EDITORAL NOTES.
ST. DIEt.11NN TONIC TREATMENT
Miss Mabel McDonald, of Wingham,
is visiting with friends here.
Mrs. Bronscombe, of Cargill, is vis-
iting at Mr. Thomas Todd's, and with
other friends.
Local young people hired carryalls and
drove to Black Horse Lake recently,
and enjoyed themselves at a picnic
there.
Rain was badly needed here and the
several heavy rains which fell lately
were most welcome. It has hindered
farmers with their hay, but pasture
fields, roots, vegetables and fruits look
much better. Without the showers
there would have been no raspberries,
and now there is good crop. A large
number of pickers go out, and return

Union Station, Toronto, at nine o'clock chair the minutes of last meeting were
Monday night on the Provincial Liberal iread and adopted on motion of Messrs•

itinerary includes practically all points
at interest in the "Greater Ontario."
Many statements of facts have eman-
ated from the office of the secretary of
the Kansas State Board of Agriculture,
that have become orthodox throughout
the United States, but none were ever
fraught with more truth than thestate-
ment that "by far too many of our
graduates are a lotof swaggering, soft -
palmed, lawn -tennis, basketball, pink
tea, bridge -whist, cigarette and pool -
hall specialists; ;,parasites instead of
producers, of no earthly use to the
world in which they exist, with a con-
tempt for those who live by real work,
absorbed with the idea that they are
made of a clay vastly superior to that
of those who paid their way, and who,
by their life -time of strenuous toil,
pinching economies and many priva-
tions made their schooling possible. -
Farmers' Advocate.
The judicial committes of the Privy
Council on Monday decided the Quebec
"ne telnere" marriage question in favor
of the Province of Quebec, and against
the recent proposed lc gislatirn of the
Dominion Parliament, which under-
took to provide that no law or canon-
ical decree or custom of any province
should have force or effect to invalidate
any marriage performed by any 'person
competent to perform a marriage cer-
emony. The papal decree declared
that the marriage of two Catholics or
of a Catholics with a Protestant must
be performed before or with the sanc-
tion of the Catholic parish priest. The
lord chancellor in delivering judgment
said that the proposed bill was
beyond the powers of the Dominion
Parliament.
Sometimes a Canadian makes his
fortune in England, although usually
the story reads the other way. A
Toronto contractor employed a certain
man as foreman in the building of
houses. Ten years ago the foreman
left him, only to reappear recently in
the yards of his employer a wealthy
man. He had made his fortune in
England building houses on the Cana-
dian plan. Instead of erecting struc-
tures aimed to last for centur-
ies, he built them so as to last a gener-
ation or two; They contained from six
to eight rooms; had furnaces and other
modern conveniences. He sold them at
from £500 to £1,000, and in his ten
years' experience could not build them
quickly enough. The English people of
that particular region were bidding for
his houses before the foundations were
finished. Now he is taking six months'
�
, Sometimes ometimes it pays to go east
to make money. -Canadian Collier's.

FOR THE STOMACH`
The Modern Meth!ld Most Suc-
cessfi,l in Treating Indigesiion.
The old-fashioned methods of treat-
ing indigestion and stomach troubles
are being discarded. The trouble with
the old-fashioned methods was that
when the treatment was stopped the
trouble returned in an aggravated
form.
The modern method of curing indi-
gestion and other stomach troubles is
to tone up the stomach to do its nor-
mal work. Every step toward recovery
is a step gained not to be lost again.
The recovery of the appetite, the dis-
appearance of pain, the absence of gas
all are steps on the road to health
that those who have tried the tonic
treatment remember distinctly. Dr
Williams' Pink Pills are a tonic medi-
cine, every constituent of which is
helpful in building up the digestive or-
gans, and is therefore the very best
remedy for chronic cases of stomach

For years the press of Ontario has,
with cheerful and unselfish short-sight-
edness, called upon one and all to note
the prosperity, growth and resources
of the western Provinces, with greater
resources, fertility and opportunities
undeveloped. we have been continually
drained of our young men, our farmers,
our school teachers and mechanics, un-
til to -day there is a positive dearth of
men in many occupations. Ontario has
more than done her duty by her young-
er sister Provinces. -St. Thomas Times.
LIVE STOCK MARKETS.
Toronto, July 29 -Union Stock Yards
-Receipts were 142 loads, with 3,131
head of cattle, 579 sheep and lambs,
22 hogs, 162 calves and 18 horses.
The butcher market was good and
active to -day with prices steady to firm
at the advances made on last Thurs-
day's market, or 10c to 15c higher than
a week ago to -day.
The run was very heavy with over
3,000 head of cattle, the bulk of which
were medium to good butcher, and
probably a third were light to good ex-
port. The demand for export was very
quiet, several choice loads failing to
get bids up to the noon hour. The old -
country quotations were not quite satis-
factory at the present time, several
local shippers, it is reported, experienc-
ing losses on recent shipments.
The activity of the butcher trade
made up for the quieter export market,
and several loads of the choicest offer-
ings of butcher sold strong at $7 up to
$7.40. One load of extra choice light
exporters was bought for local killing
at $7.75. The demand is for good qual-
ity, and common cattle were inclined
to drag at the lowest prices.
Sheep and lambs steady and unchang-
ed.
Hogs were firm and are quoted 10c
higher at $8.15 f. o. b. and $3.15 fed

EVERYBODY LIKES HER
There is a type of girl that everybody
likes. Nobody can tell exactly why,
but after you have met her you turn
away to some other woman and say:
"Don't you like Miss Grosvenor?"
Now the reason you like her is a subtle
one; without knowing alt about her you
feel just the sort of girl she is.
She is the girl who appreciates the
fact that she cannot always have the
first choice of everything in the world.
She is the girl who is not aggressive
and does not find joy in inciting aggres-
sive people.
She is the girl who has tact enough
not to say the very thing that will
cause the skeleton ip her friend's closet
to rattle his bones.
She is the girl who, whether it is
warm or cold, clear or stormy, finds no
fault with the weather.
She is the girl who, when you invite
her to any place, compliments you by
looking her best.
She is the girl who makes this world
a pleasant place because she is so pleas-
ant herself.
And, by-and-by, when you come to
think of it, isn't she the girl who makes
you feel she likes you, and therefore
you like her?-Sel.

wEsr WAWANos,e
One by one the pioneers of West
Wawanosh are passing away. One of
the earliest comers of these, bars.
Elizabeth Anderson, relict of the late
Arch. Anderson, passed to her rest at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Hill, in
Milton. Mrs. Anderson knew the trials
and difficulties and also the joys of
pioneer life in the early days, having
come some sixty years ago as a young
bride with her husband, and settled on
the bush farm in West Wawanosh, now
the home of her son, J. D. Anderson.
She was a woman of sterling consistent
Christian character and possessed in a
marked degree courage, cheerfulness,
sympathy and kindness, and was always
willing to lend a helping hand to those
in need. Retiring from the farm some
years ago she, with. her husband, resid-
ed
about five years in the village of
Lucknow, and later with herdaughter
in Milton. She leaves behind her a
grown-up family of sons and daughters,
only two of whom, Arch. and Joseph,
now reside in Wawanosh. The funeral
which was lnrgely attended, took place/
on Friday, July 19th, from the old farm
home -for St, Helens cemetery, the
funeral services being conducted by
Rev. Mr. McIntosh, of St. Helens.
