EDITORIAL NOTES
pete with the British and American im-
ported paper of the finer qualities. The
process of manufacture from bamboo is
a more expensive one than that from
wood. It is thought that experiments
may cheapen the process, and the sup-
ply
of the cane is practically inexhausti-
ble. Moreover, the bamboo is a plant
thtst can readily be cultivated. If any
particular species is considered the best
for paper -making purposes, it can easily
be grown in any quantity. Asia, Africa,
America, and Oceania all have forests
of it. For paper -making the cane is
cut up into small pieces, of one or two
inches, then boiled with sulphate of
lime, bleached by electricity, . washed,
machine rolled, and pressed into tissue
form, and dried by steam
Diseu=sing Sir James Whitney's at-
titude on the tax reform propiasal's,' the
Ottawa Citizen, Conservative, says: -
"Had he (Sir James Whitney)been re-
tained by the Liberals he could hardly
have served their interests better in op-
posing a reform which increasingly ap-
peals to the intelligence of the country.
The one certain fact is the necessity of
the Conservative party insisting upon
such change of leadership or of policy
as shall put it in line with the progress
of the time."
No More Open Minds Around There.
[Toronto Star.]
It would appear that the other day
lion W. J. Hanna left the door of his
mind open for a moment with the re-
sult that a modern and progressive idea
n tax reform ran through it, as a
ouse scurries across a room and dis-
ppears.
"What is running through my mind
s this," said he, and he intimated
that perhaps it might be wise to have
a fixed lower assessment on improve-
ents.
No a checkerboard system, you un-
erstand-not an arrangement that
ould permit municipalities to decide
or themselves whether they would re-
uce the taxation on improvements and
crease that on land. Sir James had
d against that, and so was bar-
r. Hanna noticed this thought
rough his mind, he told the
ers of the special committee
stature about it. They at-
- importance to it, because Hon.
. J. Hanna was chairman of the com-
mittee which had devoted much time to
hearing evidence on assessment reform.
But it was soon evident that it mat-
ters very little even if Mr. Hanna's
mind should be all tracked up by mod-
ern ideas running through it. Mr. Han-
na's mind is not the Government's mind.
It is hardly Mr. Hanna's, even Sir James
came bustling in and scouted all ideas
but his own. He slamed shut the win-
dows of Mr. Hanna's mind, the Gov-
ernment's mind and the minds of near-
ly•all the supporters of the Government
on the committee -one slam closed them
all.
There is to be no assessment reform.
The fact having come out in evidence
that many municipalities now use their
own discretion in apportioning assess-
ment, this pernicious practice is to be
stopped. Sir James will mighty soon
show them that according to the pre-
sent law they have no option but to use
their indiscretion.
"Is there anything more to be said?"
asked Mr. Hanna. There was not. Noth-
ing remained but for Mr. Hanna and all
the others who had been working on
this so-called committee of the Legisla-
ture to crown their independence with
their hats and go home.
, The Child's Diet.
The child who enjoys plenty of fresh
air usually has a good appetite, but
sometimes too much play and excite-
ment makes children too exhausted to
eat. At such times they should not be
forced to eat against their inclination.
It is better to put them to bed earlier
and keep them in bed a little longer in
the morning. Sleep is the best tonic
for the lean, restless child. When he
is thoroughly rested his appetite will re-
turn and he will not have to be urged
to eat. Do not force a child to eat
specially dislikes. anything he pec y dhs ik s. If he
does not like one kind of cereal, try
another. Some children do not like milk.
Every child should have one quart of
milk daily. It is not necessary for
them to drink that amount. It can be
used in puddings and various ways of
cooking. Sugar may be allowed in mod-
eration, sprinkled in cereals, provided
it does not spqil the appetite for other
foods. All children like candy, and
they should have it. It is better eaten
after meals. There is little danger of
it decaying the teeth if they are brush-
ed night and morning.
The child who has to take his lunch
to school deserves special attention. It
is better for him to take his lunch than
buy it.
Bamboo for Paper Making.
Scottish engineers have perfected
plans for the manufacture of pape-, on
a large scale, from bamboo. On a site
near Kagi (Japan) a factory has been
installed with every requisite to deal in
the first place with 300 tons of pulp
per month, but with room for any de-
velopment. In this case the pulp will
be treated in Formosa, and shipped in
rolls or sheets to the paper mills at
Kobe; just in the same way as the wood
pulp of Norway, Sweden. Russia, and
Finland is shipped to the United King-
dom to feed the British paper mills. It
is hoped that in the Far East bamboo
pulp will enable Eastern mills to corn -

