NOV. 8. 1904. THE ELECTION, lucre this lame of the TIMES reaches oar readers we will know who is 'fern the affeira of Cauada for the five years, There is little doubt iu mutest of many but that the Laurier inlstratiou which has so successfully anted the affairs of the country for Plat eight years will Le given another f office. This admiuietrutiou to the people with a great de - o# ooufideuce. They have no sins ooeimisiicn to auswer for. Their iaition bas been oleau, they have the wisdom and foresight to take tate of favoring circumstances to latofteote the welfare and prosperity of Mae isometry stud as a consequence Can- isa.s grown and prospered under their ;ar+oia est ax=ver before. They have shown tadinesa to remedy defects and plbpiarrxz as they were presented while measures were progressive and Tcalculated to Stimulate the indus• .atts'ias of the country. The reveuues legs/eve been more than ample to meet the sfgrowing expenditure and there has been ea% large and growing surplus annually stwhich has bowl 'taken advantage of to tlmaterially decreaee the public debt and ,email this has beau accomplished without deny general iacreaee iu the taxation. In short, seldom iu the history of Canada has a government appealed to the peo- ple with a better record to their credit than the Laurier Government and it F will be strange indeed, if they are not trsubstantially sustained at the polls. NOTES AND COMMENTS. ,_It will soon be all over but the cheer• frog. Dr. Macdonald is the man for East Huron. We would like to see East Huron give Dr. Macdonald 200 majority. Vote early and then assist iu getting every Liberal voter to the polls. r,i The threes, Hurons shoald elect sup- s porters of the Laurier Government. Over confidence is a bad thing in elections, See that every Liberal vote is polled to -day. Every vote in East Huron favorable to Dr. Macdonald and the Laurier Gov- ernment should be polled. Canada has sold abroad over $470,000 worth more products in the past !seven years than in the previous seven. t Dr. Macdonald closed his campaign with a meeting at Gorrie last night. During the two weeks and a half, the Dr. made sixteen speeches and travelled upwards of three hundred miles. Hon. A. G. Blair, who has resigned as Chairman of the Railway Commission, will pay a visit to the St. Louis Exposi- tion, and will afterwards take a trip to Europe. Mr. Blair iutends taking a 'vacation before again settling down to business. Failing inau attempt to get Mr. Blair to speak uow, Conservative papers are digging up his old speeches and repub- lishing them. Copies of the old speeches have been scattered in every section of Heron. They will likely have tittle effect on to -day's voting. We had thought at one time of hold - this -Wane of the TIMES in order to ve our readers the results of the election at in doing that it wouldthrow us over two days late, and we have de - bided to publish this week at the usual ,dine. Next week we hope to be able to ve a complete report as well as the rrect figures of the vote in East Huron. jjers What are your friends saying about you? That your gray hair makes you look old?

Many persons will be surprised doubt- less, to know that in England a person can be sent from one part of the king- dom to another by mail—just as if he was nothing more than a mere letter. One day a man called at St. Martin's le Grand with the object of consulting a directory and finding the address of a customer who lived in a remote part of Balham. He was not acquainted with the locality, and was most anxious to see his customer at once. These facts he mentioned to an obliging clerk behind the counter. He was at once informed that he could be sent to the required address by registered mail at a fee of 6 cents a mile. The man gladly accepted the offer, and in less than a minute found •himself in charge of a smart messenger boy, who very soon guided him by the shortest route to Ms destination. The boy carried in hie hand a printed blip with the description of his "mailed parcel" under the heading "Article re- quired to be delivered," and this he re- quired the man and customer to sign be- fore he loft the latter's house.—Chicago Journal. How a Fly Walks the Ceiling. Few people, probably, know what it is that enables flies to walk on the ceil- ing. It has been supposed that their ability to do so was due to the fact that each of their feet ie a miniature air pump. This theory was found to be un- sound, and it was than explained that the feat was made possible by means of a vibcoas substance which exuded from the hairs on their feet. This theory also was abandoned as being only partly accountable for the facts; and the preferred explanation is that thee are enabled to walk 'up -side dawn on smooth substances by the help of capillary adhesion. An investigator has found by a series of nice calculations —such as the weighing and measuring of hairs—that a fly would be upheld by capillary attraction were it font -ninths as heavy again as it is. Each fly is sup- posed to be furnished with from 10,000 to 12,000 minute foot hairs; these exude an oily fluid, and it Is because of tho re- pulsion between a watery surface and this oily fluid that a fly dada it difficult to mount a dampened glssL—I3Nrper's Weekly.

