ELLIOTT, PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOR THURSDAY, JAN. 21, 1904. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Mr. A. E. Ames has tendered his resignation of the chairmanship of the commission appointed by the Ontario Government to build and operate the Temiskamrng and Northern Ontario Railway. The gold production of Anstralia 1903 was approximately $90,000,000, as com- pared with $81,000,00C for 1902, which was the best previous high record. West Australia provided nearly one-half of the total amount, while every state, with the exception of Tasmania shows an in- crease for the year. North Oxford Conservatives nomin- ated Mr. Robt. E. Butler 'of Woodstock for the vacant seat in the Legislature, and Mr. D. R. Ross, prohibitionist, an- Itonnced his resignation. This will leave a straight fight between Lieut. - Col. Munro, Liberal and R. E. Butler, . -conservative, The election takes place on Tuesday next. The announcement that Dr. James Mills, president of the Ontario Agri- cultural College, had beeu appointed to the Dominion Government's Railway Commission, came as a thunderbolt to the officers at the Ontario Agricultural Department, Geo C. Creelman, 0, C. James and Prof. G. E. Day are men- tained as successors to Dr. Mills as presi- dent of the College. 1 THIS DANGEROUS EPIDEMIC HAS MADE ANOTHER APPEARANCE. 101.1.00.0140 A Su,ggestlon as to How to Guard Against the trouble a.ud lie Pernicious After 'Effects, Every winter influenza, or as it is more generally knowu, the grip wakes its appearance lu. Canada. Every few years, it spreads and assumes alarming proportions, From all appearances this is one of the years in which it will seize upon a number of victims, for every day new cases are reported. As to scarlet and typhoid fever, the after effects of grip are often worse than the disease itself. The sufierer is left with a debilitated system, short of breath upon the slight- est exertion, subject to headache and heart palpitation, affected by every Orange to the weather, -and in a physical condition to invite the attack of more serious diseases, such as pneumonia and consumption. A timely suggestion as to how to enable the system so resist the inroads of the grip and its after effects, is given by Mrs. Emma Doucett, St. Ealulie, Que., who says: -"I had an attabk of the grip which left me a sufferer from headache, pains in the stomach and general weak- uess. I used several medicines but sound nothing to help me until I began to take Dr, Williams Pink Pills. When I began to take these pills I was very much run down and very weak, but they soon began to help rue, and after using them a few weeks I was not only as wen as ever but had gained in flesh as well. I can hardly tell how pleased I am with Dr. Williams Pink Pills for I was very hopeless when I began their use." These pills care by making new, rich red blood,.thns strengthening every part of the body and enabling it to throw off disease, You can always avoid imita- tions by seeing that the full name "Dr. Williams Pink Pilis for Pale People" is printed on the wrapper around every box. Sold by all medicine dealers at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writting to The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The total earnings of the Intercolonial Railway for the six months ending December 31 amounted to $3,388,219, au inorease of $105,294 over the same per- iod of the previous year. During the six months 1,;e67,291 passengers were carri 35eing a gain of 48,498. The re - from passenger traffic amounted to $1,168,788, as compared with $1,086,- G91 for the second half of the previous calendar year. While the amount of freight carried shows a falling off of 81,895 tons, the earnings from freight exhibit a gain of $19,196. It is believed that the Federal Parlia- ment will be summoned to meet on March 10. The Government has been engaged for some days in considering certain modifications which have been asked by the Grand Trunk Railway Company to the contract entered into last session. The Government is of the opinion that such modifications must be submitted to and discussed by Parlia- ment.

Mr. Emmerson has beea sworn in as Minister of Railways in the Laurier Cabinet, and Hon. Mr. Brodeur, former- ly Speaker of the House of Commons is now Minister of Inland Revenue. Mr. M. A. Belcourt, of Ottawa will likely be appointed Speaker to fill out the balance of Hon. Mr. Brodeur's term. Dr. Mac- donald, ILP. for East Huron will con- tinue to be Deputy Speaker for the bal- ance of this term. It is not the custom to appoint the Deputy Speaker to Speaker of the House during the life of a Parlia- ment. Last Parliament Mr. Brodeur was Deputy Speaker and he was not ap- pointed Speaker when the vacancy occurred. ISLxTH.
