The child grew 'weaker and weaker until the doctor at last a, told the nurse to discontinue the medicine and give milk instead, as theaase was hopeless. Calling a few days later, expecting to sign'a death certificate, he found his patient wonderfully improved, so he told the nurse to continue the milk treatment for a week or two by which time he ex- pected the child would be strong e- nough to take more medicine. o=a It was while under the old treat- ment that the world took sick. The treatment may not have caused , or aggravated the illness but certainly it did not prevent it. It was when Britain gave up the treatment that she began to show signs of improve- ment. Noting this, the United States did the same with similar results. Yet the leading doctors in both countries intend when their patients have sufftcently recovered to go back to the gold cure. t Ferdinand. Pecora alleges that J. P. Morgan gave a railway to the Van Sovereign brothers for nothing. We understand Mr. Morgan denten that he had any ill -will toward them or that he deliberately flim-flammed them. c®tatari A church conference deplores that in a depression year we drank thir- ty-eight million dollars worth of llq- uor. We acknowledge the corn but again we have to plead in self de. fence that the federal and provincial treasuries swallowed much of that money. One way they took to avoid in- come tax in the United States was this: Just before making his re- turn a man would sell stock to his wife and deduct the loss from his income. You can understand that anything a man sells his wife is a clean loss to him. i Now if we could only get them to pass laws forbidding publishers from sending out house -Sao -house canvas- sers for magazine subcriptions this world would become a better world to live in. There are many diversions at the World's Fair but the Chicago water diversion is not one of them. Promoters trying to float a min, big company advertise that their claim adjoins a well-known paying mine. The source of tears, too, ad- joins that of smiles. e Ferdinand Pecora gets $225 a month for his work in that' Wash- ington investigation. A Canadian lawyer doing similar work here for any Government would think himself a piker if he accepted less than that amount per day, eazzirsao Recent federal and provincial loans have been pronounced a great suc- cess and we are wading to admit that a successful loan is the next best thing to no loan at all. An English author declares he can never forgive, Thomas Hardy for hanging Tess of the D'Ibervilles. A novelist, however, must be allowed the privilege of doing what he likes with his own. Hardy created Tess and, if he chose to hang her, whose business was it but his? She was probably predestined to die that way just as George Sedley was predestin- ed to be slain at Waterloo by Thack+ eray, It is harrowing to the reader no doubt but we must not think it is not more harrowing to the author. James Russell Lowell went for a walk with Thaekeray one day. The novelist was quiet and morose and when Lowell asked him the cause of hr's gloom he replied `I have just killed Col. Newcombe." That's the way he felt about it although he had allowed the correctly, chivalrous Colonel to die of old age : in second childhood. Hardy no doubt felt bit- terly the fate of Tess as he led hes to the scaffold. e==I cls What Germans would call an un- bearably hot day would be quite tol- erable to anyone in our Canada or the United States, and we can sym- pathize with Schmelling's contention that the awful heat the day of his fight with Baer was the cause of his downfall. Baer used to Californian heat could stand it where the Ger- man could not. "Had the weather been cool, the only sports writer who picked Baer to win might per- chance have been the only false pro- phet. citasaimair The average prisoner is taken to jail as quietly and gently as possible, but it would appear from the speech- es of Communistic orators that their arrested comrades were "thrown" or "flung" into prison. The words are used under the license that goes with free speech. csamIMaa Greater care in the selection of judges is the, only thing that will prevent the incidents such as those connected with the conduct of Judge Stubbs and the protracted investiga- tion into it. What Clinton was Doing in The Gay Nineties DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED DURING TRn LAST DE- CADE OF THE OLD CENTURY? From The News-Record,June 21st, 1893: Messrs. W. H. Manning and J. P. Doherty are soliciting members to the