-EDITORAL NOTES.
The Nationalist members from the
Province of Quebec will split on the
Government's bill for the extension of
the boundaries of Manitoba if, as indi-
cated, it contains no provision for
separate schools in the territory added
to Manitoba. The indications are that
the introduction of the measure in its
present form will see a repetition of
the performance of the remedial bill of
1896, when part of the Government's
following crossed the chamber to the
Liberal side.
Mr. E. F. B. Johnston, K. C., pre-
dicts that in twenty-five years we shall
have seen about the last of the horse.
It is a hazardous prediction. What is
dear, however, is that the day of
the horseless carriage is already here.
The automobile has passed beyond the
novelty stage. It is not any longer
merely for the pleasure of the wealthy.
It has taken a definite place in com-
merce. What effect this may have up-
on the horse within twenty-five years
it is difficult to say, although Mr.
Johnston does not seem to experience
hesitancy in making his prophetic ut-
terance.—London Free Press.
Canada is now relying on imported
eggs to prevent an absolute famine in
the fresher and better grades of that
product. The consumer has to pay a
heavy duty to the Federal exchequer
for availing himself of that resource.
If Canada produced enough eggs in
winter to make importation unneces-
sary she would have a heavy over-
production in summer, for which,
thanks to the rejectien of the market
to the south, there would be no possible
outlet except in cold•storage at an en-
ormous sacrifice of price, and the local
market would thus be swamped and
ruined. So what are you going to do
about it?—Montreal Herald.

less a person than Mr. Ducharme, pre-
sident of Le Devoir, the Nationalist or-
gan of which Mr. Henri Bourassa is
managing editor. Mr. Ducharme, was,
of course, the nominee of F. D. Monk,
who is also one of the owners of Le
Devoir, and the job he obtained for his
Nationalist pet was one of the three
Civil Service Commissionerships. A
great combination that: Nationalist

the things that the English Conserva-

Action is being taken by the Provin-
cial License Department to stop the
sale of whiskey in the unorganized dis-
tricts of New Ontario. The depart-
ment decided Friday morning to ap-
point a special officer to patrol the T.
and N. 0. Railway and the whole of
the Temiskaming district, and to make
a determined effort to stamp out the
illegal traffic. The appointment of a
special liquor officer for this district is
the direct result of the activity of the
Opposition, who, on Wednesday of last
week, through Mr. McDonald, Liberal
member for Centre Bruce, drew the
attention of the Government to the
fact that liquor was being sold in large
quantities illegally throughout New
Ontario. At that time Hon. Mr. Han-
na doubted if this was the case, but ap-
parently has come over to the Opposi-
tion view of the matter, and announced
that they would have the complained -of
districts patrolled.
A deficit of $249,100.13 in current
account is the feature of the Provin-
cial Treasurer's financial statement
submitted to the Legislature Monday
afternoon. The current revenue
mounted to more than a million above
Hon. Mr. Matheson's estimate, but his
estimate of the expenditure proved too
conservative. The total current re-
ceipts of the Province for the year
ended October 31. 1911, were $9,370,-
833.90, and the expenditure $9,619,934,-
03. The balance on hand at the first
of the year was $3,177,589.67, of this
amount $3,032,000 being at special de-
posit. The Province received in addi-
tion $2,858,701.26 by loans, sale of Cen-
tral Prison and Asylum property, sink-
ing fund on municipal securities, etc.,
making a total of receipts for the year
of $15,407,124.82. The expenditure
charged to capital account and for
statutory purposes was $4,283,273.80.
At the end of the year the amount at
special deposit was $1,442,000, and the
amount at current account $51,915.99.

