ELLIOTT, PU»LISHMR AND PROPRIETOR THURSDAY, FEB. 18, 190.4. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Senator David Warks of Frederictou, N. B. celebrated his 100th birthday on Friday last. He is the oldest Legislat- or in the world. The receipts of the Grand Trunk Rail- way were $255,443,1ess in one week in January than iu the corresponding week of last year, and the expenses were doubtless double these of last year. Thar indicates what a bars' winter meaus ti the railways. Is it any wuutler Toronto is so strong ]y Conservative? A Conservative As- sooiatiou finds a property and has a hal: dozen names put ou the voter„' list having th.e right to vote on that property. These voters are not consulted and knov nothing of their right to vote. VG'll put thein on the list? Who personated them in the elections? Thee are quer tions for which answers must be Rim d - Toronto Globe. One thing that the Liberal party oer tainly has to boats is a nimble -remade chief.

It is often true that aft., amen is married be will work haven and take better care of his money• f. • he will find he will have to where then are two or more to provirle for. It is a'' right to get married when you are prof erly situated, but as a purely financial proposition it is a failure. -Ex. Mr. Tarte's Place in Politics. Writing of Mr. Tarte's success in crowding out Mr. Monk from the lead ership of the Quebec Tory party, the Toronto News, which seems to be pcste' in regard to the checkered career of the former Minister of Public Works, says: - Mr. Tarte does not find life wort living unless he is periaritted to occupy the front of the stage and direct the per- formance. He has a policy for every day, a speech for every hour, a task for every miunte. Ardent, impetuous, enthusiastic and courageous, he domin ates by his very activity, and seems to be carrying on great projects las statecraft, when, as a matter of fact, hr may be only taking the mental and phys• ical exercise which keeps him in good working condition. Because he talker' a great deal, and lived much on Pullman's, dredges and steamboats, many thousands of credu- lous people honestly believed that Mr Tarte was the master of the Liberal Ad- ministration. They seemed to think that if he should go out the country would go to ruin. Bnt he went out, and not a cos. of the machinery was dis- placed, a single immigr int turned back to the border, or one public account dis- honored. The trnth is, the other Minis- ters were doing the work, while he was doing the puffing and discharging the steam. Pains in the Back for Twenty Years Weald net turn ever 1a bed-Ridneya and bladder affected -experienced great suffering. Old people learn to trust in Dr. Chase's KidneyLiver Pills, for when all other treat- ments fail this great medicine seems to go directly to the diseased part, and promptly affords relief and cure. MB.. DAVID 1111SEinn, farmer, Port Robin - eon, Welland County, Ontario, writes: --"i wish to state to you that I hal a pain in my 'back and left side for over twenty years. At titles I could not turn over in bed, I was so badly used up. Ie had cramps in my feet and legs, and my hands were so entirely useless that I could scarcely lift anything. GOOD RESULTS. Are Sure to Follow the Else Dr. Williams'' Pink rues --They Nevar Irani when Used for Blood and Nerve Troubles. The reputation h •1,1 by Dr. Williams' Pink Pille not Artily iu Canada but throughont the whole world is one that cannot be equaled by any other medicine, No other medicine iu the world is so ex- teusively used as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, aud their extensive use is due solely to the merit of the medicine These pills are not a common purging mediciue; they are a scientific blood builder and nerve restorer. Every dose helps create, u1+w, rich, red blood, and this new blood reaches the root of the disease and drives it from the system. That is the whole secret of the success of this re- markable faetliciue. Thousands and thousands testify to the value of these [nils, among them being Mrs. Robert (:Tibbs, Petit Lauieque, N. B who =ays:-"I wish to thank yon for the good results obtained from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I suffered grout kidney trouble and the pains iu rhe back were sometimes hard to bear I used iu all six boxes of the pills and the trouble has entirely disappeared. I ,vou1.1 strongly advise other sufferers to use yonr pills without delay," Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure all blood •nd nerve troubles such as rhea matism, •euralgi t, arillenlia, partial paralysis, indigestion, palpitatinu of the heart and nany others. Sold by all medicine deal• rs or direct from The Dr. Williams' vfo(lioiue Co., Brockville, Ont. as 500 a o or six boxes for $2.50. "Kidney disease was, no doubt, the cause elan my suffering, and sometimes the urinary bauble would be so bed that 1 would have to get npr fire or tax times during the night. For- tunately, I begat using Dir. Chase's Kidney - I iter Pills, and they cured me completely. I aril ee years old, and quite well now, but still occasionally use these pills to keepmy systems in good order.

