The Bad Cold of To -pay
MAY BE PNEUMONIA
TO -MORROW.
The sore throat or tickling cough that, to the
careless. seems but a trivial annoyance, may
develop into Paeumonia, Bronchitis, or some
Throat or Lung trouble.
DR. WOODS
NORWAY
PINE SYRUP
contains all the lung -healing virtures of the pine
tree, and is a sure euro for Coughs. Colds and
all Throat or Lung troubles. Mrs. E. Hutchin-
son,186 Argyle Street, Toronto, writes: " I have
been a sufferer from Chronic Bronchitis for
years and have found Dr. Wood's Norway Pine
Syrup far better than any of the hundreds of
remedies 1 have used. Our whole family uves
it in cases of Coughs or Colds. W e would not
be without it."
D iu't bo humbugged into taking something
"just as good," ask for Dr. Wood's and insist
on getting it. Put up in yellow wrapper, three
Dine trees is the trade mark and price 25 cents.

the tariff with aversion. The tariff ie )1lichh )1e -
as high uow as the larger number of
Liberals want -higher than many of
then( like, and, therefore, the adoption
of a higher tarifa would disintegrate the
party. There may be some pruning to
do, some chopping oaf of dead brauches,
bat, further than that, many a sturdy
Liberal wou't go. -Eastern Chrouiole.
Don't repeat the little incident you
have just heard about your neighbor's
weakness. You have failings enough
of your own, God knows; just think
hard about them when tempted to waste
your breath on those of others. You
can tell the size of a man or woman by
their anxiety to talk about the short -
1 vumiogs of others. If we could only
' pass over the most of what we see and
!hese we would be much the better for
it Hatred is kept stirred up by this
i eternal gossip about onr neighbors.
•'He that covereth a transgression pro-
oureth love." The teacher in school
saw a scholar do some little thing ou the
sour of the moment that was contrary to
rules. Iustead of calling up the child
and punishing him he waited. Shortly
afterwards in passing him he laid his
hand on his shoulder and said quietly,
"John, don't do that any more." This
correction was three times as effective as
open punishment. If yon have any-
thing to say to those who transgress do
it "between him and thee." -Solomon
in Furniture and Upholstery Journal.

PULSE OF THE PRESS.
The Conservative organizer in Alberta
told the Toronto News that if they got
"the great silent vote" they would win
sweepingly. They apparently got the
silent vote, for we haven't heard any-
thing it has said, judging from the re-
sult of the elections. Even the Conser-
vative leader,:Ur. Bennett, the fire -brand,
has been snuffed out.-Peterboro Exam-
iner.
Alberta is an example of what may
happen to a party that prizes smartness
above sincerity. The Alberta campaign
was managed according to the ideals of
the eastern strategists who are in control
of the party. The result would indicate
that these Heals are played nut, and
that when a party is out of power at
least the politics of sincerity could not
be a worse pay -boss than the polities of
smartness. -Toronto Telegram.
The significauce of the sweeping vitt.
ory cannot be misunderstood. It be -1
tokens it: the etrougest and most empha-
tic way pes.ible thzt the people of
Alberta are entirely satisfied with the
excellent school system ,-stablished in
that Province. But vastly more impor-
taut from a national standpoint. It is
a crushing blow t.i racial and religious
agitatiou which threatened to di turb
the peace and retard the progress of the
new country. -Halifax Chronicle.
This mad desire to win at all hazards
is the dominant featttre iu Canadian
sports, as well as Canadian politics. and
is certainly a matter for regret. It is a
sentiment that makes us become p -or
losers. It we are defeated in politics or
if we lose is sport, some of us seem to
feel as though the bottom of the universe
haf dallen out,and that life was not worth
living. It is a foolish thing 10 take de-
feat so much to heart. Sointb;xly must
lose, and if we play the game to the best
of our ability we are doing well. In any
case defeat is no dishonor, as we
will get along just about the same, win
or lose.-Markdale Standard.
As far as we can judge by disclosures
before the tariff commission, no one out-
side of certaiu manufacturers wants a
higher tariff tor Canada. The greater
number of the people are "staneepatters"
on the tariff question. From the Con-
servative party we can discern no de-
mand for a higher tariff, and consequent-
ly, higher taxation. The Liberal press
would look upon a general inerlase of

