THURSDAY, AUG. 24, 'O5 NOTES AND COMMENTS Even the peasants of Russia areask- ing that their schools be freed from church control. Canada, or at least her law -Makers, think that the church should control the school and have faxed it that way in the Northwest. Russia seeks more light while Canada seeks to shut it out. • • Russia is to have a National Assem- bly, the members of which are to be elected for a flue -year term. This will be their first taste of government by the people. 'Twill be only a taste. The document issued by the Emperor safegual ds his authority in many ways and shows that the whole thing is a mere pretence. The document states that the Assembly can be dissolved by the Emperor before the expiration of the term, and he may order new elec- tions; that the length of sessions and its adjournments shall be determined by the Emperor; and in all disputes he shall have the final word. To a people who have been enjoying con- stitutional government Many points would not be acceptable, still, to the Russian peasant the concessions may be considered of cutch more moment than they really are. The fact, how- ever, that the people will now elect an Assembly, is a step in the right dir- ection, and this step can easily he used as a lever to force the Emperor to wake greater concessions. • • "From bad to worse" is the tale of the trustees of the rural school, many of whom have this year been unable to secure teachers at the opening of the fall term. There never has been such a demand for teachers as during the past few months. Hundreds of advertisements have daily appeared in the city newspapers. Many have received no applicants, which goes to show that there is a great dearth of teachers. There are several causes - the doing away with the Third -Class Teaching Certificate, the lengthening of the Normal term to one year, and the continued hiring of teachers for leas than the pay of the unskilled lab- orer. The cancelling of the certificates and the lengthening of the training term have each been in the rightdirec- tion, but have been the means of in- creasing the cost to the student pre- paring for the teaching profession. The advances in salary have not been equal to the increase in cost, and many who would otherwise have chosen the profession or remained in the work, have turned aside into other callings. Thus we have the great decrease in the available number of teachers. The reale teacher now is almost as scarce as it Is possible to make tbetn. This unfortunate condition is with us: the point now is to find a remedy. Is it to be the concentration of schools as is being tested near Guelph, or the adoption of the Australian system, in which salaries and promotions are con- trolled by the Government? Grand Bend The Misses Shipley, of Granton, are spending a few days with Mrs. E. Gill. -The fishing gang from Exeter, ar- rived here Monday to spend a few days. -School re -opened on Monday with a fair attendance. We are pleas- ed to are our old teacher, Miss Cun- ningham, in her accustomed place. - Mrs. Pedlar, of Ailsa Craig. is spending a week with her brothers, Messrs. Joe. and Edward Gill. -Mr. Robs. Sanders, who has been camping here during the summer, left Tuesday for Exeter. -A little daughter has arrived at the home of Roht. Pollock, that accounts for his smiling face. --Little Ware Oli- ver came near getting drowned the other day. Brinsley Hasa $6,000 Fire. The village of Brinsley, on the 4th concession of McGillivray, came near being wiped oft the neap on Thursday morning, Aug. lit. Between two and three o'clock t he villagers were aroused from their slumbers by the sound of fire which came from the direction of Sceli's sawmills. And it wasn't many minutes before every citizen of the village and Many from the surround- ing country wet(' on the spot, willing and ready to give what assistance they could. As far as can be learned the fire originated by a spark from the boiler and rapidly) spread, and when MPH by Mt. Seeli, the proprietor of the mill, the entire roof was aflame. The villagers lent their assistance to- , ward the Saving of the large lumber piles, which surrounded the mill and a great quantity of lumber was saved through their efforts. Mr. Seeli esti- mates his loss at about $6,01x) which Includes the mill arid about 150,000 feet of lumber. All of which will be a to• tal loss, es their was no insurance. ers This falling of your hair! Stop it, or you will soon be bald. Give your hair some Ayer's Hair Vigor.

THE PRINCE OF WALES What Flour Granulation Means in Bread -Making Flour is composed of myriads of tiny granules. To make good bread these granules must be uniform in size. In poorly milled flour some granules are large, some small. The small ones absorb yeast, "rise" and "ripen" before the large ones - the result is bread of coarse, poor texture. The large granules are not developed into "sponge," they bake into heavy hard particles, spoil the texture of the bread and make it harder to digest. ROYAL HOUSEHOLD FLOUR is perfectly milled -all the flour gra- nules are uniform in size -the sponge rises uniformly -the bread is even in / texture - perfect in flavor - good- looking, appetising bread - easily digested. Ogilvies back it with their reputa- tion by branding it Ogilvie's Royal Household Flour. Mitchell. Chas. Hines, who opened 1 Ailsa Craig: Jos.

Nissouri: The home of Samuel Crone, 5th con., was almost entirely destroyed by fire on Monday.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the env. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When the tube is in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever: nine a tses out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is noth- ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
