A Calf Item.
This is the way the Walkerton
Herald and Times puts it :—A. party
from Chepstow got a calf shipped
up from Colborne, the animal arriving
at Walkerton station on Saturday,
The Chepstowite was assessed $2 40 in
freight for the calf, and this he paid
cheerfully, but he did put up a seem-
ingly righteous kick when a Walker-
ton hotel -keeper undertook to charge
him $2.50 for the keep of the calf frons
Saturday till Monday. The mandate
of the hotel -keeper, however prevailed
and Chepstow's Seemingly salted son
Shelled sorrowfully out,
The Last Act.
The last has been heard of the 'Un-
ited States battleship Maine. 1Jacort-
ed by a fleet of warships and excur-
sion steamers, the hulk was towed
out to sea and sunk in 5,600 feet of
water. With her sinks all the ma-
terial evidence as to whether the ship
was blown up by accident or design,
as she swung at anchor in Havana
harbor a dozen years ago. The Span-
ish authorities have steadfastly de-
nied any complicity in the destruc-
tion of the 'warship, and the conclu-
sions arrived at from the examina-
tion of the hulk after it was raised
from the bottom of Havana harbor
have been more or less contradictory,

—There was not a single division on
the budget debate in the Legislature ;
nor an amendment, after a week's dis-
cussion, by that wonderful Opposition
leader. The Whitney Government is
solid with the Province because the
Administration has delivered the
goods every time since assuming
office,

—Prior to the Liberal success of 1890
Sir Richard Cartwright, then in the
Commons, was known as Blue Ruin
Dick, No sooner did the Laurier
government get into power than Sir
Richard became if not a confirmed
optimist, at least a suppressed pessi-
mist. Now the Tories are back in
power Sir Richard is himself again.
Already he prophesies that within
four years Western Canada will se-
cede from Eastern Canada. Which
serves to remind us that the Liberal
in opposition is a great knocker of
his own country. During the fifteen
years that the Laurier government
was in power the Conservatives
never descended to the level of trying
to make political capital at the ex-
pense of their own country. But now
that Sir Richard Cartwright has
sounded the blue ruin note it has the
old familiar sound.—[Ottawa Citizen.

--The observant editor of the. Strat-
ford Herald has this to say--"Cana-
d,ians are awakening to the fact that
we have a statesman of first rank at
the head of the Dominion Govern-
ment, It is perhaps natural that the
public should have been slow to recog-
nize this. There has been so much
puffery of Sir Wilfrid Laurier that he
has come to be regarded by his sup-
porters as one of the world's prodigies,
and his opponents have been influenc-
ed into dreading his masterliness. But
while Sir Wilfrid is a 'very able man,
he has been checkmated and bested at
every turn in the opening session of
Parliament by the new Premier.. The
situation is deeply gratifying to Con-
servatives and should also be to all
good Canadians. We cannot have too
many men of first-class calibre in pub-
Iic Life, and should rejoice at their rise,
no matter with what party they may
be affiliated. The rigid adherence to
principle of Right Hon. Premier Bor.
den, his transparent sincerity and
honesty, coupled with first-rate abili-
ty, are winning him, admiration, that
in due course will exceed that which
has been bestowed upon Sir Wilfrid.
—We are accustomed to believethat
the rulers of the nations are instru-
mentaI in preventing wars, but ac-
cording to David Starr Jordan, there
is an "unseen empire" that exerts
more influence than any other.
"Debt," according to David Starr Jor-
dan, is better than arbitration or any
peace pact to prevent natipns from
going to war with each other, A war
must be financed quite as much as
the construction of a railroad. A
European war is not imminent now
declares Dr. Jordan, "on account of
the destruction of credit which would
entail loss to the financiers who con-
trol the affairs of the European na-
tions. The financial rulers of this
"unseen empire" work together.
Whatever loans they make, in their
hands is the peace of Europe and they
will see that Europe keeps the peace.
The emperors of finance will see to it
that no petty king or minister shall
imperil their holdings." Dr. Jordan
declares that since the battle of
Waterloo, the Rothschilds have been
the actual rulers of Europe, and that
the European nations are so deep in
debt to them, that it will be impos-
sible ever to pay them off. And yet
the cessation of wars has not been
guaranteed.