Mechanics. Insittute. So far they have received good encourage- ment. On Monday afternoon Mr. D. Cantelon and Contractor S. S. Coop- er were _in Stratford viewing sever- al residences and preparing plans for Mr, Cantelon's new residence in Clinton, The New Texas Game Laws: Book agents may be killed from Au- gust lst to October 1st; spring poets March 1st to July 1st; scandal mongers from Jan. 1st to Dec. 31st, inclusive; umbrella borrowers from February lst to May 1st; and .from August 1st to November lst. Open season all the year on Iife insurance agents. Cut Off: The Petrous Topic ,Says: During our fifteen years of newspa. per work, experience has taught us that one editor would never lose much sleep in consequence of the remarks of another. We find how- ever, that such isnot the case for the local preacher of the Clinton New Era has taken serious exception to .our remarks of a few weeks ago and has unceremoniously, and with mal- ice afore -thought, we suppose, cut The Topic off his exchange list. Now, we are of the(opinion that this its a mistake, as The iTew Era - would certainly be a much better paper if its editor would only continue to read The Topic, but where ignorance is bliss, etc, Clinton has an excellent wool market and pays the highest prices going, Last week a lady remarked that she received 'much better value at the woolen mill store here than she had reecived a few weeks ago at a neighboring market place. Grand Lodge Re -Union The Or- angemen of East Middlesex, City of London, South. Huron and West Bruce intend celebrating the 103rd anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne by holding a monster demon- stration is Exeter on July 12th.. , Speeches will be delivered by the following gentlemen: Major ' Sam Hughes, M.P.; Hon.

Martin, George Jackson and F. Helling Fett. Arrangements have been made with the G. T. R. for very low rates. Uniforms For Customs Officers: The Controller of Customs is about to make an important ruling-as'effect- ing officers of (customs wblo have to examine baggage of travellers ar- riving by train or boat at the dif- ferent points in Canada, whether on the seaboard or 'at inland ports. It has been determined that in future all such officers who come into con- tact with travellers shall wear 'a neat uniform, which the department will furnish. Institute Board Meeting: The sec- retary was instructed to advertise for a teacher to fill the position va- cated by Miss Hume. Instructions were given the committee' to ascer- tain what could be done to secure a supply of drinking water. Author- ity was delegated the treasurer to borrow from the bank sufficient. money to meet current expenses. eiitmaa From .The New Era, June 23rd, 1893: The other day electric wires for lighting purposes were placed in Davis' Livery and ion Saturday night fire broke out/where the wires came in contact with some wood work; fortunately it was extinguished be- fore any damage was done. iDr. Turnbull is away this week at- tending the meeting of the Ontario Medical Association in Toronto. Reeve Kerr of Brussels passed through town on Wednesday on: his way to Goderich to attend the wedding of his brother-in-law Mr. Kay, assistant postmaster at Stratford, to Miss Lizzie 'Dickson, daughter of the late Postmaster Dickson. Mr. W. Jackson and Dr. Gunn are both home from the west and are in ecstasies over the World's Fair. Rev. W. Smyth had a couple of early callers on Wednesday morn- ing when Mr. J. Stevenson and Miss M. M'Linchey of Stanley came and were made man and wife. On Sunday Doc. Blackwell drove to London and back to attend the funeral of a cousin; it was a pretty big drive for one day and that se rearm. The other day Mr. Stickle, teacher, Hallett, wheeled from Clinton to his boarding place, three miles north of Londesboro, in 40 minutes, and on NTanday R. Holmes went to Londes- bore in 30 minutes during the warm- est part of the day. Dr. Shaw was a guest at a wad- ing in Goderich Wednesday; he will be the principal in one some of these days. Yesterday Nfr. Joe Allenson gath- ered eatable new potatoes and a bushel or so of fine green peas; this is exceptionally early, Jackson Bros. have received an order from the Lucknow Orange Lodge for 50 silk hats and over 100 white vests to complete their outfit for the 12th of July. Two of our citizens, Messrs. J. Steep and J. C. Gilroy—were pain- fully sick for a couple of days—and the medical man who was called in claimed that both had been poisoned by inhaling paris green. They had been using it to spray