Merchant -Tailor Clothes Look Better They Always Have == They Always Will That elusive something called style cannot be made in a factory. Good tailoring -the draping and cutting and modeling of cloth -is an Art, nothing less, Every good merchant tailor believes this with all his soul. Re knows it from his own year's experience, patience and toil as a craftsman. He knows that merely to fit is but a small part of a good tailor's art. The right sort of clothes -the clothes yon want - appeal as much through fitness as through fit. Through an air of . distinction and elegance a good tailor can express the best there is in you. Ile can make your clothes bespeak class. He eau preserve individuality; He can give personality a chance. Yon want such clothes and they can be had in only ono way -they must be cut and made expressly for you, from faultless fabrics,' by that artist of merchants -a merchant tailor. These are tailoring facts. In neglecting them you wrong opportunity. E.

The Elliott Business College, To- ronto, is taking a forward step this year. The attendance has been the greatest in the history of the School and hundreds of students have accept- ed good positions during the year, The College issues a very handsome prospectus. Write to Mr. W« J. Elliott, the Principal, for One. Plowing By Steam. Mr, Harry Tyndall, the wellknown thresher and farmer of Tuckersmith, near Seaforth, has been snaking some experiments in plowing with his trac- tion engine, and demonstrating very fully that with a good strong engine, plowing can be done cheaper by steam than by any other'method, provided of course that the 'fields are not too small. On Tuesday, July 26, at 0� o'clock, Mr. Tyndall commenced plow- ll ing a field of sod, which is 80 rods long, containing 14 acres, and finished the work the next day, having spent in all 18 hours at the work. Part of this time he used two Cockshut two furrow gangs, and the balanee of the time he had three two furrow gangs turning six furrows. The amount of coal used was 1515 pounds, or about 108 pounds of coal per acre. --- [Seaforth News. -One million persnns in the States to -day are confirmed inebriates. Of these one-third die yearly as a 'result of drink, yet this number is annually made up by recruits to the army of drunkards. Thus the total enrollment of ,1,0001000 is kept up, A Centenarian. John McCurdy of Elderslie, who de- parted this life on Monday, had reached the advanced age of 101 years and was, therefore, not only the old- est inhabitant of this locality, but one of the oldest in the Dominion of Can- ada. Deceased was a native of Ire- land, having been born within sight of the Giant's Causeway, and was a pioneer settler of the Tp, of Elderslie. =[Chesley Enterprise. A Good School. The Central Business College of Stratford le the largest and undoubt- edly the best school of its kind in Western Ontario. Ib has no superior in Canada. The Fall term commences on Monday, Aug. 20th, and those in- terested should write the college for its free catalogue. The school has a reputation for doing good work and the graduates of its Commercial, Shorthand or Telegraphy departments secure good positions and meet with success. Two Aldermen nought. The most sensational session that the City Council of Guelph ever held was their meeting last week, when Ald. C...W. Kelly and Commissioner .1. J. Drew, IL 0., came to blows over an animated discussioncion that arose over the question of whether or not the radial railway tommissionere. Drew and Ryan, and their chairman, S. W. Lyon, be permitted to take seats at the board, to discuss with the Aldermen a question Irelative to the Paopla'a Railway. Great Bail Storm. On August 4th, the local train on the C.P.R. from Ottawa to, Prescott, due there at 4.50 p.m., arrived to- night minus almost every pane of glass. About 3 p.m., when pulling out of Manotic, the train ran into a cloud -burst, accompanied by a terrific wind. The train could be felt rocking heavily. The hail was so heavy that every window in the ears was broken instantly. One lady, who had her watch on her wrist, reported the hail having come through the window, and in addition, had sufficient force to break the crystal on her watch. -There seems now to be a strong probability of Wellington and Wat- erloo counties building between them a fine sanitarium for the treatment of tuberculosis patients. IIAVB YOU A BAD SORE? If so, remember these facts---Zam- Buk is now the most widely used balm in Canada, yet four years ago it was unknown here ! Why has it become so popular? .13ecause.it heale sores, cures skin diseases, and does what is claimed for it. Why not let it heal your sore ? Remember that Zam-Duk is altogether different to the ordinary ointments.' Most of these consist of animal fats. lam-Buk contains no trace of any animal fat, or any mineral matter, It is absolutely herbal. Remember that Zatn-Puk is at the same tittle healing, soothing, and antiseptic. Kills poison instantly, and all harmful germs. It is suitable alike for recent injuries and diseases, and chronic ,sores, ulcers, ete. Test how' different and superior rim -Mk really is. All druggists and stores at 50c a box. You are warned against harm- ful mbstitutes and ivaitxt one. A Queer Mail Route. One of the most remarkable mail routes in the world is that which a letter journeys in getting from Beebe Plain, Vt., to Beebe PIain, Quebec, Canada. While the two offices are within ten feet of each other -are located in the same room, in fact -a letter mailed from one office to the other must make a trip of 291 miles - 07 in Canada and the rest in the United States. The plain, old fash- ioned store building, which is situated on the International boundary line, contains both the united States and Canadian offices. There „fare separate entrances to each, but both are in the same room, have the same lobby, and there are no partitions to mark the division between the domain of Uncle Sam and the possessions of King George. ''If you .mail a letter from the '''Vermont side addressed to the Quebec side," ears the postmaster "it goes from here to the junction then to Newport, then to White River Junction and back to Lenn- oxville, Quebec, over the Boston & Maine. There it is transferred to the Grand Trunk and goes to a south- bound mail pouch, and conies to Stanstead Junction, and then back to this same building, a distance of 291 miles, If we wish to mail a letter from the American aide to Derby Lane it must go to White River Junetion, and then come back over the official route." -Becton now uses oil on its roads to Illy the dust. One application fasts $50, put the townspeople there say the experiment is working out splendidly and is economical.
