NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Nomination for the bye -elections in
London, North Wellington and East
Northumberland, for the House of Com-
move, will be held on Tuesday, October
22nd, and elections a week later, Ootober
29th.
The customs revenge of the Dominion
for the six months ending August shows
an increase of $6,418,290 over same time
last year. The total collections for the
past six months was 831,412,735. The
collections for August $5,203,638, an in-
crease of $546,225 over August of last
year.
The succession duties for the month
of September aggregated $61,754, from
fifteen estates. The amount was doable
that received for September of 1906.
The total for the nine months of this
year, exclusive of refunds, is somewhat
over $760,000 or $50,000 more than on.
Mr. Matheson's estimate of $700,000,
Made in his last budget speech.
The vegetable Drop outlook in Ontario,
as reported by the Drop correspondents
of the Ontario Vegetable Growers'
Association, is' much better than it was
last month. Most of the crops look fair-
ly well as the situation has been greatly
improved by rains. The crop with moat
gardeners will yield more than was
anticipated as good growth is being made.
Onr former townsman, Mr. Geo. H.
Mooney, of the Ripley Express is gener-
ally spoken of as the next Liberal can.
didate for the Legislature for Centre
Brune. Many of Mr. Mooney's friends
are of the opinion that he would be able
to redeem the riding. Last week's Ches.
ley Enterprise says :-"Editor Mooney
of the Ripley Express is a candidate for
the Liberal nomination in Centre Bruce.
If the "Man from Huron" is the choice
of his party and corrals hie Conservative
relatives around Ripley, it will soon be
Geo. H. Mooney, M. P. P."
Five million specimens of the new
international stamp, adopted by the
Postal Conference held at Rome in 1906,
are now ready for distribution. The
new stamp is practically a money order
and can be redeemed for money at any
post -office all over the world. Its valve
is five cents. It will afford great facia.
ities for international communications.
Each year an account will be rendered
by every one of the countries connected
with the Postal Union, showing the
number of letters so stamped, received
and sent during the year, and the cent-
ral office of the Postal Union will settle
the accounts just as a clearing house
does.
The Hon. George P. Graham, recently
appointed Minister of Railways and Can-
als in the Dominion Cabinet, is just now
a inch -talked -about individual, so that
we are sure many of our readers will be
pleased to see a reproduction of his photo-
graph upon our cover this week, that they
may judge for themselves, to some extent
at any rate, what manner of man he is.
As the son of a Methodist minister, and
an official in the Methodist Church, thou-
sands of our readers, irrespective of party
• are cherishing high hopes for him in the
responsible and exceedingly trying posit-
ion to whioh he has been called. To give
one's self up to an active political life is,
we believe, to make a severe testing of
the ability and thoroughness of one's
moral and religions convictions, bat then
we suppose convictions are made for test-
ing, and should they break down under
it it is only a proof that they were not of
any great value before it came. Our best
wieh for Mr. Graham is that as the years
go on ho may prove himself a politician
Pale, Thin,

