DEPARTMENTAL STORES

TI.10 influence of the big city depart-
mental store is on the wane. They are
doing less business every month—the
public have got on to tbeir bargain dey

less money will be spent in these stores
through the mail orders in future.
"Mack" in Saturday Night says ;
Those who think that nothing can be
done in regard to departmental stores are
rapidly diminishing, Thousands fre-
quent these stores, yet I challenge any
regular department ehopper to deny that
there is a very marked felling away in
the crowds that crush and scramble in
such places on those days which with
brazen audacity are called "bargain

tile 010008es is appreolahly diminishing,
and irxdo is beginning to look thio way
and that, and no longer blindly follows
certain lines as It had begun to do. This
foot is being commented on every day
even by the women who still shop in those
stores,
Determined not to lose ground, the

Tuberculosis Al Cattle,
DiAu Sm,—I wish to draw your at-
tention to a Bulletin issued July, 1807,
by the Ontario Department of Agrioul-
tore, dealing with Tuberculosis in cattle.
This is a most important and usetal pub-
lication, and will fully repay a careful
study of its contents. Institute off]oera
are respectfully requested to bring this
publication to the natio of the farmers
in their respective districts. Thio can be
done through the local press, at public
meetings, and at epeeial meetings called
for the porpoise of discussing thie ques-
tion. At least one such special meeting
should be held in each Institute District
between now and April let, 1808, and as
=anymore as the funds of the Institute
will allow. This is a vital /petition and
should be dealt with in a vigorous yet
careful manner.
As stated on page 8 of aforesaid bul-
letin, Lieut. -Col. IlfoOrae has been em-
ployed to deliver illustrated addresses
explaining the mode of detecting the
disease, treating diseased animals, dis-
infecting stables, eta. Mr. McCrae will
also be in readiness at all times to test
herde or single animals, owned by farm-
ers, in order to show the owner how to do
the work afterwards. All applications
for Mr. loioOrae'e services should be made
to the undersigned through the Secretary
of the local farmers' Institute, but when,
for any reason, this is not practicable or
advisable, the party or parties desiring
Mr. IttoCrae'e services may obtain the
same by applying directly to the under-
aigned. In this ogee, Mr. McOrea'e work

Thos. Green are firm believers in the
efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and
for very good reasons, Mrs. Greou has
suffered everything but death from a
weak heart, the trouble having afflicted
her since early childhood. On several oo-
easlon0 she has been so low that it was
not thought possible for her to recover.
Her greatest trouble often arose from ex-
haustion or sudden start, and at such
times her heart seamed to cease its
throbbing and the breathing was fitful
and. labored. Dootor's medioine seemed
to have no effect whatever. She was ad-
vised by one physician that all that could
be done was to steep her strength up, and
it was with a view to strengthening her
system, and with no hope that her heart
would be benefitted, that she began the
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She
had not been taking thein long, however,
when there .wa8 an unmistakable relief

life miserable. During tate past anmmor
