At the annual meeting of the Liberal

Bracedield on Monday it was uecided to
hold a convention in June to nominate
a candidate. Resolutions of confidence
in Str Wilfrid Leurier, of approval of
the Government's attitude, the tariff,
and endorsing the selection of Hon. Mr.
Graham as loader of the Oatario Opposi
tion, were passed,
The financial statement the of Domin-
ion for the first seven mouths of the cur-
rent fiscal year shows continued large in-
creases m the revenue as compared with
thee` previous year. For the seven
tthontbs ending January 31st the total
revenue was $50,658,693, en increase of
$6,403,875 over the corresponding period
of 1905-'06. For January last the total
revenue was $6,963,976, an increase of
$586,325 over Jannary, 1906. The total
expenditure on consolidated fund ac-
count for the past eleven months was
$33,3:47,861, a decrease of $629,700 com-
pared with the same of 1905-06. On
capital account the total expenditure for
the seven months was $8,827,662 as com-
pared with $6,754.016 for the first seven

Canadian Press Association.
The 49th annual meeting of the Can-
adian Press Aesociation held in Torouto
last Thnrsday and Friday was one of the
hest in the history -of the Association.
Many matters of interest to the publish -
eves of Canada. were &seamed. Replies
from a large number of publishers re
fire insurance rates on printing offices
were read, showing that the lowest rate
paid was 50 cents on the $100 and the
highest $2 75. The matter will be further
dealt with to see if a lower rate can be
secured. A strong protest was made
against the circular recently sent out by
the Foetal authorities in matter of chang-
ing the form of folding papers that go
through the mail. The members again
heard with pleasare Mr. Goldwin Smith,
who gave a review of his slaty years as
it journalist. A vigorous protest was
made against the Ontario Medical Coun-
cil being vested with power which enables
it to strike the name of a qualified prac-
titioner off the roll because he adver-
tises in a manner contrary to the eti-
quette or regulations of that mecical
council. The result was that a resolution
was unanimously passed recommending
the Executive Committee to lay the pro-
test of the association before the Provin-
cial authorities, not only as regarde the
Medical Council, but against all other
similar bodies which are or seek to be-
come close corporations or organizations
in any way. This subject with all its
sides was taken into consideration. The
social features of this year included a
banquet on Thnrsday evening and a
theatre party on Friday evening. On
Saturday a party of some one hundred
and fifty members of the association and
their wives visited Niagara Falls. The
trip was made over the G. T. R. and the
party had a very enjoyable day at the
Falls in visiting the different power
plants. Thia was one of the most inter-
esting outings the members have enjoy-
ed in many yeare. The Canadian Ni.
agars Power (lea:Tau, whose premises
the members had not time be inspect,the
oldest plane on this side, is now devolep-
ing five unite of ten thousand eaoh, or
50,000 horsepower in all. The Ontario
Power Compauy, whose intake far up
the river was first visited, is now devol-
wing 42,000 horsepower, some of which
Koss to Welland and otherOntario points,
and some to Syracuse, and other cities
in New York State, The Electrical De-
velopraent Company, the latest plant t0.
be commenced, is still surrounded by a
ahem of building material and there con-
tributions to disorder. The interior of
the plant has, however, been advanced
far enough to allow one unit to begin,
the bulk of the 12,500 horsepower, there-
from going to Toronto for the street cars
and electric lights. To gaze on the pon•
derous generator and listen to its, steady
hum, one wonders how there could ever
be a shortage in car accomodation or a
dim light on the whole circuit. Men are
still at work on the huge, °lassie build.
ing, which promises to be a credit to the
park when completed. For luncheon
the members of the party were guests at
the new Clifton House, one ot the best
hotels in Canada, and were treated to
the very best. Before leaving the lunch
tables, President Clark, on behalf of the
Association thanked the Grand Trunk
Railway, and especially their represent
atives, Mr. .T. I. McDonald and Mr.
Daperow, the representatives of the
pow or companies and the management
of the Cliftoa House for their kindness
in entertaining the members, It was a
day of pleasure that wiU not soon be for-
gotten. The editors completed a busy
afternoon of sight-seeing with a visit to
the splendid factory of the Natural Food
Company, in Niagara Falls, N.Y., where
some of the processes of making shredded
wheat biscuits were observed. and a
dainty supper served.

