-Canada is not alone in feeling the
present depression in the labor mar-
ket, Nearly 1,000 machinists in Chi-
cago are idle, and railroads west of
Chicago have laid off an aggregate of
25,000 men.
-Since the Dominion general elec-
tions of 1004, it is said that there have
been held 37 by-elections. The Gov-
ernment lost only one seat -London -
and gained several.. No wonder they
so willing proclaimed a day of Thanks-
giving,
* *
-A great Canal project is being con-
sidered in the United States, that is a
canal from Minneapolis to New Or-
leans on the Gulf of Mexico. By
means of this, vessels could be laden
with wheat at Minneapolis and sail
direct to Europe, thus saving railway
carriage, unloading and- loading on
vessels. It is also pointed out, that
when the Panama canal is completed,
traffic would be direct from Minne-
apolis, Chicago and St. Louis to China
and Japan.

-Regarding the London election
trials, The News says that "Conserva-
tives in London put in a plea with the
attorney -general that there should
be Leniency shown, but that the re-
sponse of the attorney -general was
unmistakable. Mr. Foy is alleged to
have stated that the day of sawoffs
and settlements in cases involving
questions of electoral immorality,
whether sought by one party or the
other, or by both parties, was ended
in Ontario." Correct, Mr. Foy, let
the guilty suffer no matter which
party they belong to, Let us have
clean elections.

-The Weekly Sun criticises the
reckless expenditure for public build-
ings, Whitby is to have a new
postofflce and $5,000 was paid for the
lot, when $1,500 was a good price for
it. The Sun adds -"It is largely be-
cause of this that we have a prospec-
tive expenditure of $125,000 this year,
as compared with an outlay of $43,-
000;000 in 1897. The present financial
stringency is, in part, due to the ty-
ing up of the public resources in un-
profitable undertakings. And the evil
will go on and increase until people
generally become sufficiently intelli-
gent to learn that the money for this
attempted wholesale bribery - the
money spent in this wasteful way -
conies out of their own pockets."

-Professor Ravenstein, of the Royal
Geographical Society, has estimated
that the fertile lands of the globe
amount to 28,000,000 square miles, the
steppes to 14,000,000 and the deserts to
1,000,000 square miles. Fixing 207 per-
sons to the square mile for fertile
lands, ten for steppes and one for
deserts, as the greatest population
that the earth can properly nourish,
the professor arrives at the conclusion
that when the number of inhabitants
reaches about six thousand million the
earth will be peopled to its fullest ca-
pacity. At present it contains some-
what more than one-quarter of that
number. If the rate ofincreaseshown
by the latest census statistics should
be uniformly maintained, Prof. Raven -
stein shows that the globe will be fully
populated about the year 2072.

-Nearly one and one half billion
dollars is the amount of Fraternal
Society insurance in force in the Pro-
vince of Ontario on the lst of January
last, according to Government reports.
This enormous sum was carried by 26
societies having.a membership of 273,-
262 in Ontario, but a total number of
certificates of 991,431. The number of
claims that matured in 1906 was 1,769
in Ontario, meaning a payment of
$2,390,452 in insurance benefits, and
$129,777 in disability benefits. The
total assets of the societies amounted
to $22,135,385, with liabilities of
$1,922,032. In addition, 91 societies
carry sick and funeral benefits. Last
year $97,701 was paid in funeral bene-
fits on account of 1,614 deaths. There
were 23,01.7 sick during the year, ne-
cessitating the payment of $507,766 in
benefits and $69,185 to doctors, The
assets are placed at $2,035,871, and the
liabilities at $21,160,75.

-There are not wanting indications
that the two cent railway rate will
yet prevail in Ontario, as it does in
Michigan and other States, where the
railways pay mach higher taxation
than they do in Ontario. The report
of the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion shows that in Ohio, Indiana, and
Michigan the average earnings per
mile from passenger traffic are $2,500.
On the Canada Southern, in Lower
Ontario, the average is $4,000, and
there is reason to believe an equally
good showing is made by those por-
tions of the Grand 'Trunk and Cana-
dian Pacific system which run
through a similar territory 'to that
served by the Canada Southern. Yet
the Grand Trunk and Canadian Nei -
RC Charge three cents per mile, while
in Indiana and Ohio, and over prac-
tically the Whole of Michigan, the
eharga is Ilrnited to twee cents. It
should net regtriro my very long en-
quiry to convince the Hallway ,t om-
mission that two eentwi per mile'
should be the rllaxtnlum charge in
eider Ontario at all event* '
BAD FINANCE AT OTTAWA,
(From Termite Telegram,)
Canada's national finance is one con-
tributing cause to the present tempor-
ary stringency.
Canada has been extravagant in her
expenditures at Ottawa,.
Perhaps it was beyond the power of
Hon W. S. Fielding to restrain the
national craze for extravagance in
public expenditures.
But the statesmanship of Mr. Field-
ing should have drawn the means of
national extravagance from outside
the country.
A ttnely importation of capital
would have prevented the Canadian
Government from being extravagant
with Canadian funds that are needed
in the ordinary commercial, industrial
and agricultural business of the
country.

