Twenty -,one cities and 83 towns i
Canada increased their population i17
the Last ten years according to pre
liminary return's of the current year's
census, issued by the Dominion Bur

cities in Ontario top the presentlist i
the matter of ,enhanced population -
Toronto and Hamilton. In the past
ten years the Queen City rose by
105,689, or 2025 per cert of What it
was in in ththeprevious decennial census.
Hamilton bettered its population by
35;71 per cent., or 40,763 persons. The
Toronto suburbs slowed marked in-
creases.
Four cities and. 60 towns d'ecl'ined
in papulation; the 'ia•creases, however,
considerably more- than offset the
drop and examination of the totals
discloses that the population of the
Dominion, when all returns are com-
piled, will he very much ahead of
what it was in 1921..Of 12 Ontario
cities to :show :striking increases, St.
Catherines and Niagara Falls were

•declined -St. Thomas, the drop being
4'116 per cent, representing a decrease
of 667 person's.
The depression in, the precious
metal mining industry is revealed by
the drop in the population of the 'Nor-
thern iO'n!tario towns of I-Iaileybury,
Cobalt, Charlton and Chei'n ford.
Tlhe last named town, has declined
30:81 per c•eat, a total of 332 having

!David Nivins, eldest son of Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. Nivins, of the 5th conces-
sion of West Wawanessh, ,had a nar-
row escape from death while at the
threshing of his grandfather, Mr.
Thomas Culbert. The threshing was
being done from the stook and David
was on the .front of a load driving
the team of one .of the neighbors. The
load was nearly on, and in some man-
ner the little 'fellow ;fell forward on
to the horses, which frightened them
and they started to rum. a'way. Just
exactly how it happened it is not
known, bit when the boy was picked
up by his father who was pitching on
the Toad, he was lying on his face, his
legs and arms straight drown. ,His
face was terribly hurt, his nose being
bruised almost to a pulp. His one
eye was also bruised and his shoulder
injured. The only thing that saved the
boy's 'life was the fact that when the
horses started, one was quicker than
the other, and that caused the wheels
of the wagon to cramp so that the•
front wheel passed on one side of hinis
while the hind wheei passed ou• the:
other side. Otherwise the loaded°
wagon would have passed over hint.
crushing hint to death. The boy, who
is thirteen years of age, he'd 00't been
'feeling welt the day previous and also
that forenoon, At dinner he felt some
be!t'ter and ate a hearty dinner. It is
believed that he probably became diz-
zy again, which caused 'him to fall':
over. While his face is all terribly
swollen, and ,his shoulder hurts him:
considerably he himself, as well as his.
parents, are rejoicing over the fact:
that he was not fatally hurt. The ow-
ner of the, team, who was building the •
load succeeded in quieting the horses
by talking to them, and getting• them
stopped after they had run across the
field, and before any other damage
was done. The lines had been carried
to the ground when the bey fell so the .
owner was helpless.
Miller's Worm Powders do not
need the after -help of castor oil or,
any purgative to complete their thor-
oughness, because they are thorough
in themselves. One dose of them,
,and they will be found palatable by all`
children, will end the worm trouble by
making the stomach and bowels tut -
tenable to the parasites. And not, only
