—The things deemed impossible in
one century become accomplished
facts in the next, On May 30th and
31st, the Zeppelin airship made a jour-
ney in the air of eight hundred or nine
hundred miles in -thirty-eight hours.
The fuel then gave out, and in landing
it struck a tree, but after repairs and.
a fresh supply of fuel, it rose again
and made its way back to the starting
place. This demonstrates the possi-
bilities of the navigation of the upper
regions.

—Last week, the Dominion finance
department gave out the corrected
figures for the financial year 1908.9.
The revenue was $85,093,417, or al-
most exactly eleven millions under
the previous year. The consolidated
fund expenditure was $84,071,245, leav-
ing a bookkeeping surplus of $1,022,-
102. The capital expenditure was
$46,838,280, of which nearly $25,000,000
was on the national transcontinental
and $6,400,000 on the Quebec bridge.
The net debt increase was $45,909,399,
of which $31,250,000 was due to the
transcontinental project,
—Of the question of the union of
Presbyterian and Methodist churches
the Canadian Churchman (Anglican)
takes a broad view. It holds that the
differences between the two denomi-
nations are so small that union can
readily be accomplished: It is also of
the opinion that union would greatly
redound to the gain of religion every-
where. "It would furnish a greatly
needed+object lesson in sanctified com-
mon sense, in the triumph of great
eternal principles over non -essentials,
in the sinking of private references
and hobbies for the common good,
and in the realization of the wider im-
portance of great present day prob-
lems over issues that mankind has
outgrown, and which have conse-
quently lost their point and weight
and worth."
could not be sold, and it was rapidly
falling into neglect, Only a part of it
wasrented, and that for only $100 a
year, Suddenly all this was changed.
A real estate dealer purchased the
tract, at 'a good price, divided it into
three farms, and immediately sold it
again, Houses were built, fruit trees
were planted, and thrift and industry
prevailed where indolence and impro-
vidence had existed but a short time
before, The reason for all this was
that the lower Brownsville road had
been changed from a long streak of
mud to an improved highway.
—New York City's municipal expen-
diture amounts to about $150,000,000
annualljl,,'and it is generally acknow-
ledged that much of this goes by the
way of graft. A private organization
has been formed to try to arouse the
people to scrutinize more carefully the
expenditure. One method employed
is to have a "Budget Sunday," and on
that day, which this year was May
23rd, more than 200 ministers of the
Churches discussed the cit budget,
and the moral obligation of the citi-
zens, to see that the money was pro-
perly expended. Certain revelations
in Ca adian political circles, and even
in municipal matters, as seen by the
case of Montreal investigations, show
that graft is not unknown in this
country. Shall the thing ever get so
bad in Canada that a "Budget Sun-
day" will be necessary? We hope
not.
—The Toronto Telegram went to
the expense of sending a representa-
tive to Germany to prove that a union
of municipalities to secure cheap pow-
er is an ideal that has been trium-
phantly worked out in Germany. The
Telegram says :—"German examples,
cited by the Telegram commissioner
with Hydro -Electric engineers in Eur-
ope, establish the truth that the most.
extensive application of the principles
of public ownership is one secret of
Germany's industrial greatness. On-
tario's union of Hydro -Electric muni-
cipalities is denounced as socialistic.
Think of what Germany would do
with such a source of cheap electric
energy as Niagara Falls, And think
how Adam Beck has been abused like
a pickpocket for trying to build up
the greatness of his native province
on the principles which have built up
Germany."
—Many will endorse the sentiments
expressed by the Montreal Herald,
when it said :—President Taft was not
merely trying to be pleasant when, on
the site of old battles at Ticonderoga,
he expressed "the hope that never
again will a hostile gun be heard in
this valley, that never more may it, be
the scene of strife and bloody war."
He there gave voice to a sentiment
which is almost a passion with millions
of people on both sides of the boun-
dary, who are determined to maintain,
if goodwill and goodsense can main-
tain it, the reign of peace between two
free peoples. We have an occasional
firebrand who merits suppression, and
our neighbors are not without theirs,
but with the great mass of Canadians
and Americans the sentiment is ex-
actly as President Taft expresses it.
In Europe, where political divisions
are tumbled in the kaleidoscope of
time, there are always occasions of
War. In North America, if we can
keep it so, war we will not have. For
a hundred years we have so main-
tained it, and at the beginning of an.
other hundred we will take a fresh
grip,
—The civilized world seems to be
awaking to the fact that it is not ne-
cessary to allow disease to have its
own' way, and hence there seems to be
a declaration of war against disease in
many places. In Canada, a beginning
has been made in the fight against
consumption, and something has been
accom,plished. In the States also pub-
lic opinion is being aroused. In Wor-
cester county, Massachusetts, twenty-
three big manufacturing concerns
have joined efforts with the local and
State authorities in asystematic effort
to stamp out tuberculosis within that
region. The merchants in the city of
Worcester are joining them, and the
campaign bids fair to spread until it
includes every industrial, commercial,
civic, and political organization in the
county. Every employer concerned
in this campaign has guaranteed free
treatment in a State sanitarium, for
mit less than three months, to any
employee found suffering from tuber-
culosis. A few factory owners have
promised such treatment for any
length of time that may be required,
while others have -extended their care
to the families of their employees.
Simultaneously, steps have been taken
to make every factory and workshop
as wholesome a place to work in as
the circumstances will permit. Fin-
ally, meetings are held, literature
issued, and instructions given in every
possible way that may help to teach
the individual worker how to take
care of his health. "
—Good roads increase the value of
farm property, and the Advance is
pleased to see the movement gaining
ground in Canada, Property in a
town is increased hi value by a good
street, and we have no doubt that if
Wingham's main 'street was put in
good condition, according to modern
ideas, the value of the property would
be correspondingly increased. Here
is an example from the "World's
Work" of how it worked in one case
with farm property 1, ---“On. top of a
hill on the lower. Brownsville road,

running out of Jacktlon, Tenn.,Tenn.,there
was, a few years ago, a big farm which

