CURRENT TOPICS.
It would appear that the Laurier
party are bound to make a big cry and
secure little wool. While wholesale
dismissals from the public service con-
tinue, because Conservatives are honest
enough to be Conservative and stand
by their principles, the electors of this
country are compelled to pay the piper
in order that the whims of the Grit
party may be satisfied. It is time tor
a change.
Our esteemed town contemporary
has up to date failed to find space for
one line to acknowledge that it was in
error when it said that it "believed"
the Church appointed Rev. Mr. Fairlie
principal of the Indian Industrial
School near Winnipeg. If a sworn
statement is of any valve our totem.
might now say at least it "believes"
Mr. Fairlie was appointed by the Leer-
ier party and that it "helievea" it de-
ceived its readers. Is this no„ reason-
able?
If the present Grit Government go
on as they propose the public will he at
the merry of that party in the mutter
of mail carrying, Every mail carrier
throughout the couptry is receiving
notice to quit, and the Grit press urges
the plea now that the cause of this
move ie 'for economy. With this THE
Nnws-RltcoaD does not agree. Every
work --private or public—is worth a
certain amount of ruOneyy and the lab-
orer le worthy of his hire, no Iriatber
what his politica 'or religion, n t< le.
as in all other public affairs the pubile
interests should be guarded, But

went i9 not dealing .by its Orate

While the Laurier Government are
disturbing heaven and earth to have all
Tory mail -carriers dismissed anil,,,re-
placed by Grits—and claim a saving in
some cases to the country --THE NEWS -
RECORD is not above suggesting to Mr.
Laurier and his party that in coese-
quence of this "saving" the people of
Canada would greatly appreciate a two -
cent letter postage.
Tho Wingham Time, does not give
THE NEWS -RECORD credit for sincere-
ity in its criticisms of the Laurier set-
tlement of the Manitoba school ques-
tiou, and demands that this respectable
family journal give Mr. Laurier the
solution for a Netter settlement. The
Tunes knows quite wall that Mr.
Laurier has repeatedly and persistently
refused to accept the sound advice of
this paper on matters political, and
that we have no waste space at this
good -will season of the year. If Mr.
Laurier will promise to seriously con-
sider our solution then he will have it.
In the meantime, as an eminent Divine
has said, "It is Protestants to the right,
Roman Catholics to the left, and fancy
religions to your liking." The settle-
ment does not meet with the approval
of thinking Reformers or Conservatives.

MEDIt'AL HEALTH OFFicaa SHAW'S RE-
PORT TO THE TOWN COUNCIL.
Clinton, Dec. 1st, '06.
To the Mayor and Members of the Clinton
Town Council :—
GENTLEMEN,—In presenting the fol-
lowing report on sanitary matters in
the Town of Clinton for the past year
I have pleasure in congratulating you
on the freedom of the town from any
epidemic dibeases and a condition of
the health of the Town more satisfac-
tory than at any time since I have been
Health Officer.
This is doubtless in part due to the
active measures taken these last four
years early in the Spring in having a
general ctleaning up, notice of such be-
ing distributed in every house and af-
terwards a house to house inspection
by Inspector Wbeatly,
WATER.—Our water supply this year
has materially improved chiefly owing
to the citizens being awakened to the
necessity of a thorough cleaning of
their wells once a year -
I have teeted 107 samples of water
'Mom different portions of the town
',slid in eveny ease where the water
showed contamination efforts Were 'at
once made to remedy the evil.
" CtoaETS.—I have again, I am sorry 1
ttb say to refer to the, 'giorninabie state
I the closets o tip ' pQwn and• the neg-
ligence display by,the; itigeins w-
ally in eferehhe t¢ " Cleaning and

Tile •I`3oaid of Health Was , dieap-
Ointdd that your worthy Council
did not see your way clear to
pass the Dry Earth Closet By-law
we recommended to you. As the
Legislature has given power to Muni-
cipalities to do so, and until your body
endorses this system Will we continue
to have our wells and houses •contaun-
inated with sewage.
During the past year there has been
only seven cases of typhoid fever .with
one death and one of scarlet fever.
All of these occurred during the dry
Beason when the Wells were veru low
and in all cases the wells had not, been
attended to early in the summer.
Experience is a dear teacher, but of-
ten the only successful one in these
cases.
MILK.—Our milk supply is of the
best, more than ordinary tale being
taken with the cows and their sur-
roundings.
DRAINA.`—The Inspector and myself
have been called upon this year to in-
spect a larger number of drains than
any time previously.
This branch of worksproperly be-
longs to the town Engineer, as this
entails a general knowledge of the
whole Town drainage system which we
could not possibly inform ourselves
without charts and -plans.
ICE.—The ice supply this year was
not so good as in former years and as
ice is fast becoming generally used
more vigilance honld be used by the
dealers in storing it.
I remain your
Obedient servant,

ORGANIZED.—As announced last
week a meeting was held Friday even-
ing in the English church to consider
the advisability of organizing a
Christian Endeavor Society. Rev.
Wm. Stout Incumbent of the church
and A. T. Cooper secretary of Huron
County C. E. Union, were present.

The chill windsof winter were blowing from

The earth and all surrohrldings iu spotless
white, weredreseed,
When ast I met niy Daisy to say a fond
goodbye
To hear her laugh, tcl •see her erotic; to watch
her sparkling eye.
• She's Winsom;eblythe and lionnim, by nature
formed to please
A charming little Daisy! a most provoking
tease.
With hair black as a raven and eyes that
look you through,
Her lips, well words can't picture them, her
heart is fond and true.
I love my little Daisy, whatever others say,
I know she's proud and haughty and bound
to have her way,
I also know she loves me, her lips may
answer no,
But pressed t) mine those ruby Ups convince
we that ,tis ser
I'm parted now from Daisy yet hope to meet
again,
When April showers, and sunshine in ver-
dure clotife the plain,
Again In summer evenings my leisure hours
to spend
With darling little Daisy dear, my charming
little friend.

Infests the blood of humanity. It
appears in varied forms, but is forced
to yield to Hood's Sarsaparilla, which
purifies gad vitalizes the blood and
cures all such diseases. Read this:
"In September,1894, I made a misstep and
injured my ankle. Very soon afterwards.
A Sore
two inches across formed and in walking
to favor it I sprained my ankle. The sore
became worse; I could not put any boot
on and 1 thought I should have to give up
at every step. I could not get any relief
and had to stop work. I read of a cure of
a similar case by Hood's Sarsaparilla and
concluded to try it. Before I had taken
all of two bottles the sore had healed and
the swelling had gone down. My
oot
is now well and I have been greatly bene-
fited otherwise. 1 have inersased in
Weight and am in better health. Icannot