fruit trees. Whitmore -- Reid — At Union church manse, on the 21st inst. by the Rev. J. H. Simpson, Mr. Frank- lin J. Whitmore, to Miss Bella J., daughter of Mr. Robert Reid, all of Stanley township. Markets: Wheat, spring or fall 605 to 64c Oats 32c to 33c Barley 350 to 45c Peas 55e to 56c Butter 13a to 14c Eggs 90 to 10e Pork $7.50 The trustees of Ontario street are seriously thinking of introducing the incandescent electric light. Canada wills 95 lout of 107 medals awarded cheese exhibitors at the World's Fair: The Sunday street ear agitation is on deck again in Toronto, There is very little to be said in favor of the agitation, and much against it, but the promoters of the movement are likely to keep at it until they suc- ceed. Wednesday was the longest day in the year. Several days of the past week have, been the "hottest days in the year." The present hot wave comes dir- ectly from the western plains. Por the last three days in Manitoba and Minnesota and the . northern :Missip- sippi valley the thermometer has ranged from 90 to 100 in the shade. Tuesday 'was the warmest day ex- perienced this season, it registered 93 in the shade. It felt ,Iike con- siderably snore. About the silliest thing we have heard for some time is the states ment of the Petrolia Topic that The New Era cut it off its exchange list because the Topic had said something about The New Era editor. Well we certainly do not lose much sleep by such things, for in the first place the the New Era had not, at the time, read the item in •question, and in the second the Topic was never on our exchange list, which happens to be si fficiently large as it is. What does the public care for such trivial affairs, anyhow? The whole thing isn't worth the space of this item, even. Clothing: We are selling men's suits, beautifully made and trimmed at $5.50, 46, $7.50 and $9, equal to any ordered work and the fit and. style in many eases superior, at less than half what you will pay for or- dered suits.

Goderich Township: Mr. John Baker sold a mare and a one -week- old colt the other day to Mr. Loren Tyndall for the handsome sum of just about $225. ! From The New Era, May 18th, 1908: The officers of the military camp at Goderich are planning to hold a military tattoo on Wednesday even- in:e, of next week. No statute labor has:been pat on the roads in this vicinity, The'rea, son given is that the late spring kept the farmers back with their farm work. ... It would be a bles- sing to the travelling . public if the roads were left as they are all sunt- mer . . someone should introduce an act into the legislature making it a criminal offence to put gravel on rA. ' any loading thoroughfare between the months of April and Septem- ber.. Mr. W. S. R.Holmes says that my stead, of spending.last Sunday in Goderich he entertained his friend; Mr. Harry Salkeld, the popular reeve iof Goderich township. ' We understand that Mrs. French is leaving shortly on a visit to Wet- askiwin, as she may remain for sea, eral months her house is being ,of- fered for rent, furnished. What Other Newspapers are Saying A SLIGHT MISTAKE I The expanded use of the telephone cannot be better indicated than by the incident .in which a lady living a quiet life in Dunkirk, New York, and quite unknown to fame was per- force a participant. When she sleepily answered the telephone at two o'clock the other morning She became more than usually awake when she heard "London, England, is calling." "This," said the Lon- don voice, "is Michael Farmer. I was to call Mr. Jacobs at this hour at Dunkirk, 3060." When asked if it was Dunkirk, New York,. he want- ed, there was a pause, and then Mr. Farmer said calmly: "I'm sorry, I was calling Dunkirk 3060; Dunkirk, France."---iMoncton Transcript. THE CASE WAS URGENT Addressing' County Council last week Crown Attorney Holmes told of an incident to illustrate the trials and tribulations of a policeman. The telephone rang in his office one af- ternoon not long ago. A lady was speaking from near Brussels. Some- thing serious had happened and she wanted a provincial constable. Wouldn't a county constable or vil- lege cop do? No sir! This was a job for a trained officer. What was the trouble? The lady refused to give any particulars over the rural , 'phone, but it was serious. After a council of war it was decided that Constable McCoy should investigate. He drove to Brussels only to find a a husband and wife fighting over the taking down of the stove pipes. Disgusted, he turned on his heel and drove home. Members got a