--President Taft is of the opinion
that United States law courts need
over -hauling, and he is correct. Here
are a few examples of the law's delays
across the border :—On December 26,
1903, Burney Moore in Indianapolis
was struck by a train as he was cross-
ing a railroad track, his buggy being
wrecked and himself injured, He
brought suit. The jury awarded him
$1000. Three years and four months
afterwards, in April, 1907, the Appel-
late Court reversed the verdict on the
ground that the complaint was "de-
fective." The complaint was amended
and Moore started the ease over
again. The jury this time gave hire
$].600, The Appellate Court this time
—eight years after the injury was in-
flicted --affirmed the judgment. If he
gets the money it will not make him
more than even for the costs to which
he has been,. put. But he may not get
it, for there is still an appeal from the
Court of Appeals to the Supreme
Court, A judgment for $700 in Indi-
ana against a telephone company
whose wires unlawfully strung lifted
a man off a load of hay and crippled
him for life, was set aside by the high-
er courts because the word "thereby"
was omitted from the complaint. A
Los Angeles paper says :—"The con-
gestion of the courts in Los Angeles
is web, that if a victim of an acbident
in which the defendant is clearly at
fault, recovers a judgment and the
defendant appeals, and is again de-
feated, it will take about six years
frotu the time of the acoldet t before
the plaintiff can get the money.

THE WING AM ADVANCE
Non Taxation -Of Buildings.
(Prom Weekly Sun.)
The activity of Single Tax is a sure
sign of the last stages of a land boom
such as now rages in Toronto, Would
not the remedy which Single Tax
suggestp, of freeing buildings and ins-
provernents from taxes have the effect
of unduly stimulating building and so
of hastening the inevitable collapse?
The arguments which are adduced
in favor of freeing improvements from
taxation have won some support in
the rural districts, but surely from a
misapprehension of the facts. If it
betrue that the mere value of farm
land in itself has practically disap-
peared in Ontario, it surely follows
that rural taxation is in fact a tax-
ation of improvements and that gen-
erally in the townships the effect of
the application of the proposed legis-
lation to exonerate improvements
would only be to exonerate new im-
provements.
We are told that if there are aban-
doned farms in Ontario they ought to
be taxed until forced into use. What-
ever may be the justice of the claim to
destroy property in land, the answer
to the extravagant assertion which we
quote is obvious. It would mean the
destruction of the value of the im-
provements which the pioneers and
their descendants have put on the
land during the past forty to one
hundred years. .Besides, no one holds
an abandoned or half worked farm for
an unearned increment, that is, for
speculative increase in its value. And
it may be asked, if the owner under
existing conditions cannot profitably
use such land, who could profitably
use it, when it had been so taxed as to
force it into use according to the doct-
rines of those who advocate the Single
THE MAN BEHIND THE PLOW.
They sing abont the glories of the' man
behind the gun,
And the books are full of stories of
the wonders he has done ; -
There's something sort of thrilling in
the flag that's wavin' high,
And it makes you want to holler when
the boys go marching by.
Bub when the shoutin's over and the
flghtin's done, somehow
We find we're still dependin' on the
man behind the plow.
In all the pomp and splendor of an
army on parade,
And through the awful darkness that
the smoke of battle made ;
In the halls where jewels glitter and
. where shoutin' men debate,
In the places where the rulers deal
out honours to the great,
There's not a single person who'd be
doin' business now,
Or have medals, if it wasn't for the
man behind the plow.
We're a building mighty cities and
we're gainin' lofty rights,
We're winning lots of glory and we're
settin' things to rights ;
We're showin' all creation how the
world's affairs should run ;
Future men will gaze in wonder at
the things that we have done.
And they'll overlook the feller, just
the same as we do now,
Who's the whole concerns foundation
—that's the man behind the plow.
S. E. Kiser.
BABY TERRIBLY SCALDED.
RELIEVED BY Z AM-BUK.
Doctor Agreed Zam-Buk Was
“Best Possible Treatment."
Mrs. Albert Sawyer of Midland,
Ont., says .1---W bile living in Brant-
ford last winter my little son spilled a
vessel of boiling water over his neck.
Ile was terribly scalded, and we im-
mediately called in a doctor. The
treatment did not seem to give the
child ease or heal the terrible scalds,
so after a week's trial we got some
Z=cni Buk and applied it. It gave the
child ease almost immediately, and
after a few days' use the scalds seem-
ed to be getting along finely.
"To make quite Sure that all was
right, however, we called in a second
doctor. He said everything was go.
ing along splendidly, the scalds were
healing and the little one would soon
be quite recovered. Then we told him
Zam-Buk was what we were using,
and he said we could use nothing bet.
ter. Zam-Buk worked a complete
cure."
Mrs. S. Smith and Mrs. J. H. Teakle
of 73 Brock St., Brantford, who knew
of the above accident, and what fol-
lowed, write—"We certify that these
facts are true in every detail."
Mothers should know that for
burns, cuts, soalds, bruises, eczema,
piles, and skin diseases, there is no-
thing to equal Zr,tn-Buk, That was
the opinion of the doctor connected
with the above case, and is the opinion
of hundreds of other doctors the
world over. Zam-Buk is obtainable
from all druggists and stores 50c box,

