J.J.I. WRITES FROM TORONTO
Editor of The News, Seaforth.
Dear Sir,—Here we are again. The
zero weather has given place to a
better kind which I -hope will eon-
tiue for a while. The heavy WC of
snow has tnade WOrk for a groat
number of the shoVellers, many of
them being in apparent distress. A
building which it is said will 'be the
tallest in the British Empire, is be-
ing erected on the corner of Vied
toria and' Adelaide streets, and will
be 21 stories in height, with three
stories more en top of this •for living
rooms. Great crowds of men are
seen frequently clamoring for em-
ployment. Some of the are willing
to work and a number are just lazy
bums. The muniCipal elections caus-
ed quite a stir here, There were
four in the field for Mayor. Hiltz
got over 30,000 votes, Foster a more
saving man who started at the foot
of the ladder both business and
municipal affairs, und leas climbed up
to the top, got 32,500 and is elected.
Winberg, editor and publisher of the
Hebrew Jouenal, got 2:500 and one
Fieldhousc got only 250 votes, Fost-
er, Winberg and Fieldhouse, from the
standpoint of temperance, favored
Government control. One of the
fleet friends I met in the city was Mr.
Wm. Somerville, who was uptown
agent of the .G.T. Railwa3r in Sea -
forth. There a number of yoeng
peonle from the northern kart of Mc-
Killop here, including Miss Regale,
Miss Roe and the Misses Love.

Life is what you
make it. Neglect
often makes it dull
when you fail to
heed the warning
from heavy, ach-
ing eyes.
Nervous Debility
often arises from
poor vision; your
efficiency is reduc-
ed, things are not
bright. Eye strain
does this. Our sci-
entific method of
examining your
eyes shows at once
if they need help.
If they do we can
furnish. the right
glasses, That is
the function of
