THE SCHOOL BOOKS.
It is charged against the Educa-
tional Department of the Ontario
Government that the text books used
in the schools cost the public from 50
to 100 per cent. more than what they
would cost if published by open com-
petition.
Hon, Mr. Ross replies,that the books
cost less now than the class of books
did that were used thirty years ago.
Be pleads also that a. lesser number
of books is now in use than at that
time.
This reply will not satisfy intelli-
gent people who are able to reason on
the world's progress.
In the old days to which Mr. Ross
refers there was no authorized system
of test books for Canada. Each Board
of Trustees ordered such books as they
preferred, whether printed hi Canada
or other countries. This will account
for the greater varietyof books,but not
a greater number used by individuals.
Mr. Ross is therefore dishonest in
seeking to make it appear that the
burden on the parents has been lessen-
ed because the variety of books in use
now is less than the variety in use
thirty years ago. It is a brazen so-
phistry, used in place of a straight-
forward argument, with the intent to
deceive the judgment of tbe people.
Moreover, the cost of paper and
other printing material bas been less-
ened by from 100 to 200 per cent. from
the period which Mr. Ross speaks of.
And the market for such books has
increased by about one thousand fold.
'4•s• ..A. publisher could print these school
• books now for less than half the cost
of thirty years ago, had he only the
same market as then for their sale,
owing to the cheapening of material.
But he has now the further adven-
• Lege of a thousand -fold larger mar-
ket, and what is more to his advan-
tage a law which compels the children
of school age to use these self same
Set of school books,
whether they like
it or not. The market is a certain
one; and the price of each book is
fixed by the Department.
By this close arrangement the Gov-
ernment "milks" the school book trade
of the Province to the extent of $10,000
a year, and still the publishers are
growing enormously wealthy on the
'monopoly which has been given them.
The public of Ontario have submit-
ted to thio extortion for years past
because they saw no other way. AIr.
Whitney is now opening the way to
smash this shameful and shameless
Book Combine. It is by smashing the
power of the men who have .organized
and nurtured it.

"Only the Best"
Should be your motto when you
need a medicine. Do not be induced
to take any substitute when you call
for Hood's Sarsaparilla. Experience
has proved it to be the best. It is an
honest medicine, possessing actual
and unequalled merit. Be wise and
profit by the experience of other peo-
ple.
Hoods Pills are the favorite family,
cathartic, easy to take, easily to oper-
ate.
PEOPLE PRAISE IT.
DEAR SIRs,—I have often had coughs and
colds, as well as bronchitis. Norway Pine
Syrup cures me every time I recommend it as
a perfect Dura for all throat and lung troubles.

To Advertisers.
The benefit derived from an aclver
tisehnent depends altogether upon the
number of 'persons who read it. To
reach the greatest number of readers
at the least possible expense, is a
question that should be considered
very carefully by business men. A
thousand small bills printed in Tor-
onto or London, and distributed in
this sectiou, would be just as effective
as if the bill had been printed in town.
There is not a doubt about that, but if
you want to reach the people in their
houses, uewspaper advertising is the
only successful way. To get the best
results use the paper with the largest
circulation, and thegreatest amount of
local news. Circulation is the proper
basis upon whichpricesshould befixed.
If a newspaper with a circulation of
2,000 charges $100 per year, then one
with acirculation of 600 would be entitl-
ed to $30. An advertiser should take
these facts into careful consideration,
when making contracts. Another fre-
quent loss to advertisers is in the use
of several papers when one covers the
ground. THE TIMES is read by more
people in Exeter, Usborne, Stephen,
Hay, the northern part of Biddulph
and McGillivray than all other county
papers combined, and an advertise-
ment placed in it pill be found the
most effectual way in which to reach
the people.
Forty five earn ples of colored cloth
are shca:vn on the Diamond • Dyes
sample card from which can be pro
duced over one hundred good, solid
colors. Every dyed sample is full rich
brilliant and fast, showing: just what
any woman of ordinary intelligence i
can do with Diamond Dyes. This is
picture number one.
The common imitation dyes, and
dyes composed of soap grease as a
principal ingredient, shots but it dozen
.or fifteen colors, and so imperfect, in
color tone and power that the small
collection looks gloomy, despondent
and sickly to any individual with a
taste for the beautiful. This is picture
number tsvo. • . .
To those in doubt we say, send your
address to Wells & Richardson' Co.,
Montreal, for a color card of. Diamond
Dyes it will be sent free.
The Diamond Dyes being the easiest
to dye with give all the grand results
in beauty and fastness of color that
the heart can possibly desire..

Chain
�)
The family circle
is . never so happy
(��
after the chain is
l) broken and a link
taken. t�
chains are areme strong,
(1 others weak. Have
you a good family
history? Or is
there a tendency to coughs,
throat or bronchial troubles,
weak Lungs? Has a brother,
sister, parent or near relative
had consumption? Then your
family chain is weak.
Strengthen it. Take SCOTT'S
EMULSION of Cod-liver Oil
with Hyypophosphites. It
makes rich blood, givesstrength
and vigor to weak lungs and
run-down constitutions. With
its aid the system throws off
acute coughs and colds. It pre-
vents the chain from breaking.
Shall we send you a book about this,
free?

It also cured me of dyspepsia, from.
which I *as suffering at the time, so.
that I feelnow like a new man.
I have tried several - remedies for -
rheumatism, some of which did me tv
certain amount of good, but nothing
that I haye taken has done so much
for :me has your. Phrenoline, and I
have much pleasure in recomrnendin