which every enterprise and labor

prompts the prosecution. It is indeed
at borne that every man roust be

THINK THIS OVER.
This Offer Should Gain. The Con.
fldence Of The Most Skeptical.
We pay for all the medicine used
during the trial, if our remedy fails.
to completely relieve you of constipa-
tion, We take all the risk. You are
not obligated to us in any way what-
ever, if you accept our offer. That's
a mighty broad statement, but we
mean every word of it. Could any-
thing be more fair for you ?
A most scientific, common-sense
treatment is Rexall Orderlies, which
are eaten like candy. Their active
principle is a recent scientific discovery
that is odorless, colorless, and taste -
leas very pronounced, gentle, plea
sant in action, and particularly agree-
able in every way. This ingredient
does not cause diarrhoea, nausea,
flatulence, griping, or other incon.
venience. Rexall Orderlies are pard•
cularly good for children, aged and
delicate persons.
If you suffer from chronic or habi-
tual constipation, or the associate or
dependent chronic ailments, we urge
you to try Rexall Orderlies at our
risk. Remember, you can get them
in Wingham only at our store, 12
tablets, 10 cents ; 36 tablets, 25 cents ;
80 tablets, 60 cents. Sold only at our

Four Horses Killed.
Mr, John Chambers, a farmer living
on the lith con., Minto, met with a
heavy loss on Tuesday, approximating
perhaps $1,000. He let four fine team
horses out of his stables for water and
exercise, and they raced away to the
Grand Trunk railway track in time to
meet the noon train from Southamp-
ton coming down the grade at a high
rate of speed. In vain the engineer
blew his whistle, the frantic animals
dashing madly ahead of the train, and
the driver had no alternative but to
put on full speed and kill the horses or
to slow down and perhaps ditch the
train and kill or maim the passengers,
He chose the former, killing three of
the horses outright and the other had
to be destroyed—[Elarriston Review.
Dandruff Goes
Quickest Dandruff Cure World
Has Ever Known.
If you want to get rid of dandruff in
the shortest possible time get a bot-
tle of PARISIAN SAGE to -day and
use it.
Besides banishing dandruff and
making your scalp immaculately clean
PARISIAN SAGE is guaranteed to
stop falling hair and itching scalp
and impart life and beauty to the
hair.
One of Rochester's most prominent
barbers writes.
Gentlemen—"I am a barber of fif-
teen years experience, have used
many things for hair but never found
anything equal to PARISIAN SAGE
for removing dandruff. It is also a
splendid hair dressing and quickly
stops itching >;calp. I have used it for
the last three years." T. D. Smith,
Chamber of Commerce Bldg, RocheR-
ter, June 27, 1911. PARISIAN SAGE
is sold by J. W. McKibbon and drug-
gists everywhere for 500.
Beef Pot Pie.
Out two pounds of round steak into
small pieces ; put it on to stew very
slowly for an hour in a quart of
water ; add a tablespoonful of but-
ter rolled in flour, and a minced onion.
Boil, peel and quarter six potatoes ;
make a crust of a pound of flour, a
third of a pound of beef suet, a pinch
of salt and enough cold water to make
a dough. Line a deep baking pan
nearly to the bottom with the crust,
then put in layers of meat and sliced
potatoes alternating with small
squares of crust. Fill the pie to the
top with the gravy in which the meat
was boiled ; cover the top with crust,
putting a small paper funnel in the
centre of the pie to allow the steam to
pass out and bake in a moderate oven
for an hour. This is an excellent cold
day dinner.
