable change of
attitude has been apparent during past l
months, in Canada, and
Whereas this change brings the whole
question of intemperance and the total
prohibition of the liquor traffic to the
front as never before, and
Whereas the awakening in the Pro-
vince is so decided and widespread,
warranting the last measure of legis=
iative enactment within the powers of
the Province:
We, the Presbytery of Maitland, in
regular meeting, in the town of Wing -
ham, this 20th day of September, 1915,
are wholly under the conviction that the
Provincial Government and License
Commission should, at once, prohibit
the sale of all intoxicating liquors as
beverages for the period of warfare,
now upon us, and
That the people of Ontario should be
given the opportunity, at the earliest
possible date, to vote on the question of
complete and final prohibition of the
said liquor traffic within the said
Province.

highly esteemed residents, who for the

Friends of Mr. L. McQuarrie, of

Peter Rielly, a veteran of the Crime-
an War, died at the Bruce County
House of Refuge recently at the age of
82. Reilly had been an inmate of the
house since it was opened in 1899, hav-
ing gone in from Bruce Township. He
had been through the Battles of Inker-
mann and Balaclava, and was an eye-
witness of the famous charge of the
Light Brigade.
Mr. and Mrs. Michael Heeney of
Chepstow, both in their 73rd year,
were taken to the House of Refuge at
Walkerton and will eke out the rest of
their days in Bruce's great charity
plant. Mr. Heeney was a farm labor-
er, and was able to *keep the wolf
from the door until his hand lost its
cunning through age, and he and his
aged wife were compelled to retreat
toward the Refuge at Walkerton.
A quiet wedding was solemnized at
the Evangelical parsonage, Berlin, on
Wednesday. by Rev. .i. P. Hauch,
when Miss Helena Mathis, formerly of
Auburn, became the bride of Mr H.
Whitney, of Berlin. The ceremony
was performed at noon and shortly
afterwards the young couple left on
the honeymoon, which is being spent
at Goderich, Auburn and Sebringville.
On Friday morning Miss Maud Gra-
ham, who has been living with her
mother, Mrs. Edward Graham, on East
street, Goderich, threw herself from
`the second -story window of her home
and striking the cement sidewalk below
was instantly killed. She had been
suffering for some time from nervous
breakdown. She was about forty years
of age. Much sympathy is felt for
the mother and other relatives in the
distressing circumstances.
Dr. Sinclair, one of the oldest and
:most respected citizens, of Walkerton,
passed away last week at 76 years of
!age. The doctor practiced medicine
there continuously for 47 years He
i was born in Lobo Township in 1834 and
Although the cost of household tom-
o odities has risen, the report of the
Department of Labor shows that the
average weekly budget of workingmen
is now placed at $15.74, as compared
with $14.40 a year ago.

to sufficiently nourish loth laxly and

nature's demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown itt so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.

!received his primary education under a
igraduate of Edinburgh University. He
was of Scotch parentage and spoke
nothing but Gaelic till he was 10 years
of age. He graduated in Ann Arbor in
1SO4 and entered the medical service of
the northern army in the Civil War-
' and was present at the battle of Nash,
ville. At the close of the war he
settled in Napier, Middlesex County,
' where he married the widow of the late
Dr. Anderson and came to Walkerton
in 1868.
I A very pretty house wedding was
"solemnized at the home of Mr. Francis
Cunningbam, Port Albert, Wednesday
evening of last week, when his Baugh-
; ter, Maude, was united in marriage to
Roy Alton, a prosperous young farmer
from Belfast. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. J W. Hedley, of Nile,
at 5 o'clock. The bride, who was given
away by her father, wore a beautiful
gown of white silk crepe de chene with
trimmings of shadow lace and carried a
bouquet of roses. She also wore a
handsome veil arranged in cap effect.
The wedding march was played by Mrs.
Hedley. The house was very prettily
decorated for the decagon, and the
young couple were married under an
arch of ferns and white dahlias. After
extending congratulations to the happy
couple the guests sat down to a
sumptuous repast and the rest of the
evening was spent in games and music.
The bride received a great number of
beautiful and costly presents, which
sh;;wed the bigh esteem in which she is
held. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Alton
)every happiness in their new home.
