There is spine indication of an at- tempt to upset the time-honored ar- rangement under which. the Censer- vatives and the. Liberals in.the coun- cil alternately have the .choosing of the Warden. Thereare several U. F .0. men in this year's council, and there is tattier more than .a hint•tluit they may get together and assert themselves in the selection of the Warden. They may not have en- ough members to elect. the •.Warden themselves, but they might be strong enough 16 upset the old; agreement 'and throw "the selection of, the War- den into the council as a whole. If the old ' proeednre still holds good, there are four Liberal members who will be in the running for the Warden's chair, They are Gordon Young, Reeve of Colborne; M. Arm- strong, of Hullett; Peter F.'Doig, of Howick, and B. W. F. Beavers, of Exeter. Making a Bad" Thing Worse Winter, as if it were an evil spirit, seems to take delight in making bad things 'worse. Rheumatism twists harder, twinges sharper, catarrh be- comes more annoying, and the many symptoms of scorfula aro developed and aggravated. These are coffin -ion diseases, and it is a wonder that more people don't get rid of them. Hood's Sarsaparilla •has been very successful in the treatment of these complaints. It is easily obtainned, and there, is abundant testimony. that its effects are radical and permanent, In cases where a laxative or cath- artic is needed, it is well to supple- ment Hood's Saraparilla with Hood's Pills, which are gentle, thor- ough and effective.

None know, better than the buy- ing -public how well these fnuctions have been fulfilled. Modern advertising has given us an insight into Various manufactur- ing processes, The producer has ta- ken us, the constimers, into his con- fidence and told pus how his mince- meat, his flour, his clothing, ete,, is made. We know why certain things should or should not be.

A magic bot'tle pro- vides us with cold drinks with the weather at 90 degrees or gives us warm beverages when Jack Frost dips at 40 below.