As the season for hog packing by the many packers in the Western States tevances it is more and more apparent That the packers are unable to keep down -he price of live hogs. They had well -onsidered and concerted plans for buy- ing aying the hulk of their live hogs at or below $4.25 per cwt ; the price last week mar -Malty climbed up to $5 25 in spite of all their efforts to hammer the market. The United States agricultural papers are now reluctantly admitting that the soft. corn is responsible for the many underweight hogs that are now crowd - me their markets; the feeders also fear that the soft corn, not having been pro- ierly matured, may cause an epidemic of hog cholera iu the early spring, there- fore, many feeder§ are hurrying their ' hogs to the packers. The demand from 1 the American public for fresh pork pro- ducts is enormous it volume, conse- gnently the large packers have not been able to largely increase their reserve stocks. The value of the hog appeals to the farmers in all parts of Ontario. The prices paid of late years have been re- munerative, bringing every farmer in the province into the business. The ! United States have in past years been 1 the chief contributor to the British i markets, with bacon and hams. During Ithe past year the Canadian packers gained largely npou their astute competi- I tors, This year there is every probabil- I ity that the gain by Canada will be more t pronounced. The quality of the Cana- ! (Tian hog is still improving for export purposes, while this season the Western i hog is deterioating. There is no reason 1 why Ontario farmers should be in a :hurry to sell their hogs atpresont prices. ' Onr market will he forced upward iti I eompetion with advancing prices to the ' south of us. The hogs that are prime 'should be sold to the dealer, but none should be forced upon the market. It 1 will pay to hold them. -Toronto World. The Mail and Empire's War News.

The Danger of Overeating. Half the people have violent attacks of indigestion, because they will persist in eating hearty meals when in an ex- hausted condition, They seetu never willing or able to realize that there are times wbeu the system is in no fit state to grapple with a full meal. They come in tired and huugry, almost ravenous, not thinkicg that maybe a good deal of what they consider hunger is gastric ir- ritation, then sit down to a table cov- ered with the sabstantials of life, and deliberately go to work and overtax the already overstr.siuo•1 viral powers. No person should ever eat hearty when very tired. The wisest thing to dois to drink a cap of hot water with three spoonfuls of milk in it, sit dowu for five minutes, and then begin slowly to eat, masticat- ing thoroughly. in a little while the vigor of the stomach will conte back, and all will be well. If this course were followed there would not be oue case of dyspepsia where now there are a dozen. It seems to be the most difficult of all things to properly control the appetite - It seems to he the master. It requires will power to get it under control. When once mastered, something important has been accomplished iu self-discipline. One In Four Persons Ono persou in every four suffers more or less from itching piles. Some do not kuow the nature of their ailment, and others have not heard of Dr. Chase's Ointment as the only absolute and guar. auteed cure for this distressing disease. If you are a sufferer ask yonr neikitbors about this greet preparation. It has grown popular as a result of the news of its merit being passed from friend to friend. The West Wawanosh Mutual. The annual meeting of the West Wa- wauosh Mutual Fire Iusurauce Company was held in the Agricultural Hall, Dun- gannon, Wednesday, January 20th. Owing to the inclemency of the weather and the almost impassible condition of the roads, there are many that could not attend, notwithstanding there was a large representative meeting from the near by and surrounding locality. The meeting being called to order, Mr. William Bailie was elected chair- man. The notice calling the meeting which had been duly published was read. rhe minutes of the last auuual meeting were read and approved. The directors annual reports aud the auditors financial reports were laid be- fore the meeting and read by the Secy., ell of which were adopted. It was evi- denced by the reports that the member- ship of the company, was on the increase. The number of policies in force on 31st Dec., 1903, was 3287. Risks in force, $4,422,073. Residue of premium notes, 5157,450.60. Assessable face of all pre- mium notes, $176,882.92. The losses of the past year have been heavier than usual, amounting in all to $14,326.00, all of which were satisfactorily adjnsted and promptly paid Liabilities $1400. Assets over liabilities, $167,424.99. Mr. Wm: P. Reid, of Ashfield, was elected as director for one year to fill the vacan- cy at the board formerly occupied by Mr. Stothers. The three retiring direc- tors, Mr. John Ballantyne, Alex. Stew- art and Edward Acheson, whose terra of office had expired, were attain reelected by acclamatior'. At a subsequent meet- ing of the Board of Directors, Mr. Ball- antyne was elected president, and Mr. Finlay Anderson, vice-president. News Teo Good to Keep. Persons who have used Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills are usually so well pleased with the benefits derived that they tell the good news to their neigh- bors. There is no medicise which so promptly awakens the action of the liver, invigorates the kidneys and,regu- lates the bowels as•Dr. Chase's Kidney - Liver Pills, and for this reason they are unapproached as a family medicine.