es mach crsdit fo • the proficient way
the bandsmen acquitted themselves.

core, which speaks well for the short
time they have practised. The Dialogao

very thrilling and effective. Council-
lor Kerr made an excellent chairman,
Ensign Banks at the close moved a vote
of thanks, whioh was unanimously carri-
ed. Proceeds $28.45.
How to Boom a Tewn.
An exchange very trathfully remarks:
It is little use for the local editor to
waste hie lungs and sprain his spine in
trying to boom a town when the citizens
all stand round with their hands in their
pockets and indifferently wait for some-
thing to turn up. If the capitalists or
business men do not put their shoulder
to the wheel and dose little boosting it
is useless for the editor to try and boom
things. He can write "boom" articles
till he gets bald-headed, bat if the citi-
zens themselves do not take hold and

TORTURED BY INDIGESTION
Dr. Williams Pink Fills Ctred After
Doctors Had Failed.
Mrs. T. J. Jain, 808 King street,
Quebec, wile of the circulation manager
of L'Evenement, is one of the beet
known and most estimable ladies iu the
city, and her statement that Dr. Wil -
hams' Punt Pine cured her of a very
severe attack of indigestion will bring
hope to similar sufferers. Mre. Tobin
says: "About a year ago I was seized
with indigestion which had an alarming
effect upon my health. Day by day my
strength grew less. I suffered from
terrible headaches, dizzinesss,
palpitation of the bean and sleeplossnes,
I was in this condition for about six
months, I consulted two doctor* and
although I followed their treat tit
fully it did not help nee i the letiot.
Last Ootober, seeing that • stead of re-
gaining my health 1 w growing worse,
I decided to try D . W lame' leink Pills.
After I had take • ti seoond box teere
was a change for e better, and after
taking the rails f a month longer the
trouble entirely disappeared, and I am
again enjoying the best of health. I
have so mush confidence in Dr, Wil-
liams' Pink Pills that I always keep
them occasionally as a safeguard."
Just as surely as Dr. Venial:us' Piok
Ms cured Mrs Jobiu's indigestion
they can cure all the other ailraents
which come from bad blood. Dr, Wil-
liams' Pink Pills actually make new,
red blood. That is the one thing they
do -bat they do it well. In making this
new rich blood this medicine strikes
straight at the root of such common ail-
ment as anaemia, headaches and back-
aches, general weekness, nervous dig -
ability, neuralgia, rhenmatiam and the
torturing weakening ailments that affliot
women and growing girls. You can get
these pills from any medicine dealer or
by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for
62,50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine
0o., Brockville Ont.
The three hundredth anniversary of
the founding of Quebec will be celebrat-
ed in Jaly, 1903.
That sick inmates are neglected and
unsanitary conditions prevail in some
Houses of Refuge in the Province is the
charge made by Dr. R. W. Bruce Snith
in his report to the Government.
iLive Stook Markets.
Toronto, Feby 13. -The run at the
City Cattle Market to -day was 51 loads,
synth 665 head of cattle, 458 sheep and
lambs, 650 hogs,nind 32 calves.
It was a rather small market today,
following the unusually heavy runs for
the last few markets. There was, how-
ever, a good inquiry for cattle, notwith-
standing the purchasing of last week.
Choice butcher cattle are in very active
demand, and there was a fair market for
everything offering,from choicest exports
to commonest butcher, though of the
later variety it must be said there is at
no time any scarcity. On the whole the
market was firm to -day, though prices
were not quotably higher.
