their gains through purchases made here, This is a CAMPAIGN of

satisfied w it nothin g a•else. IMITATED in a feeble way ? Oh, yes,
a
we expectedthat and there'll be others,but somehow THEY LACK
THE COURAGE to make prices such as ours and naturally they
fall outside the breastworks.

For some years they have been

success, and they have decided to go

they purpose making up to .20th Cen-
tury ideas,and eleyiate the standard of
ready-to-wear clothing.
We have no doubts whatever as to
the outcome of this new departure,

So1RNTIFic TEMPERANOE.---The Rev.
E. O. Taylor gave a' series of addresses
in town last, week, w 1 w ek on the sujb e
Ct of
temperance. They differed from the
ordinary addresses in the fact that
they are from a scientific standpoint,.
and showed the effect of alcohol on the
human system, and he also dealt with
other phages of the temperance ques-
tion, but on a higher plane than usual.
His aim is to convince the mind, by
scientific demonstration, of the nature
and effects of alcohol on the individual
and the state, and his arguments are
convincing. There was a great deal in
the addresses both interesting and pro -
Stable. At. the close of Mondaynight's
meeting a resolution was preseted by
Mr Jas. Scott. which protested against
the proposal before the Ontario E'du-
• national Association to removehysf-
- ology and hygiene, with other sub-
jects, from the list of studies on which
compulanrylexaminations were held for
High g h School entrap
ce, The practical
importance of the teaching of scientific,
temperance in the Public Schools was
aeeerted, and the demand made that
this subject be not crowded into the
back round by dropping it from the
examinations, lout that such aide and
tette shall be'eont(nuod as shall meet
the full demands of the lew.
