NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Ontario Cabin, t Ministers will be
buoy from this time on preparing for the
opening or the Legislature, which will
take place in all probability the first
week in January. The big item will be
the redistribution bill, and the session
will likely be short, to be followed by an
election n •xt June. So says a despatch
from Toronto.
The Ontario Railway and Municipal
Board are of the opinion that it is goad
policy for municipalities to postpone the
construction ot municipal improvements
for some time until the monetary con-
ditions have improved. The present
stringency may only he a passing oou-
diticn, which will right itself in a short
time, and in that view it will be well for
municipalities to borrow as little as poss-
ible at the present excessive rate of
interest,
Mr. Geo. Ross, Chief Postoffice Super
intendent for Canada in delivering an
address at the Ontario Postmasters'
Association banquet in Toronto last
week had a good word to say for the
picture post card. He started that 30,-
000 such cards were sent to the dead
letter office every week, mainly because
American visitors would insist in sucking
United States stamps on Dards addressed
to placee across the border. He aleo
pointed out in disenssing questions re-
lative to the work of the postmasters
that there were 469 postoffices collecting
revenue under $t0 per year and 2,196
collecting from $10 to $25.
Speaking ot abolishing statute labor.
the Clinton New Era says:—In looking
over our exchanges we note that a great
many municipalities are abolishing
statute labor, and it appears rather
strange that the new way of keeping Lei
roads is not taken up by more townships
in this County. The statute Iabor Iaw
is certainly ont of date, and the Council
that will put the system out of bnsine4
will certainly be looked up to as a pro-
gressive one. There is no douot that a
good many farmers would strongly ob-
ject to the change, but once the new
system became established these same
people would wonder why the change
had not been made years ago. Every
change of an established custom is hard
to bring about, but once done the farmer
would be the &ret to see the real benefit,
In improved roads and as a result less
wear and tear on his horses, wagons:
etc.
Tho change on the part of the Liberal
press was inevitable, and in the longrnn
will be found to be the beat, probably
for the party and certainly for the coun-
try. The newspaper that devotes too
much of its time to party politics cannot
discharge its full duty to its readers.
After all, party politics constitute but a
part of the actual life of the average
reader, and with many people not the
most important part. There are so
many interests demanding attention in
these days of rapid development. The
growing spirit of independence on the
part of the public demand a change of
attitude on the part of the party press,
even if such a change were not desirable
for its own sake. The "intelligent read -
ere' is becoming more and more of a
fact, and is demanding more and more
that his intelligence be admitted and
respected by the newspapers on which
he depends for his information. He
wants to understand the public questions
of the day in their relation to the coun-
try at large, and not simply as they have a
bearing on the fortunes of this or that
political party, and he insists that
the newspapers shall discuss them
on their merits. The newspapers can-
not afford to ignore these changes, and
the parties should not expect tha t they be
ignored.—Woodstock Sentinel -Review.

NEW CABINENT MINISTERS.
Sir Wilfrid lost no time in filling the
vacant cabinet positions, and he has
beeu fortunate in securing the eervices
of men whose record is Olean and who
will bring additional prestige to a cabi-
net which is today the pride and ad-
miration of the people of Canada. Hon.
Mr Graham as leader of the Provincial
Liberals has made a reputation for him-
self of which any man might justly be
proud, and his services will redound to
the credit of the Dominion. Hon. Mr.
Pugsley is not so well known in the
Western Provinces, but in New Bruns-
wick he stands for progressive govern.
meut, and the people of that province
feel that they have contributed one of
their most intellectual men to assist the
premier in his arduous duties. Within a
short time the people will have an oppor-
tunity of electing these gentlemen by
rousing majorities, thus proving to the
country at large that everyone is satis-
fied with affairs as they stand and that
a change of government is neither de-
sired nor would it be desirable. An op-
portnuity will present itself to the people
of Ontario and New Brunswick to regis-
ter a protest against the campaign of
slander and scandal which has been
adopted by the Conservatives, who have
nothing better to offer the electors, and
by returning these two gentlemen by
rousing majorities, even if not by accla-
mation, public feeling will be expressed.
THE GOVERNMENT JOB.
The Kincardine Review of recent date
very wisely sal s:—Young man—be
warned iu time. Let no one—not even
yourself—entice you to seek a public
office or what is commonly called a gov-
ernment
oyernment job. In this age when your
life is young and your health good and
when an independent competence awaits
any man who has snap, some intelligence
and a willingness to work, you would be
a fool to take a government office. If
there are fifty thousand office holders in
Canada, depend upon it that 40,000 of
them are sorry for being in the list. The
other 10,000 are men who got the few
public offices that are worth while or
are men who were broken down in health
or had been relegated to the shelf. The
average public office is not a private
snap. Make no mistake about it. From
the fury men show in rushing for a vac-
ant office you might suspect that it is
worth while, but note how soon it turns
into Dead Sea Fruit or apples of Sodom,
Once you get it you are measured with
red tape. I: you say your eonl's your
own, some kind friend reminds yon that
a change of government will see your
finish. Wheu yon take sick, two score
of your friends will be after your job
with the "characteristic fury" you dis-
played when you were after it. If you
recover they will all be sorry. If you
die, 39 of them will in the course of a
month, regret your death, and cures
your successor and the man who ap-
pointed him. No, air, don't do it. If
yon would be a man among men—if you
would retain your ambitions, your self-
reliance, your independence, — trek
northward when a government job is
vacant in the south.

