It would indeed be a marvel if a Gov- ernment dealing in $100,000,000 a year would escape without some slight wrong- ' doing on the pert of some person, but the Liberal Government of Canada is fortunate ir, this regard. Public: affairs have been ventilated in committee and have died there, nothing was to be found worthy of bringing to the atten- tion of the Hotise, and the Opposition has almost found itself without any- thing to do in the scandal way. The animal Provincial report on the operation of the Liquor License Act was issued Saturday. It points out that the licenses for the last license year were de- creased by 145 as compared with the ,previous year. .The fines for the same period increased by over $8,000. The Provincial revenue from licensee was increased by $201,696 22. The total number of licenses issued was 2,438. There were 4,216 commitments for drunkenness during the year, 1,923 of them being in Toront ' and York county. One of the prominent pledgee made by the Liberal" party was that the new tariff would be a tariff for revenue with- out placing any undue burdens upon the people. The figures for the last ten mouths show the reoeiptn from customs as $44,122,292 10, an inerease of $6,186,- 267 53 over the same period last year. The receipts for the month of April were from customs $4,463,393 97, as against $3,940,994 22 in April of laet year, a gain for the month of $527,369 75. This is only in one department of the govern- ment, and the same ratio of increase is evident ail down th e line, Under Liberal rule the country is pros- pering in every branch of trade and commerce. The revenue from publictande in Can- ada has jumped from $105,000 in Con. servative times to $1,500,000 per annum ander the Liberal administration. This important branch of the public service is the one against which the Opposition directs most of its attack, but hereto- fore such attacks have been productive of no scandal, the result of ventilating the work of the department has been to give to the electors of the country use- ful information about our western herit• age, and provoke more settlement in that direction. The Iaws relating to survey of the land, and better arrange- ment of the land act were discussed dur- ing the session, and when the House - meets again legislation in these direc- tions will be completed. While the newrpcstal treaty between Canada and the United States, imposing a postal rate of four cents per pound on second class matter addressed from points in one country to points in the other, hits the TIstEs pretty hard, we are in hearty approval of the new ar- rangement, and congratulate Postmaster General Lemieux in being able to carry out the new arrangement. It would have eerved muoh better to have the new arrangement go into effect at the be- ginning of the year, as nearly all the eubscriptions to newepapere expire at the New Year, but this is a small matter. Canada has long enough had the "dirty" end of the second class mail business. We have for years been performing nine -tenths of the labor and receiving less than one-tenth of the revenue, in that for every ton of newspapers sent to the United Stats from Canada nine tons were received from that country in- to Canada. The new arrangement will shut out a number of undesirable and cheap publications that were nothing more than advertising pamphlets. The better class of publications will establish We Trust Doctors • If you are suffering from impure blood, thin blood, de- bility, nervousness, exhaus- tion, you should begin at once with Ayer's Sarsaparilla, the Sarsaparilla you have known - all your life.

Iu this cc n• 'motion it may be mentioned that one American magazine has already made arrangements to publish a Canadian edition of their maga„sine at Tcronto. Another way in which the old treaty worked to a disadvantage for Canada is that au American publication could send in a ton of their papers to a Cana- dian city and have them delivered at $20 per year, whereas for a similar service a Canadian publication would be forced to pay $160. TOWN COUNCIL. . Town Couucil met on Monday even- ing; all the members present except Councillor Kerr; Mayor Holmes in the chair.

TIIE WINGIIAM TIMES, MAY 9, 1907 CRIPPLED BY SCIATICA Made Well and Strong by Dr Wil- liams' Pink Pills after Doctors had failed. Mr H. W, Await is one of the leading, merchants of Hemford, N. S. A few years ago he was a great sufferer from that most exorniating trouble sciatica, He says; At the time I was afflicted I was living at Baker Settlement. The attack was so severe that I had been off work -for some time. The cords of my legs were all drawn up and I could only Linp along with the aid of a stick. The pain I suffered was terrible. I was in misery both day and night. Every moment caused me enoh pain as only those who hare been tortured with soiatioa can know. I was treated by several doctors, but they did not help me a bit. In fact I almost began to feel that my condition was helpl , when Dr Williams' Pink Pills wer rought to my attention. I got a half oxen boxes I bad used about the entt a quantity be- fore I found any be efit But I was en- - and got tcond halt dozen boxes and before t ere were all gone every vestige of the trouble had disap- peared. Not only this, but I was im- proved in health in every way, as it will be readily understood that the long siege of pain I had suffered had left me badly run down; I can't speak too highly of Dr William's Pink Pills. I can't recommend them to strongly to other sufferers.” Dr Williams' Pink Pills cure sciatica simply because they make the rich, red blood that soothes and strengthens the jangled aching nerves. That is why they cure such nerve troubles as neural- . gig, St Vitus dance and partial paralysis." That is why they cure all ailments clue . to poor watery blood. That is why they make weary, despondent, broken-down men and women bright, active and strong. But only the genuine pills can do this, and they have the full name, Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People on the wrapper around every box. Sold by medicine dealers . everywhere or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2 50 by addressing the Dr Williams' Medicine do., Brockville, Ont, . ald, Gordon and Nicholson were ap- pointed a committee to arrange for the reception of the Huron Old Boys of Toronto on their annual excursion this .year. The Executive Committee was in- 'striicted to close the 'deal with Thos. Aitcheson for right -of way across lot to the stove foundry. " The clerk was instructed to notify Mr Worden to remove his fence off the town property near the gravel pit. Council adjourned.

The only truly tailor-made suit is the one made by the individual, made by hand and fashioned into sha'pe, instead of being rushed through what we call a " sweatshop," from one machine to . an- other, without any real tailoring , being done on it ; and the. material inside is not intended to keep the garment ill shape. any longer tnan to sell it. - We have the lines and styles of material that will inter -- est anyone who is wanting an up-to-date Suit.