What the Societies Aim at and Some Instances Showing Their Need, The Toronto News iu a recent editorial commended the work of the Children's Aid Society of that city, which had dealt with forty-eight cases in that city during December aloue, and speaking generally of the scope and objects of the Children's Aid Societies, said: "It is impossible to estimate the good that is accomplished by this society. The officers are iu reality State -appoint- ed guardians to all the little ones whose parents neglect them, aud whose ex- ample would lead them into vicious courses. It is not only an instrument for the rescue of the ohildreu from con- ditions that breed criminals that they may become useful citizens, but it is au active agency for the protection of so- ciety. The methods adopted in reclaim• Mg the childred of incompetent parents is the best that has been devised. The foster home where the child is treated as the sou or daughter of the family, takes the place of the institution where the children are broneht up by rule, and special treatment is impossible. Per- sonal atfectiou and individual care are the strongest cords in a child's life. These are supplied in the fos,er houses. Under such couditions the unfortunate waif may never learn what it escaped, and has opportunity to develope natural- ly as a healthy chili iu good euvirou- ment. The purpose of the society im to persuade the parents, where it is possible, to look after their offspring, aud, in cases where that cannot ba done, to take them away to better surroundings, The so oiety deserves the support of the citizens fur what it has done, and because of what it is capable of doing." These remarks apply so well to the Society in this county, says the Goder- icb Star, that we reproduce them, and supplement with some instances showing the need of such orgallizetious even out- side the cities. Uufortuuately the aver- age citizen in rural manicipali ies aud smaller towns and villages, is too apt to think that tuere is little or no work of that kind to be done within their bor- ders. But here are four sample cases in Huron: A family of four children, the eldest but thirteen years, with parents both living. but of whom the most charitable thing that can be said is that neither mentally nor morally are they capable of properly caring for the unfortunate little ones, whose only possible future would be one of crime and degradation. A second case is that of two boys with la drunken, worthless father, the mother being dead, and, as stated by one of the municipal authorities, "the boys live in au old shack, and go round amongst the neighbors to get something to eat and warm themselves." A third case has four Children, both parents living, but neither of them fit for their charge mentally or otherwise. The head of the municipality, in auswer to queries from the President of the Children's Aid. says: '•I believe they are in very hard circumstances, one of their neighbors told me a few days ago they are almost starving," etc. From what is known of this family the only hope for the children is to take them away and place them in decent homes for education and proper training. A fourth case reports two children, where the mother is dead and the father and alleged step mother are treating the children very harshly. A fifth case is in course of enquiry,but is there not sufficient to Justify active organized work, and to entitle the Society to the symathy and co-operation of the people of Huron generally? • Printers' Mistakes. "The printer who makes the most errors is the one called the 'blacksmith, or 'machine' printer," a publisher said. "This fellow has too mach self-cont- dence. If he can't make oat the word 'cosmic' he puts 'comic' instead, and lets it go at that. He will set up 'plant' for 'planet,' (bottle, for 'battle,' 'marred els dier' for 'scarred soldier,' and as en. It was a machine printer who made, tiYo cross no crown,' read 'No mem, r,o cream." A number c f famous misprintfs were then quoted. Among them was the phrase from Proctor's "Spectroscopic Analysis," which should, have read "Lines, bands and stria in the violet part of Spectra," but which did read: "LfahL'r, bonds and stripes for violet kinds of spectres," Another was the traet title which should have been "Drunkenness is Folly," but which was "Drunkenness is Jolly." A third was the newspaper paragraph (it appeared at the height of a quarrel between England and Ireland), which said that Sir Robert Feel and a few guests were shooting peasants in Ire- land. Finally there was quoted a good specimen of the nonsense which mis- placed commas create. The specimen was this: "He entered on his head, his helmet on his feet, his sandals on his brow, a cloud in his right hand, his sword in his eye, an angry glare. He sat." pEi To prove to you, that I)r.

