H. B. EUWWIOTT, PIIBLIUFM AND PROPYETDa. THURSDAY MARCH 28, 1912. THE TORY ECONOMIST. MIXED MARRIAGES IN ONTARIO. Mixed marriages were numerous in Ontario in 1910, according to the re- port of the registrar -General issued on Monday. Of 3,586 Roman catholic bridegrooms, 665 married Protestants. Of 3,705 Roman Catholic brides, 814 married Protestants. Apparently more women than men married outside their church. Thirty-one of the men who took Roman Catholic brides did not lay claim to any particular faith, and two Roman Catholic bridegrooms were wed- ded to Jewesses. Marriages in 1910 totalled 24,036, and the statistics show that the mar- rying age is from 20 to 29 for men. During that year 4,471 women married between 15 and 19; 9,802 between 20 and 24; and 5,194 between 25 and 29. Of all the deaths in the province 20.8 per cent were children. At present in Toronto it is estimated four babies die per day. The death rate from tuberculosis shows a steady decrease. In 1881 the death rate per 100,000 population was 121; in 1891, it was 112; in 1901, it went up to 150, and 1910 it was 102. The marriages in 1910 exceeded those of 1909 by 375, the total for 1910 being 2,293. That day may be counted as lost which does not see the Tory party doing in offiee what it condemned in Opposi- tion. One of its latest acts of incon- sistency has reference to gifts to mem- bers of Parliament and Senators. There is a tradition arounr1 the corri- dors of the House of Commons that when Mr. C. A. Magrath, the former Tory member for Lethbridge, first came to Parliament his idea of they dignity of that august body received a rude shock when he found that pocket- knives, valises and trunks were among the perquisites of the members and Senators. It is reported that Mr. Ma- grath refused to take his share of these sedue*i••e presents, and that he made a vigorous protest to his leader, Mr. R. L. Borden, against a continuance of the practice. Whether the story be true or not, the fact is that Mr. Borden spoke to Sir Wilfrid Laurier about the matter, and Sir Wilfrid had a resolution passed by the Board of Internal Econ- omy prohibiting all gifts of trunks, valises, etc., for the future. It may be explained that the Board of Internal Economy is composed of four Cabinet Ministers and the Speaker of the House of Commons. The present members of Parliament, who were aware of the step taken at the request of Mr. Borden in 1909, were not a little surprised when they receiv- ed the following note a few days ago: - "Ottawa, March 19, 1912. "Dear Sir, -Samples of trunks and valises will be in Room 59, House of Commons, Wednesday and Thursday. Please call and select. "J. A Currie." A visit to Room 52 revealed an ani- mated scene. Trunks, valises, and other leather goods were scattered about, and a group of former Tory economists were busily engaged exami- ning the samples and making selections from the best to be had. As the reso- lution passed by the Board of Internal Economy under the Laurier Govern - 'rent has not been rescinded, the ex - I IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD because it is made of the purest and best in- gredients, because it contains more healing, strengthening and up - building material than any other Emulsion, and because it is a perfect product of a scientific- ally perfect process.