Doctors Only Relieved Her

When the liver is inactive everything
seems to go wrong, and ,a lazy, Slow or
torpid liver is a terrible affliction, as its
influence permeates the Whole system
and causes Biliousness, Heartburn, Sick
Headache, Floating Specks before the
Eyes, Jaundice, Brown Blotches, Consti-
pation, Catarrh of the Stomach, etc.

An Irish Bride.
Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and
ardent apostle of the modern Irish
movement, is fond of telling the follow-
ing real Irish story:
"It was the wedding day of Pat and
Bridget, and they were having a church
wedding. It was a grand affair. Pat
was dressed with patent leather shoes,
white vest, and flaming tie. Bridget
shone attractively in many colors. The
ceremony was over, and the happy pair
walked down the aisle and into the
street where a large crowd greeted them
with delight. •
Once seated within the cab, Bridget
leaned over to Pat and said, in a loud
whisper:
Och, Pat, if we could only have stood
on the pavement and watched ourselves
pass, would'nt it have been Hevin?"

LOCAL NEWS.
We are pleased to see Mr. H. Davis
on the streets again after an illness of
over a week's duration.
The house at the rear of the Congre-
gational church, having been sold to Mr.
Alex McNevin, is being removed this
week.
This section was favored with plenty
of sleighing for Christmas, the first
time for a number of years. The snow
is from 15 to 20 inches deep at the pre-
sent time.
Mr. Richard Kinsman, of this town,
has been appointed an Ontario Game
and Fish Deputy Warden, and will see
that the law in regard to game and fish
is observed in this vicinity.
On Friday evening last, a Christmas
tree entertainment was given in the
Congregational church,Wingham. There
was a good attendance, and the pro-
gramme consisted of recitations, songs,
etc.
Postmaster Fisher returned from his
visit to Manitoba and the Northwest,
Doomed to Life-long Exile.
Gloom has settled over the Winter
Palace, where lives Pu Wi, the small
Chinese Emporer, and the Empress
Dowager, because, it is said on reliable
authority, they have been deserted by
all the blood relations of the royal fam-
ily, who have silently fled to parts un-
known. The only persons remaining at
the palace, save the Empress Dowager
and the small boy who does not know
what has happened in his great country
since it became a republic, are a few
hundred eunuchs, who are said to be
denuding the place of its most valuable
treasures.
The small Pu Wi, who was named as
Emperor by a decree issued in 1906, is
not a lively chap for his age. He plays
with his toy soldiers in the great cham-
bers, while the Empress Dowager weeps
incessantly for the changes that time
have worked and for the desertion of
her royal followers. He may probably
never know why he is practically kept
a prisoner in the great palace, nor why
he is not allowed to leave its walls, but
as he gets older the Empress Dowrger
may perhaps tell him of the threats of
the Manchu gossips that death await
those who are caught outside the city.
Little Pu Wi is said to be a dull, list-
less youngster, who is living miserably,
and possibly is doomed to die as he has
lived.

