This hotel has afford- ed shelter and refreshment to many a weary traveller in bygone days, but its usefulness is now gone, and during the past five years very little business was done at this stand. The removal of this building, however will reduce the village of Ambleside to the status of a common country crossroad. atOEWS. A new traction engine has been or- dered by Wm.

NERVOUS BREAKDOWN Usually flue to Orerkwark and Worry -A Tonic is Needed. Overwork and worry gives rise to nervousness, sleeplessness, headaches, lack of ambition and lack of interest in your work, weak back, indigestion and sometimes a complete breakdown of the nervous system. On every hand you Tina victims of this kind and often they do not know what to do for them- selves. If these are the symptoms you need a tonic, and the only way to tone up the nerves is through the blood, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a direct nerve tonic because they enrich and build up the blood, and it is through the blood that the nerves are fed, Under their tonic influence nervousness, with all its attendant evils, disappear, and the worried sufferer again enjoys health and strength. Proof of the value of Dr. Williams' fink Pills in nervous troubles is given by Mrs. Lara Schiev- ing, Lundar, Man., who says: -"I was attacked with nervous trouble which almost drove me to distraction. It would be almost impossible for words to describe my condition. The least thing would startle me and leave me trembling for an hour. I had nervous headaches, and slept very badly at nights,some nights not atall.My appetite grew poor, and I was really a physical wreck. I had been to several doctors and had but taken many different medicines. without any benefit. Then I read of a case similar cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I sent for a dozen boxes fully believing it would take at least that many to cure me. You can judge of my gratitude, how- ever, when I found that after using only half a dozen boxes •I was again enjoying the best of health, and have since remained well and strong. I used the remainder of the pills among my children when they seemed out of sorts, and have found them at all times to be the very best of family medicines." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. U,SES OF SALT. If food is tasteless without salt, it is ruined with too much. Unappetizing cooking is often due to guesswork. A level teaspoonful of salt is sufficient for a quart of soup, sauce or vegetabl- es. Salt used once a day is an excellent dentifrice, tending to keep off tartar. It is said to retard receding gums. A half teaspoonful of salt added to a cup of hot water -which many persons take each morning -will make it pala- table. Salt water rots the hair, so never fail to rinse with fresh water after sea bathing, To set color in wash materials and embroidery cotton soak them in strong salt water. An excellent tonic for nervous people is to take salt rubs twice a day. As sea salt dissolves slowly, some of it can be kept in solution in a glass jar to be ready When needed. The entire salt bath is also good. Where a child is inclined to bow legs or to have a weak back, rub it night and morning with strong salt water. A faded carpet is freshene,I if wiped off with a wet cloth wrung from strong salt water. Sprinkle floor with damp- ened salt and sweep well. Bad dyspepsia can be helped by dis- solving pinches of salt on the tongue after eating, or when there .is a sense of oppression. Why Not Same in Wingham? Mr. George Ross, Chief Superinten- dent of Postoffices for Canada, was in Listowel on Thursday of last week in conference with Mr. Morphy, who went over the town with him, and the Chief Superintendent has located about up- wards of twenty points at which letter boxes will be erected for the conven- ience of citizens at all times, and par- ticularly in inclement weather, for mailing their letters near their own doors A carrier will be appointed to empty these boxes twice a day, an hour before leaving lime. No doubt the citizens of Listowel will appreciate this service as it is one which will bring the postoffice to n ?arly every citizen's door. -Listowel Standard. Wingharn is just as important a centre as Listowel and why not our town receive the same consideration as Listowel. Who will make the move?

It is freely admitted that among the High Grade Commercial Schools of Canada, the Wingharn Business College stands in the fore front. In point of attendance this college is only exceeded by three or four in Ontario. It is affi- liated with the Commercial Educa- tors' Association of Canada, and its management last year trained and placed in excellent positions, over two thousand young people thus making them the largest trainers in Canada. A few months ago Mr. Spotton visited Business Colleges in Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, New York, and Boston; and with the know- ledge of Business Science gained from his tour, he promises the most modern training that can be procured. Thou- sands of ambitious young people are studying entirely at home by means of the Home Study Department, while they follow their regular work; others are studying partly at home end will finish at college. the Wingharn Busi- ness College guarantee positions, Last year the demand for its graduates was many times the supply.

The new five dollar Dominion notes are proving quite popular. Already eight million dollars of these notes have been put in circulation. The pub- lic, however, Is not making much de- mand for the recent gold coinage, The principal demand seems to come from British Columbia. The eastern public has been too long educated in the use of bills to want gold, and the principal request is mostly for souvenirs and curiosities. YOU CAN THANK ADVERTIZING, Next time you step into the corner store, take a look around, Of all the ar- ticles on the shelveet how many were on your shopping list five years ago? Make it ten years, and you will find that most of the things you buy to -day -and could not do without -were not even made then. You men and women who buy things, let this sink in. You are better men and women because of advertising, You eat more wholesome food. You wear better clothes. Your home is bet- ter furnished. You have cleaner and more sanitary houses. You read better books and magazines, You seek more healthful amusements. Your whole standard of living has been raised --and why? Because the men who matte these better things are telling you that you will he more comfortable, happier and healthier if you use these higher grade goods. It is advertising that encourag- es the inventor to make new comforts and new utilities and enables you to buy them almost immediately after they are perfected. J. J. Hill says this "high living" costs more. True for J. J. - but is it worth more. And leaving the cost aside, do you want to go back to buying jam out of a pail, oatmeal out of a barrel, raisins out of sticky boxes, or tea exposed in an open chest? Do you regret the money you paid for a player Piano? Would you forego the new style razor? Isn'ta Tungsten worth a thous- and candles? Would you now be enjoy- ing these if enterprising manufacturers had not told you about them in their ad- vertisements? Isn't life brighter be- causewe have new and higher standards of living?
