Gravel Roads
i" With gravel roads there is a pro-
ttouueed tendeucy to rut, and when ruts
begirt to appear on the surface, great
Dare should be used in selooting new
rsra,terials with which they should bo
immediately filled Every hole or rut
in the road way if not tramped full of
some good material like that of which
the road is coustruoted,wiil become filled
with water and will be made deeper and
wider by each passing vehicle. A hole
that could have been filled with a shovel-
ful of material will so.1n need a cartful.
Tie rut or hole to be repaired should be
cleared of dust, mud or water, and just
sufficient good fresh gravel placed iu it
to be even with the surrounding surface
after having been thoroughly consoli-
dated with a pounder. One of the best
ways to prevent the formation of rats
and to keep roads in repair is by the use
of wide tires on all wagons carrying
heavy burdens. In most foreign count-
ries they not only use from 4 to 6 inch
tires on market wagons, but on many of
the four-wheel freight wagons. In ad-
dition to wide tires, the rear axles are
made 13 inches longer than the front
ones, so that the hind wheels will not
track- and form ruts. Water and narrow
ties aid one another in destroying the
roads, while ou the other hand wide
tires are road -makers. They roll and
harden the surface, and every loaded
wagon becomes, in effect a land roller,
The difference between the action of
a narrow tire and a wide one is
about the same as the difference between
the difference between a crowbar and a
tamper; the one tears up and the other
packs down. By using wide tires on
heavy wagons the cost of keeping roads
in repair would be greatly reduced." -

STRONG 'PRAISE
Front One who Has Provers the Value of
Dr. Williams' fink Fills
"Wo have used Dr. Williams' Piuk
Pills in our house for the past eight
years for various troubles, and have al-
ways foetid them successful." Thus
writes Mrs.H.Heveuor, of West Graven -
burst, Ont., and she adds: -"At the age
of eight pears, my little boy was, attack-
ed with la grippe, and the trouble devel-
oped into St. Vitus Dance, from which
he suffered in a severe form. He was
under several doctors at different times.
but none of them helped him. Then I
decided to try Dr Williams' Pink Pills,
and they restored him to perfect health,
and there leas not since been any return
of the trouble. More recently I have
used the pills myself for muscular
rheumatism, and they were equally suc-
cessful iu effecting a cure, The pills
have saved ns many a dollar in doctors'
bilis, and I would 1iae every one who is
sick to try them."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills euro all
troubles due to poor or watery blood,
or weak nerves, aria that is the elaason
why they are the most popular medicine
iu the world, and have a much larger
sale than any other remedy. They cure
such troubles as rheumatism, sciatica,
partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, anae-
mia, indigestion, neuralgia, heart troub-
les, and the ailments common to women,
simply because they make new, rich,
red blood, strengthen the nerves and
thus drive disease from the body. You
can get the pills from any medicine
dealer, or they will be sent postpaid at
50c. per box or six hoses for $2.50, by
addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville. Ont. See that the fall
name " Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills for
Pale People," is printed on the wrapper
around every box.
The Swearing Habit.
Mr. N. Brisbin of Stratford, contri-
butes the following very timely letter to
the Christian Guardiau, every word of
which we can corroborate and endorse :-
"Dear Sir -I altogether agree with
Mr. Ball's statement in reference to the
increase of profauity. It is high time
some vigorous movement was set ou
foot against it. In and around hotels
are not the only places where senseless
and wicked swearing is heard. It is
true that it is a perpetual. thing there.
Bat on the market, at the railway sta-
tions, on the trains, in the bus, at every
turn, one is forced to listen to the rank-
est kind of swearing. The use of pro-
fanity is not confined to the hardened
old tough, or the flippant young man,
but to boys, not long in their teens. The
cigarette unisance is bad enough, certain-
ly, but child -swearing is infinitely worse.
"The use of profane language is so
general that few people notice it. In-
deed, I ani inclined to think that the
practice is growing in favor. It is well
known that of late years a certain class
of young women indulge quite freely in
swear words. I suppose they imagine
that it savors of courage. Besides, it
is mannish. Shame on the girls and
women vi ho swear. Tho conduct of
men, young and old, who blaspheme the
name of God, m the presence of women
and children, is an outrage upon com-
mon decency. The practice is indefen-
sible and inexcusable anywhere, and yet
I have heard, more than a hundred times,
awful oaths from sober men, at public
dining -room tables. One might easily
imagine that such men feel assured of a
license to ignore all rules of decency-
s'aock every moral seusibility, and vi-
olate as well the law of God -'Thou
shalt not take the name of the Lord thy
God it vain.' In view of the present
condition of society, and its indifferent
attitude towards this growing evil, it
seems to me that our temperance soc-
ieties, Epworth leagues, and Sabbath
sehools ought to joiu in strong, general
auti•profauity worle among oar children
and young people. The present affords
a great opportunity for the press and
pulpits of our land to ring out in no un-
certain sounds against this great national
evil."
A Presbyterian Summer School

LOAN COMPANY METHODS.
Th:, oth .rl day in the Ontario Les'-
islltu'e, some of the loan companies
and their' manner of doing basineas
were subjected to "severe ciiticisu.,
The Toronto Glebe hi referring to the
matter, says in part: The methods
and practices of the companies accept-
ing small savings as deposits on. stock
w. re s;emewlia - severely criticised, and
tite..r:r was; a :strong, feeling in the
Meese that the public should be better

sto::kholders of small depositors is
comparatively slew, and. one of its re.
sults hes b_en tel tie up -many of them
by b:trgainsi evlldoh have resulted in
the. forfeiture( of their .contribution„
They do not draw any distinction b

