I)r, Ilodgetts, secretary of the Pro-
vincial board of health, has issued a
statement regarding smallpox in the
province. He censures the municipali-
ties for failure to take proper precau-
tions, and says that not one per cent
of the cases in the last decade would
have occurred had the law been prop-
erly observed, He estimated the loss
to the province through smallpox in
that time at $2,000,000.
—Collingwood is being asked to
vote in January, on a by-law to make
the license fee $2,500. The By-law is
being attacked by the Hotel -keepers'
Association as illegal. In Colling-
wood a local option by-law was de-
feated last year because it received
only 13 less than two-thirds. The
temperance people aRe now trying to
achieve the same result by a high
license, and the question is how high
a license may be before it becomes
prohibition.
— It is reported that H. Either, M. P.
P., may resign his seat in the Legisla-
ture to contest South Huron for the
House of Commons in the bye -elec-
tion. South Huron is vacant through
the recent death of R. B. Gunn, M.P.
It has always been Liberal in Federal
politics, and Mr. Gunn, by great per-
sonal popularity, redeemed it in the
last election by only 110. The party
realize that it can be held only by a
strong man, and Mr. Eilber'is agreed
to be that man.
*
— There is a great army of unem-
ployed in New York. The skilled
mechanics have felt the unhappy con-
dition of the money market the hard-
est. The stringency has compelled
the speculative builders to wait until
a thne when money will flow more
readily, and as a consequence it is
estimated that more than 25,000 men
in the building trades alone are out of
employment, with a total of all trades
of 125,000. The members of the Build-
ing Trades Employers' association say
that building operations will be con-
siderably Less in 1908 than they have
been in many years.
— In the estimates this year, there
is an item of thirty millions for the
Grand Trunk Pacific, and the work is
only nicely begun. And now some
are wondering how it comes that
thirty millions are needed, when Pre-
mier Laurier and Finance Minister
Fielding told the House, that $13,000,-
000 was all it would cost the country.
Even on a Wingham platform we
were told that sixteen millions would
be the outside limit of the cost. When
it is finished, it will be found that the
Conservative leader, and Hon. Mr.
Blair were nearer the mark, when
they placed it at not less than $150,-
000,000.

— Dr. Czerny, of Heiderberg, an
eminent authority on cancer, review-
ing the latest German researches into
the nature and treatment of the
disease, recommends a simple life as
among the best means of preventing
cancer. He advises that the skin be
kept most scrupulously clean, that
rich food be avoided, and that liquid
irritants be avoided. There are, he
.says, 40,000 deaths from cancer an-
nually in Germany. He admits that
"x" -rays and radium have frequently
checked cancerous growths and oc-
casionally cured them. He finds that
no certain conclusion as to their ef-
ficacy is to be drawn. Further re-
search is necessary.

— It was not the editor of a Con-
servative paper, that wrote the fol-
lowing paragraph, but the editor of
the Bulletin, published at Port
Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia, a Liberal
paper that has loyally supported the
Liberal party for sixteen years. It
ought to be known what he says; here
it is :—
"To -day the once greet Liberal
party for whose cause it was an
honor to fight, has become honey-
combed with traitors and grafters.
And this is the kind of material
Mr. Fielding and his solid eighteen
—(now seventeen) supporters from
Nova Scotia in Parliament would
fain ask us to cheer for. We will
continue pat'-ently to abide our
time."