Ontario's Wealth.
A recent issue of The Western Daily
News, of Bristol, England, contains an
account of the trip of the British jour-
nalists to Canada. The closing of the
article is in the way of a summary of
this province's wealth and importance.
On leaving Ontario, says the writer,
it may not be out of place to give a
few facts about the province. Ontario
is as large as four Englands, and but
little less than Franco and Germany.
It contains 40 per cent. of Canada's
population, and 20 per cent. of the popu-
lation of Ontario is engaged in agricul-
ture. It has 126 million acres, and 40
millions have been surveyed. Ontario's
farming indnetry output has doubled in
the last two decades without much in-
crease in acreage. Ontario has agreater
variety of mineral deposits in proportion
to population than any country in the
world. It has 1,129,047 dairy cows,
worth over six millions, Though the
fruit industry is only in its infancy, there
are over ten million apple trees in the pro-
vince. The production of apples in-
creased. from 1801 to 1001 by nearly 300
per cent. and that of pears and plume by
over 1000 per cent. Ontario's apple crop
for 1006 was 35 million bushels from 0,-
808,8,10 trees. In 100G there were 352,.
300 acres in orchards and gatdene and
12,735 in 'vineyards. Ontario has 196,-
387 colonies of bees. There Were 6087
acres in tobaeoo in 1006, with a crop of
7,575,000 lbs. Five thousand deer hon•
term killed 10,000 deer, Ontario's re-
eeipts in 1006 were $1,429,895, and the
expenditure $1,346,436. In almost every
place visited in the province the good
type of dwelling ooctipfed by the artisan
and working classes generally was re-
garded as one of many eviaenoes of pros.
Weak, Sickly People,.
Will Find New Strength Through
the Use of Dr, Williams' Pink
Pills.
A. great many young men and women
are enddenly seized with weakness.
Their appetite fails thom;they tire on
the least exertion, and become pale and
thin. They do not feel any specific pain
—just weakness. But that weakness is
dangerous. It is a sign that the blood is
thiu and watery; that it needs building
up. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills will restore
lost strength because they actually make
new, rich blood—they will help you.
Concerning then} Mr. Alfred Lepage, of
St. Jerome, Qae., says: "For several
years I have been employed in a grocery
and up to the age of seventeen I had al-
ways enjoyed the best of health. But
soddenly my strength began to leave� e
—
I grew pale, thin and extremely ak.
Oar family doctor ordered a oglnplete
rest and advised me to remain out of
doors as much as possible, sp'T went to
spend several weeks witheen uncle who
/ I
lived in the Lauren 'des,was in the
hope that the br tag' mountain air
would help me, bu et didn't, and I re-
turned home in a eplorable state. I
was subject to dizziness, indigestion and
general weakness, One day I read of a
case very similar to my own cured
through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and I decided to give them a trial.
After taking four boxes of the pills I felt
ereatly improved, so continued their ,use
for some time longer and they fully oared
me. I am now able to go about my
work as well as ever I did and have
nothing but the greatest praise for Dr:
Williams' Pink Pills,"
The blood—good blood—is the secret
of health. If the blood is not pure the
body becomes diseased or the nerves
shattered. Keep the blood pure and
disease cannot exist. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills make rich, red blood-. that is
why they cure anaemia, rheumatism,
indigestion, headache, backache, kidney
trouble and the secret ailments of girl-
hood and womanhood. Sold at 50 cents
a box or six boxes for $2,50, by all medi-
cine dealers or by mall from The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont.
Hammer Oldest Implement.
The hammer, besides being a tool of
unverisal use, is probably the oldest
representative of a mechanic's tool kit.
The hammer was originally a stone fast-
ened to a handle with thongs, and it was
as useful as a weapon as it was a tool.
Hammers are represented on the mon-
uments of Egypt twenty centuries before
our era. They greatly resembled the
hammer now in use, save that there
were no claws on the back for the extrac-
tion of nails. Claw hammers were in-
vented some time during the Middle
Ages. Illuminated manuscripts of the
eleventh century represent carpenters
with claw hammers.—Baltimore Sun.
85 per cent of headaches are,,tt'fie result
of eyestrain. Chas. J. Western's scien-
tifically adjusted glasses /will relieve
eyestrain with al its attiending afflic-
tions. If the glass s now wear are
not enitable or it our lenses require
changing, consult him in the parlor of
the Queen's hotel on Thursday, Sept.
26th.
Lire Stock !markets.
Toronto, Sept. 10.—There were 63 oars
of live stock of all kinds at the City
Cattle Market this morning. There
were on sale 950 head of cattle, 1,350
head of sheep and lambs, 300 hogs';
and 150 calves.
There is practically no change in the
general market conditions this week,
and prices are unchanged. There is a
fair and active demand for all good
quality of cattle, for export and for the
local trade. Choice quality, however,
is still very scarce. One or two very
choice loads of exports sold at $5 to
$5,25, and one load of extra choice was
reported at $5.50. The general ran of
the cattle offering, however, is only of
a medium quality, and selling at from
$4.50 to $4 75.