Mr. Robt. McKenzie, of Culross, re-
cently purchased a valuable stallion from
Mr. John Swarts, of this town. On
Monday night, one of Mr. McKenzie's
horses got loose in the Stable and kick-
ed the stallion, breaking both its hind
legs. The loss to Mr. McKenzie will
be considerable.
On Wednesday morning last, a happy
event took place at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. T. T. Watson, of this town,
when their second daughter, Miss Amy
Watson, was united in wedlock td Mr.
J. S. Timmins, of Bluevale.
On Monday evening last, Mr. R. M.
Robinson, well and favorably known in
Wingham and vicinity for many years
paid the debt of nature. Mr. Robinson
had been a sufferer from lung trouble
for many years, but had not been con-
fined to his bed continuously for any
length of time. In fact he was up the
day of his death. The deceased had
conducted the foundry business in town
for many years retiring from active
business only a few years ago.
He Advertised At Last.
There was a man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise;
He swore (it was his policy) '
He would not advertise.
But one sad day he advertised,
And thereby hangs a tale,
The ad. was set in quite small type

HEALTH NOTES.
When one is overtired or worried and
cannot sleep, being gently rubbed all
over with a towel wrung out of hot salt
water generally has the desired effect.
Deep breathing in fresh air through the
nostrils is also excellent.
Cornmeal, orris root and shaved soap
makes a good bath bag. Immersing the
hands or feet in a bowl of hot cornmeal
dry is said to relieve rheumatism. These
are a couple of the uses for cornmeal
and are worth trying, for the meal is
cheap.
Uncooked vegetables and fresh fruit
constitute the prescription of beauty
specialists for those who would acquire
a beautiful skin, and town women on a
country holiday should not neglect the
opportunities which days in a garden
afford.
According to a recent statement of
the United States Geological Survey,
3,062,022,020,000 tons of coal still re-
main to be mined in the United States
-about 99.5 per cent. of the original
supply. At the present rate of con-
sumption, the supply would last for 4,-
000 years. The consumption, however,
is rapidly increasing, and if the ratio of
increase continues, the 4,003 might be
reduced to 400.
Here is a remedy that will cure your
cold. Why waste time and money ex-
perimenting when you can get a pre-
paration that has won a world-wide re-
putation by its cures of this disease and
can always be depended upon? It is
known everywhere as Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and is a medicine of
real merit. -For sale by all dealers.
With window and indoor plants, al-
ways make a practice, in cold weather,
of removing plants from hear the win-
dow to the centre of the room last thing
each evening. There will then be no
risk of frost penetrating the glass and
reaching the plants. If this precaution
is considered to involve too much trouble,
then adopt the simple expedient of plac-
ing several sheets of paper between the
plants and the glass. Paper is a first-
rate non-conductor of heat or cold, and
consequently the plants will escape in-
jury by the severest frost.
In a certain rural parish church in the
north of Scotland, some years ago, the
following incident occurred: During the
singing of the first psalm a goose enter-
ed the church and quietly "waddled"
up the passage towards the pulpit, just
as the precentor had got out of tune
and almost come to a standstill, a not
unusual occurrence at that time. The
minister, observing the goose, leaned
over the pulpit, and, addressing the
church officer, said --"Robert, put out
the goose." The functionary, not ob-
serving the presence of the feathered
parishioner, and supposing that the
minister's
direction had reference tO
the
precentor. marched up to that individual,
and to the no small amusement of the
congregation, collared him, saying at
1•p same time -"Come out o' that, you
id fellow."

The splendid new Rincon sea -level road
for automobiles, which was opened the
other day with a monster ,barbecue for
30,000 people, shortens the distance be-
tween Los Angeles and Santa Barbara
by ten miles and the time by more than
an hour. To pass between Rincon Moun-
tain and the sea it was necessary to
build a causeway a mile and a quarter
long, at a cost of nearly $50,000. This
is one of the most spectacular parts of
a route which is most famous among
automobilists. It will soon be possible
to follow the coast for the whole length
of California.

At about the age that most girls are
working hardest at school studying
for examinations there are important
physiological changes taking place
which are an additional strain on the
nervous system.
Mrs. Gallop has had experience in
the cases of her daughter and grand-
daughter, and for this reason her let-
ter is particularly interesting to par-
ents.

