D.HURDON, Manager Rimier, Deo. 27th, '95 Opt tx0itit THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9th 1897. NOTES AND COMMENTS Thursday was observed as a holiday over a greater portion of the North American continent than any other holiday of the year, except Christmas, New Year's Day and Good Friday. In this respect the Labor Unions have se- cured a greater unanimity than any other agency calling for co-operation. Not only was Thursday observed as a legal holiday in every Province of the tbominionof Canada, butitwassirnilar- ly celebrated in the United States. x x + The Canadian millers are right when they ask that action shall be taken to preventadulterated flour being shipped into Canada. It is alleged that much flour manufactured for export by the United States is adulterated, contain- ing from one-tenth to one-fourth of corn flour. Canada has plenty of good flour,manufactured from the choicestof wheat, and it no more desires to be credited with the tnitedStates adulte- rated flour than it wishes to have any- thing to do with the "filled" cheese and oleomargarine "butter" marketed by its neighbors. r A x AU this jubilation:over the return of Sir Wilfrid Laurier does not alter the fact that he went out of his way to tell the people of England that Canadians did not want their produce to receive preferential treatment in the English Market. There may not be much in the theory that Sir Wilfrid Laurier thrust back the hand of Great Brit- ain's generosity. It is probable that a schemefor the imposition of an Eng- lish tax on bread -stuffs, with discrim- inations in favor of colonial products, was not within the range of immediate probability. At the same time it would have done Sir Wilfrid no harm to have kept quiet on that phase of the question, and he may have done Can- ada a great deal of harm by saying more than the country needs. x + It has been reported that there is some prospect of the doing away with third class teachers' certificates. At present, a very large proportion of the teachers do not regard their calling as a permanency, and they equip them- selves accordingly. If, however, we now have third class teachers, we have third class salaries as well. Too many trustees starve their schools and injure their children by under -paying their teachers. They do not fix a lair salary and endeavor to .get the best teacher for the money offered. But they put up the situation to a species of Dutch auction, beating down the pay to the lowest possible rate, and giving the charge of the education of their child- ren to the cheapest person offering, -without regard to his special qualific- ations for the task.- That the standing of our schools is comparatively high when contrasted with those of other countries is under the circumstances, a marvel. + = + According to the New York Sun';: the anti-American, as it chooses to call the Canadian element of our population, would have been subdued, and the friends of annexation would now be in power at Ottawa if the provision embodied in clause 22 of the Dingley Bill had been enforced ten years ago. An American journal, whieli believes that a trifle like the bonding privi- leges is the elixir of life to Canada, is notto be blamed for insisting that the privilege should be withdrawn. The whole trouble is largely the work of Edward Farrer. In season and out of season .he has marketed his absurd imaginings in the UnitedStatespapers, which have accepted everything he cared to say as gospel truth. The New York Suin is his victim. The teachings of the Farrer pamphlet supply it with a "Canadian policy, and the United States authorities show every inclina- tion to smash the Dominion at the points where Mr. Farrer declared this countrey should be hit,if the Americans wainte4 to drive Canada into annexa- tion. The New . York Sun knows nathhrg about Canada, and is therefore an easy victim for inforrnantswho know •tithe truth, but do not tell it to any great extent in their communications with ' t' ie United Statespapers. • tt t ood' Pills are the favorite family ttaartic, easy to take, easy to oper- cat ati ~k, Sir John Macdonald's trips to Eng- land cost the country a few hundred dollars, or perhaps a thousand, each. The Liberals always complained of the expense, and Mr. McMullen wanted vouchers, When Mr. Laurier was going over to he entertained by the Imperial Government the men who grumbled at Sir John's trifling outlay, voted their leader $8,000 of public looney to spend. + - + Jost, as bread is becoming scarce statisticians are coming forward to assure us that it is gradually going out of nse as an article of consump- tion. The decrease in the world's wheat area, taken in connection with the increase. of population, •and the enormous supply of fruits and vege- tables, as • compared with what was formerly available, must be considered responsible for this. There is no doubt, remarks the Empire, that Eng- land is getting to eat less bread and more ineat and fruit. x -r x The United States is behind the age in the matter of postal savings banks. Viewing the success of the Canadian system, American public men are de- liberating whether the time is ripe for its introduction into the Rupublic. It may be recollected that it was a Can- adian post office inspector, resident of London, Ontario,— the late Gilbert Griffin—who introduced the first post office car in the United States, taking the first car himself from 'Washing- ton to New "i drk to show them how to do it. The World's Harvest. Budapest, August 30.