GREAT INDEED

Mr. J. Walton lVIclCibbon, Druggist
of our Town, Interested.
TILL+ PUBLIC l aitarBL, AND P()C'rOns
EVERYWHERE PLEASED.
Probably no branch of science has
made such wonderful strides es have
been made in the practice of medicine.
Diseases that a number of years ago
were considered fatal, aro now known
to be curable. Even consumption is
no longer looked upon with the dread
that it formerly inspired.
It is right on this line of wasting
diseases that we now have news of a
wonderful discovery -one that is
bound to revolutionize the science of
medicine and startle the world,
Everyone is familiar with methods
that have been employed by physi-
cians for years, in cases that were
afraid would develop into at decline.
In all troubles of the throat, lungs,
bronchial tubes and other similar ail-
ments that were known to end dis-
astrously, about the first thing the
doctor would do would be to recom-
mend cod liver oil, for cod liver oil
hits been recognized for a great many
years as possessing peculiar medicinal
properties particularly adapted for
the cure of such troubles.
Everyone knows the objection, how-
ever, to the use of this nauseating
remedy. So extremely disagreeable is
the taste and smell of cod liver oil
that many people have actually been
unable to take a single dose of it.
Many others have made heroic efforts
to take the medicine, but have been
obliged to abandon it after struggling
with the horrible stuff for a few
days.
The consequence is that thousands
have drifted into incurable diseases
who might have been saved, had it
been possible to administer this
potent medicine, Enough people
have been able to assimilate cod liver
oil to prove to the medicine profes-
sion and the world at large, its in-
trinsic value. Such patients as were
blessed with unusually strong stom-
achs derived benefit from cod liver oil.
Why then, could not a form of it be
devised to be administered to patients
whose digestive organs had been
weakened by disease?
• This -is exactly what scientist and
chemists have been aiming at for
years, and this is exactly what has
been accomplished by two prominent
French chemists. Their secret has
been brought to America and our own
Mr, McKibben has succeeded in con-
necting himself with the prominent
fir Bo
m of Boston
C1
uemists who are plac-
ing this new preparation on the mar-
ket. The preparation in question,
now that it has been discovered, like
all other great inventions, is simple.
By a peculiar process the liver of the
cod is treated in such a manner that
there is obtained an extract which
contains all, and only all, of the cura-
tive properties that have made cod
liver oil famous. The horrible smell-
ing, nauseating -tasting fat that has
always been a part of this remedy has
been entirely discarded.
This curative extract is the basis of
Vino], which Mr. McKibben is pre-
senting to the public. It is combined
with Organic Iron and Beef Peptone,
dissolved in a specially made medi-
cinal wine, and the result is a pre-
paration that is delicious to the taste
and extremely comforting to the
stomach.
Mr. Mcltibben has indeed been
fortunate in making arrangements
to handle this new remedy, which
goes under the name of Vinol. It is
worth any one's while to talk to him
about it and to learn directly from
him the good that is being done by
finding a way to administer what has
always been a horrible and much
dreaded medicine, in a form that is
actually delicious, to say nothing of
being a hundred tines more ef-
ficient.

tive expenditure of $125,000 this year,
as compared with an outlay of $43,-
000;000 in 1897. The present financial
stringency is, in part, due to the ty-
ing up of the public resources in un-
profitable undertakings. And the evil
will go on and increase until people
generally become sufficiently intelli-
gent to learn that the money for this
attempted wholesale bribery - the
money spent in this wasteful way -
conies out of their own pockets."

-Professor Ravenstein, of the Royal
Geographical Society, has estimated
that the fertile lands of the globe
amount to 28,000,000 square miles, the
steppes to 14,000,000 and the deserts to
1,000,000 square miles. Fixing 207 per-
sons to the square mile for fertile
lands, ten for steppes and one for
deserts, as the greatest population
that the earth can properly nourish,
the professor arrives at the conclusion
that when the number of inhabitants
reaches about six thousand million the
earth will be peopled to its fullest ca-
pacity. At present it contains some-
what more than one-quarter of that
number. If the rate ofincreaseshown
by the latest census statistics should
be uniformly maintained, Prof. Raven -
stein shows that the globe will be fully
populated about the year 2072.

-Nearly one and one half billion
dollars is the amount of Fraternal
Society insurance in force in the Pro-
vince of Ontario on the lst of January
last, according to Government reports.
This enormous sum was carried by 26
societies having.a membership of 273,-
262 in Ontario, but a total number of
certificates of 991,431. The number of
claims that matured in 1906 was 1,769
in Ontario, meaning a payment of
$2,390,452 in insurance benefits, and
$129,777 in disability benefits. The
total assets of the societies amounted
to $22,135,385, with liabilities of
$1,922,032. In addition, 91 societies
carry sick and funeral benefits. Last
year $97,701 was paid in funeral bene-
fits on account of 1,614 deaths. There
were 23,01.7 sick during the year, ne-
cessitating the payment of $507,766 in
benefits and $69,185 to doctors, The
assets are placed at $2,035,871, and the
liabilities at $21,160,75.