Mr. Downey, wh.d complained that it

forfeiture. of all payments by people
who for various reasons might bscame
unable to continue paying for the full

inspector for a copy of this agreement
it was found. that a new one, had been
filed, r. giving depositors or purchasers
of stock the right to withdraw at any
time before the close of the five-year
period, the only penalty being the for-

ot the prieenetits made. The new
agreement will be welcomed by those
who have fallen lechind in their', pay-
m:•nte, and have regarded their money
as forfeited. There is an urgent need
of better safeguard.; against the for-
feiture of small deposits that take the
form of payments on stook.
Another matter' ventilated was the
need of supe.rvisionl in regard to un-
claimed. balances.. The Dominion Gov-

Poverty may keep a boy down for a

Truthful Advertising.
From Hardware and Metal.
In these days of keen competition no
advertiser can afford to conceal true
facts, either about his business methods
0; his merchandise. Everything must
he open and aboveboard.
The most successful policy which can
be adopted in writing an advertisement
is to so word it as to win the confidence
and respect of the reader. If you can
make such an impression on the reader's
mind that she will believe that you are
sincere iu what you say -that you really
believe in yourself -that you aro laying
the case before her in a plain, business-
like manner, without any exaggerations
or attempts to mislead, you are pretty
surd to get that person's trade.
If you believe what you are saying,
you are more apt to express yourself in
a convincing manner than if you aro
simply trying to praise up some
value that does not exist, There is only
one sure way in which you can gain the
confidence of the publio, and that is to
invariably stick strictly to the tenth.
Advertising that flatters your goods is
most undesirable advertising.
It is best to use n few plain simple
words, easily understood, than to revel
in many high-sounding adjectives,which
in themselves would imply that you are
trying to exaggerate. Be modest and
gentle in your expressions. Don't try to
clam- the earth either for yourself or for
your goods.
is ever make a promise that yon cannot
fulfil. Always fulfil every promise yon
make. You may for a moment attract
attention by a particular advertisement,
but if the promises you make are not
carried out -if you misrepresent any
part of your business -it is sure to react
in the future, and the loss in the long
run will be much greater than the tem-
porary gain which you make.
When a retailer's announcement is
read it is perhaps for the moment believ-
ed by the reader, but if she afterwards
comes to the store and fiucls that what
you have said is not true, she will not
only believe that you have told a false-
hood in this case, but will most likely be
suspicious of the truth of future state-
ments. If, however, she finds the full
truth has been told, she not only has
faith iu that one particular statement
but you have clinched your argument
and won a customer for many days to
come.
It is a good idea to be conservative in
your published announcement of a sale,
bargain, or special offer of any kind;
leaving somethiug of the true valve to
be discovered on a visit to the store.
Tell a part of the "good news" -suffici-
ent to gain interest, -and it will prove
doubly interesting to the would-be cus-
tomer should she come to the store and
find you had underestimated the true
value of the offer you make.
Be particular that you emphasize the
proper thing. There are some goods in
which the price is the proper thing to
make prominout; everything is of minor
importance. Other goods there are in
which price does not cut much of a
figure; the quality should be emphasized.
Cheap goods sold at a popular price
should have that price brought into par-
ticular prominence, for it is usually the
case that only a very low price will in-
terest people iu a low igrade of goods.
Finer goods -goods of durability -goods
which are sold more particularly for
their known excellency than for any-
thing else -should be pushed on a quali-
ty argument. It is better to dwell upon
the desirability of the article than upon
the price, for on really standard and
first quality goods the price is pretty
generally the same everywhere.

Ottawa, June 5.-A fire which
wrought damage to the amount of
nearly $500,000, raged for two hours
in the central part of the city yes-
terday morning, and in that timer
some seventeen stores and dwellings
Were consumed. 'I'hackray & David -

Company's lithographie establish-
ment aro the two largest places
burned. This is the third time that
Tltackray & Davidson's mill has
been destroyed.
The fire started in the rear of eith-
er 'fhacicray & Davidson's mill or
the Mortimer Company's lithograph-
ic plant. The whole block soon
wont, in spite of most determined
exertions. The oil, paints and oth-
er inflammable materials made the
flames burn with extraordinary in-
tensity, and the firemen for a time
could make no headway.

Montreal, June 5. -The greatest
possible alarm has been felt here.
over the constantly increasing area
of bush fires. It was reported yester-
day that St. Agatha was in danger,
but reports received up to 9 o'clock
say all danger is passed, although a.
few of the under trestles and bridges
have suffered. The Three River dis-
trict has also suffered badly.
A despatch from Shawinigan Falls
says that, although the fire had coma
to within ono hundred feet of the
lumber piles at the siding, yet no
material damage had been wrought,
and the fire in the bush, though
large in extent, was in a cutover
area, so the. financial loss is slight.
The danger is also passed at Three
Rivers town.
The Richelieu boats were delayed

from smoke caused by the fires in the
woods.
Rumors are causing the insurance
people no small amount of loss and:
consequent uneasiness.
The destruction of property in
many cases also brings loss to whole-
sale merchants who have advanced
goods to country merchants. The
fire crippling the country merchant,
renders him unable to meet his obli-
gation with the wholesalers.
