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. Perth County Notes.

To CURE CATARRH. - Do not depend upon snuffs, inhalants or other local applications. Catarrh is a constitutional disease and can he successfully treated only by means of a constitution remedy like Hood Sarsa- parilla which thoroughly purifies the blood and removes thescrofulous taints which cense catarrh. The great num- ber of testimonials from -those who have been cured of catarrh h' Hotd's Sarsaparilla prove the uneque,1ad pow- er of this medicine t o conquer this dis- ease.

TWO I P10TURES- One Rich, Bright and Cheer- ful ; the Other Gloomy, Dark and Muddy. "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. LIZZIE HARDY, Mayfield, Ont. 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.
