Is the theme we bring to your, notice at this time. Some wise man
has said—"My son, get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get under-
standing." The wise man to -day says—"Get a New Snit or Over-
coat, and when you are getting, get it made to your order; in your
own town, where you know what you are getting, and that it is
genuine Tailor-made." That would be wisdom; that would be un- ,
derstanding. Our NEW SPRING GOODS have arrived, and it is
not exaggerating to say that they include the nicest lines we have
had for some time, and at prices corresponding with the qualities
shown. Space will not allow ns to go into details, but
WE HAVE THE GOODS
and can make them any style desired. We are dealing in strong
statements, but will back them up. We have yet to find the style
of garments we cannot duplicate. Although plain, neat styles are -
more in line with strictly high-class tailoring this season, it is for
you to name your style—WE WILL MAKE IT.
OUR -"FURNISHING DEPARTMENT is filled with the newest
and best for Spring. and Summer in all lines.
. We have also added a first -plass line of Jewelry.

Georgian Bay Canal,
A. deputation waited on the Ottawa
Government last week to urge the
building of the Georgian Bay cans
either as apublic work or through
private company. In reply the Pre -
mice said he was in favor of the con
struotion of the work by the Govern-
ment, but that the undertaking could
not be gone on with until the pre
sent financial. demands on the Ex
chequer are relieved.
Affects Owen Sound.
The effect of recent amendments to
the Liquor Law, is thus described by
the Owen Sound Sun ;—"May let was
a sorry day for many of our towns
men. The new Liquor Act went `into
force. The most important effect, as
regards Owen Sound, is to stop the
sale of cases and kegs by the brewery.
The "beer garden," therefore, is a
thing of the past ; whereat residents
in its near vicinity rejoice. What its
former habitues will do remains to be
seen. They may endeavor to import
but that course is fraught with risk,
for inspectors now have the power to
seize liquors in transit ; and it is up to
the consignee to convince the authori-
ties that it is not bought for re -sale.
One In 7 Called by Consumption.
&dreadful plague indeed when you
consider that in incipient stages it can
be cured. Take care of the little cold
before it becomes a big one. When
,the throat is sore and it hurts to ex-
ypard your chest, rub in Nerviline and
immediately apply one of Poison's
Nerviline Porous Plasters, Pain and
tightness aro at once relieved. Inflam-
mation and soreness gradually disap-
pear and fatal illness is thus avoided.
Nerviline Plasters act as an exterior
application in curing colds in the mus -
.;les, in pleurisy and headaches they
have no equal. Keep these remedies
right in your home.
Apples Without Worms.
How much the loss is when a very
large percentage of the best apples in
the crop are wormy ? The prevalence
of wormy ,dapples is becoming greater
in Ontario, owing to the rapid spread
of the codling moth. Whethey this
spread is increased through a growing
scarcity of wild birds, which used to
prey upon them, and thus keep their
numbers down, or through some other
conditions being removed it is dif-
ficult to say, but the only practical
means at the command of the farmer
is the consistent spraying of the apple
trees. The most important spraying
time for this purpose is just when the
bright apple blossoms fall, and the
calyx of the blossom, the green ring of
leaves underlying the blossom leaves,
close themselves. If the poison can
be placed upon the blossom, just be-
fore it closes, it will stay there, and
kill any worm that tries to enter at
any time during the season. For the
codling moth alone, arsenate of lead is
a good spray. It can be used, in the
proportion of 3 to 5 pounds of arsenate
of lead, to every 100 gallons of
water.

The prospect is as uninviting as it is unnecessary.