Beauty Don'ts, Don't eat when very tired, if yon ex- pect to get any good from your food and preserve your beauty, Don't eat more than oue hearty meal a day. This is the secret of good looks, health and long life. Luckily for the doctors, few people appreoiate it. Don't eat much meat in hot weather if you would keep your akiu free from eruptions. Don't eat hot or fresh bread if you want to be healthy and beautiful. Don't eat cold, starchy foods, like po- tato salad and cold porridge, unless you have stroug digestive organs. Don't eat ice cream too fast. Eaten slowly and allowed to melt iu the mouth it can do no harm. Don't drink iced water. Cool water quenches thirst much better then ice - coli fluid. Don't drink mach water at meals, but take a glassful the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. Don't drink too much coffee on ice unless you want a complexion like leather is color and texture. Don't eat potatoes, peas, marcaroni, cream, olive oil, pastry and bonbons if you want to lose flesh. Don't go to bed hungry. A glass of milk or a cap of chocolate will refresh you. Don't think you can eat too much spinach, lettuce, watercress, dandelion and carrots. They are complexion beautifiers. The Canadian Westinghouse Company of Hamiltou have closed a contract with the Grand Trunk Pacific company to equip their rolling stock with air brakes. The amount of the contract is about $700,000. The act imposing $500 upon every Chinaman entering Canada has had a prohibitive effect. Since January no Celestials have come to this country, with the exception of two who escaped from steamships. Live Stook Markets. Toronto, Nov. 1—There was a good run at the city cattle market to day, but trade was slow. The demand for good botcher cattle is very steady, and there is not enough of the right kind coming along. There seems to be no end to the supply of rough cattle, and they continue to be quite a drag on the market. The total sum was 120 cars, with 1,900 head of cattle, 2,626 sheep and lambs, 1,000 hogs and 64 calves. There was some difficulty in the railway de- livery today, and a good many loads of cattle were not delivered in the market until about the middle of the day, and too late to be put on the market with ad- vantage. Export—The export trade is fair, but prices are not running very high at the present time. There were one or two good loads and prices were quoted at $4.60 to $4.65 the top. Butchers—The market is steady for good cattle, bat easy for the common and rough stock. Still too many of the latter offering, and not enough of the former. Picked cattle are fetching as high as $4 40 to 44 50. but loads of mixed will not average more than $3.65. Feeders—The run of feeders seems to be drawing to a close for the season, though there is still a good market for a few loads of choice stock. Prices are steady at $3.50 to $3.60 for the best steers. Stookers—Market about steady ,for good quality. Sheep and lambs—Trade slow and prices easy except for lambs,` which are about steady. Milkers—A good demand for milk cows at from $30 to $60 each. Hogs—The market is weak, and pros- pects are low. Quotations are $4.90 for selects and $4 65 for lights and fats. The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle— Per 100 lbs. heavy $4 50 $4 65 Light 4 25 4 50 Balls 3 50 3 75 do., light 2 25 2 75 Feeders light,800 pounds and up- wards 3 3 50 80 Stockers 2 75 3 00 900 lbs 2 75 3 50 Butchers'— Choice 3 60 4 00 Medium 3 50 3 75 Picked 4 25 4 40 Bulls 1 75 2 50 Rough 200 2 50 Light stock bulls .. 2 50 3 00 Milk cows 30 00 50 00 Hogs— Best 4 57 Lights 4 75 Sheep— Export 3 40 5 50 Bucks.....r 2 50 2 75 Culls 200 3 00 Spring Lambs 400 4 50 Calves. each - ... 2 00 10 00 WINf18AM MARKET REPORTS Wingham, Nov. 2nd, 1904 Floor per 1001bs......,,.. 2 50 to 400 Fall Wheat 1 ............. 1 00 to 1 03 Spring Wheat 0 00 to 0 00 Oats, 0 30 to 0 82 Barley ......... 0 38 to 0 42 Peas 0 55 to • 60 Turkeys, awn,.....