And while I tossed upon my bed, old Bilkins came, with comfort sweet; he placed a poultice on my head and gently fanned my fevered feet. He gladly helped the weary frau, and from her heart the sadness drove; he fed the horse and milked the cow, and whacked up cordwood for the stove. For weary weeks he did my chores while I was tangled with di- sease: and when I'd utter thanks he roared disgustedly: "Forget it, please!" Old Winklefoot has wide renown for freely giving princely sums; he gave a fountain to the town and built a home for busted bums. He is the boss phil- anthropist, whom all the papers adver- tise; he surely will be sorely missed when he kicks up his heels and dies. But when I had the heaves and lay with plaster casts upon my ears, he never carne to say good -day, although he's known me fifty years. To see a neighbor in distress, and help him with a song and dance, won't win the plaud- its of the press or make your cherished fame advance. Miss 11[atter was given a verdict for $5,500 against the C. P. R. at Orange- ville Assizes for the loss of her Leg in a crossing accident. Mrs. Katherine McArthur Logie widow of the late John Logie, and one of the oldest and best known residents of Glengarry County, died Saturday at the family home near Green Valley, aged 86 years. Alex. Green, sentehced to Kingston Penitentiary for five years, and recent- ly released, claims to have the confes- sions of other convieto, and other evid- ence, to prove him innocent of the charge of robbing the C. P.R. station at Wood- stock. Do Not Use Harsh Purgatives — A Tonic is All You Need. Not exactly sick --but not feeling quite well. That is the way most people feel in the spring. Easily tir- ed, appetite fickle, sometimes head- ache and a feeling of depression. Pim- ples or eruptions inay appear on the skin, or there may be twinges of rheu- matism or neuralgia. Any of these indicate that the blood is out of order - that the indoor life has left its mark upon you and may easily develop into more serious trouble. Do not dose yourself with purgatives, as so many people do, inithe hope that you can put your blood/right. Purga- tives gallop through tsystem and weaken instead of giving strength. Any doctor will tell you this is true. What you needin sp ing is a tonic that will make new band build up the nerves. Dr. Wi i s' Pink Pills is the only medicine th can do this speedily, safely and surely. Every dose of this medicine makes new blood which clears the skin, strengthens the appetite and makes tired, depressed men, women and children bright, active and strong. Mrs. Maude Bagg. Lemberg, Sask., says: "I can unhesitatingly recom- mend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a blood builder and tonic.

Always be Early. One of the most embarrassing things a country editor has to contend with is the disposition of people to wait until the last moment of going to press and then rush in with their items which they "want in this week sure." This is particularly the case with those who wish to make announcements which they exe to tohave inserted gratis. People do not reflect upon on the dollar, simply because the fact that the paper is made up during the whale week and that its capacity is Limited to just so much and the matter gauged accord- ingly. If the editor should await the convenience of those who have some- thing they want published he would not get his paper out until the next week, and then he would have to delay. two or three days until some kind friend had made up his mind about a notice he wants in but which he has not been able to prepare just to suit him' A great many people do not get their notices published in consequence of this disposition to put off to the last minute, but those not interested never notice the omission -the paper appears on time and the world moves on just the same. Christopher Bennington, aged 70, dropped dead at Stratford. Dundas Liberals nominated Mr. Wes- ley Hamilton of Chesterville for the Commons and Mr R. Stewart Muir of Toronto for the Legislature. The body of a Greek priest named Czerknowsky was found on the railway near Melville, Sask., anda farmer nam- ed Aurischuk has been arrested on sus- picion of murder. LIVE STOCK MARKETS.

That cold rain water and soap will remove machine grease from washable fabrics. That fish may be scalded much easier by first dipping them into boiling water for a minute. That fresh meat beginning to sour will sweeten if placed out of doors in the cool air over night. That milk which has changed may be sweetened or rendered fit for use again by stirring in a little soda. That boiling starch is much improved by the addition of sperm or salt, or both, or a little gum arabic dissolved. Thoroughly wetting the hair once or twice with a solution of salt and water will keep it from falling out. That salt fish are quickest and best freshened by soaking in sour milk. That one teaspoonful of ammonia to a teacup of water •applied with 'a rag will clean silver or gold jewellery per- fectly. That salt will curdle new milk, hence in preparing porridge, gravies, etc., salt should not be added i ntil the dish IFI -RE SA i s prepared. That paint stains that are dry and old may be removed from cotton or woollen goods with chloroform. It is a good plan to first cover the spot with olive oil or butter. That clear boiling water will remove tea stains; pour the water through the stain and thus prevent it spreading over the fabric. Apply kerosene with a rag when you are about to put your stoves away for the summer, and it will prevent them from rusting" Gas heaters treated in this manner will possibly smoke a little when first lighted in the fall, Four of the five men elected to the Owen Sound Town Council on Saturday are opposed to Local Option.