—The ;Minstr•y of Agriculture has issued its annual estimate, in which it describes the Worlds Harvest as "extraordinarily light. The total yield of wheat isjplaced at573,760,000metric hundred weight, while the present annual requirements are estimated at 655,150,000 metric hundred weight. It is calculated that for 1897 and 1808 there will be a short - The hundred weight. a e of 50,800,000 d short- age that manyex report states exporting g countries, such as European Turkey, Egypt, Australia and Austria-Hun- gary will either be unable to export grain or will be compelled to import, while others, including British India. Argentina and Chili, will have their wheat export considerably reduced. The favored countries are Canada and the United States, the former of which will soon be one of the most important of the exporting countries, its excess over last year'sprodnetionbeing 7,000,- 000 bushels of wheat and 9,07 0,000 of oats, Its.output of all sorts of grain was 270,000,000 of bushels. The yield of wheat in Great Britain' this season is fifty millions of bushels, against63,000,- 000bushels last year. The wheat area of British India is reduced from 23,- 000,000 acres to 18,000,000 acres, and the wheat yield from '234,000,000 to 202,- 000,000 bushels. The United States, which has reduced its area sown in oats by 1,000,000acres,that sown in corn by 1,000,000 acres, while that sown in other grains remains nearly unchang- ed, will nevertheless dispose or 534,- 000,000 bushels of wheat, against 434,- 000,000 bushels last year, allowing the exportation of 100,000,000 bushels of wheat, while the exports of .corn will possibly be 50,000,000 greater than those of last year. The prospects for oats and barley are less favorable than in 1.890. The price of bread in Austria has already risen 30 per cent. A TRAPPER MURDERED. Young Sawyer Beaten by Two Brothers and Killed. Lindsay, Ont., Sept. 6.—A brutal fight is reported as having occurred at Maple lake, in the township of Stanhope, North Victorin, resulting in the death of a young man named W. H. Sawyer, a trapper. From the meager particulars to be had it appears that for some time past a hard feeling has existed between a family named Thompson and the Sawyer family, arising out of information Laid in regard to the game laws. On Wednesday last, September 1st, T. Thompson and M. Thompson, sons of Mr. Thompson, a well-known farmer and councillor, met young Sawyer on the road, when an altercation took place be- tween them, resulting, it is alleged, in young Sawyer being beaten and kicked into a state of insensibility, and death followed on Saturnay. It is further alleged that the father of young Sawyer, in attempting to save his son, was also unmercifully beaten by the Thompsone. Information has been ]aid against the Thompsons, and one of the brothers is now under arrest in Minden gaol. The ether is said to bavo escaped into the woods, and from reports of his character is a mu:i likely to make a desperate re- t:tance to any attempt to arrest him.

He Easily Falls a Prey to Disease— Rheumatisul One of the Natural Re- sults—One Who Suffered for up- wards of Nine Years Gives His Ex- perience. Trout the Intelligencer, Belleville, Ont. It is doubtful if there is any other occupation more trying to the consti- tution than that of the thresher. Ex- posed to the rains and storms of the antumn season, and the same time checked with the dust consequent upon threshing, he easily falls a prey to disease. Mr. Jos. H. Dayis, a resi- dent of the township of Wicklow, Hastings county, follows the threshing machine for some months every fall. For eight or nine years he was subject to attacks of inflammatory rheuma- tism. The disease usually made its appearance in the fall. and continued throughout the winter, causing not only touch suffering but great incon- venience. Mr. Davis' most serious attack occurred during the winter of 1893. It first made itself manifest by the swelling of the right hand, and be fore twenty -hours had passed the disease appeared to have gone through the whole system, and the legs were swollen to an abnormal size, so much so that the joints were not visible through the swellings. For ten months the trouble continuecland dur- ing that period Mr. Davis was unable to put on his own clothes, and the pain he endured almost passed compre- hension. One doctor after another was tried but without any beneficial re- sults. Then advertised medicines were tried but with no better success. "I can hardly say," said Mr, Davis, "how much money I spent on doctors and medicine, but it amountedte a con- siderable sum, and yet I would most willingly have given niy farm to be rid of the terrible pain I was forced to endure. But all my expenditures seemed of no avail, and I began to des- pair of a cure. At this junctture, act- ing on the advice of a friend, I bean using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The first six bottles 'rased seemed from out- ward appearance to have had no effect, and I felt almost like giving up in despair. I thought, however, that possibly that was not a fair trial for one in my condition and I procured a further supply. By the three I had used three bottles more there was a considerable improvement noticeable, and from that out each day found me growing better. I continued using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills until I had taken eighteen boxes by which time every vestige of the pain bad left me, and 1 was feeling in every respect it new Ivan. I believe, too, that the cure is permanent for 1 have not known what it is to suffer with rheu- matism since. It will thus be seen that Dr. lianns' Pink Pills (released Mr. Davis from the painful thraldrorn of rheuma- tism at a comparatively small expense after doctors and other medicines had utterly failed to give him even a fair measure of relief. It is obvious there fore that if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are given a fair trial they aro sure to bring relief and a cure.

