WHY SAY iihOIRE 7
We wish to warn the public against
being imposed upon by unscrupulous
dealers who substitute the so -rolled Straw-
berry Compounds far "Dr. Pewter's."
Ask for "Dr. rowler's" and insist on
getting it. The cheap imitations may
be dangerous to your health.
A WONDERFUL REMEDY.
Mr. P. N. Gable, Claremont, Oot,
writes:—"It is with great pleasure
write you to say that I can't speak too
highly of `your wonderful remedy, Dr.
Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry.
I was troubled with diarrhoea and tried
everything I could think of to relieve me,
but Nothing seemed to do mo any good.
I was advised to try 'Dr, rowler'e and
found it great, I would recommend
it to any ono sneering as 1 did."

"Undertaker" to b. Buried.
At a. meeting of the Canadian Em-
balmers' Association in Toronto last
week, it was decided to discourage
use of the .name "undertaker" and
endeavor to have submitted the term
"directors of funeral service."
Half License Fee. 3
Anybody who purchases an auto-
mobile now, or acquires it—of course
in a legal way—will only have to pay
a license fee for six months. The
owners will have,to fill in a sworn
declaration that they became such on
or after September 1 and the collec-
tors have been instructed to accept
half the regular 'license tree. 'j•his
does. not, however, apply to the cost
of the license plates which remain the
same.
Florists Are Exempt From Sales Tax.
Tire Department of Inland Revenue
has issued a ruling which states that
florists will not be liable for the sales
tax recently put into operation from
May 10 to July 4 on account of a rul-
ing given on the later date. The grow-
ers affected, while grateful for the
concession, feel that they should not
be liable previous to the receipt of
the circular informing 'them of the
department's decision, and the author-
ities will again be approached in an
effort to have this matter straightened
out.
To Discuss Church Union.
A meeting of tate General Conference
Special Committee of the Methodist
Church has been called for October 13
and 14, to take action on the favorable
vote on church union given by the
General Assembly of the Presbyterians
in Toronto last June. A Toronto
member says the special committee can
dot no more titan recommend the call-
ing of a special general Conference to
deal with the union question and this
course he regarded as unlikely, In view
of the fact that the regular Methodist
conference is to be held within a year.
The Special Committee consists of 26
members and they will meet in Toronto.
Must Not Carry "Posies."
The thoroughness with which the
quarantine is being carried out by the
Government with reference to the,
spread of the European corn borer is
shown by what daily occurs at the
St. Thomas Michigan Central depot.
Frank Mulvanney, depotniaster and
sp'ecial constable, will not allow pas-
sengers boarding trains who are cross-
ing the border to take with them flowers
of any description. At the border it is
reportedthat very strict surveillance
is being kept on tine passengers, and
if they do manage to get by at outside
points along the line, they are halted
at Windsor and forced to part with
their "posies."
A Million At Sunday School
In all probability Sunday, September
25th will see the largest Sunday School
attendance there has ever been in 'Can-
ada. Pians and propaganda have been
under way for some months with a view
to making Rally Day which falls on this
date not only an inaugural day for the
beginning of the season's work, but al-
so a real, big day in all Canadian Sun-
day Schools. A programme including
a special service for the day has been
prepared by a joint committee of the
Sunday School Boards of the Baptist,
Congregational, Methodist and Presby-
terian churches, and one million copies
of this have been distributed to Can-
adian Sunday Schools of these denOntl-
nations, if present prospects are in
any way realized there should be well
over a million babies, boys and girls
AM grownups in the various 'Canadian
Sunday Schools, on Rally Day.

Cost of Teas Has Advanced.
Since March last the cost of teas
has shown a greater advance than has
ever been registeried during like
period in the past 40 years. Good
average teas now costs 15 cents or
16 cents a pound more at the gardens
than it dtd six months ago. Merle
Is no doubythat increased consumption
in many countries, and the fact that
Russia is now taking a large Quantity
of tea, has had something to do with
this almost unprtbedented rise in
costs.
Obituary.
The Weyburn Review, of Weddea-
day, Aug. 31st, refers to the death of
John McMurray, z former resident of
Clinton and of whose death The New
Era reported on Sept, 1st,—One by
one the hardy old pioneers of the Wey-
burn district are passing on to the great
beyond—passing out along the Christ-
ian's rainbow of hope into the great
veil of immortality where the life ever-
lasting awaits those whose earthly
course has been run. And so, yester-
day yet another of the earliest pion -
airs passed away In the person of Mr.
John McMurray, whosedeath occurred
at thehome of his daughter, Mrs. E. F.
McSherry, First avenue south. Born
in Tuckersmith, Huron county, Ont.,
on September 4, 1845, the son of Mr,
and Mrs. Wm, McMurray who original-
ly came from Scotland, Mr, McMurray
had almost reached the ripe old age of
76 years. He moved to 'Clinton, Ont.
with his parents when but a boy. In
1874 he was married at Lockport, N.Y.,
to Miss Margaret Biggart, who sur-
vives her husband and was with him
at the time of his demise. Three
children were born of the union; Mar-
garet Lutecia, who is now Mrs. 0. S.
Mitchell, of this city; Wiiliant Harvey,
who moved from Weyburn .to New
Westminster, B.C., a year ago; and
Mary Josephine, who Is Mrs. E. F, Mc -
Sherry, of Weyburn. The late Mr,
McMurray was for many years engaged
in business in Clinton, .Ont. as a grain
dealer and merchant grocer, but decided
to cone west with his family in 1899
owing to his ailing state of health,
which had not been overly robust in
the east for a number of years prior
to that time. His son William reached
Indian Bead in the early spring 01 1899
and in cpmpany with D. C. Spafford
trekked across country to the Weyburn
district, which was then being opened
up by the pioneers from the eastern
provinces. Mr. and Mrs. McMurray
and two daughters followed later by
train, and the family then settled on
their homesteads two miles south of
the present city of Weyburn. There
they lived until ten years ago when
they moved to the city. The hope
that the more vigorous climate of the
west would rest6re his health failed
Mr, McMurray, and for the past forty
years he has been in ailing health,
though in full possession' of his facul-
ties up to the time of his death. The
deceased had been a member of the
Presbyterian church for scores of
years and was a member of the Masonic
and 1.0,0.F. lodges. The funeral will
take place Thursday afternoon at 2.3o
from the residence of his daughter,
Mrs, McSherry, to the Weyburn ceme-
tery, where interment will take place.
Rev. J. C. Wilson will conduct the
funeral services, while the Masons will
perforin the graveside riles torr the
order. The Masons and Oddfellows will
attend in bodies. The pallbearers will
be Dr. G. M. Bowman, D. C. Spagord,
