It is written in one straight line and based on the movement required to write ordinary ionghand. It re- quires no shadings, back slants or vertical strokes which are " hard to remember " and require "slackening up " to make correctly. The Gregg is thus easier to learn, write and read. A speedy, accurate stenographer is the result. The Principal of our Shorthaifd School graduated under the author of the " Gregg system, and her two assistants are graduates of the Busi- ness Educators' Association. Yoti are assured of the very best tuition here. More information in our large illustrated catalogue, which we would like to mail you free. First lesson on Gregg sent free on application. A greater demand for our gradu- ates than we can supply. FOREST CITY BUSINESS COLLEGE Members of Business Educators' Association. J. W.

DEAR Sin :--.I write you because you Imam surprised tae sorrrewhet the pact two weeks, knowing the versatility of your pen, which is guided by a fertile rain. I have wondered in that you have not commented upon, and offered some solation of, the trouble now ex- isting between Jap, Chine() and Vic- torians, Being up in tray conning tower the other evening, I threw tl,e flashes of nay searchlight far away to the laast, until its. rays rested upon Japan, with its many millions so cramped for room because of the mul- titude of its people. Then veering round a Little, the rays fell upon the teeming millions of Cliina, also cramp- ed, starving and poor. I saw theta walking hither :unci thither, but with eyes always turned to the westward. They are watching ; but why do they watch? Because they have sent out spies to spy the land flowing with nuik and honey. .And as they watch they behold the spies retttruing, with the grapes, the pomegranates and the figs, and with one resolve they agree to go up and possess the land. 'Then they send out other spies, and tell them to mark out the harbors, the de- fenses, the waterways; find out the strength of their navies, their armies, and of their cities and the people who dwell therein. As we watch from our tower these also return, and we hear there telling that the land from whence they have returned is very rich and very large, but that the peo- ple are so few in number that they, with care, could possess themselves of thole heritage. Then turning my searchlight completely round, the rays thereof fall directly upon our own be- loved Canada, with its peaceful homes, well-filled barns and fertile plains. The question arises, what shall we do with Canada? As the Lord pros- pers us, so will we give of our abund- ance, but our heritage, our beautiful heritage, no heathen shall wrench it from us. We will bow to no authority save the great "I Asa," Our sons and our daughters shall not be polluted by the idols of Baal, and if they come it shall be to serve, not to rule. If they come it must be by twos and threes, not by the thousands. The number per year shall be limited, and the law obeyed as the law of the "Modes and Persians, which could not be broken. Now, sir, I am not pessimistic, but yet with alarm I look upon the great in- flux of these Mongolian people, and feel the time is fully ripe to call a halt, not only of the Japs and Chinese, but also Doukhabors, and many others who are undesirable and unwelcome. Now, Sir, I will not trespass further on your good nature, but rather would prefer to remain, respectfully yours, CANADA FOR EVER. flowick. Township Council met on Wednes- day of this week. Howick Fall Fair will be held in Gorrte on Saturday, Oct. 5. Orange Hill anniversary services will be held on Sunday, 22nd, and the supper on the 24th.

It will chop all kinds of meat, raw or cooked, and all kinds of fruit and vegetables, into clean-cut, uniform pieces, fine or coarse, as wanted, without mashing, and with great rapidity. It does away with the chopping knife and bowl entirely, doing its work in one-tenth the time, and producing an absolutely uni- form product. For cutting sausage meat it cannot be surpassed. Bold by J. D. Burns Aro Von Subject To Stiffness ? Perhaps it is in the neck or shoulders. First thing is a good rub with Nervi - line. No more speedy remedy can be adopted,. When applied to the mus- cles Nerviline gives theta flexibility and vigor ; inflammation, soreness and stiirness disappear. "Whether in the chest or throat nothing can sur- pass Nerviline" writes O. B. Denton, uinber Merchant at Oak Bay, N.B. "Rubbed on at night, trouble is gone by morning. I have proved Nerviline a great medicine." Everyone says the same, and Nerviline always makes good, 25c bottles sold everywhere. -The Kincardine Reporter reports two hay fork accidents On 'Thurs- day last ?ilr. Smith Darrell, south line, met with an accident which nearly cost him his life. As it was he was badly hurt. IIe was standing watch -1 ing the hayfork work when one of the blocks gave way and struck him in the abclortten. The blow was so severe that it rendered him uncoil,l r,cious and for a time it was feared that he haul been seriously injured internally. On Saturday last RIr. Juo. McLeod, 7th Kincardine, has a very narrow escape from death. As it was he was badly injured and for a couple of hours his life was despaired of. He was assisting in drawing in grain. The hayfork at the top of the barn pulled out of the hook and luckily descended in such a manner as to give Mr. McLeod a glancing blow. Two of itis teeth were knocked out and he fell to the floor insensible. His escape from death was a miracle." ALMA LADIES' COLLEGE 27th Year ST. THOMAS, ONT.

The License Commissioners niet here on Thursday, expecting to deal with the matter of the Waverley license, but as there was no applica- tion for a license, nothing could be done so far as granting a new Iicense, and no action was taken in reference to the contra petition beyond receiv- ing it. On Friday last Mr. D. A. Forrester was driving along the gravel road north towards town, and had just reached the grade this side of the creek by Churchill's when an automo- bile owned in Wingham appeared on the brow of the hill above, and was abreast of him like a flash; His horse instantly bolted to one side and tried to climb the bank, and failing to do so, it instantly bolted to the other side and tried similar capers, ending up by upsetting the rig and violently throw- ing Mr, Forrester out. This all trans- ferred in 20 seconds, but in the mean- time the rig was smashed, and Mr. Forrester was severely bruised. The Origin Of Gall -stones. They are simply dried bile, made up of crystalline constituents of that fluid. Very common is this disease among merchants, clergymen, shop girls and those of sedentary habits. Prevention consists in rnaintainingcor- rect action of the liver and bowels, which is best accomplished by Dr. Hamilton's Pills. No person using this medicine need fear gall -stones, nor will ,they ever be bilious. Sound digestio, good appetite, a clear color will evidence the health giving pro- perties of Dr. Hamilton's Pills, which are the safest and best for general family use. Insist on having only Dr. Hamilton's Pills of Mandrake and Butternut, 25c per box at all dealers. ---mss---•--+-r Kleinburg, Sept. 13th. -A serious wreck occurred on the 0. P.