Toronto, Feb. 17. -The eight Do- minion bye -elections held yesterday resulted very much as had been an- ticipated, save in the case of St. John, where a Conservative replaces Hon. 311.. Blair, who resigned to take the Chaitenanship of the Itailway Commission. '1 he change in the 'vote since 1900' is very large. Mr. Blair obtaining a )najerity of 997 over lion. (leo. E. Foster. The .Glo'be's St. ,Toga correspondent says there was apathy in the Liberal ranks, and defection, or at least coldness, on the part of the Liberal press. In the four Quebec contests Lib - orals won by excellent majorities. Sir Wilfrid is still irresistible in his na- tive Province. Tho result there is a distinct setback to the adequate pro- tection campaign and Mr. Profon- taiuc is of opinion that it marks the end of Mr. Torte's short-lived leadership of the Quebec Conserva- tives. In East Bruce end East Larnbton Conservatives were elected by in- creased majorities to succeed the former Conservative members. The cry that Mr. Jenkins wanted to re- duce the crude oil duties quite evi- dently influenced the result in East Lambton. Quern's West.. Prince Edward Is- land, is still strongly I:ih'cral, and affords little comfort to the believers in a Conservative reaction. I3r.st Lamb; en Conservntive. Petrolea, Feb. 17. -While the re- turns aro far from complete, yet suf- ficient is known to indicate that Mr. J. E. Armstrong, the Conservative candidate in East Lambton, has been elected by double the majority received by Mr. Oliver Simmons, the late deceased member. Though Mr. Jenkins, the Liberal candidate, was considered by his friends to be a winning candidate he was handl- capped by reason of a local dispute over the crude oil tariff. it is thought that when full returns aro in Mr. Armstrong's majority will be in the vicinity of 500, as against 221 for Mr. Simmons in 1000. Result ti, Breen. Walkerton, Feb. 17. -The bye -elec- tion for East Bruce, held yesterday. was something of a surprise.. J ud - ing from the closeness a,t the general election, when Mr. Cargill, the late member, was returned by a majority, of 43, it was expected that Mr. Robb, the Liberal candidate, would be able to overcome this and placer the riding in the Reform ranks, al- though it was never seriously ex- pected that his majority would be a large one. Several places have yet to be heard from, but so far as known the Conservative candidate has a majority approximating 200. Various causes might be given for Mr. Ilobb's defeat. but the presence in the riding during the Jast couple of weeks of a whole army of plat- form speakers and others had its ef- fect on those whose political affili- ations nuliations are not very pronounced. Vintn Viet: 11 Quebec. Montreal, Feb. 17. -Yesterday was a bitterly cold day for Mr. Tartu and the Conservative party in the Pro- vince of Quebec. Tire thermometer registered several degrees below zero, a nipping gale blew steadiiy from the northwest, and, to make the day al- together disagreeable, the four "pro- tectionist" candidates went down to defeat. The blots in St. James' div- ision ivisiotl of Montreal and in Iloc•helaga is particularly telling, for there the Conservative organizers and stompers waged the inost strenuous battle known in recent years.
