The constant backing cough that sticks to you in spite of everything you have done to relieve it, is a source of danger. The longer the cough stays, the more serious menace it is to your health. Itis easy to check a cough at the out- set with Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. If you have let it run though, it takes a while longer to cure, but Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup will cure it even then after other remedies have failed. Mr, J. Henry Landry, South River, Bu•gcois, N.S. writre:--"I 1' revolved such groat benefit from Or. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup that I cannot help expressing my thanks. 1 suffered with a hacking cough for over a month, and could not sleep at night, I used many kinds of remedies, but they didn't do me any good, until I used 'Dr. Wood's,' and found great relief righti,from the e etart, I only need two bottles, and was com- pletely cured. 1 will never be without 16 as long as 1 live.'

The °dicer in charge of Canadian war records has asked us to make known that it is desired to Campile a complete history in photograph of the Cana- dians' share in the war, in the sante way that all other belligerent countries are compiling Milliner records. It is particularly desired to obtain photographs of all officers, N. C. 0.'s and amen who have served or are now serving in the overseas military forces of Canada, and it is requested that an appeal should be made to this end, through these columns. All officers and other ranks serving overseas may find it difficult to send in their photographs, and their relatives Are therefore especially appealed to, to send in their photographs for tihem. By prefereeee the photographsYl t s should ;be unmounted and printed on bromide paper in order to ensure permanence. Each photograph should be accompan- ied by a concise record, not exceediult two or three 'hundred words, of the subject's military career, including date of enlistment, promotions, distinctions and so on, as this will 'greatly. assist in obtaining a full and accurate record of PAGE 5 1., s ,.11'1;, i moriiat 'srkNideneRn ,.—.yess..,maw,nvwnm. _. a+aaniamess Vitaeutma' HULLETT TOWNSHIP WINS HONORS.

FORMER EDITOR DEAD On the 25th ult., at Chicago, Robert Matheson, 13, A., an old -tine resident of Clinton, formerly editor of The New Era, passed to the life beyond. Mr, Matheson was born in Kirkaldy, Scot- land, in 1833, being at the time of his death in his 83rd year. He was one of a family of twelve children, of whom seven were born in Scotland, and five in the town of Simcoe, Walter Mathe- son, of Vancouver, being the only sur- viving member of the family. The family carne from Scotland to Simcoe in 1842, the ocean pass- age occupying a period of ten weeks, Mr, Matheson was a student of the Simcoe Grammer School of which George 'Mt, Evans was principal. Completing his course he entered Toronto University', and in 1856 ob- tained his degree and the gold me- dal for proficiency in natural sci- ence. lie then for a short time taught in the Olds School, near Simcoe, and then for quite a number of years was principal._ f the Grammar Schools at Milton, Berlin, Chatham and Napanee. He next engaged in Journalistic work, owning successively The Milton Champion, St, Catharines News and The Clinton New Era. About 1880 he moved to Chicago where he owned and edited the Chi- cago Canadian -American. Nature had favored 11i41i with a remarkably line constitution, and all Ms life, up to the day of his passing. He was physically and mentally as active as when in his youth, From his youth he was a man of pure mind and high ideals, and strongly imbued with the love of his fellowmen, and this made him what he was—a boy at heart all his long 111e. In politics he took an active part and was, logically, a Liberal. Mr, Matheson leaves a widow, two sous and three daughter$, all resi- dents of Chicago. He was for over half a century Santa Claus Soon .
