THURSDAY, JULY 20, '05 NOTES AND COMMENTS Up to the present time all fines im- posed for infractions of the Liquor License Act have gone to the munici- palities interested. In future when an information is laid by the license in- spector, ur any other officer appoint- ed by municipalities the municipality will receive no benefit from the fines imposed. ss The Dominion Parliament proposes to increase the pay of its members.

Judges sal- And brought with him a certain ar) aro also to be increased. Such :s wise man for to judge which tribe month that the captain of the tribe of Benedicts which dwelt round about Dashwood, which tribe had touch skill in the batting of the ball and the catching thereof -st rode through the country. And, lifting up his voice, he cried: "Who will come out and fight with us?" Then spike Kyle, the leader of the tribeof Bachelors, which inhabit- etb the village of Dashwood and ex- teudeth out into the borders of the township of Hay, and he said, "I, even 4, have by me nine mighty awn of valor which can withstand thee." And thus it came t4) pass that war- fare was stirred up between the neigh- boring tribes. On the fourteenth day of the seventh month cause the tribe the proposal of the Minister of Justice and the Parliament is now consider- ing it. The result of the deliberations can, of course, be readily guessed. The increases are large. The sessions have been long, but who snakes them long? Not the people. Business might be dispatched much more rapidly if the members would attend the House and quit hair-splitting. Then they would not be voting themselves more money. A proposal that would bo more in line would be one aiming at deducting $8 or $10 for each day's ab- sence from the House. • s How many trustees in Huron coun- ty can read the following from the Welland Telegraph and not plead guil- ty? There are trustees in Welland who from year's end to year's end nev- er visit their schools, and yet they would be offended if anyone would hint that they did not give an intelli- gent supervision of affairs. No one supposes that a farmer can manage his faun over a long distance telephone or that a wan:tfacturer can direct his factory by the aid of the G. N. W., that a storekeeper can litre a success- ful business if he indulges in the ab- sent treatment. and yet there is a pre- sumption in some quarters that it man can give efficient service on a school board and yet never enter the school. It is a wonder these schools with the careless trustees do not go to the dogs. It is a wonder careless trustees do not waken and try to discharge to the full extent of their capacity this most im- portant public trust. ear The cemetery committee, we under- stand, purpose placing suitable tie posts along the front of the cemetery as the old ones are useless and will not secure horses properly. We would take this occasion of strongly urging on all who feel themselves abblo to make a deposit in the permanent fund of the cemetery for the permanent care of their lots, or if they would prefer make a provision in their will for a sum to be applied to the permanent fund; the interest accruing from this fund, as it grows larger year by year will greatly strengthen the hands of the committee. We believe that it is the desire and expectation of those in- terested in the cemetery that in future it shall be gradually improved and kept up, and one of the main condi- tions of such improvement will be the support given to the permanent fund. We trust this question may receive the serious consideration of all who are interested in the welfare of the cemetery. Hay Attu sheets. -A few days ago Mr. Thos. Johnson, treasurer of Hay, met with apainful and distressing accident. He was feeding his horses and had un- tied one of then) to let it run out on the gr•ats°. The horse instead of going out crowded into the same stall with tlie other one. Mr. Johnston in at- tempting to get it out kicked at it. le some peculiar way Mr. Johnson's leg got caught in the horse's tail and before he could loosen it he was drag- ged through the door and for some distance in the yard. While being dragged through the door his aim hit the timber and Ives broken above the el how. Ile was otherwise bruised and shaken up. 4Ve deeply sympathize with hire in his mishap anti trust he will soon he out Again. Ayer's Bald ? Scalp shiny and thin? Then k's probably too late.

Now the captain called Dougall, be- ing fearful, sent messengers unto the abode of one Pfaff, a roan of great strength and valiant in the fight, which begged of him saying, "Hear us, we pray thee, and give ear unto our supplications, for we are in ex- ceeding great peril, being beseiged even this day by our enemies, and our master desireth that thou wilt conte over unto the battlefield and help us, and he shall lade thine asses with the fat of the land. Hut Kyle, seeing this wise man draw nigh, opened his mouth and spake unto them, saying, "Let not this strange man fight against 11s lest we be overcome, but if it be thy will that he so do, then let us bring forth on our side this counter -hopper which haileth from Kellermann s store." And the judge answered, saying, "Even as thou wilt, so do," Now all things having been put in readiness the strife oommenced about the setting of the sun. Whereupon the beseiged force being in the field, one Wesley, a sweet singer in Isreal, seized a club and made as though he would defend the honor of his master. But thrice struck be at the ball mid thrice did he grievously smite the air. Then rejoiced the men of Dougall but their foes clamoured the more against the judge. Insomuch so that curtain of them that stood by said un- to bis fellows. "Put, I pray thee. some- thing into that babbler's mouth." And, being smitten sore. the cap- tain Dougall waxedexceedingly wroth, and he and his legion, with those that stood by, conspired against the judge. But he, knowing their hearts, heed- ed not their vain disptrtin s. Howbeit as darkness fell on the land the host of Benedicts was driven from the field with great loss, and they rent their garments and wept for their defeat. Likewise also wept all those who watched the battle with eager eyes in expectation of a complete route for the Bachelors. A HITITB. Hullett (leo. If.

Winnipeg, Man.,July 15.--A storm of almost of cyclonic force swept the city about midnight. Winnipeg does not furnish a parallel with the horror of last night when caught in the sudden gale. The high brick wall of the form- er. Hoover &Town Manufacturing Co. building on James street, crashed down upon the two adjoining houses, killing four of the inmates and injur- ing more or less seriously five or six others. It was almost midnight when the storm was at its fiercest and at hur- ricane was playing general havoc in the city. that absolutely without warning the whole west side of the four story brick building fell. The crash could be heard for blocks around and the frame cottage adjoining was crushed like niatcbwood, the debris being hurled through the brick wall and roof of the next house occupied by Mrs. Finneran, as a boarding house. A call was at once turned into the fire brigade and police station. Every ef- fort was made to rescue those honied beneath the debris. It was some time however, before every one of the two houses was accounted for. The list of dead ions follows: H, W. White. W. Steinhoff, two sisters named Reilly. List of injured: F. Bennett, badly br used; A. F. Gledhill, J. Steinhoff; Comber J. Anderson, hand crushed; D. Ferguson. No other damage was done in the city, with the exception of chimneys, awnings and trees being blown down. it is not known wheth- er any serious damage was done throughout the country owing to the prostration of the wires.

A perfectly 'balanced' flour is one which c'intains the greatest amount of nutriment in its most easily digestible form. No single variety of wheat will produce *well balanced' flour. It requires the careful selection of different kinds. The makers of ROYAL HOUSEHOLD FLOUR have more than a hundred elevators, scattered throughout the greatest wheat growing country in the world, which enables them to secure the very pick of the wheat that will yield perfectly, balanced flour- -The kind of flour that produces the befit, the largest and the gtrongeft loaf- -The loaf which contains the greatei`t amount of bone, muscle and brain -making protein and die lowest percentage of waste.