LA GRIPPE'S VICTIMS
Left Weak, Miserable and prey
to Disease in Many Fornls•
One of the most treacherous diseases
afliieting the people of Canada during
the winter months is la grippe, or in-
fluenza. It almost invariably ends
with a complication of troubles. It
tortures its victims with alternate
fevers and chills, headaches and back-
aches. It leaves him an easy prey to
pneumonia, bronchitis, and even con-
sumption. Indeed the deadly after
effects of la grippe may leave the vic-
t'm a chronic invalid. You can avoid
la grippe entirely by keeping the blood
rich and red by an occasional use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. If you have
not done this and the disease attacks
you, you can banish its deadly after-
effects through the use of this same
great blood -building nerve -restoring
medicine. Here is proof of the won-
derful power of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills over this trouble.
Mr. Emmanuel Laurin, St. Jerome,
Que., says, "I was siezed with a severe
attack of la grippe. I was obliged to
stop work and remain in my bed for sev-
eral weeks, and while I appeared to get
over the first stages of the trouble, I
did not regain my usnal health. I suf-
fered from headaches, loss of appetite
and extreme weakness. I did not sleep
well at nights, and would arise in the
morning feeling tired and worn out.
This continued for about two months
during which tim I was taking treat-
ment, but apps ly without avail.
Then I was advise to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and I got a half dozen boxes.
By the time I had taken three boxes
there was a decided improvement. and
actually before I had completed the
sixth box I was enjoying my old-time
health. I was strong as ever, could
sleep well and eat well, and no longer
suffered from lassitude and headaches.
I have proved the value of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills for the pernicious
after-effects of la grippe, and can
therefore recommend them to other
sufferers."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by
going to the root of the trouble in the
blood, which they enrich, and make red
and pure. These pills cure all troubles
due to bad blood, and if you are ailing
you should start to cure yourself to-
day by taking this great medicine.
Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail
at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2 50
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont.
Gadsby, of 'The Gallery Clock' in the
Toronto Star, has been visiting the
Printing Bureau at Ottawa, the great
printing institution owned by the people
of Canada and which does most of the
printing for Parliament. As, no doubt,
many of our readers have little idea of
the magnitude of this immense estab-
lishment of which they are part owners,
we reproduce a paragraph from Gads-
by's letter which will give them light
on the subject and may make them feel
richer. He says:
The Printing Bureau gives work and
a living to nine hundred people. It is
the second largest institution of its
kind in North America. It uses all the
latest labor-saving devices. It turns
out more stuff than any dozen job -
offices put together. It has two lan-
guages to handle every day and per-
haps, a hundred languages in the course
of a year. It makes no mistakes. for
the simple reason that its mistakes
would be regarded as official and there-
fore it cannot afford to make them.
It runs like a clock. It is kept very
clean—as clean as the Moral Reform
League. When the Ottawa Improve-
ment Commission tears it down it will
be given another home, a palace of
steel and stone, worthy of its high
functions.
Once a year the Press Gallery looks
it over. The place has a professional
interest for these young men who are
not without hope that some day some-
where they may be guiding something
like it of their own. For be it known,
that among its other activities, the big
ugly, red -brick building puts out the
most widely read, non-partisan, and
altogether reliable newspaper in the
Dominion. The Canada Gazette never
publishes facts until they are facts,
and it is so careful of influencing public
opinion that it would sooner print race
tips than editorials. It carries no
patent medicine, whiskey, or cigarette
ads, and, one way and another, ie as
unexciting, prosily practical, and indo-
lently ideal as the solemnest highbrow
could wish. We can recommend the
Canadian Gazette to all conferences,
synods, and church conventions, local
or ecumenical, as the uncolored perfec-
tion to which the Canadian press must
work up.

The engineer on a Panhandle passen-
ger train, on arrival at Logansport, Ind.
recently, found a curious passenger on
the cowcatcher of his locomotive in the
shape of a live pig. He said the animal
had probably been trying to find a warm
place and climbed on the cow -catcher at
some of the stations along the line.
Wt en found the pig was half frozen,
but recovered when put in a warm pen.
Interesting Horse Case.
Having purchased a heavy horse -from
Mr. Jos. Bilger for $220.00 on the alleg-
ed understanding that it was a quiet
and serviceable animal, but discovering
as he afterwards claims that he got a
kicker of the worst kind loaded on to
him, Mr. E.J. Skelton brought action
in the Division Court here on Tuesday
to recover $100 from Bilger for alleged
breach of warrantry. The case was the
only one on the docket and occupied al-
most the entire day in its hearing.
Many witnesses were sworn and a lot
evidence taken oa the merits and de-
merits of the horse. The bulk of the
testimony seemed to show that the an-
imaltivas an infamous kicker, one wit-
ness claiming that it would strike with
its front and kick with its back feet.
The horse, it seems, is now on Mr.
Skelton's farm in the West, but feeling
that he had been soaked on the deal, he
sued for a refund of $100. Judge Klein
after hearing the arguments adduced,
gave Skelton judgement for $75 and
costs. D. Robertson, K. C. for plain-
tiff; 0. E. Klein, defendant.—Bruce
Times.
The chances are good for a general
election within two years. There is -a
growing belief that the Borden Minis-
try is going to follow redistribution
with an appeal to the people. Redis-
tribution will take place next session,
so that an election could be held in the
spring of 1913. If there is a gerry-
mander. the Liberal majority in the
Senate is likely to throw the bill out.
The determination of the Government
not to finally deal with any of the big
questions has given rise to the belief
that an election is comparatively im-
minent. The final touch was • given
that belief by the form in which the
resolution for the extension of the
Manitoba boundaries has been given
notice of. There is no mention in it of
where the line is to be run between
Ontario and Manitoba. With McBride
pulling one way and Bourassa another
on the naval question, with the church
and the lodges pulling in different direc-
tions over the ne temere and school
questions, there does not seem to be a
more likely course open to the Govern-
ment than a snap verdict immediately
after rediatribation.
Deafne a Cannot be Cured.
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one war to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in-
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is dos-
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca-
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflam-
med condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by ca-
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

Receipts, 83 ears, with 1,619 head of

Trade was fair, with prices about
steady with last week, but not any
higher. There was not any too much
snap to the market, and had the run
been any heavier than it was it is just
possible that prices would. have suffer-
ed a little. Practically everything was
sold, however, with prices generally
maintained.