big kick out of the yarn, which was re- Iated to •empbasize the inadequacy of our county police system. --Goderich Star. iWiz1resera SHOULDI RAVE HUMANE SOCIETY MEDAL Althoughthere were several boys clad in bathing suits among the group of people watching the fran- tic truggles of a small dog that was bIown from the pier into the water. by Sunday'sgale, none of them made any attempts to effect a rescue Jack Barton. son of Mr, and Mrs. Jos. Barton, Britannia road, attracted by the crowd and seeing the plight of the unfortunate dog, unhesitat- ingly, jumped, fully clothed, into seven feet of water and carried the whimpering pun to safety. After a few vigorous shakes the dog scam- pered off down the pier, leaving his rescuer to follow in a more leisurely and decidedly more uncomfortable manner.—Goderich Signal. a0tesaf THAT EXTRA LOAD Last week's storm has made it harder for scores and scores of peo- ple. We were just hoping and working our way back to better times when fifteen terrible min- utes put us into a condition from which dozens of us will find it very hard to 'recover. The extra hundreds of dollars of loss entailed by the 'havoc of the wind make our loads just a little bit too heavy. We'll not be surprised if a few who have fought bravely for the last three years will be obliged to give up en- PAGE 3 I tirely. Where will the extra $2,00� or $3,000 come from wherewith to rebuild? That's the ,problem! Will those who have given premium notes be willing to pay up sufficiently to. pay for the losses of the insured? That is not quite all of the difficul- ty involved, Will the paying up of extra assessment on the note be a possibility with the majority of- those who find their present pay- ments in other peremptory lines' are- about all that their finances are able to stand. It's one thing to be aril ling to snake a payment. It's quite• a different thing to be financially ,able to make the 'payment. Fur- ther, will people to whom money is due be able to allow the farmer to catch up again, bearingthe addition- al Ioss? Will the man who owns the property be willing to rebuild? All in all, the storm has complicated' the financial outlook to a serious extent. --Exeter Times -Advocate. THE VAGARIES OF THE STORM iStrange were the vagaries of the• big storm. Ten miles west of St. Marys the wind descended upon a strip of country only a mile long and blew down nine barns and a brick house. A row of trees along the roadside was reduced to kindling. wood. It was a fiercer onslaught than even St. Marys experienced' —St. Marys Journal -Argus. VERY USEFUL ''Even old-fashioned things, .such• as parents, sometimes have their uses," said Senator Capper. "I have a friend who has a very beautiful daughter and naturally her time was fully occupied most of the time. One chap, in particular, not only came to the house early but stayed late. "Finally, after receiving an usus- ally heavy coal bill, the father called' down from his study one evening: `Helen, isn't it time that young man went home?' "`Your father's a crank,' mutter- ed the young man, and as bad luck would have it the father overheard hire. "'Well,' he shouted down the stairs, 'when folks don't have self- starters a crank comes in mighty handy.'" —Erie. welifrimmwittfrooveleitfrabzwitripainsollfraordwees Which Stores Do You Like Best? An Advertisement Addressed to the Readers of this Newspaper Isn't it true that stores which invite your custom oftenest, and which give you most information about their offerings, are those to which you go by preference? Isn't it true that silent or dumb stores—stores which never tell you that year custom is wanted and valued, and which never send you information about their stocks and prices, are less favored by you than are stores which inform you, by advertisements in this newspaper, about themselves, their stocks, their prices? Isn't it true that you want,before you go shopping, information about goods of desire, which are obtainable locally, and about where they can be obtained? Always remember that the stores which serve you best are those which tell you most. The filet is that advertisements are a form or kind of news, and careful buyers want the kind of news which sellers provide just as much as they want the news which it is the business of this newspaper to pro- vide. It is advantageous to you, regarded as a purchaser, to be "advertisement conscious," meaning to be obser- vant of advertisements, and to be readers of them when seen in magazines, farm papers and in your local newspaper.