Clinton.
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Taylor celebrat-
ed the 25th anniversary of their mar.
riage on duly 01k at their residence,
Townsend street,
On Tuesday about a dozen boys of
Clinton Y. M, 0, A. left for a ten days'
summer camp at Iron Springs, on
Lake Huron about seven miles south
of Goderich.
Mrs. Thos, McDonald, of Porters
Hill, called at the New Era office this
week, and placed to our view, toma-
toes ripe on July 11th, She also had
tomatoes ripe on the same date last
year. Pretty early for Huron,
Mr. R. Mutch, keeper of the House
of Refuge, brought a load of interest-
ed inmates to the L. O. L. celebration
here on the 12th, One of the mem-
bers is in his 94th year, Every one
enjoyed the proceedings of the day.
Dr. R. Agnew arrived home this
week from the West and his many
friends will be sorry to learn that he
and Mrs. Agnew and family are pack-
ing their furniture to move to Medi-
cine Hat, where the Dr. has rented a
dental practice.
Major Jos. Beck and Mrs. Beck, To-
ronto, who were accompanied by Miss
'A. Sturdy of Auburn, were in town
on Monday. The genial Major looked
remarkably well and had a busy day
of it greeting old friends of whom he
appears to have more than the aver-
age man. Notwithstanding that his
official duties call for almost daily as•
sociation with Premier Whitney and
the cabinet ministers, he is just the
same unassuming Joe Beck that was
known by nearly every man, woman
and child in the West Riding of
Huron.
On Thursday last, before Police
Magistrate Andrews here two local
hotelkeepers were fined for the viola-
tion of the Liquor Act. David Craw-
ford, of the Commercial Hotel, was
fined $40 and costs, $8.80, for selling
after hours on the twelfth of July.
Reuben Graham, of the Graham
House, was fined $50 and costs, $5.40,
for selling on Sunday. The convic-
tions were secured by private detec-
tives working under Provisional In-
spector Morrison, and the prosecution
was conducted by Inspector Asquith
and Crown Attorney Seager.
(From The Weekly Sun.)
So far as Ontario is concerned it is
absolutely certain that the condition
of spring crops is not better than last
year ; even with the beneficial rains
of Saturday and Sunday the outlook
is not as promising as it was a year
ago, and, if conditions are not ex-
tremely favorable from now on, the
grain yield of Ontario may be no bet-
ter than in 1907.
As regards the West, it seemp im-
possible to believe, after so late a seed-
ing, that growth has not only caught
up to but surpassed that of like date
last year. It seems vastly more pro-
bable, as Vice -President Kennedy, of
the Manitoba Grain Growers' Grain
Company, last week told The Sun,
that all of the most favorable condi-
tions will be necessary from now on
if even an average crop is to be gar-
nered on the prairies ; • and the proba-
bilities are all against everything be-
ing favorable over so long a period.
Ontario farmers will act wisely in
going on the assumption that we are
to have a light crop and in taking the
best of care of every pound of feed in
sight. More particularly should every
effort be made, by the most conscien-
tious work in cultivation, to get the
best possible yield in corn and roots.
Tenders Called For.
Tenders have been called for by the
Hydro -Electric Power,Commission for
the construction of the transformer
and interawitching station buildings
at Toronto, London, Guelph, Preston,
Berlin, Stratford, St. Marys, Wood-
stock, Paris and St. Thomas,
Killed By A Fall.
Harry Campbell, a ledgerkeeper in
Molsons Bank, Woodstock (formerly
in Toronto) was fatally hurt on Tues-
day evening, in an auto accident.
While returning with five others
from a football match, one of the
crowd said there was fire in the en -
'gine. Campbell' jumped out before
the car had stopped, alighting on his
head, and receiving concussion of the
brain. He died early next morning.
Cause Of Boils Explained.
Even in health there is a large ac-
cumulation of matter in the system,
which if not destroyed, breaks through
the skin in the form of pimples and
boils. No remedy so cleansing, so
sure to drive out boils as Dr. Hamil-
ton's Pills. They brace up the system,
rid it of humors, restore health, and
absolutely prevent swellings, pimples,
blotches and boils. Because mild and
certain, anyone can use Dr. Hamil-
ton's Pills. Sold by all dealers. •
Saving )daylight.
Some places will not wait for E. N.
Lewis' Bill to become law. Fort
William and Port Arthur have adopt-
ed the daylight saving idea for them-
selvesl, The two towns are near one•
of the' points where standard time
changes by an hour, andby local ar-
rangement have agreed to adopt the
time of the district to the west of
them from th'e 1st of May to the let of
November. Their clocks are, there-
fore, set back an hour during that
time, with the result that the people
enjoy daylight alniodt to about ten
o'clock at night. The idea is working
out capitally; the only objection
comes from the mothers, who cannot
get their children to go to bed while
the sun is still above the horizon.
Chatham.also is moving to adopt the
daylight saving idea for its own
people,
What Causes "Nerves" p
Most people say worry—they are
wrong—the cause is in the blood which
is thin, and lacks nutriment. To cure
nerves more blood, sinew and flesh are
required. You get these quickly by
taking Ferrozone. No health bringer
is so certain, no nerve strengthener
more potent, no system tonic so well
adapted to the wants of the run-down,
nervous or sleepless. Let Ferrozone
build you up, let it fill you with vim,
energy and surplus vigor. It has
done this for thousands.