It is• suprising the satisfaction that comes from saving and'

Child Burned To Death.
Sorrow came to the home of Mr.
and Mrs. A. M. Hodgins, con. 3, Ste-
phen, when their little son, Harvey
Raymond, was burned to death. The
parents had gone to the bath only a
short time before, where they were
engaged fanning grain, leaving the
two little sons; aged 13 months and
three years, in the house. On return-
ing to the house and opening the
door the mother was horrified to find
the house full of smoke. She immedi-
ately called the husband, andtogether
they entered the building, only to find
that by some means the younger son
had been burned to death, while the
+ether little fellow was none the worse.
How it occurred is a mystery, but it is
supposed his clothes had caught fire in
some way, as the parts . of the body
covered by=the clothes were the most
severely burned, the hands, face and
hair being only lightly touched by the
flames.
A Sad Story.
James Johnston lives in Mulmur
township, not far from Orangeville.
His wife, daughter and three eons are
confined in jail on charges of insanity.
To the magistrate, Mr. Johnston said
he married Mary Jane'•. Johnston at
Elm Grove, Simcoe Co., forty years
ago.- It was not until thirteen ytears
later when he was teaching school at
Columbus, Ontario County, and just
before the birth of their daughter,
Ada, that she began to show signs of
lunacy. At that time she threatened
to poison him. On one occasion, when
on his farm, a cattle buyer had a gun,
which Mrs. Johnston secured and
threatened to shoot him. She also
attempted to burn down the buildings
of the witness. She is not an epileptic
but incurably insane, 'Evidence was
also given in detail to show that
James, aged 36;- Albert, aged 33;
David, aged 23; and Ada Jane, aged
20, are all quite irresponsible. •

AN OPEN LETTER
Results So Surprising That Thy
Seem Marvelous Are Common
To Mi-o-na—The One
Dependable Stomach
Remedy.
Mrs. J. A. Pillow, North St., Gan-
anoque, Ont., says :-'"Mi-o-na is
worth its weight in gold fur quickly
and permanently curing dyspepsia, I
became so bad that I was unable to
leave'. my bed. There was a constant
burning in my stomach, I would belch
up gas every few minutes and could
eat but very little, as the food would
quickly ferment and make gas that
caused aserious deprIssion of the
heart. Perspiration would break out
all over my body, I would become so
weak that I could not stir and would
often fall on the floor in a helpless
state. The pains in my stomach were
terrible. I could find no position in
which to sit or lie without suffering,
and I was so nervous that the least
noise affected me. Headaches were
constant. I would become dizzy and
spots would appear before my eyes.
I bad no ambition to get around and
everything seemed to tire me. The
first box of Mi -o -iia gave me more
relief than anything I had previously
tried. The second box of Mi-o-na
cured me. I am well and strong and
I, have not had an hour's suffering
since. I will always feel grateful to
Mi-o-na for the cure given me and
glad to recommend."
In the face of such evidence it is
easy to understand why Mr. Walton
McKibben feels assured in saying to
you, money back if Mi-o-na fails to re-
lieve either trivial or serious stomach
trouble.
Average Cost.
The cost per patient daily in Bruce
County Hospital in 1003 was $1:43; in

New Spring Carpets, Rugs
and Art Squares.
Don't buy a Carpet simply because it looks good.
Some very:: poor carpets are attractive in appearance and
there is nothing to show -whether they are all -wool or
cine -third cotton. ,The best and surest way to get real
quality is to ask for
"Maple Leaf Ingrains"
then you can be sure of all -wool, fast color and wearing
quality. The new Spring patterns in all our lines are de-
cidedly the most attractive we've ever shown. ' We handle
only the reliable makes that we can absolutely guarantee.
You run no risk with any carpet you buy here.

Catarrh Cured Or Money Back.
The cause of catarrh is a germ, It
multiplies in the lining of the nose
and throat, spreads to the bronchial
tubes and finally reaches the lungs.
Cough syrup can't follow to the lungs,
it goes to the stomach, and fails to
cure. . C tarrhozone is inhaled. It
goes everywhere, gets right after the
germs, kills them, heals the soreness,
stops discharge and hacking, cures
every trace of catarrh. You're abso-
lutely certain of cure for catarrh,•
throat irritation, colds or bronchitis.,
if you ns. Catarrhozone. 25e and $1
