WEAK NERVES
EDITORAL NOTES.
An investigation of the public owner-
ship system of telephones in Great
Britain will be made this summer b3
Hon. L B. Lucas with a view to Pro.
vineial application of the information
received. The British telephone system
is now under the Postal Department
and will provide abundant opportunity
for measuring the value of Govern-
ment control.
This will probably end the Borden -
Rogers attempt of making it appear
that the West regards reciprocity as
dead. The lights were put out at the
Conservative offices in Regina, and the
crowds on the street were cheering for
"Laurier and Scott!" The performan-
ces of the electors at the polls have
convinced the Torics who bad set out to
capture the Province that reciprocity is
indeed a very lively corpse. —Hamilton
Times.
In the Provincial elections on Thurs-
day the later stages of which were
fought out purely on Federal issues,
Saskatchewan returned Liberalism,
and Hon. Walter Scott to power by an
overwhelming majority. In the last,
House the Scott Government held 27'.
seats to the opposition's 14, the ratio
being two to one. In the next House,
according to returns so far received,
the Scott Government will hold about
46 seats to the Opposition's 8, the ratio
being nearly six to one. Forty-two seats
are sure for the Government, five
seats are sure for the Conservatives.
There are two deferred elections,
which will doubtless go to the Govern-
ment, and there are five seats from
which practically no returns have yet
been received. Of these if the Liberal
candidates win only half, which is ex-
pected, the standing will be 46 to 8.
Two things contributed most directly
to the victory for the Liberals. The
first was the possession of a popular
cry in the reciprocity issue, and second
was the good administrative record of
the Scott Government.
The Toronto Methodist Conference
has declined to be stampeded into a
thoroughgoing denunciation of Sunday
band concerts, one of the clergymen
protesting against the idea of making
ten thousand commandments, while
people had trouble enough keeping the
original ten. On no point is the aver-
age clergyman - or perhaps it would be
more accurate to say the clergymen in
Synod, Conference, or Assembly—more
at variance with the rank and file of bis
church's adherents than in the matter
of Sunday observance. Opposition to
Sunday cars, Sunday steamboats, Sun-
day band concerts, and a dozen other
conveniences or recreation is not to be
found in the man in the pew. It
comes from the man in the pulpit, and
has the unfortunate effect of making
the man in the pew sometimes contemp-
tuous of the man in the pulpit, where
he should hold nothing but respect.
Moreover, there is to be considered the
man who is neither in the pew nor the
pulpit—that is to say, the man in the
street, or the man in his shirtsleeves
and slippers in the garden or on his
verandah. What about him? He was
once the boy, or perhaps the man, in
the pew, and he largely outnumbers
men in pew and pulpit together. He is
a decent citizen, and it would be agood
thing if the churches could get him
b :e.k again. He was driven out by the
tendency to make ten thousand com-
mandments grow where ten grew be-
fore. Canadian Collier's
At St. Andrews some years ago an
cid farmer and his ploughman were
carting sand from the seashore. They
were behind the target on the rifle -
range, but hidden by a bank of sand
from u party of volunteers, who were
then on foot at practice. A stray bul-
let struck the ploughman on the leg,
and he immediately dropped, exclaim-
ing "I'm shot!" Without more ado
the farmer scrambled up the bank and,
waving his hand to the volunteers,
shouted—"}ley, lads, stop that, will
ye? You've shot a man, and it micht
hae been the horse!" Scottish Ameri-
can.

The Blood Supply Must be Made
Rich, Bed and Pure
When you build up the blood you
strengthen the nerves, because the
nerves get their food through the blood.
You cannot reach the nerves with med-
icine except through the blood—this is
a great medical truth few people real-
ize. Nervous people are pale people.
They are nervous because they are
pale. The blood is so thin and watery
that it cannot nourish the nerves.
Starved nerves mean sciatica, neural-
gia, nervous prostration, paralysis.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People are a real nerve tonic. They
supply plenty of nourishing red blood
to the exhausted nerves, thus enabling
them to do the work nature intended
they should do. This is the simple
secret of the success of Dr. William's
Pink Pills in curing nerve troubles.
As to their value in cases of sciatica,
Mrs. Job Palmer, Fenelon Falls, Ont.,
says: "For seven weeks I suffered
untold agony from sciatica. I tried
everything to ease the pain, but it
steadily grew worse. Liniments had
no more effect upon the trouble than
water. Then the doctor told me to ap-
ply a hot iron to the afiiic d part and I
did so morning after mo ing, but my
leg had become so numb with the pain
that I could hardly feel a heat of the
iron. I never expected to be able to
walk again my leg wa so drawn up.
I had tried so many t Ings that I had
given up hope, yet ikt he urging of my
brother I decided tol y Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. To my surprise in two
weeks I was able to stand on my feet
with but little pain, and soon after I
was able to walk about again. I con-
tinued taking the Pills for about two
months, but some time before I discon-
tinued their use my leg had been norm-
al again, and the agony of the trouble
had disappeared, and I have not since
had a twinge of it. Words fail to ex-
press my gratitude for what the Pills
did for me and I must strongly recom-
mend them to all sufferers from sciat-
ica."
The every day mission of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills is to cure cases like
the above, and they will not disappoint
if given a fair trial. Sold by all medi-
cine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a
box or six boxes for$2.50 from The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,Ont.

Wingbarn, July 8t
If, unforunately, you drop your
watch in water, put it at once into; a
cup of alcohol and keep it there until
you get it to a watchmaker. If there
isn't any alcohol athand, keep it soak-
ing in water until you can get it to a
watchmaker. As long as it is under
water the air will not get to it and it
cannot rust.
LIVE STOUR MARKETS.
Toronto, July 15—Union Stock Yards
—Receipts were 92 loads, with 1,686
head of cattle, 560 sheep and lambs,
325 hogs, and 22 calves.
The hot weather continues to have a
very depressing effect on the market.
Trade to -day was so slow that dealers
declared it to be the dullest market
they had ever experienced at this mar-
ket.
Prices were off fully 25 cents on
heavy cattle, and from 15 cents to 25
cents on the general run of butcher
cattle. A load of choice export sold at
$7.75, which would probably have sold
at $8 last week.
There were one or two extra choice
loads of butcher cattle, which sold at
$7.50, but these were the exception to
the general rule, the general run of
medium butcher going at from $6.50 to
$6.60.
Choice spring lambs are firmer at $8
to $9.25. Sheep steady, light ewes,
$4.25 to $4.75: heavy sheep and bucks,
$3 to $4. Hogs are firmer and 15 cents
higher than last week, at $7.65 f. o. b.,
and $8 fed and watered.