Rockefeller, Mr. Audrew Carnegie and
Mr. J. P. Morgan, all of whom agreed in
declaring chat the opportunities in pro-
fessions, trades and all the walks of life
for the capable and ambitious entering
upon active careers were never greater
than at present.
To this view of the business world Mr,
Choate, the recently returned United
States ambassador to Great Britain, has
added his testimony. It is said that this
is the era of young men. This is probab-
ly a mere illusion. It always seems so
to meu as theygrow older and see the af-
Yairs of the world passing to a younger
generation People retain their business
efficieucy longer now than they ever did.
But there never was a time that was not
the ern of young men, and there never
was a time of greater demand for them
than :low. The supply never did, and
Least of all now meet the demand. This
fact is not owing exclusively to native
Incapacity but to the failure of young
men to qualify themselves for the places
open to them. The idea that great in-
dustrial combinations have narrowed the
field for advancement is repudiated by
the great fivauciers. The reason why
great salaries are given is that capacity
la so scarce There are big salaries and
sp!eudid careers hanging out on every
eminence for any who can reach up to
them. There never were so many open-
ings. The work these positions require
demands a constant succession of cap-
able young men,who must possess, iu ad'-
ditiou to the old-fashioned virtues, the
qualities of energy, business ability and
foresight, with technical knowledge and
decision of character. The road to sue -
cess is wide open to all such. Of course
young men have not the same abili-
ties or aptitudes, but there are few who
cannot cultivate what they possess to a
eegree that will make their her vices desir-
ab.;a by those who are constantly on the
lookout tor capable assistants. Economi-
cal and business conditions may have
changed by great concerns taking the
place ot individual employers, but com-
panies whose operations are with millions
of dollars can and do give more immedi-
ate and much larger rewards for brains
I and skill than th ' fathers of the present
generation could have hoped to obtain in
their most ambitious dreams. One tro-
able is that, with all these fine possibili-
ties, we see the energies and best powers
mea t hausting themselves where they
ought only to be recuperated and recreat-
I ed-ou the playground. They take more
interest in a championship snatch than
in the business that they serve. Another
trouble is in the spirit that too much
i governs manual labor, which snakes a
virtue of not overworking one's neigh-
bor and is often found deliberately plena -

Business has been very dull in town
during the past week. On acoout of al-
most incessant rains the roads are in a
terrible state, travelling is difficult, and
farmers are unable to get out. However
as soon as sleighing becomes good it is
expected that our merchants will do a
splendid busiuess and times will im-
prove.
Last Saturday evening an old man
named Richard Greer, hailing from
Inverhurou, put in an appearance in this
town and applied for lodgings in the
lock-up. He stated that ate was on his
way to Buffalo, and as he only had $1
about hint he couldn't afford to put up
at the Bruuswick and buy his railway
ticket besides. Chief Pettypieoe kept
him until Wednesday,whenhe was ship-
ped back to Kincardine on his way
home.
The Grand Trunk issued a new time
table on Monday. The only change as
far as Wingham is concerned is the ad•
dition of a fast mail train between Wing -
ham and London. The train leaves
Loudon in the morning at 7 55 arriving
Wingham at 10 50. Returning it
leaves hereat 3.10 p.m., reaching London
at G o'clock. The distance is thus trav-
elled at the rato of about 25 miles per
hour, whereas iC,usually took more than
double that time before by the old snail
train.
Last night the salt well had reached
a depth of 1,375' feet, and the brine
brought up was exceedingly strong. The
prospects of striking a rich vein of salt
are still good, and a letter received from
Prof. Selwyn, of Ottawa, on Tuesday,
was quite encouraging. After a careful
examination of the specimens sent him
his impressions that we have not yet
reached the Onondaga formation is con-
firmed. As it is, the drill has passed
through several beds of salt and there is
no grounds for doubting that it would
pay to work the well now. It is pro-
posed to go down to a depth of 1,400 feet
when a pump will be placed in the well
and salt making operatipns will be pro.

POINTERS FOR RUBBER BUYERS
An up.to.date shoo dealer is usually a good rubber judge -ho in
quick. to discern the comparative points of excellence that pass.
unnoticed by the ordinary man.
Many of the largest merchants have stocked exclusively
with Merchants Rubbers. They know that the high grade -.
materials used, the exclusive methods employed and general
S*+ care exercised in their manufacture mean increased wear
.�;
and pleased customers.
This fact is a good guide to the ordinary buyer.
Merchants Rubbers have the fit, style, ep.
'F^ pearance and wearing qualities that cannot be
obtained in any other brand of rubbers.

