—Of the 22,000 miles of railway in
the Dominion, Ontario has " nearly
8,000 miles. Quebec comes next with
8,573 miles, and Manitoba a close third
with 3,110 miles.
• —Hon. Mr. Graham has introduced
a resolution providing for the setting
apart of a fund of $1,000,000, to be ex-
pended at the rate of $200,000 a year,
for the elimination of the Ievel cross-
ing danger. This money is to be ex-
pended under the authority of the
Railway Commission, It is proposed
that, the Provinces and municipalities
shall also contribute to the cost. The
railways will also be .expected to bear
part of the burden, Not much can be
accomplished for $200,000 a year, but
it is a step forward in the right direc-
tion.
Lost Energy
Restored by Psyehine,
Mr. Geo. Pratt, of Clarkson,Ont.,
says : ac Pour years ago my soh ilbert
was so run down, thin and emaciated,
that we thought he was going into a de-
cline and feared he would never pull
through th3 severe cold of the winter
months. The boy had no appetite and
seeiwcd to have lost all energy and inter,
est In life. He was altogether in terribly
bad shape. MS condition caused us the
gravest anxiety.
'erortunatcly I procured PSYCIIINE
for him and this soon gave him a nevi/
lease of life. Itis really remarkable how
rapidly this splendid medicine brought
about a change. After taking one or two
bottles he was hardly recognizable as the
same youth. PSYCHINE effected a
speedy cure and he was soon able to work
about on the {arra agate. Today ho is a
misuse young i'ellow,Audit' anything, rltrotiger
than Ma brothers. Nothing in, tate Way of
hard Work seoma to aifeot foal. I cannot
sneak too highly of VSYClx1NY. It oertatnl7

—A new treaty bas been signed at
Bangkok, Siam, which adds fifteen
thousand square miles of Siam to the
British Empire. The territory in-
cludes three provinces. The Empire
on which "the sun never sets" con-
tinues to increase. British rule brings
with it civilization, liberty and re-
ligious freedom.
—At this advanced stage of our civi-
lization, nothing should be left undone
that will prevent the ravages of dis-
ease, It is estimated that at least 81,-
000 people die in Canada every year,
and of these it is claimed that one-
third die, while wage-earners, of pre-
ventable diseases. In other words,
eve are losing 27,000 lives that we
should not lose. Placing the wage-
earning ability at $1.000 annually, we
are losing twenty-seven million dollars
every year from preventable diseases,
in addition to the expense that is in-
separable from sickness. At least,
such is the calculation of one statis-
clan,
—The Ottawa Citizen reports as fol.
lows : "In the Commons, in reply to a
question of Dr. Chisholm, the Minis-
ter of Finance stated that it was not
the intention of the government to
increase the present rate of interest
(3 per cent.) paid depositors in govern-
ment savings banks. But Mr. Field-
ing also added the important an-
nouncement that he had embodied in
his budget a scheme whereby deposi•
tors could convert their savings into
Dominion stock bearing interest at a
higher rate than that now paid. In
other words, it will, be possible for the
people to secnre government bonds at
a reasonable rate. A better incentive
to saving among a large proportion of
the Canadian people could not be de.
vised, provided the rate of interest is
attractive enough. There will always
be too the moral Influence exerted by
consciousness, that it is possible for
any thrifty citizen to become, to a
more or less degree, a national share-
holder. Such a feeling must be favor-
ably apparent nt in the o' rens and ad -
van ement of the country."

—A bill has passed both houses of
the Diet of Sweden, providing that
hereafter all persons, without distinc-
tion of sex, who shall have attained a
designated age and fulfill other pre-
scribed conditions, shall exercise the
parliamentary franchise. This is the

—It is claimed that Geo. S. Cove, a
well-known Boston inventor, has per-
fected an apparatus for storing the
sun's rays and utilising the heat en-
ergy thus developed to generate an
electric current sufficiently brilliant
to light bis workshops. In two days
of sunshine the device generates and
stores enough electricity to last six
days. The machine can be built for
$100. If this can be made a success, it
will be among the greatest inventions
of the age.
—Attorney -General Foy's law re-
form measure provides :—That appeals
to the Privy Council be abolished,
save where the matter in controversy
exceeds $10,000 in value, or where the
question involved affects rights of
great magnitude, or 'where the liberty
of the subject is involved. Also that
the jurisdiction of countyand district
courts be increased to allow the trial
of actions under contract up to $800,
and on personal actions, save criminal
conversations or libel, up t,o $500, It
also provides that solicitors and clients
be allowed to enter into an agreement
in advance for the payment of a fixed
sum for services to be rendered.

A SURPRISED MINISTER.
"For many years I have been a suf-
ferer from bronchial catarrh, and had
despaired of anything like a cure.
Judge of my pleasant surprise when
I first used Ayomei, which brought
complete relief, llyomei has been a
veritable godsend."—Rev. Chas. Hart-
levySardinia Ohio,

lieve catarrh to be incurable.

