It is one of the most dangerous diseases of infancy, and yearly causes more deaths titan scarlet fever, typhoid or diphtheria, and is more common in female than in male children. Whooping Cough starts with sneezing. watering of the eyes, irritation of the throat, feverishness and cough. The coughing attacks occur frequently but are generally more severe at night. On the first sign of a "whoop," Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup should be administered, and weeks of suffering prevented, as it helps to clear the bcon- chtaf tubes of the collected mucous and pftlegra, . •t4 Mrs. Nellie Barley, Alnherst,VN•S., writes: "I have much pleasure in saying that there is no cough syrup like, Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. My little girt took whooping cough front a little girl who has since died with it. I tried lots of things but found 'Dr, Wood's' to give the greatest relief. It helped her to raise the phlegm, and she is now tetter, My young brother is also taking the cough, and I am getting `Dr. Wood's' to work again."

Goderich, April 11.—A special Meeting of the Town Council was held last night to consider the Hydro Electrim Commission's resort on the On tario West Shore Electric Railway and as a result a resolution was passed authorizing the town to be represented at a meeting of the municipalities of Goderich, Ashfield and Huron Town ship% and Kincardiiie to be held soon, to advertise the road and equipment for, sate. This road, some 30 miles in length, between the two Luke towns, was a scheme Domed c e oa ed by o• J W. Moyes, of Toronto, at an estimated cost of $400,000, and was started in 1908, the town guaranteeing the bonds to the extent of 3159,000, or a little better than one third of the road. The hydro report states that it Would be ueces sari to spend in the neighborhood of $400,000 to reconstruct the road to Kin cardine, and, with the other necessary expenses, consisting of stations, rolling stock, etc., the road, when completed, wouldcost well over $1,000,000. The cost of operation would be $;5,400 which with the interest, would run over $1000, 000. Against this would be a revenue of some $58,000 To make ends meet the Toter' of. Goderich would have to pay about $12,000 over and above its yearly interest of $7,500. Public opinion is strongly in favor of dis posing of the road, which would net Goderich about $4,0000, an amount about equal to that already paid in taxes. It was stated that the British were destroying on the average one submar- ine a day, The Antercia n liner New York struck a mine but reached Liverpool safely. Owing to German agents' activity martial law has been proclaimed in Guatemala. Workmen's compensation for the year amounted to almost $2,500,000 largely in excess of the previous. Ac - Tie FORD IS ECONOMICAL THE average man can easily afford a Ford Gar. 1t is the most inexpen- sive car to drive. 20 to 25 miles on a gallon of gaso- line is an every -day occurance. 33 miles is frequently reported by Ford owners Yearly repair expenses of less than one dollar are not unusual. The car is light in weight, and tires give more nmlesage on a Ford than on any other car. You can buy a Ford for yourself and one for your wife for the price of dile car at $1000. You can run both Fords at BERT Phone 183 about the same expense as for one larger, heavier car. You can always sell a "used" Ford at a good price. You have to accept a big reduction for a "used" larger car. Go and take a ride in the 1017 mod- el.

STURDY—In Goderich Township,on Wednesday April lith, Mr. Thomas Sturdy, aged 75 years,, ChildFLETCHren ER'S Cry FOR CASTORIA WE COULD RAISE MORE GRAIN THAN WHOLE WORLD COMBINED EXCEPTING ONE COUNTRY. Canada's total grain crop for t915 totalled 10,194,609,250 bushels, with a value of $800,000,000 according to figures published recently. More con- servative figures place the grain crop value for 1915 at $600,000,000. It is interesting to note that the grain crop of Canada is worth Inose than the whole metallic production of the United States as is shown by other reports. The big 1915 grain crop of Canada was gathered in from less than 10 per cent. of the arable land of the Dominion. This means that it would be possible to grow in Canada a grain crop worth $8,000,000,000. The total tilled area in Canada in 1915 was 37,263,000 acres The wheat yield of Canada last year was 376,303,600 bushels with a value of $312,569,400. This was an increase of 215,023,600 bushels over 1914. The average yield per acre last year was 28.98 bushels as compared with (5.67 bushels for tite previous year. Premier Wheat Country. Canada is fast becoming one of the most important grainaries of the world as is shown in comparison with one year's production in the following fig- ures; wheat production: British India France Italy Argentina Australia Germany Canada produces more wheat in pro- portion to her population than any country in the world and is fast going ahead of British India as the great grain- ary of the British Empire, Canada's ex- portable wheat and flour from the 1915 harvest Is estimated at a value of $200,- 000,000 and the Dominion now has ap- proximately 545 (loud mills, with a dally capacity exceeding 11,865 barrels. Oat Crop is Larger. But large as was Ole 1915 wheat crop it was not in number of bushels Canada's greatest grain crop, it being exceeded by oats which gave a yield of 520,103,000 bushels with a value of 170,894,700, Though the oat crop in number of bushels exceeded the wheat crop by a big margin, the cash value of the wheat crop was the greater. Can- ada's oat crop in 1915 showed a gain over tine 1914 oat crop of over 200,000- 000 as shown in the following figures: Bushels. 1915 oat crop 520,103,000 1974 Oat crop 313,078,000 Bushels 312,032,000 319,667,000 169,442,000 113,903,000 106,600,000 445,944,000 increase 207,025,000 There were other grain crops which also helped to swell the 1915 yield and which are among the important an- nual productions of the Dominion. For example the barley crop of Canada is bigger than the wheat crop of Rumania and there are other equally creditable comparisons which can be made. India No Longer Rival. Up to a few years ago Canada's most formidable rivals in the wheat Product - lou mere the Argentine—in South Am- erica, and British India.-, The Canadian production has so increased that it has now passed,. the. yield of British India and has almost equalled the yield of India and the Argentine combined.

With only a term of the arable land lit cultivation, Canada can increase its wheat and other grain output to ten times the 1915 production. Such a production would• make it possible for the Dominion to ralseas much grain is 41 the other countries of the world combined, b d with the exception p of the United States, The wheat production of India and South America has been increasing, but these countries are further aa than Canada. The wheat fields of Can - ado have been brought into close touch with the Antlanttc and Pacific coasts by the increased railway facilities of the western provinces and the Domin- ion is so well eqquiped with lake, river, canal and rail transportation facilities that record grain crops are handled rapidly, the annual fall movement be-' ing also assisted by the transportation lInes of United States as well as through Canada.