era Need More Faith.
It is much as W. A. Peckham of Lit-
tle Compton said: "The Rhode Island
farms are all right. The trouble is with
the farmers. We haven't the men who
will devote their time and best ener-
gies to agriculture, They will not
study the conditions and go into the
business on bushleeslike principles.
And right here I would like to say u
word in favor of the short farmers'
course wbieh was Inaugurated a few
years ago at the state college at Kings-
ton. I attended the twelve weeks'
farming course and never before re-
ceived so much good for the time and
money expended. The insight I got
into the why and wherefore of things)
has proved very valuable to me in my
farming operations, to say nothing
about the acquaiutauces I formed dur-!
ing my stay at the college and the fund
of inspiration I curried away.
"Last season I made a profit of $300
from one acre of potatoes and sowed
the same land to beats and harvested
$300 profit ou that, making $000 for
one acre of land. Many vegetable gar-
dener's will beat that record, but that
is trucking ant mine is farming, which
are two different propositions. I usu-
ally have fifteen acres of cabbage,
hauling the crop to a market twelve
miles distant."
Abandoned Farms.
A talk with John G. Claris, secretary
of the state board of agriculture, elicit-
ed the fact that plans are ruder way
to promote agriculture still more in the
state. Ilowever, Lack of funds is the
great drawback, and Mr. Clark is not
especially sangui1'e as to how his prop-
osition will be received. IIe wishes to
get out another catalogue of abandoned
farms. The last number issued was
in 1000, the editions of which have long
since been used. Ilis idea is to revise
the list and supply the many demands
which reach the olfree along this line.
IIe also says he has in mind a cata-
logue, or directory, of the various
breeds of live stock, plants, ete., in the
state. IIe often has galls for some-
thing of this character and believes
that it would be money well invested
in the way of advertising the state and
getting parties interested in Rhode Is-
land agriculture. Nothing definite as
to the abandoned farm catalogue, or
directory, has yet been consummated.

Local Pride.
One of the Most bopefui and signifi-
cant indications concerning the possi-
bility of any state or locality is the
local pride of its people. Without much
regard to the productivity of the soil
or the wealth of the people you are
informed of the peculiar fitness of this
or that locality as an abiding place
for man. This is more nearly true in
the west than in the cast. But eastern
people are beginning to wake up to the
fact that their lands are cheap and,
furthermore, a good investment. When
cases like this come to your attention
it makes for most hopeful considera-
tion, says a National Stockman cor-
respondent. A Ivan told me at Belle-
ville, N. Y., recently that a small farm
with 1,0110 hens had oohed for the use
of the farm and his labor last year
$1,400. It makes one feel that things
in New York are changing.
Cucumbers For Pickles.
I11tense cultivation, which means sys-
tematic cultivation, is profitable, as the
yield is from 300,000 to 400,000 per
acre. They usually bring $1.50 per
1,11(0. Tho past two years they have
brought double that. To get $600 from
an acre one must work. IIe can afford
to. A meu must go over his fields of
cueumbers early every morning, re-
gardless of the weather, of some will
get too large. But, more than that, if
they grog' too large and begin to turn
whitish or yellow the plants will think
the object of reproduction has been ac-
complished and will cease bearing. On
the other hand, if the encumbers are
kept constantly cut when small the
vines will continue to bear for a longer
period. -American Agriculturist,
Mosquito and Fly Pests.
A burro' of stagnant water anywhere
on the premises or a half open cistern
under the barn will breed swarms of
mosquitoes --Indeed, so many as to
make outdoor life on these summer
mornings and evenings anything but a.
pleasure, remarks an exchange. And a
heap of manure accumulating. in the
rear of the stables and otherwise un-
disturbed will send forth flies enough
to make things very uneomfortable in-
side the house if you let them in. They

The Leak. In Cotton Crop Reports.
As a result of Secretary Wilson's
investigation to locate the leak in the
cotton crop reports, Associate Statisti-
elan Edwin S. Holmes has been dis-
missed from service in the department
of agriculture.
GARDEN HINTS
Many Jersey farmers have given up
eggplants because they fail to get
good, healthy growth. With many the
plants begin to die as s0011 as they are
set out and keep dyhig through the
season.
Some gardeners grow en early pea
crop between tomatoes, cantaloupes,
melons, corn, ore., as much to protect
thein as for the profit in the erop itself.
Latest celery may still be set and the
entire crop handled as the plants be-
come large enough.
Professor (Green of Minnesota says
If plants are going ofn tomake talo
„good onions

they will become weak in the neck just
above the bulb when nearly grown
and will fall flat ou the ground, where
they should be 8110wed to lie until the
roots and tops are entirely dried. Them
the bulbs can be easily pulled out. __-