—An order in council has been pass-
ed at Ottawa prohibiting the exporta-
tion of black bass, maskinonge and
speckled trout from Ontario for five
years.
'—The report of the Minister of Rail-
ways contains some suggestive statis-
tics, The people of Canada have been
exceedingly liberal with railways,
having given them cash subsidies of
over $185,000,000, besides 52,000,000
acres of land, and further have guar-
anteed their bonds to nearly $59,000,-
000 more. It is said that this does not
include the completed railway given
over to the C. P. R. as bonus. On the
line of taxation too, the railways have
been favored, for while the rural
municipalities in 1007 paid $0,820,000
in taxes, the railways paid $1,300,000,
and yet the assessment of the rural
municipalities is less than half the
capital of the railways. It is pointed
out also, that Michigan alone, with
only one-third of the railway mileage
of the Dominion, collected more than
three times the railway tax that Can-
ada did. It looks as if the railways
did not pay their fair share of taxa-
tion,
How To Improve Health.
No better way than to improve the
blood, cleanse and enrich it, give it
nourishment and strength. This can
be quickly done by Dr. Hamilton's
Pills which have a vitalizing, purify-
ing effect that is unequalled 'in any
other medicine. When lots of pure
rich blood circulating to all parts of
the body, with snap and vim running
through every vein and artery, robust
health is inevitable. No cleansing
building tonic is as good as Dr. Hamil-
ton's Pills. Sold by all dealers, '
Where The Money Went.
A well known resident of Stayner
had rather a peculiar experience re-
cently, Having made some purchases
he went to his till for the money, and
found same had disappeared. On
close examination he diseovered the
nest of a mnnee lined with bills ftoxn
ones to tens. It is needless to say
that itrno t as the expensive a
n ivenese

His effusions Were totally different
from those of the Poet Burns' when
he upturned the mouse's nest as be
plowed his Ayrshire garden in the
18th century.

Nearly Poisoned.
Miss Jean Mundell, of Listowel,
while visiting in Toronto last ww*eek,.
h ld a rather narrow escape from
death by ptomaine poisoning, While
dining at the house of a friend she ate
sortie canned tomatoes, and in a short
time began to feel very 111, As it hap-
pened the lady with whom Miss Mun-
dell was visiting had just the week be-
fore had a shriller experience after
eating canned sardines, and as she
had some of her medicine left, used
it with such good effect that 111iss
Mundell recovered after two or three
days' rather severe illness.
New Theory About Rheumatism.
This disease is constitutional, caused
by virus in the blood that circulates to
all parts of the body, To euro you
must use a constitutional treatment.
Nothing so completely dispels the
poison from the system as lserrozone.
It purifies and renews the blood, clears
it of every taint, The system is, vitali-
zed and strengthened and thus en-
abled to fight off threatened attacks.
Not only does Ferrozone relieve at
once, but it cures rheumatism, gout
and lumbago permanently. Results
guaranteed, 50c boxes at all dealers.
Insurance Case.
An interesting case was tried at
Walkerton Assizes last week. In the
matter of Kaake vs. West Wawanosh
Fire Insurance Co. It was a dispute
as to whether the barn of J. D. Kaake,
near Kingax1, was destroyed, by light-
ning or wind. The plaintiff sought to
establish lightning as being respon-
sible for the damage, in which case he
would have been entitled to $950 fire
insurance on the barn and contents.
The Company were equally strenuous
to confine the damage to the wind
and thus exempt them from any lia-
bility in the matter. Some twenty-
three witnesses were called and a lot
of expert evidence taken. Particular
stress was laid on a cow which had
been killed in the barn. The animal
it seems was swollen, and burst a few
hours after death, and began also to
immediately decompose. This, the
plaintiff claimed, was evid..ace of it
having been struck by lightning, and
Annus McDonald, veterinary surgeon
of Tiverton, substantiated this theory.
The defence, however, maintained
that these symptoms might also
appear if the cow was suddenly killed
by the falling of the barn, especially
as it was hot weather, which would
quicken the decomposition of the cow.
The fanning mill some distance from
the cow was likewise said to have been
hit by Iightniug, as part of it was
scorched, This was the signal for an
argument on the eccentricities of
lightning, the , defence maintaining
that owing to their different positions
it was impossible for the same light-
ning to hit both the fanning mill and
cow. As three other barns in the
immediate vicinity were blown down
by the storm. and as Kaake was un-
able to establish proof positive that
his barn had been struck by lightning,
the Jury returned a verdict in favor of
the Insurance Company, and the
action was dismissed with costs.—
(Walkerton Times:
A GOOD STOMACH
Means Good Health, Cheerfulness,
Ambition, Persistency and
Success.
Mi-o-na will cure your dyspopala or
any other stomach trouble by building
up the flabby walls and making the
stomach so strong that it will digest
food without pepsin or other artificial
aid.
In other words, Mi-o-na cures dys-
pepsia by removing the cause.
J. Walton McKibbon is the agent
for Mi-o-na in Wingham and he says
to every reader of the Advance whose
stomach is weak, who has indigestion
or dyspepsia, that Mi-o-na is guaran-
teed to cure or money back.
The price is only 50 ets. a large box,
and one box is all you need to prove
that y a
on the right road to
ouro g
health and happiness.
Mr. Geo. Linder of corner 11fill and
Park streets, Elmira, Ont„ says : "For
about ten years I have been severely
troubled with stomach trouble and in-
digestion so bad that I could not re-
tain my food after eating. I Could
not eat meat, or scarcely anything
and had headaches and constipation.
I secured a package of Mi-o-na with
the result that now after baying taken
two boxer, I am entirely cured and
can eat anything, digest perfectly and
am feeling fine. Mi-o•na also over-
came my constipation. I am only too
glad to publiely endorse and recom-
mend Mi-o-na."

which is au evidence that Ontario Real

There is no disguising the fact how-

Many of these farms can be sold by as

when the prices for farm products were
much lower than at preeent.
It will certainly pay any intending
