ELLIOTT, PUBLISHER AND PROP torol'i THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1913 THAT "EMERGENCY" GAME ACUTE PAINS IN Tilt BACK (T. H. R. in St. Mary's Argus.) Well, what are we to except next from the way things are shaping atOt- tawa? According to Mr. Cockshutt of Brantford, and Mr. Murphy of Listow- el -although the latter was not sure of his ground -we are to have a continuos policy of contribution for naval purpos- es. This is getting back to the times of ancient Rome and we are to be only a divional tributor in the gr•zat empire. The thing is actually becoming a farce and a very tiresome one. It is four years now since we heard the threaten- ings and the real war cloud is as far away as ever. Four years ago I return- ed from Scotland guide in favour of some participation in naval activities, yet quite as decided that there was no ground for a war scare. Two years ago I returned from England, having also visited Germany, more than ever con- vinced that there was not even a sub- stantial shadow on which to base a fear. Sill. Mr Borden went over and found that there was an emergency; and that it had existed for four years; and that it would exist four years more if Eng- land did not immediately get some mon- ey to buy some ships. True, nations move slower than individuals. An emer- gency in the life of an individual would call for a doctor, or other remedial ag- encies immediately. But a great em- pire may have an emergency pending for years past and years to come, as political exigiencies require without ev- en the fringes of a war cloud appearing to the keenest observer. Two years ago I took pride in pointing out to the English people the unanimity among Canadians statesmen and politicians on the matter of naval construction and participation. But since then the thing has been made a mere political football. And we are not to have a hand in the game. Simply to pay our share to the gate money and look on. I wonder what the people would say about it if they got a chance to vote on it. I won- der if they are going to get the chance. Caused by Lumbago, a form of Muscular Rheumatism Lumbago is sudden in its attacks and is so intensely painful that the sufferer is often unable to move, even to turn iu bed or rise from a chair. The trou- ble chiefly'occurs among working men, among whom it numbers thousands of victims. As the attacks come on quite frequently and are so torturing, this disease means much loss of time and money as well as the endurance of much suffering. No victim needs Ito be told that liniments, plasters and outward treatment will not cure the disease. This kind of treatment is merely a waste of time and money. The trouble is really a species of muscular rheuma- tism, and is due to poor blood, and can only be cured through the ood. It is for this reason that Dr. W lliams' Pink Pills are so successful curing this trouble, and those who a afflicted by it should lose no time in iving the Pills a trial. If the treatm nt is persisted in the disease will b driven from the system and the cur b made permanent. In substantiation rs. Alfred Derby, Ettyville, Ont., says: "A few years ago I was attacked by excruciating pains in the back which the doctor call- ed lumbago. I was not able to do a bit of work about the house, and suffered dreadfully every time I moved about. I took the doctor's medicine all winter, and used liniments, without getting any relief. In a thoroughly discouraged c lition I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After using six boxes I was better and able to do all my work, and have not been afflicted with the trouble since. I now always recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to those ailing." These pills are sold by all medicine dealers or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. The Dominion Bank. Improvement in every respect charac- terises the Forty -Second Annual State- ment of the Dominion Bank, which cov- ers the year ended the 31st of Decem- ber, 1912. During the year the Bank in- creased its paid up Capital, its Reserve Fund, made gains in deposits, in Cir- culation and in total assets. Its net profits amount to $901,000, the paid up Capital now stands at $5,000,000, and the Reserve Fund at $6,000,000, the de- posits total over $59,342,000, showing a gain of $5,800,000 during the year. An examination of the Bank's Assets shows a very satisfactory condition of its affairs. The total of them amount to $79,224,000-a gain of $9,000,000 during the year, the cash Assets are almost $16,000,000 or 23.8 per cent of the liab- ilities to the public, while the available assets, Government and other Bonds and Stocks readily convertible into cash amount to $29,000,000, or over 451-2 per cent of the total liabilities to the public -an unusually strong showing. Anoth- er feature worthy of special comment is the fact that the current loans am- ounted to $46,400,000 showing that the Bank is doing a full and increasingly large share in providing for the business needs of the communi- ties where its branches are located. This is plainly apparent and is the cause of a new issue of Capital Stock at $200 a share which when all paid up will give increased facilities of $2,000,000. The Bank gave a bonus of 2";, to Sharehold- ers besides the regular dividend 12 per cent, making total disbursements to them for the year of 14 per cent. The importance of the Western busi- ness is shown by the appointment of two new Directors, one resident in Winnipeg and one in Vancouver.