THE SWINEHERD.
Old sows farrow heavier pigs
than young sows.
Feeds rich in protein are nec-
essary for the brood sow.
The young pigs should be out.
on the pasture as soon as possi-
ble.
Alfalfa is a great feed for a
brood sow in summer and win-
ter.
Provide plenty of pure water,
sunshine, range and green for-
age crops for the. growing pigs.
Scattering oats on the ground
for the little pigs to pick up is a
good way to encourage them to
quick exercise.
Do not allow newly acquired
animals to mix with the herd.
Keep them in separate quarters
for three or four weeks.

SMALL OR LARGE SHEEP.
n Argument In Favor of Handling the
Lighter Breeds.
The question often arises as to which'
roves itself the more profitable to the
reeder and feeder of sheep, a heavy,
keep or a small but better quality,
ue. wrItes W. H. Underwood. Let uel,
or example, take the Oxford and
Hampshire cross ai a type of big sheep,
t being a favorite cross, and the Shrop.
litre as an example of a smaller and,
t may be said with all due respect to
he before mentioned cross, a better
quality sheep.
It is well known that big sheep afv
big consumers and consequently can-
not be so thick on the land as small
sbeep can, and, for instance, where 104
I. ewes of the Oxford-Etamp-
ahire type can be kept 140 Shropshirel
could be run on the same given quasi
tity of land. Then, too, the Shropshire
s more prolific than any other short
wooled breed, and, whereas one and
one-fourth lambs per ewe Is considered
quite a satisfactory average in the Ox•
ford and Hampshire flocks or the cross
between the two above named, ono
and three-fourths is quite common and
one and a half the usual average In
Shropsbire flocks, so that, taking the
crumple before mentioned on the same
given quantity of land,100 cross Oxford
Hampshires would produce 125 lambs,
and the 140 Shiopshiros in all prof'
ability would produce 220, mortality,
being about the same in both cases.
And again, when the time comes for
the lambs to go on grain there is no
comparison between the amount" had
an Oxford -Hampshire will consume a..
against the Shropshire. One and one-
half pounds of grain per day Is about
the average quantity given to the first
mentioned sheep, whereas half that at-
lowance Is ample and is all that Is gen-
erally allowed to a .Shropshire. There-
fore the quantity of grain consumed
by the Shropshlres, although nearly
100 more, would be considerably leafs
per day than consumed by the Oxford-
Hampshires and In five or six months'
feeding would amount to a pretty sub-
stantial difference.
Also a Shropshire will clip as great
a weight of wool, as any other short
wooled breed and generally realizes
more, and when draft ewes come to be
sold In the a')tumn those of the Shrop-
shire or more compact type are far
better to sell, as appearances often ga
against the sale of big, unshapely old
ewes. The mutton also is of better
quality and makes more per pound in
the market than any save the South.

An Iowa ,Sow Ration.
The Iowa experiment station is using
a ration for brood sows and sucking
pigs that is made up of seventy pounds
of cornmeal, ten younds of middlings,
ten pounds of 60 per cent meat meal of
tankage, five pounds of bran, two
pounds of oilmen!, one pound of feed-
ing quality of bone Pour, one pound of
limestone dust and a pound of salt.
These feeds are thoroughly mixed and
given in a thick slop, the aim being to
feed just enough to enable the sow to
produce enough milk for her pigs.
This ration looks like an old fashion
ed doctor's prescription -a little of ev-
erything -but there is a reason for it,
says Kansas Farmer. In the first place
it has proved to be the beat and cheap•
est combination of feeds for the pur-
pose, and in the second place it pro•
duces results.
It is well understood that the sow
must have flesh and bone forming feed
or the pigs will not develop properly.
The tankage. bone Pour and limestone
dust are added to-sppply these elements
which are not present in sufficient
quantities in the others.
Ventilate Your Sams.
Farmers who are •going to build barns
next summer should Image arrange-
ments now to put in the King system
of ventilation in their stables. ft is

The Washington Agricultural college
bah the folloWing 10 slay on the neces-
sity of such ventilation:
Dairy barns are very frequently poor-
ly ventilated. • The dairy cow is then
not only required to live, but to work,
under unfavorable intluenees, and she
often falls a victim to such diseases as
