Do not expect the census e wuera-
toe to tell you anything about your
t neighbor, ,because -he is sworn to sec-
re.^:y. It is necessary to answer all
questions truthfully. In Exeter Mes-
ers. Archie Davis, Wm, Davis and
Thomas Ap,leton are doing the work.
They are all returned boys.
Church Union is on of the big top-
ics be'ng discussed at the various con-
feaences and assemblies being held at
present, and emphasis as being laid

Tlne Ontario Government is about
tu* borrow twenty-two mUlion dollars
mere and it s thus the debt of On -
,to going ;up by leaps and bounds.
A number of the large borrowings of
the past leve not yet been absorbed
by the buyers of bonds, and as acon-
sequence it will be necessary to go
to the United States for the money,
this costing the province thousands of
dollars extra, owing eto :the premium
on
American money. Wit not tine
to call a halt to this extraragenee?
THINNER IN W INTER.
Most people think that in the sum-

ease is the case, From September
to ;larch the human frame undergoes
a gradual ui;iian.g process, because
mere is a greater oai1 on the reserves
of d a: to n haat the: heat ' of the

onntimes to do ;so until the end of