Pearce says with re- gard to delivering milk in bottles, Now, with regard to this question, we want to tell you that the best milk- men throughout the United States and also in Canada are adopting the milk bottle. There are tens of thousandsof these bottles in use : n Canada and mil- lions of them in use in the United States. As far as any assertion being made with regard to their carrying disease, this is simplynonense twain my opinion anyone who makes such as- sertions does not know what 'he is talking about. We would like to know why there should be any more liability er half as much danger of carrying disease in bottles compared with carting the milk around in a dirty, rusty can, all through the town in the dust and dirt of the place together with an open measure hanging to the side of a not too clean carrying can, by the spout catching dust all day long. Now, in our opinion the danger. from carrying disease is far greater in such vessels than it is in the bottles. The bottles is the most perfect way of delivering milk that has ever been in- vented, And if the bottles are properly clean e andscalded i d ded 1 y the milkman, which it should be his own interest to do, there is not a particle of danger of spreading disease by the use of these bottles. Of course the bottles should be thoroughly, cleansed and washed by the parties who receive these bottles and use the milk, thee, when the bot- tles are taken home by the milkman they should be subjected to a hot steam bath or giyen a bath in hot water to a temperature of 105 to 200. Of course if this is done, there is no clanger whatever of any disease being carried unless the disease is in the cow. Another very good feature of the milk bottle is that it saves the milk- man the trouble of measuring and fus- sing with his milk, and there is also another very important feature in connection with the milk bottle .which anyone who thinks for a moment can see the advantage of, where milk is driven around town in a large vessel and drawn off through a tap the parties who get the ]est of the milk from this large vessel or the top part of it, which world of course come out last, ne is the• best P art of the milk and in that way customers do not get a uniform quality of milk. This is not often noticed and very few have any idea of the difference between the bottom of the milk can drawn off that way and the top, or if poured from the mouth of the can the last customer who gets the bottom of the can gets the���ppoorest milk. We cannot thinkthatanyhonest, con- scientious milkman would condemn the bottles unless be was too lazy or in- different as to the quality of milk his customers are getting and olid not want the trouble of putting his milk up in bottles& Another feature is that the bottle jars are much more handy and con- venient for the customer, she can set this bottle or jar away in her re- frigerator and it will keep much nicer than in an open bowl or pitcher. .Any enterprising, progressive milk- man will have no esitation in in- trod}icing and educating his customers to using the bottles. They are a great improvement over the usual sloppy way of delivering milk. Yours very truly, J. S. PE ARCB, London, Ont. ALL THREE CURED. Neil McKechnie, with his wife and Mother-in-law Cured of Con- stipation by; Dodd's Kidney Pills—These Pills Better than Ordinary Cathartics. Toronto, Aug. 30—Neil McKechnie,a popular barber of this city, has been a sufferer from chronic constipation for years. He used Dodd's Kidney Pills and not only obtained immediate relief but a permanent cure. His wife and mother-in-law were'similiarly afflicted, and used these pills withthe same good results. Ordinary cathartics give only temporary relief and leave the patient worse than before using them. While Dodd's Kidney Pills are not cathartics their peculiar action on the liver and kidneys such that the causes of consti- pation are permanently removed. Physical strength and energy con- tribute to strength of character, and both may be had by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. • 1 Growing. Children One-third of all the children die before they are five year%s old. Most of them die of some wasting disease.