Owing to the stormy weather the speakers for the Farmers' Institue did not reach Bluevale in time to hold the usual meeting. Mrs. W. J. Hunter,how- ever, addressed the Women's Institute at the home of Mrs. Messer and made a very favourable impression. On Tuesday evening of last week, a complimentary Oyster Supper was ten- dered to John Burgess, an old and high- ly esteemed resident, who is retiring from a number of his public activities owing to failing eyesight. The supper was served in the basement of Knox Church at which about 300 were seated at the tables. An adjournment was made to the auditorium where an inter - programme was presented. R. N. Duff was called to the chair which he capably filled. Addresses were given by Dr. U. M. Stanley, Chairman of Medical Board; R Elliott, High Treasurer; of Brantford, R. Shaw and A. McEwen. Mr. Burgess replied to the many rem- iniscent and complimentary remarks in a short kindly speech. He has been Re- cording Sec. of Bluevale Court for 33 and High Auditor for 9 years. For up- wards of 20 years he was Municipal Clerk of Turnberry township; Secretary of cheese factory, and a faithful officer of the Presbyterian Church. He is over 70 years of age and enjoys the con- fidence and respect of all who know him -and that is no small number. The musical numbers were well rendered by Miss Eva Duff and Miss Bertha Haney, W. Haney and Peter King. Miss Polly Duff proved her eapabilies as an elocu- tionist by an excellent recitation. Blue - vale Orchestra played a number of sel- ections in good style. The wish of a company and a host who were unable to attend the supper is that Burgess may be spared to his fam',ly and the community for a good many years to come and that his eyesight may be res- tored. Serious trouble has arisen in the Lit- erary Social and Debating Society. Everything seemed to be going smooth- ly and the well -wishes of the Society were hoping that the season's activities would be a real benefit to the members. But at the last meeting a young lady, through her libel advisor, announced that she intended to sue the "Literay 1 Digest" for $10,000 damages for wilful and malicious likely calculated to des- troy her chances of matrimony. The legal representatives of both parties held a consultation and it was decided to have the case tried at the next as- sizes, Wednesday night, Feb. 19. Judge Aitchison presiding. The article com- plained of in the case appeared in the last issue of "The Literary Digest." It is not likely that a fraction of those desiring to hear the trial will be able to get into the court -room, as the prin- cipals are so well known in social and newspaper circles. Another good program was given by the Society on Feb. 5 and it was enjoy- ed by a large number considering the stormy weather. One of the features of the evening was a pleasing and in- structive address by Mr. A. MacEwen, dealing especially with the construction and working of the hydraulic ram which is becoming so widely used for water- works systems in the country. The ad- dress was illustrated by diagrams. A series of Masterpieces of Literature Was began with an interesting talk by Mr. A. L. Posliff on Shakespeare, illustrated by a very pleasing reading from "Julies Caesar" by Miss Carrie Diamond. A special feature of "The Literary Di- gest" was an article by Mr. J. W. King on hiamemories of Sir John A. MacDonald. During the evening the society sang "Old Black Joe" in chorus. There was a very humorous recitation by Mr. R. Shaw; Mrs. M. Watson and Bertha Haney sang a duet, and there were violin solos by R. Garniss and R. W. Loftus, and other members. A structural steel plant is to be er- ected at St. Thomas, to cost $100,000 and to employ 160 men. Mr. E. L. Smith of Ingersoll, pro- prietor of The Oxford Tribune, died of hemorrhage of the brain. LIVE STOOK sI#ItIutrS Toronto, Feb'y 10. -Receipts at the Western Cattle Market this morning were very light, there being only a few head of cattle and a light run of calves in the pens. Cattle dealers report that February is always found to be the worst month of year for the trade, ow- ing to the tightness of money and also to the season of Lent, which tends to largely decrease the consumptive de- mand. Trade now is reported very dull, while prices remain unchanged. The receipts at the yards were 3 cars containing 37 head of cattle and 56 calves.

LIVE STOOK sI#ItIutrS Toronto, Feb'y 10. -Receipts at the Western Cattle Market this morning were very light, there being only a few head of cattle and a light run of calves in the pens. Cattle dealers report that February is always found to be the worst month of year for the trade, ow- ing to the tightness of money and also to the season of Lent, which tends to largely decrease the consumptive de- mand. Trade now is reported very dull, while prices remain unchanged. The receipts at the yards were 3 cars containing 37 head of cattle and 56 calves.