—Mr. Telford, M.P. for North Grey,
has intervieved the Dominion Govern-
ment regarding the railway situation
for Owen Sound. He was informed
that the Government purposes extend-
ing the Intercolonial Railway to Geor-
gian Bay, and he has been using his
mfluenee to have the advantages of
Owen Sound as a terminal point recog-
nized, and to have the Georgian Bay
line come here. The Minister of Rail-
ways appears to be favorably impres-
sed with the possibilities of Owen
Sound, and Mr. Telford confidently
expects that Owen Sound will before
long hear the whistles of Intereolonlal
locomotives, and of steamers running
in connection with the railways.
—A pension to benefit every em-
ployee, from Manager 0. M. Hays,
down to the humblest office boy, has
been arranged by the Grand Trunk
Railway. It will be maintained by
the company without any assist-
ance from the then. Provision
is also inado for men incapaolted
by accident and even for men dis-
eharged without cause. At the last
annual meeting of the shareholders
the sum of $200,000 was set aside as a
nucleus, but it is thought, that at least
$75,000 additional will have to be set
aside every year, The pension
scheme will take effect January 1,
1908, and reach 35,000 employees.
Under the terms of the pension every
employee roust retire at the age of
sixty-five years. Tho amount he re-
ceives will depend on the number of
years of service.
—The main parliamentary estimates
for this Dominion are $120,000,000, and
when the supplementary estimates
aro added, and the customary "rush
votes" at the end of the session, the
amount is likely to be $130,000.000.
This menus $21.50 per head of otic
population. Deducting the thirty
millions for the Grand Trunk Pacific,
the nine millions given to the provi-
nces, and eight•millions expected to be
met by the Intercolonial, it still leaves
83 millions, or .$14 per head, as com-
pared with $7 per head in the United
States, Why the expenditure should
thus double similar expenditure in the
States is alarming. The Weekly Sun
speaks strongly, and says :
"Looked at from any stand-
point, and in the face of any pos-
sible comparison, a budget of
$130,000,000 for a population of
6,000,000 in a time of profound
peace, and in the absence of any
great national crisis, is appalling
and wholly unjustifiable."
HURON COUNTY INTERESTED.
Dr. Chisholm, M.P. for East Huron,
is greatly interested in Cold Storage,
as his many speeches in the House on
this subject, prove. He has sent the
Advance the following figures, show-
ing further, what cold storage facili-
ties would mean to the, fanners of
Huron county :—
In the county of Huron there are
54,426 sheep. Thousands of carcasses
of dressed lamb are now being placed
in the Ottawa Cold Storage to be
taken out for the Easter and Spring
trade.
In the county of Huron there are
51.4,022 bushels of potatoes raised an-
nually. Potatoes are stored in the
Fall in the St. Catharines Cold Stor-
age, in the Cold Storages at Ottawa,
London, Ont., St. John, N. B., to be
taken out in the late Spring months,
May, June and July. Two years ago
potatoes put in the St. Catharines
Cold Storage when potatoes were sel-
ling for 45 cts. per bag, when taken
out in the Spring brought $L00 per
bushel.
In the County of Huron there are
308,017 bearing apple trees. These
trees produce 2,642,362 bushels of ap-
ples, or 880,787 barrels.
That apples can be increased in
value a dollar a barrel by cold storage
is now widely known. Cold Storage
with co-operation has proved to be
of immense value to the growers of
small fruits in the district around St.
Catharines. Why would it not assist
the fruit growers of Huron county ?
880,787 bbls. of apples at $1, equals
$880,787, or, the increase in value in
apples alone by cold storage would be
nearly one million dollars annually in
this county.
In the county of Huron there are
31,506 turkeys, 17,079 ducks, 13,565
geese, 404,527 other fowls. With such
an amount of perishable products one
can see the importance to this county
of the Cold Storage Act.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF THE
BUSINESS WORLD.
First—Thou shall not wait for some-
thing to turn up, but thou shalt pull
off thy coat and go to work that thou
inayst prosper in thy affairs and make
the word "failure" spell "success."
Second—Thou shalt not be ;:ontent
to go about thy business looking like
a bum, for thou shouldst know that
thy personal appearance is better than
a letter of recommendation.
Third—Thou shalt not try to make
excuses, nor shalt thou say to those
who chide thee, "I did'nt think."
'Fourth --Thou shalt not wait to be
told what thou shalt do, nor in what
manner thou shalt do it, for thus may
thy days be long.in the job which for-
tune hath given thee.
Fifth—Thou shalt not fail to main-
tain thine own integrity, nor shalt
thou be guilty of anything that will
lessen thy good respect for thyself.
Sixth --Thou shalt not covet the
other fellow's job, nor his salary, nor
the position that he bath gained by his
own hard labor.
Seventh—Thou shalt not fail to live
within thy income, nor shall thou con-
tract any debts when thou canst see
thy svay clear to pay them.
Eighth—Thou shalt not be afraid to
blow thine own horn, for ho who
faileth to blow his own horn at the
proper occasion flndeth nobody stand-
ing ready to blow it for him.
Ninth—Thou shalt not hesitate to
say "no"; nor shalt thou fail to re-
member that there are times when it
is not safe to bind thyself by a hasty
j udgment.
Tenth—Thou shalt give every man a
square deal. This is the last and great
commandment, and there is no other
like unto lt, Upon this command-
ment hang all the law and the profits
of the business world.

Arrangements are being made to

and North Wellington representatives
and candidates in Clifford in the near
future.
The annual meeting of the Lakelet
Branch of the Bible Society, was held
in the Methodist church last Thurs-
day evening and was rather slimly
attended.
It is reported that John Winters is
again going. to be a candidate for the
municipal council, and that John
Gowdy will oppose Joseph Hainstock
for the deputy reeveship.
The annual meeting of McIntosh
Presbyterian congregation was well
attended. Financial things are on a
very firm basis in that congregation,
there being a balance of $288.03 on
hand after paying stipend and all run-
ning expenses. Their contributions to
the several schemes are also quite li-
beral.

Tightness and wheezing means your
trouble is deep-seated. To delay is
dangerons. Inflammation must be
drawn out at once. Rub the throat
and chest with Nerviline Porous
Plaster. Relief comes ip an hour.
The effect of the plaster relieves the
tightness and strain, draws out the
soreness, eases the pain. The pene-

Nerviline Treatment beats all others,

—The season just closed has been a
record breaker for the amount of
grain received at Goderich port. The
Goderich Elevator & Transit Com-
pany received forty-two cargoes, con-
sisting of 2,288,260 bushels of wheat,
061,615 bushels of oats, 321,843 bushels
of flaxseed and 60,857 bushels of bar-
ley, making a total of 3,341,575 bushels.
This is all Canadian grain from Fort
William and Port Arthur. In addi-
tion to this, there were about a mill-
ion and a quarter bushels of wheat
received by the Western Canada Flour
Mills 0o., so that the estimated total
of grain receipts for the season at the
port of Goderich is 4,000,000 bushels.
Nearly half this amount, or 2,225,000
bnshels, were carried by the Scottish
Hero, which made seventeen calls at
this post duriiig the season.
A CRIPPLE'S AGONY.
Sciatic Pains Made Limbs Useless and
Life a Burden --South American •
Rheumatic Cure Snapped the Pain
Chords and Cast Away the Crutches.
James Smith, Dairyman, Grimsby,
Ont., writes: "I was a great sufferer
from sciatica. For a time I was com-
pletely laid up and for two weeks I
was compelled to go on crutches. My
limbs were almost useless. I tried
many remedies without benefit. South
American Rheumatic Cure was re-
commended. It took six bottles to ef-
fect a cure, but I am thoroughly
cured, and I heartily recommend it as
the greatest of remedies." (10)