Then your blood must be in
a very bad condition. You

The total of the land grants received.
by the original Canadian Pacific amount-
ed to 20,710,400 acres, Of this total a
little aver 15,000,000 acres had been dis-
posed of up to the 90th of June last,
leaving a balance of more than eight
and one-half million aores still on .hand,
For the land wild last year over $S an
acre was realized. Aesnmiug that the
same price will be obtained for the bal-
ance still on hand, upwards of $68,000,-
000 will be secured from ealee yet to be
made. For the portion already void
$58,000,000 has been received. This
added to what may be reasonably ex-
pected from lands still unsold makes a
total of $126,000,000 from the sale of the
land grant. Qat off $26,000,000 for ex -
pensee of administration, ate., and the
balance remaining is $100,000,000. That
is equal to about $40,000 a mile for the
main line of the. Canadian Pacific to
which the land subsidy applied. But this
does not make up the total of the public
grants lavished on the 0. P. R. In ad-
dition the company received oash, com-
pleted railway and other advantages. to
the amount of some seventy or eighty
millions. No wonder Strathoona,
Mountstephon, VanHorne, and other
beneficiaries of this magnifioent largeness
are millionaires.
WHAT'S THE USE.
(Toronto Saturday Night.)
What's the use:' It seems that the
more success you have in life the harder
you must work, and the more money you
earn the more you spend, A man makes
a thousand dollars a year, and thinks he
could be rich on double the sum, but by
the time he earns double he only begins
to comprehend what a curse poverty is,
A mechanic, working against time, longs
for the day when he can be his own
master and can go to a bail game without
causing a hollow corner to appear in his
pay envelope at the end of the week, and
one day he realizes his dream and goes
into partnership with somebody, or em-
barks in business for himself. He soon
begins to age as if a dozen clocks were
recording time against him. He does
not have to toe the soratoh every morn-
ing, or wait for the whistle to blow be-
fore quitting work, in the evening, and
for a few days or even weeks he greatly
enjoys the wider horizon that Has opened
about him. But soon, if he does not
have to toe the scratch night and morn-
ing, he has to toe it just the same, He
goes back at night to work on the books;
he has business appointments to keep;
he prowls in likely places to fall in with
certain men whose good -will may be of
value to him. After he has' gone to bed
he remembers that he should have tele-
phoned somebody about some material
needed next day; he stubs his toe trying
to strike a light, gets to the telephone
and oentral gives'him the wrong number
-for it is one of the most curious of facts
that if a man stubs his bare toe on the
way to the telephone at night, he always
gets the wrong number. Taking it all
in all, the more competent a man proves
himself to be, the more bent civilization
becomes to ascertain precisely where his
breaking point is. Iron has its uses. if
a man professes to be of iron, he has got
to prove his metal, or be piled with the
laths. There is more work "at the top"
than anybody would suppose, who has
not been there. The greater a man's
business becomes, the larger grow his
responsibilities, and fewer and fewer be-
come the moments when he can fold up
hie hands and feet, draw the curtains
across the front of his mind, and, feeling
that he owes nothing to anybody, float
away on the current of a stream.
THE WINGHAbI TIMES, OCTOBER 3, 1907
THE STOMACH ON STRIKE
The Tonic Treatment for Indigestion
is the Most Successful.
Loss of appetite, coated tongue, bad
taste in the month, heavy dull headaohe
and a dull sluggish feeling --these are the
symptons of stomaoh trouble, They in-
dicate that the stomaoh ie on strike, that
it is no longer furnishing to the blood
the full quota of nourishment that the
body demands, hence every organeuffers.
There are two methods of treatment the
old one by which the stomaoh is humor-
ed by the use of predigested foods and
artificial ferments, and. the new one-
The Dr. Williams' Pink Pills method-
by which the stomaoh is toned np to do
the work nature intended of it. A recent
cure by the tonio treatment is that of
Mrs. Jas. W. Haskell, },'ort Maitland,
N. S. She says: "For years I enjoyed
perfect health, but suddenly headaches
seized me. I had a bad taste in my
mouth, my tongue was coated; I grew
tired and oppressed; my appetite left me
and such food as I did eat only mused
distress. I had severe pains in ply chest,
I lost all strength and was often seized
with vomiting, At differentAimes I was
treated by some of our bes doctors, but
although I followed their eatment care-
fully I did not get ny hotter. One day
while reading a pa ori came across a
case similar to m' which had been
cured by Dr, Wil m's Pink Pills. I
immediately purchased a supply and it
was not long before they began to help
me. I grew stronger day by day till now
I am as healthy as I ever was. 1 have a
good appetite, am strong and active and
eau attend to my household duties with-
out fatigue. I have no hesitation in
reoommending Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
to all sufferers from indigestion."
Rheumatism, kidney trouble, neural-
gia, St. Vitus' dance, headache and back-
ache, palpitation, general weakness, and
a host of other troubles, find their root in
bad blood just as in the case of stomaoh
trouble. That is why the Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills treatment is always a success
-they are a powerful blood builder and
nerve tonin. Sold by all druggists or
direct from The Dr. Williams' Medi•

Brantford's population increased 804

the Grand Trunk Pacific between Port-
age la Prairie and Miniota is ready for
traffic, and may be opened next week.
SENTENCE SERMONS.
Nursing sorrow is raising sia.
Yon cannot fatten folks on phrases.
There are no friendships without faith.
The poverty of life is due to the things
we miss.
The love of troth goes before likeness
to truth.
Ornamental piety usually adorns an
empty heart.
Every life may 'be known by the way
it leads.
God is not in the closet if He is not on
the street.
The beautiful life wastes no time
looking for a mirror.
A great deal of piety is only a game of
trying to dodge the Almighty.
If you have faith yon will see some-
thing glorious in every face.
The peered way to make an impres-
sion is to give up to depression.
Yon may know the greatness of any
man by the way he treats a ohild.
Yon oannot keep your life sweet and
wholesome by taking all your salt on
Sunday.
Some think they are full of faith be-
cause they turn their books on the facts.
Often the best way to understand
your brother Is to look in the faoe of
your Father.
There would he fewer prayers for the
removal of mountable if all were galled
by their right navies.
Some think they are wonderfully
brave beoause they screw np enough

The Dominion immigration agent,
Dr. Monroe, has notified all steamship
and transportation companies carrying
Japanese to Vancouver that no Japanese
will be admitted to Canada unless they
carry passports made out specifically to
Canada. This stops the dumping of

Live Steck Markets.
Toronto, Oat* 1. -The run at the City
Cattle Market for to -day was 70 loads,
with 1,025 head of cattle, 1,800 sheep and
lambs, 400 hogs, and 160 calves.
There was a fair trade for good butch-
er oattle to -day, as some of the cattle
intended for the export market were,
owing to the present light demand for
exporters, thrown into the butcher class,
the demand for the local trade was fair-
ly well supplied, though prices for the
best oattle were steady to firm. There
was a large proportion of cattle of poor
quality in the market, and the demand
for this class was not active. The range
of prices at the present time is very wide
extending all the way from $1.50 for
the very commonest cattle, to as high as
$5 for a few of the choicest picked
oattle. There is practically no difference
in prices as regards good export oattle
and good butcher oattle,both being for
the present about on the same basis.
The market is steady for good feeders,
this class of cattle being just now in de-
mand for distillery purposes.