-There are not wanting indications
that the two cent railway rate will
yet prevail in Ontario, as it does in
Michigan and other States, where the
railways pay mach higher taxation
than they do in Ontario. The report
of the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion shows that in Ohio, Indiana, and
Michigan the average earnings per
mile from passenger traffic are $2,500.
On the Canada Southern, in Lower
Ontario, the average is $4,000, and
there is reason to believe an equally
good showing is made by those por-
tions of the Grand 'Trunk and Cana-
dian Pacific system which run
through a similar territory 'to that
served by the Canada Southern. Yet
the Grand Trunk and Canadian Nei -
RC Charge three cents per mile, while
in Indiana and Ohio, and over prac-
tically the Whole of Michigan, the
eharga is Ilrnited to twee cents. It
should net regtriro my very long en-
quiry to convince the Hallway ,t om-
mission that two eentwi per mile'

BAD FINANCE AT OTTAWA,
(From Termite Telegram,)
Canada's national finance is one con-
tributing cause to the present tempor-
ary stringency.
Canada has been extravagant in her
expenditures at Ottawa,.
Perhaps it was beyond the power of
Hon W. S. Fielding to restrain the
national craze for extravagance in
public expenditures.
But the statesmanship of Mr. Field-
ing should have drawn the means of
national extravagance from outside
the country.
A ttnely importation of capital
would have prevented the Canadian
Government from being extravagant
with Canadian funds that are needed
in the ordinary commercial, industrial
and agricultural business of the
country.

Mr. J. Walton lVIclCibbon, Druggist
of our Town, Interested.
TILL+ PUBLIC l aitarBL, AND P()C'rOns
EVERYWHERE PLEASED.
Probably no branch of science has
made such wonderful strides es have
been made in the practice of medicine.
Diseases that a number of years ago
were considered fatal, aro now known
to be curable. Even consumption is
no longer looked upon with the dread
that it formerly inspired.
It is right on this line of wasting
diseases that we now have news of a
wonderful discovery -one that is
bound to revolutionize the science of
medicine and startle the world,
Everyone is familiar with methods
that have been employed by physi-
cians for years, in cases that were
afraid would develop into at decline.
In all troubles of the throat, lungs,
bronchial tubes and other similar ail-
ments that were known to end dis-
astrously, about the first thing the
doctor would do would be to recom-
mend cod liver oil, for cod liver oil
hits been recognized for a great many
years as possessing peculiar medicinal
properties particularly adapted for
the cure of such troubles.
Everyone knows the objection, how-
ever, to the use of this nauseating
remedy. So extremely disagreeable is
the taste and smell of cod liver oil
that many people have actually been
unable to take a single dose of it.
Many others have made heroic efforts
to take the medicine, but have been
obliged to abandon it after struggling
with the horrible stuff for a few
days.
The consequence is that thousands
have drifted into incurable diseases
who might have been saved, had it
been possible to administer this
potent medicine, Enough people
have been able to assimilate cod liver
oil to prove to the medicine profes-
sion and the world at large, its in-
trinsic value. Such patients as were
blessed with unusually strong stom-
achs derived benefit from cod liver oil.
Why then, could not a form of it be
devised to be administered to patients
whose digestive organs had been
weakened by disease?
• This -is exactly what scientist and
chemists have been aiming at for
years, and this is exactly what has
been accomplished by two prominent
French chemists. Their secret has
been brought to America and our own
Mr, McKibben has succeeded in con-
necting himself with the prominent
fir Bo
m of Boston
C1
uemists who are plac-
ing this new preparation on the mar-
ket. The preparation in question,
now that it has been discovered, like
all other great inventions, is simple.
By a peculiar process the liver of the
cod is treated in such a manner that
there is obtained an extract which
contains all, and only all, of the cura-
tive properties that have made cod
liver oil famous. The horrible smell-
ing, nauseating -tasting fat that has
always been a part of this remedy has
been entirely discarded.
This curative extract is the basis of
Vino], which Mr. McKibben is pre-
senting to the public. It is combined
with Organic Iron and Beef Peptone,
dissolved in a specially made medi-
cinal wine, and the result is a pre-
paration that is delicious to the taste
and extremely comforting to the
stomach.
Mr. Mcltibben has indeed been
fortunate in making arrangements
to handle this new remedy, which
goes under the name of Vinol. It is
worth any one's while to talk to him
about it and to learn directly from
him the good that is being done by
finding a way to administer what has
always been a horrible and much
dreaded medicine, in a form that is
actually delicious, to say nothing of
being a hundred tines more ef-
ficient.
